00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
This is the three-step swing plan.

00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So we've had a number of requests for kind of a little bit more structure, like say, a six-week program,

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
or three-week program, to kind of go through all the content of the full swing.

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
So I'd like to point out that I think that it's a challenge to go through all the content

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
in one sequential plan.

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
But we can use a plan to pinpoint some of the key areas to focus on, and then you can use

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
some of the additional videos to kind of build upon the main points that you figure

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
out in that plan.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
So the three-step plan, the way I would go about this swing.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
And I frequently use this at the beginning of the season just to kind of take inventory

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
and see where my swings at or to refresh kind of the fundamentals, as I think they're

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
key.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
And you can use this as kind of a short-term six-week program, three-week program.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
I've seen it done even in a week of trying to get ready for an event and really establish

00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
some playing fields.

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
So it's kind of like it's almost like tasting all the different areas of the swing and figuring

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
out which ones are the most important for me right now.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:16,000
So the three-step samples, the step one, we're going to work on set up and brushing the

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
ground.

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Step two, we're going to work on sequencing and then step three, we're going to work

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
on the back swing.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Now within step three, we're going to revisit the brush.

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
We'll work on back swing and brush because the brush location is so important for building

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
that playing field and taking you away from too many internal thoughts and getting really

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
externally focused on where the club head is.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
So step one would be working on some of your setup fundamentals.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So you can look through the setup section and if you're doing this as a review, you can

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
just kind of refresh which might be your keys.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
But basically finding a good posture, so kind of keeping my core engaged, slide my hands

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
down until they're at about my kneecaps, feeling even weight distribution.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So kind of good neutral spine, letting my arms hang and then taking my good grip procedure.

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
We'll include some of the videos down here in step one, you can jump along and follow

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
those.

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
The problem with just doing setup is it doesn't really give you a good concept to work

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
on during the swing.

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
So it can be pretty good anchor as far as a playing field, like, okay, I'm going to get

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
in this good setup and then I'm just going to press play.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
I'm just going to let the swing go.

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
But for this little for a three step program, it doesn't make sense for that to be the

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
only thing you do in step one.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
So step one, you're working on these setup fundamentals and then you're trying to work

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
on getting the club to brush the ground and finish in a good follow through.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
So if I field a club, kind of slamming in the ground, I'm just going to do little adjustments

00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000
and just see what I can athletically figure out, get my body to do, to brush the ground

00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
in a good way.

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
So I'm working through this.

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
This could be one practice session, this could be three practice sessions, this could

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
be a whole month.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So I'm putting these in terms of steps instead of timelines because everybody is going

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
to have a different amount of practice, focus, their level of attention.

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
So this is just step one.

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Okay, so step one, find that good setup position, you know, in from the hips, good spine,

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
good weight distribution, iron, so slightly forward, good arm hang.

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
All right, setup feels pretty good.

00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And now in my mind, I'm just feeling that club brushing the ground and using whatever kind

00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
of playing field I've got to do that and then I can take some swings trying to get that

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
club to brush the ground.

00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Okay, step two, once I feel like I've got not even mastery, but kind of some proficiency

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
with just brushing the ground, now I'm going to work on sequencing.

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
So I'm going to work on transition into downswing.

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I'm going to work on getting my lower body to kind of initiate.

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
I'm going to work on maintaining my spine, so I'm not going into early extension.

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I'm not going into a forward lunge.

00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
I'm working on the sequencing transition and kind of getting into a good delivery position.

00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
So we started down with impact and brushing.

00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Now we're working back to delivery, but what I can do here is I can add in any of the

00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
feelings that I was using during that first step of the getting the club to brush while

00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
I'm working on these transitions.

00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
So I may be doing kind of some step drills.

00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I may be doing some pump drills kind of like so.

00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,000
I may be doing some broken transition focusing on either the armshyowing, the early

00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
closing or focusing on the sequencing of the body movements, right?

00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000
So trying to get my thighs to be or my belt buckle kind of pointing out there while the club

00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
is still behind me.

00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
All those sequencing and timing movements that yield in yield a really good transition.

00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
So step one, I was getting brushing.

00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Now I'm going to do swing where I focus a little bit more on getting some of those

00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
transition sequencing feelings.

00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Now I've got kind of that sequence that I want.

00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
And I kind of let it go just like so.

00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
So now I've got to really solid down swing.

00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I've got a good feeling on there, but my contact might not be what I want or it might take too much

00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
mental focus for me to really feel like I can go play with those thoughts.

00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
So step three, as I'm going to review some of the back swing things.

00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000
So I'm going to work on getting a good one piece take away, keeping the club kind of out in front of me,

00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
not letting it get too far inside or not letting it just be arms.

00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,000
So all those bad things getting the the body to kind of initiate the takeaway.

00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
And then making sure that I keep a relatively centered pivot.

00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
So while I have a pretty good pressure shift and I have a little bit of movement off the ball,

00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
I don't want to have a big upper body or lower body sway off the ball.

00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000
And I work on my shoulder tilt and kind of width up at the top.

00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:30,000
So I'd work on the shoulders getting a little bit more tilted, having more of that kind of left side crunch.

00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Well, I was made to get into my trail hip and I'd focus on having my arms extend getting the club on on path and plane.

00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,000
And then I would revisit some of the things that I've done with either step one or step two.

00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,000
So what I would highly recommend, you're not doing already, when you go through one of these like three step programs,

00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,000
set up a journal so that you can keep notes as to what were your really good playing fields.

00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:08,000
I like to kind of rate the date and then I'll write down what is my plan when I go to the range,

00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
what am I going to work on? I'll write on what did I discover when I was at the range?

00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,000
And then I'll write when I left on a scale one to ten how successful was the practice, how well was I hitting the golf ball at the end.

00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000
I personally because I like to dabble a little bit with art,

00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:34,000
I'll draw what my swing thoughts were in my journal, usually which is stick figures, but I'll draw it so that I have a good memory of it.

00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
So when I'm doing these back swing drills or this back swing step,

00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,000
I'm also going to focus again on brushing the ground and revisiting that kind of follow through

00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,000
our extension thing. So now I may be kind of feeling some of these back swing moves,

00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:00,000
feeling that back swing pivot, there we go, there's pretty good, well back swing move and now I'm just going to

00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,000
shift my focus from back swing to that follow through as I work through the practice. So good back swing move,

00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,000
kind of like so. And now when I did that I felt like my sequence in transition wasn't quite as good as when I was

00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
focusing on on sequence, but this might be something that'd be easier for me to play if I was potentially

00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,000
getting ready for a trip or a tournament. So this is great to do either at the end of the season as kind of a

00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,000
wrapping things down. At the beginning of season to refresh everything that you've studied over the last year.

00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000
So or for a short term, how can I develop some good playing fields where I'm not really sure where my

00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,000
swings at is a great way to work through any of those three challenges. And if you come up with any other

00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:55,000
suggestions of how you can use these three separate programs, please send us a message in the bottom here.

00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Because I think that you'll come up with some great ways to use this little program in addition to what

00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
I've laid out here for you.
