This content video is connecting the quiver pools to shoulder blade movement.

1
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:11.900
So, um, first off,

2
00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:16.220
let me just say if you're more of a newer golfer, casual golfer,

3
00:00:16.220 --> 00:00:18.980
you're not really into the, the detailed discussions online,

4
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:21.420
go watch another video. Cause I'm going to,

5
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:26.260
I'm going to connect a concept that is, I think, um, trickier for,

6
00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:29.500
for new golfers and would probably add more confusion.

7
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:34.340
But if you've been trying to understand the quiver pull feel and how

8
00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:38.420
force, uh, happens at the top of the swing, this might help, uh,

9
00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:39.380
connect some dots for you.

10
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.580
So the quiver pole is basically from the top of the swing.

11
00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:47.740
The dominant force pattern is going to be going that way.

12
00:00:48.050 --> 00:00:51.260
What we're gonna discuss is, well, how does that happen? Um,

13
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.580
so the primary mechanism for the force pattern going that

14
00:00:56.580 --> 00:01:01.100
way at the top of the swing instead of down is going to be, uh,

15
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:04.900
the inside of your armpit connected to your oblique or your serras anterior

16
00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:08.700
sling. So the oblique, the serratus, and the rhomboid. Um,

17
00:01:08.770 --> 00:01:12.980
what'll happen is if I'm making a good golf swing and I get up towards the top

18
00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:13.570
of the swing,

19
00:01:13.570 --> 00:01:17.820
what'll happen is the momentum of the club is moving in the direction of the

20
00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:19.060
target. In addition,

21
00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:23.220
the momentum on my body have already recentered starting right around here.

22
00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:25.700
So my body is actually shifting towards the target too.

23
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.420
So I have the mass of the club and the mass of my body moving this way.

24
00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:35.900
This shoulder blade movement is going to be able to

25
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.180
resist the arm getting pulled that way from the momentum of the club and the

26
00:01:41.380 --> 00:01:46.220
momentum of the body. So that shoulder blade, um, staying a little bit more, uh,

27
00:01:46.290 --> 00:01:50.980
kind of connected with the inside kind of has this rebound or spring-like

28
00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:55.940
action like that. And so what happens is as you get up to the top of the swing,

29
00:01:56.170 --> 00:02:00.300
it's that shoulder blade as I'm changing direction that delivers the force

30
00:02:00.300 --> 00:02:01.580
moving out that way.

31
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.620
If on the other hand I had in my mind I was doing more of a weight shift like

32
00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:08.820
this, this and picking the club up,

33
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:12.580
now I'm creating some stretch in my arm muscles.

34
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.380
And those arm muscles are going to do more of a force pattern coming down

35
00:02:17.810 --> 00:02:19.620
instead of out. Um,

36
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.540
so that force pattern driven by the arm dominance swing is kind of coming too

37
00:02:23.540 --> 00:02:27.940
steep or too vertical. Um, if it's delivered more from this, uh,

38
00:02:28.140 --> 00:02:32.780
s radius in anterior with the oblique, then it's gonna be going out that way.

39
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.620
Um, with the quiver pool, oftentimes timing wise,

40
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.260
it will also align with, um,

41
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.500
having a faster top of backswing position. So you'll hear a lot of, um,

42
00:02:43.570 --> 00:02:47.380
kind the sports science guys and the long drive competitors talk about trying to

43
00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:49.460
speed up the backswing. Um,

44
00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:54.060
that's done in a way to really load this sling so you get this

45
00:02:54.580 --> 00:02:56.180
rebound effect. I think that's similar.

46
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.900
If I was trying to throw a ball really hard,

47
00:02:59.380 --> 00:03:02.660
I wouldn't bring it back slow and then try to rapidly speed up,

48
00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:07.540
I would bring it back faster so that my body would be resisting more momentum.

49
00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:12.020
It could activate even earlier and stronger so that then at the point where it

50
00:03:12.260 --> 00:03:15.220
overcomes the force and propels it towards the target,

51
00:03:15.410 --> 00:03:17.780
it's at a higher activation, I get more speed out of it.

52
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.420
So this shoulder blade kind of quiver,

53
00:03:22.700 --> 00:03:26.660
rebound feel kind of that movement there, um,

54
00:03:26.950 --> 00:03:30.940
looks different when I have the hands on the club. It looks more like that,

55
00:03:30.940 --> 00:03:34.540
but you can still see that the rebound and the force of the hands are going out

56
00:03:34.540 --> 00:03:35.090
that way.

57
00:03:35.090 --> 00:03:39.980
It's not that I'm actively pushing with my triceps and my arms out that way,

58
00:03:40.290 --> 00:03:43.860
it's that it's rebounding in that direction, um,

59
00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:48.300
because of the rotational sling. So as a quick demo,

60
00:03:48.940 --> 00:03:51.540
I usually show two options.

61
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:56.860
One would be I'm going to shift backward and kind of load and pull down

62
00:03:56.860 --> 00:04:01.540
with my arms. So I loaded everything up and I pulled down kind of like that.

63
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.860
So that was more of a one and two, um,

64
00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:09.340
with a kind of a up and down type motion. So now the second version,

65
00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:13.580
and I'll do it pretty slow like that, like I demonstrated the first version,

66
00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:15.700
but pretty slow now.

67
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:19.820
I'm gonna feel more of this inside of the armpit getting stretched,

68
00:04:19.820 --> 00:04:23.380
the ribs getting stretched. Um, and you'll see timing wise,

69
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.140
it has a little bit more of this like smoothness or

70
00:04:30.250 --> 00:04:34.580
blended transition. Now, if I tried to do it with speed,

71
00:04:34.580 --> 00:04:38.540
that's where the real magic of this movement, um, tends to creep in.

72
00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:41.420
So if I was to do the first version hard,

73
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.300
if I was to kind of bring back nice and slow,

74
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.900
you'll see a low point is a nightmare when I get really steep like that. So I,

75
00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:53.940
I shanked it. Um, and b, if you put it on launch monitor,

76
00:04:53.940 --> 00:04:55.780
it's actually not that fast. Um,

77
00:04:55.820 --> 00:04:59.100
I was demonstrating it for a student when I was pretty warmed up. Um,

78
00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:02.100
and I was able to swing just on two reps,

79
00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:06.020
six miles per hour faster focusing on the rebound rather than a dynamic pull.

80
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.940
So now I'm gonna focus not on pulling down hard,

81
00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:15.180
I'm gonna focus on speeding up the top of the backswing while loading

82
00:05:15.210 --> 00:05:18.140
into that lead foot to get more of this rebound effect.

83
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.020
So now we'll do more of that rebound fast load

84
00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:29.370
and it has a very different cadence and feel,

85
00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:32.250
it feels like tons of speed down at the bottom. Um,

86
00:05:32.510 --> 00:05:35.170
and it feels like I'm kind of moving in two different ways at the top,

87
00:05:35.630 --> 00:05:39.490
but it does a better job if you're looking out on video of getting that quiver

88
00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:41.730
pull the center mass of the club,

89
00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:44.610
kind of traveling more that way as opposed to straight down.

90
00:05:44.990 --> 00:05:49.010
So if you struggled with it and don't totally understand the quiver pole, um,

91
00:05:49.010 --> 00:05:52.530
one of the kind of sports science topics, um,

92
00:05:53.080 --> 00:05:56.810
look at it from a body perspective and trying to get more of this oblique swing

93
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.850
with this top of the back swing kind of rebound feel, um,

94
00:05:59.850 --> 00:06:02.050
rather than an active load and pull.
