This concept video is connecting scapular alignment to

1
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:11.700
impact alignment. So when we

2
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:14.200
look at impact we're looking at kind of

3
00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:17.200
the Merry-Go-Round and the impact line and getting the upper

4
00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:20.400
body in a good kind of stacked position over

5
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:23.300
the golf ball to help control low point but we're also

6
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.800
trying not to be too Steep. And so

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.600
what can often happen is if your shoulder blades

8
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.400
don't do the right thing, then it prevents your body

9
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:36.100
from getting into more of that open classic impact look

10
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:38.400
so oftentimes the way I'll demonstrate

11
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:41.800
so I held a club out in front of me like this. Then

12
00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:44.800
we have different videos relating to

13
00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:48.000
the downswing in the release and even transition where

14
00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:50.300
we feel more of a movement kind

15
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:53.800
of like this where essentially if I was to pull if you

16
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:56.500
imagine that my hands or my shoulder blades if I was to pull my

17
00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:59.200
right shoulder blade down and back

18
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.200
kind of down towards my left butt cheek

19
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.900
kind of down this way and if I was to reach that,

20
00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:08.600
Left shoulder blade up and forward that would create

21
00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:11.200
a shoulder alignment that was pointing way out there

22
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.300
to the right 30 degrees 40 degrees out to the right kind of

23
00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:17.500
like this. So if I got down into this posture and I kept the shoulders in

24
00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.100
that position now if I was to turn my

25
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:23.700
belly button my hips can be open but my

26
00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:26.300
shoulders are relatively square and I

27
00:01:26.300 --> 00:01:26.800
can do that.

28
00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:31.100
And get my upper body on top of my left foot.

29
00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:34.800
A common dysfunctional pattern is

30
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:37.600
if you get too much either throw from

31
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:40.800
this right shoulder where this right shoulder is going up or too

32
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:43.700
much pull from this left shoulder. Essentially. What

33
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:46.600
happens is the shoulder blades start till to tipping this

34
00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:49.200
way now with my shoulders tip this way. If

35
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.500
I was to get into that same impact position, you could see how steep

36
00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:56.500
I would be from this down line. So the classical compensations

37
00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:59.200
is from this steeper shoulder

38
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.300
position. I will either slide and

39
00:02:01.300 --> 00:02:04.600
tilt back now, I got this steep arm

40
00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:07.300
motion pointing in the direction of

41
00:02:07.300 --> 00:02:10.400
the Target or was in

42
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.400
this position. I'll do more of an early extension kind of

43
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.500
like this where that also helps prevent getting

44
00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:19.300
too steep. So if you're struggling with getting your

45
00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:22.000
body open, one of the kind of

46
00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.900
hidden places that's hard for a lot of golfers to identify is

47
00:02:25.900 --> 00:02:28.500
the shoulder blades. The easiest

48
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:30.900
way to see is from the down the line video.

49
00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:34.000
As we approach impact we still want to

50
00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:37.400
see that right shoulder kind of scrunch down

51
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.200
here where we'll see this right side creasing or

52
00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:43.300
compressing more like this. If you already see that

53
00:02:43.300 --> 00:02:46.900
right shoulder up double check in transition oftentimes,

54
00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:49.300
you'll see that right shoulder coming up towards the

55
00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:52.300
ear. What a lot of really

56
00:02:52.300 --> 00:02:56.100
good ball Strikers do is they create more space there where that

57
00:02:55.100 --> 00:02:58.900
shoulder is coming down and away

58
00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:01.600
from the ear as the body is

59
00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:03.600
rotating into position kind of like this.

60
00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:04.600
so

61
00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.500
we've drills on isolating either the left arm not pulling

62
00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:11.500
down kind of blocking and staying up or the right arm

63
00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:14.000
staying more down and back.

64
00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:17.300
When you do that making sure that you don't get too much

65
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:20.400
tilt so some we have some anti tilt drills

66
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.700
to help combo that but this is this concept

67
00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:26.500
video is a way for you to kind of think about and

68
00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:30.500
start exploring. Well, how could I be upper upper

69
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:32.800
body stacked on top of the Lead Foot and

70
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.900
rotated but still have those shoulders in

71
00:03:35.900 --> 00:03:38.400
a more square or close position

72
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.500
in order to do that. I'm gonna have to feel the shoulder

73
00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:44.200
blades being more tilted out to

74
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:47.200
the right and kind of connected now the other

75
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:50.600
little benefit to this is if you get the hang

76
00:03:50.600 --> 00:03:52.400
of it what It ultimately feels

77
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.600
Is as I'm more as I'm more connected

78
00:03:56.600 --> 00:03:59.300
kind of like this my body and my

79
00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:03.000
arms will have a tendency to rotate through together. And

80
00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:05.200
so when the when the arm gets

81
00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:08.600
up, it gets kind of disconnected, but when it's down like this my body

82
00:04:08.600 --> 00:04:11.600
and my arms tend to work more in harmony

83
00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:14.500
or together, so it'll feel maybe a

84
00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:17.200
little bit stiff. But as you do it

85
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:20.500
more it will feel shallow compressed as

86
00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:21.400
well as

87
00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:25.100
Connected so it'll feel like there's a lot

88
00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:28.700
less of throw. I got a little bit tilted back

89
00:04:28.700 --> 00:04:31.700
on that one. So I caught that a little thin and

90
00:04:31.700 --> 00:04:35.400
that is one of the most common compensations if

91
00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.400
you start working on this you want to really monitor

92
00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:41.100
from the face on video that you're still able.

93
00:04:42.200 --> 00:04:46.500
To get forward as that shoulder is down not

94
00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:48.300
just going down this way when I

95
00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.200
go down that way. It's more of I'm cheating from the pelvis and

96
00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:54.700
the spine instead of just doing it from the

97
00:04:54.700 --> 00:04:55.700
shoulders. So

98
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.300
You're struggling with your impact position check out your shoulders.

99
00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:02.700
They may be sabotaging you and refer to

100
00:05:02.700 --> 00:05:05.200
looking at your video so that you can see which one

101
00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:08.300
might be throwing you off. And when that'll help you point you

102
00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:12.300
in the direction of some breakthrough drills that might really help improve

103
00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:14.300
your overall contact and flat spot control

104
00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:15.800
during your release.

105
00:05:25.300 --> 00:05:25.700
Kind of like that.
