00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This video is the easiest way to gain distance.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
So many golfers come to the site,

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
obviously wanting to hit the ball further,

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
because the long ball is a whole lot of fun.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The challenge is most golfers that come to the site

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
say that they want to hit a further,

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
so they need to pick up some club head speed.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Now, the standard math shows that for every mile per hour

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
of speed gain you get, you can gain up to about 2.8 yards,

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
somewhere around there.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
In order to gain, let's say, 30 yards,

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
that means that I'm going to gain 10 miles per hour.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
And while we've had students going through this program,

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
pick up 5, 6, 7, even 8 miles per hour in club as speed,

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
gaining 10 yards or 10 miles per hour is actually quite a bit challenging.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
What's easier to do is to maximize your lunch characteristics.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So a lot of the movements that we teach in the program

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
will help you improve your spin loft or your compression

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
and get more out of the speed.

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So the times when golfers rapidly gain 40 yards, 50 yards,

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
60 yards, that happens more from improving

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
your lunch characteristics, not from gaining 20 miles per hour

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
in club that's speed like that.

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
It's pretty unrealistic to imagine

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
that you could gain 20 miles per hour in club head speed

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
just from one quick tip.

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
But it's possible to change your lunch characteristics

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
and actually hit it that much further pretty much overnight.

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So if you're working on trying to find the easiest ways

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
to maximize your distance and you don't have access

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
to a lunch monitor, you want to try to look for a ball flight

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
that's going to be tending to launch higher but flatter.

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So it'll kind of come off more like this

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
as opposed to launching lower and then spinning up.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
When you start getting that launch low high spin shot,

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
you're losing a lot of distance to the field.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
The other way to look at it is if you play with a lot of people

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
and you hit your irons about the same distance

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
but then they hit their driver significantly further

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
and you notice that trend, their driver is a little bit flatter.

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Yours is a little bit more spinny kind of like that.

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
You know that your angle of attack is probably a little bit too steep

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
and your face to path relationship is probably a little bit too open.

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Those two will produce that low launch high spin combination.

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Where in order to produce the high launch low spin combination

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
you need to have your upper body working away from the target

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
or behind the golf ball and you need to de-loft the club to the path.

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
So even though the path is going up,

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
the club face is closing compared to that path.

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
So it hits this higher launching ball but has a lower spin profile.

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
To visualize that we can take a look at something called spin loft

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
where the amount of spin is roughly the difference between this angle,

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
the loft of the club it impact and the angle of attack.

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
So if this driver stays the same, this is going to have a lot of spin

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
and that's going to have virtually no spin.

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
These are some exaggerated angle of attack numbers.

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000
But if you have more of a downward strike kind of like so,

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000
the goal is to get to an upward strike kind of like that

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
to help maximize your speed.

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
That's a whole lot easier than trying to find a way to pick up

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
10 miles per hour in actual club head speed.

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
So maximize your launch characteristics first

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
and then if you need a secondary approach,

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I would work on face contact.

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
It's only after I've maximized those two that I would then start looking at trying to

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
develop either bigger swing, faster swing, more explosive,

00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
trying to actually gain club as a second point.

00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
What I mentioned is looking at contact point.

00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
So using something like the Dr. Scholes foot spray

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
to be able to look at contact location because if you're

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
contacting it, three quarters of an inch and inch off the sweet spot,

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000
you can easily be losing 30, 40 yards just from contact,

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
obviously depending on your club head speed.

00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
So maximize your launch characteristics,

00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
maximize center face contact and those two combination will help give you

00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
the easiest speed gains.

00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
If you gain some distance from working on your sequencing and working on

00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
your energy transfer, that's great,

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
but it's rarely going to be more than 10 to 15 yards.

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
When you're looking for those 30 to 50 yard gains,

00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
it's going to come from those first two characteristics of just maximizing your physics.
