00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
In this concept video, we'll talk about the fast turn of a cast pattern.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So when it comes to a cast pattern, there's a couple different categories or there's

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
a couple different driving forces.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
One can be, what are you doing with the arms?

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
If you get up to the top of the swing and you have a tendency to push with the arms, especially

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
straightening that right wrist, straightening that right elbow or pulling down with that left

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
shoulder, those can all cause the club to cast away from you.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
But one common pattern or one common component is an early spin of the shoulders.

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
So if I imagine that I had a cable machine here and I was holding onto this cable and I

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
pulled with my shoulder blades kind of like this, that can feel quite powerful and it's

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
in a rotational movement towards the target.

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000
But what will happen is if I separate my hands, you'll get an exaggerated look of how

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
this movement for a couple different reasons tends to cause the club to fly away from

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
me.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So if all I do is I go up to the top of the swing and then I fire my shoulders really

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:22,000
hard and let the arms kind of come along for the ride, you will see that there's a little

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,000
bit of this early width and it feels like I'm kind of decelerating as I get close to

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
impact.

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
We'll do that again.

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,000
So I get up and I turn really fast with my shoulders, it causes this to throw out

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,000
and I'll tend to have some low point issues commonly that would be solved by swinging

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
outside in or lunging forward.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So one of the harder components for a lot of it offers coming out of the cast pattern

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
is learning to be patient or learning to wait, especially with this feel of that left arm

00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
pulling.

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
One of the classic thoughts is keep your back to the target longer but sometimes that causes

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
you to keep your hips quiet as well.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So I think that it's this feeling of kind of creating this stretch or the lower body

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
getting ahead of the upper body while you're doing that the arms can shallow or drop

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
into position.

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
So if I demonstrate that one here we can take a look at these.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,000
So from the top of the swing now I'm going to keep my feeling of the shoulder staying

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:38,000
close to the golf ball instead of spinning away but still get my hips open.

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Kind of like that and with perception-wise that felt like it had a lot less effort to

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000
it and it flew about 40 yards further than the one where I felt like I was swinging hard.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
But the timing of the first one felt like a really quick flash right away and the timing

00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
of the second one felt like I didn't do anything hard with my arms until I got close

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
to about belly button height.

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Now I felt like I was building up speed in the club.

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
I just wasn't applying it with the arms yet.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:17,000
So this can be kind of a rhythm or a tempo thing to work on or I should say most golfers

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
are either sensitive to positions or rhythm and tempo.

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
And so this is more of a rhythm and tempo thing where I need to feel like my shoulders

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
are a little bit later or my arms are not quite as early.

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
A lot of golfers do well feeling like they slow things down.

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
That helps prevent this early pull or they feel like the arms drop before they then

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
fire.

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
For the golfers who are more sensitive to positions this will feel like my upper body

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
stays a little bit more closed as my arms get in front and as my lower body gets out.

00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
So I might feel more of a stretch on this left side when I might feel a little bit more

00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
softness in the arms as I'm doing it.

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,000
So real quick if you're a caster you're typically going at it too hard too fast and usually

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:18,000
in a spinning fashion that will look more kind of like this where all I did was turn

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
and now if I do a better one you will see rhythm wise.

00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000
There's a much later it feels like the downswing probably took in my mind felt like the

00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
downswing took twice as long in that second version compared to the first one.

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
That's just because in the first version I fired my arms really early with a big shoulder

00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
pull straight from the top.
