00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
In this drill video, we're going to go over the overview of the body movements for the

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
FNS Wedge swing.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
So there's three key pieces I like to look at when I'm looking at the movements of this

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
swing.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The first piece is going to be kind of controlling steepes in shallow.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000
So if you think about the setup video, the setup video we set up in a very steep position.

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
If I did nothing, you know, if I'm open, if I'm stacked, all those things that will cause

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
the clubs that come straight into the ground, right?

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Because my posture is very, very vertical.

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
So I need more of a shallow swing in order to balance that out.

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So there's a couple things that are going to, the major things that are going to be

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
shall are going to be your arm movements.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,000
So in the swing, we're going to let the arms rotate more kind of around the body with more

00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000
face rotation, and we're going to allow the wrist to kind of scoop on the way through,

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
which also helps shallow out the swing.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So key number one for the movements is having a shallow arm swing.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Key number two is going to be what we call energy moving towards the target.

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
My mentor, James Seekman, talks about this a lot.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:23,000
What I see on 3D is typically good wedge players during the backswing will have a shift

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
towards the target.

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Just like when we were doing that underhand toss, they shift towards the target during

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
the backswing, and then they either stop and kind of plant there, or they even keep going

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
there during the downswing.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
The thing you'll never see is they never go backward like so.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Because that creates in golf anyway, this kind of propelled club action, which tends to move

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
the bottom of the swing further back, and you'll tend to hit fat shots and have a lot of

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
clubhead speed.

00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So what they'll do is we'll go forward, forward like so, as opposed to in your full swing

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
going back, even back on the way down.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
And that back on the way down just creates so much power that you can't tend to control

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
it with your finesse wedge.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So we've got shallow arms, we've got energy moving towards the target, and then let's

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
talk about sequencing.

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
The big difference between the stock full swing and your finesse wedge swing is going to

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
be sequencing.

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Typically on these short shots, you're going to have the sequencing of this underhand

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
toss, which is basically going to be from the club to the ground as opposed to from the

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
ground to the club.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
So with the full swing, I get to the top of the swing, and my lower body starts moving,

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
then my core, then my shoulders, then my elbow, and finally my hands.

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
The opposite is going to happen in this finesse wedge swing.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
I'm going to get to the top of the swing, and my club is going to start moving first from

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
the wrist and from the elbow, and then finally that body is going to come through and

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
kind of catch and support it at the bottom.

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:09,000
So we'll go through the details of all of those key movements in the drills, but as an overview,

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
just focus on, we're going to let the arms rotate more.

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
We're going to make sure that the upper body goes towards the target.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
That's actually my first key.

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
And then the second key is the sequencing of letting the club cast or letting those arms

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
lead the transition.

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
So if you get that big picture and apply it to your own technique, it'll help you

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
with your consistency in contact with your finesse wedge swing.
