00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
In this concept video, we're going to talk about the overview of the finesse wing.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Now the finesse wing is essentially going to be your chip and your pitch around the

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
green.

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
And I'm going to differentiate what we're doing with kind of either the stock full swing,

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
which is we're trying to create power or the distance wedge, which is kind of in the

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
middle, or the finesse wedge, which is what we're talking about in this section, where

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I am intentionally trying to be weak in order to be accurate.

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
So the analogy that I like to give just to kind of create the big picture of what we're

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
trying to do is if we look at throwing.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
There's a variety of different ways that I could throw a ball, right?

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Well the stock full swing would be like if I'm trying to throw this thing as far as I can,

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000
and I'm basically loading up unloading, sequencing, trying to create power, all that

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
fun stuff.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
The finesse wedge would basically be if I were trying to toss a bean bag or toss a ball

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
for control just like so.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And it's often been described as, hey, my short game just feels kind of like I'm doing

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
an underhand toss.

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Well, there's a lot of truth in that.

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
So what I want to do in this video is just break down some of these key differences between

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,000
a powerful throw and a soft underhand toss throw.

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
So in the powerful throw you will see that there is a counter shift, right?

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
I shift my weight back in order to load up some muscles in my hips and my core as well

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
as to create somewhere for my weight to go during transition.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
So then during transition I'm going to step towards the target.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I'm going to sequence my body from the ground to my arm, creating leg all the way.

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And then at the last second I'm going to release my arm in hand in the direction of my

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
target.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Well, in the underhand toss, right?

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Kind of like this.

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
I'm not really going to have a weight shift because I'm not going to have a counter shift.

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
I'm not going to shift away from the target.

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
I'm pretty much as far away from it as I'm going to get.

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And then even during the backswing I'm going to be moving towards the target and then

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I'm going to have a gentle release from my hand.

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
I'm not really creating very much leg because what'll happen is my biggest stretch will

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
basically be at the top of the swing and then I'll close that stretch the entire time

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
that I'm going into that throwing motion.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Here's how that applies to golf.

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So if I were to take a stock full swing, you would see a slight little counter movement

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000
into the backswing followed by leg created from the lower body through the upper body.

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
During that transition my arms get in narrow and then I release everything during my

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
powerful release which you've studied in the stock full swing.

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000
In this short game area, in this finesse wedge swing section, basically what you'll see

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,000
is during the backswing my body is going to be moving towards the target just slightly

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
and I'm going to have a little bit of set from my wrist.

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Now I'm not going to have a big downcock movement but from the top of the swing I'm just

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
going to release those arms and hands while I continue to move in the direction of the target.

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
So we'll go through my favorite drills and some of the key details in the drills section

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
but that's kind of a big overhand or the big overview.

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Instead of trying to create power and throw in a wall, we're going to try and create control

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
like tossing a wall.

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
If you can do that, you can probably be pretty accurate at getting up and down around the

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,000
greens.
