WEBVTT
00:00:11.059 --> 00:00:15.289
all right coaches welcome to another
00:00:15.289 --> 00:00:18.300
coaches call here we've got some fun
00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:21.119
topics we're gonna cover if you have any
00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:23.699
questions while it's going on or if you
00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:25.380
have any comments go ahead and throw
00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:27.650
them in the chat I will check it out
00:00:27.650 --> 00:00:30.929
periodically so you know it's been a few
00:00:30.929 --> 00:00:33.719
weeks but this one should be fun the
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.440
topics we're gonna cover today are the
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:40.649
caste pattern so it was you know we did
00:00:40.649 --> 00:00:42.120
a little bit on the shoulder loading
00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:44.730
we're gonna look more at how you can see
00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:47.820
the caste pattern in 3d we'll talk about
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:52.649
the anatomy of the hip and then after
00:00:52.649 --> 00:00:54.690
that we will look at a couple swings
00:00:54.690 --> 00:00:56.370
that were submitted so that's always
00:00:56.370 --> 00:00:59.430
helpful and then a handful of coaches
00:00:59.430 --> 00:01:02.430
questions but if you have anything if
00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:04.439
you have any questions that pop up while
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.000
we're going through these discussions
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.460
then feel free to post them in the chat
00:01:10.460 --> 00:01:14.640
okay so jumping right in because usually
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.740
these kind of drag on there at the end
00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:20.189
we'll get started quickly what is a
00:01:20.189 --> 00:01:25.530
caste so a lot of people I believe put
00:01:25.530 --> 00:01:27.960
caste and over-the-top in the same
00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:31.770
category or caste an upper body swing in
00:01:31.770 --> 00:01:34.500
the same category the way I look at a
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:39.570
caste is I look at it more of a energy
00:01:39.570 --> 00:01:44.310
transfer so typically the the maximum
00:01:44.310 --> 00:01:47.729
stretch would happen closer to the top
00:01:47.729 --> 00:01:49.590
of the swing rather than on the
00:01:49.590 --> 00:01:50.159
downswing
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.820
so I brought up this slide in the first
00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:57.509
webinar basically looking at how muscles
00:01:57.509 --> 00:01:59.399
could be loaded and how you can see that
00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:03.990
on the kinematics sequence so when it's
00:02:03.990 --> 00:02:07.350
stretching this means that I'm loading
00:02:07.350 --> 00:02:09.810
it more during the downswing when it's
00:02:09.810 --> 00:02:12.030
riding the stretch that I created at the
00:02:12.030 --> 00:02:13.090
top of the swing is being
00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:15.640
maintained and then when it's fanning
00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:19.360
the stretch that I created at the top of
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.569
the swing is being decreased as I
00:02:22.569 --> 00:02:26.230
started down so typically cast pattern
00:02:26.230 --> 00:02:28.750
is more of a Fanning pattern now you can
00:02:28.750 --> 00:02:31.269
do that from an inside out path you can
00:02:31.269 --> 00:02:34.030
do that from the out path and you could
00:02:34.030 --> 00:02:36.430
essentially you could cast more from
00:02:36.430 --> 00:02:39.280
casting the core you could cast from the
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.260
shoulders you could cast from the arms
00:02:41.260 --> 00:02:45.099
so typically when I'm looking at 3d I'm
00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:48.670
thinking of it more from the is it a
00:02:48.670 --> 00:02:51.190
cast from the body or is it a cast from
00:02:51.190 --> 00:02:53.829
the arms I'm basically looking at what
00:02:53.829 --> 00:02:59.230
structures are releasing their stretch
00:02:59.230 --> 00:03:01.989
that we created the top of swing soon so
00:03:01.989 --> 00:03:04.720
simple definition would be when is the
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:06.489
maximum stretch is the maximum stretch
00:03:06.489 --> 00:03:08.200
at the top of the swing or during the
00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:08.680
downswing
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.230
in a cast pattern the maximum stretch is
00:03:11.230 --> 00:03:14.560
more at the top of the swing okay now
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.260
let's jump into some 3d graphs so a
00:03:17.260 --> 00:03:20.380
number of these graphs hopefully you're
00:03:20.380 --> 00:03:22.260
somewhat familiar with at this point
00:03:22.260 --> 00:03:25.569
we've got the kinematic sequence which
00:03:25.569 --> 00:03:27.160
is where we'll be able to see some of
00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:29.709
the details of the cast but then when we
00:03:29.709 --> 00:03:32.380
break it down into the arms usually the
00:03:32.380 --> 00:03:35.590
key ones I'm gonna look for our lead
00:03:35.590 --> 00:03:38.010
shoulder angle can happen occasionally
00:03:38.010 --> 00:03:41.170
so I included up there elbow extension
00:03:41.170 --> 00:03:43.950
is a very common one so elbow extension
00:03:43.950 --> 00:03:48.099
this graph is looking at the amount of
00:03:48.099 --> 00:03:52.930
Bend in the arms so the right arm is the
00:03:52.930 --> 00:03:55.959
or sorry the red line is the right arm
00:03:55.959 --> 00:03:59.549
and the green line is the left arm and
00:03:59.549 --> 00:04:02.319
basically what we'll see this pattern
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.250
this golfer doesn't have a very dramatic
00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:08.019
cast just kind of a subtle which we'll
00:04:08.019 --> 00:04:11.019
see but the cast is not happening from
00:04:11.019 --> 00:04:13.060
the trail elbow which is a common time
00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:16.989
because we can see the the as the line
00:04:16.989 --> 00:04:19.570
goes down that trail elbow is bending
00:04:19.570 --> 00:04:21.609
and as it gets to the top of the swing
00:04:21.609 --> 00:04:23.680
you'll see that that trail elbow bends a
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.470
little bit more so going back to our
00:04:26.470 --> 00:04:28.990
initial definition the stretch is
00:04:28.990 --> 00:04:30.940
reaching its maximum during the
00:04:30.940 --> 00:04:31.470
downswing
00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:37.090
now if we looked at the lead wrist most
00:04:37.090 --> 00:04:41.050
golfers would look at the red line which
00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:43.630
is the ulnar and radial deviation or the
00:04:43.630 --> 00:04:45.910
hinge and the unhinge and think that
00:04:45.910 --> 00:04:48.160
that has a big impact on the cat's
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.820
pattern and I'll show you hopefully an
00:04:51.820 --> 00:04:54.310
example where that is actually
00:04:54.310 --> 00:04:56.080
decreasing but it still has a cast so
00:04:56.080 --> 00:04:58.750
you can hinge it or unhinge it and that
00:04:58.750 --> 00:05:00.370
has very little bearing on what you're
00:05:00.370 --> 00:05:04.150
gonna see with the cast pattern the from
00:05:04.150 --> 00:05:06.040
the arms perspective the two that will
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.830
have the biggest impact are the trail
00:05:08.830 --> 00:05:12.100
elbow bending straightening or the trail
00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:15.700
wrist flexing extending so this golfer
00:05:15.700 --> 00:05:17.920
is actually having more of a cast
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.580
pattern from the trail wrist where you
00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:25.660
can see the green line here is reaching
00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:28.300
its maximum stretch well before the top
00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:30.160
of the swing and then it slowly starts
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.560
though to lose its extension before it
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.750
reaches the top of the swing and so
00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:40.510
that's where you could potentially see
00:05:40.510 --> 00:05:43.390
the blue line staying below the brown
00:05:43.390 --> 00:05:46.419
line but he does a good job with that
00:05:46.419 --> 00:05:48.760
red line over here he does a good job
00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:52.270
with the trail elbow load so it shows up
00:05:52.270 --> 00:05:53.950
more is just kind of a riding pattern
00:05:53.950 --> 00:05:58.540
not a big fan of a turn okay next one
00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:01.300
we'll look at so we're gonna scan those
00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:04.360
numbers we can we can see on here the
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.880
disc golfer has the if we look at the
00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:08.290
blue compared to the brown there's a
00:06:08.290 --> 00:06:12.490
little bit more of a loading pattern and
00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:15.669
so here we'll see a some of the increase
00:06:15.669 --> 00:06:19.660
has happened from the trail elbow some
00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:21.640
of the increase has happened from a
00:06:21.640 --> 00:06:25.480
little bit of increased hinge so that
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.200
red line over here and then he's pretty
00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:31.630
much maintained or he has a little blip
00:06:31.630 --> 00:06:34.800
in extension where it gets a little bit
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.660
increased as you start
00:06:36.660 --> 00:06:38.010
the downswing but it's not very dramatic
00:06:38.010 --> 00:06:40.800
the two big areas where he's creating
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.300
some downswing load are in the elbows
00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:43.650
and he's actually doing it in both
00:06:43.650 --> 00:06:47.460
elbows so you can see the left elbow is
00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:50.370
bending here during transition and he's
00:06:50.370 --> 00:06:54.420
increasing the amount of radial
00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:57.060
deviation he's loading the arm across
00:06:57.060 --> 00:06:59.490
the shoulder all of those are across the
00:06:59.490 --> 00:07:03.000
chest all those will show up as the lag
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:09.570
or more of a loading pattern okay we've
00:07:09.570 --> 00:07:13.080
got one more anonymous Pro but you can
00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:16.130
see that this golfer is left-handed
00:07:16.130 --> 00:07:19.260
that's the only a little clue you get in
00:07:19.260 --> 00:07:21.540
this golfer you can see that the there's
00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:23.940
a little bit of blue above the brown but
00:07:23.940 --> 00:07:26.040
for the most part the brown is above the
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.890
blue for most of the downswing so this
00:07:28.890 --> 00:07:30.780
is a golfer who's known to have a really
00:07:30.780 --> 00:07:34.580
good wedge play but not necessarily
00:07:34.580 --> 00:07:37.860
greatest ball striking definitely not a
00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:41.600
long hitter so even though we see a
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.120
little bit of more of a cast pattern
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.790
especially mid to late downswing if we
00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:49.920
scan the graphs we can try to decode why
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.550
so little increase here of the trail
00:07:53.550 --> 00:07:55.500
wrist we'll see some some bigger ones
00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:57.210
that will help you understand why I say
00:07:57.210 --> 00:08:01.680
that's a little I'd say for for a more
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.080
like powerful down swing the average is
00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:05.760
somewhere around 10 degree increase
00:08:05.760 --> 00:08:07.940
between the top of the swing and the max
00:08:07.940 --> 00:08:11.000
but more of a cast pattern will have it
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.080
loaded to the max at the top of the
00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:15.600
swing now over here he actually has a
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:19.200
pretty sizable increase in that lead
00:08:19.200 --> 00:08:21.810
wrist so he's increasing the hinge he's
00:08:21.810 --> 00:08:25.110
cocking his wrist his left wrist during
00:08:25.110 --> 00:08:30.660
the down swing but he's flexing the
00:08:30.660 --> 00:08:33.150
trail wrist and if we look at the elbows
00:08:33.150 --> 00:08:35.370
that's a bigger indicator for me he's
00:08:35.370 --> 00:08:41.250
losing the the flex in his elbows pretty
00:08:41.250 --> 00:08:43.140
much straight away from the top of the
00:08:43.140 --> 00:08:45.020
swing so he reaches his maximum stretch
00:08:45.020 --> 00:08:47.790
right around there and he reaches the
00:08:47.790 --> 00:08:49.530
maximum shoulder stretch right around
00:08:49.530 --> 00:08:49.750
the
00:08:49.750 --> 00:08:52.960
top of this wing so no load of the
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.120
triceps during the downswing no load of
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.840
the shoulders little load of the hinge
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.930
on hinge of the left wrist that creates
00:09:01.930 --> 00:09:06.250
more of a cast pattern so all those key
00:09:06.250 --> 00:09:09.720
areas where he's not loading
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:19.110
okay one more anonymous Pro this one has
00:09:19.110 --> 00:09:22.870
this one has kind of more of a look of a
00:09:22.870 --> 00:09:26.800
really massive damn so you know
00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:29.410
kind of think more like a Ben Hogan or
00:09:29.410 --> 00:09:32.290
like a Charles Howell type where you're
00:09:32.290 --> 00:09:36.150
seeing a really massive hinging or
00:09:36.150 --> 00:09:38.380
increase in that angle from the face on
00:09:38.380 --> 00:09:41.080
camera view now we'll see that his do
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:42.760
happen primarily from the wrist he has a
00:09:42.760 --> 00:09:44.110
little bit of increase here from the
00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:49.780
shoulder he has more of a cast pattern
00:09:49.780 --> 00:09:52.180
from the elbow so the triceps aren't
00:09:52.180 --> 00:09:55.089
really getting loaded but if we look at
00:09:55.089 --> 00:09:56.980
that trail wrist at the top of the swing
00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:59.470
he's got thirty five degrees of
00:09:59.470 --> 00:10:01.450
extension and then midway into the
00:10:01.450 --> 00:10:04.030
downswing he's got seventy so he
00:10:04.030 --> 00:10:07.030
increases the trail wrist extension or
00:10:07.030 --> 00:10:09.610
this would be the throwers catch on the
00:10:09.610 --> 00:10:13.750
website he increases that almost double
00:10:13.750 --> 00:10:16.690
almost thirty degrees during the
00:10:16.690 --> 00:10:20.110
downswing and then the left wrist you
00:10:20.110 --> 00:10:22.630
will see a tiny bit you know more than
00:10:22.630 --> 00:10:24.910
the other guys but probably about five
00:10:24.910 --> 00:10:28.210
six degrees of increased hinge so if
00:10:28.210 --> 00:10:30.520
you're looking at the cast pattern is
00:10:30.520 --> 00:10:33.700
rarely going to be trying to get any
00:10:33.700 --> 00:10:37.480
increase in the radial ulnar it's more
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.330
about either getting the trail wrist to
00:10:40.330 --> 00:10:43.870
extend getting the lead arm to pin
00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:46.830
across the chest or getting the lead
00:10:46.830 --> 00:10:50.170
elbow or started the trail elbow to Bend
00:10:50.170 --> 00:10:52.839
more in transition so the next golfer
00:10:52.839 --> 00:10:55.300
has a little bit of all those this is
00:10:55.300 --> 00:10:57.370
grant Waite as I've said he's he's got
00:10:57.370 --> 00:11:00.400
no problem with any of us using his data
00:11:00.400 --> 00:11:03.310
in presentations so you'll see he's
00:11:03.310 --> 00:11:05.140
kind of you know everyone knows what his
00:11:05.140 --> 00:11:07.840
swing looks like fairly classic you know
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.220
just good solid movements and you'll see
00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:16.750
he has an increase in the trail elbow so
00:11:16.750 --> 00:11:19.150
he's bending that trail elbow more so
00:11:19.150 --> 00:11:21.880
he's loading that tricep he's got a
00:11:21.880 --> 00:11:23.320
little bit of an increase across the
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:24.970
shoulder so he's loading that left
00:11:24.970 --> 00:11:27.580
shoulder he's got a pretty good so he's
00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:30.839
more in that ten degree range increase
00:11:30.839 --> 00:11:35.950
in trail wrist extension and then as far
00:11:35.950 --> 00:11:37.870
as radial and ulnar that one's pretty
00:11:37.870 --> 00:11:39.250
flat but you'll see that the blue line
00:11:39.250 --> 00:11:42.220
is above the brown line fairly
00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:45.160
significantly in for a long period
00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:47.680
during the downswing if you're not used
00:11:47.680 --> 00:11:49.570
to seeing these especially you know I
00:11:49.570 --> 00:11:51.610
tried to cram a bunch on the screen so
00:11:51.610 --> 00:11:53.200
if you're not used to seeing these it'll
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.900
look much more dramatic or the
00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:58.510
difference will look more dramatic when
00:11:58.510 --> 00:12:02.230
you compare them to amateurs so the next
00:12:02.230 --> 00:12:04.570
we'll look at two high handicap golfers
00:12:04.570 --> 00:12:08.050
who have a really big cast pattern so
00:12:08.050 --> 00:12:11.890
here you can see the brown line above
00:12:11.890 --> 00:12:15.940
the blue line all the way from the start
00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:19.150
of the downswing so now we can take a
00:12:19.150 --> 00:12:22.000
look at the different areas to figure
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.480
out why why would the club head or the
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.250
shaft be moving much faster than the
00:12:27.250 --> 00:12:29.620
lead upper arm well if we look at those
00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:31.750
elbows that's a really steep
00:12:31.750 --> 00:12:34.300
acceleration quickly before he changes
00:12:34.300 --> 00:12:36.040
direction so if we took him up to the
00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:37.839
top of the swing you'd see a really big
00:12:37.839 --> 00:12:39.850
throwing pattern or straightening of the
00:12:39.850 --> 00:12:43.870
arms so that's where his the primary
00:12:43.870 --> 00:12:46.780
driver of his cast pattern is because
00:12:46.780 --> 00:12:49.110
you'll see he actually increases so he
00:12:49.110 --> 00:12:52.240
hinges that lead wrist more than say
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.900
grant weight but because of what's going
00:12:55.900 --> 00:12:57.760
out and the arms the kinematic sequence
00:12:57.760 --> 00:12:59.650
is going to show more of the cat pattern
00:12:59.650 --> 00:13:02.110
and then from the trail wrist you can
00:13:02.110 --> 00:13:05.110
see wow he only gets 40 degrees of
00:13:05.110 --> 00:13:07.690
extension and he just kind of flatlines
00:13:07.690 --> 00:13:09.670
he doesn't really increase it during the
00:13:09.670 --> 00:13:10.320
downswing
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.600
you can see if we go a little further we
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:14.900
could see that it's cross
00:13:14.900 --> 00:13:17.080
impact pretty close to where he started
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.000
that's that's a lot of right arm throw
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.550
but his main source of the right arm
00:13:22.550 --> 00:13:24.680
throw is coming more from the triceps
00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:28.339
and the arms or the shoulders rather
00:13:28.339 --> 00:13:33.320
than from the wrists now here's a golfer
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.000
who's equally throwing from the
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.800
shoulders and arms as he is from the
00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:41.930
wrists so we can see there's a really
00:13:41.930 --> 00:13:44.510
big gap between the two club head is
00:13:44.510 --> 00:13:46.339
moving definitely the fastest this is a
00:13:46.339 --> 00:13:50.000
higher handicap slicer and you will see
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.680
he does have a little bit of more of a
00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:54.230
throwing motion of that lead wrist as
00:13:54.230 --> 00:13:57.230
well but not as dramatic as the trail
00:13:57.230 --> 00:14:00.470
wrist in fact he has more flex at impact
00:14:00.470 --> 00:14:03.800
more flex of that trail wrist then he
00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:07.910
had at setup which is quite rare this
00:14:07.910 --> 00:14:15.290
would be a very backward so I see the
00:14:15.290 --> 00:14:17.600
question from Edie um unfortunately I'm
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.339
running this in PowerPoint so this is
00:14:19.339 --> 00:14:22.580
not actually like I can't actually move
00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:24.560
this around if I if I go to click on
00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:27.350
play it'll just show up the problem is I
00:14:27.350 --> 00:14:31.120
can't I can't do it live without
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.800
revealing the names and some of the
00:14:33.800 --> 00:14:36.370
golfers I'm not allowed to share so I
00:14:36.370 --> 00:14:42.140
could do live with possibly some of the
00:14:42.140 --> 00:14:46.310
or one of the amateurs but I would also
00:14:46.310 --> 00:14:49.190
have to set up the streaming service to
00:14:49.190 --> 00:14:51.440
be able to find that window which would
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:59.000
take a little bit so what's I think what
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:04.430
the what could be better is next time
00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:07.670
I'll run it live for one of the amateurs
00:15:07.670 --> 00:15:09.680
but like I said we won't be able to look
00:15:09.680 --> 00:15:12.260
at any of the pros or possibly grant
00:15:12.260 --> 00:15:15.050
wait but I'll see if I can figure that
00:15:15.050 --> 00:15:18.020
out for the next pattern I think it
00:15:18.020 --> 00:15:20.510
should be easy enough or the next
00:15:20.510 --> 00:15:22.050
webinar
00:15:22.050 --> 00:15:25.810
okay but back to him you can see the the
00:15:25.810 --> 00:15:28.569
common pattern so basically what I want
00:15:28.569 --> 00:15:31.779
you to know going away from this is if
00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:34.899
you're seeing the throwing motion if
00:15:34.899 --> 00:15:36.490
you're seeing more of the arm
00:15:36.490 --> 00:15:39.279
straightening from the top of the swing
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.009
or if you're seeing what looks like a
00:15:42.009 --> 00:15:44.230
cast it's not a hinging it's definitely
00:15:44.230 --> 00:15:49.509
not increasing the lead wrist like you
00:15:49.509 --> 00:15:51.459
know hinging a hammer or the radial
00:15:51.459 --> 00:15:54.190
deviation from the arm perspective it's
00:15:54.190 --> 00:15:55.870
more about the timing of the arms
00:15:55.870 --> 00:15:57.880
bending which usually comes from having
00:15:57.880 --> 00:16:00.819
some better arm relaxation and reaching
00:16:00.819 --> 00:16:05.170
a near maximum wrist extension during
00:16:05.170 --> 00:16:08.350
the downswing and you saw how late if we
00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:09.880
go back to some of these guys you can
00:16:09.880 --> 00:16:13.810
see how late they are reaching that
00:16:13.810 --> 00:16:17.319
maximum wrist extension especially the
00:16:17.319 --> 00:16:20.680
longer hitters that's probably just
00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:26.130
below parallel or close to parallel so
00:16:26.130 --> 00:16:30.279
one thing that you will see and I cover
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.939
this in my world golf fitness summit
00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:38.680
talk is that there's a difference
00:16:38.680 --> 00:16:42.759
usually a shuttle subtle shift in the
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.420
cast pattern from the body's perspective
00:16:46.420 --> 00:16:48.310
when you look at a tour pro swinging
00:16:48.310 --> 00:16:50.889
their driver compared to swinging a
00:16:50.889 --> 00:16:52.329
short iron so this is the difference
00:16:52.329 --> 00:16:54.370
between swinging for this tour pro
00:16:54.370 --> 00:16:56.470
swinging his driver and swinging his a
00:16:56.470 --> 00:17:00.639
59 degree wedge and you'll see the blued
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.850
Brown maintains a similar relationship
00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:07.089
so he's doing similar arm motions but
00:17:07.089 --> 00:17:09.309
you'll see that the body has gotten a
00:17:09.309 --> 00:17:13.030
lot slower with the wedge compared to
00:17:13.030 --> 00:17:16.470
the full swing so if you have a golfer
00:17:16.470 --> 00:17:20.890
who has kind of more of this Fanning or
00:17:20.890 --> 00:17:22.659
cast pattern and they say they're really
00:17:22.659 --> 00:17:25.150
good with their wedges be prepared that
00:17:25.150 --> 00:17:27.610
as you improve their full swing there is
00:17:27.610 --> 00:17:29.200
a chance they'll start struggling a
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.510
little bit with the shorter clubs
00:17:31.510 --> 00:17:35.230
so here's I wanted to show grant wait
00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:37.270
he's a interesting example if you look
00:17:37.270 --> 00:17:40.240
at his proximity and stats with his
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.160
wedges they're not nearly as good as his
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.540
full swing and I think part of that if
00:17:46.540 --> 00:17:49.360
you were to look at these two kinematic
00:17:49.360 --> 00:17:52.480
sequences is you'll see he he adopts
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:57.580
more of a basically kind of one gear one
00:17:57.580 --> 00:18:01.179
pattern for both of his full swing as
00:18:01.179 --> 00:18:06.370
well as the wedge swing so with a driver
00:18:06.370 --> 00:18:08.770
you'll see a little bit more Bend here
00:18:08.770 --> 00:18:11.080
and a little bit increased wrist
00:18:11.080 --> 00:18:14.590
extension they're still flatlining with
00:18:14.590 --> 00:18:18.549
the wrists with the change there and
00:18:18.549 --> 00:18:22.030
then you'll see a little bit less of a
00:18:22.030 --> 00:18:24.460
downswing load of the arms but overall
00:18:24.460 --> 00:18:26.200
pretty similar pattern
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.429
now here's a golfer who I think is a
00:18:30.429 --> 00:18:31.230
little better
00:18:31.230 --> 00:18:33.400
statistically even though his kinematic
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.220
sequence looks like it's not quite as
00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:39.220
clean if we just look at the kinematic
00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:40.390
sequence you'll see there's a pretty
00:18:40.390 --> 00:18:43.360
good shift between what his lower body
00:18:43.360 --> 00:18:47.140
does and what his core does so the red
00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:50.679
line and the Green Line with the full
00:18:50.679 --> 00:18:53.080
swing the lower body leads quite a bit
00:18:53.080 --> 00:18:57.190
with the 9-iron here you'll see it's a
00:18:57.190 --> 00:19:02.140
little bit more in sync and then but if
00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:03.940
you look at the blue and the brown lines
00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:07.120
you'll see that the the arm motions the
00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:09.809
wrist release tend to be a little bit
00:19:09.809 --> 00:19:13.419
closer than the body pattern and so
00:19:13.419 --> 00:19:15.240
that's why you'll tend to see I build
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.860
more of the release drills or kind of
00:19:17.860 --> 00:19:20.559
like you know you do this with
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.510
everything and then there are a number
00:19:22.510 --> 00:19:24.580
of different pivot drills that identify
00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:26.740
some of the differences between the
00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:32.470
driver and iron in fact in this one
00:19:32.470 --> 00:19:36.280
golfers case if you if you look at his
00:19:36.280 --> 00:19:39.309
loading of his wrists there's actually a
00:19:39.309 --> 00:19:42.220
little sharper loading during the
00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:43.350
downswing
00:19:43.350 --> 00:19:47.010
his right wrist compared to his driver
00:19:47.010 --> 00:19:50.370
swing so he's getting a little bit more
00:19:50.370 --> 00:19:52.860
of that speed contribution from getting
00:19:52.860 --> 00:19:55.110
more extension of the wrist and that
00:19:55.110 --> 00:19:57.929
could contribute to his low point
00:19:57.929 --> 00:20:03.240
control as well okay other than asking
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.850
if I can run the animations are there
00:20:05.850 --> 00:20:10.530
any questions related to these these 3d
00:20:10.530 --> 00:20:14.070
graphs so the quick summary is cast
00:20:14.070 --> 00:20:15.929
pattern is when you reach the maximum
00:20:15.929 --> 00:20:17.700
stretch at the top of the swing as
00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:19.860
opposed to the downswing key areas to
00:20:19.860 --> 00:20:21.900
look at are the extension of the trail
00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:24.630
wrist and then the straightening of the
00:20:24.630 --> 00:20:27.840
elbows and then the kind of tear to
00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:32.010
would be looking at the lead wrist ulnar
00:20:32.010 --> 00:20:33.780
and radial and then looking at the lead
00:20:33.780 --> 00:20:37.080
shoulder angle this one is rare but
00:20:37.080 --> 00:20:40.380
sometimes can be a key component the
00:20:40.380 --> 00:20:43.320
more common ones are the the triceps or
00:20:43.320 --> 00:20:45.900
the elbow straightening and the trail
00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:47.640
wrist extension is the biggest
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.799
contribution to the cast pattern in my
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:52.070
opinion
00:20:56.710 --> 00:21:06.190
okay so moving on the hip the hip is
00:21:06.190 --> 00:21:14.090
just grab a swig of water okay the hip
00:21:14.090 --> 00:21:17.540
is actually one of the simplest joints
00:21:17.540 --> 00:21:20.630
which you would think because it has so
00:21:20.630 --> 00:21:22.670
many degrees of freedom or so much range
00:21:22.670 --> 00:21:23.690
of motion that it's one of the more
00:21:23.690 --> 00:21:26.120
complicated joints but it's a ball and
00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:28.330
socket so we can basically move in
00:21:28.330 --> 00:21:31.670
almost any direction as long as it's not
00:21:31.670 --> 00:21:34.580
restricted by bone or super stiff
00:21:34.580 --> 00:21:38.480
muscles so the common descriptions of
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.900
the movements would be extension which
00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:46.970
this somewhere around 10 degrees 20
00:21:46.970 --> 00:21:49.930
degrees I'll show you that one other
00:21:49.930 --> 00:21:54.170
little animation has 30 degrees but the
00:21:54.170 --> 00:21:55.640
most common one I've seen is about 10
00:21:55.640 --> 00:22:00.860
degrees of hip extension about 130
00:22:00.860 --> 00:22:04.100
degrees of hip flexion so basically the
00:22:04.100 --> 00:22:06.560
ability to put your thigh up against
00:22:06.560 --> 00:22:11.060
your your abs and then adduction is
00:22:11.060 --> 00:22:13.070
usually somewhere around 30 to 45
00:22:13.070 --> 00:22:17.330
degrees typically when you see people do
00:22:17.330 --> 00:22:19.790
the splits it's not that they're getting
00:22:19.790 --> 00:22:22.180
their hips all the way to 90 degree
00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:24.950
adduction they're doing a combination of
00:22:24.950 --> 00:22:29.090
adduction and then internal and external
00:22:29.090 --> 00:22:32.470
rotation typically around 40 degrees
00:22:32.470 --> 00:22:37.820
both directions ideally you want
00:22:37.820 --> 00:22:40.130
especially for golf we want to maintain
00:22:40.130 --> 00:22:42.290
as much of the internal rotation as we
00:22:42.290 --> 00:22:46.460
can if you were to have one predictor of
00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:48.980
whether someone is going to need a hip
00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:50.840
replacement it doesn't have to do with
00:22:50.840 --> 00:22:52.790
the amount of pain it has more to do
00:22:52.790 --> 00:22:56.890
with the lost internal rotation so
00:22:56.890 --> 00:22:59.930
stretch some of the deep-six which we'll
00:22:59.930 --> 00:23:02.770
talk about here
00:23:03.929 --> 00:23:08.429
okay so then here's again just another
00:23:08.429 --> 00:23:11.889
you'll see that when you look in
00:23:11.889 --> 00:23:13.509
different books or you look on different
00:23:13.509 --> 00:23:15.519
websites they'll have slightly different
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.700
ranges so it's not important that you
00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:22.779
get a specific amount it's more kind of
00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:25.899
the quality of movement and the the
00:23:25.899 --> 00:23:28.659
ballpark and put it that way now the
00:23:28.659 --> 00:23:30.249
important thing with the hip because
00:23:30.249 --> 00:23:33.610
that really is it's a simple joint and
00:23:33.610 --> 00:23:36.700
one one rule that I heard was the the
00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:38.559
easier it is to do a joint replacement
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.470
the easier or the cent more simple that
00:23:41.470 --> 00:23:44.019
joint is so like that's why shoulders
00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:45.490
are more complicated for joint
00:23:45.490 --> 00:23:49.179
replacement hands or and feet are very
00:23:49.179 --> 00:23:51.039
complicated for joint replacement but
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:54.190
the hip is really simple because it's a
00:23:54.190 --> 00:23:58.720
it's quite simple joint but the hip has
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:01.119
a big relationship between what's going
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.009
on with the pelvis and what's going on
00:24:03.009 --> 00:24:05.580
with the lumbar spine so it's actually
00:24:05.580 --> 00:24:07.690
typically referred to as the
00:24:07.690 --> 00:24:11.769
lumbo-pelvic femoral complex so lumbar
00:24:11.769 --> 00:24:15.460
spine pelvic femoral bone that whole
00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:18.490
complex moves together and one of the
00:24:18.490 --> 00:24:21.309
things that you want to do as a golf
00:24:21.309 --> 00:24:23.740
instructor is you want to be able to see
00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:27.220
is the movement happening more from the
00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:29.799
hip or is the movement happening more
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:34.149
from the spine so in this particular
00:24:34.149 --> 00:24:36.610
example this slide I took from a gait
00:24:36.610 --> 00:24:42.639
presentation but if I one of the one of
00:24:42.639 --> 00:24:44.679
the drills that all you usually have
00:24:44.679 --> 00:24:47.590
golfers do in the warm-up is a leg swing
00:24:47.590 --> 00:24:49.960
and part of the reason I'll have them do
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.600
that is I'll say when you do this leg
00:24:52.600 --> 00:24:54.940
swing I want you to try to keep your abs
00:24:54.940 --> 00:24:57.999
on so that your your spines not going a
00:24:57.999 --> 00:24:59.679
whole lot like this right so I'll say
00:24:59.679 --> 00:25:01.869
States all keep your spine pretty slow
00:25:01.869 --> 00:25:04.749
and you're just gonna swing the leg back
00:25:04.749 --> 00:25:05.370
and forth
00:25:05.370 --> 00:25:07.500
and there'll be some movement but what
00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:09.930
you'll see is some golfers will do more
00:25:09.930 --> 00:25:12.510
of the movement like this where I wasn't
00:25:12.510 --> 00:25:14.910
even really moving my hip I was just
00:25:14.910 --> 00:25:17.310
moving my spine and other golfers will
00:25:17.310 --> 00:25:19.410
move it quite well and I'll do that
00:25:19.410 --> 00:25:23.130
forward into the side so that I can see
00:25:23.130 --> 00:25:25.980
like are they doing it more from the
00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:28.470
spine or can they actually disassociate
00:25:28.470 --> 00:25:31.560
and move it more from the hip you can
00:25:31.560 --> 00:25:36.270
also do rotation and that can be quite
00:25:36.270 --> 00:25:37.230
helpful as well
00:25:37.230 --> 00:25:41.700
once you've because you're gonna have a
00:25:41.700 --> 00:25:45.810
hard time on the lesson tee making big
00:25:45.810 --> 00:25:48.420
changes to their their amount of
00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:49.830
movement their flexibility but you can
00:25:49.830 --> 00:25:52.770
you can make pretty good changes to the
00:25:52.770 --> 00:25:54.920
quality of the movement by helping them
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:59.400
more from an educational process so when
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.370
we jump back here you could see when I
00:26:02.370 --> 00:26:04.770
was doing that this was moving a little
00:26:04.770 --> 00:26:06.840
bit but my goal was to keep that pretty
00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:08.880
much level and get all the swinging
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:13.770
movement happening from the hip you can
00:26:13.770 --> 00:26:17.280
see here there's what's going to be more
00:26:17.280 --> 00:26:18.830
important is we're gonna go over the
00:26:18.830 --> 00:26:21.450
muscles associated with this area and
00:26:21.450 --> 00:26:25.710
how they relate to each other so the key
00:26:25.710 --> 00:26:31.020
here is this pelvic tilt you you could
00:26:31.020 --> 00:26:33.330
see them faking it and doing more of the
00:26:33.330 --> 00:26:35.070
movement from the lumbar spine you could
00:26:35.070 --> 00:26:37.020
see them faking it and doing more the
00:26:37.020 --> 00:26:39.360
movement down from the knees but ideally
00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:42.360
this movement is happening at rotating
00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:45.210
around the hip joint with the pelvis and
00:26:45.210 --> 00:26:49.200
the lumbar spine accommodating or
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:50.760
responding to the movement not
00:26:50.760 --> 00:26:53.760
necessarily driving it ideally this
00:26:53.760 --> 00:26:56.820
movement is driven more from the glutes
00:26:56.820 --> 00:27:02.040
whoops and the lower abs not so much
00:27:02.040 --> 00:27:07.230
from the quads or the lower back or I
00:27:07.230 --> 00:27:13.080
would say even the hamstrings so again
00:27:13.080 --> 00:27:16.260
our goal in this is if you haven't
00:27:16.260 --> 00:27:17.850
thought about it being able to visualize
00:27:17.850 --> 00:27:18.550
some of these
00:27:18.550 --> 00:27:20.470
relationships a little bit better to
00:27:20.470 --> 00:27:24.550
help your Anatomy studies now the other
00:27:24.550 --> 00:27:26.770
component is what happens to the lower
00:27:26.770 --> 00:27:28.510
leg which we talked about a little bit
00:27:28.510 --> 00:27:30.210
in the foot
00:27:30.210 --> 00:27:33.270
discussion in one of the other webinars
00:27:33.270 --> 00:27:36.280
when the pelvis tilts forward typically
00:27:36.280 --> 00:27:39.010
the hip will rotate in the leg will
00:27:39.010 --> 00:27:42.190
rotate in the knee will move in and the
00:27:42.190 --> 00:27:45.790
foot will pronate so one of the things
00:27:45.790 --> 00:27:47.140
that you have to be careful is some
00:27:47.140 --> 00:27:49.000
golfers will come in and tell you that
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.340
they have a leg length issue or
00:27:51.340 --> 00:27:53.290
something like that and if the pelvis is
00:27:53.290 --> 00:27:56.440
out of order then that can create an
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.310
apparent leg length issue and so with
00:28:00.310 --> 00:28:02.430
the leg length issue they might have
00:28:02.430 --> 00:28:05.200
problems shifting weight they might have
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:07.780
problems they'll typically stay more
00:28:07.780 --> 00:28:11.470
over the short leg so when this is
00:28:11.470 --> 00:28:14.200
rotated forward they'll stay more on to
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:16.690
this pronated foot rather than wanting
00:28:16.690 --> 00:28:20.710
to shift into the longer leg it's almost
00:28:20.710 --> 00:28:23.830
like walking uphill so that can
00:28:23.830 --> 00:28:25.300
influence your low point that can
00:28:25.300 --> 00:28:26.710
influence your path that can influence
00:28:26.710 --> 00:28:28.990
your speed generation and it could all
00:28:28.990 --> 00:28:31.300
be driven from what's going on with
00:28:31.300 --> 00:28:33.900
these muscles in the hip I do think that
00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:37.990
like later this afternoon I'm going over
00:28:37.990 --> 00:28:41.080
to the gym to help out one of our
00:28:41.080 --> 00:28:43.780
students who's got some back pain and
00:28:43.780 --> 00:28:46.000
we're gonna be doing a bunch of hip
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.430
related stretches and activation
00:28:48.430 --> 00:28:53.160
exercises so this is one area where you
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.760
can do a lot of good just from 10-15
00:28:57.760 --> 00:28:59.890
minutes of stretching as long as it's
00:28:59.890 --> 00:29:03.130
good quality stretch now as you're
00:29:03.130 --> 00:29:05.440
starting to see there's some important
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:09.790
but detailed relationships I try like I
00:29:09.790 --> 00:29:13.990
know that some people love to preach
00:29:13.990 --> 00:29:16.950
this whole stability and mobility
00:29:16.950 --> 00:29:23.380
alternating pattern the mobile stable
00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:27.730
model of the body but I think it's the
00:29:27.730 --> 00:29:30.700
problem is that's fine for showing your
00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.880
client that's fine
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:35.750
for like describing hey we need to do
00:29:35.750 --> 00:29:37.100
some stretching of the hips and we need
00:29:37.100 --> 00:29:40.160
to do some strengthening of the ABS but
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:43.520
I've I've heard prep like trainers and
00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:46.070
practitioners talking to each other in
00:29:46.070 --> 00:29:47.840
this language I think it's way too
00:29:47.840 --> 00:29:50.210
simplified for how the body actually
00:29:50.210 --> 00:29:53.780
works because what we just saw with
00:29:53.780 --> 00:29:56.030
those relationships is what's happening
00:29:56.030 --> 00:29:58.340
at the hip is influencing the lumbar
00:29:58.340 --> 00:30:00.470
spine so just saying that this area
00:30:00.470 --> 00:30:05.390
needs to be stable this whole area like
00:30:05.390 --> 00:30:07.700
the the pelvis the lower back the hip
00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:10.700
needs to be both stable and mobile and
00:30:10.700 --> 00:30:14.960
well educated to move together so that's
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:17.919
just I saw this slide while I was
00:30:17.919 --> 00:30:20.990
collecting some of the images for this
00:30:20.990 --> 00:30:23.770
presentation and I figured I'd take I
00:30:23.770 --> 00:30:26.360
just draw a little attention to that so
00:30:26.360 --> 00:30:28.850
if you're saying saying the whole stable
00:30:28.850 --> 00:30:30.950
mobile thing that's great for your
00:30:30.950 --> 00:30:32.840
students but you should understand it
00:30:32.840 --> 00:30:34.000
deeper than that
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:40.220
okay so the key the the key relationship
00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:43.280
for looking at the hip is looking at its
00:30:43.280 --> 00:30:46.070
relationship to what's going on with the
00:30:46.070 --> 00:30:50.289
pelvis and the lumbar spine for example
00:30:50.289 --> 00:30:54.799
over here you could say that the left
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:59.120
side is lower so the hip is in adduction
00:30:59.120 --> 00:31:03.530
a DD or you could say that the lumbar
00:31:03.530 --> 00:31:07.340
spine has a side bend to the left or
00:31:07.340 --> 00:31:09.409
like this or you could say that the
00:31:09.409 --> 00:31:12.220
pelvis was probably slightly rotated
00:31:12.220 --> 00:31:16.760
which it it doesn't have to but you
00:31:16.760 --> 00:31:20.000
would you would typically describe this
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.929
more from the driving movement or the
00:31:23.929 --> 00:31:27.830
stance leg so when in the golf swing
00:31:27.830 --> 00:31:30.110
it's interesting because we shift weight
00:31:30.110 --> 00:31:32.270
and when you shift weight you move from
00:31:32.270 --> 00:31:34.400
an open clean chain environment to a
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:36.770
closed chain environment what I mean by
00:31:36.770 --> 00:31:39.650
that is when when this golfer is
00:31:39.650 --> 00:31:43.910
standing on the right leg over here then
00:31:43.910 --> 00:31:45.950
when they go to move their hip their
00:31:45.950 --> 00:31:49.070
pelvis will move but over here on the
00:31:49.070 --> 00:31:50.720
left leg which has not supported on the
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:53.120
ground if they go to move their hip
00:31:53.120 --> 00:31:55.850
though the leg will move and the hip
00:31:55.850 --> 00:31:58.880
will move and the pelvis won't move
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:02.390
quite as much so that's where there's
00:32:02.390 --> 00:32:05.000
some important relationships with where
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.510
the weight is and how your body would
00:32:08.510 --> 00:32:11.570
move so we have a question coming up
00:32:11.570 --> 00:32:14.150
later where we'll talk about the the
00:32:14.150 --> 00:32:16.100
takeaway and using the feet one of the
00:32:16.100 --> 00:32:18.050
important things about using the feet is
00:32:18.050 --> 00:32:20.900
that supports the relationship of the
00:32:20.900 --> 00:32:22.580
hip and the pelvis going through the
00:32:22.580 --> 00:32:25.480
ground and that's where some of the
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:28.790
practitioners where they what they
00:32:28.790 --> 00:32:30.710
really mean when they say that energy is
00:32:30.710 --> 00:32:33.130
developed through the ground it's that
00:32:33.130 --> 00:32:35.540
it's not that the ground is providing
00:32:35.540 --> 00:32:37.970
any sort of speed but the ground
00:32:37.970 --> 00:32:41.210
provides the the platform for your body
00:32:41.210 --> 00:32:43.250
to apply force against and then you take
00:32:43.250 --> 00:32:46.430
that force that you've created through
00:32:46.430 --> 00:32:48.890
your muscles to then move objects
00:32:48.890 --> 00:32:50.810
whether it's yourself or the golf club
00:32:50.810 --> 00:32:53.060
it's all going through your connection
00:32:53.060 --> 00:32:56.450
to the ground so the important thing to
00:32:56.450 --> 00:33:00.080
look at is which leg has the weight and
00:33:00.080 --> 00:33:04.010
therefore which hip is moving in open
00:33:04.010 --> 00:33:05.690
chain or which hip is moving in closed
00:33:05.690 --> 00:33:08.690
chain and how the pelvis and the lumbar
00:33:08.690 --> 00:33:11.210
spine would be either driving or
00:33:11.210 --> 00:33:14.030
responding but the basic movements of
00:33:14.030 --> 00:33:15.890
the side bend forward and backward tilt
00:33:15.890 --> 00:33:19.010
and rotation are the key movements that
00:33:19.010 --> 00:33:23.090
you'll look at this is just showing some
00:33:23.090 --> 00:33:24.800
of the rotations but we covered that and
00:33:24.800 --> 00:33:26.510
then this would be looking at some of
00:33:26.510 --> 00:33:28.850
those normal movements of the hip
00:33:28.850 --> 00:33:32.360
flexion and extension and so here's
00:33:32.360 --> 00:33:33.920
similar to what I was describing with
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:39.020
the splits like like the natural
00:33:39.020 --> 00:33:42.020
extension is only 10 degrees and so
00:33:42.020 --> 00:33:44.090
anything greater than that is either
00:33:44.090 --> 00:33:46.760
happening from the lumbar spine or in
00:33:46.760 --> 00:33:49.580
this case they're actually rotating the
00:33:49.580 --> 00:33:51.680
pelvis and opening up the hip so it
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:56.210
creates this a funny appearance of 40
00:33:56.210 --> 00:33:57.360
degrees of hits
00:33:57.360 --> 00:33:59.640
engine but I promise if we measured it
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:02.190
would be no more than the 2030 degrees
00:34:02.190 --> 00:34:04.799
on the upper end probably closer to 10
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:10.129
degrees of what most books say is normal
00:34:10.129 --> 00:34:12.510
okay before we get in the muscles let's
00:34:12.510 --> 00:34:14.730
talk real quick about the capsule this
00:34:14.730 --> 00:34:17.580
is mostly for the few trainers who are
00:34:17.580 --> 00:34:24.210
in on the call so the the the hip
00:34:24.210 --> 00:34:27.450
evolved with us in four point so it has
00:34:27.450 --> 00:34:32.129
a lot of stability on the back side and
00:34:32.129 --> 00:34:35.190
a lot of the hip issues come from the
00:34:35.190 --> 00:34:36.990
lack of stability on the front side so
00:34:36.990 --> 00:34:39.179
there's some really important ligaments
00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:40.710
that cross the front of the hip you have
00:34:40.710 --> 00:34:43.560
two huge muscles you're so as muscle and
00:34:43.560 --> 00:34:46.980
your rec FEM that form a cross over the
00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:49.950
hip to provide that stability on the
00:34:49.950 --> 00:34:51.540
front side to make sure that your hip
00:34:51.540 --> 00:34:56.190
doesn't pop forward so these are
00:34:56.190 --> 00:34:58.980
important areas to both have flexibility
00:34:58.980 --> 00:35:02.790
but also to have education and so good
00:35:02.790 --> 00:35:05.280
balance exercises helps with the
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.080
awareness and the proprioception of
00:35:07.080 --> 00:35:11.340
these ligaments not just the stretching
00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:15.030
of the muscles around the hip okay so
00:35:15.030 --> 00:35:16.830
while we're talking about the muscles
00:35:16.830 --> 00:35:20.609
around the hip if we're thinking of it
00:35:20.609 --> 00:35:24.690
in the hip pelvis lumbar spine complex
00:35:24.690 --> 00:35:28.260
then this area becomes really important
00:35:28.260 --> 00:35:30.690
so these are some of the most common
00:35:30.690 --> 00:35:33.720
muscles of the hip it doesn't for some
00:35:33.720 --> 00:35:36.330
reason they don't include the quad as a
00:35:36.330 --> 00:35:39.390
muscle because it doesn't attach to the
00:35:39.390 --> 00:35:42.330
greater trochanter it's you know on the
00:35:42.330 --> 00:35:45.630
pelvis or below but I would say that
00:35:45.630 --> 00:35:49.140
those are also important hip muscles so
00:35:49.140 --> 00:35:50.760
the ones that you're used to training
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.460
would be the glutes over here they
00:35:53.460 --> 00:35:57.119
provide some of the rotation as well as
00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:59.400
controlling the side tilt which is very
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:02.730
important for golf from the front view
00:36:02.730 --> 00:36:06.540
looking at here's the psoas muscle and
00:36:06.540 --> 00:36:10.699
it's quite it's quite large
00:36:10.699 --> 00:36:14.369
so that's so as muscle is basically
00:36:14.369 --> 00:36:17.819
going if we we've got the image on
00:36:17.819 --> 00:36:20.069
screen it's going from just below my or
00:36:20.069 --> 00:36:22.380
behind my belly button so from this part
00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:24.390
of the spine down to the inside of my
00:36:24.390 --> 00:36:26.430
thighs so it's basically going like this
00:36:26.430 --> 00:36:29.279
and it's it's almost the size of a small
00:36:29.279 --> 00:36:32.880
arm so this muscle is quite thick and
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:38.609
that provides it's probably one of the
00:36:38.609 --> 00:36:41.400
most important muscles it in the in the
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:43.890
golf swing it provides a little bit of
00:36:43.890 --> 00:36:46.859
stability in the hip hinge position and
00:36:46.859 --> 00:36:51.209
it provides the kind of the platform
00:36:51.209 --> 00:36:53.249
against the glute so that when you go
00:36:53.249 --> 00:36:56.119
into hip extension in the follow through
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:58.469
the hip wouldn't just push into the
00:36:58.469 --> 00:37:00.059
capsule that would serve as kind of the
00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:05.339
braking mechanism and it also has a very
00:37:05.339 --> 00:37:07.199
important relationship with both the ABS
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:11.549
and the glute max so this is one of the
00:37:11.549 --> 00:37:13.579
most important muscles to maintain
00:37:13.579 --> 00:37:17.069
flexibility with but strength that can
00:37:17.069 --> 00:37:19.199
be a key component as well now what
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:20.279
we'll see when we look at the
00:37:20.279 --> 00:37:21.989
relationships of muscles that there are
00:37:21.989 --> 00:37:23.789
some important swings between your abs
00:37:23.789 --> 00:37:26.819
and your abductors or inner thigh
00:37:26.819 --> 00:37:30.479
muscles and we'll kind of come back to
00:37:30.479 --> 00:37:33.779
that now these are what are referred to
00:37:33.779 --> 00:37:37.859
as the deep-six external rotators so
00:37:37.859 --> 00:37:39.749
there are these small muscles that go
00:37:39.749 --> 00:37:44.099
from the pelvis to the and one of them
00:37:44.099 --> 00:37:46.650
is a internal rotator but the the
00:37:46.650 --> 00:37:48.930
deep-six are kind of like the rotator
00:37:48.930 --> 00:37:50.940
cuff of the hip so just like we covered
00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:53.009
the you know you got your super springy
00:37:53.009 --> 00:37:54.449
is your Furness
00:37:54.449 --> 00:37:56.880
Terri's major minor and subscapularis
00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:59.979
[Music]
00:38:07.160 --> 00:38:09.509
associated with quality of movement and
00:38:09.509 --> 00:38:14.489
control but they can easily get tight
00:38:14.489 --> 00:38:16.529
and when they become tight they will
00:38:16.529 --> 00:38:18.209
have a bigger restriction on your
00:38:18.209 --> 00:38:21.509
movement then if your just your glutes
00:38:21.509 --> 00:38:22.470
are tight
00:38:22.470 --> 00:38:25.069
because they're because they're deeper
00:38:25.069 --> 00:38:27.510
here's another slide that kind of shows
00:38:27.510 --> 00:38:29.700
it as well as the relationship between
00:38:29.700 --> 00:38:31.890
them you can see all these muscles and
00:38:31.890 --> 00:38:36.210
the sciatic nerve that either comes just
00:38:36.210 --> 00:38:38.640
below or between these two muscles for
00:38:38.640 --> 00:38:42.180
some really unlucky people the sciatic
00:38:42.180 --> 00:38:43.619
nerve actually goes right through the
00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:45.680
middle of the piriformis
00:38:45.680 --> 00:38:48.089
but the piriformis is one of those deep
00:38:48.089 --> 00:38:55.140
six and it's really it's involved in a
00:38:55.140 --> 00:38:59.490
lot of back plane back pain scenarios so
00:38:59.490 --> 00:39:00.900
we'll talk about that a little bit more
00:39:00.900 --> 00:39:03.410
when we when we look at the pelvis
00:39:03.410 --> 00:39:05.790
because that's gonna be another
00:39:05.790 --> 00:39:09.150
important discussion but just know that
00:39:09.150 --> 00:39:12.540
you can you can kind of visualize how
00:39:12.540 --> 00:39:15.690
all those muscles could create some
00:39:15.690 --> 00:39:19.319
pinching or trapping of this sciatic
00:39:19.319 --> 00:39:21.569
nerve and that would create some really
00:39:21.569 --> 00:39:23.970
significant pain patterns for a lot of
00:39:23.970 --> 00:39:26.520
your golfers so the the few trainers who
00:39:26.520 --> 00:39:28.500
I have on there make sure you know how
00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:30.960
to stretch at the very least the
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.200
piriformis well the glute medius minimus
00:39:34.200 --> 00:39:37.290
well and obturator internus and actually
00:39:37.290 --> 00:39:41.310
quadratus femoris i'd say these two are
00:39:41.310 --> 00:39:44.990
a little bit harder to try and stretch
00:39:44.990 --> 00:39:47.940
but if you know how to stretch those
00:39:47.940 --> 00:39:51.270
four you can create a a a good amount of
00:39:51.270 --> 00:39:54.060
relief for a lot of hip and lower back
00:39:54.060 --> 00:39:59.160
pain okay so now we'll look at a few of
00:39:59.160 --> 00:40:01.500
the muscle chains before we get going
00:40:01.500 --> 00:40:05.099
into some of these questions and case
00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:08.760
studies so there's two important
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:11.670
relationships we'll look at one is this
00:40:11.670 --> 00:40:15.000
area right here where the the sit bone
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:18.770
is a really important attachment site
00:40:18.770 --> 00:40:22.920
for the the hamstring
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.859
as well as the Sager tuberous ligament
00:40:25.859 --> 00:40:29.099
which is one of the big connections from
00:40:29.099 --> 00:40:32.730
the lower back down to the lower leg you
00:40:32.730 --> 00:40:35.970
can see this muscle or this chain
00:40:35.970 --> 00:40:37.470
muscles going all the way up through
00:40:37.470 --> 00:40:42.260
there this is where a lot of compression
00:40:42.260 --> 00:40:47.310
and back pain situations I don't say
00:40:47.310 --> 00:40:50.150
originated but learning how to manage
00:40:50.150 --> 00:40:52.440
proper stretching of the hamstrings as
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:57.830
well as proper relief of some of these
00:40:57.830 --> 00:40:59.910
ligaments around your lower back like
00:40:59.910 --> 00:41:01.890
the cigarettes your wrist ligament can
00:41:01.890 --> 00:41:06.270
be huge for creating or reducing back
00:41:06.270 --> 00:41:10.740
pain so the more important ones for golf
00:41:10.740 --> 00:41:13.020
this one I just wanted to highlight for
00:41:13.020 --> 00:41:15.780
the likes of the few trainers on here
00:41:15.780 --> 00:41:17.670
making sure that you know how to stretch
00:41:17.670 --> 00:41:21.900
the biceps femoris but the ones that are
00:41:21.900 --> 00:41:23.400
more important for golf or more the
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:28.099
rotational slings so the glute
00:41:28.099 --> 00:41:31.200
connecting more to the side of the leg
00:41:31.200 --> 00:41:34.830
so here's where you can see this doesn't
00:41:34.830 --> 00:41:39.230
have the glute but you'll see the hip
00:41:39.230 --> 00:41:43.140
gets moved by the quads the adductors
00:41:43.140 --> 00:41:46.130
the glutes and the hamstrings and this
00:41:46.130 --> 00:41:49.380
anchor point is kind of a bridge where
00:41:49.380 --> 00:41:51.690
all these different directions connect
00:41:51.690 --> 00:41:55.339
and transfer their energy so one of the
00:41:55.339 --> 00:42:00.300
one little challenge is golfers because
00:42:00.300 --> 00:42:01.680
we're we're not quite been over this
00:42:01.680 --> 00:42:03.359
much but because we're bent over some
00:42:03.359 --> 00:42:06.240
there's some slack on the front side of
00:42:06.240 --> 00:42:07.500
the body and there's a little bit more
00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:09.060
tension on the back side of the body if
00:42:09.060 --> 00:42:13.020
you're already a little bit tight
00:42:13.020 --> 00:42:14.760
we're stiff on the back side of the body
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.580
this is one reason why it can be hard to
00:42:17.580 --> 00:42:19.619
rotate because when you rotate you're
00:42:19.619 --> 00:42:21.300
going to lengthen one side of this
00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:26.550
already tight structure so it's cool
00:42:26.550 --> 00:42:30.030
body but that usually goes within goes
00:42:30.030 --> 00:42:32.730
away within a couple weeks of working on
00:42:32.730 --> 00:42:34.710
staying in your posture unless they have
00:42:34.710 --> 00:42:37.349
some type of pathology that's causing
00:42:37.349 --> 00:42:41.580
them actual problems so one way to look
00:42:41.580 --> 00:42:44.940
at those relationships which we'll talk
00:42:44.940 --> 00:42:46.240
about here more
00:42:46.240 --> 00:42:49.480
is these slings that go from your
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.609
shoulder across your rip ribs down
00:42:51.609 --> 00:42:53.950
across your pelvis and hip down to your
00:42:53.950 --> 00:42:56.020
knee so you have these two kind of
00:42:56.020 --> 00:42:57.700
crosses on the front and you have the
00:42:57.700 --> 00:43:00.790
two crosses on the back so here you can
00:43:00.790 --> 00:43:03.130
see it's not quite this clean and clear
00:43:03.130 --> 00:43:06.849
in the body but the attachment of the
00:43:06.849 --> 00:43:10.780
ABS works directly in line with the
00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:13.660
adductors so you can imagine if this arm
00:43:13.660 --> 00:43:15.670
was down in more golf posture or
00:43:15.670 --> 00:43:22.230
actually we'll do it this way so this
00:43:22.230 --> 00:43:25.480
the ABS are kind of going down across in
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:27.820
this direction and then they that line
00:43:27.820 --> 00:43:29.890
basically works across onto my inner
00:43:29.890 --> 00:43:33.040
thighs so these two coming together is a
00:43:33.040 --> 00:43:35.859
very natural and powerful pattern and
00:43:35.859 --> 00:43:38.830
then on the back side you've got your
00:43:38.830 --> 00:43:41.080
your big hip external rotators your
00:43:41.080 --> 00:43:43.210
glute and your lat coming down the
00:43:43.210 --> 00:43:46.260
opposite side so these two will
00:43:46.260 --> 00:43:55.420
naturally or this body will rotate
00:43:55.420 --> 00:43:58.150
forward as this is coming forward so
00:43:58.150 --> 00:44:00.070
working those slings helps build the
00:44:00.070 --> 00:44:02.080
engine of the golf swing which helps
00:44:02.080 --> 00:44:03.910
control the steep shallows and allows
00:44:03.910 --> 00:44:05.950
for the arms to be more of the steering
00:44:05.950 --> 00:44:07.750
wheel and kind of fine-tuning control
00:44:07.750 --> 00:44:10.960
rather than the engine like we saw with
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:15.420
a bunch of those casts pattern golfers
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:20.680
so then here are the the more common you
00:44:20.680 --> 00:44:22.300
got the spiral line and the functional
00:44:22.300 --> 00:44:25.780
lines that I like anatomy trains I think
00:44:25.780 --> 00:44:29.020
it's missing you know there's way more
00:44:29.020 --> 00:44:31.720
connections in the functional line than
00:44:31.720 --> 00:44:36.099
just the ABS to the pecs because you
00:44:36.099 --> 00:44:38.970
could actually make the argument of the
00:44:38.970 --> 00:44:41.349
connection to the external oblique which
00:44:41.349 --> 00:44:43.660
would be involved in this and more so
00:44:43.660 --> 00:44:45.839
than just I believe that's a dr. Magnus
00:44:45.839 --> 00:44:48.369
you have five layers of adductors and
00:44:48.369 --> 00:44:50.380
there they all have similar attachment
00:44:50.380 --> 00:44:55.560
sites to this location here but again
00:44:55.560 --> 00:44:57.990
looking at this
00:44:57.990 --> 00:45:00.609
I'm gonna zoom in on something or I'm
00:45:00.609 --> 00:45:03.670
gonna try zooming in on something which
00:45:03.670 --> 00:45:05.829
we have a slide that'll look at there
00:45:05.829 --> 00:45:08.680
but I want you to see how this comes
00:45:08.680 --> 00:45:10.690
down through here and then wraps
00:45:10.690 --> 00:45:12.579
underneath the bottom of the foot and
00:45:12.579 --> 00:45:14.920
connects on the first meda
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:18.210
over there that's gonna come up here in
00:45:18.210 --> 00:45:20.589
five or ten minutes when we get into the
00:45:20.589 --> 00:45:24.099
question and answers but I'll scale it
00:45:24.099 --> 00:45:27.010
back so that when we print this for your
00:45:27.010 --> 00:45:29.530
when you get to watch the replays it'll
00:45:29.530 --> 00:45:37.049
match a little bit better okay so I'll
00:45:37.049 --> 00:45:41.829
check over to the chat hey Jake thanks
00:45:41.829 --> 00:45:44.619
for joining if there are any questions
00:45:44.619 --> 00:45:47.680
about the hip anatomy let me know I know
00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:50.049
the anatomy is it's kind of like eating
00:45:50.049 --> 00:45:52.180
the vegetables and not the ones that
00:45:52.180 --> 00:45:53.859
have been dipped in ranch dressing
00:45:53.859 --> 00:45:56.319
but like the ones that you need where
00:45:56.319 --> 00:45:59.559
it'll as you study it more you'll be
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:01.210
able to make some of the connections
00:46:01.210 --> 00:46:03.970
between why golfer is moving in a
00:46:03.970 --> 00:46:06.460
specific way and why that would be
00:46:06.460 --> 00:46:08.230
beneficial for them so therefore what
00:46:08.230 --> 00:46:11.529
you'll have to change but at first they
00:46:11.529 --> 00:46:13.270
can be quite overwhelming there's a lot
00:46:13.270 --> 00:46:15.339
of muscles and a lot of fascial
00:46:15.339 --> 00:46:19.990
connections ok jumping into the
00:46:19.990 --> 00:46:23.650
questions let's get back to some of this
00:46:23.650 --> 00:46:26.170
fun stuff okay so can you explain the
00:46:26.170 --> 00:46:30.250
forces and torques of the hands put on
00:46:30.250 --> 00:46:34.359
the grip in the backswing it's you're
00:46:34.359 --> 00:46:36.369
right it's not talked about nearly as
00:46:36.369 --> 00:46:38.319
much as the forces and torques in the
00:46:38.319 --> 00:46:40.809
downswing so I'll use this as more of an
00:46:40.809 --> 00:46:42.910
opportunity to just talk about the kind
00:46:42.910 --> 00:46:47.970
of the global forces and torques so
00:46:47.970 --> 00:46:52.809
especially looking at the in plane is
00:46:52.809 --> 00:46:55.270
one of the easiest ways to at least look
00:46:55.270 --> 00:46:58.240
at like understand the concepts so if
00:46:58.240 --> 00:47:00.160
you look at the golf club swinging in
00:47:00.160 --> 00:47:02.620
the golf plane there are two major
00:47:02.620 --> 00:47:03.900
[Music]
00:47:03.900 --> 00:47:06.880
components to the what's causing this
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:10.270
thing to rotate so one is the actual
00:47:10.270 --> 00:47:11.740
rotation
00:47:11.740 --> 00:47:14.290
the the club around its center mass so
00:47:14.290 --> 00:47:15.970
that's referred to as the torque and
00:47:15.970 --> 00:47:18.820
then to would be if I apply a linear
00:47:18.820 --> 00:47:22.780
force but not directly through the
00:47:22.780 --> 00:47:25.180
center of mass but on any angle compared
00:47:25.180 --> 00:47:27.310
to the center of mass it will cause the
00:47:27.310 --> 00:47:29.200
club to rotate so that it lines up with
00:47:29.200 --> 00:47:30.790
the center of mass so you've got your
00:47:30.790 --> 00:47:32.470
what's typically referred to as the
00:47:32.470 --> 00:47:35.200
moment of force which is the linear pull
00:47:35.200 --> 00:47:37.270
and then you've got the couple which is
00:47:37.270 --> 00:47:40.200
more commonly what the hands do
00:47:40.200 --> 00:47:44.110
typically golfers feel the couple but
00:47:44.110 --> 00:47:46.840
typically the moment of forces has the
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:50.860
kind of bigger influence so during the
00:47:50.860 --> 00:47:54.850
backswing the moment of force during the
00:47:54.850 --> 00:47:57.790
backswing would actually I'm pulling
00:47:57.790 --> 00:47:59.980
this way center of mass is down there
00:47:59.980 --> 00:48:01.960
they want to get in line so it would
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:02.950
cause the club
00:48:02.950 --> 00:48:06.390
to want to rotate that way obviously
00:48:06.390 --> 00:48:10.330
most golfers do not take the club back
00:48:10.330 --> 00:48:13.750
like this because they use their arm in
00:48:13.750 --> 00:48:15.850
the hand and the couple to bring it back
00:48:15.850 --> 00:48:18.040
with it it's easy to do when it doesn't
00:48:18.040 --> 00:48:20.680
take a whole lot of the the couple
00:48:20.680 --> 00:48:22.660
dominates when it's moving slowly the
00:48:22.660 --> 00:48:24.070
moment of force dominates when it's
00:48:24.070 --> 00:48:26.080
moving really quickly since the club is
00:48:26.080 --> 00:48:28.840
moving slowly during the takeaway you'll
00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:30.850
feel like you're bringing it back with
00:48:30.850 --> 00:48:33.900
your arms because the couple is
00:48:33.900 --> 00:48:38.170
resisting the moment want making it want
00:48:38.170 --> 00:48:41.490
to rotate in the opposite direction so
00:48:41.490 --> 00:48:44.109
the the important ones for the couple
00:48:44.109 --> 00:48:46.900
would be it's going to pull it away this
00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:48.790
way to resist them a moment and then
00:48:48.790 --> 00:48:51.340
it's going to decelerate it at the top
00:48:51.340 --> 00:48:54.130
of the swing so you'll start applying a
00:48:54.130 --> 00:48:56.920
positive torque to slow down the club so
00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:59.080
that it can then change direction those
00:48:59.080 --> 00:49:04.390
are the two big components that I see in
00:49:04.390 --> 00:49:07.920
the backswing I usually coach more of
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:10.990
quiet the couple so less of the hand
00:49:10.990 --> 00:49:13.720
taking it away more of the moment or
00:49:13.720 --> 00:49:17.380
body action in the takeaway and then
00:49:17.380 --> 00:49:20.560
getting enough momentum so that the arms
00:49:20.560 --> 00:49:22.840
actually have to slow it down at the top
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:23.890
of swing instead
00:49:23.890 --> 00:49:27.480
of just lifting and using your arms so
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:31.329
typically most of the the arm action
00:49:31.329 --> 00:49:32.980
that or the backswing action that I
00:49:32.980 --> 00:49:35.890
teach is just some simple positioning of
00:49:35.890 --> 00:49:37.720
the arms but leading it with the body
00:49:37.720 --> 00:49:39.730
and staying more in in posture and in
00:49:39.730 --> 00:49:41.220
position
00:49:41.220 --> 00:49:44.200
do the hand and arm movements on the
00:49:44.200 --> 00:49:46.329
backswing make the body movements fall
00:49:46.329 --> 00:49:49.809
into place correctly going back that's I
00:49:49.809 --> 00:49:53.769
don't think there's ever an absolute so
00:49:53.769 --> 00:49:55.269
I think that it's important that you
00:49:55.269 --> 00:49:56.859
know what the arms should do you know
00:49:56.859 --> 00:49:58.750
what the body should do you know how
00:49:58.750 --> 00:50:00.910
those might feel working together so
00:50:00.910 --> 00:50:04.150
that then some golfers all you have to
00:50:04.150 --> 00:50:05.589
talk about is the body and the arms fall
00:50:05.589 --> 00:50:07.569
in place other golfers all you have to
00:50:07.569 --> 00:50:09.279
do is talk about the arms the body falls
00:50:09.279 --> 00:50:12.279
in place others do both really well and
00:50:12.279 --> 00:50:16.240
others do neither really well so that's
00:50:16.240 --> 00:50:18.609
definitely one of the arts of coaching
00:50:18.609 --> 00:50:22.329
is figuring out of the pieces like
00:50:22.329 --> 00:50:24.970
what's the order which one do I try if I
00:50:24.970 --> 00:50:27.309
try this one hopefully will it clean up
00:50:27.309 --> 00:50:31.119
two or three of these others oftentimes
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:34.930
I'd say with the backswing
00:50:34.930 --> 00:50:39.279
more often than not the body staying in
00:50:39.279 --> 00:50:42.130
position does enough get so that the
00:50:42.130 --> 00:50:45.039
arms don't have to make a major change
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:47.829
so I'd say while the downswing I tend to
00:50:47.829 --> 00:50:49.839
think that the arms drive the body being
00:50:49.839 --> 00:50:52.720
in for more golfers if you get good arm
00:50:52.720 --> 00:50:55.150
action on the downswing I think for more
00:50:55.150 --> 00:50:57.519
golfers if you get good body action in
00:50:57.519 --> 00:51:00.460
the backswing it kind of drives it but
00:51:00.460 --> 00:51:01.900
definitely not absolutely you have to
00:51:01.900 --> 00:51:03.759
know how to teach both the arms and the
00:51:03.759 --> 00:51:07.180
body how quickly does a Tour player get
00:51:07.180 --> 00:51:09.819
into the right heel on the backswing
00:51:09.819 --> 00:51:12.160
I was with so they get in there pressure
00:51:12.160 --> 00:51:14.349
into the right foot I'm not gonna say
00:51:14.349 --> 00:51:15.609
right heel but they get their pressure
00:51:15.609 --> 00:51:19.210
into the right foot before the club is
00:51:19.210 --> 00:51:22.240
parallel so quite early there's kind of
00:51:22.240 --> 00:51:22.840
a
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:27.190
a step with that weight shift so right
00:51:27.190 --> 00:51:30.070
through there right there there's a fair
00:51:30.070 --> 00:51:32.850
amount and whether they go this way
00:51:32.850 --> 00:51:35.530
that's still a fair amount of pressure
00:51:35.530 --> 00:51:37.510
shift into that right foot I know I said
00:51:37.510 --> 00:51:39.580
wait but it was it should have been
00:51:39.580 --> 00:51:42.850
pressure we all know that but your
00:51:42.850 --> 00:51:46.420
comment of into the right heel so now
00:51:46.420 --> 00:51:48.880
that you know we've talked about some of
00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:51.640
the bigger areas in anatomy we're gonna
00:51:51.640 --> 00:51:53.440
use this because you have another your
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:55.180
next question is about the left foot big
00:51:55.180 --> 00:52:00.430
toe so I'm gonna bring up slide real
00:52:00.430 --> 00:52:04.990
quick this is looking at the bottom of a
00:52:04.990 --> 00:52:08.620
foot okay so here's obviously the big
00:52:08.620 --> 00:52:11.830
toe and then here's the pinky toe you'll
00:52:11.830 --> 00:52:15.030
see that two of the important structures
00:52:15.030 --> 00:52:19.030
wrap underneath the foot so this is
00:52:19.030 --> 00:52:22.620
tibialis posterior para Pronovias longus
00:52:22.620 --> 00:52:28.330
sorry peroneus longus so there's two
00:52:28.330 --> 00:52:31.710
something call this the fibularis so
00:52:31.710 --> 00:52:34.870
these two structures are where most of
00:52:34.870 --> 00:52:38.320
the big key hip muscles actually
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:42.850
attached to the foot so it's not so much
00:52:42.850 --> 00:52:44.950
about getting the pressure in the heel
00:52:44.950 --> 00:52:46.930
it's that there's this triangle between
00:52:46.930 --> 00:52:50.830
the this point here the outside edge of
00:52:50.830 --> 00:52:53.680
the cuboid here and then the inside of
00:52:53.680 --> 00:52:57.250
the calcaneus that this performs this
00:52:57.250 --> 00:53:00.130
triangle and this arch that's really
00:53:00.130 --> 00:53:02.350
important for creating tension for the
00:53:02.350 --> 00:53:04.830
joint or for the structures up above so
00:53:04.830 --> 00:53:08.830
when you get into the the right foot
00:53:08.830 --> 00:53:11.470
it's not so much that it gets into the
00:53:11.470 --> 00:53:14.020
right foot as far as the weight shifting
00:53:14.020 --> 00:53:15.070
over there it's more about creating
00:53:15.070 --> 00:53:19.630
tension in that part of the flow or it's
00:53:19.630 --> 00:53:22.090
about creating tension through the
00:53:22.090 --> 00:53:23.650
bottom of the foot so you create the
00:53:23.650 --> 00:53:27.340
tension underneath the big toe so then
00:53:27.340 --> 00:53:31.330
your glute can activate with maximum
00:53:31.330 --> 00:53:32.410
tension
00:53:32.410 --> 00:53:33.999
you don't want to have slack when you're
00:53:33.999 --> 00:53:37.499
trying to activate a muscle forcefully
00:53:37.499 --> 00:53:40.299
and that'll relate to so can you explain
00:53:40.299 --> 00:53:42.489
in Prior webinar that the backswing
00:53:42.489 --> 00:53:44.019
starts with a push of the left big toe
00:53:44.019 --> 00:53:46.829
what part of the right foot accepts that
00:53:46.829 --> 00:53:50.769
the the arch essentially accepts it
00:53:50.769 --> 00:53:54.460
underneath the big toe so that then it's
00:53:54.460 --> 00:53:56.670
being accepted all the way up the chain
00:53:56.670 --> 00:54:02.170
into the hip because all the key lateral
00:54:02.170 --> 00:54:04.539
rotators or external rotators are gang
00:54:04.539 --> 00:54:06.789
loaded there in the backswing so
00:54:06.789 --> 00:54:11.549
basically if I'm rotating in this way if
00:54:11.549 --> 00:54:15.220
like I could be I'll see if I can angle
00:54:15.220 --> 00:54:20.950
this differently okay so now if I load
00:54:20.950 --> 00:54:23.049
into this right leg I'm basically
00:54:23.049 --> 00:54:25.599
internally rotating so I'm stretching my
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:29.079
external rotators so then they can go
00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:30.999
like that which would basically be doing
00:54:30.999 --> 00:54:34.569
that motion now in order for me to do
00:54:34.569 --> 00:54:37.749
that motion I need to have the
00:54:37.749 --> 00:54:39.430
connection between my hip and the foot
00:54:39.430 --> 00:54:42.460
oh I need this I think of it almost like
00:54:42.460 --> 00:54:45.160
a string of Christmas lights I want all
00:54:45.160 --> 00:54:47.460
those lights connected so that there's
00:54:47.460 --> 00:54:51.489
like a maximum but taut tension all the
00:54:51.489 --> 00:54:53.829
way around I don't want just part of
00:54:53.829 --> 00:54:56.890
that chain to be bright I want to
00:54:56.890 --> 00:54:59.609
equally break the whole way across so I
00:54:59.609 --> 00:55:04.420
could be in my heel and load into my
00:55:04.420 --> 00:55:08.799
quad or I could be on the the inside of
00:55:08.799 --> 00:55:12.670
the foot the place where most we'll talk
00:55:12.670 --> 00:55:13.839
about is kind of getting the pressure
00:55:13.839 --> 00:55:15.819
just underneath the inside there where
00:55:15.819 --> 00:55:17.559
those two attachment sites were for
00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:19.989
those two key muscles so if the pressure
00:55:19.989 --> 00:55:23.859
is more through there I'm feeling it now
00:55:23.859 --> 00:55:25.599
all the way up into my hip but the
00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:27.309
interesting is even though my pressure
00:55:27.309 --> 00:55:29.289
is on the inside the foot I'm feeling
00:55:29.289 --> 00:55:31.239
the tension more towards the lateral
00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:33.700
side because that's where my glutes are
00:55:33.700 --> 00:55:36.099
so some people may feel more the
00:55:36.099 --> 00:55:38.200
pressure being on the inside some people
00:55:38.200 --> 00:55:41.289
may feel more the tension which would be
00:55:41.289 --> 00:55:43.350
more towards the lateral side
00:55:43.350 --> 00:55:47.190
so what part of the foot accepts it the
00:55:47.190 --> 00:55:49.490
whole foot pressure on the inside
00:55:49.490 --> 00:55:51.870
tension through that triangle and that
00:55:51.870 --> 00:55:55.440
triangle could you could feel where it's
00:55:55.440 --> 00:55:57.990
creating the tension at any point along
00:55:57.990 --> 00:55:59.600
it
00:55:59.600 --> 00:56:02.580
last question what causes the head to go
00:56:02.580 --> 00:56:05.280
down and out towards the target on the
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:08.360
backswing I'd say more common than not
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:13.110
the the down motion is loading the up
00:56:13.110 --> 00:56:17.220
motion so it's typically I find it in
00:56:17.220 --> 00:56:20.820
golfers who tend to rotate like create
00:56:20.820 --> 00:56:23.220
fake rotation with more of a side Bend
00:56:23.220 --> 00:56:26.640
and not enough of an actual ribcage
00:56:26.640 --> 00:56:29.870
rotation so they get more of kind of
00:56:29.870 --> 00:56:33.630
leaning forward into the the toes to
00:56:33.630 --> 00:56:36.120
load the quad because if we look at
00:56:36.120 --> 00:56:38.580
those slings rotating the ribs and
00:56:38.580 --> 00:56:41.010
loading the hip rotationally kind of
00:56:41.010 --> 00:56:43.470
match up so if I'm gonna avoid one it
00:56:43.470 --> 00:56:45.510
typically makes sense to avoid both of
00:56:45.510 --> 00:56:48.690
them so believe the golfers you're
00:56:48.690 --> 00:56:50.700
talking about is if you're looking from
00:56:50.700 --> 00:56:52.470
and down the line they kind of go down
00:56:52.470 --> 00:56:56.130
like this that's typically loading into
00:56:56.130 --> 00:56:59.460
the outside quad and that's loading into
00:56:59.460 --> 00:57:02.820
the back so then I can kind of spring up
00:57:02.820 --> 00:57:07.050
and go into powerful early extension or
00:57:07.050 --> 00:57:10.800
powerful leg thrusting during the
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:11.220
downswing
00:57:11.220 --> 00:57:14.700
that's where I see it so then doing some
00:57:14.700 --> 00:57:17.310
more rotational drills at the hip and
00:57:17.310 --> 00:57:22.850
the core typically help balance that out
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:29.030
okay now I had a couple of questions on
00:57:29.030 --> 00:57:31.590
4d I hadn't actually seen these graphs
00:57:31.590 --> 00:57:34.850
before I'm gonna investigate it and
00:57:34.850 --> 00:57:39.330
we'll see if I can or get get back as
00:57:39.330 --> 00:57:42.720
soon as I can figure these out but
00:57:42.720 --> 00:57:45.270
apparently there are some Quan 3d graphs
00:57:45.270 --> 00:57:46.740
which is pretty cool
00:57:46.740 --> 00:57:49.050
and I just wanted to bring them up I
00:57:49.050 --> 00:57:52.350
don't have an answer as to what we're
00:57:52.350 --> 00:57:56.250
actually looking at because some of the
00:57:56.250 --> 00:57:56.850
lines
00:57:56.850 --> 00:57:58.890
kind of thought but the numbers don't
00:57:58.890 --> 00:58:00.480
totally make sense with what I would
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:03.510
expect to see but the last one of
00:58:03.510 --> 00:58:06.320
looking at the functional swing plane
00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:09.150
this one does make sense so the
00:58:09.150 --> 00:58:11.820
functional swing plane is the the plane
00:58:11.820 --> 00:58:14.040
that the club head takes from roughly
00:58:14.040 --> 00:58:15.660
waist height to roughly waist height
00:58:15.660 --> 00:58:18.620
down the bottom all swings are planar
00:58:18.620 --> 00:58:21.990
you can think of this as more showing
00:58:21.990 --> 00:58:27.030
like the horizontal swing plane of the
00:58:27.030 --> 00:58:28.920
golf swing combined with the vertical
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:31.770
swing plane of a golfer golf swing so
00:58:31.770 --> 00:58:36.930
the question when I've talked to people
00:58:36.930 --> 00:58:40.790
who've you know worked with Kwan on
00:58:40.790 --> 00:58:46.220
these different concepts the the key is
00:58:46.220 --> 00:58:49.380
knowing it in relationship to the target
00:58:49.380 --> 00:58:52.110
so that's the one thing I would see as a
00:58:52.110 --> 00:58:55.080
challenge here is from a practical
00:58:55.080 --> 00:58:57.120
standpoint of how do I apply it which is
00:58:57.120 --> 00:59:01.410
what the the question is you would
00:59:01.410 --> 00:59:03.660
really want to understand the target on
00:59:03.660 --> 00:59:07.830
the other side you could use it to show
00:59:07.830 --> 00:59:10.470
the plane shift which is what it shows
00:59:10.470 --> 00:59:12.450
here which is actually pretty cool so
00:59:12.450 --> 00:59:16.260
the blue line is the backswing trace the
00:59:16.260 --> 00:59:18.450
red line is the downswing trace and then
00:59:18.450 --> 00:59:24.030
the green line is the mid mid backswing
00:59:24.030 --> 00:59:25.250
the mid follow through the actual
00:59:25.250 --> 00:59:28.020
functional swing plane projected white
00:59:28.020 --> 00:59:29.970
seems to be the deviation from the
00:59:29.970 --> 00:59:32.520
backswing to follow-through to the
00:59:32.520 --> 00:59:35.250
functional swing plane so basically
00:59:35.250 --> 00:59:39.180
letting us visualize the shallowing I do
00:59:39.180 --> 00:59:41.760
have 4d on my laptop but I haven't
00:59:41.760 --> 00:59:44.880
played around with it enough but this
00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:46.800
could be a fun graphic for being able to
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:49.740
see some of the shallowing movements or
00:59:49.740 --> 00:59:53.430
plane shift but if I was looking at the
00:59:53.430 --> 00:59:54.660
shadowing movements I would probably
00:59:54.660 --> 00:59:58.080
actually look more at the movements of
00:59:58.080 --> 01:00:01.230
the left arm assuming they're pretty
01:00:01.230 --> 01:00:03.390
accurate on this thing which I know John
01:00:03.390 --> 01:00:05.430
Sinclair says they are so I need to
01:00:05.430 --> 01:00:08.030
investigate it
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:10.300
okay then we had a couple other
01:00:10.300 --> 01:00:14.099
questions before we look at some swings
01:00:14.099 --> 01:00:16.810
if you had a total beginner with no
01:00:16.810 --> 01:00:19.060
sports background ask for a lesson other
01:00:19.060 --> 01:00:21.640
than setup and grit would you start with
01:00:21.640 --> 01:00:24.040
rotation exercises or mini swings or
01:00:24.040 --> 01:00:27.819
neither and why with a total beginner I
01:00:27.819 --> 01:00:29.970
almost always start with the big picture
01:00:29.970 --> 01:00:33.700
so I will start with we are trying to
01:00:33.700 --> 01:00:36.250
like what is the club what are we trying
01:00:36.250 --> 01:00:38.619
to do with the club how are we going you
01:00:38.619 --> 01:00:39.819
know should the club hit the ground
01:00:39.819 --> 01:00:43.000
where should it hit the ground what's
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:44.710
the path of the club gonna look like
01:00:44.710 --> 01:00:46.329
what's the clubface gonna look like I
01:00:46.329 --> 01:00:50.140
have on my computer at my office I've
01:00:50.140 --> 01:00:51.910
got a little 10 minute presentation
01:00:51.910 --> 01:00:54.579
where I just go through those different
01:00:54.579 --> 01:00:56.680
components it's most of them are screen
01:00:56.680 --> 01:00:59.050
shots taken out of the book so that's
01:00:59.050 --> 01:01:01.569
why I started with the first section as
01:01:01.569 --> 01:01:03.880
far as understanding okay this is the
01:01:03.880 --> 01:01:05.710
basics this is what the swing is gonna
01:01:05.710 --> 01:01:08.079
look like then after that I'll usually
01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:11.349
do something relating to solid contact
01:01:11.349 --> 01:01:12.940
because I want that first so learning
01:01:12.940 --> 01:01:15.310
that in order to control where the club
01:01:15.310 --> 01:01:17.230
hits the ground I need to control where
01:01:17.230 --> 01:01:19.200
my upper body is and I need to control
01:01:19.200 --> 01:01:21.910
how straight my arms are and at what
01:01:21.910 --> 01:01:26.349
time then if we needed to if we would
01:01:26.349 --> 01:01:28.720
address clubface and or direction but
01:01:28.720 --> 01:01:31.180
that's usually what I start with in the
01:01:31.180 --> 01:01:33.099
first swing is just getting them to read
01:01:33.099 --> 01:01:36.579
feedback of ground contact and what it
01:01:36.579 --> 01:01:40.140
takes to have solid solid striking then
01:01:40.140 --> 01:01:43.720
from a exercise perspective or drill
01:01:43.720 --> 01:01:46.150
perspective yes I'll do centered pivot
01:01:46.150 --> 01:01:47.980
things kind of getting the big shape of
01:01:47.980 --> 01:01:50.140
learning how to rotate the body while
01:01:50.140 --> 01:01:52.540
the arms say roughly in front of the
01:01:52.540 --> 01:01:55.450
body and the center of the body stays in
01:01:55.450 --> 01:02:00.220
kind of a smallish hub how would you
01:02:00.220 --> 01:02:06.810
approach lessons for seven-year-olds so
01:02:06.810 --> 01:02:12.940
to be fair I don't I work with middle
01:02:12.940 --> 01:02:15.450
school and above I don't do a lot of the
01:02:15.450 --> 01:02:19.000
junior classes we have someone at our
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:21.640
Club who has more of a specialty so I
01:02:21.640 --> 01:02:24.849
tend to push them off to them I wouldn't
01:02:24.849 --> 01:02:27.990
be uncomfortable if I were to need to do
01:02:27.990 --> 01:02:30.760
beginner golfers I would break down the
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:36.250
skills into fun games and change topics
01:02:36.250 --> 01:02:38.130
at least every ten minutes
01:02:38.130 --> 01:02:41.589
so even with some of my like the
01:02:41.589 --> 01:02:43.750
youngest kid I have is nine but he's
01:02:43.750 --> 01:02:46.630
pretty mature for a nine-year-old and in
01:02:46.630 --> 01:02:49.960
a one-hour lesson we will usually do
01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:52.589
five different skills so whether that's
01:02:52.589 --> 01:02:57.270
driver on track man irons off grass
01:02:57.270 --> 01:03:00.790
pitching over the bunker or you know
01:03:00.790 --> 01:03:02.530
we'll have a little contests and things
01:03:02.530 --> 01:03:05.470
like that but the most important thing
01:03:05.470 --> 01:03:07.450
is I wouldn't go into too much depth I
01:03:07.450 --> 01:03:09.730
would go for more breadth and make sure
01:03:09.730 --> 01:03:13.270
to hit on each individual topic so that
01:03:13.270 --> 01:03:14.980
they're kind of constantly moving and
01:03:14.980 --> 01:03:18.369
being challenged the last thing I would
01:03:18.369 --> 01:03:20.829
do is just a one-hour full swing lesson
01:03:20.829 --> 01:03:24.700
with seven or seven-year-old okay so
01:03:24.700 --> 01:03:27.400
we've got a couple swings too submitted
01:03:27.400 --> 01:03:30.609
so we'll look at these here in a second
01:03:30.609 --> 01:03:33.250
I have a swing that could look at the
01:03:33.250 --> 01:03:34.690
webinar if you like I thought the swing
01:03:34.690 --> 01:03:37.810
seems unusual as as reverse lower body
01:03:37.810 --> 01:03:41.410
twists so much the trail foot comes way
01:03:41.410 --> 01:03:44.380
off the ground towards the finish by the
01:03:44.380 --> 01:03:46.680
way this guy played baseball before
01:03:46.680 --> 01:03:50.260
that's a huge thing ding-ding we got to
01:03:50.260 --> 01:03:52.750
look out for a few things there seem to
01:03:52.750 --> 01:03:54.430
be a lot of good moves here but how
01:03:54.430 --> 01:03:56.800
would I tackle this one okay so let me
01:03:56.800 --> 01:04:04.050
switch over that's the second one okay
01:04:04.050 --> 01:04:09.089
so this is the former baseball player
01:04:09.089 --> 01:04:14.530
zoom in a little bit maybe that's too
01:04:14.530 --> 01:04:17.220
much okay
01:04:18.070 --> 01:04:23.570
so baseball players typically present
01:04:23.570 --> 01:04:28.520
with some common swing issues so let's
01:04:28.520 --> 01:04:31.720
see what's going on
01:04:31.810 --> 01:04:38.120
so in transition you can see there's a
01:04:38.120 --> 01:04:41.480
fair amount of rotary going on but not a
01:04:41.480 --> 01:04:47.440
whole lot of lateral he's not really
01:04:47.440 --> 01:04:50.740
loading into or he's not really getting
01:04:50.740 --> 01:04:53.150
he's not doing the Jackson 5 he's not
01:04:53.150 --> 01:04:55.460
really getting into a good delivery
01:04:55.460 --> 01:04:59.990
angle here for golf and you'll see he
01:04:59.990 --> 01:05:03.350
was talking about that funky right foot
01:05:03.350 --> 01:05:08.980
move that's a not uncommon but I'd say
01:05:08.980 --> 01:05:11.270
somewhat common movement for baseball
01:05:11.270 --> 01:05:17.020
players so that's a little to be
01:05:17.020 --> 01:05:20.450
expected let's look at the down the line
01:05:20.450 --> 01:05:22.610
this is where from the face on view I'm
01:05:22.610 --> 01:05:25.430
like I froze it at that screen because
01:05:25.430 --> 01:05:26.750
you can see where the club face is
01:05:26.750 --> 01:05:29.210
pointing given where his grip is and
01:05:29.210 --> 01:05:32.020
that screams baseball and danger to me
01:05:32.020 --> 01:05:34.910
so now there's an iron we'll see if it's
01:05:34.910 --> 01:05:40.370
any better so at the top of the swing
01:05:40.370 --> 01:05:43.850
it's a little bit baseball ish it's a
01:05:43.850 --> 01:05:45.530
little bit across so that's basically
01:05:45.530 --> 01:05:47.420
the weight of the club more in the
01:05:47.420 --> 01:05:48.950
middle of the arms kind of like a
01:05:48.950 --> 01:05:51.470
baseball bat as opposed to outside of
01:05:51.470 --> 01:05:55.880
the arms more like a golf club so as he
01:05:55.880 --> 01:05:57.380
comes down that's going to cause him to
01:05:57.380 --> 01:05:59.690
get a little bit steep and then here's
01:05:59.690 --> 01:06:03.710
where most baseball players struggle for
01:06:03.710 --> 01:06:06.020
a while which is looking at the clubface
01:06:06.020 --> 01:06:08.810
control so we've got the clubface kind
01:06:08.810 --> 01:06:13.490
of at an angle there and then you can
01:06:13.490 --> 01:06:15.860
see the clubface did not really change
01:06:15.860 --> 01:06:20.240
Wow all the way down until let's say
01:06:20.240 --> 01:06:24.440
right around there okay so right around
01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:29.220
there which would be probably
01:06:29.220 --> 01:06:31.440
this frame here so what we're seeing is
01:06:31.440 --> 01:06:35.039
all through here there's zero clubface
01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:38.369
rotation and then right through there
01:06:38.369 --> 01:06:40.319
when he starts to straighten the arm is
01:06:40.319 --> 01:06:41.849
when we start to see the clubface
01:06:41.849 --> 01:06:46.920
rotating so a lot of what he's doing
01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:52.770
with his body supports speed in more of
01:06:52.770 --> 01:06:59.490
a baseball motion he's essentially not
01:06:59.490 --> 01:07:03.059
that work he's not really factoring in
01:07:03.059 --> 01:07:05.970
the clubface in any shape or form which
01:07:05.970 --> 01:07:08.670
is typical for baseball players so what
01:07:08.670 --> 01:07:11.000
you'll typically see with baseballers is
01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:15.920
very little face rotation and then
01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:20.069
snapping the the clubface closed down at
01:07:20.069 --> 01:07:22.770
the end and you'll typically see more of
01:07:22.770 --> 01:07:28.740
a steep vertical like over radial
01:07:28.740 --> 01:07:31.140
deviation he's not too bad as far as the
01:07:31.140 --> 01:07:34.049
over radial deviation but he definitely
01:07:34.049 --> 01:07:36.480
has the issue of getting the clubface
01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:39.059
too close and he definitely has the
01:07:39.059 --> 01:07:43.829
issue of more of a rotary pivot and not
01:07:43.829 --> 01:07:49.380
having enough of the axis tilt now the
01:07:49.380 --> 01:07:52.260
fact that he's making contact on the
01:07:52.260 --> 01:07:55.710
hosel is also an indication that he has
01:07:55.710 --> 01:07:59.279
very little clubface control and
01:07:59.279 --> 01:08:01.319
basically what I mean by that is
01:08:01.319 --> 01:08:03.779
baseball players are used to swinging
01:08:03.779 --> 01:08:06.990
the at the object that they're holding
01:08:06.990 --> 01:08:10.289
right so basically all the weight of a
01:08:10.289 --> 01:08:12.029
baseball bat goes right through where my
01:08:12.029 --> 01:08:13.799
hands are holding but with a golf club
01:08:13.799 --> 01:08:16.440
it's up here so imagine if you had
01:08:16.440 --> 01:08:18.120
imagine if I turned it around and I had
01:08:18.120 --> 01:08:21.870
a baseball bat but take my sticky note
01:08:21.870 --> 01:08:24.960
imagine the baseball hat the baseball
01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:27.029
bat was not the striking surface imagine
01:08:27.029 --> 01:08:30.270
I had a something floating like this
01:08:30.270 --> 01:08:34.230
that I had to strike the golf ball or
01:08:34.230 --> 01:08:36.960
the bat with and imagine that it had a
01:08:36.960 --> 01:08:39.750
fair amount of weight to it so what most
01:08:39.750 --> 01:08:41.250
baseball players would do is they would
01:08:41.250 --> 01:08:43.219
do it like
01:08:43.219 --> 01:08:46.699
if this if this restraint didn't exist
01:08:46.699 --> 01:08:48.290
if they get hit with any part of the bat
01:08:48.290 --> 01:08:50.989
then essentially what they would do is
01:08:50.989 --> 01:08:53.329
they would keep this extra weight dead
01:08:53.329 --> 01:08:55.790
in line with the axis that the bat is
01:08:55.790 --> 01:08:59.359
swinging around but because we want to
01:08:59.359 --> 01:09:02.420
make contact with it up above here now
01:09:02.420 --> 01:09:04.489
you they'll feel that the weight is
01:09:04.489 --> 01:09:07.040
totally off in their hands and they'll
01:09:07.040 --> 01:09:10.670
feel that it's closing or that's
01:09:10.670 --> 01:09:13.009
changing much quicker so it doesn't feel
01:09:13.009 --> 01:09:15.799
as powerful and if the timing feels very
01:09:15.799 --> 01:09:18.889
off for baseball players but one common
01:09:18.889 --> 01:09:20.779
reason that some golfers shank is that
01:09:20.779 --> 01:09:23.540
they're feeling more the weight of the
01:09:23.540 --> 01:09:26.089
shaft and the hosel not really feeling
01:09:26.089 --> 01:09:28.819
the weight of the club head and one
01:09:28.819 --> 01:09:31.819
common issue for baseball players when
01:09:31.819 --> 01:09:33.949
the clubface is that open and not
01:09:33.949 --> 01:09:36.679
changing it's essentially like the face
01:09:36.679 --> 01:09:39.409
is in line with the direction it's
01:09:39.409 --> 01:09:41.569
moving the face is basically in line
01:09:41.569 --> 01:09:44.540
with the shaft and so you can swing it
01:09:44.540 --> 01:09:47.000
faster that way but it's really hard to
01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:48.500
control the face down at the bottom and
01:09:48.500 --> 01:09:52.250
that's more of what you know baseball
01:09:52.250 --> 01:09:53.569
players don't have to worry about face
01:09:53.569 --> 01:09:56.420
it's all about speed so I would be doing
01:09:56.420 --> 01:09:58.099
a ton what I do with most baseball
01:09:58.099 --> 01:10:00.110
players is a lot of face control early
01:10:00.110 --> 01:10:02.840
on to make it easier to then change the
01:10:02.840 --> 01:10:11.230
pivot later okay we've got a second
01:10:11.230 --> 01:10:19.190
video to take a look at and this I'll
01:10:19.190 --> 01:10:21.770
give you the description after we take a
01:10:21.770 --> 01:10:27.610
look at it so okay so we've got it in
01:10:27.610 --> 01:10:31.630
full speed over here
01:10:33.949 --> 01:10:37.860
I'm just gonna let you observe they'll
01:10:37.860 --> 01:10:39.330
play it through a few times
01:10:39.330 --> 01:10:44.400
pretty good looking move not too bad
01:10:44.400 --> 01:10:45.960
pretty good looking divot pattern down
01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:53.280
there at the bottom okay this one's more
01:10:53.280 --> 01:10:57.199
of a slow motion
01:11:13.280 --> 01:11:15.440
well kind of jumpstart in a little bit
01:11:15.440 --> 01:11:18.380
so much some good things from the down
01:11:18.380 --> 01:11:22.850
the line okay let me jump back to the
01:11:22.850 --> 01:11:25.040
PowerPoint real quick for the
01:11:25.040 --> 01:11:32.720
description okay so the description on
01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:34.160
that I'm sending a couple swings from a
01:11:34.160 --> 01:11:35.960
student for the webinar student is a
01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:38.330
plus two or plus three currently so we
01:11:38.330 --> 01:11:39.800
knew it was a pretty good swing
01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:41.630
been working on the motorcycle and
01:11:41.630 --> 01:11:43.970
release drills lately during tournaments
01:11:43.970 --> 01:11:45.890
he's been hitting the ball on the heel
01:11:45.890 --> 01:11:50.740
and hitting weak right shots okay so
01:11:50.740 --> 01:11:53.450
good player plus two plus three so the
01:11:53.450 --> 01:11:55.930
swing is definitely not dysfunctional
01:11:55.930 --> 01:11:58.730
what would contribute to striking it on
01:11:58.730 --> 01:12:01.970
the heel and striking it right that's
01:12:01.970 --> 01:12:06.740
the mystery to try to solve okay so if
01:12:06.740 --> 01:12:10.370
we go up on the face on view one thing
01:12:10.370 --> 01:12:13.730
that it looks like to my eye was it
01:12:13.730 --> 01:12:21.070
looked like there was a thank you okay
01:12:21.070 --> 01:12:23.610
so
01:12:23.610 --> 01:12:25.620
one of the things that looked like to my
01:12:25.620 --> 01:12:29.630
eye was that there was a fair amount of
01:12:29.630 --> 01:12:33.690
upper body lunge now I would definitely
01:12:33.690 --> 01:12:36.810
investigate that the right contact so
01:12:36.810 --> 01:12:39.120
typically under pressure the or under
01:12:39.120 --> 01:12:41.280
stress under adrenaline and the body
01:12:41.280 --> 01:12:43.980
movements get amplified and the arm
01:12:43.980 --> 01:12:46.320
movements get neutralized or quieted
01:12:46.320 --> 01:12:48.990
down so that's the problem with having
01:12:48.990 --> 01:12:51.510
too many timing elements is typically
01:12:51.510 --> 01:12:53.810
under pressure one of those gets
01:12:53.810 --> 01:12:58.320
exaggerated or slowed down so I'd be
01:12:58.320 --> 01:13:01.380
curious to see what happens if if the
01:13:01.380 --> 01:13:03.900
path changes as a result of his upper
01:13:03.900 --> 01:13:07.070
body staying a little bit more behind
01:13:07.070 --> 01:13:10.320
but it does look like part of how he's
01:13:10.320 --> 01:13:12.800
controlling low point is more with that
01:13:12.800 --> 01:13:19.040
upper body lunge so we could either play
01:13:19.040 --> 01:13:22.140
with the ball position compared to the
01:13:22.140 --> 01:13:26.000
stance if you like where he gets here or
01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:29.580
we could play with the upper body
01:13:29.580 --> 01:13:30.710
awareness
01:13:30.710 --> 01:13:34.260
ideally I'd say you'd want to probably
01:13:34.260 --> 01:13:37.110
do a little bit of both maybe not quite
01:13:37.110 --> 01:13:40.410
as much of a lunge in transition since
01:13:40.410 --> 01:13:43.440
that could cause heal and that could
01:13:43.440 --> 01:13:50.520
cause the right shot and and it would be
01:13:50.520 --> 01:13:52.170
a good complement to what you're already
01:13:52.170 --> 01:13:54.840
working on with the motorcycle so the
01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:58.260
motorcycle will take this movement here
01:13:58.260 --> 01:14:04.950
and create shaft lean so the that's
01:14:04.950 --> 01:14:07.290
usually a good complement or a lot of
01:14:07.290 --> 01:14:09.180
golfers who you need it for more low
01:14:09.180 --> 01:14:13.200
point control then benefit really well
01:14:13.200 --> 01:14:16.020
from learning to stay a little bit more
01:14:16.020 --> 01:14:18.450
behind so the arms in front is more of
01:14:18.450 --> 01:14:19.830
the wipe and that creates a little bit
01:14:19.830 --> 01:14:22.050
more of the steepness and then the head
01:14:22.050 --> 01:14:24.270
behind creates a little bit more of a
01:14:24.270 --> 01:14:29.510
shallowness because I think
01:14:29.510 --> 01:14:34.190
that if you could imagine if the body
01:14:34.190 --> 01:14:37.510
was even just a little bit more forward
01:14:37.510 --> 01:14:40.460
that would potentially cause a little
01:14:40.460 --> 01:14:42.890
bit of the heel strike
01:14:42.890 --> 01:14:48.080
I wouldn't necessarily and just because
01:14:48.080 --> 01:14:54.170
of where so the one question I'd have
01:14:54.170 --> 01:14:56.570
would be of the with the motorcycle
01:14:56.570 --> 01:15:03.470
components it looks like you may want to
01:15:03.470 --> 01:15:05.920
work on there's actually pretty good
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:07.850
I'll link where he gets to in his
01:15:07.850 --> 01:15:09.320
follow-through what I was gonna say is
01:15:09.320 --> 01:15:12.760
it looks like coming into the ball that
01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:16.640
it it's a little under rotated if he's
01:15:16.640 --> 01:15:19.720
going to have his hands ahead so
01:15:19.720 --> 01:15:21.830
potentially working a little bit more on
01:15:21.830 --> 01:15:23.300
the heel toe awareness or a little bit
01:15:23.300 --> 01:15:26.239
more on the supination pattern of not
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:29.030
letting the clubface be that open coming
01:15:29.030 --> 01:15:31.580
into it but I'll be curious to see what
01:15:31.580 --> 01:15:34.190
happens if the upper body is a little
01:15:34.190 --> 01:15:39.440
bit more behind typically that the upper
01:15:39.440 --> 01:15:45.250
body behind can help with delivering the
01:15:45.250 --> 01:15:48.320
low point in front and by doing so he
01:15:48.320 --> 01:15:50.950
may automatically increase the amount of
01:15:50.950 --> 01:15:53.960
motorcycle so I'd be curious to say that
01:15:53.960 --> 01:15:56.570
my first test I would look at the upper
01:15:56.570 --> 01:15:58.040
body awareness connected to the ball
01:15:58.040 --> 01:16:00.020
position and see how well he can move
01:16:00.020 --> 01:16:03.380
around the bottom of the swing just
01:16:03.380 --> 01:16:07.400
because I think that he's I think he's
01:16:07.400 --> 01:16:08.930
gonna hat like he's gonna struggle
01:16:08.930 --> 01:16:10.690
getting that low point forward without
01:16:10.690 --> 01:16:14.030
lunging at first and that's the puzzle
01:16:14.030 --> 01:16:16.210
that will help him solve the heel strike
01:16:16.210 --> 01:16:20.540
and I believe that by itself will help
01:16:20.540 --> 01:16:22.720
with the right and set you up for
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:24.910
continuing to work on the motorcycle
01:16:24.910 --> 01:16:27.140
through more of that supination pattern
01:16:27.140 --> 01:16:29.350
late
01:16:33.239 --> 01:16:38.949
alright let me pull up the the chat all
01:16:38.949 --> 01:16:44.889
right so we've we've covered some fun
01:16:44.889 --> 01:16:48.039
swings the hip which is I think one of
01:16:48.039 --> 01:16:49.599
the more important topics for golfers
01:16:49.599 --> 01:16:51.849
understand and how it relates to the
01:16:51.849 --> 01:16:53.460
pelvis and the catch pattern which is
01:16:53.460 --> 01:16:57.130
was one of the big ones one of the
01:16:57.130 --> 01:17:00.929
initial kind of aha moments of how
01:17:00.929 --> 01:17:04.929
important 3d was was understanding that
01:17:04.929 --> 01:17:07.119
a lot of the things especially you know
01:17:07.119 --> 01:17:08.979
you've got a hinge it like this to not
01:17:08.979 --> 01:17:13.150
cast I saw that none of the students who
01:17:13.150 --> 01:17:15.429
I saw casting
01:17:15.429 --> 01:17:17.139
did it because it looked like they were
01:17:17.139 --> 01:17:20.639
doing it with that lead wrist going into
01:17:20.639 --> 01:17:24.190
only deviation too soon so hopefully
01:17:24.190 --> 01:17:26.170
this webinar helps you with a couple key
01:17:26.170 --> 01:17:29.019
concepts if you have any questions or if
01:17:29.019 --> 01:17:30.820
you have any topic suggestions for what
01:17:30.820 --> 01:17:34.809
we'll cover in the April or May webinars
01:17:34.809 --> 01:17:38.079
please don't has hesitate to send me an
01:17:38.079 --> 01:17:39.909
email or send it to support at golf
01:17:39.909 --> 01:17:42.550
smart Academy comm thanks again for
01:17:42.550 --> 01:17:47.110
joining us and yeah enjoy hopefully
01:17:47.110 --> 01:17:49.090
spring starting we're having some great
01:17:49.090 --> 01:17:50.380
weather but hopefully you're getting
01:17:50.380 --> 01:17:52.599
spring to start soon and you can start
01:17:52.599 --> 01:17:54.429
applying some of these golf questions
01:17:54.429 --> 01:17:56.860
and I imagine as the season gets along
01:17:56.860 --> 01:18:00.159
you'll have some more tricky swings for
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:01.840
us to take a look at so don't forget to
01:18:01.840 --> 01:18:04.059
submit your questions and submit the
01:18:04.059 --> 01:18:06.159
swings you want in wise for the next
01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:08.519
