WEBVTT
00:00:10.849 --> 00:00:14.160
all right good morning here we go again
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.740
with another coach's call wrapping up
00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:20.130
the end of the summer let's see
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:22.470
good to see you on Edie hopefully some
00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:26.160
others join in we've got a bunch of case
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.230
studies there was a whole bunch of video
00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:29.670
some is submitted
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:32.640
this week or this month so and some be
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.960
let's be good the the topics today we're
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.170
gonna cover the 3d of the backswing so
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:41.700
what do we see on a mmm during the
00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.190
backswing with a lot of some key areas
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:46.079
I'm going to give you some homework for
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.500
the feet we'll look at some other areas
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:51.809
but the feet are definitely under
00:00:51.809 --> 00:00:57.469
trained and then we have a handful of
00:00:57.469 --> 00:01:02.070
coaches swing so should be fun one all
00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:04.260
right let's jump into it as far as the
00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:10.710
backswing goes the you know the the
00:01:10.710 --> 00:01:14.450
backswing in general I think is much
00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:17.220
simpler than the downswing
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:21.990
once so the the backswing is much
00:01:21.990 --> 00:01:23.939
simpler than the downswing I know in
00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:26.790
golf instruction historically a lot of
00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:28.229
time has been spent to kind of
00:01:28.229 --> 00:01:31.140
perfecting the backswing and there's
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:32.820
probably a little bit of merit to that
00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:35.900
but in general I think the way the brain
00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:39.210
organizes a movement is it decides where
00:01:39.210 --> 00:01:41.700
it wants to go and then how to get there
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:45.479
it doesn't just reflexively go somewhere
00:01:45.479 --> 00:01:46.920
because it started on that path it has
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.189
to plan it and then execute it and so
00:01:50.189 --> 00:01:53.820
the backswing often compliments what
00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:56.040
you're going to do or always compliments
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.360
what you're going to do on the downswing
00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:01.500
so there are many cases I had one this
00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:04.170
week where he came in wanting to talk
00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:06.570
about his backswing we worked a little
00:02:06.570 --> 00:02:10.080
bit on how he powered the swing and the
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:11.340
thing he wanted to change in his
00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:13.489
backswing went away
00:02:13.489 --> 00:02:17.310
so while we're going to go through these
00:02:17.310 --> 00:02:20.580
details understand that these are really
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:23.010
related to what we'll cover next month
00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:27.360
with the with the downswing okay so as
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.690
far as linear body movements go these
00:02:30.690 --> 00:02:34.970
are gonna be I'd say more indicative of
00:02:34.970 --> 00:02:37.170
helping you decode what they're trying
00:02:37.170 --> 00:02:40.110
to do then the rotations unfortunately
00:02:40.110 --> 00:02:42.540
the rotations in the backswing are
00:02:42.540 --> 00:02:46.769
pretty simple you're gonna try to rotate
00:02:46.769 --> 00:02:49.110
in some you know you're gonna rotate
00:02:49.110 --> 00:02:51.120
your body to load up your glutes your
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.700
lats your your big muscles and then
00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:57.060
you're going to stay in enough tilt or
00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:00.269
side bend so that you can help control
00:03:00.269 --> 00:03:02.310
low point and direct that force down at
00:03:02.310 --> 00:03:05.370
the ground so the rotations you'll
00:03:05.370 --> 00:03:07.650
typically see somewhere around 90
00:03:07.650 --> 00:03:11.280
degrees of thorax rotation coupled with
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.819
about 45 degrees of thorax side Bend
00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:19.069
with close to zero extension at the top
00:03:19.069 --> 00:03:24.329
so I know we've we've covered that in or
00:03:24.329 --> 00:03:25.829
I've covered that in other videos it's
00:03:25.829 --> 00:03:29.660
it's definitely something that you'll
00:03:29.660 --> 00:03:31.919
you get a lot of bang for your buck in
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.560
working on extension and side Bend
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.680
especially with some of your older
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.690
population who liked to stay flexed
00:03:39.690 --> 00:03:42.120
forward and when we see in the release
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.069
that that's a helpful components and the
00:03:44.069 --> 00:03:47.489
release as well but getting back to the
00:03:47.489 --> 00:03:49.560
backswing the linear movements that kind
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.819
of give you a little indication so
00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:56.099
lateral shift is sway so moving towards
00:03:56.099 --> 00:03:59.910
or away the target with the driver they
00:03:59.910 --> 00:04:01.769
tend to shift a little bit off the ball
00:04:01.769 --> 00:04:03.660
and then with an iron they tend to shift
00:04:03.660 --> 00:04:06.660
a little bit towards the target so you
00:04:06.660 --> 00:04:08.280
got different stance widths different
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.250
access tilt and different intentions
00:04:11.250 --> 00:04:13.650
whether you're trying to sweep or you
00:04:13.650 --> 00:04:16.470
know strike down and compress there's
00:04:16.470 --> 00:04:19.320
typically a slight drop in both the
00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:22.200
upper body in the lower body but you'll
00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:25.250
see a lot of amateurs have a slight lift
00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:27.169
so if we think about how the backswing
00:04:27.169 --> 00:04:29.479
relates to the downswing that slight
00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:32.870
lift is often an indication that they're
00:04:32.870 --> 00:04:36.020
going to use their upper body to create
00:04:36.020 --> 00:04:38.110
power rather than using their lower body
00:04:38.110 --> 00:04:41.120
I've never seen someone if I tell them
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.759
okay I want you to I want you to get
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.130
ready to jump right and I've never seen
00:04:46.130 --> 00:04:48.380
them stand up taller to get ready to
00:04:48.380 --> 00:04:50.539
jump every time I say okay get ready to
00:04:50.539 --> 00:04:53.599
jump they squat a little bit so if your
00:04:53.599 --> 00:04:56.449
brain wants to use your legs to start
00:04:56.449 --> 00:04:59.000
the downswing then it has no business
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:03.860
really raising up but if your brain
00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:12.590
wants to pull down right so if your
00:05:12.590 --> 00:05:16.009
brain wants to pull down then I'm
00:05:16.009 --> 00:05:18.830
actually gonna be able to do that more
00:05:18.830 --> 00:05:22.610
effectively if I shift and raise up and
00:05:22.610 --> 00:05:26.569
so a lot of that that common pattern of
00:05:26.569 --> 00:05:28.610
shifting off the ball raising your arms
00:05:28.610 --> 00:05:31.639
up tilting a lot away is an indication
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.139
that they're using more of a shoulder
00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:35.539
pull and less of a leg push against the
00:05:35.539 --> 00:05:39.530
ground and then you'll see a minimal
00:05:39.530 --> 00:05:42.530
shift of the upper body towards the golf
00:05:42.530 --> 00:05:45.469
ball that's mostly from that lateral
00:05:45.469 --> 00:05:48.830
flexion the you know the pressure stuff
00:05:48.830 --> 00:05:51.259
will tend to show that you don't want
00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:52.880
your weight going into your toes so that
00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:53.990
would be the only other thing that would
00:05:53.990 --> 00:05:57.349
really knew that so it's more from the
00:05:57.349 --> 00:06:00.229
side bend at the top of the swing now
00:06:00.229 --> 00:06:02.090
the arm movements we'll get into can be
00:06:02.090 --> 00:06:05.419
a little bit especially the right arm
00:06:05.419 --> 00:06:07.400
can be a little bit tricky in general
00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:09.710
the left wrist is going or though the
00:06:09.710 --> 00:06:12.979
left arm is going to rotate some so the
00:06:12.979 --> 00:06:16.009
forearm is going to rotate and the wrist
00:06:16.009 --> 00:06:18.050
is going to hinge how much flexion
00:06:18.050 --> 00:06:20.000
extension depends on the timing of your
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.509
motorcycle movement there'll be a little
00:06:23.509 --> 00:06:26.900
bit of arm bend at the top I can't
00:06:26.900 --> 00:06:29.090
remember off the top of my head but I
00:06:29.090 --> 00:06:30.770
believe that Everage is somewhere around
00:06:30.770 --> 00:06:35.060
30 degrees he's average guys who look
00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:36.589
like it's dead straight are usually
00:06:36.589 --> 00:06:38.260
about 10 degrees more
00:06:38.260 --> 00:06:41.750
then where they were at setup now the
00:06:41.750 --> 00:06:44.990
right arm oh and there's there's some
00:06:44.990 --> 00:06:50.020
shoulder lifts so at your start position
00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:57.020
with my belt buckle and then if I stand
00:06:57.020 --> 00:06:58.610
up now at the top of the swing there
00:06:58.610 --> 00:07:01.400
even with shoulders or even more above
00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:04.580
so during the backswing there's gonna be
00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:08.350
this general lifting rotating and moving
00:07:08.350 --> 00:07:12.850
slightly towards that trail shoulder
00:07:12.850 --> 00:07:15.199
because the right arm is bending more
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.979
than the left now the rotation of the
00:07:18.979 --> 00:07:22.750
right arm is just a little bit trickier
00:07:22.750 --> 00:07:25.940
because when the right arm externally
00:07:25.940 --> 00:07:30.169
rotates then to stay in any type of
00:07:30.169 --> 00:07:31.639
swing plane and not have the club
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.100
pointing crazy off the right arm well
00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:37.610
pronate so most people think that the
00:07:37.610 --> 00:07:40.880
left arm is going to pronate so the
00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:43.190
right arm is going to supinate but
00:07:43.190 --> 00:07:46.370
because the forearm is the gap between
00:07:46.370 --> 00:07:50.210
the shoulder and the hand in order to
00:07:50.210 --> 00:07:52.610
match it it actually pronates as well so
00:07:52.610 --> 00:07:55.070
it's more like pronate pronate and then
00:07:55.070 --> 00:07:56.750
during the downswing it kind of supinate
00:07:56.750 --> 00:08:01.039
supinate seems weird until you get the
00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:02.419
shoulder involved and then it makes more
00:08:02.419 --> 00:08:05.479
sense because it's not so much that it's
00:08:05.479 --> 00:08:08.560
kind of the the left arm is actively or
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.449
pronating more from the distal segment
00:08:11.449 --> 00:08:16.400
and then this would be pronation from
00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:20.030
the proximal segment so it's kind of
00:08:20.030 --> 00:08:22.010
like one is more of an open chain and
00:08:22.010 --> 00:08:24.050
the other is a closed chain but you'll
00:08:24.050 --> 00:08:25.849
see that the the forums actually kind of
00:08:25.849 --> 00:08:28.340
go in the same direction in terms of
00:08:28.340 --> 00:08:31.789
rotation and then weave I know some of
00:08:31.789 --> 00:08:33.380
you guys love the right shoulder blade
00:08:33.380 --> 00:08:35.570
action getting that shoulder blade to
00:08:35.570 --> 00:08:38.510
retract as it goes up towards the top of
00:08:38.510 --> 00:08:40.190
the swing I don't have data on it but
00:08:40.190 --> 00:08:42.800
visually you can see that's a key
00:08:42.800 --> 00:08:48.410
component welcome I see Tim Taylor we're
00:08:48.410 --> 00:08:50.150
gonna look at his swing a little bit
00:08:50.150 --> 00:08:52.070
later alright let's jump into
00:08:52.070 --> 00:09:02.540
you the 3d okay so here's my normal 3d
00:09:02.540 --> 00:09:05.930
layout when we're looking at the back
00:09:05.930 --> 00:09:09.160
swing elbow separation doesn't mean much
00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:14.200
our quit doesn't mean a whole lot axial
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:19.220
velocity means tiny bit but not too much
00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:21.560
and actually I'm not too worried about
00:09:21.560 --> 00:09:23.060
the kinematic sequence when we're
00:09:23.060 --> 00:09:24.890
looking at the backswing so it
00:09:24.890 --> 00:09:26.750
simplifies things a little bit now we've
00:09:26.750 --> 00:09:30.740
got you know only seven graphs instead
00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:36.410
of eleven but as I go up to the top of
00:09:36.410 --> 00:09:38.720
the backswing we'll be able to see some
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.240
of these numbers hopefully you can see
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.790
everything pretty good now first thing
00:09:43.790 --> 00:09:46.370
I'll talk about is the takeaway right so
00:09:46.370 --> 00:09:50.210
the one one-piece takeaway the one-piece
00:09:50.210 --> 00:09:56.240
takeaway shows up mostly with the wrist
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.440
and elbow movements so if I blow these
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:06.080
three up you'll see that the first part
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.840
right so the first little quarter of
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.110
this the backswing there's very little
00:10:12.110 --> 00:10:14.380
change in the wrist movements and
00:10:14.380 --> 00:10:17.150
there's very little change in the elbow
00:10:17.150 --> 00:10:21.410
movements so basically during that first
00:10:21.410 --> 00:10:24.050
phase all the movement is happening more
00:10:24.050 --> 00:10:27.470
from the body and you'll see that it's a
00:10:27.470 --> 00:10:29.930
little bit of like the the pelvis starts
00:10:29.930 --> 00:10:33.800
changing quickly and you'll see that
00:10:33.800 --> 00:10:35.690
it's a little bit more of just some
00:10:35.690 --> 00:10:37.850
linear movements a little bit of weight
00:10:37.850 --> 00:10:41.390
shift or a little bit of side Bend is
00:10:41.390 --> 00:10:43.160
often a common one that kind of triggers
00:10:43.160 --> 00:10:45.590
it or just the rotation but you'll see
00:10:45.590 --> 00:10:48.620
that there's not a whole lot of wrist
00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:51.260
and arm action happening in this early
00:10:51.260 --> 00:10:58.990
stage of the takeaway so then if we go
00:10:59.410 --> 00:11:03.100
we'll bring them back up
00:11:06.350 --> 00:11:10.800
okay so if we go back to the full view
00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:13.559
and go to the top of the swing I'll load
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.389
up here shortly and we'll close out the
00:11:18.389 --> 00:11:24.029
three or the four we don't need good so
00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:29.600
now if I go up to the top of backswing
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.879
this is a driver in fact the ones that
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.759
we're looking at today our driver and so
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.399
with a driver you will typically see a
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.870
little bit more of the thorax way now
00:11:42.870 --> 00:11:46.459
you'll often see kind of like not
00:11:46.459 --> 00:11:50.339
incredibly smooth motions with the
00:11:50.339 --> 00:11:52.319
thorax usually when you're you're
00:11:52.319 --> 00:11:53.819
positioning and moving a little bit
00:11:53.819 --> 00:11:57.389
slower the graphs will have a little bit
00:11:57.389 --> 00:11:59.790
more kind of wobble to them
00:11:59.790 --> 00:12:02.399
this particular golfer you can see the
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.699
the drop of about one and a half inches
00:12:05.699 --> 00:12:08.749
this golfer does shift more towards the
00:12:08.749 --> 00:12:11.910
towards the golf ball so he's actually
00:12:11.910 --> 00:12:14.309
shifting that way into the golf ball
00:12:14.309 --> 00:12:20.220
just a little bit and then pretty stable
00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:22.110
with his pelvis not a whole lot of
00:12:22.110 --> 00:12:24.089
movement there but still a little bit of
00:12:24.089 --> 00:12:28.860
drop so about one inch is a you know one
00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:31.529
to two inches of the drop is fairly
00:12:31.529 --> 00:12:35.059
typical and then here we'll see I
00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:38.730
mention the arms bending will typically
00:12:38.730 --> 00:12:41.550
see both arms bending up towards the top
00:12:41.550 --> 00:12:42.209
of the swing
00:12:42.209 --> 00:12:47.069
not just the the trail arm as a lot of
00:12:47.069 --> 00:12:49.499
people would think the closest I've ever
00:12:49.499 --> 00:12:52.110
seen is Ernie else he had like a little
00:12:52.110 --> 00:12:54.929
less than 10 degrees of Bend from setup
00:12:54.929 --> 00:12:57.870
to the top of the swing but most of them
00:12:57.870 --> 00:12:59.550
part of the reason it doesn't look that
00:12:59.550 --> 00:13:01.879
dramatic is because the arm has rotated
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.740
where for many amateurs the arm doesn't
00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:07.350
rotate so you're looking more at the
00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:08.699
angle I'll show you what I mean with
00:13:08.699 --> 00:13:12.899
that so
00:13:12.899 --> 00:13:16.720
let's say I'm standing here and I I'm
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.220
pretty straight it's set up and then I
00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:20.350
bend it so that's probably about thirty
00:13:20.350 --> 00:13:23.199
degrees of Bend there now you can see if
00:13:23.199 --> 00:13:24.850
I'm like this you can clearly see that
00:13:24.850 --> 00:13:28.269
it's bent but if I've rotated my arm now
00:13:28.269 --> 00:13:31.750
it starts to look pretty straight and so
00:13:31.750 --> 00:13:34.240
if that arm is rotated it will look
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.310
straighter than a lot of amateurs you
00:13:36.310 --> 00:13:38.889
just kind of like hold that arm you can
00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:40.779
see that's the same amount of arm Bend
00:13:40.779 --> 00:13:43.899
so that's one of the optical illusions
00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:46.180
depending upon where you're looking at
00:13:46.180 --> 00:13:51.060
that angle let's get that out of the way
00:13:51.060 --> 00:13:54.790
with the pelvis you typically want to
00:13:54.790 --> 00:13:58.120
see a little bit of a posterior tilt
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.540
this golfer has a huge hip trigger
00:14:00.540 --> 00:14:04.180
causing some of their back pain but you
00:14:04.180 --> 00:14:05.560
typically want to see a little bit of a
00:14:05.560 --> 00:14:08.680
posterior tilt in order to engage the
00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:11.260
abdominals and create a little bit more
00:14:11.260 --> 00:14:15.370
space in the lumbar spine and then let's
00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:20.980
see if we look at the thorax angles so
00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:25.019
he's a little under rotated at the top
00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:28.990
close to zero with the extension close
00:14:28.990 --> 00:14:31.810
to 40 degrees side Bend and typically if
00:14:31.810 --> 00:14:32.920
they're under rotated they'll be a
00:14:32.920 --> 00:14:34.899
little bit under side bent those guys as
00:14:34.899 --> 00:14:41.670
you get closer to neutral or coupled so
00:14:41.670 --> 00:14:47.829
yeah overall pretty classic I'm sorry I
00:14:47.829 --> 00:14:54.220
was thinking ahead so as far as the like
00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:56.199
the the rotations the backswing stuff is
00:14:56.199 --> 00:15:00.579
pretty like easy as far as the you're
00:15:00.579 --> 00:15:02.050
gonna see some hinge and you're gonna
00:15:02.050 --> 00:15:03.610
see some rotation it's more about the
00:15:03.610 --> 00:15:04.180
timing
00:15:04.180 --> 00:15:06.370
now the Greenline the flexion extension
00:15:06.370 --> 00:15:07.870
looking at the timing of their
00:15:07.870 --> 00:15:10.690
motorcycle movements you'll typically
00:15:10.690 --> 00:15:13.449
see a little bit of extension as they
00:15:13.449 --> 00:15:15.699
get towards the top of the swing but
00:15:15.699 --> 00:15:17.110
some of the more modern guys you don't
00:15:17.110 --> 00:15:20.500
see it quite as much so this is not an
00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:22.300
uncommon pattern where it flexes a
00:15:22.300 --> 00:15:24.100
little bit in the takeaway as they start
00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:25.640
setting their hinging
00:15:25.640 --> 00:15:28.370
wrists more so it's extending and then
00:15:28.370 --> 00:15:29.930
they go into the motorcycle movement
00:15:29.930 --> 00:15:31.870
there where they're flexing that wrist
00:15:31.870 --> 00:15:34.700
but we'll talk about the downswing next
00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:40.970
time okay let's let's jump to the next
00:15:40.970 --> 00:15:42.800
one like I said the backswing I wanted
00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:46.610
to cover it but it's whoops you guys
00:15:46.610 --> 00:15:51.670
aren't letting me know here we go
00:15:51.670 --> 00:15:57.050
okay so we'll jump on to this next
00:15:57.050 --> 00:15:59.600
gentleman and cover some of the same
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:11.240
ideas so extra-long kind of one-piece
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.120
takeaway you see very little wrist
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.100
change so one of the longer there's very
00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:21.830
little wrist and arm change all the way
00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:23.540
till about here I'd say about half that
00:16:23.540 --> 00:16:26.870
is kind of typical where the core is
00:16:26.870 --> 00:16:33.910
initiating that first movement yeah
00:16:33.910 --> 00:16:35.930
sorry about the graphs there for a
00:16:35.930 --> 00:16:37.850
second but we'll cover them again in
00:16:37.850 --> 00:16:41.090
this one so there's no need to really go
00:16:41.090 --> 00:16:43.840
back but you'll see a very long
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.360
one-piece takeaway for this golfer so
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.000
you'll see that the felt like the red
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.970
line here most of the movement is
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:55.760
happening from that core rotation so the
00:16:55.760 --> 00:16:58.430
body is rotated you know good thirty
00:16:58.430 --> 00:17:01.850
degrees at this point but the wrists and
00:17:01.850 --> 00:17:03.680
arms haven't changed very much flat
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.790
lines mean no change so he's also had a
00:17:07.790 --> 00:17:10.240
little bit of a pressure shift or sway
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:13.400
you can see that he's shifted both his
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.320
upper body in his lower body a couple
00:17:15.320 --> 00:17:17.839
inches off the ball but he'll recollect
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.089
as he gets closer to the top of this
00:17:20.089 --> 00:17:24.079
wing so then the next part would be kind
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.709
of that setting phase so then he's
00:17:26.709 --> 00:17:29.480
continuing to load that glute so by
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:31.190
shifting off like this he's created some
00:17:31.190 --> 00:17:33.500
momentum going into the hip and now he's
00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:35.690
setting the arms as he winds up and
00:17:35.690 --> 00:17:39.470
continues to load that hip now the lats
00:17:39.470 --> 00:17:40.539
are
00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:43.490
lined up as well and he's gonna lead
00:17:43.490 --> 00:17:46.269
into that transition and you'll see
00:17:46.269 --> 00:17:51.890
let's see compared to start position so
00:17:51.890 --> 00:17:54.080
there's change of direction so lead arm
00:17:54.080 --> 00:17:59.360
is at 149 so he's on the the lower end
00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:03.320
of like 12 degrees of Bend I think he
00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:05.149
said the average is is closer to
00:18:05.149 --> 00:18:07.730
probably 2030 I haven't checked that one
00:18:07.730 --> 00:18:09.440
in a while so I can't remember if it's
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.929
20 or 30 off the top of my head I know
00:18:11.929 --> 00:18:15.470
it's 40 at impact that the trail arm has
00:18:15.470 --> 00:18:21.440
been sorry okay so again pretty classic
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:27.500
with the the wrist movements you won't
00:18:27.500 --> 00:18:30.880
see during the backswing a whole lot of
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.190
crazy wrist movements with your better
00:18:34.190 --> 00:18:37.370
better players sometimes you'll see the
00:18:37.370 --> 00:18:40.580
trail wrist go way up for amateurs when
00:18:40.580 --> 00:18:44.179
they're really like supinating and
00:18:44.179 --> 00:18:47.690
spinning the the forearm open but this
00:18:47.690 --> 00:18:49.610
is more typical where you'll see
00:18:49.610 --> 00:18:52.399
remembered down for the wrist graph on a
00:18:52.399 --> 00:18:55.399
mm is pronation up is supination so
00:18:55.399 --> 00:18:57.380
they're both going down pretty much the
00:18:57.380 --> 00:18:59.510
whole downswing or started the whole
00:18:59.510 --> 00:19:02.899
backswing which is pronation the
00:19:02.899 --> 00:19:05.240
Greenline just gives you an indication
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:07.460
of how they're doing the motorcycle in
00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:10.429
which direction but you won't see a ton
00:19:10.429 --> 00:19:13.700
of backswing stuff going on from the
00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:16.809
wrists so let's get those out of the way
00:19:16.809 --> 00:19:19.850
so the more I do think some of the more
00:19:19.850 --> 00:19:21.740
interesting things that when you're
00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:25.010
looking at the backswing positions are
00:19:25.010 --> 00:19:28.460
looking at the linear movements because
00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:31.820
that can give you little insight into
00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:35.299
what they're planning to do during the
00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:38.990
downswing or like you can see there's in
00:19:38.990 --> 00:19:40.820
this particular golfer there's a lot of
00:19:40.820 --> 00:19:43.370
fluid movement in the red lines so
00:19:43.370 --> 00:19:47.090
pretty big sway with both of them so
00:19:47.090 --> 00:19:49.100
there's definitely some lateral
00:19:49.100 --> 00:19:51.529
stability if we were looking at the
00:19:51.529 --> 00:19:52.830
pelvis
00:19:52.830 --> 00:19:54.900
especially compared to that first golfer
00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:57.300
who didn't really move his pelvis off
00:19:57.300 --> 00:20:00.840
the axis very much at all but you'll
00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:02.640
still see some drop with both of them
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.640
because he is gonna use his lower body
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:08.190
like I said it's very hard to actively
00:20:08.190 --> 00:20:10.740
engage your lower body if you've raised
00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:13.620
up in the downswing or in the backswing
00:20:13.620 --> 00:20:15.930
your best bet if you raise up in the
00:20:15.930 --> 00:20:17.670
backswing is you're gonna use your lower
00:20:17.670 --> 00:20:19.530
body vertically but you're not going to
00:20:19.530 --> 00:20:24.210
get a whole lot of rotation and then
00:20:24.210 --> 00:20:27.480
he's more classic in terms of not a lot
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.790
of shift towards the golf ball just a
00:20:29.790 --> 00:20:31.680
little bit with the pelvis so a tiny bit
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:37.260
of early extension his way graphs I
00:20:37.260 --> 00:20:39.270
would definitely be investigating that
00:20:39.270 --> 00:20:42.350
when we get into the fitness component
00:20:42.350 --> 00:20:46.110
and he's also I just happened to pick
00:20:46.110 --> 00:20:48.180
two this time who are a little bit more
00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:51.240
under rotated all right so he's only got
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.250
thirty four degrees of pelvis rotation
00:20:53.250 --> 00:21:00.750
and 82 of thorax rotation so now if I
00:21:00.750 --> 00:21:03.600
saw this I'd say okay there's a bunch of
00:21:03.600 --> 00:21:06.720
lateral movement under rotated with the
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.740
pelvis there's a good chance he's
00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:13.260
loading more his quads than he is
00:21:13.260 --> 00:21:15.360
loading his his glutes and his hips
00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:17.580
because the lateral movement is gonna
00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:19.890
make a whole lot more sense for loading
00:21:19.890 --> 00:21:22.280
the forefoot and the knee and the quad
00:21:22.280 --> 00:21:25.440
rather than loading the hips he's
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.320
getting enough obviously he's at or pro
00:21:27.320 --> 00:21:32.550
hits the ball a long way but it's just
00:21:32.550 --> 00:21:35.070
kind of one-one tendency that I would
00:21:35.070 --> 00:21:38.370
see he's also got a a fairly early start
00:21:38.370 --> 00:21:40.890
to his lower body so if I I take it back
00:21:40.890 --> 00:21:44.450
to where he's whoops I take it to
00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:49.320
roughly is where his pelvis changes
00:21:49.320 --> 00:21:55.110
direction so right around there is where
00:21:55.110 --> 00:21:57.660
these graphs over here the thorax angles
00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:59.760
and the pelvis angles are really
00:21:59.760 --> 00:22:02.250
starting to change so all that is just
00:22:02.250 --> 00:22:05.010
kind of like run off of the club we're
00:22:05.010 --> 00:22:07.370
creating a fair amount of
00:22:07.370 --> 00:22:09.900
it's almost too much leg which makes me
00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:11.370
think that he might not be using his
00:22:11.370 --> 00:22:13.440
transverse abdominus which would make
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.000
sense if he's not using his glutes
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.620
because the transverse abdominus that
00:22:16.620 --> 00:22:18.270
glutes the pelvic floor kind of all
00:22:18.270 --> 00:22:20.340
worked together and internal oblique
00:22:20.340 --> 00:22:22.950
those big four kind of all work together
00:22:22.950 --> 00:22:26.550
so there's a couple signs in here that
00:22:26.550 --> 00:22:29.850
even though he's got a good swing he's
00:22:29.850 --> 00:22:32.850
won on tour he's not using his core as
00:22:32.850 --> 00:22:35.820
optimally as he could and the backswing
00:22:35.820 --> 00:22:39.260
does show some of those indications
00:22:39.260 --> 00:22:42.300
maybe even easier than just looking at
00:22:42.300 --> 00:22:44.820
the body graphs in transition so I
00:22:44.820 --> 00:22:47.040
thought that would be interesting for
00:22:47.040 --> 00:22:49.380
you guys to see how I kind of jump
00:22:49.380 --> 00:22:51.480
through these graphs to see what muscles
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.130
and what met pathways might be being
00:22:53.130 --> 00:22:57.980
used all right so now let's look at a
00:22:57.980 --> 00:23:02.220
shorter hitter another PGA Tour winner
00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:05.070
but definitely not known for his ball
00:23:05.070 --> 00:23:11.640
striking especially distance wise okay
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:13.260
let's get rid of the graphs we don't
00:23:13.260 --> 00:23:18.450
need or don't care about you'll see
00:23:18.450 --> 00:23:20.610
axial velocity can be a little useful
00:23:20.610 --> 00:23:22.170
for seeing if they're opening the face
00:23:22.170 --> 00:23:25.040
closing in the face in the takeaway but
00:23:25.040 --> 00:23:27.929
in general I don't look at it too much
00:23:27.929 --> 00:23:33.510
in the backswing yeah so here's a little
00:23:33.510 --> 00:23:38.220
more normal so he starts at a hundred
00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:41.610
and seventy three degrees of lead arm
00:23:41.610 --> 00:23:44.910
straightness and then at the top of the
00:23:44.910 --> 00:23:45.720
backswing
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.660
so he's bent his arm 50 degrees you can
00:23:48.660 --> 00:23:51.840
see it alright he's a little bit older
00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:57.390
guy when he had his 3d collected and
00:23:57.390 --> 00:24:04.530
you'll see not for a he's not quite as
00:24:04.530 --> 00:24:06.600
good at the one-piece takeaway you can
00:24:06.600 --> 00:24:10.650
see that that trail wrist is starting to
00:24:10.650 --> 00:24:13.320
change direction instantly even before
00:24:13.320 --> 00:24:15.350
the takeaway and so is that lead wrist
00:24:15.350 --> 00:24:19.080
so he's kind of taking it away a little
00:24:19.080 --> 00:24:19.860
bit more with
00:24:19.860 --> 00:24:22.679
hands the the danger with taking it away
00:24:22.679 --> 00:24:24.960
more with the hands is you're going to
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:28.470
load your shoulders too early and then
00:24:28.470 --> 00:24:30.750
once you've loaded a muscle as much as
00:24:30.750 --> 00:24:33.120
it can it's going to want to get out of
00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:34.710
that loaded position so it can mess up
00:24:34.710 --> 00:24:37.799
the sequencing or the engine in the
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.100
downswing again he's Tour Pro winner so
00:24:41.100 --> 00:24:42.510
he's not going to be terrible with that
00:24:42.510 --> 00:24:46.230
but that's something to look out for
00:24:46.230 --> 00:24:49.559
you'll also see that he's got a little
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.820
less drop of the thorax he's got only
00:24:53.820 --> 00:24:56.280
thirty four degrees of side Bend so he's
00:24:56.280 --> 00:25:03.210
a little bit taller there that one's
00:25:03.210 --> 00:25:05.790
fine a little bit extra side Bend
00:25:05.790 --> 00:25:09.140
a bunch of pelvis rotation so not a huge
00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:12.169
differential or x-factor between the two
00:25:12.169 --> 00:25:15.890
so he's not getting a lot of separation
00:25:15.890 --> 00:25:21.390
in his core and he's bending those arms
00:25:21.390 --> 00:25:25.049
and lifting up a little bit more there's
00:25:25.049 --> 00:25:27.540
a good indication that he's firing more
00:25:27.540 --> 00:25:30.120
from his upper body than from his lower
00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:36.480
body but you'll see that some of the
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.360
guys who fire more so one thing I talked
00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:42.360
about if you fire more from your upper
00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:45.570
body you're you're more sensitive to
00:25:45.570 --> 00:25:48.270
sway in slide I think so you've got to
00:25:48.270 --> 00:25:51.240
be a little bit more precise with
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.850
controlling the centeredness of your
00:25:53.850 --> 00:25:56.490
pivot and he's pretty good with that in
00:25:56.490 --> 00:25:57.510
terms of the backswing you'll see
00:25:57.510 --> 00:26:00.570
everything is pretty tight a little bit
00:26:00.570 --> 00:26:02.070
of thrust in towards the golf ball so a
00:26:02.070 --> 00:26:03.750
little bit of early extension which
00:26:03.750 --> 00:26:05.460
again might help him pull down more a
00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:07.559
little bit from the arms especially
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.809
given the fact that when we look in
00:26:09.809 --> 00:26:13.400
transition he doesn't really come back
00:26:14.900 --> 00:26:21.600
and then if we look at the arms not a
00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:26.820
huge so one thing you might see as a
00:26:26.820 --> 00:26:29.520
correlation is oftentimes golfers who
00:26:29.520 --> 00:26:32.820
don't have a whole lot of trail wrist
00:26:32.820 --> 00:26:33.780
hinge
00:26:33.780 --> 00:26:36.060
we'll bend the arms more so because
00:26:36.060 --> 00:26:37.710
they're not loading the risk quite as
00:26:37.710 --> 00:26:39.990
much they'll get the little bit more
00:26:39.990 --> 00:26:41.940
load from the elbows it's not the worst
00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:44.930
thing this is definitely one of my like
00:26:44.930 --> 00:26:48.660
last things to try to correct and it's
00:26:48.660 --> 00:26:51.180
usually only because sometimes they have
00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:53.430
a hard time making a good transition
00:26:53.430 --> 00:26:54.870
from there they might get a little steep
00:26:54.870 --> 00:26:56.670
they might get a little forward lunge
00:26:56.670 --> 00:26:58.470
but if they don't have those then I'm
00:26:58.470 --> 00:27:01.830
probably not too worried about that arm
00:27:01.830 --> 00:27:04.980
Bend got a ton of lag shouldn't you be a
00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:07.350
longer hitter not only that pelvis or
00:27:07.350 --> 00:27:10.350
not with the way he's using his legs and
00:27:10.350 --> 00:27:14.670
arms okay so now amateurs you will start
00:27:14.670 --> 00:27:17.850
to see some stuff so we'll start with
00:27:17.850 --> 00:27:22.200
the amateurs amateur who doesn't hit the
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:27.690
ball too far and I've got the old layout
00:27:27.690 --> 00:27:31.490
hold on one second
00:27:37.230 --> 00:27:43.650
okay so we'll take out the four because
00:27:43.650 --> 00:27:45.510
again you're just not going to get a
00:27:45.510 --> 00:27:49.580
whole lot from any of these graphs here
00:27:49.580 --> 00:27:59.040
in the backswing and that's not the
00:27:59.040 --> 00:28:08.880
right lead arm okay there we go alright
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:10.919
so first thing we're gonna check is kind
00:28:10.919 --> 00:28:13.559
of the one-piece takeaway there's
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:15.630
definitely some wrist stuff going on
00:28:15.630 --> 00:28:17.429
and you'll notice it's almost the
00:28:17.429 --> 00:28:19.679
opposite there's a lot more wrist stuff
00:28:19.679 --> 00:28:22.260
going on in the takeaway and these lines
00:28:22.260 --> 00:28:23.970
are all flatlined for that first little
00:28:23.970 --> 00:28:28.530
phase not so much from the arms but
00:28:28.530 --> 00:28:30.210
definitely taking it away more with the
00:28:30.210 --> 00:28:35.850
hands as we go we'll play it through a
00:28:35.850 --> 00:28:39.809
little bit I'm not sure if you can see
00:28:39.809 --> 00:28:41.940
over here but this is a very different
00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:44.309
pattern in the Linear's like I said
00:28:44.309 --> 00:28:47.150
that's probably the most important stuff
00:28:47.150 --> 00:28:51.630
so through there he's already starting a
00:28:51.630 --> 00:28:54.270
lift as he goes up towards the top of
00:28:54.270 --> 00:28:57.390
swing he does get his pelvis down just
00:28:57.390 --> 00:29:01.140
slightly but his thorax is lifted two
00:29:01.140 --> 00:29:02.270
inches
00:29:02.270 --> 00:29:05.130
he's only got twenty two degrees of side
00:29:05.130 --> 00:29:07.500
Bend so he's a bit out half way compared
00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:10.770
to the tour average even with close to
00:29:10.770 --> 00:29:13.470
normal numbers in terms of rotation so
00:29:13.470 --> 00:29:16.049
there's not a lot of side Bend going on
00:29:16.049 --> 00:29:18.780
in this particular golfer you can see
00:29:18.780 --> 00:29:22.220
how level those shoulders are turning
00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:25.830
he's bent his arms about 70 degrees so
00:29:25.830 --> 00:29:28.020
for for many golfers I'm I showed you
00:29:28.020 --> 00:29:30.110
the one pro who's at about 50 degrees
00:29:30.110 --> 00:29:33.450
but the reason why trying to keep that
00:29:33.450 --> 00:29:35.250
arm straight can be helpful is this is
00:29:35.250 --> 00:29:37.559
not uncommon I've seen you know ninety a
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:40.169
hundred degrees of arm bend at the top
00:29:40.169 --> 00:29:44.730
for amateurs but the biggest things here
00:29:44.730 --> 00:29:49.040
is the the lift and the the sway is not
00:29:49.040 --> 00:29:51.000
awful awful
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.100
but the lift in the backswing combined
00:29:53.100 --> 00:29:54.930
with the flat shoulder plane he's
00:29:54.930 --> 00:29:57.660
definitely not loading his lower body so
00:29:57.660 --> 00:30:00.570
that's not gonna fire at the top of
00:30:00.570 --> 00:30:03.480
swing and here's a golfer where you'll
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:06.360
see a little bit more so there's that
00:30:06.360 --> 00:30:10.970
supination early in the takeaway so if I
00:30:10.970 --> 00:30:16.680
assume that in so you can see so right
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.650
through there he's kind of like rolling
00:30:19.650 --> 00:30:23.010
that arm open so typically when golfers
00:30:23.010 --> 00:30:26.220
start trying to supinate that front or
00:30:26.220 --> 00:30:29.090
the sorry the right arm the trail arm
00:30:29.090 --> 00:30:32.220
you'll see it sacrifices their one-piece
00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:35.880
takeaway look but we'll talk more about
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:38.180
that in transition because you'll see
00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:41.940
you know there are definitely some
00:30:41.940 --> 00:30:44.640
differences like this guy gets way more
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.510
extended at the top of the swing but
00:30:47.510 --> 00:30:50.580
overall some of the patterns of the arm
00:30:50.580 --> 00:30:53.810
movements in the backswing are closest
00:30:53.810 --> 00:30:56.820
the downswing has some kind of major
00:30:56.820 --> 00:30:59.910
differences but the backswing other than
00:30:59.910 --> 00:31:02.910
that little forearm roll bringing the
00:31:02.910 --> 00:31:06.690
club inside not a terrible change in the
00:31:06.690 --> 00:31:12.750
backswing I've forgot to mention in the
00:31:12.750 --> 00:31:16.140
other two looking at this way oftentimes
00:31:16.140 --> 00:31:20.280
so there's I've got a video on the
00:31:20.280 --> 00:31:22.320
lateral versus rotation where I talk
00:31:22.320 --> 00:31:23.310
about there's kind of two different
00:31:23.310 --> 00:31:26.310
patterns so there's guys who will sway
00:31:26.310 --> 00:31:29.130
and then load late or they'll just sway
00:31:29.130 --> 00:31:32.070
once and then kind of fire so he's he's
00:31:32.070 --> 00:31:35.760
a loader a late later loader it's harder
00:31:35.760 --> 00:31:39.480
to say but you'll see that he gets like
00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:41.430
he still gets the sequencing going
00:31:41.430 --> 00:31:42.720
before the top of the swing that's not
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.430
his big problem his big problem is more
00:31:44.430 --> 00:31:48.780
that lift and the like the the lift flat
00:31:48.780 --> 00:31:50.940
shoulder plane is basically revealing
00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:52.620
that his engine is more of that chop
00:31:52.620 --> 00:31:56.330
pull down a lot less of the lower body
00:31:56.330 --> 00:31:58.620
all right I want to get into the body
00:31:58.620 --> 00:32:01.650
stuff so let's look at one more so
00:32:01.650 --> 00:32:04.620
here's a long hitting
00:32:04.620 --> 00:32:08.249
amateur about a things like a 15
00:32:08.249 --> 00:32:16.169
handicap and same thing with the arm
00:32:16.169 --> 00:32:27.350
Bend I'll have to fix that later okay so
00:32:27.350 --> 00:32:30.059
this golfer does a good job of keeping
00:32:30.059 --> 00:32:33.659
that arm straight all right look at how
00:32:33.659 --> 00:32:36.149
locked that right arm the left arm even
00:32:36.149 --> 00:32:39.299
straightens nothing moving so the
00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:41.460
one-piece takeaway does seem to
00:32:41.460 --> 00:32:43.830
correlate a little bit with the longer
00:32:43.830 --> 00:32:47.580
hitter model if you're if you're
00:32:47.580 --> 00:32:52.409
bringing it back with the if you're
00:32:52.409 --> 00:32:54.179
bringing it back with the arms and hands
00:32:54.179 --> 00:32:55.950
I think you're going get to the end
00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:57.720
range of those stretches and therefore
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.720
you're going to fire them sooner but if
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.299
we keep going up to the top of his swing
00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:07.499
let's see if there's anything that kind
00:33:07.499 --> 00:33:15.259
of jumps out so a little under rotated
00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:19.799
and a little flexed forward and under
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.470
side bent all right so this guy has a
00:33:22.470 --> 00:33:25.580
little bit more of a kick or rounded
00:33:25.580 --> 00:33:28.200
shoulder look at the top of the swing so
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:29.700
he doesn't get very much extension
00:33:29.700 --> 00:33:32.029
that'll limit some of his rotation looks
00:33:32.029 --> 00:33:37.320
he's get he gets a fair amount of that
00:33:37.320 --> 00:33:42.869
right arm Bend and it's an interesting
00:33:42.869 --> 00:33:44.519
one because if you look at it on video
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:50.009
you'd say like he has a ton of a wrist
00:33:50.009 --> 00:33:53.789
set but then if you if you dig into it
00:33:53.789 --> 00:33:58.049
and look at it from behind it mostly
00:33:58.049 --> 00:33:59.999
just looks like it has a lot of wrist
00:33:59.999 --> 00:34:01.889
set because of how narrow this right
00:34:01.889 --> 00:34:04.470
elbow got in because of his body staying
00:34:04.470 --> 00:34:10.109
more in that flexed posture so it's not
00:34:10.109 --> 00:34:13.319
quite as much wrist set as you would
00:34:13.319 --> 00:34:15.450
think just by looking at it on video
00:34:15.450 --> 00:34:17.220
because I originally thought that would
00:34:17.220 --> 00:34:18.419
that was his main power
00:34:18.419 --> 00:34:20.970
our source but then we got him on 3d and
00:34:20.970 --> 00:34:26.010
no didn't look that way there you can
00:34:26.010 --> 00:34:27.569
see more of his main power source he's
00:34:27.569 --> 00:34:29.700
more of an upper body spin and just kind
00:34:29.700 --> 00:34:32.040
of holds on to those those angles you'll
00:34:32.040 --> 00:34:34.740
see when we get in the downswing next
00:34:34.740 --> 00:34:37.079
time we'll talk about how long he holds
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.819
that radial
00:34:38.819 --> 00:34:41.700
how much trouble that has and how he he
00:34:41.700 --> 00:34:46.319
reaches a fair amount of his extension
00:34:46.319 --> 00:34:48.419
of his wrist but he does it like too
00:34:48.419 --> 00:34:51.089
soon too soon so the maximum wrist
00:34:51.089 --> 00:34:52.799
stretch should be meet reached on the
00:34:52.799 --> 00:34:55.230
downswing and he's definitely doing it
00:34:55.230 --> 00:34:58.500
here at the top of the swing he's also
00:34:58.500 --> 00:35:01.559
got a little bit of the lift that's much
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:05.490
more common to see with the amateur
00:35:05.490 --> 00:35:07.500
golfer is the lift lack of side Bend
00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:10.079
that's a classic I'm going to use my
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:13.200
shoulders my upper body to pull down to
00:35:13.200 --> 00:35:15.270
create speed versus I'm going to push
00:35:15.270 --> 00:35:18.150
against the ground and try to create
00:35:18.150 --> 00:35:20.690
speed with my legs which that's
00:35:20.690 --> 00:35:22.710
especially since we're looking at
00:35:22.710 --> 00:35:25.109
drivers that's not a great pattern to
00:35:25.109 --> 00:35:28.500
see okay
00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:30.540
nothing else I really want to cover in
00:35:30.540 --> 00:35:31.890
here if there's any questions let me
00:35:31.890 --> 00:35:35.339
know I'll leave this in the background
00:35:35.339 --> 00:35:39.710
and we'll get back into the powerpoints
00:35:39.710 --> 00:35:42.150
so in your slides I broke it up into the
00:35:42.150 --> 00:35:44.010
body and the arms just to make it easier
00:35:44.010 --> 00:35:51.329
to read okay so I kind of mentioned this
00:35:51.329 --> 00:35:59.750
will be let's get to the okay so I
00:35:59.750 --> 00:36:03.540
mentioned in the email leading into this
00:36:03.540 --> 00:36:09.270
one that my plan is to do probably can't
00:36:09.270 --> 00:36:10.500
see in the mouse if I do this way but
00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:12.000
there will be less on the screen so
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:13.799
it'll probably be more important to be
00:36:13.799 --> 00:36:15.270
able to see my movements and
00:36:15.270 --> 00:36:18.510
demonstrations and stuff so I'm just
00:36:18.510 --> 00:36:22.049
gonna give kind of some general areas to
00:36:22.049 --> 00:36:25.260
focus on if you're golfer is struggling
00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:29.460
with one part of his body or another my
00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:31.650
goal is not to be comfy
00:36:31.650 --> 00:36:33.900
comprehensive with this but to give you
00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:37.340
a few of the areas that I think in my
00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:40.590
you know in my time of study these have
00:36:40.590 --> 00:36:45.570
been some of the most important pieces
00:36:45.570 --> 00:36:51.270
to get working in order to not sabotage
00:36:51.270 --> 00:36:53.970
your efforts so I mentioned the foot
00:36:53.970 --> 00:36:56.340
I'll give you a few of the what I think
00:36:56.340 --> 00:37:00.420
are the the best foot exercises because
00:37:00.420 --> 00:37:03.360
I've you know other than like scrunching
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:08.840
a towel there's not a whole lot of foot
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:11.850
exercises given the most golfers or most
00:37:11.850 --> 00:37:14.370
athletes but I do think that having a
00:37:14.370 --> 00:37:16.350
real strong connection to the ground is
00:37:16.350 --> 00:37:24.890
important so there are four big
00:37:24.890 --> 00:37:27.990
intrinsic foot exercises so an intrinsic
00:37:27.990 --> 00:37:30.000
muscle is like the stabilizer muscles
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.450
and stabilizer muscles don't cross the
00:37:33.450 --> 00:37:36.900
the big joints so like for example your
00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:41.220
rotator cuff they all cross just the the
00:37:41.220 --> 00:37:43.080
shoulder but then you're bigger joints
00:37:43.080 --> 00:37:45.120
like your lat and your PEC they'll cross
00:37:45.120 --> 00:37:47.820
multiple joints so the multi joint
00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:50.460
muscles are typically movers and then
00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:53.160
the intrinsic or single joint muscles
00:37:53.160 --> 00:37:55.740
are typically the stabilizers so for the
00:37:55.740 --> 00:38:00.210
foot you're gonna have lower this just a
00:38:00.210 --> 00:38:04.290
little bit let's say this is my foot
00:38:04.290 --> 00:38:06.480
my foots on the ground you're going to
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.930
lift sorry my thumb is the big toe not
00:38:09.930 --> 00:38:13.050
my index finger so you're going to have
00:38:13.050 --> 00:38:14.370
your foot on the ground and then you're
00:38:14.370 --> 00:38:16.440
gonna lift the big toe then your foot on
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:18.300
the ground and you're gonna lift the
00:38:18.300 --> 00:38:21.630
last four then you're going to try and
00:38:21.630 --> 00:38:24.300
squeeze all your toes together and then
00:38:24.300 --> 00:38:26.670
you're going to try and separate and you
00:38:26.670 --> 00:38:29.070
can really go through that circuit as
00:38:29.070 --> 00:38:35.310
many times as you want so let's see if
00:38:35.310 --> 00:38:36.780
we can do it with a knee bend it's a
00:38:36.780 --> 00:38:37.950
little tougher because I'm gonna put
00:38:37.950 --> 00:38:38.270
some
00:38:38.270 --> 00:38:40.820
my muscles on stretch so if I've got my
00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:45.500
my foot there so there's the big toe and
00:38:45.500 --> 00:38:48.260
then the lateral four and then you
00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:52.820
squeeze a little tougher on the raise so
00:38:52.820 --> 00:38:54.410
you'll squeeze your toes together you
00:38:54.410 --> 00:38:56.750
can see I've got a little dysfunction in
00:38:56.750 --> 00:39:00.040
that third toe and then you're going to
00:39:00.040 --> 00:39:03.140
try and pull the feet apart and again I
00:39:03.140 --> 00:39:11.870
think that's mostly because of the so
00:39:11.870 --> 00:39:15.850
you'll see it's easiest to do like
00:39:15.850 --> 00:39:18.380
standing compared to having that foot
00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:19.850
radius because when I raise that foot
00:39:19.850 --> 00:39:21.530
it's already activating some of these
00:39:21.530 --> 00:39:26.570
muscles but that piece those four
00:39:26.570 --> 00:39:29.560
exercises right there are really helpful
00:39:29.560 --> 00:39:33.530
for getting like your ability to pronate
00:39:33.530 --> 00:39:36.950
and supinate your ability to flex and
00:39:36.950 --> 00:39:39.410
extend so it's highly if you lose that
00:39:39.410 --> 00:39:41.900
you're gonna lose dorsiflexion you're
00:39:41.900 --> 00:39:43.580
gonna lose a lot of the ankle movements
00:39:43.580 --> 00:39:47.570
as well the other ones that I like to do
00:39:47.570 --> 00:39:50.530
or balance exercises associated with the
00:39:50.530 --> 00:39:53.780
navicular and the cuboid that kind of if
00:39:53.780 --> 00:39:56.180
you remember from that talk in one of
00:39:56.180 --> 00:39:58.640
the earlier classes that movement there
00:39:58.640 --> 00:40:00.670
is what creates pronation supination
00:40:00.670 --> 00:40:04.580
which is a lot of the component to the
00:40:04.580 --> 00:40:07.880
lateral movement here and if you have a
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:11.960
hard time with the navicular oftentimes
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:13.190
you'll have a harder time with the glute
00:40:13.190 --> 00:40:18.080
so again I'm not opposed to towel
00:40:18.080 --> 00:40:21.560
crunches but I would do the the four
00:40:21.560 --> 00:40:24.860
little intrinsic foot exercises first so
00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:27.440
that you can get the the towel movement
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:29.960
to be more of a short foot kind of like
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:34.550
this rather than a toe Carl first thing
00:40:34.550 --> 00:40:37.640
I should point for the golf pros on the
00:40:37.640 --> 00:40:39.830
call this is gonna move a little quick
00:40:39.830 --> 00:40:41.810
and probably feel tough but for the
00:40:41.810 --> 00:40:42.950
trainer's who've had some of these
00:40:42.950 --> 00:40:45.080
fitness questions coming in hopefully
00:40:45.080 --> 00:40:46.610
this will give you some good insights
00:40:46.610 --> 00:40:51.380
and ideas okay looking at the knee
00:40:51.380 --> 00:40:56.460
the knee I would say your your big list
00:40:56.460 --> 00:41:00.120
of areas to focus on is knee rotation um
00:41:00.120 --> 00:41:03.090
every kind of guy who I've ever talked
00:41:03.090 --> 00:41:05.520
to specializes in knee rehab says that
00:41:05.520 --> 00:41:08.010
the most important thing is to get that
00:41:08.010 --> 00:41:11.070
slight knee rotation functioning
00:41:11.070 --> 00:41:13.920
properly and then flexion extension is
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:18.450
pretty easy er easy that's usually done
00:41:18.450 --> 00:41:21.600
with some manual therapy or things that
00:41:21.600 --> 00:41:25.040
are called cars or there's some kind of
00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:27.690
joint isolation exercises where you can
00:41:27.690 --> 00:41:29.970
get some of the rotation but making sure
00:41:29.970 --> 00:41:30.990
that you're not getting it from the
00:41:30.990 --> 00:41:32.310
ankle that you're actually getting it
00:41:32.310 --> 00:41:35.040
from the tibia rotating so that bone
00:41:35.040 --> 00:41:38.490
moving compared to the femur and then
00:41:38.490 --> 00:41:42.060
the other key component here is all this
00:41:42.060 --> 00:41:44.750
stuff will get compressed but there's no
00:41:44.750 --> 00:41:47.550
there's no intrinsic muscles that can
00:41:47.550 --> 00:41:51.000
create space so in in some of these
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.270
classes he talks about Aldo's which are
00:41:53.270 --> 00:41:55.980
using the intrinsic to create more space
00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:56.760
in the joint
00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:59.070
there's no aldol for the knee which
00:41:59.070 --> 00:42:01.350
means you need to maintain flexibility
00:42:01.350 --> 00:42:02.580
to decompress the joint
00:42:02.580 --> 00:42:04.770
you can't strengthen the muscles that
00:42:04.770 --> 00:42:07.590
decompress the joint so fly thigh
00:42:07.590 --> 00:42:09.600
flexibility whether it's quadriceps
00:42:09.600 --> 00:42:14.300
adductors you know the hamstring group
00:42:14.300 --> 00:42:19.020
IT band that's just lateralis if you
00:42:19.020 --> 00:42:20.910
break them into those four chunks and
00:42:20.910 --> 00:42:24.720
kind of investigate usually some of the
00:42:24.720 --> 00:42:27.590
adductors some of the quad and then
00:42:27.590 --> 00:42:30.660
oftentimes one of the hamstrings or or
00:42:30.660 --> 00:42:33.120
both if you get those usually you can
00:42:33.120 --> 00:42:35.280
help alleviate some of that compression
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:38.250
in the knee but regardless to get fluid
00:42:38.250 --> 00:42:39.630
moving properly you need to maintain
00:42:39.630 --> 00:42:46.050
that knee rotation just check-in
00:42:46.050 --> 00:42:52.580
something okay so now we've got the hip
00:42:52.580 --> 00:42:56.070
the hip when you especially as it
00:42:56.070 --> 00:42:58.200
relates to golf but when you talk to
00:42:58.200 --> 00:43:00.600
people who specialize more in hip rehab
00:43:00.600 --> 00:43:02.000
they'll tell you the number one
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:03.620
predictor of needing a hip replacement
00:43:03.620 --> 00:43:09.430
is internal rotation of the hip so doing
00:43:09.430 --> 00:43:13.100
stretches and Mobe exercises to maintain
00:43:13.100 --> 00:43:15.170
the internal rotation the hip is vitally
00:43:15.170 --> 00:43:18.020
important one of the most important
00:43:18.020 --> 00:43:20.420
stretches for maintaining internal
00:43:20.420 --> 00:43:22.370
rotation of the hip is the obturator
00:43:22.370 --> 00:43:25.000
internus now I'll show you that one
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:27.530
there's a lot of details that doing
00:43:27.530 --> 00:43:30.260
stuff correctly but there's enough like
00:43:30.260 --> 00:43:32.540
kind of bootleg versions of the
00:43:32.540 --> 00:43:34.760
obturator internus stretch it's just the
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:42.320
9090 stretch so and be gentle with this
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.050
if you've never done it before but
00:43:45.050 --> 00:44:18.740
basically so you're sitting so now to do
00:44:18.740 --> 00:44:20.360
the stretch you're going to try and sit
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.430
up tall and then you're going to try and
00:44:22.430 --> 00:44:24.500
turn your belly button in towards the
00:44:24.500 --> 00:44:27.140
back leg while sitting up tall if you
00:44:27.140 --> 00:44:33.860
can you also are trying to keep this
00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:38.090
knee down as you rotate so I don't want
00:44:38.090 --> 00:44:47.420
to be like I have way more stretch right
00:44:47.420 --> 00:44:51.190
here than I did
00:45:01.090 --> 00:45:03.410
basically I'm turning my belly button
00:45:03.410 --> 00:45:05.230
while staying tall that keeps this on
00:45:05.230 --> 00:45:12.550
stretch as opposed to turning my entire
00:45:12.590 --> 00:45:16.250
if we the full and stretch I would sit
00:45:16.250 --> 00:45:27.170
up nice and tall push this down that
00:45:27.170 --> 00:45:30.710
would create the deepest level of
00:45:30.710 --> 00:45:38.450
stretch by getting the most so the way I
00:45:38.450 --> 00:45:45.920
explain stretching like that is if I've
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:48.590
got a towel my goal is to basically
00:45:48.590 --> 00:45:52.310
stretch the entire towel so if I just
00:45:52.310 --> 00:45:54.410
kind of like do the basic motion then
00:45:54.410 --> 00:45:55.940
I'm just stretching like this part but
00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:57.020
there's a whole bunch of towel that's
00:45:57.020 --> 00:46:01.480
not under tension but if I were to then
00:46:02.110 --> 00:46:06.110
like move my wrists and my ribs and like
00:46:06.110 --> 00:46:08.150
other parts I could start to get more
00:46:08.150 --> 00:46:09.710
and more of this towel in tension
00:46:09.710 --> 00:46:12.140
because I'd be pulling from all the
00:46:12.140 --> 00:46:13.790
different directions and that's
00:46:13.790 --> 00:46:17.180
essentially what good stretching is good
00:46:17.180 --> 00:46:18.950
myofascial stretching is pulling
00:46:18.950 --> 00:46:22.250
everything in each direction not just
00:46:22.250 --> 00:46:26.410
like one one line of force like you can
00:46:26.410 --> 00:46:29.540
if you look at the little model over
00:46:29.540 --> 00:46:31.040
there you could see that in order to
00:46:31.040 --> 00:46:34.190
stretch all those different fibers you'd
00:46:34.190 --> 00:46:38.120
have to pull a little bit differently to
00:46:38.120 --> 00:46:40.430
get each fiber and so if you can make
00:46:40.430 --> 00:46:42.680
those little adjustments you can get the
00:46:42.680 --> 00:46:48.020
tighter part of the of the fascia so
00:46:48.020 --> 00:46:50.300
these are you know glute activation I'm
00:46:50.300 --> 00:46:52.910
sure all you guys know and then these
00:46:52.910 --> 00:46:54.950
are kind of your major groups to make
00:46:54.950 --> 00:46:56.300
sure that you're stretching but I put up
00:46:56.300 --> 00:46:58.340
to rate or internus up top because I
00:46:58.340 --> 00:46:59.810
think that one's really critical for
00:46:59.810 --> 00:47:06.620
golf that one in two so as okay lumbar
00:47:06.620 --> 00:47:11.180
spine this is one of the common causes
00:47:11.180 --> 00:47:14.510
of golfers getting pissed when they have
00:47:14.510 --> 00:47:19.850
some back pain so the the recipe for
00:47:19.850 --> 00:47:23.210
improving lower lower back pain it can
00:47:23.210 --> 00:47:26.370
be quite complicated because you
00:47:26.370 --> 00:47:30.630
all your organs and and stuff that can
00:47:30.630 --> 00:47:32.160
create some of this rotations
00:47:32.160 --> 00:47:34.320
there's tons of ligaments so those can
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.530
be quite painful the SI joint itself if
00:47:37.530 --> 00:47:40.410
you remember from the the talk on that
00:47:40.410 --> 00:47:44.430
is quite complicated and easy to get out
00:47:44.430 --> 00:47:47.840
and very painful when it's irritated but
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:52.980
if you maintain transverse abdominus
00:47:52.980 --> 00:47:55.410
which is that weight belt you could see
00:47:55.410 --> 00:47:58.110
when that tightens it kind of it like
00:47:58.110 --> 00:48:00.180
lifts and creates almost the
00:48:00.180 --> 00:48:04.020
decompression force it's got a key
00:48:04.020 --> 00:48:05.490
relationship with the diaphragm we'll
00:48:05.490 --> 00:48:07.890
talk about in the ribs and the pelvic
00:48:07.890 --> 00:48:09.570
floor if you keep the pelvic floor and
00:48:09.570 --> 00:48:11.820
the transverse abdominis strong or
00:48:11.820 --> 00:48:15.510
active and then if you keep flexibility
00:48:15.510 --> 00:48:18.240
in the psoas muscle which goes from here
00:48:18.240 --> 00:48:20.790
to here or in the quads which go from
00:48:20.790 --> 00:48:25.200
there to there or in the purest form
00:48:25.200 --> 00:48:29.070
piriformis and if you maintain a roughly
00:48:29.070 --> 00:48:32.490
level pelvis which you can do with Aldo
00:48:32.490 --> 00:48:35.700
is or chiropractic or lots of different
00:48:35.700 --> 00:48:38.190
techniques that's usually a pretty solid
00:48:38.190 --> 00:48:42.930
recipe for back pain there's a couple
00:48:42.930 --> 00:48:45.510
kind of magic you know if you if you
00:48:45.510 --> 00:48:49.200
improve the SI joint that's hugely
00:48:49.200 --> 00:48:52.710
important for for back pain and if you
00:48:52.710 --> 00:48:55.530
improve like I said the psoas is just
00:48:55.530 --> 00:48:58.230
such a pesky muscle for back pain
00:48:58.230 --> 00:48:59.880
because it actually connects on the
00:48:59.880 --> 00:49:02.430
discs and so when it's tight it will
00:49:02.430 --> 00:49:05.750
pull the discs slightly forward
00:49:05.750 --> 00:49:07.950
minimizing their height creating a lot
00:49:07.950 --> 00:49:13.260
more compression so the the simple stuff
00:49:13.260 --> 00:49:19.350
for TVA exercises is I like I learned
00:49:19.350 --> 00:49:24.750
from da-5 breath activation so basically
00:49:24.750 --> 00:49:27.300
imagine I'm flat on the ground you've
00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:29.160
probably done dead bugs and bird dogs
00:49:29.160 --> 00:49:32.750
and things like that before well if i
00:49:32.750 --> 00:49:36.120
activate my TVA which is drawing in so
00:49:36.120 --> 00:49:38.850
it's pulling in like this and then
00:49:38.850 --> 00:49:41.730
I'm gonna try and maintain that with the
00:49:41.730 --> 00:49:44.460
pelvic floor activation when I breathe
00:49:44.460 --> 00:49:47.580
in the air is gonna want to expand it if
00:49:47.580 --> 00:49:50.490
I contract against that air it's almost
00:49:50.490 --> 00:49:54.810
like increasing the weight so I'm
00:49:54.810 --> 00:49:56.970
pulling in and then I'll usually do like
00:49:56.970 --> 00:50:00.240
five breaths where I'm trying to breathe
00:50:00.240 --> 00:50:02.010
into my stomach and I'm trying to
00:50:02.010 --> 00:50:04.380
tighten the ABS so that it can't expand
00:50:04.380 --> 00:50:09.500
and that does a really good job of
00:50:09.500 --> 00:50:11.580
reinforcing or building some more
00:50:11.580 --> 00:50:13.770
strength and tone in transverse
00:50:13.770 --> 00:50:21.450
abdominus and pelvic floor okay rib cage
00:50:21.450 --> 00:50:25.110
if you breathe really well then barring
00:50:25.110 --> 00:50:27.630
some major trauma your your ribs and
00:50:27.630 --> 00:50:30.750
your your your thoracic spine will
00:50:30.750 --> 00:50:34.500
typically move pretty well but if you if
00:50:34.500 --> 00:50:37.050
you lose that function then you have to
00:50:37.050 --> 00:50:39.030
get the mobility in the ribs which can
00:50:39.030 --> 00:50:43.740
come from rebelde Azur stretching of the
00:50:43.740 --> 00:50:47.450
diaphragm stretching of the intercostals
00:50:47.450 --> 00:50:50.670
you know the the big movements like the
00:50:50.670 --> 00:50:55.650
lats and the ABS do play a role but it's
00:50:55.650 --> 00:50:57.270
some of these deeper joints that we
00:50:57.270 --> 00:51:00.330
talked about that are quite important
00:51:00.330 --> 00:51:03.420
and what you'll see is this doesn't do a
00:51:03.420 --> 00:51:05.910
great job of showing it but the psoas
00:51:05.910 --> 00:51:08.250
muscle actually goes up through the
00:51:08.250 --> 00:51:12.720
diaphragm and the diaphragm connects all
00:51:12.720 --> 00:51:17.220
the way down to the pelvic floor so if
00:51:17.220 --> 00:51:19.500
the psoas muscle is tight and influences
00:51:19.500 --> 00:51:21.990
the diaphragm if the pelvic floor muscle
00:51:21.990 --> 00:51:24.030
doesn't have enough tension then the
00:51:24.030 --> 00:51:26.370
diaphragm can't like have a strong
00:51:26.370 --> 00:51:29.190
enough anchor to pull down so that's why
00:51:29.190 --> 00:51:36.030
I included this slide here where if you
00:51:36.030 --> 00:51:38.730
followed this this pelvic floor the
00:51:38.730 --> 00:51:40.410
muscle and the fibers go all the way up
00:51:40.410 --> 00:51:42.390
the front of the spine and become the
00:51:42.390 --> 00:51:44.460
diaphragm so there's one chain that goes
00:51:44.460 --> 00:51:47.280
all the way down from there to there and
00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:50.430
it's super important for being able to
00:51:50.430 --> 00:51:52.210
both mobilize your ribs as well
00:51:52.210 --> 00:51:56.530
stabilize your pelvis but basic
00:51:56.530 --> 00:51:59.890
breathing of getting roughly two-thirds
00:51:59.890 --> 00:52:02.230
one-third so if you're taking a breath
00:52:02.230 --> 00:52:09.010
then like the first two-thirds of the
00:52:09.010 --> 00:52:11.020
movement should be all more in your
00:52:11.020 --> 00:52:12.910
stomach and abdomen and then the last
00:52:12.910 --> 00:52:16.930
third is more in your chest and upper
00:52:16.930 --> 00:52:19.119
body there's tons and tons of breathing
00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:22.720
exercises out there it's probably like I
00:52:22.720 --> 00:52:25.480
recommend yoga for a lot of golfers
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:27.730
purely for the breathing aspect not
00:52:27.730 --> 00:52:29.349
really because I think that yoga
00:52:29.349 --> 00:52:32.050
stretches are better than individual
00:52:32.050 --> 00:52:35.020
stretches but because they folk a good
00:52:35.020 --> 00:52:37.000
yoga class will focus on breathing just
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:42.329
as much as the position all right
00:52:42.329 --> 00:52:45.369
shoulder so if you remember from the
00:52:45.369 --> 00:52:47.230
webinar on the shoulder we got five
00:52:47.230 --> 00:52:50.380
joints so the shoulder complex is
00:52:50.380 --> 00:52:52.720
actually 10 joints five on each side but
00:52:52.720 --> 00:52:55.660
you've got your your s SI joint your AC
00:52:55.660 --> 00:52:58.690
joint your glenohumeral joint those are
00:52:58.690 --> 00:53:00.790
the three kind of synovial joints and
00:53:00.790 --> 00:53:03.280
then you have your sub deltoid Ian's
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:05.710
where the simple interest for natus or
00:53:05.710 --> 00:53:07.599
sorry supraspinatus sits and then you've
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:12.760
got your scapula thoracic joint this is
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:14.829
a top-down view one of the most
00:53:14.829 --> 00:53:16.690
important things for shoulder health is
00:53:16.690 --> 00:53:18.609
maintaining this is called the pinch
00:53:18.609 --> 00:53:22.000
between the scapula and the clavicle and
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:26.099
so being able to basically like move
00:53:26.099 --> 00:53:30.780
that through its full range of motion is
00:53:30.780 --> 00:53:34.780
critical to keeping the glenohumeral
00:53:34.780 --> 00:53:37.839
joint rotating so a lot of golfers who
00:53:37.839 --> 00:53:40.240
get really stuck in not being able to
00:53:40.240 --> 00:53:43.329
move the glenohumeral joint part of it
00:53:43.329 --> 00:53:46.180
is because there's scapula over their
00:53:46.180 --> 00:53:49.680
clavicle is kind of frozen or locked up
00:53:49.680 --> 00:53:54.640
one or two really good exercises that
00:53:54.640 --> 00:53:56.520
work on just kind of the general health
00:53:56.520 --> 00:54:00.970
and then so I'll do that for the scapula
00:54:00.970 --> 00:54:02.109
clavicle and then we'll talk about
00:54:02.109 --> 00:54:05.920
proprioception so two really easy extra
00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:07.869
sizes for working on the scapula health
00:54:07.869 --> 00:54:10.329
I should say easy but they're they're
00:54:10.329 --> 00:54:14.619
highly detailed is the one is incredibly
00:54:14.619 --> 00:54:16.390
simple you're you're basically going to
00:54:16.390 --> 00:54:18.849
try to get your spine as straight as you
00:54:18.849 --> 00:54:19.540
can
00:54:19.540 --> 00:54:23.650
so everything in line their elbows out
00:54:23.650 --> 00:54:25.599
to your sides and then you're going to
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:28.710
bring one hand in front one hand behind
00:54:28.710 --> 00:54:31.780
so I'm basically bringing my elbows back
00:54:31.780 --> 00:54:34.089
almost like I'm doing a reverse fly but
00:54:34.089 --> 00:54:35.799
I'm making sure that I'm not arching my
00:54:35.799 --> 00:54:38.410
my spine I'm keeping all that in
00:54:38.410 --> 00:54:40.750
alignment and while I'm doing that
00:54:40.750 --> 00:54:42.809
isometric hold
00:54:42.809 --> 00:54:45.790
I'm moving one arm in front one arm
00:54:45.790 --> 00:54:51.190
behind it looks so really simple but
00:54:51.190 --> 00:54:54.130
it's great for getting the movement
00:54:54.130 --> 00:54:56.260
between the shoulder blade and the ribs
00:54:56.260 --> 00:55:00.490
working better then in the analytic
00:55:00.490 --> 00:55:05.230
warm-up video I have little I don't have
00:55:05.230 --> 00:55:07.089
a great name for this I think they call
00:55:07.089 --> 00:55:12.390
it seven part shoulder neck but or its
00:55:12.390 --> 00:55:15.339
cervical thoracic integration but
00:55:15.339 --> 00:55:16.809
basically arms out in front I'm gonna
00:55:16.809 --> 00:55:19.059
squeeze my shoulder blades I'm still
00:55:19.059 --> 00:55:21.640
trying to keep that spine straight as I
00:55:21.640 --> 00:55:24.549
bring this in in fact I shouldn't even
00:55:24.549 --> 00:55:27.220
demonstrate it none of you're a very few
00:55:27.220 --> 00:55:29.049
of your patients or clients will be able
00:55:29.049 --> 00:55:30.549
to do it with their hands like this so
00:55:30.549 --> 00:55:32.140
you have them hold a golf club and the
00:55:32.140 --> 00:55:34.240
closer they can get the harder it is but
00:55:34.240 --> 00:55:35.799
you're going to squeeze the shoulder
00:55:35.799 --> 00:55:38.980
blades bring this up without bringing
00:55:38.980 --> 00:55:41.140
your head forward try and bring this
00:55:41.140 --> 00:55:43.480
down and again making sure that it
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:44.950
doesn't go that way but the shoulders
00:55:44.950 --> 00:55:48.790
are in good alignment back up back down
00:55:48.790 --> 00:55:50.410
so the the toughest one is right here
00:55:50.410 --> 00:55:54.099
you will either arch you will round or
00:55:54.099 --> 00:55:56.619
you will push your head forward so
00:55:56.619 --> 00:55:58.180
making sure that none of that is
00:55:58.180 --> 00:56:01.720
happening it's not just a great warm-up
00:56:01.720 --> 00:56:04.059
for the shoulder it actually like gets
00:56:04.059 --> 00:56:06.030
all the shoulder and neck muscles
00:56:06.030 --> 00:56:11.559
working together cervical spine if you
00:56:11.559 --> 00:56:14.500
have a issue there don't be scared to
00:56:14.500 --> 00:56:17.380
get help because soft tissue especially
00:56:17.380 --> 00:56:19.610
in this hyoid and all the
00:56:19.610 --> 00:56:21.260
stuff on the front of the neck is super
00:56:21.260 --> 00:56:23.990
important if the muscle is all on the
00:56:23.990 --> 00:56:27.590
front of the neck get tight they pull
00:56:27.590 --> 00:56:30.440
this forward in this down a little bit
00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:33.650
like this when they get weak don't tend
00:56:33.650 --> 00:56:36.980
to go more into this position here and
00:56:36.980 --> 00:56:39.770
so that's what creates more of a forward
00:56:39.770 --> 00:56:43.120
head posture which puts a ton of load
00:56:43.120 --> 00:56:46.790
into this area right back here I know
00:56:46.790 --> 00:56:51.530
that one pretty well so as a kit as a
00:56:51.530 --> 00:56:56.210
quick little you know checklist making
00:56:56.210 --> 00:56:58.100
sure that you do the best to keep the
00:56:58.100 --> 00:57:01.150
curve which comes from stretching the
00:57:01.150 --> 00:57:06.320
suboccipital area strengthening the the
00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:08.150
front side of the neck or the deep
00:57:08.150 --> 00:57:14.050
flexors and then proprioception
00:57:14.050 --> 00:57:17.150
exercises so that the like if your if
00:57:17.150 --> 00:57:19.790
your head is too far forward oftentimes
00:57:19.790 --> 00:57:21.290
it's coming from sternocleidomastoid
00:57:21.290 --> 00:57:23.420
which we talked about in the neck area
00:57:23.420 --> 00:57:25.730
or some of this tightness in the hyoid
00:57:25.730 --> 00:57:28.460
muscles so finding people who can work
00:57:28.460 --> 00:57:34.280
on those is really key also the the jaw
00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:37.160
you can see the relationship between the
00:57:37.160 --> 00:57:41.450
the jaw the Atlas and the occiput so the
00:57:41.450 --> 00:57:44.570
top vertebra the jaw and the occiput are
00:57:44.570 --> 00:57:46.400
all really close and kind of overlap a
00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:49.790
lot of the key muscles some of the
00:57:49.790 --> 00:57:53.180
reasons your upper body or your your
00:57:53.180 --> 00:57:55.010
ribs get tight your neck gets tight is
00:57:55.010 --> 00:57:57.040
because you don't breathe well so
00:57:57.040 --> 00:57:58.910
breathing is really important for both
00:57:58.910 --> 00:58:00.950
thoracic spine as well as cervical spine
00:58:00.950 --> 00:58:04.250
a little less for lumbar spine but it's
00:58:04.250 --> 00:58:06.050
still involved as we saw with that
00:58:06.050 --> 00:58:07.580
connection of the pelvic floor and the
00:58:07.580 --> 00:58:13.610
diaphragm and then wrist and hand that's
00:58:13.610 --> 00:58:16.400
another one that I frequently like I
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:18.230
that's not one of my strengths I haven't
00:58:18.230 --> 00:58:21.920
had a ton of issues there in in theory
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:23.780
it's similar to the wrist or sorry
00:58:23.780 --> 00:58:25.460
similar to the foot where you want to
00:58:25.460 --> 00:58:28.130
get a lot of the intrinsic muscles
00:58:28.130 --> 00:58:30.980
working one of the most important ones
00:58:30.980 --> 00:58:32.620
is being able to do
00:58:32.620 --> 00:58:38.470
full like full range of motion next
00:58:38.470 --> 00:58:42.070
circle or sorry thumb circles both
00:58:42.070 --> 00:58:43.900
directions slow and controlled and
00:58:43.900 --> 00:58:45.130
you'll figure out where there are some
00:58:45.130 --> 00:58:47.860
places that you kind of skip over that's
00:58:47.860 --> 00:58:51.930
where some of the muscles may be tight
00:58:51.930 --> 00:58:55.090
but especially with all the texting we
00:58:55.090 --> 00:58:57.270
get really limited in terms of that
00:58:57.270 --> 00:59:01.450
extension range of motion with the with
00:59:01.450 --> 00:59:03.430
the wrists I tend to go more for like
00:59:03.430 --> 00:59:05.440
high volume training so sets of like
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:08.230
hundred not like ten the way you would
00:59:08.230 --> 00:59:12.460
do like ab training and then in addition
00:59:12.460 --> 00:59:15.310
to some of the key stretches you know
00:59:15.310 --> 00:59:19.870
those are pretty easy there's a there's
00:59:19.870 --> 00:59:22.870
a car that I like which is basically
00:59:22.870 --> 00:59:26.770
keeping this forearm flat so if you put
00:59:26.770 --> 00:59:28.150
something there so that they can't move
00:59:28.150 --> 00:59:29.680
it and then taking the wrist through
00:59:29.680 --> 00:59:34.360
like full range of motion so there's a
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:38.050
little tightness there both directions
00:59:38.050 --> 00:59:40.690
so it's making sure that I can move the
00:59:40.690 --> 00:59:43.960
wrist through its two movements not just
00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:46.090
what will happen is golfers will move
00:59:46.090 --> 00:59:48.330
like the whole arm and forearm together
00:59:48.330 --> 00:59:52.960
and one of the common causes of
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:57.580
dysfunction and probably it's I haven't
00:59:57.580 --> 00:59:58.720
seen any research on it but it's
00:59:58.720 --> 01:00:00.520
probably related to quality of movement
01:00:00.520 --> 01:00:04.090
is getting the tissue to slide so when
01:00:04.090 --> 01:00:06.340
when they get bound together when the
01:00:06.340 --> 01:00:08.470
fascial gets bound together and then if
01:00:08.470 --> 01:00:11.340
I try to move one if they're both moving
01:00:11.340 --> 01:00:16.390
I'm gonna have less in theory less kind
01:00:16.390 --> 01:00:19.240
of the sensory component so I'm not
01:00:19.240 --> 01:00:22.750
gonna have as much feel and I'm gonna
01:00:22.750 --> 01:00:24.430
have a lot more friction because these
01:00:24.430 --> 01:00:25.690
two are kind of like tied together
01:00:25.690 --> 01:00:30.190
instead of sliding effortlessly and then
01:00:30.190 --> 01:00:34.660
last one extensor strength so being able
01:00:34.660 --> 01:00:38.520
to have enough wrist extension strength
01:00:38.520 --> 01:00:41.740
that can often help balance out the
01:00:41.740 --> 01:00:43.150
forearm because we get really like
01:00:43.150 --> 01:00:45.760
flexor whether it's typing or gripping
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:49.480
we get more flexor dominant so I'd look
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.510
at that stuff so these I just wanted to
01:00:52.510 --> 01:00:55.300
do a quick little summary of the key
01:00:55.300 --> 01:00:58.330
areas to look at for each joint and the
01:00:58.330 --> 01:01:00.880
next one will talk more about chains and
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:02.950
kind of more of the global patterns but
01:01:02.950 --> 01:01:05.619
these are more like damage control and
01:01:05.619 --> 01:01:08.980
what you really have to between the
01:01:08.980 --> 01:01:14.280
analyzer and the PowerPoint
01:01:16.230 --> 01:01:19.119
okay so first one we got to look at Tim
01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:21.580
Taylor's stretch now
01:01:21.580 --> 01:01:24.640
he did not send us the single arms cuz
01:01:24.640 --> 01:01:26.260
he he didn't like the way they looked
01:01:26.260 --> 01:01:29.290
which a little disappointing because the
01:01:29.290 --> 01:01:31.600
the single arms if we're if we're
01:01:31.600 --> 01:01:33.940
talking about a release pattern the
01:01:33.940 --> 01:01:36.940
single arm movements will give us a
01:01:36.940 --> 01:01:39.670
really good indication or idea as far as
01:01:39.670 --> 01:01:42.400
how the brain is trying to solve the
01:01:42.400 --> 01:01:49.619
equation so here we got Tim and you
01:01:49.619 --> 01:01:53.380
perhaps for next time he can send in
01:01:53.380 --> 01:01:54.760
some more of the homework because one of
01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:56.140
the other things he discussed on the
01:01:56.140 --> 01:02:00.730
last call was that he when he tries the
01:02:00.730 --> 01:02:06.160
drive hold he can't hit it far so but he
01:02:06.160 --> 01:02:08.080
didn't submit like the different videos
01:02:08.080 --> 01:02:11.320
so we've got we've got Iron & Driver so
01:02:11.320 --> 01:02:13.090
we'll just take a look and discuss kind
01:02:13.090 --> 01:02:15.310
of his pattern but we don't have the
01:02:15.310 --> 01:02:19.920
different videos to kind of look through
01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:24.790
so we said we were primarily going to be
01:02:24.790 --> 01:02:29.050
looking at the release but we can see as
01:02:29.050 --> 01:02:32.350
we go up towards the backswing or as we
01:02:32.350 --> 01:02:34.890
go up towards the top of the swing
01:02:34.890 --> 01:02:38.200
you'll see he's got a little bit of that
01:02:38.200 --> 01:02:42.340
lift action or sway and lift so those
01:02:42.340 --> 01:02:45.490
are both indications that he's going to
01:02:45.490 --> 01:02:49.240
use more of the upper body as his engine
01:02:49.240 --> 01:02:51.970
or as his power source so there's that
01:02:51.970 --> 01:02:58.690
lift now as he starts down there you can
01:02:58.690 --> 01:02:59.680
see
01:02:59.680 --> 01:03:02.920
this position here to me kind of screams
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:07.510
upper body because the the arm has come
01:03:07.510 --> 01:03:10.900
away from the the chest already
01:03:10.900 --> 01:03:13.089
it'll normally start pulling away from
01:03:13.089 --> 01:03:15.420
the shoulders what the data shows but
01:03:15.420 --> 01:03:18.579
typically visually it won't look like
01:03:18.579 --> 01:03:21.369
it's disconnected until later and you
01:03:21.369 --> 01:03:23.200
can see that he's got a fair amount of
01:03:23.200 --> 01:03:30.670
that wrist hinge so essentially at that
01:03:30.670 --> 01:03:31.839
position
01:03:31.839 --> 01:03:35.349
he's got his arm down wrist up vs. arm
01:03:35.349 --> 01:03:40.960
up wrist down that usually happens if
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:44.890
I'm using my tricep or my lat as the
01:03:44.890 --> 01:03:47.170
main kind of power source there in
01:03:47.170 --> 01:03:48.910
transition which just means the force is
01:03:48.910 --> 01:03:53.530
going a lot more down than it is around
01:03:53.530 --> 01:03:57.400
and then when it goes down it's got to
01:03:57.400 --> 01:04:01.690
be kind of unloaded in order to not slam
01:04:01.690 --> 01:04:06.579
the club into the ground so it really it
01:04:06.579 --> 01:04:08.079
would have been really interesting to
01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:10.359
see the left arm versus right arm
01:04:10.359 --> 01:04:12.010
release because I think the right arm
01:04:12.010 --> 01:04:15.940
would have been more like it's a little
01:04:15.940 --> 01:04:18.490
hard to see with the framerate but it
01:04:18.490 --> 01:04:20.319
looks like that right hand stays under
01:04:20.319 --> 01:04:21.819
doesn't look like that left hand has a
01:04:21.819 --> 01:04:25.990
whole lot of rotation to it or
01:04:25.990 --> 01:04:31.599
supination to it and so it looks like
01:04:31.599 --> 01:04:34.770
the the swing is kind of go working
01:04:34.770 --> 01:04:37.480
around the ribcage from a lot of
01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:41.440
shoulder movement instead of the the arm
01:04:41.440 --> 01:04:43.599
staying more wide or in front of the
01:04:43.599 --> 01:04:47.200
body and having the the body bringing
01:04:47.200 --> 01:04:51.210
the club through
01:04:53.910 --> 01:04:57.790
so if I had to pick kind of one frame
01:04:57.790 --> 01:04:59.860
this would be the most indicative where
01:04:59.860 --> 01:05:02.260
it almost looks like at this point the
01:05:02.260 --> 01:05:05.770
club is already back and you'll see like
01:05:05.770 --> 01:05:08.530
that relationship there stays pretty
01:05:08.530 --> 01:05:11.260
much the same through those frames so
01:05:11.260 --> 01:05:13.870
it's almost like a a really big putting
01:05:13.870 --> 01:05:15.670
stroke the way he's controlling the face
01:05:15.670 --> 01:05:19.690
is more like a putting style movement
01:05:19.690 --> 01:05:24.070
rather than a full full swing release
01:05:24.070 --> 01:05:32.140
style there's a fair amount of that
01:05:32.140 --> 01:05:36.040
right arm rotation on the way through so
01:05:36.040 --> 01:05:38.800
I imagine we would have seen that in
01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:47.050
that right arm only as well and then
01:05:47.050 --> 01:05:48.990
when he gets into his finished position
01:05:48.990 --> 01:05:51.610
it's a pretty good job of the body
01:05:51.610 --> 01:05:55.540
getting through but because the arms are
01:05:55.540 --> 01:06:01.240
more round it'll tend to have a little
01:06:01.240 --> 01:06:03.310
bit more of a look of this right
01:06:03.310 --> 01:06:07.900
shoulder getting way way forward that's
01:06:07.900 --> 01:06:10.420
usually to counterbalance kind of the
01:06:10.420 --> 01:06:13.270
the arms pulling the club too much away
01:06:13.270 --> 01:06:16.270
from the golf ball or around but be kind
01:06:16.270 --> 01:06:17.710
of the smallest things I think the
01:06:17.710 --> 01:06:20.890
biggest thing for us here is we've got
01:06:20.890 --> 01:06:24.070
more of a arm pull here in transition
01:06:24.070 --> 01:06:28.630
and then more of this release here kind
01:06:28.630 --> 01:06:30.250
of putting release on the way through
01:06:30.250 --> 01:06:32.740
for lack of better phrasing I would
01:06:32.740 --> 01:06:34.480
typically go after the putting release
01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:39.430
first and then circle back to the the
01:06:39.430 --> 01:06:42.100
powering swing so I get really solid
01:06:42.100 --> 01:06:44.980
hitting nine to threes and then work on
01:06:44.980 --> 01:06:49.020
how to get more of a lower body engine
01:06:49.290 --> 01:06:52.270
alright let's jump back to the power
01:06:52.270 --> 01:06:54.420
point
01:06:56.079 --> 01:07:00.219
and Tim even mentioned that over the
01:07:00.219 --> 01:07:01.779
years I notice I have excessive right
01:07:01.779 --> 01:07:04.719
lateral bend and upper body sway that's
01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:06.189
related to the power source but the
01:07:06.189 --> 01:07:11.589
power source is driven partly by the by
01:07:11.589 --> 01:07:16.239
the pivot or the power or the sorry by
01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:18.039
the release so with that putting release
01:07:18.039 --> 01:07:21.069
you need more of a shoulder power source
01:07:21.069 --> 01:07:23.880
to make it work okay
01:07:27.329 --> 01:07:33.309
so Mike sent a couple swings this first
01:07:33.309 --> 01:07:37.239
one is pretty interesting so you'll see
01:07:37.239 --> 01:07:40.059
the swing in on paper it looks pretty
01:07:40.059 --> 01:07:42.789
decent but you can see the range of a
01:07:42.789 --> 01:07:46.959
score 76 to 95 often mid-80s the face on
01:07:46.959 --> 01:07:49.779
view was shanked he shanks a lot and the
01:07:49.779 --> 01:07:52.390
down the line was a big pull he has a
01:07:52.390 --> 01:07:56.529
lot of power where would we go so he
01:07:56.529 --> 01:07:58.359
sees the left wrist break down and grip
01:07:58.359 --> 01:08:00.429
seems overly strong that's a tough
01:08:00.429 --> 01:08:02.890
combination and his Trackman data is
01:08:02.890 --> 01:08:04.179
usually coming four to eight from the
01:08:04.179 --> 01:08:07.479
inside with pretty much the zero angle
01:08:07.479 --> 01:08:10.239
of attack or even up so just based on
01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:11.949
this without even looking at it
01:08:11.949 --> 01:08:13.150
I think we're gonna see a little bit
01:08:13.150 --> 01:08:15.849
more of that kind of under scoop style
01:08:15.849 --> 01:08:20.489
release but let's see
01:08:29.299 --> 01:08:33.710
okay so here we go so I'll I'll just
01:08:33.710 --> 01:08:41.540
kind of play it through once so again on
01:08:41.540 --> 01:08:45.790
paper a lot of good-looking things
01:08:58.329 --> 01:09:01.290
but let's get into a few of the details
01:09:01.290 --> 01:09:04.839
so centered pivot looks pretty good
01:09:04.839 --> 01:09:08.219
not a not a lot of lifting or anything
01:09:08.219 --> 01:09:10.540
you know some good extension there at
01:09:10.540 --> 01:09:12.699
the top of the swing I think he's more
01:09:12.699 --> 01:09:15.730
of a downswing case which is as he
01:09:15.730 --> 01:09:19.770
starts down you'll see that that's a
01:09:19.770 --> 01:09:22.359
looks like a pretty good squat move but
01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:25.089
now his upper body continues to go down
01:09:25.089 --> 01:09:27.009
so if I go back through it it's not
01:09:27.009 --> 01:09:29.489
really a squat move it's more of a
01:09:29.489 --> 01:09:32.349
crunch or a sit-up type movement where
01:09:32.349 --> 01:09:33.880
his upper body's going down down down
01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:35.829
down down it should be going up now
01:09:35.829 --> 01:09:37.389
should be going up now should be going
01:09:37.389 --> 01:09:38.949
up now should be going up it never
01:09:38.949 --> 01:09:42.400
really comes back up so because it comes
01:09:42.400 --> 01:09:46.839
down and then never comes back up we're
01:09:46.839 --> 01:09:49.089
not gonna get the shallowing benefit
01:09:49.089 --> 01:09:51.880
from having more of that vertical
01:09:51.880 --> 01:09:54.760
component so that means that he's got to
01:09:54.760 --> 01:09:58.929
replace it somewhere else so it goes
01:09:58.929 --> 01:10:05.320
down down down down down and then we did
01:10:05.320 --> 01:10:07.719
take a small divot on this so I'd
01:10:07.719 --> 01:10:10.630
imagine that on this one he definitely
01:10:10.630 --> 01:10:15.219
didn't have a zero angle of attack and
01:10:15.219 --> 01:10:21.059
if I get him just to impact position the
01:10:21.059 --> 01:10:24.520
the you can see that it's a little bit
01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:28.869
more like under ulnar deviated which
01:10:28.869 --> 01:10:30.130
would make sense because it's that
01:10:30.130 --> 01:10:31.809
vertical coming up that should help
01:10:31.809 --> 01:10:35.230
create that ulnar deviation the piece
01:10:35.230 --> 01:10:37.179
that really worries me through there is
01:10:37.179 --> 01:10:40.510
how much his hands are going left while
01:10:40.510 --> 01:10:45.329
rehan geing and how little clubface
01:10:45.329 --> 01:10:48.520
rotation you see through there so that's
01:10:48.520 --> 01:10:50.980
kind of what what he was seeing is the
01:10:50.980 --> 01:10:55.300
left wrist going more under it is it's
01:10:55.300 --> 01:10:58.300
going under with very little rotation
01:10:58.300 --> 01:11:00.520
and part of the reason that he can't
01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:04.030
really rotate it is as you indicated
01:11:04.030 --> 01:11:09.730
he's got a very strong grip so the if he
01:11:09.730 --> 01:11:11.920
if he didn't kind of hold off
01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:16.120
and release the club more under than the
01:11:16.120 --> 01:11:18.820
club face would get even more closed and
01:11:18.820 --> 01:11:23.670
he'd hit more of this big pole miss
01:11:23.670 --> 01:11:26.320
because it's just not quite matching up
01:11:26.320 --> 01:11:29.440
with where his grip is he would need to
01:11:29.440 --> 01:11:32.020
be a little bit more shallow there in
01:11:32.020 --> 01:11:34.780
transition and then at impact he would
01:11:34.780 --> 01:11:37.200
probably need to be a little bit more
01:11:37.200 --> 01:11:42.100
like 20 degrees more open with a bit
01:11:42.100 --> 01:11:45.730
more owner deviation so you do have the
01:11:45.730 --> 01:11:49.030
option because that's a like for where
01:11:49.030 --> 01:11:52.000
he has that clubface he's gonna have to
01:11:52.000 --> 01:11:55.030
hit it really early in the arc and he's
01:11:55.030 --> 01:11:58.150
not doing that so then he uses his under
01:11:58.150 --> 01:12:02.050
wrist movement in order to control the
01:12:02.050 --> 01:12:05.350
club face but that under wrist movement
01:12:05.350 --> 01:12:07.060
wall controls the club face messes up
01:12:07.060 --> 01:12:09.580
the low point and it doesn't do that
01:12:09.580 --> 01:12:11.740
great job of controlling the clubface
01:12:11.740 --> 01:12:17.290
swing the swing so the question was well
01:12:17.290 --> 01:12:20.500
where would I start with him I would
01:12:20.500 --> 01:12:22.480
start by matching up the release that's
01:12:22.480 --> 01:12:26.350
kind of one of my big philosophies so I
01:12:26.350 --> 01:12:28.900
would look at where the club is there
01:12:28.900 --> 01:12:31.240
and where the wrist is there and I'd say
01:12:31.240 --> 01:12:34.360
one like okay and where the body is I'd
01:12:34.360 --> 01:12:35.950
say one of those is gonna have to change
01:12:35.950 --> 01:12:37.750
either we're going to have to get much
01:12:37.750 --> 01:12:41.790
more open at impact or we're going to
01:12:41.790 --> 01:12:44.350
freeze him in this position and get the
01:12:44.350 --> 01:12:46.600
club face a little bit closer to
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:50.110
vertical instead of pointing down quite
01:12:50.110 --> 01:12:55.000
as much then I would probably want to
01:12:55.000 --> 01:13:00.040
work on that movement there working a
01:13:00.040 --> 01:13:03.790
lot into the kind of the follow-through
01:13:03.790 --> 01:13:06.640
side and controlling low point and what
01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:08.290
do you'll find is if he does get the low
01:13:08.290 --> 01:13:10.330
point even with the left foot then it's
01:13:10.330 --> 01:13:13.480
typically going to draw a little bit
01:13:13.480 --> 01:13:18.940
more unless he tweaked that grip also
01:13:18.940 --> 01:13:20.940
he's gonna find that if he has zero
01:13:20.940 --> 01:13:23.800
clubface rotation or kind of that under
01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:25.880
flip model it's really hard
01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:28.210
to have the club still going down
01:13:28.210 --> 01:13:31.630
without hitting it off to the right so
01:13:31.630 --> 01:13:33.800
that's kind of where I would start with
01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:36.350
the release and then I would back it up
01:13:36.350 --> 01:13:38.870
into you know when we needed a little
01:13:38.870 --> 01:13:42.290
break from it I'd work on that movement
01:13:42.290 --> 01:13:45.470
there being less of a pulldown and a
01:13:45.470 --> 01:13:50.020
little bit more of a lower body rotation
01:13:50.020 --> 01:13:52.550
but he doesn't look like he's got some
01:13:52.550 --> 01:13:54.740
tools like I can see why it would be
01:13:54.740 --> 01:13:59.330
frustrating because a lot of people
01:13:59.330 --> 01:14:00.740
would look at that and say it's a really
01:14:00.740 --> 01:14:02.450
good swing but there's some dynamics in
01:14:02.450 --> 01:14:03.950
there that are just not matched up very
01:14:03.950 --> 01:14:10.930
well ok so they don't let you read this
01:14:11.740 --> 01:14:15.340
so this was also from Mike he wanted
01:14:15.340 --> 01:14:18.020
looks like he's looking for something to
01:14:18.020 --> 01:14:21.770
work on but the summer got to a plus two
01:14:21.770 --> 01:14:24.470
plus three place fifth in the mid am in
01:14:24.470 --> 01:14:26.120
Canada so that's great
01:14:26.120 --> 01:14:32.150
looks like hit 12 to 13 greens now I'd
01:14:32.150 --> 01:14:34.430
probably want to know how many of those
01:14:34.430 --> 01:14:37.490
are inside 30 feet so how many are kind
01:14:37.490 --> 01:14:40.280
of like really at that level how much
01:14:40.280 --> 01:14:42.620
are inside 25 feet so how many are
01:14:42.620 --> 01:14:44.360
giving me legit birdie opportunities and
01:14:44.360 --> 01:14:46.640
how much are just like I'm on you know
01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:51.080
I've got 50 feet because it's more about
01:14:51.080 --> 01:14:55.520
like 12 to 13 greens is toward level
01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:59.090
ball striking but plot tour level
01:14:59.090 --> 01:15:00.770
handicap would be plus 5 plus 8
01:15:00.770 --> 01:15:05.420
somewhere in that zone so could be that
01:15:05.420 --> 01:15:07.070
we're losing some strokes with our short
01:15:07.070 --> 01:15:09.110
game or we're not hitting it close
01:15:09.110 --> 01:15:10.880
enough because we don't have enough
01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:12.430
opportunities because we're hitting
01:15:12.430 --> 01:15:16.030
clubs that are too long if I try to
01:15:16.030 --> 01:15:18.350
speed at my swing then I start to go
01:15:18.350 --> 01:15:21.260
sideways that happens a lot
01:15:21.260 --> 01:15:23.780
smooth tempo in transition but I want
01:15:23.780 --> 01:15:27.230
extra distance all right let's figure
01:15:27.230 --> 01:15:30.140
out your right hand left hand mechanics
01:15:30.140 --> 01:15:31.370
of the release I've gotten much better
01:15:31.370 --> 01:15:36.140
those that's a common reaction when you
01:15:36.140 --> 01:15:37.780
work on those four
01:15:37.780 --> 01:15:39.640
you know a season or months like they
01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:41.470
they get much better and your ball
01:15:41.470 --> 01:15:43.510
straightening typically gets much more
01:15:43.510 --> 01:15:51.070
consistent alright let's look at now you
01:15:51.070 --> 01:15:55.470
also sent in your gears wrist data
01:15:55.470 --> 01:15:58.780
unfortunately I'll pull them up but what
01:15:58.780 --> 01:16:01.210
you'll see is the gears data doesn't
01:16:01.210 --> 01:16:05.140
really match up with the AMM data and I
01:16:05.140 --> 01:16:08.740
don't know exactly what the the like I
01:16:08.740 --> 01:16:11.830
haven't seen enough of the gears wrist
01:16:11.830 --> 01:16:14.860
data to know exactly what the difference
01:16:14.860 --> 01:16:16.870
is in either how they're presented or
01:16:16.870 --> 01:16:20.500
calculated but you'll see that some of
01:16:20.500 --> 01:16:22.630
the things just don't look like they
01:16:22.630 --> 01:16:25.210
they match up to what I'm seeing on the
01:16:25.210 --> 01:16:29.680
swing the wrists are the hardest for all
01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:32.440
the systems to calculate that's one of
01:16:32.440 --> 01:16:35.620
the reasons I stuck with AMM for as long
01:16:35.620 --> 01:16:45.030
as I have so as we go up towards the top
01:16:50.370 --> 01:16:55.510
so Tim I see quick ask can you summarize
01:16:55.510 --> 01:16:57.670
what you would like me to work on well
01:16:57.670 --> 01:17:01.240
here's the thing so I we need to work on
01:17:01.240 --> 01:17:02.800
the release but I still don't know which
01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:05.560
one did like what part of a release we
01:17:05.560 --> 01:17:07.270
need to work on cuz you didn't send in
01:17:07.270 --> 01:17:09.550
your right arm your left arm or the
01:17:09.550 --> 01:17:11.290
drive hold swing so we didn't have all
01:17:11.290 --> 01:17:14.020
the data to compare it to so I was just
01:17:14.020 --> 01:17:16.180
doing that as kind of like going over
01:17:16.180 --> 01:17:18.600
the overview of what I saw in your swing
01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:21.070
we know that there's a release issue but
01:17:21.070 --> 01:17:22.810
we haven't pinpoint what the release
01:17:22.810 --> 01:17:26.410
issue is yet so what I need you to work
01:17:26.410 --> 01:17:28.690
on is pinpointing what's going on in the
01:17:28.690 --> 01:17:31.030
release that's not allowing the left arm
01:17:31.030 --> 01:17:33.790
to supinate or the the right arm to
01:17:33.790 --> 01:17:36.300
extend across your chest and why you're
01:17:36.300 --> 01:17:39.190
not able to get low point in front and
01:17:39.190 --> 01:17:42.310
control the clubface that way so that's
01:17:42.310 --> 01:17:44.710
the next step is to figure out what's
01:17:44.710 --> 01:17:47.610
going on in the release
01:17:54.719 --> 01:17:58.699
so Mike here
01:18:01.879 --> 01:18:04.510
so if we're looking at it from a
01:18:04.510 --> 01:18:08.510
distance perspective which it seems like
01:18:08.510 --> 01:18:16.090
we are theirs
01:18:16.659 --> 01:18:22.579
feels like when he swings hard we lose
01:18:22.579 --> 01:18:29.629
the clubface so the main thing I would
01:18:29.629 --> 01:18:34.209
say is from the distance perspective
01:18:34.209 --> 01:18:36.949
there's two things that I would look for
01:18:36.949 --> 01:18:39.979
so I'd want to film a couple where I
01:18:39.979 --> 01:18:42.439
swung kind of at normal speed and then I
01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:44.929
swung hard to see what was the
01:18:44.929 --> 01:18:49.609
difference I'd be curious to see if a we
01:18:49.609 --> 01:18:52.699
get a little bit more lateral slide when
01:18:52.699 --> 01:18:55.760
we start to swing hard that could
01:18:55.760 --> 01:18:59.800
potentially cause some of the issues or
01:18:59.800 --> 01:19:03.169
probably even more likely is it looks
01:19:03.169 --> 01:19:06.229
like it's pretty late with the ulnar
01:19:06.229 --> 01:19:09.409
deviation so it doesn't look like you've
01:19:09.409 --> 01:19:11.419
really started doing any of the ulnar
01:19:11.419 --> 01:19:17.209
deviation it starts kind of more down in
01:19:17.209 --> 01:19:20.510
this zone here and so that's just going
01:19:20.510 --> 01:19:23.419
to be like that's a little late I think
01:19:23.419 --> 01:19:27.289
for being able to time it so if you pull
01:19:27.289 --> 01:19:31.129
down harder or if you swing more with
01:19:31.129 --> 01:19:33.649
your upper body if that's what we think
01:19:33.649 --> 01:19:39.050
is is happening through there then that
01:19:39.050 --> 01:19:40.999
could increase the gradient it would
01:19:40.999 --> 01:19:43.280
basically make it so that you'd have to
01:19:43.280 --> 01:19:45.639
like release the hands even quicker
01:19:45.639 --> 01:19:50.030
instead of earlier and I never like
01:19:50.030 --> 01:19:54.139
having to try to time the quickness of
01:19:54.139 --> 01:19:57.800
it it looks like it's under only
01:19:57.800 --> 01:20:03.919
deviated here and then you get some
01:20:03.919 --> 01:20:06.979
through the ball so it's it's not too
01:20:06.979 --> 01:20:08.719
bad like that's a pretty good
01:20:08.719 --> 01:20:13.340
follow-through position but we've got a
01:20:13.340 --> 01:20:15.290
little bit of the buckle which usually
01:20:15.290 --> 01:20:18.050
means under only or deviated and we've
01:20:18.050 --> 01:20:21.680
got a look right here of under old-new
01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:24.620
deviated at impact we've got a little
01:20:24.620 --> 01:20:27.820
bit under only deviated so I think that
01:20:27.820 --> 01:20:30.020
when you don't have enough ulnar
01:20:30.020 --> 01:20:34.460
deviation it's harder to to free up your
01:20:34.460 --> 01:20:37.040
brain to use your legs to create more
01:20:37.040 --> 01:20:41.030
power so I'd be worried when you swing
01:20:41.030 --> 01:20:43.340
hard that yes that would start to cause
01:20:43.340 --> 01:20:47.330
some some issues so you worked on the
01:20:47.330 --> 01:20:49.880
single arms this this winter I would
01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:51.410
probably work on the ulnar deviation
01:20:51.410 --> 01:20:55.430
piece and relating that to pelvis
01:20:55.430 --> 01:21:01.100
rotation speed overall really good now
01:21:01.100 --> 01:21:11.830
let me so let's see if I can
01:21:15.590 --> 01:21:19.760
okay so here we've got the kinematic
01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:22.210
sequence from gears which looks pretty
01:21:22.210 --> 01:21:26.300
classic doesn't look looks like maybe a
01:21:26.300 --> 01:21:30.830
little bit of disconnect from like from
01:21:30.830 --> 01:21:33.920
the wrists it looks like I can't quite i
01:21:33.920 --> 01:21:36.170
can't zoom in enough to see if the
01:21:36.170 --> 01:21:38.690
pelvis is leading or what the transition
01:21:38.690 --> 01:21:42.010
sequences looks like a lot of wrist lag
01:21:42.010 --> 01:21:45.470
maybe not so much core lag which would
01:21:45.470 --> 01:21:46.730
make sense with what we were just
01:21:46.730 --> 01:21:52.370
describing but now here's where okay so
01:21:52.370 --> 01:21:55.460
it doesn't have the the scale or
01:21:55.460 --> 01:21:57.080
anything to be oh sorry it doesn't have
01:21:57.080 --> 01:21:59.810
the key as far as which is which you
01:21:59.810 --> 01:22:02.590
mentioned in your email like this is
01:22:02.590 --> 01:22:05.480
when it goes from there to there that's
01:22:05.480 --> 01:22:10.580
a like a marker drop or sensor moved or
01:22:10.580 --> 01:22:13.820
something like that but even bigger than
01:22:13.820 --> 01:22:16.700
that if I take this range here so the
01:22:16.700 --> 01:22:21.170
this yellow line I believe is supination
01:22:21.170 --> 01:22:24.050
but I don't know what its reference to
01:22:24.050 --> 01:22:26.920
because I've never liked having us a
01:22:26.920 --> 01:22:32.330
supination I'm assuming that this one is
01:22:32.330 --> 01:22:36.230
supination but if so I've never seen
01:22:36.230 --> 01:22:37.790
someone start with zero degrees
01:22:37.790 --> 01:22:40.190
supination usually it would be starting
01:22:40.190 --> 01:22:42.320
up around here and then getting to that
01:22:42.320 --> 01:22:47.300
point so that would be like I would have
01:22:47.300 --> 01:22:49.730
never seen a back swing with this wrist
01:22:49.730 --> 01:22:53.810
pattern and then if we go from here
01:22:53.810 --> 01:22:55.850
let's say that's 25 degrees and it's
01:22:55.850 --> 01:22:57.710
only getting to 50 degrees so that means
01:22:57.710 --> 01:22:59.360
that you're only covering an average of
01:22:59.360 --> 01:23:02.840
70 degrees between there and there that
01:23:02.840 --> 01:23:05.420
would look like the biggest chicken wing
01:23:05.420 --> 01:23:09.590
like no wrist rotation that I've ever
01:23:09.590 --> 01:23:11.960
seen so the average is somewhere around
01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:15.290
120 degrees of forum rotation like the
01:23:15.290 --> 01:23:17.000
guys who look like they have a lot are
01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:21.500
in the 140 range and here I'm seeing you
01:23:21.500 --> 01:23:25.550
know we'd be maybe 90 degrees probably
01:23:25.550 --> 01:23:28.310
closer to like 80 degrees so the the
01:23:28.310 --> 01:23:29.299
numbers the
01:23:29.299 --> 01:23:32.359
like I don't quite know what this what
01:23:32.359 --> 01:23:33.919
these graphs are showing because it
01:23:33.919 --> 01:23:37.099
doesn't match up with how I see the
01:23:37.099 --> 01:23:39.049
movement on camera or what I've seen
01:23:39.049 --> 01:23:43.010
with with 3d and the other one is how
01:23:43.010 --> 01:23:46.029
quickly like we saw that you were
01:23:46.029 --> 01:23:51.199
increasing your radial we saw that you
01:23:51.199 --> 01:23:53.329
were increasing your only deviation
01:23:53.329 --> 01:23:58.279
through impact but none of them would
01:23:58.279 --> 01:23:59.959
match up with that either
01:23:59.959 --> 01:24:05.779
so again like I I believe that the gears
01:24:05.779 --> 01:24:07.939
has a little bit more trouble with the
01:24:07.939 --> 01:24:13.969
wrist data compared to a mm so I would
01:24:13.969 --> 01:24:15.709
go more off of what I saw on video
01:24:15.709 --> 01:24:18.399
rather than these graphs because I just
01:24:18.399 --> 01:24:22.939
don't know how to reconcile or interpret
01:24:22.939 --> 01:24:26.419
it the other thing there's no scale so
01:24:26.419 --> 01:24:28.609
it doesn't tell me or sorry there's no
01:24:28.609 --> 01:24:31.579
key it doesn't tell me which direction
01:24:31.579 --> 01:24:33.769
is pronation supination so some of them
01:24:33.769 --> 01:24:36.260
could be inverted if they use true right
01:24:36.260 --> 01:24:40.749
hand rule because and then inverts the
01:24:40.749 --> 01:24:44.659
flexion extension graph in order to make
01:24:44.659 --> 01:24:48.489
it look more like a kinematic sequence
01:24:48.699 --> 01:24:53.089
so pink is flexion extension yep that
01:24:53.089 --> 01:24:57.559
one makes sense and then yellow is owner
01:24:57.559 --> 01:25:03.769
radial yeah so if yellow is ulnar radio
01:25:03.769 --> 01:25:05.989
like that doesn't look like it's a
01:25:05.989 --> 01:25:08.179
proper reading because there's no like
01:25:08.179 --> 01:25:11.029
for the lead wrist to be coming that
01:25:11.029 --> 01:25:14.929
quickly out of owner it would have a
01:25:14.929 --> 01:25:17.269
really fast rotation rate and that would
01:25:17.269 --> 01:25:20.149
mean that gold or light yellow is
01:25:20.149 --> 01:25:22.099
pronation supination and that just does
01:25:22.099 --> 01:25:24.589
not match up with a normal pronation
01:25:24.589 --> 01:25:28.699
supination graph so I'm not quite sure
01:25:28.699 --> 01:25:32.809
I'm guessing that it's it it might be
01:25:32.809 --> 01:25:35.839
gleich to the global not to the relative
01:25:35.839 --> 01:25:39.289
which means that it would be this is a
01:25:39.289 --> 01:25:41.329
kind of a combination of pronation
01:25:41.329 --> 01:25:42.650
supination as
01:25:42.650 --> 01:25:45.380
well as internal external rotation of
01:25:45.380 --> 01:25:48.920
the shoulder it's possible but the way
01:25:48.920 --> 01:25:52.190
it currently described as a wrist angle
01:25:52.190 --> 01:25:55.969
that doesn't make sense to me so I'd go
01:25:55.969 --> 01:25:58.969
off what I said in the by looking at the
01:25:58.969 --> 01:26:05.530
video all right so now we got a couple
01:26:05.530 --> 01:26:08.179
submissions from edy looking for
01:26:08.179 --> 01:26:10.909
suggestions for this golfer this is more
01:26:10.909 --> 01:26:13.310
of our higher handicap so she has a
01:26:13.310 --> 01:26:14.870
tendency to have a flat shoulder plane
01:26:14.870 --> 01:26:16.370
on top and it's very narrow in the
01:26:16.370 --> 01:26:19.250
practice video you will see some of the
01:26:19.250 --> 01:26:20.989
stuff we worked on we've worked on side
01:26:20.989 --> 01:26:23.090
Bend at the top in several different
01:26:23.090 --> 01:26:25.520
ways that creates some width including
01:26:25.520 --> 01:26:28.159
the back swing arm drills Tour striker
01:26:28.159 --> 01:26:31.670
Sammy putting a band under the the grip
01:26:31.670 --> 01:26:33.140
and left foot and having her feel the
01:26:33.140 --> 01:26:35.000
stretch at the top I also ever work on
01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:37.940
Elda I as it helps with her extension in
01:26:37.940 --> 01:26:48.370
the downswing which is all good okay so
01:26:50.080 --> 01:26:52.280
sorry I recognize you couldn't see that
01:26:52.280 --> 01:26:55.340
but when you download the PowerPoint
01:26:55.340 --> 01:26:58.940
you'll be able to see that as well okay
01:26:58.940 --> 01:27:06.320
so here's that we tried to start steep
01:27:06.320 --> 01:27:10.940
and then got really flattened across and
01:27:10.940 --> 01:27:15.290
then pulled down with a open clubface
01:27:15.290 --> 01:27:19.580
and then hit a nice little you know
01:27:19.580 --> 01:27:23.000
floaty floaty iron shot pretty good out
01:27:23.000 --> 01:27:25.040
of the first cut of the rough probably
01:27:25.040 --> 01:27:27.679
not the best low point off of the
01:27:27.679 --> 01:27:38.239
fairway so this would be a this will be
01:27:38.239 --> 01:27:45.110
a little bit of exploratory so we can
01:27:45.110 --> 01:27:46.969
see low point you can see where the
01:27:46.969 --> 01:27:49.940
grass is already being hit which makes
01:27:49.940 --> 01:27:51.620
sense so the factors of low point are
01:27:51.620 --> 01:27:53.170
the tightening of the arm straightening
01:27:53.170 --> 01:27:56.010
she's definitely got her arms
01:27:56.010 --> 01:27:58.260
or her version of straight early and
01:27:58.260 --> 01:27:59.640
then kind of bending it on the way
01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:02.630
through so as you mentioned the L di
01:28:02.630 --> 01:28:10.290
helps out with that I'd say there's two
01:28:10.290 --> 01:28:11.790
different things that I would go after
01:28:11.790 --> 01:28:17.970
so one I would go after this movement
01:28:17.970 --> 01:28:19.410
here that so the complete lack of
01:28:19.410 --> 01:28:23.510
motorcycle she's not gonna get better
01:28:23.510 --> 01:28:26.160
low point control unless she gets a
01:28:26.160 --> 01:28:30.180
little better motorcycle control and
01:28:30.180 --> 01:28:32.870
let's just see
01:28:32.900 --> 01:28:37.530
and I would potentially like so what I
01:28:37.530 --> 01:28:40.590
would normally do is I would I'd do
01:28:40.590 --> 01:28:42.870
something like the visual impact where
01:28:42.870 --> 01:28:45.180
I'd show okay where do we want the club
01:28:45.180 --> 01:28:47.100
to be at impact we want the club to be
01:28:47.100 --> 01:28:49.410
essentially 30 degrees closed at impact
01:28:49.410 --> 01:28:51.930
and she'd be like no way and then you'd
01:28:51.930 --> 01:28:53.460
show how when your hands are ahead and
01:28:53.460 --> 01:28:55.850
your body is rotated it squares it up
01:28:55.850 --> 01:28:59.310
because I think she's she thinks that
01:28:59.310 --> 01:29:01.800
she needs to get the club back in the
01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:04.770
same way it started so that would be the
01:29:04.770 --> 01:29:06.090
first paradigm that I would try to
01:29:06.090 --> 01:29:12.000
change the second thing is it looks like
01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:15.989
her brain all through here there's no
01:29:15.989 --> 01:29:17.790
movement of the body body body body body
01:29:17.790 --> 01:29:21.750
body body it's all arms so basically the
01:29:21.750 --> 01:29:25.290
the brain thinks that it's the the arms
01:29:25.290 --> 01:29:28.710
job to end the backswing so I would try
01:29:28.710 --> 01:29:31.530
to do something where I wasn't allowed
01:29:31.530 --> 01:29:33.840
to use my arms to end the backswing and
01:29:33.840 --> 01:29:36.060
I had to end the backswing with my hips
01:29:36.060 --> 01:29:41.460
and core and so if I bring up this was
01:29:41.460 --> 01:29:42.510
what you're talking about working on the
01:29:42.510 --> 01:29:45.900
shoulder plane I definitely agree like
01:29:45.900 --> 01:29:48.270
this will look better in terms of the
01:29:48.270 --> 01:29:51.620
position but if you look at that timing
01:29:51.620 --> 01:29:56.550
it hasn't hasn't changed a whole lot so
01:29:56.550 --> 01:29:59.670
the timing is one of the key components
01:29:59.670 --> 01:30:03.600
to this where the body's not really
01:30:03.600 --> 01:30:05.730
moving so she's in a better position but
01:30:05.730 --> 01:30:09.010
she's still loading the shoulders last
01:30:09.010 --> 01:30:13.310
or she's loading the shoulders to
01:30:13.310 --> 01:30:15.380
maximum and I don't think she's loading
01:30:15.380 --> 01:30:17.960
the core to maximum so I would do kind
01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:20.060
of some baseball swings and and things
01:30:20.060 --> 01:30:22.370
where I felt like I was loading my hips
01:30:22.370 --> 01:30:24.530
and core and then I would try to do it
01:30:24.530 --> 01:30:26.810
trying to get some ground contact if you
01:30:26.810 --> 01:30:28.820
did that it's going right unless you
01:30:28.820 --> 01:30:30.560
address the motorcycle so I probably do
01:30:30.560 --> 01:30:32.810
visual impact first I may even
01:30:32.810 --> 01:30:35.330
experiment with presetting with the club
01:30:35.330 --> 01:30:37.160
face a little bit more closed and then
01:30:37.160 --> 01:30:39.410
trying to work my way backwards out of
01:30:39.410 --> 01:30:41.150
that but those are the two pieces I
01:30:41.150 --> 01:30:42.770
would work on the timing of the arm
01:30:42.770 --> 01:30:44.240
movements and body movements in the
01:30:44.240 --> 01:30:46.690
backswing and then the clubface
01:30:46.690 --> 01:30:58.760
orientation at impact okay and then
01:30:58.760 --> 01:31:01.880
Jessi has improved from an eleven to a
01:31:01.880 --> 01:31:03.290
six and would like to continue improving
01:31:03.290 --> 01:31:06.110
of course he hits mostly pulls in phase
01:31:06.110 --> 01:31:08.780
okay it recently did a TPI eval with him
01:31:08.780 --> 01:31:12.230
he failed the overhead deep squat so her
01:31:12.230 --> 01:31:14.480
hockey player cool big shoulders and
01:31:14.480 --> 01:31:17.270
thick chest so enforcer when trying to
01:31:17.270 --> 01:31:19.400
get into delivery he has a difficult
01:31:19.400 --> 01:31:21.350
time getting his elbow in front of his
01:31:21.350 --> 01:31:26.540
rib cage all right so let's see X hockey
01:31:26.540 --> 01:31:27.140
player
01:31:27.140 --> 01:31:30.140
hockey players typically are good with
01:31:30.140 --> 01:31:31.520
clubface control but they're typically
01:31:31.520 --> 01:31:35.390
steep and deep so let's see if that's
01:31:35.390 --> 01:31:40.280
our classic pattern or if we get a
01:31:40.280 --> 01:31:42.140
curveball sometimes the curveballs are
01:31:42.140 --> 01:31:44.290
fun
01:31:51.460 --> 01:31:58.990
all right yeah I could see delivery
01:31:58.990 --> 01:32:02.650
position if he's doing it statically can
01:32:02.650 --> 01:32:04.930
he get that elbow in front or is it is
01:32:04.930 --> 01:32:11.230
it more dynamically if if that's the
01:32:11.230 --> 01:32:15.460
case then I would probably start by
01:32:15.460 --> 01:32:19.570
training that lead arm only drills on
01:32:19.570 --> 01:32:21.580
the way through and then trying to match
01:32:21.580 --> 01:32:28.540
up or you know basically doing less with
01:32:28.540 --> 01:32:32.770
that right arm if that right arm is the
01:32:32.770 --> 01:32:35.850
big problem
01:32:38.190 --> 01:32:43.390
for a hockey player so he definitely
01:32:43.390 --> 01:32:46.480
gets that right shoulder like powering
01:32:46.480 --> 01:32:52.870
the swing through there oh let's get it
01:32:52.870 --> 01:32:54.760
you guys can't see all right sorry about
01:32:54.760 --> 01:33:02.290
that he can but it's tough yeah so I
01:33:02.290 --> 01:33:06.190
would do a lot of education of the left
01:33:06.190 --> 01:33:11.170
arm and and basically like you know if
01:33:11.170 --> 01:33:13.560
you look at someone like Shane Lowry or
01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:17.050
Kevin Stadler before his injury a lot of
01:33:17.050 --> 01:33:21.850
the huskier guys tend to have that right
01:33:21.850 --> 01:33:23.740
arm and their right hand coming off the
01:33:23.740 --> 01:33:25.990
club because there's so much mass for
01:33:25.990 --> 01:33:29.410
getting that right arm in front so he
01:33:29.410 --> 01:33:30.910
can either feel comfortable and keep
01:33:30.910 --> 01:33:33.760
that right arm on the club or you could
01:33:33.760 --> 01:33:38.400
train that left arm to control it more
01:33:38.400 --> 01:33:43.470
now the way it's coming through there
01:33:44.070 --> 01:33:47.010
again I think he's got some club face
01:33:47.010 --> 01:33:50.530
awareness issues as well I would use a
01:33:50.530 --> 01:33:53.230
hockey stick to try to help train the
01:33:53.230 --> 01:33:55.480
club face being more closed because
01:33:55.480 --> 01:34:00.100
that's you know if he had the stick in
01:34:00.100 --> 01:34:01.360
that position he would say that's
01:34:01.360 --> 01:34:04.780
terrible form and hockey guys can
01:34:04.780 --> 01:34:05.260
usually
01:34:05.260 --> 01:34:09.820
feel that stuff quick so we'd arm only
01:34:09.820 --> 01:34:12.789
getting a little bit earlier motorcycle
01:34:12.789 --> 01:34:18.670
for sure see anything else and then I
01:34:18.670 --> 01:34:21.250
would trot probably work with that left
01:34:21.250 --> 01:34:23.320
arm I would probably work a little bit
01:34:23.320 --> 01:34:30.880
on the bracing let's see so it looks to
01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:33.969
me like the upper body gets a little bit
01:34:33.969 --> 01:34:35.860
ahead of the lower body imagine that's
01:34:35.860 --> 01:34:38.199
really tough with the driver so it's
01:34:38.199 --> 01:34:40.239
very spinny and upper body on top so I'd
01:34:40.239 --> 01:34:43.300
work on a little bit more kind of hip
01:34:43.300 --> 01:34:46.480
tilt hip tuck extension leaning back
01:34:46.480 --> 01:34:48.039
that way so that the arms could get a
01:34:48.039 --> 01:34:51.239
little bit straighter from that left arm
01:34:51.239 --> 01:34:54.400
that would help shallow things out a
01:34:54.400 --> 01:35:05.500
good bit and then I would I'd work a
01:35:05.500 --> 01:35:10.210
fair amount on that right shoulder there
01:35:10.210 --> 01:35:20.590
in transition so I'd probably like work
01:35:20.590 --> 01:35:23.050
on the direction of shallowing more than
01:35:23.050 --> 01:35:27.420
the amount and I'd like again that's
01:35:27.420 --> 01:35:31.599
that right arm coming up is is a hockey
01:35:31.599 --> 01:35:33.940
thing that would flex the hockey stick
01:35:33.940 --> 01:35:39.760
pretty good but that's causing a bunch
01:35:39.760 --> 01:35:42.630
of his problems
01:35:44.070 --> 01:35:47.289
yeah oftentimes with kind of bigger guys
01:35:47.289 --> 01:35:49.929
like this kind of stocky guys I would do
01:35:49.929 --> 01:35:52.719
a like I do the left arm only until I
01:35:52.719 --> 01:35:54.309
could get the left arm only and
01:35:54.309 --> 01:35:55.599
follow-through to be pretty straight and
01:35:55.599 --> 01:35:57.579
then I'd see if they could reach across
01:35:57.579 --> 01:36:00.280
and grab it and they're gonna feel
01:36:00.280 --> 01:36:02.949
something is tight but I would help them
01:36:02.949 --> 01:36:07.119
see that component we have the worked on
01:36:07.119 --> 01:36:09.340
the motorcycle a lot what about what
01:36:09.340 --> 01:36:13.380
about lead arm only and that clubface
01:36:13.380 --> 01:36:18.059
kind of relationship position there
01:36:22.830 --> 01:36:24.989
shoulder-blade shallowing is that right
01:36:24.989 --> 01:36:27.989
arm but I'm almost hesitant to do too
01:36:27.989 --> 01:36:29.730
much with the right side because I think
01:36:29.730 --> 01:36:32.639
one of his big things is it'll be easier
01:36:32.639 --> 01:36:34.230
if he can learn to control more of the
01:36:34.230 --> 01:36:36.929
swing with the left side instead of the
01:36:36.929 --> 01:36:40.320
right side mostly because of where like
01:36:40.320 --> 01:36:42.869
that gets to you there there's no way
01:36:42.869 --> 01:36:45.360
that he's actively doing that with the
01:36:45.360 --> 01:36:48.420
left hand so I'd be curious to see if he
01:36:48.420 --> 01:36:51.929
does left arm only nine to threes what
01:36:51.929 --> 01:36:54.389
the finished position looks like how if
01:36:54.389 --> 01:36:56.850
this gets disconnected if the wrist has
01:36:56.850 --> 01:36:59.699
no rotation and then I'd used that left
01:36:59.699 --> 01:37:01.710
arm only nine to three follow through
01:37:01.710 --> 01:37:03.440
position to kind of help his brain
01:37:03.440 --> 01:37:06.199
figure out where we're trying to get to
01:37:06.199 --> 01:37:09.600
does that make sense that's where I
01:37:09.600 --> 01:37:12.300
would start I'd start with
01:37:12.300 --> 01:37:15.270
follow-through position and I would
01:37:15.270 --> 01:37:18.119
probably and I'd start by training that
01:37:18.119 --> 01:37:20.429
left arm only because that looks that
01:37:20.429 --> 01:37:24.469
just looks like a low point disaster
01:37:24.860 --> 01:37:28.100
does that make sense
01:37:36.050 --> 01:37:39.110
you know good news is he's got pretty
01:37:39.110 --> 01:37:45.710
stable pivot his he's got some good
01:37:45.710 --> 01:37:49.430
pieces but yeah that that clubface
01:37:49.430 --> 01:37:54.550
control is causing him some problems
01:37:58.510 --> 01:38:01.150
okay yeah what report back let me know
01:38:01.150 --> 01:38:03.330
how the I think the left arm only like
01:38:03.330 --> 01:38:05.650
I've got a guy that's similar and he
01:38:05.650 --> 01:38:08.620
does like ten left arm only as his
01:38:08.620 --> 01:38:09.370
warmup
01:38:09.370 --> 01:38:12.010
like every time he goes to play and it
01:38:12.010 --> 01:38:14.290
just kind of helps get the the sequence
01:38:14.290 --> 01:38:17.140
of the the body turning through with the
01:38:17.140 --> 01:38:18.700
left arm not breaking down a whole lot
01:38:18.700 --> 01:38:21.820
better and then it helps him feel like
01:38:21.820 --> 01:38:23.800
the lead arm is controlling the swing
01:38:23.800 --> 01:38:27.610
more than the right arm I always explain
01:38:27.610 --> 01:38:29.200
it to golfers like this like okay that
01:38:29.200 --> 01:38:31.390
right arm is causing you problems you
01:38:31.390 --> 01:38:32.770
can either train the right arm to be
01:38:32.770 --> 01:38:35.620
perfect or you can train the left arm to
01:38:35.620 --> 01:38:38.830
do more of the work or both but let's
01:38:38.830 --> 01:38:40.540
start with training the left arm and do
01:38:40.540 --> 01:38:43.110
more of the work so that the right arm
01:38:43.110 --> 01:38:52.420
can be less damaging all right well
01:38:52.420 --> 01:38:56.220
thanks for sending in all the swings and
01:38:56.220 --> 01:39:00.310
joining me this holiday weekend let's
01:39:00.310 --> 01:39:04.510
see so the next one will be fun we're
01:39:04.510 --> 01:39:06.520
gonna do a we'll go through three D of
01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:08.500
the downswing checkpoints which is gonna
01:39:08.500 --> 01:39:10.360
be pretty
01:39:10.360 --> 01:39:12.910
you know big taking we'll see if we need
01:39:12.910 --> 01:39:15.730
to split it up otherwise feel free to
01:39:15.730 --> 01:39:20.290
send in other questions and/or student
