This concept video is answering the member question.

1
00:00:08.205 --> 00:00:10.215
Does shaline really open the club face?

2
00:00:10.715 --> 00:00:13.335
Uh, so, uh, I've talked about the club face a number

3
00:00:13.335 --> 00:00:16.335
of times, uh, but I got another question about if

4
00:00:16.765 --> 00:00:18.615
Shaline opens the club face.

5
00:00:18.615 --> 00:00:20.535
There seems to be some debate on Instagram.

6
00:00:20.715 --> 00:00:22.775
Um, so I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in here.

7
00:00:22.995 --> 00:00:25.175
Uh, I got a few different images that we're gonna look at,

8
00:00:25.515 --> 00:00:28.175
um, and then we will talk about it from a kind

9
00:00:28.175 --> 00:00:29.295
of mechanics point of view.

10
00:00:29.635 --> 00:00:33.375
Uh, but I think the first step is to kind

11
00:00:33.375 --> 00:00:36.175
of understand what's happening when you move the grip

12
00:00:36.175 --> 00:00:38.455
forward or, or when you create shalene.

13
00:00:39.355 --> 00:00:42.175
Um, so because, uh, there's a number

14
00:00:42.175 --> 00:00:46.215
of different factors I could, I could create shalene, um,

15
00:00:47.185 --> 00:00:49.535
while moving the grip straightforward like this,

16
00:00:49.535 --> 00:00:51.975
but is that really what's happening in the golf swing?

17
00:00:52.055 --> 00:00:54.375
I could create shaline by moving it that way,

18
00:00:54.435 --> 00:00:56.615
but some would say that you're rotating the face.

19
00:00:56.955 --> 00:00:58.215
Um, so let's discuss this.

20
00:00:58.675 --> 00:01:02.295
So here we have a golfer kind of at impact

21
00:01:02.485 --> 00:01:03.615
with some shalene.

22
00:01:03.635 --> 00:01:06.015
So the club is kind of in a position like this.

23
00:01:07.515 --> 00:01:09.815
If you were to create more shalene

24
00:01:10.275 --> 00:01:12.775
by moving the grip forward, essentially

25
00:01:12.775 --> 00:01:16.295
what you're doing is you're moving the club further back

26
00:01:16.585 --> 00:01:17.935
along the swing path.

27
00:01:18.395 --> 00:01:22.575
Um, so if I had the trustee hula hoop here, um,

28
00:01:22.915 --> 00:01:26.335
at the, at the bottom of the swing here would be kind

29
00:01:26.335 --> 00:01:27.575
of the widest point.

30
00:01:27.795 --> 00:01:29.535
If I move the bottom of the swing forward

31
00:01:29.675 --> 00:01:31.455
and keep the grip kind of in the same spot,

32
00:01:31.645 --> 00:01:34.895
essentially what's happened is I've moved the club further

33
00:01:35.205 --> 00:01:36.615
back along the swing path

34
00:01:36.915 --> 00:01:39.335
by moving it further back along the swing path.

35
00:01:39.805 --> 00:01:42.375
I've done a couple things or a few things.

36
00:01:43.165 --> 00:01:46.775
I've moved the club back, I've moved the club up

37
00:01:47.675 --> 00:01:49.815
and I've rotated the club face.

38
00:01:49.995 --> 00:01:53.535
Um, because we know that every golf club swinging

39
00:01:54.285 --> 00:01:56.135
into impact on a full swing.

40
00:01:56.515 --> 00:02:00.615
Uh, at least everything that I've seen on, um, A MM is going

41
00:02:00.615 --> 00:02:02.735
to show some amount of club face closing.

42
00:02:02.845 --> 00:02:06.415
I've never seen one actually opening, um, through impact.

43
00:02:06.475 --> 00:02:08.615
And so that means if you move it backward,

44
00:02:08.915 --> 00:02:11.015
you are opening the face

45
00:02:11.235 --> 00:02:14.815
and when you create shalene, you're moving

46
00:02:15.395 --> 00:02:18.575
the club back a long time, basically earlier in the swing.

47
00:02:18.835 --> 00:02:20.615
So the club face would not have closed

48
00:02:20.675 --> 00:02:22.255
as much at that point in time.

49
00:02:23.235 --> 00:02:26.615
Um, so the club, when I go from here

50
00:02:26.955 --> 00:02:30.135
and I move it, uh, create some shuffling,

51
00:02:30.445 --> 00:02:33.335
what should happen is if I'm following this geometry,

52
00:02:34.135 --> 00:02:36.135
I should not just move the grip forward,

53
00:02:36.515 --> 00:02:39.975
but I should move the grip forward and down

54
00:02:40.355 --> 00:02:41.975
and out just like that.

55
00:02:41.975 --> 00:02:43.695
And you'll see that the club face is gonna twist

56
00:02:43.725 --> 00:02:45.335
open as it does that.

57
00:02:45.955 --> 00:02:50.255
Um, so by hitting it early in the arc, earlier in the arc,

58
00:02:50.255 --> 00:02:52.455
the clubface is closing at a slower amount

59
00:02:53.075 --> 00:02:54.895
and I've created some slack

60
00:02:54.955 --> 00:02:57.255
or some room to be able to widen things

61
00:02:57.715 --> 00:03:00.080
and create more of this flat spot on the way through.

62
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.645
So that helps with consistency.

63
00:03:02.065 --> 00:03:04.045
Um, so it helps with club face control

64
00:03:04.385 --> 00:03:07.725
and it helps with consistency of contact, low point.

65
00:03:07.985 --> 00:03:09.805
Um, so it does some really good things, especially

66
00:03:09.805 --> 00:03:12.525
for iron play, but it helps the driver as well as long

67
00:03:12.525 --> 00:03:14.205
as we just tilt the model back this way.

68
00:03:14.225 --> 00:03:19.205
So now the club is in shaft lean compared to the golfer, um,

69
00:03:19.345 --> 00:03:22.685
but fairly vertical compared to, uh, the golf ball.

70
00:03:23.675 --> 00:03:26.495
Now one other thing to to talk about would be

71
00:03:27.015 --> 00:03:29.895
mechanics wise, again, if I'm pressing rewind, we know

72
00:03:29.895 --> 00:03:31.015
that we want the lead arm

73
00:03:31.015 --> 00:03:33.455
to have some supination coming into impact

74
00:03:33.685 --> 00:03:35.575
that fits the model of getting some

75
00:03:35.575 --> 00:03:37.095
of this club face rotation.

76
00:03:37.635 --> 00:03:42.215
So if I was to move the club backward anatomically I should

77
00:03:42.805 --> 00:03:46.095
undo some of that supination, or I should pronate the arm.

78
00:03:46.095 --> 00:03:48.855
And when I pronate the arm, um, that's going

79
00:03:48.855 --> 00:03:50.015
to open the club face.

80
00:03:50.395 --> 00:03:54.015
Uh, so yes, you could just have it here

81
00:03:54.235 --> 00:03:56.495
and move the grip forward, um,

82
00:03:57.125 --> 00:04:01.415
move the grip forward in space, keep the shaft, uh, kind

83
00:04:01.415 --> 00:04:03.215
of perpendicular as I do that.

84
00:04:03.235 --> 00:04:05.855
But in order to do that, I actually have to twist it.

85
00:04:06.155 --> 00:04:08.535
And effectively what I would be doing is in order

86
00:04:08.535 --> 00:04:11.495
to move the grip a hundred percent forward, sideways,

87
00:04:11.875 --> 00:04:13.215
not forward and out,

88
00:04:13.475 --> 00:04:14.575
but forward sideways,

89
00:04:14.815 --> 00:04:17.455
I would actually be shifting the path of the club.

90
00:04:17.795 --> 00:04:20.535
Um, so that's often what's missed in the discussion is if I

91
00:04:20.535 --> 00:04:24.495
kept the swing path or the swing plane essentially the same

92
00:04:24.515 --> 00:04:25.655
and just move the grip forward,

93
00:04:26.005 --> 00:04:30.575
then moving the grip forward, uh, would move it down

94
00:04:30.795 --> 00:04:33.295
and out kind of like this.

95
00:04:34.195 --> 00:04:37.335
And I'm balancing it, um, in the actual swing

96
00:04:37.675 --> 00:04:39.455
by moving the body up

97
00:04:39.455 --> 00:04:42.335
and away so that the handle is actually moving this way

98
00:04:42.395 --> 00:04:45.775
as the grip is moving, uh, slightly down and out, um,

99
00:04:45.795 --> 00:04:47.215
or as sorry as the club head is

100
00:04:47.215 --> 00:04:48.375
moving slightly down and out.

101
00:04:48.375 --> 00:04:51.335
That's what helps create the, the 3D flat spot

102
00:04:51.335 --> 00:04:53.935
that gives us a little bit more consistency, uh,

103
00:04:53.935 --> 00:04:55.015
but hopefully this, um,

104
00:04:55.425 --> 00:04:58.255
helps you understand what's happening mechanically, yes,

105
00:04:58.535 --> 00:05:00.935
shafting or hitting it earlier in the arc,

106
00:05:00.935 --> 00:05:02.735
which happens from getting good body rotation,

107
00:05:02.855 --> 00:05:05.495
delaying the extension of the arms, um, getting into

108
00:05:05.495 --> 00:05:09.975
that good kind of tor impact position does open the face

109
00:05:10.815 --> 00:05:13.135
relative to um, any other position.

110
00:05:13.595 --> 00:05:17.495
Uh, and it allows for some of these elements, uh,

111
00:05:17.495 --> 00:05:19.575
through the release that creates this flat spot,

112
00:05:19.685 --> 00:05:22.055
creates a low point further ahead of a golf wall.

113
00:05:22.055 --> 00:05:24.855
But with more kind of brushing, contact the ground,

114
00:05:25.165 --> 00:05:26.455
some traits that we're used

115
00:05:26.455 --> 00:05:28.695
to seeing from really elite level ball strikers.
