Golfers frequently chase positions in their golf swing. Similar to knowing if you are stretching properly, a picture only gives a rough guide. The feedback of contact and ball flight is more useful for identifying if you are doing "enough" of a movement, more so than a specific position..

00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:03.360
this disc golf smart insight is am i
00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:06.420
doing it enough so frequently members
00:00:06.420 --> 00:00:08.460
within the site will submit their video
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:11.219
we will do an analysis and say okay
00:00:11.219 --> 00:00:13.530
here's what you should work on and after
00:00:13.530 --> 00:00:14.820
a few e-mails back and forth they'll
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.949
submit another video or just a picture
00:00:16.949 --> 00:00:19.160
to say hey am I doing this enough
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.170
frequently will respond back with
00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:23.880
questions about well what's happened to
00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:25.080
your contact what's happened to your
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.449
ball flight as your distance improved
00:00:27.449 --> 00:00:30.060
has the turf contact improved we'll ask
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:32.910
for some of these detailed questions you
00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:35.010
can almost hear through emails that some
00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:37.320
golfers will get frustrated and and ask
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:38.850
well can't you just tell if I'm doing it
00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:41.489
is am I doing this enough the analogy
00:00:41.489 --> 00:00:43.710
that I like to use to am i doing a
00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:46.680
movement enough is that of stretching so
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:49.140
I came from the fitness world I teach
00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.239
people how to stretch let's say we were
00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:53.670
going to try to stretch your hamstrings
00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:54.840
by having you bend over and touch your
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.510
toes if I sent you a picture and I
00:00:57.510 --> 00:01:00.570
looked like this i would say am I
00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:03.899
stretching your normal reaction would be
00:01:03.899 --> 00:01:06.090
I don't know where do you feel it and if
00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:07.380
I said well I don't really feel it then
00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:08.820
you would say hey you're probably not
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:09.750
stretching you got to go a little
00:01:09.750 --> 00:01:12.060
further okay so now i'm i'm down to
00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:13.830
where my fingers pretty much touch my
00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:15.930
toes and I'm feeling it a lot in my neck
00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:18.900
and in my shoulders ok so that's telling
00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:21.000
me that maybe I'm rounding more here i'm
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.500
not actually stretching from the place
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:26.400
that I'm trying to stretch so we can use
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.350
this metaphor with the with the Gulf
00:01:28.350 --> 00:01:30.509
positions or with the movement training
00:01:30.509 --> 00:01:31.710
that we try to do with the golf swing
00:01:31.710 --> 00:01:35.130
let's say that you are working on
00:01:35.130 --> 00:01:37.380
shallowing the club and you ask am i
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:40.619
doing it enough I always ask well what's
00:01:40.619 --> 00:01:42.390
the Miss pattern what's changed with
00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:45.689
contact as have you noticed anything
00:01:45.689 --> 00:01:47.670
different that's similar to asking when
00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:49.290
you do the stretch where are you feeling
00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:52.200
in your body based on that feedback I'll
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.450
have some more information that I can
00:01:54.450 --> 00:01:56.880
tell if you're doing it enough or if you
00:01:56.880 --> 00:01:59.040
still could do it more most of the
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:00.960
movements that we train there's really
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:03.899
not a day too much you can't really
00:02:03.899 --> 00:02:08.399
overdo it similar to to stretching you
00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:10.590
could you could try and forcibly do it
00:02:10.590 --> 00:02:12.209
and mess up your timing like if I was
00:02:12.209 --> 00:02:13.500
trying to stretch and I'm
00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:15.090
holding my breath and really kind of
00:02:15.090 --> 00:02:17.760
grunting down I wouldn't get the normal
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:20.370
relaxation effect that I was trying to
00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:23.430
do in the stretch but or similarly if I
00:02:23.430 --> 00:02:26.730
was trying to force a movement more than
00:02:26.730 --> 00:02:28.530
my body was capable I'm a mess up the
00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:31.470
timing of a subsequent movement but
00:02:31.470 --> 00:02:32.910
ultimately the movements that we teach
00:02:32.910 --> 00:02:35.190
you can't really overdo them because
00:02:35.190 --> 00:02:38.730
they're they're kind of self guided as
00:02:38.730 --> 00:02:41.190
in if I if I shallow like and rotate
00:02:41.190 --> 00:02:43.440
more if I brace I can extend more like
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:46.560
there aren't there aren't really magic
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.540
amounts that you should be try to try to
00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:50.880
fit within if you do them together and
00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:52.650
at the right times they kind of all work
00:02:52.650 --> 00:02:55.860
out so if you're struggling with certain
00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:57.330
positions in your swing it may be a
00:02:57.330 --> 00:02:59.340
