00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.399
this insight is looking at how I use

00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:05.279
video I frequently get the question from

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:07.710
students can you take a look at the vid

00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:11.160
my recent video and I'll usually respond

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.440
ok what's going on you know what are you

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:14.880
hoping to accomplish from looking at the

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.160
video usually it's because they're just

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.390
lost then they're not really sure what

00:00:18.390 --> 00:00:21.390
they want to do but I try to train my

00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:23.699
students so that they can ultimately

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:26.099
have a reason for doing anything that

00:00:26.099 --> 00:00:28.710
they're trying to do so the times when

00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:31.679
you want to use video absolutely when

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.570
you feel lost when you don't know what

00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:36.630
pattern you've fallen into when you when

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:39.090
you're kind of just getting started and

00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:41.700
you don't know how you create speed how

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:43.320
you control the face how you control the

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.730
path or if you've developed kind of a

00:00:47.730 --> 00:00:49.469
new series of misses and you're just

00:00:49.469 --> 00:00:51.449
your your your drills that have worked

00:00:51.449 --> 00:00:53.039
in the past aren't really solving the

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:54.120
issue anymore

00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:56.789
you can now use video so in general I

00:00:56.789 --> 00:00:59.730
use video more when things are going bad

00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:02.190
when things are going good so if a

00:01:02.190 --> 00:01:03.719
student tells me hey everything's great

00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:05.939
but I I'm including a video where you

00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:08.610
take a look at it I'll say that's

00:01:08.610 --> 00:01:11.340
probably not the best use of our time -

00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:14.580
to nitpick and figure out hey something

00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:15.390
doesn't look right

00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:17.939
unless it's related to a contact a

00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:21.200
direction and like a performance issue

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.020
that's what I want to use video so when

00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:27.390
when I do get a video and I'm we've

00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:30.840
decided hey I want to look at it and

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.759
identify the pattern there's three major

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:35.610
areas that I'm going to look at I'm

00:01:35.610 --> 00:01:37.530
gonna look for power I'm gonna look for

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:38.750
a path and I'm going to look for a face

00:01:38.750 --> 00:01:43.320
so power typically shows up in both the

00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:45.600
face on in the down-the-line camera view

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:48.750
power is going to show up by about there

00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:51.479
so the movements that the body is making

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:53.280
to get the club roughly to delivery

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.619
position give me a great idea of how

00:01:55.619 --> 00:01:58.259
this golfer wants to create speed how

00:01:58.259 --> 00:02:00.469
this golfer is going to ultimately

00:02:00.469 --> 00:02:04.469
create power so then we can move on to

00:02:04.469 --> 00:02:07.380
path and path I think is the fun one

00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:09.959
because path kind of blends both ends

00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:11.819
and both camera views so I want to look

00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:14.190
at path foremost base on

00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:16.680
down the line and path is really going

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.750
to show up to me from about delivery

00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:21.120
position to that follow-through position

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.190
between those two I can see what

00:02:23.190 --> 00:02:25.070
movements you're going to use to

00:02:25.070 --> 00:02:28.530
ultimately organize how this club path

00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:33.060
is swinging now club face is the the

00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:35.580
tricky one you're primarily going to

00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:37.250
want to look at down the line and

00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:40.290
clubface is largely going to be from

00:02:40.290 --> 00:02:42.000
right about here so just after

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.520
transition to right about here just

00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.600
after delivery position you can see for

00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:51.120
the most part what that golfer is doing

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.700
from the down-the-line camera angle what

00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:55.230
they're doing with their clubface and

00:02:55.230 --> 00:02:57.240
then oftentimes a lot of these things

00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.340
that you'll see at impact that kind of

00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:02.730
look odd are really a compensation for

00:03:02.730 --> 00:03:04.620
either a face or a path that's out of

00:03:04.620 --> 00:03:07.200
position or a reaction to how that

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:10.170
golfer created power so real quick power

00:03:10.170 --> 00:03:13.800
is kind of that first little phase face

00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.350
is going to be that middle phase and

00:03:16.350 --> 00:03:19.200
then path is going to be that late phase

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:21.570
kind of through there the only other

00:03:21.570 --> 00:03:23.820
time that I like to use video is when

00:03:23.820 --> 00:03:25.709
I'm hitting the ball the best that I've

00:03:25.709 --> 00:03:27.810
ever hit it and then I'm not going to

00:03:27.810 --> 00:03:30.150
analyze it I'm just going to capture it

00:03:30.150 --> 00:03:33.000
and save it for that next rainy day when

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.340
my game isn't quite where I wanted to

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:37.489
and I can use this now as my benchmark

00:03:37.489 --> 00:03:39.959
so don't get obsessed with trying to hit

00:03:39.959 --> 00:03:43.500
perfect positions perfect lines use

00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:46.260
video to get a picture of your overall

00:03:46.260 --> 00:03:48.660
pattern and then use contact and the

00:03:48.660 --> 00:03:50.430
feedback on the range and on the course

00:03:50.430 --> 00:03:52.709
to see if you're actually progressing as

00:03:52.709 --> 00:03:55.050
opposed to looking at video which may

00:03:55.050 --> 00:03:58.380
mask the subtle changes that are really

00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:00.060
critical for the difference between your

00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:01.830
good and your bad shots within any

00:04:01.830 --> 00:04:04.280
pattern
