00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:02.460
in this golf smart insight we're going

00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:03.659
to talk about the relationship between

00:00:03.659 --> 00:00:06.180
the body and the arms so I'm going to

00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:09.570
give you a fun little exercise that I

00:00:09.570 --> 00:00:12.120
got from Peter Kostis at the World Golf

00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:14.250
Fitness summit a couple of years back so

00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:15.599
you're going to get up out of your

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.789
chairs if you can otherwise you're going

00:00:17.789 --> 00:00:20.520
to wait and do it later but here's a

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:23.820
little example to illustrate whether you

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:25.320
should be thinking about your arms your

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.560
body or what okay so you're going to

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:29.849
imagine that you're standing in front of

00:00:29.849 --> 00:00:31.740
a blackboard and you got an eraser in

00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:34.380
your hand okay and there's chalk all

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:36.450
over the blackboard and you're going to

00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:38.520
try to clean it up okay so basically

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.980
you're going to start with one as a

00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:42.570
baseline where you're just going to move

00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:44.820
your arm kind of in wax on wax off type

00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:46.379
circles and you're just going to do it

00:00:46.379 --> 00:00:47.700
nice and smoothly and you just want to

00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:50.190
pay attention to your body okay I kind

00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:53.100
of feel how it's moving there now option

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:55.050
one you're going to try to do it faster

00:00:55.050 --> 00:00:57.210
okay so I'm going to say just focus on

00:00:57.210 --> 00:00:59.370
getting the hand in the eraser to move

00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:01.559
as fast as you can okay it's going to be

00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:02.910
a little bit like a body blade type

00:01:02.910 --> 00:01:04.260
thing you're going to get a little core

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:06.000
workout so you're moving all over

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.820
cleaning the blackboard okay good

00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:11.040
option two now what I'm gonna have you

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.590
do is you're going to try and move your

00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:15.780
arm the same just relaxed pace you were

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:17.189
doing before but you're going to try to

00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:19.950
move your hips to speed up your arm so

00:01:19.950 --> 00:01:21.509
you're gonna you're going to try to time

00:01:21.509 --> 00:01:24.090
exactly when to move your hips and if

00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:25.920
you're anything like most people who

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.540
have done this with you'll look like I

00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:31.259
just did a little uncoordinated so the

00:01:31.259 --> 00:01:33.720
way that the brain tends to work is

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:36.420
based on some neural input and things

00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:39.780
like that well your hands have a ton of

00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:42.329
neural sensors to them so we have these

00:01:42.329 --> 00:01:44.640
pathways to help control where my hands

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.040
are where if you start with your

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.720
attention more in your hips it can be a

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.430
little bit trickier to try to then

00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:51.960
connect it back to your arm if your

00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:55.350
attention isn't there so here's where

00:01:55.350 --> 00:01:58.259
this makes sense with golf a lot of golf

00:01:58.259 --> 00:02:01.170
instruction has drifted more into what

00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:04.829
the body's doing right well the problem

00:02:04.829 --> 00:02:06.329
with that is we don't have a ton of

00:02:06.329 --> 00:02:08.190
neural input there we have a lot of

00:02:08.190 --> 00:02:10.050
neural input in the hinge so if you can

00:02:10.050 --> 00:02:12.030
learn how to get your hand path if you

00:02:12.030 --> 00:02:13.770
can learn how to get your hands to a

00:02:13.770 --> 00:02:16.170
celery correctly how to create all that

00:02:16.170 --> 00:02:18.050
speed and leg and transfer that energy

00:02:18.050 --> 00:02:21.090
just that the rat at the last moment to

00:02:21.090 --> 00:02:23.970
the golf ball your body will tend to do

00:02:23.970 --> 00:02:26.430
what it's supposed to do now part of the

00:02:26.430 --> 00:02:27.930
reason why I think that we shifted a lot

00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:30.810
to the body was some of the early 3d

00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:33.330
stuff now I'm guilty this because I was

00:02:33.330 --> 00:02:36.360
one of those early 3d guys and our first

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.340
systems pretty much only measured either

00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:40.470
the thorax or the pelvis right if you

00:02:40.470 --> 00:02:43.320
look at the cave s the original AMM the

00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:46.230
original Golf biodynamic system they

00:02:46.230 --> 00:02:48.540
primarily measured the thorax and the

00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:50.400
pelvis so we started to be able to

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.860
measure what those were doing and we

00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:54.420
tell you hey you need to move this

00:02:54.420 --> 00:02:56.730
differently but going back to that

00:02:56.730 --> 00:02:59.880
blackboard analogy it it it's hard to

00:02:59.880 --> 00:03:02.460
connect the two if you're not quite sure

00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:03.780
what your arms should be doing as well

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:06.960
so with the latest versions of either

00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.360
the golf by n dynamics or the AMM or if

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:10.890
you have one of the expensive you know

00:03:10.890 --> 00:03:13.830
Vikon optical systems we can measure now

00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:15.750
how the arms and the hands are actually

00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:18.950
moving and I have had a lot of success

00:03:18.950 --> 00:03:21.240
teaching people how to use their arms

00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.610
and hands correctly which helps get the

00:03:23.610 --> 00:03:25.320
body to do the right things where I

00:03:25.320 --> 00:03:28.380
would reach roadblocks when I would give

00:03:28.380 --> 00:03:30.000
them the right exercises I knew we could

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.880
get the body moving but the hands just

00:03:32.880 --> 00:03:34.290
wouldn't end up in the right position

00:03:34.290 --> 00:03:35.490
and they wouldn't hit the ball solidly

00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:39.840
so you'll see in these in my site I talk

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.780
a lot about the details of how the arms

00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:44.310
and the hands work because once you have

00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:46.380
a clear picture of how the arms and

00:03:46.380 --> 00:03:48.840
hands work the body will unfold and make

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.740
a whole lot more sense
