WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.230
wanna thank you here will angle this

00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:07.230
down a little bit I want to thank you

00:00:07.230 --> 00:00:10.769
for coming to our live Q&A about the

00:00:10.769 --> 00:00:12.509
shanks and the yips

00:00:12.509 --> 00:00:16.220
so these are these are mostly gonna be

00:00:16.220 --> 00:00:21.300
golf smart Academy members that or

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:22.949
answering gossamer Academy member

00:00:22.949 --> 00:00:26.609
questions but if you are you know having

00:00:26.609 --> 00:00:28.260
if I'm saying something about whether

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:29.820
it's the shanks or the yips and you got

00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:31.800
a quick question about it go ahead and

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.680
type something in the chat and I will

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:38.940
address it as we go through so we'll

00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:42.180
we'll start with the shanks because I

00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:44.550
think that they're a fun topic and

00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:46.620
they're they're kind of a taboo topic

00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:49.770
nobody really likes to talk about them

00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:51.270
or even address them you know there's

00:00:51.270 --> 00:00:54.449
that famous tin cup scene about they're

00:00:54.449 --> 00:00:56.610
just like a virus right and nobody

00:00:56.610 --> 00:01:00.210
really knows how to correct them well I

00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:03.210
would say that I probably coached

00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:06.299
someone into the shanks at least once a

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:08.610
month or so especially they're coming

00:01:08.610 --> 00:01:12.420
out of a kind of a casting scoop flip

00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.740
style pattern

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:24.409
let me just see if anybody I don't see

00:01:24.409 --> 00:01:27.619
anyone on the chat so if you're if

00:01:27.619 --> 00:01:31.460
you're hearing and watching just say who

00:01:31.460 --> 00:01:32.950
you are where you're from real quick

00:01:32.950 --> 00:01:35.810
because I don't want to go too far into

00:01:35.810 --> 00:01:36.320
it

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:39.340
and have to start over

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:51.360
okay so we'll go back into the

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:56.490
discussion about the shank so Ryan golf

00:01:56.490 --> 00:02:00.000
smart Academy member asked about the

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.350
major cause whether it's more of a

00:02:03.350 --> 00:02:06.119
relationship to the path of the club or

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:08.729
whether it's more related to the hand

00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:09.840
path and I'll break that down a little

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.269
bit but first sorry I was I was telling

00:02:12.269 --> 00:02:16.739
this little story about the coaching

00:02:16.739 --> 00:02:19.440
people into the shanks so oftentimes if

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:21.720
you're coming out of a kind of cast

00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:24.660
scoot pattern right so if you're if

00:02:24.660 --> 00:02:26.519
you're coming out of a pattern where

00:02:26.519 --> 00:02:28.860
you're basically getting the arms

00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:30.750
straight early and then bending them on

00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:32.700
the way through when you start to work

00:02:32.700 --> 00:02:34.530
on getting a little bit more arm

00:02:34.530 --> 00:02:37.079
extension it is possible that you can

00:02:37.079 --> 00:02:39.420
start hitting it more on the heel and

00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:42.299
even checking the wall because there's

00:02:42.299 --> 00:02:44.810
really two kind of ways that you'll

00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:49.140
develop the shank one would be if the

00:02:49.140 --> 00:02:51.630
and I'll do it kind of facing the camera

00:02:51.630 --> 00:02:53.670
this way so we'll imagine you're the

00:02:53.670 --> 00:02:57.510
target view so one would be if the hosel

00:02:57.510 --> 00:02:59.730
is simply moving that way so the club

00:02:59.730 --> 00:03:02.190
face starts square like this and it's

00:03:02.190 --> 00:03:04.950
coming into the ball with the clubface

00:03:04.950 --> 00:03:06.690
still square but it's just moved more

00:03:06.690 --> 00:03:09.060
out towards the golf ball that's option

00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:11.760
number one and then option number two

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:14.910
would be okay we start off here the

00:03:14.910 --> 00:03:16.680
center of the club stays at about the

00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.889
same point but now the clubface is

00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:21.989
rotating and coming in wide open and so

00:03:21.989 --> 00:03:25.950
it's hitting the heel there so I would

00:03:25.950 --> 00:03:27.989
say that of the two that first version

00:03:27.989 --> 00:03:31.290
where the club isn't coming in overly

00:03:31.290 --> 00:03:33.180
open but it's just coming a little bit

00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:35.549
more out towards the golf ball like so

00:03:35.549 --> 00:03:40.859
is the most common version here's

00:03:40.859 --> 00:03:43.889
basically what's happening when you're

00:03:43.889 --> 00:03:47.190
getting that version of the shank the

00:03:47.190 --> 00:03:49.200
path of the club or

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:51.150
we'll look at this wing plane so if I've

00:03:51.150 --> 00:03:54.180
got whatsit let's imagine that instead

00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:56.310
of the club head I've got a weight on

00:03:56.310 --> 00:03:58.260
the end of string so I've got a tennis

00:03:58.260 --> 00:04:01.860
ball in a sock here so if I'm swinging

00:04:01.860 --> 00:04:03.930
the weight around me kind of like this

00:04:03.930 --> 00:04:07.050
my goal is to get that to impact where

00:04:07.050 --> 00:04:09.690
the golf ball was well what can happen

00:04:09.690 --> 00:04:12.660
is I can get swinging that and I can

00:04:12.660 --> 00:04:15.480
just drift out a little bit kind of like

00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:17.579
that well that could come from one of

00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:20.609
two primary areas that could either come

00:04:20.609 --> 00:04:23.310
from just a general weight shift and my

00:04:23.310 --> 00:04:25.880
body shifting more in towards the toes

00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:28.470
especially if I'm not getting a whole

00:04:28.470 --> 00:04:30.840
lot of rotation if I'm shifting in

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:33.120
towards the toes without getting a

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:34.770
rotation that can just move the hand

00:04:34.770 --> 00:04:37.919
path or the swing path out to the golf

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:40.260
ball and the other one would be if that

00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:42.630
trail arm is getting out away and

00:04:42.630 --> 00:04:45.479
straightening too soon so it's kind of

00:04:45.479 --> 00:04:48.330
going like that that can cause the path

00:04:48.330 --> 00:04:52.950
of the club to go out that way the the

00:04:52.950 --> 00:04:56.270
other way that you could look at it is

00:04:56.270 --> 00:04:59.580
not just looking at the path of the

00:04:59.580 --> 00:05:02.160
weight or the path of the club but

00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.669
looking at where my hands are along this

00:05:05.669 --> 00:05:07.260
path so let's say the club's going down

00:05:07.260 --> 00:05:09.810
towards the golf ball like this if I

00:05:09.810 --> 00:05:12.390
have a path that's pointed kind of

00:05:12.390 --> 00:05:14.580
outside the golf ball but then my hand

00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:17.789
path is coming way to the left then I'm

00:05:17.789 --> 00:05:19.080
probably not gonna shake it I'll

00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:23.520
probably be okay so it would be going

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:26.550
like this but if the hand path is coming

00:05:26.550 --> 00:05:28.260
more around it's gonna prevent how far

00:05:28.260 --> 00:05:30.840
the club is swinging away from where I

00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:32.280
can get a lot of trouble is if it's

00:05:32.280 --> 00:05:35.070
swinging around like this and then my

00:05:35.070 --> 00:05:38.130
arms are straightening and they're going

00:05:38.130 --> 00:05:40.050
with the swing of the club and they're

00:05:40.050 --> 00:05:42.630
going out into the golf ball that can

00:05:42.630 --> 00:05:45.150
that's one of the more common causes for

00:05:45.150 --> 00:05:47.520
getting that shanked pattern to show up

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:50.280
you know especially for golfers who used

00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:53.880
to be really steep and chicken winging

00:05:53.880 --> 00:05:56.740
and then they get a little bit flat and

00:05:56.740 --> 00:06:01.449
better-armed extension time so the

00:06:01.449 --> 00:06:04.990
question from Ryan is basically we have

00:06:04.990 --> 00:06:07.870
two things either the hands are going

00:06:07.870 --> 00:06:10.300
too much out or the overall path of the

00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:13.360
club is tilted too much in out which do

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.900
you go at first I would say that the

00:06:16.900 --> 00:06:20.110
majority of the time I'm gonna go at the

00:06:20.110 --> 00:06:22.419
hands going more out and I'm gonna try

00:06:22.419 --> 00:06:24.250
to get that by staying a little bit more

00:06:24.250 --> 00:06:26.830
centered in my weight distribution and

00:06:26.830 --> 00:06:29.169
working on the pivot on the way through

00:06:29.169 --> 00:06:31.990
so basically working on having continued

00:06:31.990 --> 00:06:34.659
body rotation and basically having the

00:06:34.659 --> 00:06:36.130
movement of the hips and the ribcage

00:06:36.130 --> 00:06:38.139
start to pull those hands a little bit

00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:40.840
more around I don't like the idea of

00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:43.240
just artificially using the arms to pull

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.240
them more around into the left but if I

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.610
can use my body turn to get them to go

00:06:48.610 --> 00:06:50.680
to the left it will prevent the club

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.360
from flying too much into out the other

00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.479
option would be essentially trying to

00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:00.990
tilt the swing path a little bit more

00:07:00.990 --> 00:07:03.639
vertically because it's if it's pointed

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.729
out a weight out to the outside of the

00:07:06.729 --> 00:07:07.180
golf ball

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:09.580
that's an overly shallow position and

00:07:09.580 --> 00:07:12.280
requires more of that body turn on the

00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:16.479
way through so I break it down that's

00:07:16.479 --> 00:07:18.250
kind of the more the theory as far as

00:07:18.250 --> 00:07:20.199
how the club works so I break it down

00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.690
into a couple different simple body

00:07:22.690 --> 00:07:24.669
awareness things either your weight

00:07:24.669 --> 00:07:26.139
distribution is moving too much in

00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:27.400
towards your toes and that's causing

00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:30.930
your hands to get too far out so doing

00:07:30.930 --> 00:07:32.979
something as simple as putting an

00:07:32.979 --> 00:07:35.919
alignment stick like underneath the toes

00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:37.389
to make sure that you're saying more in

00:07:37.389 --> 00:07:39.630
the center of your feet that can have a

00:07:39.630 --> 00:07:42.069
strong enough influence or I'll use a

00:07:42.069 --> 00:07:44.169
pool noodle to make sure that the upper

00:07:44.169 --> 00:07:46.539
body and the head isn't really lunging

00:07:46.539 --> 00:07:51.370
in towards the golf ball the that would

00:07:51.370 --> 00:07:54.610
be kind of more looking at it from the

00:07:54.610 --> 00:07:58.210
body position orientation the second one

00:07:58.210 --> 00:08:00.130
will be looking at the arm timing and

00:08:00.130 --> 00:08:01.840
that's usually more of like a tempo

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:04.870
drill and more of a sequence II drill so

00:08:04.870 --> 00:08:07.990
I may use like the shank gait just to

00:08:07.990 --> 00:08:09.840
make golfers a little bit more

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:13.230
and then do something like hitting maybe

00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:15.990
single arm only trying to get the timing

00:08:15.990 --> 00:08:17.639
of the arm extension that happened a

00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.260
little bit after the golf ball as

00:08:19.260 --> 00:08:23.190
opposed to right before it I see a

00:08:23.190 --> 00:08:27.030
couple comments coming in from Ned

00:08:27.030 --> 00:08:30.600
Germany he had the shanks my fix was to

00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.690
flip it which is one of the common ways

00:08:33.690 --> 00:08:36.060
that you fix the shank because when you

00:08:36.060 --> 00:08:39.000
move start uh you know flipping the club

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.490
back this way it's typically going to

00:08:41.490 --> 00:08:46.140
work away from the widest point he said

00:08:46.140 --> 00:08:48.000
I had I flipped it for 25 years and the

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.490
Tigers helped stop flipping it I think I

00:08:50.490 --> 00:08:52.140
shanked it because I didn't realize the

00:08:52.140 --> 00:08:54.779
towhead to close past the heel I used to

00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:56.760
break driver shafts because I'd hit

00:08:56.760 --> 00:08:59.580
shots dead off the extreme inside of the

00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:03.180
heel so that gets to the that second

00:09:03.180 --> 00:09:05.640
kind of shank which would be more if

00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:07.640
you're coming in with the clubface open

00:09:07.640 --> 00:09:10.710
right so if it's swinging more in line

00:09:10.710 --> 00:09:12.210
with the center of the the mass of the

00:09:12.210 --> 00:09:14.160
club kind of like so that heel can

00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:15.810
really come in towards the golf ball and

00:09:15.810 --> 00:09:17.550
then even if you close it late because

00:09:17.550 --> 00:09:19.290
it was coming in it's gonna be further

00:09:19.290 --> 00:09:22.830
away so if the pivot stuff doesn't work

00:09:22.830 --> 00:09:24.120
and you're still hitting them off to the

00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.370
right then oftentimes what you'll have

00:09:26.370 --> 00:09:27.750
to do is you'll have to get a little bit

00:09:27.750 --> 00:09:30.660
more of that motorcycle timing and

00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:32.970
you'll have to get a little bit earlier

00:09:32.970 --> 00:09:36.540
face rotation whereas Ned is describing

00:09:36.540 --> 00:09:40.260
letting the toe pass the heel in order

00:09:40.260 --> 00:09:43.770
to square the face and basically move

00:09:43.770 --> 00:09:45.900
the hosel back where it's supposed to be

00:09:45.900 --> 00:09:49.200
so it's not contact techni golf ball too

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:53.580
soon so before we get into some of the

00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:57.420
non shank and nip related questions

00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:59.730
let's go-oh let's transition to the yips

00:09:59.730 --> 00:10:01.290
unless there are any questions that come

00:10:01.290 --> 00:10:03.089
in more on the shanks if your shank in

00:10:03.089 --> 00:10:04.770
the ball watch your weight distribution

00:10:04.770 --> 00:10:06.900
watch your the timing your arm

00:10:06.900 --> 00:10:10.470
straightening and watch the rotation of

00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:13.440
the face it could show up in early

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.150
extension being the weight distribution

00:10:15.150 --> 00:10:18.330
it could show up in getting like overly

00:10:18.330 --> 00:10:21.360
flat or overly shallow with the arm path

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.010
where the clubface that's wide open

00:10:23.010 --> 00:10:25.920
but usually you know shanks don't

00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:27.810
shouldn't be something that you should

00:10:27.810 --> 00:10:30.440
be too afraid of because they're usually

00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.420
one of the easier patterns to solve once

00:10:33.420 --> 00:10:34.230
you break it down

00:10:34.230 --> 00:10:37.380
which brings us next to the Yip which

00:10:37.380 --> 00:10:40.650
the Yip is a little bit trickier so I

00:10:40.650 --> 00:10:46.320
was talking we hosted dr. Debbie Cruz

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.480
and she had some good research with a

00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.460
guy from the Mayo Clinic I think or the

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:55.440
Cleveland Clinic and he was talking

00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.140
about he he was doing a study where they

00:10:58.140 --> 00:11:02.130
can actually test you neurologically see

00:11:02.130 --> 00:11:04.440
if you're having a Yip basically to see

00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.900
if you're having focal dystonia and what

00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:09.060
they found was about seven percent of

00:11:09.060 --> 00:11:10.710
the people who were they were testing

00:11:10.710 --> 00:11:13.230
who claimed to have the yips actually

00:11:13.230 --> 00:11:17.940
had this neurological input so what most

00:11:17.940 --> 00:11:21.000
people have the vast majority so let's

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.270
say 93% of golfers who think that they

00:11:24.270 --> 00:11:28.230
have the yips have more of a anxiety

00:11:28.230 --> 00:11:32.370
bill fear pattern around a shot because

00:11:32.370 --> 00:11:35.580
in order for it to be a true Yip in

00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:38.070
order for it to be focal dystonia

00:11:38.070 --> 00:11:41.970
it is situation independent which means

00:11:41.970 --> 00:11:44.220
if I have you in the most relaxed state

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:46.290
if I have you in your living room you

00:11:46.290 --> 00:11:49.770
know nobody watching just making a

00:11:49.770 --> 00:11:52.260
little putting motion or chipping motion

00:11:52.260 --> 00:11:53.340
because those are the two most common

00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:57.540
times that the it shows up it should

00:11:57.540 --> 00:11:59.670
show up just as frequently with no

00:11:59.670 --> 00:12:03.750
pressure and no you know nothing on the

00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:06.480
line no one watching no anxiety as if

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.060
you had pressure on you if it's more a

00:12:09.060 --> 00:12:12.090
result of I get extra tension because I

00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:15.930
get nervous that is usually more a

00:12:15.930 --> 00:12:21.450
result of a kind of let's say a a

00:12:21.450 --> 00:12:23.970
balance or an imbalance and steep

00:12:23.970 --> 00:12:26.280
shallows and face closing so basically

00:12:26.280 --> 00:12:29.240
your face and path relationship are

00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.410
fragile enough that if you're off by a

00:12:31.410 --> 00:12:34.320
little bit you have a really bad mess

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.649
commonly with putting that would be I'm

00:12:37.649 --> 00:12:40.470
either the cut the putter face is

00:12:40.470 --> 00:12:44.910
getting left open or the path of the

00:12:44.910 --> 00:12:48.180
club is coming way outside in would be

00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:49.889
the most the two most common that I've

00:12:49.889 --> 00:12:53.339
seen and so what ends up happening is

00:12:53.339 --> 00:12:56.279
the Yip either the club face is open and

00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.380
the yep closes it where the putter path

00:12:58.380 --> 00:13:00.000
is going to the left and the yep kind of

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.490
straightens out the path but because of

00:13:02.490 --> 00:13:04.440
the anxiety because of the tension in

00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.250
the forearms it gets overdone and so it

00:13:08.250 --> 00:13:11.160
it looks like a flinch and it produces

00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:15.750
really dramatic misses really bad you

00:13:15.750 --> 00:13:18.389
know two-way or contact misses like it's

00:13:18.389 --> 00:13:24.269
it's unpredictable so I've had what's uh

00:13:24.269 --> 00:13:26.610
the the question that Ryan asked was

00:13:26.610 --> 00:13:30.240
about the Yip do you have to do a really

00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.920
dramatic change because some people will

00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:33.899
say if you got the yips you got a you

00:13:33.899 --> 00:13:35.430
know switch the left-handed or close

00:13:35.430 --> 00:13:38.009
your eyes or change grips if it's truly

00:13:38.009 --> 00:13:42.540
focal dystonia absolutely getting as far

00:13:42.540 --> 00:13:45.149
away from that motor pattern as possible

00:13:45.149 --> 00:13:48.000
is the easiest way to correct it if it's

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.060
more of this anxiety built for your

00:13:51.060 --> 00:13:54.089
pattern sometimes those big changes work

00:13:54.089 --> 00:13:55.850
because it makes it different enough

00:13:55.850 --> 00:13:59.790
especially if that big change helps it

00:13:59.790 --> 00:14:03.000
out so I'll give you an example on one

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:08.100
where that big change could potentially

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:09.959
like help balance things out better like

00:14:09.959 --> 00:14:12.800
let's say you had the chipping yips and

00:14:12.800 --> 00:14:15.569
that was coming because you were overly

00:14:15.569 --> 00:14:17.970
shallow and you know tilting behind the

00:14:17.970 --> 00:14:19.800
golf ball and then you had to kind of

00:14:19.800 --> 00:14:22.019
flip in order to quickly move the bottom

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:25.170
of swing forward well some golfers have

00:14:25.170 --> 00:14:27.540
done well with getting more of a cross

00:14:27.540 --> 00:14:30.680
hand well get putting that left hand low

00:14:30.680 --> 00:14:33.269
helps level out the shoulders which adds

00:14:33.269 --> 00:14:36.839
a little bit more steepness which moves

00:14:36.839 --> 00:14:39.000
the bottom of the swing forward which

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.149
helps prevent your steep shallow balance

00:14:42.149 --> 00:14:42.460
or

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:45.220
helps improve your steep shallow balance

00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:48.130
so if you're having the chip yips

00:14:48.130 --> 00:14:50.650
which I would say I've had more people

00:14:50.650 --> 00:14:52.480
come to me with the what they thought

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.410
were the chipping yips then the putting

00:14:56.410 --> 00:14:58.570
nips and typically with the chipping

00:14:58.570 --> 00:15:01.840
nips I can almost predict what's gonna

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.970
be going on

00:15:02.970 --> 00:15:05.950
typically the upper body is in the lower

00:15:05.950 --> 00:15:07.540
the upper body is well behind the lower

00:15:07.540 --> 00:15:09.010
body so it's got a fair amount of side

00:15:09.010 --> 00:15:11.080
bend and access till usually the head is

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.380
even behind the golf ball and then

00:15:14.380 --> 00:15:17.740
because the body is in an overly shallow

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:20.260
position tilted way behind they're gonna

00:15:20.260 --> 00:15:22.330
drag the handle in order to move the low

00:15:22.330 --> 00:15:24.790
point forward that takes away bounce so

00:15:24.790 --> 00:15:26.650
they get kind of these chunk shots when

00:15:26.650 --> 00:15:27.970
they're scared of that chunk shot they

00:15:27.970 --> 00:15:29.740
pull in but because they were so shallow

00:15:29.740 --> 00:15:33.700
they tend to blade it so typically what

00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:36.280
will happen with chip yips is you have

00:15:36.280 --> 00:15:38.950
to get the posture a little bit more

00:15:38.950 --> 00:15:40.780
vertical so shoulders saying much more

00:15:40.780 --> 00:15:44.620
level eliminate the downward movement

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:46.840
that helps with the pole so get a little

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:48.580
bit more of a cast pattern that'll

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:50.920
improve the use of the balance the turf

00:15:50.920 --> 00:15:52.870
interaction and the low point control

00:15:52.870 --> 00:15:56.500
and then you can continue to work on

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:59.080
getting let's say some body rotation or

00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.730
body pivot on the way through

00:16:00.730 --> 00:16:02.410
that one's usually a little bit easier

00:16:02.410 --> 00:16:06.040
than putting with putting I've only had

00:16:06.040 --> 00:16:12.190
a few cases of yips and let's say one of

00:16:12.190 --> 00:16:15.340
them was true neurological so we had to

00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:18.850
you know go to a long putter to take

00:16:18.850 --> 00:16:22.180
away what the trail cam was doing but

00:16:22.180 --> 00:16:24.790
frequently or the the other few times

00:16:24.790 --> 00:16:26.380
that I've been able to correct the yips

00:16:26.380 --> 00:16:28.750
usually what I'm looking for is when

00:16:28.750 --> 00:16:31.720
there's almost like gapping or floating

00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.390
where basically the grip is moving

00:16:34.390 --> 00:16:36.370
around in the hand and kind of creating

00:16:36.370 --> 00:16:40.630
almost like these little impulses where

00:16:40.630 --> 00:16:43.630
basically the the putter or the the

00:16:43.630 --> 00:16:45.160
putter is pushing against part of the

00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:47.110
hand created almost like a stretch

00:16:47.110 --> 00:16:48.730
shorten and then it gets slingshot

00:16:48.730 --> 00:16:52.480
so getting a little bit more I don't

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:53.710
want to say even grip pressure because

00:16:53.710 --> 00:16:55.780
it's not that but getting a little bit

00:16:55.780 --> 00:16:58.900
better hand a grip contact so that it

00:16:58.900 --> 00:17:01.300
can control the face because that's the

00:17:01.300 --> 00:17:04.000
other thing is oftentimes golfers who

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:08.380
have really good shaft lean really good

00:17:08.380 --> 00:17:10.420
lower body dynamics with their full

00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:12.400
swing are you still having the putter

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.339
come in in more of a open position and

00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:17.199
then rotating it close with that

00:17:17.199 --> 00:17:19.209
motorcycle movement or shaft rotation

00:17:19.209 --> 00:17:21.400
but you can't do that in putting the in

00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.530
putting there so little loft that you

00:17:23.530 --> 00:17:25.540
have to square it more by having the

00:17:25.540 --> 00:17:28.030
putter pass you can't really square it

00:17:28.030 --> 00:17:31.330
by twisting the club so what they'll end

00:17:31.330 --> 00:17:32.860
up doing is they're coming in open and

00:17:32.860 --> 00:17:35.110
then at the last second they'll whip it

00:17:35.110 --> 00:17:37.000
closed with more of kind of that

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.000
flinching movement so working on getting

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.550
a little bit better handed grip contact

00:17:42.550 --> 00:17:45.730
and working on getting the the arc of

00:17:45.730 --> 00:17:48.580
the club or the path to square the face

00:17:48.580 --> 00:17:50.320
as opposed to just twisting the club

00:17:50.320 --> 00:17:54.160
that was usually work pretty well okay

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:58.540
so covered the two major questions both

00:17:58.540 --> 00:18:02.080
from Ryan about the shank and the Yip

00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:04.410
and I've got a couple other questions

00:18:04.410 --> 00:18:09.460
that kind of came in as a result of

00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:12.490
these topics so if you have any any

00:18:12.490 --> 00:18:14.200
questions this is when you get me live I

00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:16.060
love to have some discussions so if you

00:18:16.060 --> 00:18:18.730
want to put them in the chat box I will

00:18:18.730 --> 00:18:22.270
look for them but a question from Steven

00:18:22.270 --> 00:18:25.030
yes do I need to adjust the amount of

00:18:25.030 --> 00:18:29.880
motorcycle for the longer clubs this is

00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:34.240
I'm going to say yes with a caveat so

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.240
we'll talk through it a little bit with

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.550
the with the longer clubs you will

00:18:39.550 --> 00:18:42.460
typically see earlier shaft rotation so

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:44.650
when I look at 3d of let's say a 9-iron

00:18:44.650 --> 00:18:48.070
of a tour pro the clubface is typically

00:18:48.070 --> 00:18:49.690
not rotating a whole lot during that

00:18:49.690 --> 00:18:52.450
early part and then down during the

00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:54.520
release its closing a lot faster where

00:18:54.520 --> 00:18:56.330
with the driver with the

00:18:56.330 --> 00:18:59.419
your clubs it's definitely rotating a

00:18:59.419 --> 00:19:01.789
bit more early in transition so that's

00:19:01.789 --> 00:19:04.580
that motorcycle movement so that they've

00:19:04.580 --> 00:19:09.559
got the club face already in a good

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.620
position so then they can more or less

00:19:11.620 --> 00:19:15.200
rotate and control the strike with the

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.799
body pivot the example I give that where

00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.649
the the metaphor I use is with a longer

00:19:21.649 --> 00:19:23.450
Club has a whole lot more inertia so

00:19:23.450 --> 00:19:25.370
it's harder to mate when it when it's

00:19:25.370 --> 00:19:28.519
moving fast it's longer at extent

00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:30.200
essentially weighs more it's hard to

00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.870
make a rapid change to it it's almost as

00:19:32.870 --> 00:19:34.940
if I had like a 20 pound

00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:38.179
25 pound weight in my hand and I swung

00:19:38.179 --> 00:19:40.399
it back like I was gonna do a bowling

00:19:40.399 --> 00:19:42.380
action and I was going to throw it then

00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:44.000
at the last second I wanted to change

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.090
directions right it would be would be

00:19:47.090 --> 00:19:49.820
really tough to have a dramatic change

00:19:49.820 --> 00:19:52.669
on the trajectory that 25 pound weight

00:19:52.669 --> 00:19:54.440
especially if I waited to change it

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.929
until right at the very end that's more

00:19:56.929 --> 00:20:01.929
like the driver the iron is shorter and

00:20:01.929 --> 00:20:06.110
it doesn't have quite the same you know

00:20:06.110 --> 00:20:08.510
it doesn't have this the same amount of

00:20:08.510 --> 00:20:12.289
resistance so what I used the example of

00:20:12.289 --> 00:20:13.490
like if I had a 5 pound weight in my

00:20:13.490 --> 00:20:15.919
hand and if I had a 5 pound weight and I

00:20:15.919 --> 00:20:17.179
would get it swing yeah it's got some

00:20:17.179 --> 00:20:18.799
momentum going towards the target but

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.779
then at the last second I could probably

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:24.500
change it pretty quickly so if the if

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:26.149
the club is coming in in an open

00:20:26.149 --> 00:20:27.980
position because you haven't done a lot

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:30.289
of the motorcycle with a shorter Club it

00:20:30.289 --> 00:20:32.529
will be easier to kind of time that

00:20:32.529 --> 00:20:39.470
where with the with the the longer Club

00:20:39.470 --> 00:20:42.440
when you've got more resistance you've

00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:44.409
got to start getting it lined up sooner

00:20:44.409 --> 00:20:47.840
also the longer clubs are naturally

00:20:47.840 --> 00:20:50.600
flatter and the flatter something is the

00:20:50.600 --> 00:20:52.580
more it points the club face out to the

00:20:52.580 --> 00:20:54.769
right it opens the club face so you have

00:20:54.769 --> 00:20:56.929
to counterbalance that by getting the

00:20:56.929 --> 00:21:00.110
club face closed earlier because you

00:21:00.110 --> 00:21:02.240
can't use what you could do with an iron

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:03.769
with an iron you can close the face by

00:21:03.769 --> 00:21:06.049
getting steep but with a driver because

00:21:06.049 --> 00:21:09.080
it's built on more of a flat lie that

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:09.740
that

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:12.350
wouldn't work with kind of the design of

00:21:12.350 --> 00:21:15.290
the club and it's got so little loft

00:21:15.290 --> 00:21:16.670
that if you squared it by getting steep

00:21:16.670 --> 00:21:18.740
you just kind of hit this warm burner so

00:21:18.740 --> 00:21:20.780
then you have to hold the face open it

00:21:20.780 --> 00:21:23.330
becomes a big problem okay I see a

00:21:23.330 --> 00:21:26.990
question coming in from Dawn seem to

00:21:26.990 --> 00:21:28.280
have the shanks lately

00:21:28.280 --> 00:21:30.080
oh good hopefully you got to hear that

00:21:30.080 --> 00:21:33.080
first part what causes early extension

00:21:33.080 --> 00:21:36.800
I'm assuming a lack of rotation okay so

00:21:36.800 --> 00:21:37.880
here's the hard thing with early

00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.360
extension but early extension does three

00:21:41.360 --> 00:21:43.700
things they're helpful for hitting a

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.300
golf ball

00:21:44.300 --> 00:21:47.200
it helps shallow it out because

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:50.150
oftentimes golfers get steep and when

00:21:50.150 --> 00:21:51.800
you back up you create a greater

00:21:51.800 --> 00:21:54.650
distance between your chest and the golf

00:21:54.650 --> 00:21:56.059
ball and it'll allow you to straighten

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:57.950
your arms and the wider I get it the

00:21:57.950 --> 00:22:00.520
straighter I get my arms that helps

00:22:00.520 --> 00:22:02.540
shallow out the club because it's

00:22:02.540 --> 00:22:05.450
swinging on a circle that has a wider

00:22:05.450 --> 00:22:08.000
radius so it's got less of a change

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.440
direction and it's lower than the ground

00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.260
coming into it therefore it is more

00:22:12.260 --> 00:22:14.240
shallow the other thing it helps do is

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.370
it helps square the club face so early

00:22:16.370 --> 00:22:19.490
extension by getting the arm to

00:22:19.490 --> 00:22:22.850
straighten will get the club to twist

00:22:22.850 --> 00:22:27.429
close so oftentimes golfers who early

00:22:27.429 --> 00:22:31.010
extension or who struggle with early

00:22:31.010 --> 00:22:32.420
extension will come in with the clubface

00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:34.640
open and they'll use that late early

00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.640
extension to get the club face to shut

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.760
so the hard thing is golfers who are

00:22:40.760 --> 00:22:42.220
struggling with early extension

00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:44.929
oftentimes have to feel that rotation of

00:22:44.929 --> 00:22:48.410
the club but they often struggle with

00:22:48.410 --> 00:22:50.300
hooking it because they let the club

00:22:50.300 --> 00:22:54.260
pass so if you're shanking with the

00:22:54.260 --> 00:22:56.900
early extension check to see like look

00:22:56.900 --> 00:23:00.320
on video and see if the club is well

00:23:00.320 --> 00:23:02.630
open at shaft parallel if that's the

00:23:02.630 --> 00:23:04.190
case then you probably need to get more

00:23:04.190 --> 00:23:07.100
shaft rotation in order to help avoid

00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:10.820
the early extension otherwise it could

00:23:10.820 --> 00:23:12.130
be

00:23:12.130 --> 00:23:15.070
something as simple as yes working on a

00:23:15.070 --> 00:23:17.020
good follow-through position working on

00:23:17.020 --> 00:23:18.429
a position where you have more body

00:23:18.429 --> 00:23:21.370
rotation when the shaft is parallel and

00:23:21.370 --> 00:23:23.950
the follow-through because if you if you

00:23:23.950 --> 00:23:26.230
tend to stall your body with that early

00:23:26.230 --> 00:23:28.030
extension so it stays facing the golf

00:23:28.030 --> 00:23:30.970
ball that'll get the path and the hand

00:23:30.970 --> 00:23:33.730
path both going out towards the target

00:23:33.730 --> 00:23:36.370
line and that combination is gonna move

00:23:36.370 --> 00:23:42.299
the hosel out there 999 times set at 10

00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:45.190
and so that actually transitions well

00:23:45.190 --> 00:23:48.789
into a question I had from Sean one of

00:23:48.789 --> 00:23:50.830
the members of the site he was asking

00:23:50.830 --> 00:23:52.570
about early extension he said his early

00:23:52.570 --> 00:23:57.340
extension went away from some of his his

00:23:57.340 --> 00:24:00.400
work here with a few of our drills but

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.309
now he's worried that his legs are bent

00:24:03.309 --> 00:24:07.450
at impact so he's he's been able to get

00:24:07.450 --> 00:24:11.380
his chest to be more down but now this

00:24:11.380 --> 00:24:13.210
way it's been able to get his chest more

00:24:13.210 --> 00:24:15.220
down but now coming in the impact he has

00:24:15.220 --> 00:24:17.169
a little bit more of kind of that soft

00:24:17.169 --> 00:24:19.809
Bend look where he used to have those

00:24:19.809 --> 00:24:21.220
like straightening but his upper value

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:22.000
would go with it

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.480
oh that's usually a sign that you're

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.090
you're stabilizing and getting the

00:24:28.090 --> 00:24:31.510
pressure from more of the quad going so

00:24:31.510 --> 00:24:32.860
the pressure through that lead foot

00:24:32.860 --> 00:24:35.190
going more into the quad as opposed to

00:24:35.190 --> 00:24:40.919
into the glute that by itself is not a

00:24:40.919 --> 00:24:47.350
dramatic problem I would say that it's

00:24:47.350 --> 00:24:49.600
something to monitor so it depends how

00:24:49.600 --> 00:24:53.080
long you've been like working on your

00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:56.409
chest pain now I never like to move on

00:24:56.409 --> 00:24:58.360
too quickly I want you to let the

00:24:58.360 --> 00:24:59.890
pattern kind of organize and gel a

00:24:59.890 --> 00:25:03.130
little bit so if you've been once I just

00:25:03.130 --> 00:25:07.659
recently improving your chest a noun you

00:25:07.659 --> 00:25:08.799
should probably work on that and not

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.440
really worry too much about the lead leg

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:13.510
buckling on the way through or bending

00:25:13.510 --> 00:25:15.909
on the way through that being said that

00:25:15.909 --> 00:25:17.710
lead leg bending on the way through

00:25:17.710 --> 00:25:19.260
long-term is gonna

00:25:19.260 --> 00:25:21.720
to cause more of a steep angle of attack

00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:24.990
so getting some better bracing can help

00:25:24.990 --> 00:25:28.440
eliminate maybe some poles and some pole

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.960
hooks and would help eliminate some de

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.370
contact so by getting that bracing

00:25:34.370 --> 00:25:36.720
that'll tend to move the hand path a

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:40.020
little bit more around and that'll tend

00:25:40.020 --> 00:25:41.480
to create a little bit more of

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:44.550
shallowness from side Bend and that

00:25:44.550 --> 00:25:46.890
could improve the miss pattern

00:25:46.890 --> 00:25:49.140
especially where I'd be looking would be

00:25:49.140 --> 00:25:52.050
more like the fairway woods or long

00:25:52.050 --> 00:25:55.860
irons if you still playing okay thoughts

00:25:55.860 --> 00:25:57.750
on training aids specifically the

00:25:57.750 --> 00:26:00.420
motorcycle movement and the device like

00:26:00.420 --> 00:26:04.800
the hanger I so will probably do another

00:26:04.800 --> 00:26:07.620
one on stages of learning stages of

00:26:07.620 --> 00:26:10.280
creating awareness I like training aids

00:26:10.280 --> 00:26:13.260
but I like them only for a very short

00:26:13.260 --> 00:26:15.960
amount of time usually at the beginning

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.800
of getting used to a new pattern so the

00:26:19.800 --> 00:26:21.660
problem with the training aid is they're

00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:24.060
usually somewhat expensive and you buy

00:26:24.060 --> 00:26:25.620
it and you feel like you have to use it

00:26:25.620 --> 00:26:28.920
a lot in order to you know justify the

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:30.990
fact that you bought it where you

00:26:30.990 --> 00:26:33.360
usually only want to use it for let's

00:26:33.360 --> 00:26:36.300
say five to ten minutes and then put it

00:26:36.300 --> 00:26:38.220
away for a while and try to take what

00:26:38.220 --> 00:26:39.960
you felt and what you experienced and

00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:44.430
then try to recreate it without the

00:26:44.430 --> 00:26:47.910
benefit of the training 8o because I'll

00:26:47.910 --> 00:26:49.980
I'll do another video on it at some

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:51.390
point but there's basically four stages

00:26:51.390 --> 00:26:55.710
to building awareness there's using an

00:26:55.710 --> 00:26:58.920
external reference they call

00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:00.420
transcendental reference so let's say

00:27:00.420 --> 00:27:02.280
let's say I'm working on posture because

00:27:02.280 --> 00:27:04.770
that's a really easy one so let's say

00:27:04.770 --> 00:27:06.810
I've got a stick or a wall behind me and

00:27:06.810 --> 00:27:08.850
I get my back flat up against the wall

00:27:08.850 --> 00:27:11.130
that's I know that the wall is fixed so

00:27:11.130 --> 00:27:13.050
my brains gonna buy into it it's not

00:27:13.050 --> 00:27:14.850
gonna argue that the wall is crooked so

00:27:14.850 --> 00:27:17.040
it knows that that's straight so there I

00:27:17.040 --> 00:27:20.790
can maybe get straight posture but with

00:27:20.790 --> 00:27:24.330
this fixed external reference the next

00:27:24.330 --> 00:27:26.820
stage would be using

00:27:26.820 --> 00:27:29.380
like outside scepter so basically using

00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:33.059
like my eyes or someone touching me so

00:27:33.059 --> 00:27:35.919
that's where training aids fit in there

00:27:35.919 --> 00:27:37.299
in one of these first two early

00:27:37.299 --> 00:27:39.700
categories so like let's say I had a

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:41.980
mirror or a camera on me and so I was

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:43.809
sitting there I'm like well I man I feel

00:27:43.809 --> 00:27:46.210
straight but I can see on the video that

00:27:46.210 --> 00:27:48.700
I'm not straight so I correct it that

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:50.649
would be stage 2 where it's instantly

00:27:50.649 --> 00:27:55.299
I'm getting a visual receptor or feel

00:27:55.299 --> 00:27:59.289
receptor basically I'm able to see or

00:27:59.289 --> 00:28:01.690
feel where I'm wrong but I don't have an

00:28:01.690 --> 00:28:03.840
external reference that I can rely on

00:28:03.840 --> 00:28:07.570
the next stage would be just using my

00:28:07.570 --> 00:28:09.700
imagination so that would be more like

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:12.850
okay I feel straight but someone just

00:28:12.850 --> 00:28:15.789
told me that I'm not straight he didn't

00:28:15.789 --> 00:28:18.640
tell me if I'm not straight this way or

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:19.990
I'm not straight this way I have to

00:28:19.990 --> 00:28:25.149
figure it out and then the last stage

00:28:25.149 --> 00:28:28.480
would be let's say I could control it

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:32.020
when someone told me you know they say

00:28:32.020 --> 00:28:34.450
no I'm not straight and I I fixed my

00:28:34.450 --> 00:28:36.669
posture the next stage would be fixing

00:28:36.669 --> 00:28:39.010
my posture and doing something else so

00:28:39.010 --> 00:28:42.760
it's like come you know complex movement

00:28:42.760 --> 00:28:46.059
so now I'm doing I'm fixing my posture

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:48.909
and I'm running forward and running side

00:28:48.909 --> 00:28:50.080
to side like I have to do all these

00:28:50.080 --> 00:28:51.669
other things while keeping my posture

00:28:51.669 --> 00:28:53.409
the hard thing is that the golf swing

00:28:53.409 --> 00:28:55.990
really fits into that third category

00:28:55.990 --> 00:28:57.940
because you have to do a couple things

00:28:57.940 --> 00:29:00.789
at once so if you use the training aid

00:29:00.789 --> 00:29:02.590
to say work on the motorcycle that's

00:29:02.590 --> 00:29:04.750
good for stage 1 training but then you

00:29:04.750 --> 00:29:07.360
need to progress through to stage 2

00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:09.580
stage 3 stage 4 before it's really going

00:29:09.580 --> 00:29:11.320
to show up on the golf course so what

00:29:11.320 --> 00:29:13.360
can happen is you get a you do a

00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:15.610
training aid you get better results with

00:29:15.610 --> 00:29:17.830
your practice but it you haven't walked

00:29:17.830 --> 00:29:20.529
through the progress of how to train the

00:29:20.529 --> 00:29:23.440
brain for the complex model it's going

00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.240
to need on the course so then you hit

00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.250
work shots on the course compared to

00:29:27.250 --> 00:29:29.049
practice and that creates a frustration

00:29:29.049 --> 00:29:31.049
yet

00:29:31.049 --> 00:29:34.000
that's my only criticism with training

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.860
it says you have to understand what

00:29:35.860 --> 00:29:38.040
they're good at and where they

00:29:38.040 --> 00:29:41.810
or created okay

00:29:41.810 --> 00:29:45.780
questioning or comment in from out of

00:29:45.780 --> 00:29:49.050
nowhere axis and spine till are very

00:29:49.050 --> 00:29:51.600
unnatural move through the ball just go

00:29:51.600 --> 00:29:53.820
with it and work on clearing the hips

00:29:53.820 --> 00:29:57.300
and early extension will clear up so I

00:29:57.300 --> 00:29:59.130
always point out that you you know

00:29:59.130 --> 00:30:01.140
hitting the wall solidly is a balance of

00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:04.140
your steeps and shallows and rotation is

00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:05.880
a steep inner so if you're already steep

00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.880
and that early extension is one of your

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.360
main ways of shallowing it then if you

00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:13.950
eliminate early extension that makes it

00:30:13.950 --> 00:30:15.630
steeper and if you add rotation that

00:30:15.630 --> 00:30:17.640
makes it steeper so you've got to add

00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:19.560
something a shallow somewhere else it's

00:30:19.560 --> 00:30:21.390
either gonna be access tilt or something

00:30:21.390 --> 00:30:22.410
with the arms

00:30:22.410 --> 00:30:25.050
most Tour Pros do it more with the axis

00:30:25.050 --> 00:30:29.370
though okay Ben Hogan blades 55 years

00:30:29.370 --> 00:30:31.650
old Champions Tour beside that video

00:30:31.650 --> 00:30:34.500
added nine yards carry in seven times 17

00:30:34.500 --> 00:30:36.570
yards overall to my drives thank you

00:30:36.570 --> 00:30:39.660
you're very welcome I can't tell you how

00:30:39.660 --> 00:30:44.760
often I hear golfers come in when

00:30:44.760 --> 00:30:46.290
they're struggling with their driver and

00:30:46.290 --> 00:30:48.930
they're really trying to get their

00:30:48.930 --> 00:30:51.030
weight in their upper body on top of

00:30:51.030 --> 00:30:52.860
that front leg you know kind of that old

00:30:52.860 --> 00:30:55.650
Jimmy Ballard style of just or you know

00:30:55.650 --> 00:30:58.470
finishing in a vertical posture towards

00:30:58.470 --> 00:31:02.420
the golf ball so I'm happy to to help

00:31:02.420 --> 00:31:06.660
support the the hang back or getting a

00:31:06.660 --> 00:31:08.250
little bit better line of pressure where

00:31:08.250 --> 00:31:09.660
your upper body is behind your lower

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:12.510
body behind your foot to balance out the

00:31:12.510 --> 00:31:13.800
pole the club and create a little more

00:31:13.800 --> 00:31:16.530
shallow angle attack I see improvements

00:31:16.530 --> 00:31:19.620
like that 20 yards nine yards carry in

00:31:19.620 --> 00:31:23.010
pretty quickly especially for fifty

00:31:23.010 --> 00:31:25.290
five-year-olds pretty good job okay

00:31:25.290 --> 00:31:26.970
out of nowhere do you think aiming one

00:31:26.970 --> 00:31:29.460
fin one inch in front of the ball helps

00:31:29.460 --> 00:31:31.550
with wall first contact yes especially

00:31:31.550 --> 00:31:35.490
especially for some golfers are more

00:31:35.490 --> 00:31:38.760
visual dominant than others I'm I

00:31:38.760 --> 00:31:41.120
personally am more field dominant so I

00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:45.180
almost lose visual awareness over the

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:46.500
wall I kind of see it in my peripheral

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:48.510
I'm not really overly focused but I've

00:31:48.510 --> 00:31:51.139
had a lot of guys who are very

00:31:51.139 --> 00:31:56.240
and especially at first focusing a

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:57.799
little bit in front of the golf ball can

00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:59.929
be helpful what I usually do is I'll do

00:31:59.929 --> 00:32:01.549
something simple like the line drill and

00:32:01.549 --> 00:32:03.590
figure out what do you have to think

00:32:03.590 --> 00:32:05.600
about in order if you get the club to

00:32:05.600 --> 00:32:07.190
bottom out a little bit in front of golf

00:32:07.190 --> 00:32:09.320
ball and for many of them they'll just

00:32:09.320 --> 00:32:11.990
say well I looked there and then when

00:32:11.990 --> 00:32:13.070
they get to the golf ball I say well

00:32:13.070 --> 00:32:13.850
where were you looking

00:32:13.850 --> 00:32:15.860
and they'll say the back of the wall so

00:32:15.860 --> 00:32:17.480
I'll say okay wolf when you were hitting

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.190
the ground where we wanted you were

00:32:19.190 --> 00:32:22.730
looking here and or bring my hand out so

00:32:22.730 --> 00:32:23.809
when we were hitting the ground where we

00:32:23.809 --> 00:32:25.730
wanted you we're looking here and then

00:32:25.730 --> 00:32:27.379
you went to hit a golf ball and you

00:32:27.379 --> 00:32:30.980
moved your focus to there so looking one

00:32:30.980 --> 00:32:32.330
inch in front of the golf ball can be

00:32:32.330 --> 00:32:33.679
very helpful

00:32:33.679 --> 00:32:35.809
what well you have to be careful with is

00:32:35.809 --> 00:32:38.330
some golfers that look more one inch in

00:32:38.330 --> 00:32:39.889
front of the golf ball tend to get a

00:32:39.889 --> 00:32:41.539
little bit more of a lunge with their

00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:42.889
upper body to move the bottom of swing

00:32:42.889 --> 00:32:46.309
forward so if you do that and let's say

00:32:46.309 --> 00:32:49.399
you're hitting either deeper divots or

00:32:49.399 --> 00:32:53.600
you're hitting kind of YP cuts then make

00:32:53.600 --> 00:32:56.090
sure that you're not getting your look

00:32:56.090 --> 00:32:59.559
ahead of the golf ball by by lunging

00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.330
that would be my only caution with that

00:33:02.330 --> 00:33:04.820
Ned your website and new book are

00:33:04.820 --> 00:33:07.249
fantastic and each chance you might add

00:33:07.249 --> 00:33:09.230
a strength and flexibility portion to

00:33:09.230 --> 00:33:10.690
your website

00:33:10.690 --> 00:33:14.059
any chance I would say yes there is a

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:14.840
chance

00:33:14.840 --> 00:33:17.899
I've been studying under gya for the

00:33:17.899 --> 00:33:21.619
last few years and I've I've developed a

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:24.289
whole new appreciation for how detailed

00:33:24.289 --> 00:33:28.369
it is to do proper stretching to the

00:33:28.369 --> 00:33:32.539
point where it is I'd say it's almost

00:33:32.539 --> 00:33:36.490
impossible to get someone to stretch

00:33:36.490 --> 00:33:40.970
perfectly through website and I kind of

00:33:40.970 --> 00:33:43.730
am a little bit of a unless I can do it

00:33:43.730 --> 00:33:45.230
right I don't want to try it at all so

00:33:45.230 --> 00:33:47.450
I'm a little hesitant with that but I'll

00:33:47.450 --> 00:33:49.369
see what I'll see what I can come up

00:33:49.369 --> 00:33:52.070
with over over this next you know six

00:33:52.070 --> 00:33:55.580
eight months or so because I know that

00:33:55.580 --> 00:33:57.799
it's a it is an important part I'm you

00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:02.240
know I was just put on the Gulf Digest

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:06.490
top fitness trainer list I do believe in

00:34:06.490 --> 00:34:09.950
strength and flexibility as part of

00:34:09.950 --> 00:34:15.919
training for golf but it's tricky to do

00:34:15.919 --> 00:34:17.629
through online it's a lot easier to get

00:34:17.629 --> 00:34:19.820
people to improve their swings online

00:34:19.820 --> 00:34:25.010
than it is to stretch properly all right

00:34:25.010 --> 00:34:27.560
Kevin golf at what stage in the

00:34:27.560 --> 00:34:30.350
downswing do you like to see side tilt

00:34:30.350 --> 00:34:35.710
kick in and where does it maximize the

00:34:35.710 --> 00:34:39.730
so the side tilt well usually there's a

00:34:39.730 --> 00:34:42.679
there's a reason why I kind of break the

00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:44.960
swing into transition and then release

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:48.830
at the end of transition so somewhere

00:34:48.830 --> 00:34:51.290
kind of around here is usually when

00:34:51.290 --> 00:34:54.619
shoulders are level pelvis is square and

00:34:54.619 --> 00:34:56.419
I've reached as much flexion as I'm

00:34:56.419 --> 00:34:58.970
going to go into so from here I'm

00:34:58.970 --> 00:35:00.850
basically gonna go into side Bend

00:35:00.850 --> 00:35:03.410
extension as I continue rotating so the

00:35:03.410 --> 00:35:06.440
side Bend really starts to kick in after

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:11.960
that initial movement there so after

00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:13.730
that little left tilt gets that pressure

00:35:13.730 --> 00:35:15.830
it'll start going into side Bend and it

00:35:15.830 --> 00:35:18.280
will reach its maximum usually by

00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.900
follow-through position so when the when

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:23.000
the shaft is roughly parallel in the

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.590
follow-through that's when most golfers

00:35:24.590 --> 00:35:29.510
will reach their maximum side then good

00:35:29.510 --> 00:35:31.640
question also love the book wish there

00:35:31.640 --> 00:35:34.270
was one for instructors

00:35:34.270 --> 00:35:38.200
stay tuned we're working on stuff okay

00:35:38.200 --> 00:35:42.980
motox Ben Myers right arm is longer than

00:35:42.980 --> 00:35:46.910
left do two surgeries do you on what

00:35:46.910 --> 00:35:50.810
would you help me at impact all right so

00:35:50.810 --> 00:35:55.670
I just had a student who flew in here

00:35:55.670 --> 00:35:58.460
who had a similar situation where he

00:35:58.460 --> 00:36:00.619
broke his radius and through the healing

00:36:00.619 --> 00:36:02.840
process his right arm was maybe about

00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:07.190
this much shorter we did a lot of right

00:36:07.190 --> 00:36:09.500
arm training because what was happening

00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:13.040
was the the left arm was bending a

00:36:13.040 --> 00:36:14.450
little bit

00:36:14.450 --> 00:36:16.770
basically as a protection from getting

00:36:16.770 --> 00:36:18.870
pulled out by the right arm so we had a

00:36:18.870 --> 00:36:22.020
little bit of an extra scoop or flip to

00:36:22.020 --> 00:36:23.940
it we started with the right arm

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:27.570
training and then we went into left

00:36:27.570 --> 00:36:30.020
wrist training but we were a little bit

00:36:30.020 --> 00:36:34.950
less less picky on doing the left arm

00:36:34.950 --> 00:36:39.960
stuff perfectly so getting getting more

00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:43.740
of the trail arm trail shoulder working

00:36:43.740 --> 00:36:47.660
perfectly was a big part of the pattern

00:36:47.660 --> 00:36:51.120
so I would definitely look at the single

00:36:51.120 --> 00:36:55.110
arm drills the the right arm only the

00:36:55.110 --> 00:36:56.760
right arm shop put whatever you need to

00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.990
do to get that right arm working I want

00:37:00.990 --> 00:37:06.060
to say cleanly but I've found in the

00:37:06.060 --> 00:37:08.280
past that it's easier to train the good

00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:12.900
arm than to struggle too much with the

00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:14.130
bad arm you basically just make sure

00:37:14.130 --> 00:37:15.750
have to make sure that the bad arm is

00:37:15.750 --> 00:37:19.140
not so bad that it messes up with the

00:37:19.140 --> 00:37:26.060
good arms trying to do so it's not a

00:37:26.060 --> 00:37:28.440
it's gonna change a little bit of a look

00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:30.060
you'll probably have more of a look of

00:37:30.060 --> 00:37:33.690
almost like a Chad Campbell or even say

00:37:33.690 --> 00:37:35.550
a Jordan speith where the right arm gets

00:37:35.550 --> 00:37:37.320
fully extended that would be one of my

00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:39.450
big follow-through keys more so than the

00:37:39.450 --> 00:37:41.190
left arm being perfect just working on

00:37:41.190 --> 00:37:43.470
making sure that left wrist isn't set

00:37:43.470 --> 00:37:47.480
isn't sabotaging the right arm extension

00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:53.390
ok I got one more question coming in

00:37:53.390 --> 00:37:57.450
we've got Ben Hogan blades what is the

00:37:57.450 --> 00:37:59.370
best thing to work on indoors during the

00:37:59.370 --> 00:38:03.090
winter so if what I usually like to work

00:38:03.090 --> 00:38:05.490
on in the winter is the stuff that is

00:38:05.490 --> 00:38:09.000
the hardest to do during the season and

00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.070
that's a little bit case-by-case

00:38:11.070 --> 00:38:13.110
so I usually break golfers into two

00:38:13.110 --> 00:38:15.030
categories you're either really good

00:38:15.030 --> 00:38:16.579
with your body

00:38:16.579 --> 00:38:18.619
kind of unaware of your hands or you're

00:38:18.619 --> 00:38:20.269
really good with your hands and kind of

00:38:20.269 --> 00:38:22.130
unaware of your body whichever one

00:38:22.130 --> 00:38:25.400
you're unaware of I usually train harder

00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:29.449
in the offseason and because you can do

00:38:29.449 --> 00:38:31.880
a lot of good stuff indoors so that's

00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:33.640
why I have drills on the website on

00:38:33.640 --> 00:38:36.259
isolating the body pivots isolating how

00:38:36.259 --> 00:38:39.170
the legs work or isolating what the arms

00:38:39.170 --> 00:38:42.640
do the other thing that you can work on

00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:46.009
indoors during the offseason is you can

00:38:46.009 --> 00:38:48.289
really work on your fitness if you've

00:38:48.289 --> 00:38:50.689
got somebody in your area who's really

00:38:50.689 --> 00:38:52.130
good and can teach you how to stretch

00:38:52.130 --> 00:38:53.449
properly

00:38:53.449 --> 00:38:55.819
I love el Della's they're they're great

00:38:55.819 --> 00:38:58.189
for spine health I've been studying them

00:38:58.189 --> 00:39:00.199
the last few years and have a really

00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.539
good success with that especially for

00:39:02.539 --> 00:39:05.569
golfers who have l5 s1 back pain stuff

00:39:05.569 --> 00:39:08.989
so that's good things to do during the

00:39:08.989 --> 00:39:13.929
winter the the things that I think are

00:39:13.929 --> 00:39:17.859
harder to work on during the winter I

00:39:17.859 --> 00:39:20.539
think it's harder to work on a lot of

00:39:20.539 --> 00:39:22.609
like the shot shaping skills like the

00:39:22.609 --> 00:39:25.119
fine-tuning trajectory control

00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:28.339
especially you know if you're working

00:39:28.339 --> 00:39:29.779
indoors obviously you don't have any of

00:39:29.779 --> 00:39:32.599
that what usually ends up happening is

00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:35.479
when you're practicing indoors your feet

00:39:35.479 --> 00:39:38.359
have a much better connection to the

00:39:38.359 --> 00:39:41.329
ground than when you're on grass it's

00:39:41.329 --> 00:39:43.089
almost like the difference between doing

00:39:43.089 --> 00:39:45.380
beach volleyball versus indoor

00:39:45.380 --> 00:39:48.049
volleyball right so what frequently

00:39:48.049 --> 00:39:49.939
happens is if you do a ton of indoor

00:39:49.939 --> 00:39:53.420
practice and then you go out onto the

00:39:53.420 --> 00:39:55.640
course and the grass is especially this

00:39:55.640 --> 00:39:56.989
time of year it's usually a little bit

00:39:56.989 --> 00:39:59.660
soggy err because of you know the other

00:39:59.660 --> 00:40:04.309
the melted snow or or whatever you'll

00:40:04.309 --> 00:40:06.949
tend to not be able to use your pivot

00:40:06.949 --> 00:40:08.749
quite as well which tends to affect low

00:40:08.749 --> 00:40:12.709
point so I tend to work on kind of the

00:40:12.709 --> 00:40:14.749
the bigger more challenging skills

00:40:14.749 --> 00:40:16.999
during the winter knowing that we're

00:40:16.999 --> 00:40:18.949
gonna have a little bit of sacrifice

00:40:18.949 --> 00:40:23.509
probably in in scoring all right so

00:40:23.509 --> 00:40:25.640
you're so you like to practice impact

00:40:25.640 --> 00:40:29.240
drills but everyone is lacking in

00:40:29.240 --> 00:40:32.240
different areas yeah I mean the the golf

00:40:32.240 --> 00:40:35.170
swing is definitely let's say

00:40:35.170 --> 00:40:37.660
complicated to say the least and so

00:40:37.660 --> 00:40:41.240
understanding your keys is really

00:40:41.240 --> 00:40:44.900
important so impact drills low point

00:40:44.900 --> 00:40:48.560
drills those can be pretty good but

00:40:48.560 --> 00:40:49.880
during the winter I think is the best

00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:51.800
time to get a little bit more technical

00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:54.290
during the season I like to get I like

00:40:54.290 --> 00:40:55.430
to spend a little bit more time with

00:40:55.430 --> 00:41:01.820
skill building less so than less so then

00:41:01.820 --> 00:41:03.650
kind of your fine motor your precision

00:41:03.650 --> 00:41:06.710
stuff okay David Howell one of my old

00:41:06.710 --> 00:41:09.110
Denver students it's gonna be ten

00:41:09.110 --> 00:41:11.090
degrees high at broken tea this weekend

00:41:11.090 --> 00:41:14.930
yeah here in California I mean it was

00:41:14.930 --> 00:41:17.119
only it only it got up to like 65 you

00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:19.940
can see I'm in a sweater so it's it's

00:41:19.940 --> 00:41:22.510
pretty tough out here too we we can both

00:41:22.510 --> 00:41:26.650
we're both feeling the the winter pain

00:41:26.650 --> 00:41:29.570
okay so I'm gonna I'm gonna wrap this up

00:41:29.570 --> 00:41:31.130
I appreciate any questions if you want

00:41:31.130 --> 00:41:34.460
to email questions I can Star Trek

00:41:34.460 --> 00:41:36.109
creating a list for the next one of

00:41:36.109 --> 00:41:38.900
these that I'll do they seem to be seem

00:41:38.900 --> 00:41:41.869
to be fun and well-received and it gives

00:41:41.869 --> 00:41:43.700
me a good chance to interact with some

00:41:43.700 --> 00:41:46.000
of you who I don't get to see personally

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:48.830
if you haven't checked out either the

00:41:48.830 --> 00:41:52.150
website or the book always reference

any reviews that you can give those

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:06.680
there's helped me figure out what we

00:42:06.680 --> 00:42:08.090
need to do better for the next version

00:42:08.090 --> 00:42:11.180
and then we're constantly updating you
