00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:10.830
all right YouTube live thank you for
00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:14.190
tuning in and welcome to another edition
00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:17.430
of the live Q&A sessions these are
00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:20.340
largely for me to help support the the
00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:22.199
questions that I get from the members of
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.019
my website called Smart Academy so most
00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:27.599
of the questions have been sent in
00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:30.630
previously but if you have a question
00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:33.239
I'll be checking periodically over in
00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:35.820
the chat window so if I say something
00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:38.040
that piques your interest and you want
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:38.940
to know about it
00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:40.680
type in there and I'll do my best to get
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:44.280
to it now I did have a good number of
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.940
questions this time so I am not quite
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.800
sure how many of the chat questions I'll
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:54.360
be able to get to but the I like to
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.680
break him into themes based on the
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:57.780
questions or these Facebook live events
00:00:57.780 --> 00:00:59.550
I like to break him into themes based on
00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:03.359
the questions that I get and it seemed
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.100
like a lot of the questions this time
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:07.049
we're revolving around taking the get
00:01:07.049 --> 00:01:10.200
your game from the range to the course
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.049
so taking the your game from the driving
00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:15.509
range or just your stock swing and then
00:01:15.509 --> 00:01:17.189
being able to perform either under
00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:20.790
pressure or just on the course so I'll
00:01:20.790 --> 00:01:23.009
jump into some of these questions first
00:01:23.009 --> 00:01:26.939
question I had was from David he he was
00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:29.189
asking what happens to your body under
00:01:29.189 --> 00:01:31.970
pressure so why is it that you can shoot
00:01:31.970 --> 00:01:35.070
72 with some of your friends but then
00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:36.630
you get determined and it's hard to
00:01:36.630 --> 00:01:41.340
break 80 right so in general the what
00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:42.899
happens under pressure is your stress
00:01:42.899 --> 00:01:45.509
response alright and when you when you
00:01:45.509 --> 00:01:47.310
have get put in a stressful environment
00:01:47.310 --> 00:01:51.200
you get some Hornet hormone adaptations
00:01:51.200 --> 00:02:01.799
and I get so real quick I I sent a chat
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.110
right before I got started but in case
00:02:04.110 --> 00:02:05.850
you didn't get it please introduce
00:02:05.850 --> 00:02:08.069
yourself when you ask a question all
00:02:08.069 --> 00:02:10.509
it'll help me know who was talking
00:02:10.509 --> 00:02:13.090
and prioritize what to do anyway back to
00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:15.909
Davis question so getting under pressure
00:02:15.909 --> 00:02:18.790
you get a hormone response you get more
00:02:18.790 --> 00:02:20.680
blood flow going to your core muscles
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.510
than the muscles that are designed to
00:02:22.510 --> 00:02:25.090
either fight or flight and help you run
00:02:25.090 --> 00:02:27.220
away from stuff and you get less blood
00:02:27.220 --> 00:02:28.810
flow going to your arms and your
00:02:28.810 --> 00:02:32.079
forearms you under under stress you
00:02:32.079 --> 00:02:33.780
rarely would need you know
00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:36.099
evolutionarily you would need wouldn't
00:02:36.099 --> 00:02:38.049
need a whole lot of fine motor skills so
00:02:38.049 --> 00:02:40.450
typically what will happen is your
00:02:40.450 --> 00:02:42.819
forearm movements will become more
00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:46.030
robotic a little bit and your core
00:02:46.030 --> 00:02:49.389
muscles your power sources will tend to
00:02:49.389 --> 00:02:52.389
get amplified so let's a couple of
00:02:52.389 --> 00:02:54.430
common scenarios one would be like early
00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:56.319
extension and two would be like an upper
00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:00.489
body spin so in early extension I have
00:03:00.489 --> 00:03:03.519
to time the the flip and my upper body
00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:05.049
is gonna back away from the golf ball
00:03:05.049 --> 00:03:07.720
well under pressure my core muscles are
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:10.780
going to pull me a little bit more or a
00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:12.670
little further away from the golf ball
00:03:12.670 --> 00:03:14.769
or it might pull at a slightly different
00:03:14.769 --> 00:03:17.139
timing because now there's more blood
00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:20.290
flow going to that part of my body so
00:03:20.290 --> 00:03:23.739
that puts more of a let's say timing
00:03:23.739 --> 00:03:25.660
component to the exact timing of when I
00:03:25.660 --> 00:03:29.500
flip in order to control low point and
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:32.079
so what can happen under pressure is you
00:03:32.079 --> 00:03:33.699
start to have a little bit of poor
00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:36.099
performance because you have these these
00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:37.690
things that are now slightly out of
00:03:37.690 --> 00:03:39.459
sequence instead of working well
00:03:39.459 --> 00:03:40.870
together like they were doing when you
00:03:40.870 --> 00:03:44.139
were in rhythm on the range basically
00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:46.150
when you're in rhythm on the range all
00:03:46.150 --> 00:03:48.099
that means is that the timing of your
00:03:48.099 --> 00:03:50.739
movements are matching up so that you're
00:03:50.739 --> 00:03:52.449
pretty precise with where you're
00:03:52.449 --> 00:03:56.709
controlling the bottom but when you get
00:03:56.709 --> 00:03:59.139
on the course some of those timings can
00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:00.669
change and so that's part of the reason
00:04:00.669 --> 00:04:04.150
why we train more of a centered location
00:04:04.150 --> 00:04:05.889
of your pivot and earlier closing the
00:04:05.889 --> 00:04:08.109
clubface because that doesn't take
00:04:08.109 --> 00:04:12.250
nearly as much timing as that does and
00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:15.819
so if I do that motion which usually
00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:17.859
accompanies early extension I do that
00:04:17.859 --> 00:04:20.590
motion down at the bottom I'm gonna have
00:04:20.590 --> 00:04:22.770
fat shots thin shot so I could have
00:04:22.770 --> 00:04:24.540
heel-toe depending on what's going on
00:04:24.540 --> 00:04:27.030
with my body or what's going on with my
00:04:27.030 --> 00:04:29.270
shoulders so it creates more
00:04:29.270 --> 00:04:32.190
inconsistency and then you get nervous
00:04:32.190 --> 00:04:34.889
on top of being stressed and that
00:04:34.889 --> 00:04:37.770
typically causes you to do it even worse
00:04:37.770 --> 00:04:40.350
and then what happens is usually you
00:04:40.350 --> 00:04:43.710
have a few bad holes you burn off kind
00:04:43.710 --> 00:04:45.660
of that nervous energy your your body
00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:48.150
starts to come back down and then you
00:04:48.150 --> 00:04:51.840
play well and you save the round the
00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:53.669
other option would be golfers who are a
00:04:53.669 --> 00:04:55.470
little bit more of an upper body lunge
00:04:55.470 --> 00:04:58.020
and pull right and then they have to
00:04:58.020 --> 00:05:01.560
bend in chicken wing like this well what
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.479
can happen is under pressure they either
00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:05.280
pull a little sooner because of the
00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:07.080
increased blood flow or they pull a
00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:10.260
little harder which causes their their
00:05:10.260 --> 00:05:11.820
chicken wing to happen a little bit
00:05:11.820 --> 00:05:15.479
later and that combination causes just
00:05:15.479 --> 00:05:17.669
as many contact wrong so that's the
00:05:17.669 --> 00:05:19.800
general recipe as to why your ball
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.370
striking would get worse under pressure
00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:27.510
now we can we can look at situations
00:05:27.510 --> 00:05:30.349
like David also asked about JB Holmes
00:05:30.349 --> 00:05:32.760
you know having that four minutes in
00:05:32.760 --> 00:05:38.580
between the his shots on Sunday I what
00:05:38.580 --> 00:05:40.349
can happen is when you start going into
00:05:40.349 --> 00:05:43.260
that stress response you can either have
00:05:43.260 --> 00:05:46.169
what we call an upward spiral where you
00:05:46.169 --> 00:05:48.810
start building a whole lot of anxiety or
00:05:48.810 --> 00:05:51.000
you have a downward spiral where you
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.710
start building a whole lot of doom and
00:05:52.710 --> 00:05:54.419
gloom this is never going to work
00:05:54.419 --> 00:06:00.330
and the there's a whole section just in
00:06:00.330 --> 00:06:03.060
front of your spine these are these
00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:05.789
nerve ganglion and their whole job is to
00:06:05.789 --> 00:06:09.660
help you physically manifest emotions so
00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:13.199
like for example the classic one is
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.389
someone who is depressed isn't going to
00:06:15.389 --> 00:06:17.460
be walking around with their chest out
00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:19.650
right they're going to typically walk
00:06:19.650 --> 00:06:22.830
around with their chest depressed and
00:06:22.830 --> 00:06:24.889
taking kind of short shallow breaths
00:06:24.889 --> 00:06:29.160
well there are physical relationships to
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.320
each emotion
00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:32.660
and so if you have different emotional
00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:34.910
control on the range as you do on the
00:06:34.910 --> 00:06:37.280
course that can change some of the
00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:38.750
geometry and when we're dealing with a
00:06:38.750 --> 00:06:40.060
sport where the object is moving
00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:43.310
100-plus miles an hour and the
00:06:43.310 --> 00:06:45.170
difference between a good shot is one
00:06:45.170 --> 00:06:47.870
degree or two degrees of face angle now
00:06:47.870 --> 00:06:49.550
you start changing these big body
00:06:49.550 --> 00:06:52.190
movements and you're gonna get less
00:06:52.190 --> 00:06:54.320
consistent in JB Holmes's case I think
00:06:54.320 --> 00:06:56.030
he just kind of got into one of those
00:06:56.030 --> 00:06:58.970
spirals and started stopped or started
00:06:58.970 --> 00:07:02.000
to kind of overthinking himself and
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.550
that'll transition us to one of another
00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:11.840
question that I had which is relating to
00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:14.030
what you should think about more when
00:07:14.030 --> 00:07:15.200
you're on the course like should you
00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:17.870
focus on certain body parts and that
00:07:17.870 --> 00:07:20.930
question came from Sharon she was asking
00:07:20.930 --> 00:07:23.020
basically how much awareness to specific
00:07:23.020 --> 00:07:25.940
muscles in the kinematic sequence should
00:07:25.940 --> 00:07:27.650
you have and should that change from
00:07:27.650 --> 00:07:31.640
practice to playing so when you're
00:07:31.640 --> 00:07:35.450
there's there's a simple little path as
00:07:35.450 --> 00:07:40.250
far as what's going on during the round
00:07:40.250 --> 00:07:41.620
of golf right you're gonna have
00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:43.400
everybody's describing them differently
00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:45.740
I talked about it in my book Pia and
00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:47.120
Lynne have done a whole lot with it but
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.040
basically you've before the shot they
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:50.390
call it the think box
00:07:50.390 --> 00:07:52.760
you've got during the shot the play box
00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:55.460
after the shot and memory zone or memory
00:07:55.460 --> 00:07:58.580
box basically what are you gonna do
00:07:58.580 --> 00:08:00.440
before the shot while you're executing
00:08:00.440 --> 00:08:03.970
and how are you gonna respond to it well
00:08:03.970 --> 00:08:06.950
before the shot your goal is to make
00:08:06.950 --> 00:08:10.250
that as simple as possible your but you
00:08:10.250 --> 00:08:11.780
want to factor in all the information
00:08:11.780 --> 00:08:14.680
and get 100% committed to a decision
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.320
there's there's some simple little
00:08:17.320 --> 00:08:19.820
applied kinesiology things you can do to
00:08:19.820 --> 00:08:22.280
show yourself that if you have doubt you
00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:23.840
will have a different level of tension
00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:25.520
going on in your body than if you are
00:08:25.520 --> 00:08:28.760
confident there it's been duplicated in
00:08:28.760 --> 00:08:32.500
many studies I use it all the time so
00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:35.690
and there's two different places that
00:08:35.690 --> 00:08:37.430
you really want to look at do I have
00:08:37.430 --> 00:08:39.860
doubt one is my mind which is is this
00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:41.330
the right shot you know hey it's a
00:08:41.330 --> 00:08:42.990
dogleg left and there
00:08:42.990 --> 00:08:45.030
water on the left do I really want to
00:08:45.030 --> 00:08:47.160
hit this draw around the corner or am I
00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:49.560
scared over the water right or do I want
00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:50.990
to play a little bit safer that's more
00:08:50.990 --> 00:08:54.180
intellectual and then you've got your
00:08:54.180 --> 00:08:56.100
gut response which would be more like
00:08:56.100 --> 00:08:59.360
okay I look at it it looks like a draw
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.710
logically it should be a draw but you
00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:03.030
know what I'm just feeling more of a
00:09:03.030 --> 00:09:04.860
fade in my body maybe it's the live the
00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:06.660
tea box or something but I'm feeling
00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:10.650
more of this fade shot well if you have
00:09:10.650 --> 00:09:12.780
a conflict between what's going on in
00:09:12.780 --> 00:09:13.890
your mind and what you're feeling in
00:09:13.890 --> 00:09:16.890
your body always go with your body the
00:09:16.890 --> 00:09:20.820
if you there's it's deeper it's more
00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:22.200
primal it's more connected to movement
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.450
so if you start going just with your
00:09:24.450 --> 00:09:26.880
intellect you're gonna you're gonna go
00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:29.790
down some bad pathways and I think JB
00:09:29.790 --> 00:09:32.190
was struggling with what did he want to
00:09:32.190 --> 00:09:33.690
do versus what did he think he should do
00:09:33.690 --> 00:09:39.600
so that takes us to the question from
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.430
Sharon about where should you be paying
00:09:41.430 --> 00:09:44.070
attention well let's will break your
00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:45.270
brain into like two different sections
00:09:45.270 --> 00:09:47.040
you got like language centers which
00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:49.170
would be like areas where you're
00:09:49.170 --> 00:09:51.270
consciously aware so like if you're
00:09:51.270 --> 00:09:53.850
hearing yourself talk you're in the
00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:55.560
language center cuz you're using words
00:09:55.560 --> 00:09:58.530
then you have sensations so what do I
00:09:58.530 --> 00:10:04.110
see what do I hear what do I feel all
00:10:04.110 --> 00:10:06.870
that great stuff so you've got language
00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:09.900
centers or aware like you know actual
00:10:09.900 --> 00:10:12.270
words and then you've got feelings when
00:10:12.270 --> 00:10:13.740
you're executing when you're in that
00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:17.310
play box operation zone you want to be
00:10:17.310 --> 00:10:19.470
feeling you do not want to be thinking
00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:23.310
so what can happen on the course is you
00:10:23.310 --> 00:10:24.840
start you get on the course and you
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.390
start running more of a checklist and
00:10:27.390 --> 00:10:29.010
you're telling yourself okay what did I
00:10:29.010 --> 00:10:31.140
work on in my last lesson making sure
00:10:31.140 --> 00:10:32.670
that I do it and you become kind of
00:10:32.670 --> 00:10:35.010
you're reminding yourself of what you
00:10:35.010 --> 00:10:36.420
were doing but you're moving yourself to
00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:38.310
the wrong part of the brain where when
00:10:38.310 --> 00:10:39.810
you're on the range and you're just kind
00:10:39.810 --> 00:10:42.900
of swinging you're probably not talking
00:10:42.900 --> 00:10:44.810
to yourself too much you may be using a
00:10:44.810 --> 00:10:48.240
verbal cue to cue a physical movement
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.760
but for the most part you're just moving
00:10:50.760 --> 00:10:54.190
you're just kind of in repetition zone
00:10:54.190 --> 00:10:57.310
in movement zone more in sensing zone so
00:10:57.310 --> 00:10:59.639
the key is building a pre-shot routine
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.550
that helps you get into the movement
00:11:03.550 --> 00:11:05.920
zone and that last stage of your
00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:07.990
pre-shot routine is thinking about what
00:11:07.990 --> 00:11:09.399
shot do I want to hit and what am I
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.740
gonna feel or what am I gonna try to
00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:14.560
sense when I'm in that play box if you
00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:16.959
don't have those to figure it out then
00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:19.779
you're probably gonna struggle when you
00:11:19.779 --> 00:11:24.069
get under pressure the the other
00:11:24.069 --> 00:11:28.930
question related to awareness and you
00:11:28.930 --> 00:11:32.819
know what you should be thinking feeling
00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:36.670
another let's say another subcategory of
00:11:36.670 --> 00:11:38.889
that problem would be when you're when
00:11:38.889 --> 00:11:41.139
you're in that play box you want to make
00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:42.639
sure that you're experiencing the whole
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.709
swing and not breaking or in not
00:11:44.709 --> 00:11:48.279
focusing individually on one part so
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.500
let's say let's say you're working on
00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:53.110
early extension and so your state you're
00:11:53.110 --> 00:11:55.120
working on keeping your body down and
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.439
maybe shadowing a bit more with your
00:11:56.439 --> 00:11:58.300
arms and maybe a little earlier closing
00:11:58.300 --> 00:12:00.910
so you're working on those things what
00:12:00.910 --> 00:12:03.069
you want to do is when you're building
00:12:03.069 --> 00:12:05.170
that pre-shot thought you want to make
00:12:05.170 --> 00:12:07.120
sure it includes how the swing starts
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.980
how the swing evolves and then how the
00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:10.689
swing ends so that you can have focus
00:12:10.689 --> 00:12:13.779
and kind of clarity of what movement
00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:15.040
you're gonna do or what's when you're
00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:17.920
gonna make during the entire swing if
00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:20.949
you only have a back swing thought and
00:12:20.949 --> 00:12:23.620
you get up there and then your brain is
00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:24.939
kind of like well what was I supposed to
00:12:24.939 --> 00:12:26.949
do next that can create a little extra
00:12:26.949 --> 00:12:29.860
tension that could create a little bit
00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:32.410
less consistent let's say energy
00:12:32.410 --> 00:12:35.139
transfer that can mess up the bottom of
00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:36.730
your swing I can mess up your sequencing
00:12:36.730 --> 00:12:42.430
a little bit so while you can be focused
00:12:42.430 --> 00:12:44.410
on one part of your swing you need a
00:12:44.410 --> 00:12:47.139
general global focus of how that's going
00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:49.569
to interact with the whole swing not
00:12:49.569 --> 00:12:52.480
just that one area so that's part of the
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.329
reason why on the course typically
00:12:55.329 --> 00:12:58.540
external focus do pretty well for a lot
00:12:58.540 --> 00:13:01.809
of golfers now I'm on the odd ball end
00:13:01.809 --> 00:13:05.700
of the spectrum where I've you know put
00:13:05.700 --> 00:13:09.380
put the devices on and when I focus on
00:13:09.380 --> 00:13:10.530
movements
00:13:10.530 --> 00:13:15.450
I am my brain is calmer I've I perform
00:13:15.450 --> 00:13:17.370
better I see you better than if I just
00:13:17.370 --> 00:13:19.920
think about the target there was one
00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:22.320
study done that showed that if you
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.340
focused on or they basically just
00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:27.930
interviewed major champion winners and
00:13:27.930 --> 00:13:29.400
they found that there were four common
00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:31.590
things that they paid attention to one
00:13:31.590 --> 00:13:34.740
had a specific feeling of what they
00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:36.330
wanted their body to do during the swing
00:13:36.330 --> 00:13:39.540
one had a specific feeling of what they
00:13:39.540 --> 00:13:42.330
wanted the club to do one had no thought
00:13:42.330 --> 00:13:44.340
whatsoever and the other group had
00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:47.070
target thoughts only so it shows that
00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:49.320
you can have different areas of focus
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:54.090
and execute well but I I always caution
00:13:54.090 --> 00:13:55.890
my golfers with using the word swing
00:13:55.890 --> 00:13:57.840
thought and trying to get in and more of
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:03.810
a swing feeling okay so that gives kind
00:14:03.810 --> 00:14:05.610
of a general picture as far as what
00:14:05.610 --> 00:14:06.690
you're trying to do when you go to the
00:14:06.690 --> 00:14:10.380
course you're going to try and get into
00:14:10.380 --> 00:14:12.360
this field zone by using a good pre shot
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.190
routine so you can have both your heart
00:14:14.190 --> 00:14:15.810
or both your body and your brain
00:14:15.810 --> 00:14:17.580
committed to the shot and you have one
00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:19.740
clear focus to execute during the shot
00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:21.120
now what are some of the other
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.980
challenges when you go from the range to
00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:25.740
the course well when you go to the
00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:27.990
course you're gonna have uneven lies
00:14:27.990 --> 00:14:29.610
you're gonna have different distances
00:14:29.610 --> 00:14:33.750
and many amateurs don't practice that so
00:14:33.750 --> 00:14:36.450
I had another question from David about
00:14:36.450 --> 00:14:38.820
if you had approximately ten hours per
00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:41.670
week how would you break it up so if you
00:14:41.670 --> 00:14:43.200
had ten hours a week for practice I'm
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.090
not counting like rounds that you're
00:14:45.090 --> 00:14:47.730
playing with people and kind of you know
00:14:47.730 --> 00:14:49.380
your buddies or weekend rounds your
00:14:49.380 --> 00:14:51.120
middle two-week rounds 10 hours for
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.990
practice I would roughly let's say I
00:14:54.990 --> 00:14:57.450
take 4 hours of that and I'd want to be
00:14:57.450 --> 00:15:00.390
practicing on the course so that could
00:15:00.390 --> 00:15:02.040
be whatever I'm working on with my game
00:15:02.040 --> 00:15:03.930
I'm gonna be doing in the course
00:15:03.930 --> 00:15:06.510
environment the other six hours I would
00:15:06.510 --> 00:15:09.420
do about two-thirds of ball striking one
00:15:09.420 --> 00:15:12.450
third short game so I got six hours I'm
00:15:12.450 --> 00:15:15.060
gonna spend four of it working on ball
00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:18.180
striking privatising iron play and shots
00:15:18.180 --> 00:15:18.870
off the tee
00:15:18.870 --> 00:15:22.529
and then I'm going to work on for two
00:15:22.529 --> 00:15:24.589
hours I'm gonna work on wedge play
00:15:24.589 --> 00:15:27.150
chipping pitching putting chipping
00:15:27.150 --> 00:15:28.950
pitching basically my stock shots inside
00:15:28.950 --> 00:15:32.040
20 yards distance wedges would probably
00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:35.370
get maybe a half hour 45 minutes tops
00:15:35.370 --> 00:15:37.350
and then putting would probably get a
00:15:37.350 --> 00:15:43.170
full so we'll say half hour for chipping
00:15:43.170 --> 00:15:45.089
pitching half hour for distance wedge
00:15:45.089 --> 00:15:49.020
hour for putting and then the rest of
00:15:49.020 --> 00:15:52.200
the time for ball straight I still had
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:53.760
that four hours on the course where I
00:15:53.760 --> 00:15:56.430
get to work on those things but in more
00:15:56.430 --> 00:15:58.560
the game environment the the metaphor
00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:01.050
the analogy I give is imagine you were
00:16:01.050 --> 00:16:04.170
in school and you had one classroom
00:16:04.170 --> 00:16:06.930
where you took every single test so you
00:16:06.930 --> 00:16:08.279
had like your learning zone where you
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.110
went in hung out with your friends and
00:16:10.110 --> 00:16:12.000
paid attention to class and then you had
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.529
this other room where you went and
00:16:13.529 --> 00:16:15.960
that's where you took every test to
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:17.550
imagine the response you'd have when you
00:16:17.550 --> 00:16:20.910
walk towards the test some cop sometimes
00:16:20.910 --> 00:16:22.650
you might be really confident going to
00:16:22.650 --> 00:16:24.209
that room other times you might be
00:16:24.209 --> 00:16:25.709
really depressed but there would
00:16:25.709 --> 00:16:28.589
definitely be a change in how you felt
00:16:28.589 --> 00:16:30.630
going to that classroom because this was
00:16:30.630 --> 00:16:32.850
a special testing environment and I find
00:16:32.850 --> 00:16:35.130
that a lot of golfers make that make the
00:16:35.130 --> 00:16:38.400
mistake of creating that situation out
00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:40.410
of the golf course where they only keeps
00:16:40.410 --> 00:16:44.220
go on the golf course to keep score many
00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:47.010
you know every tour pro I've ever worked
00:16:47.010 --> 00:16:48.930
with every good amateur collegiate
00:16:48.930 --> 00:16:51.089
golfer we do a lot of practicing on the
00:16:51.089 --> 00:16:53.550
course so like let's say I get in a good
00:16:53.550 --> 00:16:55.800
groove with my swing I'm just gonna go
00:16:55.800 --> 00:16:58.050
play three or five holes and practice on
00:16:58.050 --> 00:16:59.850
the course now I recommend or I
00:16:59.850 --> 00:17:02.250
recognize that some of you may be at
00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:03.959
more public courses but with facilities
00:17:03.959 --> 00:17:07.290
and you can't do that but I'm giving you
00:17:07.290 --> 00:17:10.500
what I think is optimal so even if it's
00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:12.270
doing like twilight rounds by yourself
00:17:12.270 --> 00:17:13.890
where you can get some practice in on
00:17:13.890 --> 00:17:15.689
the course I think that's very helpful
00:17:15.689 --> 00:17:19.260
I have a number of ways to do variety
00:17:19.260 --> 00:17:22.199
practice on the range that can help and
00:17:22.199 --> 00:17:26.160
I've been doing some some success with
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.950
okay what happens on the course is you
00:17:28.950 --> 00:17:30.840
face these uneven lives right so when
00:17:30.840 --> 00:17:31.950
you're facing these uneven
00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:34.680
you want your gonna change a little bit
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.620
how you're going to power this wing so
00:17:37.620 --> 00:17:39.390
you can't use your legs as well you got
00:17:39.390 --> 00:17:41.730
to use a little bit more upper-body your
00:17:41.730 --> 00:17:43.140
weight distribution will be a little bit
00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:45.330
different so essentially it's like
00:17:45.330 --> 00:17:46.950
moving the ball position and stance
00:17:46.950 --> 00:17:49.650
around so I do little games on the range
00:17:49.650 --> 00:17:51.390
where I have you move the ball position
00:17:51.390 --> 00:17:53.600
forward move the ball position backward
00:17:53.600 --> 00:17:56.640
put weight left weight right swing more
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.190
arms swing more legs or closed stance
00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:01.050
open stance and by adding some of those
00:18:01.050 --> 00:18:04.560
variety and trying to duplicate the same
00:18:04.560 --> 00:18:06.930
shot shape it forces your brain to work
00:18:06.930 --> 00:18:10.190
the equation of how do I swing this club
00:18:10.190 --> 00:18:12.780
the same way but using a different
00:18:12.780 --> 00:18:14.010
pattern and because that's ultimately
00:18:14.010 --> 00:18:15.930
what you have to do on the course if you
00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:18.750
play a lot of flat courses and you just
00:18:18.750 --> 00:18:20.400
need to work more on trajectory and
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.400
distance control and then I do more
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.220
things working on off speed hits and
00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:28.470
tempo drills but if you're playing
00:18:28.470 --> 00:18:30.210
courses that have slopes like our home
00:18:30.210 --> 00:18:32.670
course messing around with ball position
00:18:32.670 --> 00:18:35.340
and different stances can help it
00:18:35.340 --> 00:18:39.150
transfer over okay so now I'm just gonna
00:18:39.150 --> 00:18:42.260
jump into some of these more general
00:18:42.260 --> 00:18:47.160
questions let's see where do we want to
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.670
start okay Mike asked about if your
00:18:50.670 --> 00:18:53.520
shanking the trail arm only drill why
00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:58.680
might that happen so let me grab the
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.670
club essentially wanna shank you can
00:19:02.670 --> 00:19:05.220
I've got my mini club here we'll be able
00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:07.470
to see if I'm doing my trailer I'm only
00:19:07.470 --> 00:19:10.740
drill if the the club and the hosel was
00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:12.270
moving out that way that would be one
00:19:12.270 --> 00:19:14.460
cause of the shank or if the clubface is
00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:16.650
coming in super wide open that would be
00:19:16.650 --> 00:19:18.540
another cause of the shape the things
00:19:18.540 --> 00:19:20.310
that are going to move my hand and the
00:19:20.310 --> 00:19:22.770
hosel out that way would be more of an
00:19:22.770 --> 00:19:24.690
early extension pattern so if some
00:19:24.690 --> 00:19:27.250
golfers shifting too much into their toe
00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:29.920
moving their hands in doubt will cause
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.560
more of that shank pattern and one of
00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:33.850
the other common ones is if you're
00:19:33.850 --> 00:19:36.700
getting more of the movement through the
00:19:36.700 --> 00:19:39.220
ball from straightening that arm or
00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:41.050
straightening that arm into the ball as
00:19:41.050 --> 00:19:44.350
opposed to having more of that trail
00:19:44.350 --> 00:19:46.690
wrist rotation and a little bit more of
00:19:46.690 --> 00:19:48.460
that white movement which delays the
00:19:48.460 --> 00:19:50.920
straightening new york if you straighten
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:53.050
your arm think about this way I'm set up
00:19:53.050 --> 00:19:55.600
I've got a probably 20 degrees 30
00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:56.680
degrees of our mend
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.050
if I just straighten that arm that by
00:19:59.050 --> 00:20:02.670
itself can move the club further out so
00:20:02.670 --> 00:20:04.810
what I would need to do is if I
00:20:04.810 --> 00:20:06.640
straighten my arm I would need to stand
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.320
up the right amount or early extend to
00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:10.480
bring it back in in place and when
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.670
you're doing these small drills it's
00:20:12.670 --> 00:20:14.530
rare that you would have enough early
00:20:14.530 --> 00:20:16.690
extension to compensate for that early
00:20:16.690 --> 00:20:20.050
arm action so I work on rotating the
00:20:20.050 --> 00:20:22.330
club and getting the arm to extend
00:20:22.330 --> 00:20:23.980
through the shot instead of into the
00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:27.490
shot that usually clears up the shanks
00:20:27.490 --> 00:20:29.470
but at the very least I would do the
00:20:29.470 --> 00:20:31.600
shank drill where you put T's at
00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:34.360
different spots just outside just inside
00:20:34.360 --> 00:20:38.680
to get aware of where the club is he had
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:43.090
another question about if you get toe
00:20:43.090 --> 00:20:46.300
deep why would you want more early why
00:20:46.300 --> 00:20:50.220
would you want more owner deviation well
00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:53.830
the way that the wrists work is somewhat
00:20:53.830 --> 00:20:56.230
in combination they're not pure movement
00:20:56.230 --> 00:20:57.940
so you would you would assume that okay
00:20:57.940 --> 00:21:00.370
the club is like this and then I go toe
00:21:00.370 --> 00:21:02.380
deep or a owner deviate make it was down
00:21:02.380 --> 00:21:05.290
like that but what actually happens is I
00:21:05.290 --> 00:21:08.410
owner deviate so then it actually
00:21:08.410 --> 00:21:10.180
rotates the face a little bit more
00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:12.370
increase more shaft lean so you see I
00:21:12.370 --> 00:21:14.830
barely went more toe deep what I really
00:21:14.830 --> 00:21:19.570
did was all-new deviation now the camera
00:21:19.570 --> 00:21:21.250
is going to show it going a little bit
00:21:21.250 --> 00:21:23.200
more like lefty but the only deviation
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:27.670
creates more chef lean kind of like this
00:21:27.670 --> 00:21:29.850
and it creates that within
00:21:29.850 --> 00:21:31.830
the in the way through it doesn't
00:21:31.830 --> 00:21:34.650
necessarily create a whole lot of toe
00:21:34.650 --> 00:21:37.590
down drop toe down drop
00:21:37.590 --> 00:21:39.809
tends to happen more when you're getting
00:21:39.809 --> 00:21:42.650
a lot of flexion of that trail wrist
00:21:42.650 --> 00:21:45.840
because what will happen there is that
00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:48.840
flexion of the trail wrist will tend to
00:21:48.840 --> 00:21:53.400
pull the toe in and across so then when
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:57.090
I have my body usually that's company
00:21:57.090 --> 00:21:59.220
with a little bit of a stall pattern but
00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:01.080
if I have that pattern coming across
00:22:01.080 --> 00:22:03.600
like this that's gonna cause that toe to
00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:07.710
dig not just this way and under like you
00:22:07.710 --> 00:22:10.350
think a flip would do but it'll actually
00:22:10.350 --> 00:22:13.140
take the trailers into earlier deviation
00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:19.080
sooner so trying to get that lead wrist
00:22:19.080 --> 00:22:21.539
ulnar deviation helps create that
00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:24.330
forward shaft lean and the the tricky
00:22:24.330 --> 00:22:25.890
thing with the trail wrist is getting
00:22:25.890 --> 00:22:27.539
the ulnar deviation while maintaining
00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:29.250
the extension because if you start going
00:22:29.250 --> 00:22:32.909
into flexion then you'll typically go
00:22:32.909 --> 00:22:35.010
into internal rotation and that by
00:22:35.010 --> 00:22:38.820
itself will if I exaggerate it make the
00:22:38.820 --> 00:22:41.250
toe a little bit deeper than the heel so
00:22:41.250 --> 00:22:45.210
older deviation is one of those key key
00:22:45.210 --> 00:22:47.880
movements for shallowing out the swing
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:50.400
from the arms and allowing for perform
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.610
rotation which creates shaft lean so if
00:22:53.610 --> 00:22:58.860
you're not doing that movement it uh it
00:22:58.860 --> 00:23:00.840
can create a whole host of contact
00:23:00.840 --> 00:23:05.010
problems before I jump in to some of the
00:23:05.010 --> 00:23:06.809
other emailed questions I see that we
00:23:06.809 --> 00:23:09.450
got a few coming in here in the chat
00:23:09.450 --> 00:23:14.610
window alright Mike asked I tend to
00:23:14.610 --> 00:23:16.409
stand more vertically as the round
00:23:16.409 --> 00:23:18.900
progresses probably due to casting and
00:23:18.900 --> 00:23:23.460
fear of hitting it fat yes I I would say
00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:26.070
that that's that's a common trait it's
00:23:26.070 --> 00:23:27.780
good to know what happens to your body
00:23:27.780 --> 00:23:31.289
under pressure or under fatigue in this
00:23:31.289 --> 00:23:33.900
case and that's why reigning
00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:35.700
adaptability is more important than
00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:37.950
training consistency you can work on
00:23:37.950 --> 00:23:41.100
your endurance in training in in the gym
00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:42.460
and stuff like
00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:45.340
but it's also good to work on the skills
00:23:45.340 --> 00:23:49.019
where you can hit a solid shot from a
00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:52.179
slightly taller posture you can hit a
00:23:52.179 --> 00:23:55.380
slight solid shot from more arm action
00:23:55.380 --> 00:23:58.059
because if I knew that I was casting I
00:23:58.059 --> 00:24:00.580
would basically you know take a half
00:24:00.580 --> 00:24:02.620
more Club and play a little cut and I
00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:04.330
could probably score pretty well doing
00:24:04.330 --> 00:24:07.299
that so knowing what's gonna happen to
00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:09.940
you under pressure or under fatigue is
00:24:09.940 --> 00:24:13.899
really important one of my there was one
00:24:13.899 --> 00:24:17.320
year where I recognized that most of my
00:24:17.320 --> 00:24:19.659
rounds under par that year came in
00:24:19.659 --> 00:24:24.250
second rounds of 36-hole tournaments so
00:24:24.250 --> 00:24:26.590
it was interesting because I made the
00:24:26.590 --> 00:24:28.570
connection that basically as I got more
00:24:28.570 --> 00:24:29.440
fatigue
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:32.380
my lower body got quieter and I got a
00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:34.809
little less early extension like I got
00:24:34.809 --> 00:24:37.600
more contribution of the upper body and
00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:41.110
I could hit more like flighted irons
00:24:41.110 --> 00:24:43.059
where the first round I typically took
00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:45.460
more full cuts at stuff and my proximity
00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:48.220
the hole got better when I would hit
00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:50.320
these more flight at iron shots so I
00:24:50.320 --> 00:24:52.389
learned from that that I needed to
00:24:52.389 --> 00:24:54.190
practice more of these flight at iron
00:24:54.190 --> 00:24:57.190
shots and not just rely on being tired
00:24:57.190 --> 00:25:02.200
in order to do so daniel is asking do
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.000
you find competitive practice such as a
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.190
small waste wager helpful to bridge
00:25:06.190 --> 00:25:08.799
between practice and course or is
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:10.240
competition and distraction from what
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:11.409
you were trying to actually accomplish
00:25:11.409 --> 00:25:15.490
no the so talking with Debbie Cruz who's
00:25:15.490 --> 00:25:18.010
one of the kind of grandmothers of the
00:25:18.010 --> 00:25:21.639
neuroscience stuff she she reiterated
00:25:21.639 --> 00:25:24.460
multiple times that you just have to
00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:26.350
elevate the stress level a little bit in
00:25:26.350 --> 00:25:29.620
order to train the brain to what it's
00:25:29.620 --> 00:25:33.130
going to experience when you get under
00:25:33.130 --> 00:25:35.350
pressure it's not that you have to get
00:25:35.350 --> 00:25:36.789
it all the way to what its gonna feel
00:25:36.789 --> 00:25:39.159
like Sunday at the Masters in order to
00:25:39.159 --> 00:25:42.340
have the benefit so little games little
00:25:42.340 --> 00:25:45.940
small wagers um in addition to variety
00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:47.710
practice I like to have my students try
00:25:47.710 --> 00:25:50.559
to hit three or five good shots in a row
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:51.140
so
00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:54.530
say you're just you know you you've hit
00:25:54.530 --> 00:25:56.090
a bunch of 7 irons now you're like okay
00:25:56.090 --> 00:25:57.500
in order to leave in order to switch
00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:59.360
clubs I got hit three perfect seven
00:25:59.360 --> 00:26:01.280
irons in a row and just having that
00:26:01.280 --> 00:26:03.500
pressure on the third one of okay I got
00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:05.600
a I gotta focus on this will elevate
00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:08.450
things enough that it will show you what
00:26:08.450 --> 00:26:10.310
kind of disruptions you're gonna get and
00:26:10.310 --> 00:26:13.580
it'll help you like learn to train the
00:26:13.580 --> 00:26:16.040
pattern in a more stress state so good
00:26:16.040 --> 00:26:18.470
question Patrick Miller can we see the
00:26:18.470 --> 00:26:25.490
net force on 2d video the there there is
00:26:25.490 --> 00:26:29.720
one on both the site and on YouTube send
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.760
me a direct question to support at golf
00:26:31.760 --> 00:26:33.230
Smart Academy comm because I'm not quite
00:26:33.230 --> 00:26:35.930
sure what that's related to but that
00:26:35.930 --> 00:26:38.960
will I can I can get you the link to
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:40.550
whatever video you're you're hoping to
00:26:40.550 --> 00:26:45.470
watch there okay back to the pre or the
00:26:45.470 --> 00:26:49.000
emailed questions Tom asked about
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:51.800
external rotation of the lead knee and
00:26:51.800 --> 00:26:57.410
hip so basically asking you know Dana
00:26:57.410 --> 00:26:59.660
Dahlquist George can kiss or two other
00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:03.350
popular online golf instructors and they
00:27:03.350 --> 00:27:06.080
never talk about the Jackson 5 was one
00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:10.840
of his comments so I would say that that
00:27:10.840 --> 00:27:14.510
I'm typically working with a higher
00:27:14.510 --> 00:27:16.550
handicap golfer then it appears that
00:27:16.550 --> 00:27:18.650
they are working with so here's how I
00:27:18.650 --> 00:27:21.680
think through the process we know that
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:24.620
from 3d and motion analysis that the
00:27:24.620 --> 00:27:26.500
pelvis moves about four to six inches
00:27:26.500 --> 00:27:29.150
towards the target during the downswing
00:27:29.150 --> 00:27:32.630
now I've done literally thousands of 3ds
00:27:32.630 --> 00:27:35.270
on high hand yet high handicap golfers
00:27:35.270 --> 00:27:38.120
and rarely do I see them moving more
00:27:38.120 --> 00:27:41.090
than three inches now that being said I
00:27:41.090 --> 00:27:43.190
have a number of juniors where that's
00:27:43.190 --> 00:27:45.710
moving 10 inches towards the target so
00:27:45.710 --> 00:27:48.170
when I have golfers who have really
00:27:48.170 --> 00:27:51.170
excessive pelvis movement and getting 10
00:27:51.170 --> 00:27:52.940
inches of movement towards the target i
00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:55.790
cue them to work a little bit more
00:27:55.790 --> 00:27:57.440
almost feeling like their hips are going
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.880
that way and their upper body is gonna
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.660
cover very much like you know a movement
00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:04.360
that you might see from
00:28:04.360 --> 00:28:06.760
georgina but if you already have more of
00:28:06.760 --> 00:28:10.990
a spin than getting that early bump that
00:28:10.990 --> 00:28:14.260
a lot of good competitive golfers have
00:28:14.260 --> 00:28:17.320
described typically helps out especially
00:28:17.320 --> 00:28:20.980
the higher handicap slice golfer or
00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:25.600
golfer who slices the wall so I I don't
00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:28.960
think there's one right feeling I I say
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:30.850
this all the time your feels change if I
00:28:30.850 --> 00:28:33.850
ask you how you I've had students do
00:28:33.850 --> 00:28:35.380
this where I'll say you know what just
00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:37.630
for fun in the morning and in the
00:28:37.630 --> 00:28:39.010
evening just write down how your body
00:28:39.010 --> 00:28:41.559
feels just do it for a week and what
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:43.240
you'll find is that your body does not
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.490
feel exactly the same every single day
00:28:45.490 --> 00:28:48.700
so if you're looking for an absolute
00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:50.260
feeling that you're gonna be able to use
00:28:50.260 --> 00:28:53.740
forever with your swing you're you're
00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:55.870
chasing your going down the wrong path
00:28:55.870 --> 00:28:58.690
what you want is relationships and ball
00:28:58.690 --> 00:29:01.299
flights and you need like maybe four or
00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:03.880
five different feels that help you get
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:05.559
the face to path you want get the low
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:07.120
point control you want get the power
00:29:07.120 --> 00:29:09.640
sources that you want in order to
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.520
produce good shots because one other
00:29:12.520 --> 00:29:13.929
thing with taking it to the course is
00:29:13.929 --> 00:29:16.210
you have to recognize when you have your
00:29:16.210 --> 00:29:17.679
a-game when you have your B game when
00:29:17.679 --> 00:29:19.210
you have your C game and how do you
00:29:19.210 --> 00:29:22.330
adapt your your strategy on the course
00:29:22.330 --> 00:29:25.030
base - based on how your body is feeling
00:29:25.030 --> 00:29:26.950
that day and if you're the type of
00:29:26.950 --> 00:29:28.600
person who just says you know what I
00:29:28.600 --> 00:29:32.110
feel the same every single day and I'm
00:29:32.110 --> 00:29:33.700
looking you know it should feel like
00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:35.890
this it should feel like this what will
00:29:35.890 --> 00:29:37.780
happen is you'll get into a good groove
00:29:37.780 --> 00:29:39.460
where the feel works and they will come
00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:41.020
out the next day you'll try the feel and
00:29:41.020 --> 00:29:43.600
it doesn't work because you don't have a
00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:47.140
calibration so for example going let
00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:49.600
external in your hips is great if it
00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:51.760
improves your sequencing in gets you
00:29:51.760 --> 00:29:54.100
that four to six inches of pelvis shift
00:29:54.100 --> 00:29:56.790
if going external in your lead hip
00:29:56.790 --> 00:29:59.650
causes your hips actually to stay more
00:29:59.650 --> 00:30:02.260
over the right foot and not have a whole
00:30:02.260 --> 00:30:03.760
lot of shift and your upper body does
00:30:03.760 --> 00:30:06.400
actually get ahead of it then you're
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.630
probably going to struggle a lot with
00:30:07.630 --> 00:30:11.380
the longer clubs so if trying the
00:30:11.380 --> 00:30:13.960
Jackson 5 causes you to get 10 inches of
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:16.210
shift where you already have 10 inches
00:30:16.210 --> 00:30:16.809
of shift
00:30:16.809 --> 00:30:18.879
then trying something like the external
00:30:18.879 --> 00:30:21.220
rotation of the lead knee could be very
00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:24.009
helpful so you got to know your swing in
00:30:24.009 --> 00:30:27.549
your pattern and figure out drills that
00:30:27.549 --> 00:30:29.919
are based on good checkpoints to help
00:30:29.919 --> 00:30:31.659
get you to actually do it and then you
00:30:31.659 --> 00:30:32.799
can come up with what it should feel
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:34.330
like I don't think everybody should have
00:30:34.330 --> 00:30:38.110
the same feels all right Dean asked
00:30:38.110 --> 00:30:40.570
about hand path hand path going outward
00:30:40.570 --> 00:30:43.149
early how do you get it to go back in
00:30:43.149 --> 00:30:46.210
while the club goes out this is this is
00:30:46.210 --> 00:30:51.429
a very kind of hot topic which is
00:30:51.429 --> 00:30:54.279
basically during transition here we'll
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:56.639
angle that up a little bit
00:30:56.639 --> 00:31:02.019
good so during transition the the handle
00:31:02.019 --> 00:31:05.230
will have a force that takes it out this
00:31:05.230 --> 00:31:07.960
way now oftentimes it's it looks a
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:09.249
little bit more like this where
00:31:09.249 --> 00:31:12.190
basically my hands are moving that way
00:31:12.190 --> 00:31:15.039
oh all exaggerated my hands are moving
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.129
that way and the club is moving that way
00:31:18.129 --> 00:31:19.690
there's a difference they're not moving
00:31:19.690 --> 00:31:21.879
in the same direction so like in this
00:31:21.879 --> 00:31:25.029
the club is moving that way and my hands
00:31:25.029 --> 00:31:27.519
are moving that way if they go in the
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:29.169
same direction if your club and your
00:31:29.169 --> 00:31:31.210
hands goes in the same direction then
00:31:31.210 --> 00:31:33.759
when your hands go to the left the club
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:35.619
is gonna follow it so they go in the
00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:37.059
same direction and then they go to the
00:31:37.059 --> 00:31:41.590
left well what that means the way that
00:31:41.590 --> 00:31:43.450
they're the Tour Pros are able to get
00:31:43.450 --> 00:31:46.450
this look where basically the hands are
00:31:46.450 --> 00:31:50.529
going as the club is going out that
00:31:50.529 --> 00:31:53.049
happens from this little shallow
00:31:53.049 --> 00:31:56.289
movement of letting the club's sweetspot
00:31:56.289 --> 00:31:58.749
drop behind the hand path so that then
00:31:58.749 --> 00:32:02.169
when I pull in it's going to line back
00:32:02.169 --> 00:32:03.940
up and it's gonna fly out like that so
00:32:03.940 --> 00:32:06.820
basically if you have if you have a hard
00:32:06.820 --> 00:32:09.249
time getting that movement then you're
00:32:09.249 --> 00:32:10.600
gonna have a hard time getting the hands
00:32:10.600 --> 00:32:12.879
to go left it'll typically happen is if
00:32:12.879 --> 00:32:14.619
the hands work more down and they're in
00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:16.869
line with the club then they'll tend to
00:32:16.869 --> 00:32:19.840
go more out through the wall and if they
00:32:19.840 --> 00:32:22.149
go out through the ball you'll tend to
00:32:22.149 --> 00:32:25.090
have a little more fat thin contact
00:32:25.090 --> 00:32:28.269
little shorter flat spot might struggle
00:32:28.269 --> 00:32:29.340
with over hooking
00:32:29.340 --> 00:32:30.780
and definitely would struggle with
00:32:30.780 --> 00:32:34.650
wedges so if you're having trouble
00:32:34.650 --> 00:32:35.940
getting your hands to go to the left
00:32:35.940 --> 00:32:37.920
then I would say you got to work on the
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.620
shallow movement early in order to set
00:32:40.620 --> 00:32:43.620
you up so that you can have that go more
00:32:43.620 --> 00:32:48.110
around into the left okay I had a
00:32:48.110 --> 00:32:52.260
question from McDonald this is a good
00:32:52.260 --> 00:32:53.430
one
00:32:53.430 --> 00:32:55.890
is there a swing that is easier on the
00:32:55.890 --> 00:32:57.270
back you know with all these guys
00:32:57.270 --> 00:33:01.260
getting back injuries it's it's tempting
00:33:01.260 --> 00:33:05.970
to go down that rabbit hole here's the
00:33:05.970 --> 00:33:08.640
the simple science as I understand it
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:11.220
from working more on the rehab side as
00:33:11.220 --> 00:33:15.360
well as the golf side in order to put as
00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:17.040
little stress on the back as possible
00:33:17.040 --> 00:33:19.200
you want to use your whole spine in your
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:21.630
whole body as much as possible so then
00:33:21.630 --> 00:33:24.720
it's distributing the load more evenly
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:26.910
basically when you bracket weight back
00:33:26.910 --> 00:33:28.920
when you're back breaks down there's a
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:30.870
load put on your back that is too great
00:33:30.870 --> 00:33:32.670
for your back to handle so you can
00:33:32.670 --> 00:33:36.480
either get your back in great shape so
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.240
that it can handle more load or
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:41.490
distribute the load to other places or
00:33:41.490 --> 00:33:44.670
decrease the load so basically you could
00:33:44.670 --> 00:33:46.350
swing slower so that there's less force
00:33:46.350 --> 00:33:48.660
coming back up but nobody really wants
00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:52.050
to do that so then you could try and
00:33:52.050 --> 00:33:54.360
distribute the load better by using your
00:33:54.360 --> 00:33:57.750
hips and using your spine usually what
00:33:57.750 --> 00:33:59.820
happens is if your ribcage becomes a
00:33:59.820 --> 00:34:02.190
block and you can't get any real
00:34:02.190 --> 00:34:06.600
rotation at the ribs then your back
00:34:06.600 --> 00:34:08.190
tries to rotate and it's not really good
00:34:08.190 --> 00:34:09.870
at rotating so you start to get
00:34:09.870 --> 00:34:13.320
compression and back pain is caused by
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:14.040
compression
00:34:14.040 --> 00:34:16.500
it's either compression of nerves such
00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:19.860
as like sciatica or something like that
00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:23.160
it's compression of discs or you know
00:34:23.160 --> 00:34:25.020
like a disability ation that type of
00:34:25.020 --> 00:34:27.870
stuff or it's a compression of bone that
00:34:27.870 --> 00:34:30.030
creates osteoarthritis
00:34:30.030 --> 00:34:33.120
so but back pain is is caused by
00:34:33.120 --> 00:34:36.720
compression so there's swings that you
00:34:36.720 --> 00:34:38.760
could do that would potentially produce
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:40.620
less compression if you're using your
00:34:40.620 --> 00:34:43.300
core well if your ribs are turning
00:34:43.300 --> 00:34:44.880
better if you have freedom of movement
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.830
in the SI joints if you have a lot of
00:34:47.830 --> 00:34:51.130
hip range of motion then you don't have
00:34:51.130 --> 00:34:55.150
to take the lower back joints into quite
00:34:55.150 --> 00:34:57.970
extreme range of motion and that would
00:34:57.970 --> 00:35:00.760
be a little bit safer but there's a
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:03.430
volume component so if you had a perfect
00:35:03.430 --> 00:35:04.990
swing perfect back and you went out and
00:35:04.990 --> 00:35:07.180
hit a thousand drivers at top speed
00:35:07.180 --> 00:35:10.150
you're the weak link in your body is
00:35:10.150 --> 00:35:12.640
probably gonna break it break down so
00:35:12.640 --> 00:35:14.440
part of the challenge is now these guys
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.930
are competing more year-round they're
00:35:16.930 --> 00:35:19.540
hitting you know they're swinging faster
00:35:19.540 --> 00:35:21.430
with these lighter clubs they're putting
00:35:21.430 --> 00:35:22.780
more force through the body there's a
00:35:22.780 --> 00:35:25.720
there's a higher demand on hitting it
00:35:25.720 --> 00:35:28.030
further than they're probably ever was
00:35:28.030 --> 00:35:30.070
you know there's a lot fewer Corey Pavin
00:35:30.070 --> 00:35:33.970
shop makers out there so that recipe
00:35:33.970 --> 00:35:35.770
means that you better have your body
00:35:35.770 --> 00:35:37.990
were in good working order or you're
00:35:37.990 --> 00:35:42.550
gonna have some trouble with that he
00:35:42.550 --> 00:35:46.390
also asked about how do you identify
00:35:46.390 --> 00:35:48.910
what's the root cause of an issue and he
00:35:48.910 --> 00:35:53.590
also asked about can early extension one
00:35:53.590 --> 00:35:55.180
of the causes of early extension or an
00:35:55.180 --> 00:35:58.780
early release so this is actually a good
00:35:58.780 --> 00:36:03.550
little topic what causes or how do you
00:36:03.550 --> 00:36:06.880
identify what's the root cause I break
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:08.620
it down there's three main skills you
00:36:08.620 --> 00:36:10.540
got to create speed control the path of
00:36:10.540 --> 00:36:12.130
the club and control the face
00:36:12.130 --> 00:36:14.230
controlling the path of the club is both
00:36:14.230 --> 00:36:16.270
swing direction so where is my swing
00:36:16.270 --> 00:36:18.310
pointing left or right and then low
00:36:18.310 --> 00:36:19.810
point controller where is the widest
00:36:19.810 --> 00:36:22.630
point of the swing and then face control
00:36:22.630 --> 00:36:24.700
is both relationship to the target as
00:36:24.700 --> 00:36:28.860
well as to the path of the club well I
00:36:28.860 --> 00:36:32.710
use a lot of nine to three drills to
00:36:32.710 --> 00:36:34.600
isolate is it a release problem because
00:36:34.600 --> 00:36:37.150
in a nine to three drill your body is
00:36:37.150 --> 00:36:39.220
usually in good position because you you
00:36:39.220 --> 00:36:40.510
didn't have a transition that messed it
00:36:40.510 --> 00:36:42.940
up and you got that you can get the club
00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:44.770
in pretty much more position you want so
00:36:44.770 --> 00:36:47.520
if you're doing nine to three drills and
00:36:47.520 --> 00:36:50.410
you're making a lot of solid contact
00:36:50.410 --> 00:36:51.940
with the nine to three and then you go
00:36:51.940 --> 00:36:53.490
to a full swing and it breaks down
00:36:53.490 --> 00:36:56.010
then it's probably more of a transition
00:36:56.010 --> 00:37:00.619
error than it is a release error if you
00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:03.150
struggle with nine to threes but you hit
00:37:03.150 --> 00:37:05.220
the ball better when you're doing full
00:37:05.220 --> 00:37:06.960
swings then it probably means that you
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:09.720
have more of a release issue and if
00:37:09.720 --> 00:37:13.380
that's the case like within specifically
00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:16.080
with early extension oftentimes golfers
00:37:16.080 --> 00:37:18.570
who early extend eight nine to three
00:37:18.570 --> 00:37:19.590
drills because they don't have enough
00:37:19.590 --> 00:37:22.020
time to early extend so it the release
00:37:22.020 --> 00:37:24.030
issue shows up as a problem and they
00:37:24.030 --> 00:37:25.680
start to see that their early extension
00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:28.470
is how they control the bottom the swing
00:37:28.470 --> 00:37:30.540
in the clubface and so they have to do
00:37:30.540 --> 00:37:31.860
some release training in order to
00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:34.890
correct that other golfers no problem
00:37:34.890 --> 00:37:36.600
doing a nine to three and then they get
00:37:36.600 --> 00:37:37.830
in their full swing and they start going
00:37:37.830 --> 00:37:39.810
into early extension now it's more of a
00:37:39.810 --> 00:37:41.369
power problem it's more of how you
00:37:41.369 --> 00:37:44.010
create speed is really with that back
00:37:44.010 --> 00:37:46.260
extension like thrust early extension
00:37:46.260 --> 00:37:49.740
pattern so use nine to three drills or
00:37:49.740 --> 00:37:51.810
release drills versus full swing drills
00:37:51.810 --> 00:37:53.910
to see is that a transition error is it
00:37:53.910 --> 00:37:58.020
a release air and then you can correct
00:37:58.020 --> 00:38:02.790
the problem that way early release is it
00:38:02.790 --> 00:38:04.109
can help with low point it can help with
00:38:04.109 --> 00:38:05.670
clubface doesn't really help with power
00:38:05.670 --> 00:38:08.850
um other than some golfers feel a lot of
00:38:08.850 --> 00:38:12.000
tension as being strong right they feel
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:13.590
a lot of tension down in the bottom and
00:38:13.590 --> 00:38:15.600
when you early release you can kind of
00:38:15.600 --> 00:38:17.850
walk on and kind of hold on on the way
00:38:17.850 --> 00:38:20.130
through instead of having more kind of
00:38:20.130 --> 00:38:24.450
softness and and width to it so that's
00:38:24.450 --> 00:38:27.570
it doesn't really it can feel powerful
00:38:27.570 --> 00:38:29.850
but it doesn't really add to creating
00:38:29.850 --> 00:38:34.530
more speed and I had one other question
00:38:34.530 --> 00:38:40.260
about from Donald can you still have a
00:38:40.260 --> 00:38:43.619
good release but with bad sequencing I
00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:45.390
thought that was an interesting question
00:38:45.390 --> 00:38:47.880
because it's basically asking like okay
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:50.130
we know that you want to have good
00:38:50.130 --> 00:38:53.280
sequencing from lower body core arms
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:56.040
Club all working together to pull on the
00:38:56.040 --> 00:39:00.240
on the club and create speed and we want
00:39:00.240 --> 00:39:02.270
to have a good release where the
00:39:02.270 --> 00:39:03.800
why Point and low point is ahead of the
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:05.000
golf ball and those relate to each other
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:06.770
so it was basically asking why do I
00:39:06.770 --> 00:39:09.680
typically train the release of either
00:39:09.680 --> 00:39:11.930
the trail arm or the lead arm why do I
00:39:11.930 --> 00:39:13.880
train the release before working too
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.610
much on sequencing can you have a good
00:39:16.610 --> 00:39:20.180
release with bad sequencing yes you can
00:39:20.180 --> 00:39:23.150
have a good release with bound with bad
00:39:23.150 --> 00:39:25.580
downswing peaking order in fact many
00:39:25.580 --> 00:39:27.770
Tour Pros don't have ideal downswing
00:39:27.770 --> 00:39:29.660
peaking order so they don't fire their
00:39:29.660 --> 00:39:32.930
their body in that classic from the
00:39:32.930 --> 00:39:35.720
ground up model but they have really
00:39:35.720 --> 00:39:37.130
good releases so they hit the ball
00:39:37.130 --> 00:39:40.610
solidly they can you know they're more
00:39:40.610 --> 00:39:44.210
consistent as opposed to I've had a
00:39:44.210 --> 00:39:47.060
number of amateurs who are 10 15
00:39:47.060 --> 00:39:48.860
handicaps who have perfect looking
00:39:48.860 --> 00:39:49.910
kinematic sequences
00:39:49.910 --> 00:39:52.550
maybe they played baseball or some other
00:39:52.550 --> 00:39:54.110
sport where they learn how to create
00:39:54.110 --> 00:39:55.700
speed really well but they're not
00:39:55.700 --> 00:39:57.440
controlling the path on the clubface so
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.650
I find that most amateur golfers benefit
00:40:00.650 --> 00:40:02.750
from hitting the ball solidly which
00:40:02.750 --> 00:40:04.610
comes from more of a good release and
00:40:04.610 --> 00:40:06.920
clubface control more so than sequencing
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.520
now sequencing can feel really good and
00:40:10.520 --> 00:40:12.470
can be helpful for taking things to the
00:40:12.470 --> 00:40:14.870
course from the range because that's
00:40:14.870 --> 00:40:17.420
kind of like good tempo good rhythm but
00:40:17.420 --> 00:40:22.120
in general I like to make sure I'd say
00:40:22.120 --> 00:40:25.370
95% the time I'm gonna train the release
00:40:25.370 --> 00:40:30.460
before I train sequencing the only
00:40:30.460 --> 00:40:34.580
exception would be if you have like more
00:40:34.580 --> 00:40:36.440
of like an under flip pattern where you
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:38.840
still have good arm extension so it's
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:41.060
not a perfect release but it's good
00:40:41.060 --> 00:40:42.950
enough and your sequencing is a higher
00:40:42.950 --> 00:40:45.680
problem there if your release is more
00:40:45.680 --> 00:40:49.640
kind of internal rotation bending you
00:40:49.640 --> 00:40:51.350
know arms narrowing on the way through
00:40:51.350 --> 00:40:54.320
then I'm usually going I can't think of
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:55.490
an exception where I'm not going in
00:40:55.490 --> 00:41:01.540
release first okay two last questions
00:41:01.540 --> 00:41:04.820
Vaughn was asking about the hit impulse
00:41:04.820 --> 00:41:07.700
from the top so many golfers struggle
00:41:07.700 --> 00:41:09.650
with you know at the top they just want
00:41:09.650 --> 00:41:12.320
to hit the ball as opposed to swing
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:13.250
through it
00:41:13.250 --> 00:41:14.690
and what are some ways that you can work
00:41:14.690 --> 00:41:17.869
on that ironically doing the hit from
00:41:17.869 --> 00:41:20.390
the top drill gives you a little extra
00:41:20.390 --> 00:41:22.670
second up there where you can soften
00:41:22.670 --> 00:41:25.940
your arms and try to get your you know
00:41:25.940 --> 00:41:28.280
work on your transition sequencing that
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:31.580
can work really well too would be kind
00:41:31.580 --> 00:41:35.270
of softening your your eyes and your
00:41:35.270 --> 00:41:37.280
tension and making sure that you're
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.130
breathing and not holding your breath so
00:41:40.130 --> 00:41:41.750
that you have a little bit more
00:41:41.750 --> 00:41:44.990
relaxation during that transition
00:41:44.990 --> 00:41:46.849
because if you're really you know
00:41:46.849 --> 00:41:49.070
bearing down and getting ready to apply
00:41:49.070 --> 00:41:51.740
force that can create that hit from the
00:41:51.740 --> 00:41:54.410
top impulse the other things I will do
00:41:54.410 --> 00:41:57.109
is in practice I will do a lot of rhythm
00:41:57.109 --> 00:41:59.300
drills to almost trick you and what I
00:41:59.300 --> 00:42:00.890
mean by that would be like pump style
00:42:00.890 --> 00:42:05.270
where you do it one two and three and go
00:42:05.270 --> 00:42:08.810
I'll do it I'll do stuff where the where
00:42:08.810 --> 00:42:12.080
golfers are brushing the ground alright
00:42:12.080 --> 00:42:14.180
so they're making their swings and
00:42:14.180 --> 00:42:16.640
brushing the ground and then I will put
00:42:16.640 --> 00:42:19.280
the golf ball in randomly some swings I
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:22.099
want some swings I will just to help
00:42:22.099 --> 00:42:25.339
them get out of the thought of I just
00:42:25.339 --> 00:42:26.869
need to hit the golf ball and get more
00:42:26.869 --> 00:42:29.359
into connection of how the club contacts
00:42:29.359 --> 00:42:32.890
the ground and make that the main focus
00:42:32.890 --> 00:42:36.530
the his his other question was relating
00:42:36.530 --> 00:42:42.109
to the left shoulder as the fulcrum so a
00:42:42.109 --> 00:42:47.089
la Chuck Quinton and rotary swing so the
00:42:47.089 --> 00:42:49.369
the main problem I have with the left
00:42:49.369 --> 00:42:52.700
arm being the fulcrum is that virtually
00:42:52.700 --> 00:42:55.700
every good ball striker has a little bit
00:42:55.700 --> 00:42:57.859
of this lead arm bend at some point
00:42:57.859 --> 00:42:59.630
during the downswing and the Wii term
00:42:59.630 --> 00:43:02.060
typically bends about thirty degrees at
00:43:02.060 --> 00:43:04.010
the top of the swing twenty to thirty
00:43:04.010 --> 00:43:09.290
degrees so they I think it's hard to
00:43:09.290 --> 00:43:11.420
have a really good flat spot if you if
00:43:11.420 --> 00:43:13.880
your image is basically the left arm
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:15.830
staying totally straight and just using
00:43:15.830 --> 00:43:18.980
the wrist where if it's pulling across
00:43:18.980 --> 00:43:22.099
and extending with good wrist mechanics
00:43:22.099 --> 00:43:24.210
it's easier to have
00:43:24.210 --> 00:43:27.000
get the club to to basically release
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:29.430
like this where if that left arm is the
00:43:29.430 --> 00:43:30.839
fulcrum it's going to start coming up
00:43:30.839 --> 00:43:32.849
pretty quickly so I tend to see more
00:43:32.849 --> 00:43:35.400
contact issues especially thin iron
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.200
shots if you're using that left shoulder
00:43:37.200 --> 00:43:42.119
as the pure fulcrum last questions from
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:43.950
Daniel he asked about over speed
00:43:43.950 --> 00:43:46.050
training and single length golf clubs
00:43:46.050 --> 00:43:47.339
just kind of wanting to get my take on
00:43:47.339 --> 00:43:47.520
that
00:43:47.520 --> 00:43:50.580
I was addressed over speed training you
00:43:50.580 --> 00:43:54.330
know at least one of these other YouTube
00:43:54.330 --> 00:43:57.630
lives over speed training can be very
00:43:57.630 --> 00:43:59.580
helpful for amplifying your current
00:43:59.580 --> 00:44:01.410
power source but I rarely see it add
00:44:01.410 --> 00:44:04.440
power sources to it so if you if you're
00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:06.390
pretty happy with your sequencing you're
00:44:06.390 --> 00:44:08.339
pretty happy with your path and you just
00:44:08.339 --> 00:44:11.220
want to rev it up that can work really
00:44:11.220 --> 00:44:14.160
well or because there's no clubface and
00:44:14.160 --> 00:44:16.500
you just you have your newer golfer and
00:44:16.500 --> 00:44:19.580
you're really poor path control then
00:44:19.580 --> 00:44:22.320
swinging a weight like the orange whip
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:25.580
or like over or the super speed training
00:44:25.580 --> 00:44:28.349
those can help you figure out where a
00:44:28.349 --> 00:44:29.910
good path would be you still have to
00:44:29.910 --> 00:44:31.589
figure out how to get a clubface that
00:44:31.589 --> 00:44:33.570
works with a good path and that's the
00:44:33.570 --> 00:44:36.630
more I think the bigger challenge and
00:44:36.630 --> 00:44:38.040
the bigger barrier for golfers
00:44:38.040 --> 00:44:41.190
so I get most of my big distance gains
00:44:41.190 --> 00:44:43.560
from helping golfers develop a better
00:44:43.560 --> 00:44:45.750
face of half relationship and
00:44:45.750 --> 00:44:49.080
understanding how to control the bottom
00:44:49.080 --> 00:44:50.790
of the swing which frees them up to then
00:44:50.790 --> 00:44:53.520
use their body more effectively but over
00:44:53.520 --> 00:44:54.990
speed training can be really helpful
00:44:54.990 --> 00:44:58.020
especially in like a you know college
00:44:58.020 --> 00:44:59.730
players situation where you already have
00:44:59.730 --> 00:45:01.050
a pretty good swing and you're just kind
00:45:01.050 --> 00:45:03.740
of trying to ramp it up a little bit
00:45:03.740 --> 00:45:06.150
single length clubs I don't have a whole
00:45:06.150 --> 00:45:10.589
lot of experience with it I think that
00:45:10.589 --> 00:45:13.920
it you know my fear is always it becomes
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:15.570
a major challenge when you get into the
00:45:15.570 --> 00:45:18.240
longer clubs but it might work pretty
00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:20.550
well for the shorter Club so who knows
00:45:20.550 --> 00:45:21.900
maybe down the road will have a hybrid
00:45:21.900 --> 00:45:24.630
set where you know most of your wedges
00:45:24.630 --> 00:45:26.310
are already about the same length so
00:45:26.310 --> 00:45:28.290
maybe you'll have like a mid iron length
00:45:28.290 --> 00:45:30.540
a longer Club length and then your
00:45:30.540 --> 00:45:32.400
driver 3-wood length or something like
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:34.080
that but I don't have that much
00:45:34.080 --> 00:45:35.550
experience I've never I haven't coached
00:45:35.550 --> 00:45:37.410
anyone who's played single in clubs so
00:45:37.410 --> 00:45:42.600
I tried in myself I see Patrick Gass the
00:45:42.600 --> 00:45:43.800
little qualifier so I would be more
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:46.530
specific are we able to see the net
00:45:46.530 --> 00:45:49.380
force from looking at the hand path on
00:45:49.380 --> 00:45:53.930
video you can see the general shape I
00:45:53.930 --> 00:45:56.820
post the video or a link of video in the
00:45:56.820 --> 00:45:58.530
bottom where I did like a 10-minute talk
00:45:58.530 --> 00:46:03.210
on looking at the net force you can see
00:46:03.210 --> 00:46:05.430
the general shape if you follow the
00:46:05.430 --> 00:46:07.260
center of mass of the club you just
00:46:07.260 --> 00:46:09.120
can't see the magnitude like you can't
00:46:09.120 --> 00:46:11.340
see how much force is being applied but
00:46:11.340 --> 00:46:13.500
you can see the general direction and
00:46:13.500 --> 00:46:16.170
the general shape because the net force
00:46:16.170 --> 00:46:18.390
will move the center of mass so like in
00:46:18.390 --> 00:46:21.030
transition the center of mass tends to
00:46:21.030 --> 00:46:23.070
go that way that's because then the
00:46:23.070 --> 00:46:26.940
overall force is going up slightly if it
00:46:26.940 --> 00:46:28.860
goes more like that then that would be
00:46:28.860 --> 00:46:31.980
the net force going down so you can get
00:46:31.980 --> 00:46:35.280
a decent sense of the net force by
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:40.800
looking at video all right well I want
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:42.810
to thank everybody for submitting their
00:46:42.810 --> 00:46:45.000
questions ahead of time like I said I
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:46.980
had a lot didn't quite get through all
00:46:46.980 --> 00:46:48.570
of them I'll save a few for the next one
00:46:48.570 --> 00:46:50.790
so sorry if I I didn't get to address
00:46:50.790 --> 00:46:53.130
your questions if you have anything
00:46:53.130 --> 00:46:54.720
you'd like to see me discuss next time
00:46:54.720 --> 00:46:57.060
please send questions to support at golf
00:46:57.060 --> 00:46:59.430
smart Academy com if you're not a member
00:46:59.430 --> 00:47:01.530
and you want to see all these different
00:47:01.530 --> 00:47:03.420
videos that we're talking about head
00:47:03.420 --> 00:47:04.950
over to golf smart Academy and sign up
00:47:04.950 --> 00:47:08.670
for a free trial membership or if you're
00:47:08.670 --> 00:47:11.280
looking to get a better sense of my
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:13.770
overall teaching philosophy this is my
00:47:13.770 --> 00:47:16.320
textbook stocked or swing released in
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:19.110
November I've had a lot of positive
00:47:19.110 --> 00:47:22.320
responses to it it takes a lot of the
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:24.120
golf science and breaks it down into
00:47:24.120 --> 00:47:27.450
hopefully digestible chunks and then if
00:47:27.450 --> 00:47:29.220
you want to understand one of those
00:47:29.220 --> 00:47:31.080
chunks a little bit deeper that's where
00:47:31.080 --> 00:47:32.670
the videos on the site really come in
00:47:32.670 --> 00:47:35.580
handy so thank you again for attending
00:47:35.580 --> 00:47:37.830
and send your questions we'll be ready
00:47:37.830 --> 00:47:39.270
to do another one of these in the near
00:47:39.270 --> 00:47:41.420
future
