00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
So now that you know which eye dominance you are, let's figure out your specific needs.

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Where do we need to have your head so that you can see the put as straight?

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
I got this from an instructor who spent a lot of time with a snooker players and they

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
focus a lot on getting their eyes in the right position to be able to see where straight is.

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Because if you set up to a straight line and you don't see it as straight, your brain is not

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
going to let you make a confidence stroke.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000
So I've got a simple little setup here that you can use again, you're going to need to find a

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
golf buddy or your pro and you can go through the setup with them.

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
But this is one of the best ways I've figured out for fine tuning your visual alignment.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
So I've got two golf balls and a golf hole.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Ideally this is about 15 feet, 15 to 20 feet somewhere in there so kind of a medium length

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
foot.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
You want the middle ball to be laser so that it's right in line with the center of the

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
hole compared to the first ball.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
And it should be about halfway in between.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000
What you'll do is you will have your friend or your buddy or your golf bro stand behind

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
the intermediate ball so that you can't see the golf ball or so that you can't see the

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
golf hole.

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,000
So you're going to get set up to this first ball and aim it at that second ball while

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
your buddy is standing in the way.

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Once you believe that if you hit it it would hit the center dimple right in the middle

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
of that golf ball.

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
You're going to have this person move and step out of the way and then you're just going

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
to track with your eyes to see if that first golf ball were to hit the second golf ball.

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
If it continued along that line would hit the center of the hole.

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Most of you are going to say maybe this takes a little bit of practice but if you look

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
at it and it looks like it would hit either the edge of the hole or even miss the hole.

00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
When I first did it for me my golf ball was going to miss the hole on the left side.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
So a straight line did not look straight and I needed to make adjustments.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
So here are some ideas for ways that you can make adjustments if you are set up to the golf

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
ball and straight still doesn't look straight.

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Even after you've accounted for your eye dominance.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000
The two most common ways are either moving your head forward backward or up down.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
For up down it's basically going to be whether or not you have your chin up or you have

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
your chin down is going to adjust the way that your eyes see this straight line.

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
For most, same side dominance.

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Right eye right hand you're going to do better with your eyes tilted more down or your chin

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
tilted more down.

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Now I want you to make sure that you can see that it's not my whole spine that's collapsing

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
in tilting down.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
It's just my chin because I want my spine to still be able to rotate but I want my eyes

00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
to be as close to vertical on this plane as I can.

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
The reason is that the more that it gets to vertical the more that when I tilt my head

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000
or rotate my head my eyes will still be on that line.

00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
If I'm up here and I rotate my head so that my right eye can see you can see that my

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
eye plane is totally shifted.

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000
The chin down tends to help right eye dominant players if you do this setup drill and it's

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
not working out correctly.

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
The other option is moving either your head slightly back or slightly forward.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Now that will tend to change your physical alignment but that is a much higher priority than

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
just having your shoulders perfectly square if it doesn't look straight because you'll

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
never buy into it.

00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
So go through this little drill.

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Play with it a couple times until you have a consistent read and you're able to see straight

00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
as straight and then you can move on to the next step which is getting your physical

00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
alignment in all tuned out.

00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
So give that a try and we'll see you at the next clip.
