00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
This FNS wedge video is looking at steep and shallow arm movements.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:13,000
So with the FNS wedge section where the FNS wedge shots, I should say, you don't really have

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
as much time to make big, powerful body adjustments the way you do in the full swing.

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
So having a gentle blend of steep and shallows or having really good path is much more

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
important for a wedge shot than it is for the full swing.

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,000
The general tendency is we want our arm motions to be more shallow so that my body can be

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
more steep and be kind of on top of the golf ball.

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
So there are two common ways that your arms will tend to get steep and these can each cause

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
major issues, feeling of the hips, contact issues, lots of problems around the shworking.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:01,000
The two ways are going to be either increasing my hinge like this or rotating to the left.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
So from here it would be increasing or narrowing kind of like this during transition kind of a

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
lag move or rotating left with the arms too much.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Because I do want them to rotate left but there's a big difference between that and

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
that. They're both rotating left but you can see one of my checkpoints is with this alignment

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
at impact you still want to be able to see this right form under the left if you're looking

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
from a down-the-line camera angle. So having the arms rotate is going to tend to cause

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
really diggy contact and kind of close the face and will typically cause a little bit of that

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:51,000
flip move or path getting too far into out on the actual release. Where this is going to

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
tend to cause a little bit too much of that load or high-to-low contact you can still hit

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
pretty good shots that way. It just tends to have a little bit less margin of air.

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So the better pattern is having a rotation but having this alignment where that right form is a

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
little bit underneath you can hear and see how that allows the bounce to hit compared to that

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
if this gets a little bit too much on top. That's one of those death moves for the short game

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
because you'll get that really diggy contact. In addition instead of kind of

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
hinging and angling this way if you do the opposite if you actually let it kind of unhinged

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
you'll tend to have a little bit more gentle release of the club and so you'll tend to have

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:51,000
better distance control. So it ends up looking kind of the combination something like that where the

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
club is just kind of bruising the ground using the natural bounce having all these good

00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,000
face-path impact alignments that we teach here in the finesse wedge section. Just know if you're

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:10,000
struggling a lot with contact and your body pivot isn't kind of falling behind or standing up too much.

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
If your body pivot's pretty stacked and on top of the golf ball then one of the few areas where you'll

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
tend to see a lot of issues are going to be getting steep with those arms in transition that can

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
set off whole cast gays of compensations that lead towards inconsistency.
