This video is shallowing while resisting shallowing.
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,000
So many golfers working on the shallowing movements and trying to get the club to kind of
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
fall during transition do so actively and it can cause some problems.
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Let me share kind of a little analogy.
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Imagine I'm playing football and I've got a blocker coming at me just like this.
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
So I'm going to put my hand out and he's going to come in towards me and I'm pushing
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
against him but he's stronger than me or he's got momentum so for a little while he's
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
going to push my hand even though I'm pushing that way but then I'm going to overcome
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
it and be able to continue pushing that way and get it to move.
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Similarly what should happen in transition is when this club is shallowing it's not that
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
I'm pulling it this way and then pulling it that way that would take a lot of brain activity.
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Feeling like I'm going to be pushing that way but I'm doing so very subtly at first so
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
at a rate less than the weight of the club had falling until I get down into that delivery
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
position and then I can kind of go at it a little bit more full force.
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
So during that early phase when you're getting the club to shallow it's not that you're
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
actively pulling it down when you're when you're first learning it and first kind of
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
experiencing the the weight of the club shallowing you may have to actively help it a little bit
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
but ideally you'll be resisting it shallowing even though it's shallowing until you get down closer
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,000
to the release and then you can actively oppose that shallowing force. So if you've struggled with
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000
kind of the timing and you feel like it's more of a pull one way push the other try to
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000
feel the subtlety of you resisting the shallowing as you're doing the shallowing and that'll
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
help it blend into the zorromoves and help you blend into the release timing. So you can do the
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000
little pump drills and kind of exaggerate it by standing the club up vertically kind of like so
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
and just get a feel of stopping the club from falling. Then what you'll do is you'll go up to
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
the top of your swing, you're going to feel like it's gonna fall and you're just going to
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
resist that falling. So I'm going to feel like it falls and I'm going to resist that following.
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
I'm going to feel like it falls and resist and then I can go ahead and swing through. Now I
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000
didn't actually set up to the golf ball so we'll try one more. So if you get up to the top
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
feel like it falls and resist, feel like it falls and resist and then feel like it falls and go ahead
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
and continue this swing as you get down into the release. That should help you with the timing
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
and the feeling of this falling movement during your transition.
