00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
In this concept video, we're going to look at the steep and shallow flow chart.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So in the steep and shallow flow chart, I basically show you the different movements and

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
how they contribute to the path of a club.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
So you'll see that there are every movement that I do is going to create a little bit

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
of speed.

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
It's going to adjust the face, but one of the big factors is it's going to adjust the

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
path of the club.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
If I was to do all these movements, they cause shallow.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So the major movements that are going to cause shallow are going to be side bending to

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:40,000
the right, extending my spine or extending my hips or just extending and rotating to the

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
right.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:49,000
So if I do those three movements during the downswing, so if I side bend to the right and extend

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
and rotate to the right, this is what would happen.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
I would end up looking kind of like so.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Now if we looked at the arm movements, if my arm is going to be getting further away from

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
me, if my arms are going to be lifting.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
So my wrist straightening, all these factors are going to get the club further away from

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
me, which makes the bottom of the club a little bit more shallow.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
So now if I add those, I go up to the top of the swing and then I side bend to the right,

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
I extend and I rotate to the right and then I extend my arms.

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
You could see that this would probably be about as in the out as I could swing considering

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
I am facing a golf ball like so and I use only shallow movements.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
It would kind of look something like that.

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And I would be so shallow and so far back behind the golf ball.

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
The path would be so far in out that I have no chance of actually hitting the golf ball.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
So I'm going to have to add at least a couple of steps.

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Now if we look at the opposite, if I was to make the steep movements, so the steep movements

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
for a rain and golfer are going to be bending to the left, they're going to be rotating

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
to the left and they're going to be flexing forward like so.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So now if I set up to the golf ball and I was to make those movements, so this will

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
be a little tough to do from the top of the swing.

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
But if I was to flex forward, if I was to side bend to the left and then I was to rotate

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
like so, you could see that that would cause a club that would come down very, very steep

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
in the ground and wait in front of the golf ball.

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Now if I was to then add the arm movements that cause steepening or basically bending

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000
the arm in, keeping that left wrist flat, keeping that right wrist cut and chopping down

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
with my shoulders, so working more down like there we go.

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
That's probably a steep in our movement as I can do.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
So now if I was to do all those movements, so I'm going to side bend to the left, rotate

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000
to the left, flex forward, you can see that's pretty much as steep as I could possibly

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
do.

00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,000
So now these are obviously too crazy extremes because if I'm trying to hit that golf ball

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
there, I'm obviously not going to have the bottom of my swing coming like so and I'm

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
not going to have the bottom of my swing coming like so.

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
But it's interesting to note that I can make a swing where comfortably I had the club

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
working almost perpendicular to the target line this way or perpendicular to the target

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
line that way.

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
To find my ideal path, I'm going to blend these movements.

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
So what's frequently going to happen is during transition, I'm going to side bend slightly

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
to the right like so.

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,000
I'm going to slightly flex forward and I'm going to start rotating to the left.

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
So that's causing a little bit of a steep movement of my body, right?

00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000
If I was to just from here extend those arms boom, we may contact with the ground like so.

00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
But at the same time, my arms are going to work in more of a shallow move.

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
So they're going to flatten like so and get in a little bit narrower.

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Like that.

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Then during the release, I'm going to side bend to the right.

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000
I'm going to extend a little bit and I'm going to continue rotating to the left.

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
So that's adding a bit of shallow.

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
In addition, I am going to extend those arms while not fully extending those wrists until

00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
just before impact, you know, kind of somewhere in there.

00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
So that's adding shallow steep.

00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Really all these combination of movements are going to blend to give me what I want.

00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,000
With the driver, airing more towards shallowness, typically going to help with the wedges,

00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
airing more towards steepness is typically going to help.

00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,000
But ultimately, you have to work on balancing both of them to give you the right path

00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
for the shot that you're trying to hit.
