00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
All right, so in today's topics, we're going to look at the 3D of the downswing
2
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:08.320
, and we're
3
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.640
going to look at kind of how do you organize the plan for your golfers.
4
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.920
So basically, what are you going to do in season?
5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:20.600
What are you going to do off season?
6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.360
Is there really an off season, et cetera?
7
00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:25.240
And then we've got a few coaches' questions.
8
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:30.160
If you have any questions, because we're going to cover a whole lot here, if
9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:30.820
you have
10
00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:35.800
any questions, need me to repeat something, go ahead and type it into the chat.
11
00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:40.920
I'll have that over on the other monitor and check that periodically.
12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.720
So essentially, we're going to take a look at the downswing.
13
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:52.040
And the downswing is, I break it down into two different phases.
14
00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:57.680
So phase one is when you're creating speed or building up power.
15
00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:00.840
And then phase two is when you're transferring that power.
16
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.060
So I call the bridge between those two positions a delivery position, as we see
17
00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:08.160
, which we can
18
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:09.160
see over here.
19
00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:11.520
It's a little different for every golfer.
20
00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:15.930
So I pick delivery position based on when that lead upper arm segment is
21
00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:16.840
reaching its
22
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:18.680
maximum speed.
23
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.520
This also coincides with when the grip is reaching its maximum speed linearly.
24
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:30.320
So this is where the grip will be 25, 28 miles per hour for fast swingers.
25
00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:35.440
And then they're going to transfer all that grip speed into club head speed by
26
00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:36.120
going more
27
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.200
rotationally or angularly.
28
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.640
There are a couple other things that are happening at this point in time.
29
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.400
The pelvis is kind of back into its neutral position usually.
30
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.680
So it's pretty square, it's pretty level.
31
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.060
The upper body has reached its maximum flex, and now it's going to start going
32
00:01:56.060 --> 00:01:57.560
into extension.
33
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.520
So this is essentially where the start of the bracing pattern will happen.
34
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:05.800
And from talking with one club fitter, he said this is right around the time
35
00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:06.280
when you'll
36
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:11.720
see maximum deformation in the club.
37
00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:15.540
I haven't seen that one personally, so I don't know if that's 100% true, but
38
00:02:15.540 --> 00:02:16.120
perhaps some
39
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.240
of those who are looking at the timing of shaft flex would be able to confirm
40
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:21.720
that at
41
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:23.520
some point.
42
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.970
But I think this is kind of a really good breaking point for having a
43
00:02:27.970 --> 00:02:29.480
discussion of what's going
44
00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:31.520
on in the downswing.
45
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:39.080
So in the first phase in transition, we're going to look at the body movements.
46
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.770
So the Jackson 5 and the sequencing and creating the rotational speed with the
47
00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:46.560
body.
48
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.160
And then the arm movements that allow for that to happen, so looking at arm
49
00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:52.120
shallowing,
50
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.700
the start of the wipe, you'll see that the wipe is in both categories because
51
00:02:55.700 --> 00:02:56.120
it kind
52
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.840
of bridges the whole downswing.
53
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.160
Then also looking at club face control or the motorcycle, as well as looking at
54
00:03:05.160 --> 00:03:05.800
staying
55
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.840
in your posture or the left tilt.
56
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.250
Then when we get into the release phase, this is now how do I take that energy
57
00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:13.960
in the grip
58
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.720
and transfer it all to the club head.
59
00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:21.840
This is where you'll see some key wrist movements, so the unhinge, the amount
60
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.320
of flexion extension
61
00:03:23.320 --> 00:03:26.720
and looking at the supination pattern.
62
00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:33.020
That's going to relate to the bracing, which we saw starts at that delivery
63
00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:35.080
position, the
64
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.990
arc width and the timing of the arm extension and then continuing with the wipe
65
00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:41.360
.
66
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:47.600
So my plan is that we'll go through these graphs in a little bit more of a case
67
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:48.120
study
68
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:53.440
fashion and kind of talk through how one particular golfer, how all the pieces
69
00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:54.640
kind of fit together,
70
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:58.640
look at their downswing in the two different phases.
71
00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:03.090
But in your PowerPoint that you'll be able to look at, I've got three different
72
00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:04.000
screenshots
73
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.040
for each golfer.
74
00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:12.670
So the first one, the screenshot is when the pelvis is roughly changing
75
00:04:12.670 --> 00:04:13.880
direction.
76
00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:17.210
So this could be thought of as the start of the downswing, if you wanted to see
77
00:04:17.210 --> 00:04:17.600
any of
78
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.680
the numbers there.
79
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.040
Then I've got them at their delivery position and then I've got them at impact.
80
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.520
So you'll be able to see some of the key numbers and changes at those different
81
00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:30.600
points in the
82
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:31.600
phase.
83
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:39.240
All right, so now hopefully this is where we realized we didn't have audio last
84
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:39.920
time.
85
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.840
Hopefully it all works out good here.
86
00:04:43.840 --> 00:05:12.640
Okay, so let me pull up our first pro, and this is my default look when I'm
87
00:05:12.640 --> 00:05:13.120
just kind
88
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:19.400
of taking a snapshot of a golfer for the first time.
89
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:24.200
These are all of the important graphs that I want to be able to see.
90
00:05:24.200 --> 00:05:28.160
So this is again a longer hitter on tour.
91
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.120
Let's kind of jump through and look at these different pieces.
92
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:40.950
So first thing, if we're looking at the Jackson five, we're basically looking
93
00:05:40.950 --> 00:05:42.520
at the timing
94
00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:48.880
when the lower body goes from shifting away to shifting towards.
95
00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:52.920
So this is the lateral movement.
96
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:59.160
And on this pelvis graph, you're basically looking for when it's starting to go
97
00:05:59.160 --> 00:05:59.640
up and
98
00:05:59.640 --> 00:06:05.490
you can compare that to the rotational movement of the kinematic sequence and
99
00:06:05.490 --> 00:06:07.000
basically looking
100
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.480
at when the rotational movement is starting to happen.
101
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:21.760
So if I take this to the top of the backswing and then I work backward, so
102
00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:23.760
negative.
103
00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:28.760
So right there is where the first positive pelvis rotation speed is.
104
00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:33.400
So that means he's starting to rotate towards the target.
105
00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:37.790
And if we go over here, we can clearly see that the lateral movement has
106
00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:38.760
happened well
107
00:06:38.760 --> 00:06:45.400
before the initiation of the rotational movement.
108
00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:51.640
So that relationship there, it doesn't show up quite as often as you would
109
00:06:51.640 --> 00:06:52.600
think with
110
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.600
amateurs.
111
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.380
They'll usually have lateral before rotational, but when you find that they go
112
00:06:58.380 --> 00:06:59.160
rotational
113
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:05.840
before lateral, it does create some pretty big problems and it's a pretty
114
00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:07.140
significant
115
00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:11.450
change when you get someone to finally start getting lateral first, the little
116
00:07:11.450 --> 00:07:12.240
shift before
117
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.580
rotation.
118
00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:21.060
From the, if we're now looking at the arm shallowing, if you recall, that's
119
00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:21.720
where we
120
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:28.220
jump over to look at the loading of the wrist in the downswing, especially the
121
00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:29.260
lead arm.
122
00:07:29.260 --> 00:07:35.500
So the blue line is going to look at the rotations and the blue line here, oh,
123
00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:36.300
sorry, it does
124
00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:39.200
this occasionally.
125
00:07:39.200 --> 00:07:43.160
All right.
126
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:49.760
So the blue line is going to be looking at the left arm pronation, supination,
127
00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:50.240
and you'll
128
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:57.030
see here in transition that the left arm is going to be pronating or shallowing
129
00:07:57.030 --> 00:07:57.720
during
130
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:02.560
this early part of the downswing.
131
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:07.540
We could also, we'll come back to arc width.
132
00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:14.040
We could also look at the lead shoulder lift, which isn't one of my defaults,
133
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:15.180
but we talked
134
00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:22.260
about it in the arm shallowing, did I miss it there?
135
00:08:22.260 --> 00:08:28.220
There it is.
136
00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:34.000
So you can look at lead shoulder lift to see how much they are, the timing of
137
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:34.500
when they
138
00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:36.660
start pulling down.
139
00:08:36.660 --> 00:08:41.100
So typical golfers who are getting steepening or creating more of the speed
140
00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:42.340
with their arms,
141
00:08:42.340 --> 00:08:46.200
this will start pulling down almost right away.
142
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.700
So you can see this golfer is keeping that arm up all the way through there.
143
00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:59.520
So significant enough that they're probably getting the center of mass of the
144
00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:00.220
club to
145
00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:02.820
then drop down, because that's a little shallowing move.
146
00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:09.060
And then right when they start to pull down, they're getting a little bit more
147
00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:09.620
of that
148
00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:14.740
arm shallowing from rotation, and you'll see that arm shallowing is going all
149
00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:15.760
the way down
150
00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:22.460
until about their delivery position, just a little short of it.
151
00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:29.700
So then the next piece would be, we'll jump and we'll look at the left tilt.
152
00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:33.460
So the left tilt is just a phrase I use for kind of staying in your posture.
153
00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:37.660
And there's two different pieces that you could look at.
154
00:09:37.660 --> 00:09:43.620
Both of them would be from the upper body perspective on the torso.
155
00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:47.340
So this golfer doesn't actually have a lot of left tilt.
156
00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:52.460
Many golfers will actually continue their side bend until late in the downswing
157
00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:52.740
.
158
00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:58.150
So the other place where you can see maintaining your posture would be looking
159
00:09:58.150 --> 00:09:58.660
at the amount
160
00:09:58.660 --> 00:10:03.500
of forward bend and just noticing if they reach more forward bend during the
161
00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:04.260
downswing
162
00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:06.340
than they had it set up.
163
00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:11.730
And so with this golfer, you can pretty easily see that they are reaching more
164
00:10:11.730 --> 00:10:12.660
of a forward
165
00:10:12.660 --> 00:10:18.650
bend, it's above that line where the starting position and the amount of flex
166
00:10:18.650 --> 00:10:19.940
ion is below.
167
00:10:19.940 --> 00:10:26.340
So this pros checking off all the boxes, let's look at the wipe.
168
00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:35.560
So as I talked about in the video or the webinar where we actually kind of dug
169
00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:36.500
into the wipe
170
00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:39.340
a little bit, there's a few different ways to look at it.
171
00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:46.520
But the wipe is basically how a golfer is applying force to the club and trying
172
00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:46.940
to get
173
00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:54.090
that force to be more kind of around their body or rotationally as opposed to
174
00:10:54.090 --> 00:10:54.800
down at
175
00:10:54.800 --> 00:11:01.820
the golf ball or more of the couple or more kind of arm and hand motion.
176
00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:08.140
And so a couple different ways that you'll see that is through there.
177
00:11:08.140 --> 00:11:14.380
You'll see as they're crossing delivery position and beginning to get into the
178
00:11:14.380 --> 00:11:15.300
release, you
179
00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:20.420
will see the arm separate a little bit as the left arm is pulling and as the
180
00:11:20.420 --> 00:11:21.340
club is moving
181
00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:24.420
more across their body instead of down.
182
00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:30.660
So that shows up usually in one of a couple different places that shows up in a
183
00:11:30.660 --> 00:11:31.460
reflexing
184
00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:33.260
of the left arm.
185
00:11:33.260 --> 00:11:44.050
So this golfer you can see has that left arm whip where basically right around
186
00:11:44.050 --> 00:11:44.980
there,
187
00:11:44.980 --> 00:11:51.260
the arm is now, the left arm is now going to start bending as this arm will
188
00:11:51.260 --> 00:11:52.420
pull across
189
00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:53.740
towards the target.
190
00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:58.950
So it's bending all the way through there as a way to kind of use the shoulder
191
00:11:58.950 --> 00:11:59.660
muscles
192
00:11:59.660 --> 00:12:06.820
to pull the arm across and then it will start straightening through there to
193
00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:08.500
kind of transfer
194
00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:15.660
that energy and almost kind of ride the momentum into more of a kind of free
195
00:12:15.660 --> 00:12:17.620
swinging release.
196
00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:21.090
So the club is helping straighten the arm through there after they pulled it
197
00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:21.660
across,
198
00:12:21.660 --> 00:12:27.580
which is why I call that the wipe or the lead arm whip.
199
00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:32.340
This graph here is looking at the separation between the arms.
200
00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:38.580
And so golfers who have this wipe movement will typically have either a plateau
201
00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:38.900
in the
202
00:12:38.900 --> 00:12:43.780
downswing or this golfer who does it a lot will tend to have actually a second
203
00:12:43.780 --> 00:12:44.460
peak.
204
00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:49.130
So the space between the elbows is getting closer and then right through here,
205
00:12:49.130 --> 00:12:49.780
that same
206
00:12:49.780 --> 00:12:55.290
phase, the space between the elbows is getting wider and then it will get
207
00:12:55.290 --> 00:12:56.740
massively closer
208
00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:58.140
down through the release.
209
00:12:58.140 --> 00:13:03.720
That's that arm extension piece that I talked about in the second, the phase
210
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.820
two, the release.
211
00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:12.710
Okay, the last piece where we can see the wipe is looking at the trail wrist
212
00:13:12.710 --> 00:13:14.100
angles.
213
00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:20.580
And typically what you'll see is a radial increase mid downswing.
214
00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:22.820
Now remember the hands are facing slightly different.
215
00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:26.660
So the hands won't 100% match each other.
216
00:13:26.660 --> 00:13:30.480
And what you'll see mid downswing is the shallowing is happening more from sup
217
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:31.060
ination.
218
00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:39.380
So the, the increased hinge here is what allows the golfer to pull the club
219
00:13:39.380 --> 00:13:41.860
across more horizontally.
220
00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:46.370
So if you imagine here, if I, if I froze everything in space and increase the
221
00:13:46.370 --> 00:13:46.940
hinge,
222
00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:53.620
the club would just go up, but because the left arm is pulling at the same time
223
00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:53.980
, the
224
00:13:53.980 --> 00:14:00.460
club will work across the screen that way instead of more down that way.
225
00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:05.240
So just through there that gets the club or the grip moving more across the
226
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.020
body so that
227
00:14:06.020 --> 00:14:10.490
then when the momentum of the club is pulling on the hands, it's going to be
228
00:14:10.490 --> 00:14:11.420
directed out
229
00:14:11.420 --> 00:14:16.580
in front of the body with a pretty good flat spot.
230
00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:24.600
And then lastly looking at the motorcycle, typically we'll look at the left
231
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:25.140
wrist, which
232
00:14:25.140 --> 00:14:28.060
you can also look at the right wrist.
233
00:14:28.060 --> 00:14:36.770
So in transition, you want to see some increasing of that trail wrist extension
234
00:14:36.770 --> 00:14:38.420
and lead wrist
235
00:14:38.420 --> 00:14:47.340
flexion. So the green lines in the two arm graphs.
236
00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:52.120
So the green line here starting to go up, just looking at that timing and the
237
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:52.740
rate.
238
00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:58.660
So this golfer has a motorcycle movement that happens before they transition.
239
00:14:58.660 --> 00:15:04.430
And then the increase in the extension, when you see like a really big dip like
240
00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:05.100
that, that
241
00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:10.890
will typically be associated with more trail wrist power, kind of a really good
242
00:15:10.890 --> 00:15:11.540
stretch
243
00:15:11.540 --> 00:15:15.420
shortened cycle in that trail wrist.
244
00:15:15.420 --> 00:15:20.860
So this golfer checks all the boxes.
245
00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:27.550
Little bit, didn't have 100% in the left tilt category, but got it more from
246
00:15:27.550 --> 00:15:28.620
flexion, but
247
00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:36.640
had really good shallowing as well as wipe, as well as motorcycle, as well as
248
00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:38.260
sequencing.
249
00:15:38.260 --> 00:15:45.940
So now we'll see if we take a look at the release components, we'll see how all
250
00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:46.620
those
251
00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:51.020
kind of fit together or where we go to investigate.
252
00:15:51.020 --> 00:15:57.990
So the arm extension piece, we'll just go down the list, the arm extension
253
00:15:57.990 --> 00:15:58.700
piece is going
254
00:15:58.700 --> 00:16:05.260
to show up primarily in the elbow extension and the elbow separation graph.
255
00:16:05.260 --> 00:16:13.620
So you'll see the arms reaching their straightest position well after impact.
256
00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:19.200
So you'll see a pretty clear arm straightening pattern where there's no real
257
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.260
slope change
258
00:16:20.260 --> 00:16:31.540
or hiccups between basically between there and there.
259
00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:40.940
Those arms are straightening and you'll see if we go even further, the elbows
260
00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:42.500
are getting
261
00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:48.060
closest together all the way until there.
262
00:16:48.060 --> 00:16:52.630
So I think of that as I've created all the speed and now the club is going to
263
00:16:52.630 --> 00:16:53.420
be pulling
264
00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:59.080
my arms into their straightest position if I have the arms soft enough to let
265
00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.740
them.
266
00:16:59.740 --> 00:17:04.460
But it's not necessarily a really active movement like I'm pushing the club.
267
00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:09.670
It's more like the club has so much speed that it's pulling me into that
268
00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:10.740
position.
269
00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:16.380
Part of that is going to come from the next piece which is looking at bracing.
270
00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:23.980
So the bracing will show up in a couple different ways depending on what you
271
00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:26.500
got access to but
272
00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:33.000
where I'm usually looking at their bracing pattern is first I'll check the pel
273
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:33.660
vis and
274
00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:40.940
the thorax linear directions, so the sway slide.
275
00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:47.430
And so what I'm looking for is on this pelvis position graph having more of a
276
00:17:47.430 --> 00:17:48.380
flat line
277
00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:51.500
through impact as opposed to a continued slope.
278
00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:57.740
This golfer has a little bit more of a buckle or a slide so it's not the most
279
00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:58.540
efficient
280
00:17:58.540 --> 00:18:00.820
bracing pattern but it's not bad.
281
00:18:00.820 --> 00:18:05.800
And then I'm looking at the upper body moving away from the target and
282
00:18:05.800 --> 00:18:07.460
basically how much.
283
00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:14.290
So this golfer, let's say that's somewhere around 2 inches and then so this gol
284
00:18:14.290 --> 00:18:14.900
fer is
285
00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:22.060
moving about 5 inches away from the target between, that's going to be pretty
286
00:18:22.060 --> 00:18:22.820
close to
287
00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:24.700
delivery position.
288
00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:35.080
So just before delivery position and then going all the way until that position
289
00:18:35.080 --> 00:18:36.060
there.
290
00:18:36.060 --> 00:18:42.560
So essentially the release is the upper body moving away as the arms are moving
291
00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:43.320
towards
292
00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:45.460
the target.
293
00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:49.260
The other piece where I'll look at the bracing position is the classic kinem
294
00:18:49.260 --> 00:18:49.980
atic sequence
295
00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:56.780
and this gets us into the chest turning, chest rotation which so if I'm looking
296
00:18:56.780 --> 00:18:57.420
at it from
297
00:18:57.420 --> 00:19:04.640
the kinematic sequence perspective, I'm looking at how well these lines are de
298
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:06.180
celerating.
299
00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:12.130
This pattern here is a common one that you'll see with better golfers where
300
00:19:12.130 --> 00:19:13.500
through impact
301
00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:18.140
the thing moving the fastest is the chest turning.
302
00:19:18.140 --> 00:19:23.000
So the hips have slowed down, the arms have slowed down, the body is continuing
303
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:23.500
to turn
304
00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:30.190
with the club but the arms have transferred all their speed and the body has or
305
00:19:30.190 --> 00:19:31.140
the lower
306
00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:36.300
body has decelerated pretty well at the same time.
307
00:19:36.300 --> 00:19:40.100
So I would say this golfer has a pretty good, even though there's a little bit
308
00:19:40.100 --> 00:19:41.100
of a slide
309
00:19:41.100 --> 00:19:46.440
the kinematic sequence doesn't show a massive slide problem so it's still
310
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:47.500
showing up as
311
00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:50.860
a really good bracing pattern.
312
00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:58.290
Now you all know my favorite graph, the arc width graph which we took away when
313
00:19:58.290 --> 00:19:59.300
I brought
314
00:19:59.300 --> 00:20:07.820
up the lead shoulder so let me pull that up.
315
00:20:07.820 --> 00:20:13.390
So the arc width graph is kind of looking at the flat spot or how long this
316
00:20:13.390 --> 00:20:14.300
club stays
317
00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:17.580
in its widest position.
318
00:20:17.580 --> 00:20:22.860
I'd like to see it further away through impact than it was at the setup and
319
00:20:22.860 --> 00:20:24.140
having a pretty
320
00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:25.860
decent plateau.
321
00:20:25.860 --> 00:20:32.250
This is highly related to that bracing pattern and this is highly related to
322
00:20:32.250 --> 00:20:34.460
the wipe or the
323
00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:35.460
arm extension.
324
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:43.030
It's going to be connected to your side bend move as well but the more
325
00:20:43.030 --> 00:20:45.020
important ones are
326
00:20:45.020 --> 00:20:52.770
the arm extension position, the timing of the wrist movements and the bracing
327
00:20:52.770 --> 00:20:53.700
pattern.
328
00:20:53.700 --> 00:21:00.660
So which now gets us into those key wrist movements.
329
00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:09.070
So through impact there's a fair amount of variability or variety so I don't
330
00:21:09.070 --> 00:21:11.020
teach necessarily
331
00:21:11.020 --> 00:21:17.500
just one pattern but some of the more common things that I'm looking at are the
332
00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:18.200
timing
333
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.620
and the amount of the unhinge.
334
00:21:20.620 --> 00:21:30.800
So with the red line reaching its maximum unhinge after impact I know that some
335
00:21:30.800 --> 00:21:31.660
stuff
336
00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:39.660
coming out from hack motion has shown their changing direction close to impact.
337
00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:45.490
I've got a buddy, we're going to do some testing with that and try to uncover
338
00:21:45.490 --> 00:21:46.060
where
339
00:21:46.060 --> 00:21:48.140
the discrepancy is coming in.
340
00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:53.360
One real big possibility is I know it's at a different frame rate compared to
341
00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:53.760
AMN so
342
00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:59.160
it's at 100 hertz instead of 240 that could relate or I think it could be with
343
00:21:59.160 --> 00:21:59.740
the way
344
00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:06.210
that the sensor is attached to the grip but I rarely see, in fact I can't think
345
00:22:06.210 --> 00:22:06.820
of any
346
00:22:06.820 --> 00:22:12.590
good players where the club is starting to rehinge right at impact but you'll
347
00:22:12.590 --> 00:22:13.300
see that
348
00:22:13.300 --> 00:22:17.380
with the amateurs periodically.
349
00:22:17.380 --> 00:22:23.150
So then the flexion extension change, that's the flying wedge and one of the
350
00:22:23.150 --> 00:22:24.380
key components
351
00:22:24.380 --> 00:22:31.150
to getting shaft lean which is wherever they start you want to see more
352
00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:34.660
motorcycle at impact.
353
00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:43.470
So at impact this golfer had 25 degrees of trail wrist extension and 0 degrees
354
00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:44.140
of flexion
355
00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:51.940
so the left wrist was pretty much flat but at impact or sorry at setup the gol
356
00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:52.780
fer was
357
00:22:52.780 --> 00:22:57.900
almost the opposite, 25 degrees of extension of the lead wrist and 2 degrees of
358
00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:58.500
flexion
359
00:22:58.500 --> 00:23:00.460
of the trail wrist.
360
00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:05.300
So during the downswing with all these loading and unloading you will see that
361
00:23:05.300 --> 00:23:06.420
they are making
362
00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:14.490
contact with the club 25 degrees more rotated in the left wrist and the right
363
00:23:14.490 --> 00:23:15.540
wrist.
364
00:23:15.540 --> 00:23:23.840
I think that's one of the more important pieces for iron play for solid contact
365
00:23:23.840 --> 00:23:24.460
, it's not
366
00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:29.420
necessarily the most important thing for the driver.
367
00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:35.250
And then the last piece would be looking at the supination and basically I'm
368
00:23:35.250 --> 00:23:36.500
looking for
369
00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:45.860
a smooth gradual curve covering 120 to 140 degrees so here you'll see where I
370
00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:46.820
get that
371
00:23:46.820 --> 00:23:56.430
idea of the smooth kind of consistent transition where essentially from right
372
00:23:56.430 --> 00:23:58.100
around there
373
00:23:58.100 --> 00:24:07.670
here in the downswing delivery position or close to it all the way until there
374
00:24:07.670 --> 00:24:08.300
you have
375
00:24:08.300 --> 00:24:15.460
a pretty smooth rate of supination so it's pretty consistent and somewhat
376
00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:16.700
gradual.
377
00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:21.180
What you'll typically see is golfers you have a little bit more of a scoop flip
378
00:24:21.180 --> 00:24:22.020
might start
379
00:24:22.020 --> 00:24:27.410
it earlier or later but they'll typically have a really big spike at impact and
380
00:24:27.410 --> 00:24:27.820
then
381
00:24:27.820 --> 00:24:32.340
they won't cover as much range of motion.
382
00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:40.000
So I know I cover a lot of things on the website as far as some of these key
383
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.820
components but
384
00:24:41.820 --> 00:24:47.060
I think that visualizing the graphs makes it easier to see how these pieces all
385
00:24:47.060 --> 00:24:48.920
fit together.
386
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:55.160
So I spent more time on that first one just to make sure that we're on the same
387
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:55.860
page and
388
00:24:55.860 --> 00:25:01.810
now we'll go through a few more where we can look for some of these anomalies
389
00:25:01.810 --> 00:25:03.900
or how these
390
00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:11.480
pieces kind of fit together so we'll do this one a little bit quicker.
391
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:27.980
Okay so quick scan on the downswing I'll usually look at kind of the overall
392
00:25:27.980 --> 00:25:29.520
shape so arc
393
00:25:29.520 --> 00:25:33.280
width and wipe showing up first.
394
00:25:33.280 --> 00:25:39.840
So he's got a little plateau he's got the width afterward he's got some club
395
00:25:39.840 --> 00:25:40.760
rotation
396
00:25:40.760 --> 00:25:44.480
in the actual velocity so although overall pieces are there.
397
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:51.020
Now let's look at some of these details so we can see pelvis changing direction
398
00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:51.640
right
399
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:57.590
around there that's well before top of the top of the swing it's pretty clear
400
00:25:57.590 --> 00:25:58.320
that he's
401
00:25:58.320 --> 00:26:08.060
got that sequencing happening if we will look at the kinematic sequence he
402
00:26:08.060 --> 00:26:09.960
transfers his
403
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:20.560
lower body quite early so let's just see just for argument sake.
404
00:26:20.560 --> 00:26:26.380
So right here this frame here is the first time that the golfer's pelvis is
405
00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:27.240
rotating
406
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.670
in the positive direction you can see how I was just kind of monitoring that so
407
00:26:32.670 --> 00:26:33.120
that
408
00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:40.820
means all that right there the pelvis is already changing direction as his arms
409
00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:41.240
are
410
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:46.360
setting that's that's a fair amount that's quite early but I'm not sure if you
411
00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:47.120
saw if
412
00:26:47.120 --> 00:26:55.780
I go back to that position that first frame right there you can see the pelvis
413
00:26:55.780 --> 00:26:57.280
is changing
414
00:26:57.280 --> 00:27:03.260
direction well before that so that would be the Jackson five move and kind of
415
00:27:03.260 --> 00:27:04.000
getting
416
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:13.570
the pelvis to initiate that change direction now if we look at the shallow
417
00:27:13.570 --> 00:27:14.720
pieces we'll
418
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:20.500
see a nice smooth shallowing here as well as a sign of shallowing in the trail
419
00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:21.000
wrist
420
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:27.720
we talked about that in the the trail form also pronating is a sign of going
421
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.160
into internal
422
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:38.040
rotation of the shoulder so you'll see that this golfer's got a pretty decent
423
00:27:38.040 --> 00:27:38.440
shallow
424
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:53.990
move good you could see that down there and then the motorcycle move we can
425
00:27:53.990 --> 00:27:54.640
look at the
426
00:27:54.640 --> 00:28:01.280
green line real quick alright he's got the motorcycle piece good if we look at
427
00:28:01.280 --> 00:28:01.800
the left
428
00:28:01.800 --> 00:28:07.580
tilt there's another I happen to pick two examples this time who don't do the
429
00:28:07.580 --> 00:28:08.240
best left
430
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:14.480
tilt but he gets more of the regaining flexion more from the forward bend than
431
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:15.440
from the side
432
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:20.750
tilt so he's he's kind of getting a little extra shallow body movements that
433
00:28:20.750 --> 00:28:21.400
could be
434
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:29.560
because he has a little bit more of the radial deviation so he's kind of he's
435
00:28:29.560 --> 00:28:31.160
not really
436
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:37.930
starting that unhinged quite as early as a lot of other golfers he's um so that
437
00:28:37.930 --> 00:28:38.400
creates
438
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:42.610
a steepening and he needs to shallow that out that's commonly done with the
439
00:28:42.610 --> 00:28:43.320
spine there
440
00:28:43.320 --> 00:28:49.560
okay if we jump into the downswing we saw though the wipe was going to be
441
00:28:49.560 --> 00:28:50.480
pretty good
442
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:54.960
looking from this perspective now we can just look in well where is he getting
443
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:55.200
the the
444
00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:03.360
wipe there's a little plateau with the left arm and no real wipe in the trail
445
00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:06.160
wrist so
446
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:11.000
if we look at it it's going to look on the lighter side as far as the wipe goes
447
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:12.040
it's
448
00:29:12.040 --> 00:29:17.560
not going to look like it has a really massive movement across the ball but it
449
00:29:17.560 --> 00:29:18.680
's he's doing
450
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:24.170
it more with that left arm than he is doing with the right arm then we've got
451
00:29:24.170 --> 00:29:24.640
the arm
452
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:31.810
extension piece which we get from the arm the elbow separation graph as well as
453
00:29:31.810 --> 00:29:32.240
the
454
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:37.240
elbow extension we can see both of those are straightening really nicely which
455
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:37.760
creates
456
00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:45.240
a pretty good looking arc with pattern over there so then if we look at the br
457
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:46.200
acing we
458
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:50.160
can see a pretty good plateau so even though though this golfer had some sway
459
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:50.840
off the ball
460
00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:59.480
that's a really good plateau there so that piece is bracing pretty well if we
461
00:29:59.480 --> 00:29:59.960
look at
462
00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:11.080
the kinematic sequence so kinematic sequence I would say he could improve his
463
00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:12.080
bracing because
464
00:30:12.080 --> 00:30:16.690
it's more kind of flatlined through impact now I did put this I did code this
465
00:30:16.690 --> 00:30:17.480
as a longer
466
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:28.850
hitter but I would say from the kinematic sequence bracing perspective it's not
467
00:30:28.850 --> 00:30:30.960
the best and
468
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:44.020
that could let's dig into explore why he might be not bracing quite as well so
469
00:30:44.020 --> 00:30:44.880
if we
470
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:52.560
look at let's go to impact look at the body real quick so I'm scanning to see
471
00:30:52.560 --> 00:30:53.440
what might
472
00:30:53.440 --> 00:31:01.280
be out of the ordinary he's a little late in his spine extension so that could
473
00:31:01.280 --> 00:31:01.720
relate
474
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:08.690
to the bracing pattern rotations look fine the side bends he's a little under
475
00:31:08.690 --> 00:31:09.640
side bent
476
00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:13.440
in terms of the spine that's a lot of side bend for the pelvis for that little
477
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:15.200
side bend
478
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:22.950
at impact so that could show up he's a little light if you remember with the
479
00:31:22.950 --> 00:31:24.480
last example
480
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:29.130
I talked about the upper body moving backward you know somewhere in that four
481
00:31:29.130 --> 00:31:29.920
or five even
482
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:37.750
up to six inches I think Rory's like eight and you'll see that with his bracing
483
00:31:37.750 --> 00:31:38.440
right
484
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:44.840
around there is the the most he's away from the target after impact so that's
485
00:31:44.840 --> 00:31:46.520
two inches
486
00:31:46.520 --> 00:31:54.940
and you can see that where he starts his bracing so he's only moving about two
487
00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:56.760
inches away so
488
00:31:56.760 --> 00:32:02.420
that's part of why you would see the arms have a little bit more speed through
489
00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:03.320
here because
490
00:32:03.320 --> 00:32:07.120
the the shoulder is basically going to be pulling it through when the upper
491
00:32:07.120 --> 00:32:08.840
body is not falling
492
00:32:08.840 --> 00:32:14.110
away so that's what a good source of where we're seeing his bracing kind of
493
00:32:14.110 --> 00:32:14.880
breaking
494
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:21.120
down so this is where I would always start with the investigation so what are
495
00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:21.560
we what
496
00:32:21.560 --> 00:32:28.600
problem are we trying to solve if it was relating more to say flat spot and
497
00:32:28.600 --> 00:32:30.440
consistency off the
498
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:41.580
tee or if he was having you know more of a kind of thin mispattern there's a
499
00:32:41.580 --> 00:32:41.800
little
500
00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:48.460
bit of this upper body is not hanging backward and so as a result the arms can
501
00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:50.000
't wipe forward
502
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:55.190
quite as much so that's where his two pieces kind of show up as we're scanning
503
00:32:55.190 --> 00:32:55.920
through
504
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:05.130
more in the bracing in wipe category supination looks good flexion of the wrist
505
00:33:05.130 --> 00:33:05.760
looks good
506
00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:12.000
timing of the or amount of ulnar deviation through the ball all looks good I
507
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:12.680
see a couple
508
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:18.040
questions coming in so I'll I'll check those before we move on to a couple am
509
00:33:18.040 --> 00:33:20.120
ateurs so
510
00:33:20.120 --> 00:33:28.160
Fred asking let's go to the chat is there a strong relationship between the
511
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:29.200
amount the
512
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:37.210
hands move from low to high and ball striking so here's the the challenge is on
513
00:33:37.210 --> 00:33:38.440
amm I don't
514
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:43.420
get the amount all I get is the speed so I can't really I don't know if there's
515
00:33:43.420 --> 00:33:44.480
a relationship
516
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:51.960
between the amount there's a small relationship between the speed it's just
517
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:52.960
more making sure
518
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.410
that it is going in that pattern rather than how much and how fast also is
519
00:33:58.410 --> 00:33:59.560
there a relationship
520
00:33:59.560 --> 00:34:07.750
between how low the hands move before the waist move below the waist and ball
521
00:34:07.750 --> 00:34:08.880
striking
522
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:14.420
again is the same thing I don't have the amount but you can reverse engineer it
523
00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:15.760
if the club
524
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:23.340
is a fixed length so where do I so the the club is a fixed length so that means
525
00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:24.160
if it's
526
00:34:24.160 --> 00:34:33.200
coming up into impact then the grip had to be lower on its in order for it to
527
00:34:33.200 --> 00:34:34.320
do so basically
528
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:39.200
I could have it in this position a lot of different ways I could have it go let
529
00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:39.480
's see
530
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:44.260
we'll put this as a marker I could go down into it I could go up into it I
531
00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:45.240
could rotate
532
00:34:45.240 --> 00:34:51.480
more into it there are lots of different ways I could get into that specific
533
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.280
position and
534
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:57.770
some of them will breed more consistency basically having a little bit more
535
00:34:57.770 --> 00:34:59.240
kind of that pattern
536
00:34:59.240 --> 00:35:05.020
instead of kind of going back that way or going down that way would tend to
537
00:35:05.020 --> 00:35:05.720
yield more
538
00:35:05.720 --> 00:35:12.170
consistent turf interaction second question after your book publication do now
539
00:35:12.170 --> 00:35:13.160
do you have
540
00:35:13.160 --> 00:35:19.050
any new discoveries that you would add slash any updates you would make remind
541
00:35:19.050 --> 00:35:20.040
let's I can
542
00:35:20.040 --> 00:35:26.280
talk a little bit about that at the at the end so when I get into the Q&A I'll
543
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:27.120
discuss
544
00:35:27.120 --> 00:35:33.490
that and basically what I'm working on with the content organization going on
545
00:35:33.490 --> 00:35:34.280
with the
546
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:44.340
site so let me jump back to let's look at a couple amateurs like I said the
547
00:35:44.340 --> 00:35:45.280
downswing
548
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:51.580
can take a little while to go through each one but once you get good at looking
549
00:35:51.580 --> 00:35:52.320
at these
550
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:57.320
you can usually kind of get the snapshot of a golfer in five minutes ten
551
00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:58.080
minutes or
552
00:35:58.080 --> 00:36:16.120
so okay so as this is loading up little background he's about a ten handicap
553
00:36:16.120 --> 00:36:16.440
longer
554
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:23.090
hitter so but not very good off the tee that was his main issue as a longer
555
00:36:23.090 --> 00:36:24.160
hitter he would
556
00:36:24.160 --> 00:36:32.660
often hit five irons off the tee let me just switch this so he was giving up a
557
00:36:32.660 --> 00:36:34.640
lot of his
558
00:36:34.640 --> 00:36:42.380
length advantage because of his poor driving I'll leave it there and not give
559
00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:43.800
any more details
560
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:48.800
into it all right so if we're jumping through well we can see Jackson five is
561
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:50.400
going to be
562
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:54.880
like that's changing direction well before anything would ever show up here so
563
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:55.400
we know
564
00:36:55.400 --> 00:37:00.540
that he's at least going lateral before rotational and he's got pretty good
565
00:37:00.540 --> 00:37:02.040
sequencing through
566
00:37:02.040 --> 00:37:13.080
there let's look at arm shallowing you can already see before I've zoomed in
567
00:37:13.080 --> 00:37:13.760
neither blue
568
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:21.120
line here is really going down there's maybe a little bit there but not a whole
569
00:37:21.120 --> 00:37:22.400
lot here
570
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.570
with the trail rest so that trail shoulder is definitely going into more of a
571
00:37:25.570 --> 00:37:26.160
steepening
572
00:37:26.160 --> 00:37:31.950
pattern so that's kind of caution flag number one especially if we're
573
00:37:31.950 --> 00:37:33.800
struggling with driver
574
00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:39.240
and the longer clubs getting a little steep makes a whole lot of sense so now
575
00:37:39.240 --> 00:37:40.720
we look at
576
00:37:40.720 --> 00:37:46.940
the wipe oh boy not a whole lot of wipe going on there's no real plateau so it
577
00:37:46.940 --> 00:37:47.520
's just kind
578
00:37:47.520 --> 00:37:51.510
of and this is a little separate but there's not a whole lot of change he just
579
00:37:51.510 --> 00:37:52.280
kind of locks
580
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:59.600
his arms in straight and then kind of straightens them on the way through if I
581
00:37:59.600 --> 00:38:00.160
'm just looking
582
00:38:00.160 --> 00:38:03.510
at this graph and already jumping ahead to arm extension well at least he has
583
00:38:03.510 --> 00:38:03.920
pretty
584
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:08.060
good arm extension on the way through that's probably part of why he's
585
00:38:08.060 --> 00:38:09.160
consistent with
586
00:38:09.160 --> 00:38:12.990
the other clubs but if he's too steep for the longer clubs that may be the
587
00:38:12.990 --> 00:38:13.600
problem that
588
00:38:13.600 --> 00:38:22.200
we're going to have to try to solve okay looking at the motorcycle nothing in
589
00:38:22.200 --> 00:38:23.000
the trail wrist
590
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:31.300
motorcycle it's limited in the lead wrist motorcycle it's a little late I mean
591
00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:31.680
there's
592
00:38:31.680 --> 00:38:40.890
some it's not it's not nothing but it's not great so so right now I'm thinking
593
00:38:40.890 --> 00:38:41.480
to myself
594
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:51.910
okay in transition really good sequencing or pretty good sequencing but now he
595
00:38:51.910 --> 00:38:52.800
's got
596
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.580
limited shallow he's got limited wipe he's got limited motorcycle I'm worried
597
00:38:57.580 --> 00:38:58.080
that this
598
00:38:58.080 --> 00:39:07.390
guy's got some arm training that we're going to have to address so just to let
599
00:39:07.390 --> 00:39:08.620
you guys
600
00:39:08.620 --> 00:39:18.520
see what this swing might look like and I see Fred asked another question so
601
00:39:18.520 --> 00:39:19.200
hopefully
602
00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:26.410
like Fred's question is from all the graphs which top 10 graphs lines you would
603
00:39:26.410 --> 00:39:27.140
refer to
604
00:39:27.140 --> 00:39:33.630
the most for analyzing any swing what I'm going through today is a lot of that
605
00:39:33.630 --> 00:39:34.460
process
606
00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:40.250
so how to kind of think through looking at a golf swing or all the different
607
00:39:40.250 --> 00:39:41.800
pieces I'm
608
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:47.790
I'm basically running through this checklist and then I'm relating that
609
00:39:47.790 --> 00:39:49.240
checklist to what
610
00:39:49.240 --> 00:39:55.480
their main core issues are so which graphs are most important depends are we
611
00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:56.100
trying to
612
00:39:56.100 --> 00:40:00.360
improve the driver are we trying to improve low point control are we trying to
613
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:00.880
improve
614
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:06.380
face control are we trying to increase speed what are we doing and then all the
615
00:40:06.380 --> 00:40:06.980
graphs
616
00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:12.230
just give us a little better insight there so right now I'm saying he's just
617
00:40:12.230 --> 00:40:12.820
kind of
618
00:40:12.820 --> 00:40:21.140
locking in his arms and he's not really using the arms very much for control or
619
00:40:21.140 --> 00:40:22.260
power he's
620
00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:25.090
just kind of like locking in his arms and that's a that's going to be a tough
621
00:40:25.090 --> 00:40:25.460
way for
622
00:40:25.460 --> 00:40:30.600
us to create some shallowness alright so now if we jump down let's look at
623
00:40:30.600 --> 00:40:31.820
where his delivery
624
00:40:31.820 --> 00:40:44.280
position is so you'll notice I'm a little so his delivery position is much
625
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:45.200
later than
626
00:40:45.200 --> 00:40:51.720
what we saw with both of those torquros so there's a little bit more of a cast
627
00:40:51.720 --> 00:40:52.560
pattern
628
00:40:52.560 --> 00:40:56.970
and a little bit less efficient energy transfer partly because of what he's
629
00:40:56.970 --> 00:40:57.840
doing with his
630
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:03.170
wrist so because he's not using his wrist he's actually reaching peak speed
631
00:41:03.170 --> 00:41:03.920
later where
632
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:09.120
you ideally want to reach peak speed as early as you can while still being able
633
00:41:09.120 --> 00:41:09.860
to transfer
634
00:41:09.860 --> 00:41:15.650
effectively all the way to impact if you peak too early then you'll your
635
00:41:15.650 --> 00:41:17.160
transfer will
636
00:41:17.160 --> 00:41:24.640
get damaged a little bit okay so then if we jump to the release aspect alright
637
00:41:24.640 --> 00:41:25.280
we don't
638
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:32.250
seem very much bracing either on the kinematics sequence or on that pelvis
639
00:41:32.250 --> 00:41:33.920
graph and that makes
640
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:38.410
sense because if he's not getting any wipe then you wouldn't be able to brace
641
00:41:38.410 --> 00:41:38.940
or else
642
00:41:38.940 --> 00:41:47.000
he'd hit it fat which this golfer was prone to so then if we look at the arc
643
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.140
width from
644
00:41:48.140 --> 00:41:56.150
a consistency standpoint that's a lot of trouble there very little flat spot
645
00:41:56.150 --> 00:41:56.280
you can
646
00:41:56.280 --> 00:42:01.170
see the you know from this face on view golfers would say man you have a good
647
00:42:01.170 --> 00:42:02.280
looking swing
648
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:05.820
I don't understand why it doesn't work because he doesn't really chicken wing
649
00:42:05.820 --> 00:42:06.340
and bend the
650
00:42:06.340 --> 00:42:14.130
arms in fact if anything he he locks them into place and just swings with his
651
00:42:14.130 --> 00:42:14.880
chest
652
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:19.190
we see very little bracing from the upper body we see very little bracing from
653
00:42:19.190 --> 00:42:19.720
the lower
654
00:42:19.720 --> 00:42:26.040
body so this golfer has more of kind of a slide or a lunge through the ball to
655
00:42:26.040 --> 00:42:26.820
control
656
00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:30.770
low point but that doesn't work very well especially comboed with steep arm
657
00:42:30.770 --> 00:42:31.400
movements
658
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:39.020
that we see here also if we jump down to the last three of the wrist he's got a
659
00:42:39.020 --> 00:42:39.340
little
660
00:42:39.340 --> 00:42:46.340
bit of increased you know motorcycle or flexion extension it impact but he has
661
00:42:46.340 --> 00:42:47.500
very little
662
00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:55.290
unhinged so that's also a steep and he's got very little supination remember I
663
00:42:55.290 --> 00:42:55.580
was saying
664
00:42:55.580 --> 00:43:02.950
120 degrees or so if we look at this top left graph he's going from let's say
665
00:43:02.950 --> 00:43:04.280
30 degrees
666
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:09.120
to 60 degrees so he's only got about 90 degrees of left forearm rotation that
667
00:43:09.120 --> 00:43:10.480
he's covering
668
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:21.650
that's not a whole lot so I this is a golfer who would I think would need to do
669
00:43:21.650 --> 00:43:22.040
a fair
670
00:43:22.040 --> 00:43:29.190
amount of arm training in order to reach that kind of next next level good news
671
00:43:29.190 --> 00:43:29.480
is they
672
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:35.110
already know how to create speed so the body movements are are pretty good
673
00:43:35.110 --> 00:43:36.120
there but they
674
00:43:36.120 --> 00:43:40.630
don't know how to transfer that speed and they don't know how to really kind of
675
00:43:40.630 --> 00:43:41.040
snap
676
00:43:41.040 --> 00:43:49.560
the whip with the forearms or or pull on the club more rotationally so that
677
00:43:49.560 --> 00:43:50.760
wipe and arm
678
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:55.960
motion is going to be a big piece of what this golfer needed to train all right
679
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:56.140
let's
680
00:43:56.140 --> 00:44:01.450
look at one more just so you can kind of again see how all these downswing
681
00:44:01.450 --> 00:44:08.560
pieces fit together
682
00:44:08.560 --> 00:44:16.120
but hopefully hopefully this is making sense and you're you're able to see kind
683
00:44:16.120 --> 00:44:16.800
of what
684
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:23.420
I'm going to look at before I pull it up just based on that little checklist we
685
00:44:23.420 --> 00:44:23.840
had
686
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:28.410
at the beginning of what to look at in the early phase of the downswing what to
687
00:44:28.410 --> 00:44:28.820
look
688
00:44:28.820 --> 00:44:34.070
at in the late phase and then potentially I would go back from there to the
689
00:44:34.070 --> 00:44:35.000
backswing
690
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:40.570
in order to kind of clean up or if there's something going on in the backswing
691
00:44:40.570 --> 00:44:41.200
that's
692
00:44:41.200 --> 00:44:44.360
preventing me from doing what I want in the downswing then I would start to
693
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:45.520
clean it up
694
00:44:45.520 --> 00:44:52.120
okay so now we've got this up let's look at the big pieces first so we'll just
695
00:44:52.120 --> 00:44:52.760
start
696
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:59.210
in the middle of the screen for is there a wipe not really how's the there's no
697
00:44:59.210 --> 00:44:59.720
wipe
698
00:44:59.720 --> 00:45:05.960
here is there arm extension he only gets it doesn't reach a greater it's
699
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:07.360
straightening
700
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:11.310
through impact but it doesn't reach a very straight position after impact and
701
00:45:11.310 --> 00:45:11.760
starts
702
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:16.970
bending quickly so this will have a chicken wing look to it the arc width isn't
703
00:45:16.970 --> 00:45:17.520
terrible
704
00:45:17.520 --> 00:45:22.800
so he's probably consistent but we knew that this golfer like just from those
705
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:24.160
couple pieces
706
00:45:24.160 --> 00:45:30.810
we might think that he's lacking in some speed let's see if we look at the
707
00:45:30.810 --> 00:45:32.840
Jackson five that
708
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:36.040
right there looks like it's changing direction pretty close to the top of the
709
00:45:36.040 --> 00:45:36.680
swing this is
710
00:45:36.680 --> 00:45:43.680
gonna be a photo finish here let's see and I actually don't know the answer but
711
00:45:43.680 --> 00:45:52.240
all right
712
00:45:52.240 --> 00:45:59.460
we may have looks like we got a winner so this frame right here and you can see
713
00:45:59.460 --> 00:46:00.120
I mean
714
00:46:00.120 --> 00:46:06.360
he's an older guy he's he's about a 12 handicap doesn't hit the ball a long way
715
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:06.960
here we can
716
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:13.780
see the lower body is changing direction rotationally right there and then it's
717
00:46:13.780 --> 00:46:15.240
not until this
718
00:46:15.240 --> 00:46:21.480
piece here that it starts to move laterally so this golfer barely has the lower
719
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:22.720
body leading
720
00:46:22.720 --> 00:46:30.850
but it's starting rotation before it starts to shift so this would be a golfer
721
00:46:30.850 --> 00:46:31.560
who I wouldn't
722
00:46:31.560 --> 00:46:35.880
say desperately but could really benefit from some Jackson five training you
723
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:36.760
know this looks
724
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:45.720
like more of your upper body kind of throw in chicken wing on the way through
725
00:46:45.720 --> 00:46:46.560
right you
726
00:46:46.560 --> 00:46:50.980
see that kind of all day long on the lesson tee this is just showing how those
727
00:46:50.980 --> 00:46:51.520
pieces
728
00:46:51.520 --> 00:47:01.470
fit so and if he's got decent motorcycle or club face control which it looks
729
00:47:01.470 --> 00:47:02.880
like he
730
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.660
does right so that's definitely more positive that's probably twenty degrees
731
00:47:07.660 --> 00:47:08.620
more positive
732
00:47:08.620 --> 00:47:17.830
at impact so he was zero or one point five and nine so he's got twelve degrees
733
00:47:17.830 --> 00:47:18.820
of trail
734
00:47:18.820 --> 00:47:23.660
wrist extension and sixteen degrees of lead wrist flexion change in the golf
735
00:47:23.660 --> 00:47:24.300
swing that's
736
00:47:24.300 --> 00:47:28.590
not too bad I could work with that so I'd probably start him working on some
737
00:47:28.590 --> 00:47:29.380
sequencing
738
00:47:29.380 --> 00:47:36.860
and some body movements but if we continue to go through let's look so arm
739
00:47:36.860 --> 00:47:38.340
shallowing
740
00:47:38.340 --> 00:47:48.980
just for fun let's pull up that lead shoulder lift so again here's a golfer
741
00:47:48.980 --> 00:47:49.500
where you'll
742
00:47:49.500 --> 00:47:56.500
see no real lift so pulling down steepening of the trail arm and then a late
743
00:47:56.500 --> 00:47:57.420
shallow
744
00:47:57.420 --> 00:48:02.000
you know it's pulling down in transition and then a late shallow kind of as he
745
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:02.620
gets into
746
00:48:02.620 --> 00:48:08.860
the release so steep arm movements pulling with the arms spinning before so no
747
00:48:08.860 --> 00:48:09.580
Jackson
748
00:48:09.580 --> 00:48:15.050
five this guy if I could combine those two amateurs we'd have a you know a very
749
00:48:15.050 --> 00:48:15.520
good
750
00:48:15.520 --> 00:48:19.630
competitive golfer because the other golfer had really good body awareness and
751
00:48:19.630 --> 00:48:20.220
sequence
752
00:48:20.220 --> 00:48:24.460
and not very good arm motion this golfer has good wrist motion I wouldn't say
753
00:48:24.460 --> 00:48:25.060
great arm
754
00:48:25.060 --> 00:48:30.460
motion but they're kind of polar opposites which is part of why I picked them
755
00:48:30.460 --> 00:48:31.060
for you
756
00:48:31.060 --> 00:48:37.870
okay so then if we jump through we already saw no wipe training if we or no
757
00:48:37.870 --> 00:48:39.460
white movement
758
00:48:39.460 --> 00:48:46.070
if we go to bracing plateau they're not a much not much of a recoil or bracing
759
00:48:46.070 --> 00:48:47.060
movement
760
00:48:47.060 --> 00:48:54.870
here and if we look at the kinematic sequence definitely not much tiny bit in
761
00:48:54.870 --> 00:48:55.940
the lower
762
00:48:55.940 --> 00:49:00.210
body not much bracing in the arms that makes sense if those arms are kind of
763
00:49:00.210 --> 00:49:00.940
bending on
764
00:49:00.940 --> 00:49:07.650
the way through so the that's one of the problems with the chicken wing pattern
765
00:49:07.650 --> 00:49:08.060
for
766
00:49:08.060 --> 00:49:15.490
bracing is it it tends to limit the chest turn limits the flat spot and so that
767
00:49:15.490 --> 00:49:16.220
's where
768
00:49:16.220 --> 00:49:27.460
we saw if we look at the arc width we saw that it was consistent but it's wider
769
00:49:27.460 --> 00:49:28.140
it impact
770
00:49:28.140 --> 00:49:31.410
than it so it's it doesn't have a real sharp peak so it's probably consistent
771
00:49:31.410 --> 00:49:32.340
but it's
772
00:49:32.340 --> 00:49:37.550
wider it set up than it was it impact so it's definitely not as flat as it
773
00:49:37.550 --> 00:49:38.500
could be because
774
00:49:38.500 --> 00:49:44.790
wider is going to have you know a slower change of a more shallow bottom and a
775
00:49:44.790 --> 00:49:45.980
slower change
776
00:49:45.980 --> 00:49:51.930
so it tends to be more consistent so chest turning bracing arm extension sup
777
00:49:51.930 --> 00:49:54.140
ination
778
00:49:54.140 --> 00:49:58.280
he's not too bad again his this guy's wrists aren't terrible he's got a good
779
00:49:58.280 --> 00:49:59.020
short game
780
00:49:59.020 --> 00:50:05.340
uses a lot of hands and wrists his flexion extension isn't bad his supination
781
00:50:05.340 --> 00:50:06.140
isn't too
782
00:50:06.140 --> 00:50:16.220
bad his ulnar deviation isn't great you can see the lead wrist peaks just after
783
00:50:16.220 --> 00:50:17.940
impact
784
00:50:17.940 --> 00:50:23.340
and the trail wrist is a little bit later which it normally will be but that's
785
00:50:23.340 --> 00:50:23.540
still
786
00:50:23.540 --> 00:50:29.330
not that that late so he's he's limited in the width component and he's really
787
00:50:29.330 --> 00:50:29.940
limited
788
00:50:29.940 --> 00:50:34.390
in the pivot component and we got there you know I would probably start with
789
00:50:34.390 --> 00:50:35.020
some Jackson
790
00:50:35.020 --> 00:50:39.920
5's 5 lower body sequence training to help improve this golfer's downswing
791
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:43.020
pattern yeah
792
00:50:43.020 --> 00:50:47.460
so a couple different pros couple different amateurs just wanted to see how you
793
00:50:47.460 --> 00:50:47.940
can kind
794
00:50:47.940 --> 00:50:51.510
of work through each of those different little pieces and then come up with
795
00:50:51.510 --> 00:50:52.220
well what's the
796
00:50:52.220 --> 00:50:57.340
biggest piece that will influence their overall pattern that they're trying to
797
00:50:57.340 --> 00:50:57.940
change and
798
00:50:57.940 --> 00:51:03.720
that depends a little bit on what they tell you during the interview that's why
799
00:51:03.720 --> 00:51:03.900
one of
800
00:51:03.900 --> 00:51:08.210
my pet peeves is when golfers submit their swings to the site and provide zero
801
00:51:08.210 --> 00:51:09.060
description
802
00:51:09.060 --> 00:51:15.460
I use that just as much as I use the data in deciding what we need to work on
803
00:51:15.460 --> 00:51:16.260
okay so
804
00:51:16.260 --> 00:51:29.170
let me go back to the powerpoint and let's jump down okay I knew that the 3d of
805
00:51:29.170 --> 00:51:29.820
the downswing
806
00:51:29.820 --> 00:51:34.010
would take longer than most of the 3d talks so hopefully that wasn't hopefully
807
00:51:34.010 --> 00:51:34.460
that was
808
00:51:34.460 --> 00:51:39.580
kind of fun to follow along and gave you some different ideas when you're
809
00:51:39.580 --> 00:51:40.900
looking at a golfer's
810
00:51:40.900 --> 00:51:46.730
downswing if you don't have 3d for all of those pieces because oftentimes I don
811
00:51:46.730 --> 00:51:47.140
't but
812
00:51:47.140 --> 00:51:52.260
I'm still kind of running through those the checklist in my head of just kind
813
00:51:52.260 --> 00:51:52.780
of like
814
00:51:52.780 --> 00:51:59.660
taking a snapshot of all these different pieces so taking a snapshot of all
815
00:51:59.660 --> 00:52:00.700
these and seeing
816
00:52:00.700 --> 00:52:05.210
which one is kind of the most the biggest outlier the most dysfunctional and
817
00:52:05.210 --> 00:52:06.340
seeing if that one
818
00:52:06.340 --> 00:52:13.680
relates to their overall pattern or their overall complaint okay so back to
819
00:52:13.680 --> 00:52:14.780
planning
820
00:52:14.780 --> 00:52:24.000
out the year this is where golf is one of the hardest sports to plan fitness
821
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:24.980
around
822
00:52:24.980 --> 00:52:36.350
partly because the activity itself takes a long period of time so I'll speak at
823
00:52:36.350 --> 00:52:36.900
it from
824
00:52:36.900 --> 00:52:41.890
a tour golfers perspective primarily so from a competitive golfer or tour gol
825
00:52:41.890 --> 00:52:42.700
fer they're
826
00:52:42.700 --> 00:52:48.540
practicing you know eight hours a day light would be six but it around eight
827
00:52:48.540 --> 00:52:49.220
hours a
828
00:52:49.220 --> 00:52:54.220
day so then you don't have a whole lot of time and it's it's kind of draining
829
00:52:54.220 --> 00:52:54.420
so you
830
00:52:54.420 --> 00:52:59.950
don't have a lot of physical capacity to then add them beating someone up so
831
00:52:59.950 --> 00:53:01.380
that's part
832
00:53:01.380 --> 00:53:09.000
of the reason why some of the corrective stuff like TPI Pilates yoga cars or RK
833
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:11.500
C stretching
834
00:53:11.500 --> 00:53:17.740
myofascial stretching I love that stuff DNS things that help kind of pump the
835
00:53:17.740 --> 00:53:17.980
system
836
00:53:17.980 --> 00:53:22.760
move like create balance in the muscles create balance in the joints that's
837
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:24.660
something that
838
00:53:24.660 --> 00:53:30.300
I think golfers need to do more days than not so as an evening program or
839
00:53:30.300 --> 00:53:31.620
something like
840
00:53:31.620 --> 00:53:38.140
that I think that it's important to do activation and corrective strength
841
00:53:38.140 --> 00:53:40.020
training the overall
842
00:53:40.020 --> 00:53:47.330
goal is to satisfy some of the goals or needs of being a human and as well as
843
00:53:47.330 --> 00:53:48.380
trying not
844
00:53:48.380 --> 00:53:52.750
to mess up their golf game typically the strength training component is one of
845
00:53:52.750 --> 00:53:54.620
the least important
846
00:53:54.620 --> 00:54:00.550
pieces for a tour golfer but ideally I'm trying to create balance from top to
847
00:54:00.550 --> 00:54:01.180
bottom
848
00:54:01.180 --> 00:54:06.770
left to right front to back while airing on maintaining mobility especially in
849
00:54:06.770 --> 00:54:07.500
the shoulders
850
00:54:07.500 --> 00:54:13.300
and hips so external rotation of the shoulders internal rotation of the hips so
851
00:54:13.300 --> 00:54:14.600
I'm very
852
00:54:14.600 --> 00:54:20.390
careful with competitive golfers about doing excessive let's miss Dorsey
853
00:54:20.390 --> 00:54:21.820
training so lats
854
00:54:21.820 --> 00:54:26.780
and and pull ups and things like that I'll typically get more of my lat
855
00:54:26.780 --> 00:54:27.940
training from
856
00:54:27.940 --> 00:54:32.820
something like a deadlift and less from something like a pull up if golf is
857
00:54:32.820 --> 00:54:36.740
their top priority
858
00:54:36.740 --> 00:54:42.370
so then in season golf I tend to focus on things like with my long term
859
00:54:42.370 --> 00:54:43.620
students I tend
860
00:54:43.620 --> 00:54:48.460
to focus on things that have already worked so it's easier to recall and
861
00:54:48.460 --> 00:54:49.460
remember things
862
00:54:49.460 --> 00:54:55.250
and train things and be like you know have the brain kind of bring up an old
863
00:54:55.250 --> 00:54:56.060
pattern or
864
00:54:56.060 --> 00:55:01.310
an old solution rather than investigate something new if they don't have a lot
865
00:55:01.310 --> 00:55:02.300
that's going
866
00:55:02.300 --> 00:55:08.070
wrong in their swing then I'd typically be working on posture tempo sequencing
867
00:55:08.070 --> 00:55:08.580
I've got
868
00:55:08.580 --> 00:55:13.360
three tempos there I like a lot of my golfers to be able to hit solid shots
869
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:14.220
with at least
870
00:55:14.220 --> 00:55:20.010
three different tempos in order to have it hold up on the course and then
871
00:55:20.010 --> 00:55:20.940
working on
872
00:55:20.940 --> 00:55:26.730
skills more so than technique when you're in season and trying to take whatever
873
00:55:26.730 --> 00:55:27.660
technique
874
00:55:27.660 --> 00:55:33.050
we work on and transfer it to an external cue or something feeling with what
875
00:55:33.050 --> 00:55:33.860
the club is
876
00:55:33.860 --> 00:55:41.020
doing or what the club face is doing but hopefully not feeling too much too
877
00:55:41.020 --> 00:55:42.260
specific in the
878
00:55:42.260 --> 00:55:48.130
body with new clients so when you get a new client during the golf season I'll
879
00:55:48.130 --> 00:55:48.900
usually
880
00:55:48.900 --> 00:55:55.680
focus on one or two big pieces and kind of sprinkle in some of the other work
881
00:55:55.680 --> 00:55:56.740
but I will
882
00:55:56.740 --> 00:56:05.230
tend to avoid like a lot of detailed instructions so I might not do a lot of
883
00:56:05.230 --> 00:56:07.900
slow motion training
884
00:56:07.900 --> 00:56:12.100
at this time I might not do a lot of the single arms unless they've already
885
00:56:12.100 --> 00:56:13.380
done that so many
886
00:56:13.380 --> 00:56:17.230
golfers who go through the single arms that becomes like something they can do
887
00:56:17.230 --> 00:56:17.700
to reset
888
00:56:17.700 --> 00:56:24.990
things really quickly so that goes back to this piece here and I'll basically
889
00:56:24.990 --> 00:56:25.820
what I would
890
00:56:25.820 --> 00:56:30.240
probably do is do like if I had to work on the release I would probably work on
891
00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:30.980
something
892
00:56:30.980 --> 00:56:36.280
in the follow through position or work on something kind of big and simple
893
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:37.220
rather than
894
00:56:37.220 --> 00:56:43.520
some of the details of exactly how each arm is moving I'll save that more for
895
00:56:43.520 --> 00:56:44.540
off season
896
00:56:44.540 --> 00:56:48.990
which could be like actual off season or just when you have a gap and you don't
897
00:56:48.990 --> 00:56:49.580
care too
898
00:56:49.580 --> 00:56:53.890
much about what's going on score wise if you're working on your short game and
899
00:56:53.890 --> 00:56:54.540
you want more
900
00:56:54.540 --> 00:56:57.540
practice with it so therefore it's okay if you're working on your full swing
901
00:56:57.540 --> 00:56:57.980
because
902
00:56:57.980 --> 00:57:07.520
you're gonna miss more greens that's a good time to do it as well so off season
903
00:57:07.520 --> 00:57:07.580
you'll
904
00:57:07.580 --> 00:57:11.140
see on the next slide there's a little joke here but the main goal of off
905
00:57:11.140 --> 00:57:11.980
season is kind
906
00:57:11.980 --> 00:57:19.130
of to repair and to build the capacity so then when you start throttling back
907
00:57:19.130 --> 00:57:19.820
during
908
00:57:19.820 --> 00:57:26.060
the end season you had a higher level that you throttled back from so I'll like
909
00:57:26.060 --> 00:57:26.280
this
910
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:30.400
is a good time to do a little bit of power training if they're not completely
911
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:31.100
exhausted
912
00:57:31.100 --> 00:57:38.400
and if they have some extra time so as in like if you only had two weeks of off
913
00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:38.740
season
914
00:57:38.740 --> 00:57:42.040
that's not the same as if you had six weeks of off season but if you can build
915
00:57:42.040 --> 00:57:42.460
up some
916
00:57:42.460 --> 00:57:50.600
power capacity then you can kind of keep it through the like so let's say you
917
00:57:50.600 --> 00:57:51.180
got to
918
00:57:51.180 --> 00:57:55.820
the point where you were doing explosive training maybe you're doing 10 sets of
919
00:57:55.820 --> 00:57:57.900
a power of a
920
00:57:57.900 --> 00:58:03.480
couple different power exercises well then what I might be able to do is during
921
00:58:03.480 --> 00:58:03.980
the end
922
00:58:03.980 --> 00:58:09.340
season I could do you know three or four sets instead of 10 sets and maintain a
923
00:58:09.340 --> 00:58:10.100
little bit
924
00:58:10.100 --> 00:58:17.550
of the power capability that can be both good for kind of slowly making sure
925
00:58:17.550 --> 00:58:18.620
you don't
926
00:58:18.620 --> 00:58:24.860
lose stuff as well as the psychology of feeling like you're still strong but I
927
00:58:24.860 --> 00:58:25.700
think that you
928
00:58:25.700 --> 00:58:30.280
almost have to do this stuff daily to try to repair or this is a great time to
929
00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:30.780
get kind
930
00:58:30.780 --> 00:58:37.930
of a lot of soft tissue work and then this is the what off season because now
931
00:58:37.930 --> 00:58:38.180
with the
932
00:58:38.180 --> 00:58:44.460
wrap around you barely have time to to work on stuff but in golf again this
933
00:58:44.460 --> 00:58:45.340
could be I
934
00:58:45.340 --> 00:58:49.140
don't have any tournaments so it's not that big a deal it doesn't have to be
935
00:58:49.140 --> 00:58:49.620
just hey
936
00:58:49.620 --> 00:58:53.690
it's cold outside and I can't play but this is where I'll typically work on
937
00:58:53.690 --> 00:58:54.420
neglected
938
00:58:54.420 --> 00:59:00.660
phases so I like my golfers to have worked on takeaway backswing transition
939
00:59:00.660 --> 00:59:01.740
release follow
940
00:59:01.740 --> 00:59:08.790
through like each piece at some point during their career so that they can um
941
00:59:08.790 --> 00:59:09.740
go back to
942
00:59:09.740 --> 00:59:13.920
stuff if it starts to get off the hardest thing is when a piece stops working
943
00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:14.460
and you've
944
00:59:14.460 --> 00:59:18.610
never worked on it like you've never trained a release and now you have a new
945
00:59:18.610 --> 00:59:20.020
release problem
946
00:59:20.020 --> 00:59:23.990
or you're you're swinging changed a little bit and now a release problem is
947
00:59:23.990 --> 00:59:24.700
showing up
948
00:59:24.700 --> 00:59:31.980
as a big issue this is where I will do a lot of kind of detailed slow motion
949
00:59:31.980 --> 00:59:33.500
training working
950
00:59:33.500 --> 00:59:38.690
on almost like the Tai Chi style swings working on some of the relationships of
951
00:59:38.690 --> 00:59:39.380
these key
952
00:59:39.380 --> 00:59:45.030
moves this is a good time to do rope training speed sticks if you like those
953
00:59:45.030 --> 00:59:46.380
power training
954
00:59:46.380 --> 00:59:52.620
etc and then the uncomfortable body focus this kind of fits in with the
955
00:59:52.620 --> 00:59:54.060
neglected phases
956
00:59:54.060 --> 00:59:59.620
but like if I have a golfer who's really body aware and they play like that
957
00:59:59.620 --> 01:00:00.860
first amateur
958
01:00:00.860 --> 01:00:05.150
who didn't have a whole lot of arm coordination but played pretty well with his
959
01:00:05.150 --> 01:00:06.860
body in season
960
01:00:06.860 --> 01:00:12.690
I'd probably work on the body because um that's like as in I would use the body
961
01:00:12.690 --> 01:00:13.500
to create my
962
01:00:13.500 --> 01:00:18.460
playing field so my swing thought for the day would most likely be body related
963
01:00:18.460 --> 01:00:19.020
in the off
964
01:00:19.020 --> 01:00:22.570
season I'd be like forget that we're gonna go after your arms I know it's gonna
965
01:00:22.570 --> 01:00:23.340
be tough but
966
01:00:23.340 --> 01:00:28.860
this is what we're gonna do to to build you long term so you go after the more
967
01:00:28.860 --> 01:00:29.660
uncomfortable body
968
01:00:29.660 --> 01:00:34.830
parts either the arms for arm dominant player or sorry for body dominant
969
01:00:34.830 --> 01:00:36.060
players or the body
970
01:00:36.060 --> 01:00:41.510
for arm dominant players and then resetting fundamentals so you know just kind
971
01:00:41.510 --> 01:00:42.860
of taking inventory
972
01:00:42.860 --> 01:00:46.780
using your data and identifying what are the big pieces to work on
973
01:00:48.860 --> 01:00:55.080
so I wanted that to be a little on the brief side because I knew that the 3D
974
01:00:55.080 --> 01:00:55.260
would be
975
01:00:55.260 --> 01:01:02.130
a little bit more I see I've got a few questions from Fred so we'll jump back
976
01:01:02.130 --> 01:01:02.700
over there
977
01:01:02.700 --> 01:01:09.970
and then we'll take a look at a couple swing submissions from coaches so let's
978
01:01:09.970 --> 01:01:11.420
go to the chat
979
01:01:14.140 --> 01:01:20.460
here we've got some questions from Fred so your your comment after your booking
980
01:01:20.460 --> 01:01:22.140
publication till now
981
01:01:22.140 --> 01:01:26.620
do you have any new discoveries you would add any updates you would make so the
982
01:01:26.620 --> 01:01:28.540
the one thing that
983
01:01:28.540 --> 01:01:35.900
I'm working on that I would have done differently is I would start with the the
984
01:01:35.900 --> 01:01:37.820
big picture as far as
985
01:01:37.820 --> 01:01:47.030
like okay um if you want to play well where's this sheet okay so let's see if
986
01:01:47.030 --> 01:01:47.900
you can see
987
01:01:47.900 --> 01:01:56.540
that kind of there um so essentially if you're monitoring your golf game you
988
01:01:56.540 --> 01:01:57.740
want to monitor
989
01:01:57.740 --> 01:02:04.060
the different skills so um let's say you're gonna monitor your t-shots you're
990
01:02:04.060 --> 01:02:04.780
gonna monitor
991
01:02:04.780 --> 01:02:08.260
your iron play maybe your long club your three wood your hybrid game your
992
01:02:08.260 --> 01:02:09.980
distance wedges your
993
01:02:09.980 --> 01:02:14.630
finesse wedges your bunker play um putting whether it's short putts long putts
994
01:02:14.630 --> 01:02:15.660
medium putts you're
995
01:02:15.660 --> 01:02:21.440
gonna monitor and roughly track those different categories if you have an issue
996
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:21.900
like let's say
997
01:02:21.900 --> 01:02:25.480
I'm not hitting enough greens I'm gonna look at the skills related to that
998
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:26.700
issue so am I not hitting
999
01:02:26.700 --> 01:02:30.180
greens because I'm driving it in trouble all the time or am I not hitting
1000
01:02:30.180 --> 01:02:31.740
greens because I'm not
1001
01:02:31.740 --> 01:02:38.530
striking my irons well once I started with that framework then I would layer in
1002
01:02:38.530 --> 01:02:39.100
okay I'm not
1003
01:02:39.100 --> 01:02:42.930
hitting greens because I'm not striking it solidly controlling the face
1004
01:02:42.930 --> 01:02:43.980
controlling the distance
1005
01:02:43.980 --> 01:02:48.420
whatever now I'm going to work on the technique related to those skills so the
1006
01:02:48.420 --> 01:02:50.380
big thing I would
1007
01:02:50.380 --> 01:02:56.660
would do differently in the next version of the book if I were to rewrite it is
1008
01:02:56.660 --> 01:02:57.820
I would start with
1009
01:02:57.820 --> 01:03:03.100
the skills and then layer to the technique but the goal of the book was really
1010
01:03:03.100 --> 01:03:04.300
to be an overview
1011
01:03:04.300 --> 01:03:10.540
of the stock tour swing not necessarily how you should learn golf um so I feel
1012
01:03:10.540 --> 01:03:11.660
like the book
1013
01:03:11.660 --> 01:03:18.220
highlights all the the big issues um I perhaps the one piece that I I would
1014
01:03:18.220 --> 01:03:19.020
have done differently
1015
01:03:19.020 --> 01:03:24.100
actually in the book not adding anything new is in the faults and fixes section
1016
01:03:24.100 --> 01:03:24.460
I wouldn't
1017
01:03:24.460 --> 01:03:31.180
have done it quite the same way I would have done them related more to um like
1018
01:03:31.180 --> 01:03:33.180
more to the skill so
1019
01:03:33.180 --> 01:03:37.400
I would have related the errors to okay let's say you have a low point control
1020
01:03:37.400 --> 01:03:38.460
problem instead of
1021
01:03:38.460 --> 01:03:41.460
saying let's say you have early extension that's the only piece I probably
1022
01:03:41.460 --> 01:03:42.540
would have done differently
1023
01:03:42.540 --> 01:03:48.850
but I have a lot of that on the site so I'm okay with it um let's see from all
1024
01:03:48.850 --> 01:03:50.300
the graphs
1025
01:03:50.300 --> 01:03:54.970
which 10 lines again that depends on which skill you're trying to solve um so
1026
01:03:54.970 --> 01:03:56.540
the the graphs that
1027
01:03:56.540 --> 01:04:01.400
I have up there are my most common 11 graphs that I look at that gives me a
1028
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:02.940
really good snapshot as
1029
01:04:02.940 --> 01:04:07.020
far as how a body's moving and what I've covered in all these webinars or how
1030
01:04:07.020 --> 01:04:07.820
to look through the
1031
01:04:07.820 --> 01:04:12.430
different graphs to see how they they fit into that tour swing model um from
1032
01:04:12.430 --> 01:04:14.780
your experience with
1033
01:04:14.780 --> 01:04:19.930
swing catalyst data do you compare pressure points from average amateurs I do
1034
01:04:19.930 --> 01:04:22.860
not um I think that
1035
01:04:22.860 --> 01:04:29.100
uh if you have the force this like I had pressure data our pressure plate is
1036
01:04:29.100 --> 01:04:30.140
actually not working
1037
01:04:30.140 --> 01:04:33.970
right now but I had pressure data um and I don't see a really strong
1038
01:04:33.970 --> 01:04:35.500
correlation between pressure
1039
01:04:35.500 --> 01:04:39.920
data um among skill levels so if you have force data it might be a little
1040
01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:41.660
different um but
1041
01:04:42.380 --> 01:04:48.940
I haven't seen anything that correlates the pressure data to the skills or the
1042
01:04:48.940 --> 01:04:49.260
force
1043
01:04:49.260 --> 01:04:53.080
data to the skills so like is there a pressure pattern that limits you from
1044
01:04:53.080 --> 01:04:53.820
getting low point
1045
01:04:53.820 --> 01:04:57.950
control um I don't know there are definitely release styles that limit you from
1046
01:04:57.950 --> 01:04:58.700
getting low
1047
01:04:58.700 --> 01:05:06.270
point control so I tend to go there um from the following what are the average
1048
01:05:06.270 --> 01:05:07.900
ranges for ball
1049
01:05:07.900 --> 01:05:19.070
strikers long hitters from p1 p4 p7 plus if possible um I I don't know that
1050
01:05:19.070 --> 01:05:20.300
that data
1051
01:05:20.300 --> 01:05:31.420
chess hips um so again the the arc width uh the the pattern um we covered that
1052
01:05:31.420 --> 01:05:33.420
in a another
1053
01:05:35.420 --> 01:05:42.380
class the club rate of closure um you won't so I've talked a lot with Johnson
1054
01:05:42.380 --> 01:05:43.100
Claire about this
1055
01:05:43.100 --> 01:05:47.880
and I'm pretty much on the same page with him you can't compare rate of closure
1056
01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:49.340
from one golfer to
1057
01:05:49.340 --> 01:05:55.140
another but you can compare it one golfer to themselves so like if a golfer has
1058
01:05:55.140 --> 01:05:55.900
a specific
1059
01:05:55.900 --> 01:06:01.020
rate of closure like let's say it's 1400 degrees per second um and then uh you
1060
01:06:01.020 --> 01:06:02.780
can compare well
1061
01:06:02.780 --> 01:06:07.560
what happened when they hit driver versus wedge you can compare um fade versus
1062
01:06:07.560 --> 01:06:08.940
draw and you can see
1063
01:06:08.940 --> 01:06:15.570
over time like um for example I was consulting with a coach who had a tour pro
1064
01:06:15.570 --> 01:06:16.780
who had like six
1065
01:06:16.780 --> 01:06:20.250
years of 3d data and all of a sudden the rate of closure numbers started
1066
01:06:20.250 --> 01:06:21.260
changing so we were
1067
01:06:21.260 --> 01:06:25.490
looking at why was that changing um but it's not like there's a the the
1068
01:06:25.490 --> 01:06:27.980
spectrum on that is so wide
1069
01:06:27.980 --> 01:06:34.480
that um I would say as long as you're with axial velocity as long as you're
1070
01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:36.780
above 600 and below
1071
01:06:36.780 --> 01:06:45.100
2200 which would be like 99.9 percent of tour pros then you're probably okay
1072
01:06:45.100 --> 01:06:46.060
but what you'll find is
1073
01:06:46.060 --> 01:06:50.360
most golfers are in that category it's not really the amount it's more the
1074
01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:51.420
pattern um which I talked
1075
01:06:51.420 --> 01:06:58.790
about in the um axial velocity piece on the on the webinar um and the the other
1076
01:06:58.790 --> 01:07:00.140
reason I
1077
01:07:00.140 --> 01:07:06.400
I don't have the I don't necessarily have averages um for a lot of those
1078
01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:10.460
movements because the the
1079
01:07:10.460 --> 01:07:16.020
movements will help um kind of explain their pattern and their steeps and shall
1080
01:07:16.020 --> 01:07:17.820
ows and and all
1081
01:07:17.820 --> 01:07:24.380
that stuff um but it doesn't necessarily um like it's not like if you gave me
1082
01:07:24.380 --> 01:07:25.580
any one piece of
1083
01:07:25.580 --> 01:07:30.370
those numbers I could tell you if they were um a long hitter or not you would
1084
01:07:30.370 --> 01:07:31.580
have to see the force
1085
01:07:31.580 --> 01:07:37.480
data you would have to see I mean um 3d gives you an example like a piece of
1086
01:07:37.480 --> 01:07:38.700
the puzzle that it
1087
01:07:38.700 --> 01:07:47.020
doesn't give you everything so I I wouldn't necessarily uh look for for that um
1088
01:07:47.020 --> 01:07:47.980
we don't have a metric
1089
01:07:47.980 --> 01:07:53.380
for arm depth um for the motorcycle movement again it's more of a pattern um in
1090
01:07:53.380 --> 01:07:54.220
fact you would
1091
01:07:54.220 --> 01:08:01.660
actually see uh like if you took a global population of every golfer um long
1092
01:08:01.660 --> 01:08:03.020
hitters would probably
1093
01:08:03.020 --> 01:08:09.260
have worse motorcycle movements than um than shorter hitters but at the tour
1094
01:08:09.260 --> 01:08:11.420
level uh the best of the
1095
01:08:11.420 --> 01:08:16.770
best to figure out how to do a good motorcycle movement and still hit it far um
1096
01:08:16.770 --> 01:08:17.900
but long drive
1097
01:08:17.900 --> 01:08:21.850
guys typically don't have the best motorcycle movement a lot of long hitting am
1098
01:08:21.850 --> 01:08:22.620
ateurs don't have
1099
01:08:22.620 --> 01:08:25.490
really good motorcycle movements so there would probably be an inverse
1100
01:08:25.490 --> 01:08:27.260
relationship there um
1101
01:08:28.780 --> 01:08:35.020
and then jackson five like like I showed again uh 90 uh filled filled freedom
1102
01:08:35.020 --> 01:08:35.820
found like one or two
1103
01:08:35.820 --> 01:08:41.030
in his database that had rotate before slide um so it's just it's a really
1104
01:08:41.030 --> 01:08:42.940
clear timing pattern
1105
01:08:42.940 --> 01:08:52.260
it's not you're looking for a specific amount okay so then we've got a few um
1106
01:08:52.260 --> 01:08:54.540
swing so here's
1107
01:08:54.540 --> 01:08:58.780
kind of the background on this first one so she's 13 years old forehandicap
1108
01:08:58.780 --> 01:08:59.580
played all summer with
1109
01:08:59.580 --> 01:09:04.530
some success we were working together during the autumn winter season um
1110
01:09:04.530 --> 01:09:05.900
thoughts on her move
1111
01:09:05.900 --> 01:09:12.300
through the ball and which drills in particular you would use so
1112
01:09:19.580 --> 01:09:23.740
yeah we'll zoom one out
1113
01:09:23.740 --> 01:09:28.060
okay
1114
01:09:28.060 --> 01:09:41.950
so this is where i'm still going to apply kind of the same thought process of
1115
01:09:41.950 --> 01:09:43.340
what we were doing with
1116
01:09:43.340 --> 01:09:52.550
the um what we were doing with the 3d but now i've just got to apply it from a
1117
01:09:52.550 --> 01:09:53.580
2d perspective
1118
01:09:53.580 --> 01:10:02.300
so i'll start with the the downswing and kind of running through
1119
01:10:03.740 --> 01:10:12.700
some of those pieces and then kind of organize them into a plan okay so in just
1120
01:10:12.700 --> 01:10:13.260
keeping with the
1121
01:10:13.260 --> 01:10:20.000
theme of today let's all right so if we're looking at sequencing so that
1122
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:24.940
appears to be the jackson
1123
01:10:24.940 --> 01:10:31.180
five and the lower body sequencing if i jump to where so lower body definitely
1124
01:10:31.180 --> 01:10:32.700
leading before the
1125
01:10:32.700 --> 01:10:39.590
arms there if we're looking at it from a shallow perspective there appears to
1126
01:10:39.590 --> 01:10:40.140
be some
1127
01:10:40.140 --> 01:10:44.470
shallowness especially in that right arm that looks pretty good um from a
1128
01:10:44.470 --> 01:10:45.900
motorcycle perspective
1129
01:10:45.900 --> 01:10:49.910
i'd check you know roughly the club position down through here it appears that
1130
01:10:49.910 --> 01:10:51.420
it's rotating so
1131
01:10:51.420 --> 01:10:57.190
that looks pretty good um staying in the posture left tilt looks like it's
1132
01:10:57.190 --> 01:10:58.060
pretty decent there
1133
01:10:58.060 --> 01:11:03.500
transition looks looks pretty good especially from the down the line
1134
01:11:03.500 --> 01:11:18.380
so from so now i'm looking at this with two different hats i'd say
1135
01:11:20.140 --> 01:11:28.460
there's a little bit more like early ad doctor and and kind of um anterior tilt
1136
01:11:28.460 --> 01:11:30.860
so i would in the
1137
01:11:30.860 --> 01:11:38.520
gym try and get the the core and the um the glutes a bit stronger um because it
1138
01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:39.420
looks like
1139
01:11:39.420 --> 01:11:42.960
it's more thigh quad dominant there as a power source so for a good player i'd
1140
01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:43.740
be a little worried
1141
01:11:43.740 --> 01:11:54.700
about that um oh gotcha
1142
01:11:54.700 --> 01:11:59.020
so here i'll let you see again
1143
01:11:59.020 --> 01:12:10.060
and then from the down the line view so again good shallowing pretty good
1144
01:12:10.060 --> 01:12:11.100
transition especially
1145
01:12:11.100 --> 01:12:17.180
from this down the line um see a lot of vertical movement down through the ball
1146
01:12:17.180 --> 01:12:24.740
but so here's where i was saying all right from the transition perspective that
1147
01:12:24.740 --> 01:12:25.660
first movement
1148
01:12:25.660 --> 01:12:31.440
there if you're looking at kind of the relationship of the the thighs combined
1149
01:12:31.440 --> 01:12:33.500
with the pelvis going
1150
01:12:33.500 --> 01:12:40.650
slightly anterior um and where she's pushing on her foot that looks like it's a
1151
01:12:40.650 --> 01:12:42.300
little bit more
1152
01:12:42.300 --> 01:12:48.220
of a ad doctor movement to try to um stabilize the pelvis to start having
1153
01:12:48.220 --> 01:12:49.020
something for the upper
1154
01:12:49.020 --> 01:12:53.800
body to rotate around and to uh to have a firm platform to be able to push
1155
01:12:53.800 --> 01:12:55.260
against the ground
1156
01:12:55.260 --> 01:13:01.070
so i'd be working on that you know core and glute activation from a fitness
1157
01:13:01.070 --> 01:13:02.220
perspective
1158
01:13:04.140 --> 01:13:12.750
so down through here i don't i agree with him i don't really love the um the
1159
01:13:12.750 --> 01:13:15.340
release through
1160
01:13:15.340 --> 01:13:21.580
there but the good news is through there like so this is a little bit more of
1161
01:13:21.580 --> 01:13:23.500
kind of a free flowing
1162
01:13:23.500 --> 01:13:28.620
wrist movement down through there than i like to see i would like to see a
1163
01:13:28.620 --> 01:13:30.220
little bit more hands
1164
01:13:30.220 --> 01:13:36.540
forward supination keeping that um trail wrist extension so a little bit more
1165
01:13:36.540 --> 01:13:37.260
white training
1166
01:13:37.260 --> 01:13:42.590
through there but a lot of golfers who would have that early throw would have a
1167
01:13:42.590 --> 01:13:43.500
really quick
1168
01:13:43.500 --> 01:13:49.740
rehinge and she does a pretty good job of keeping the body moving um with that
1169
01:13:49.740 --> 01:13:50.700
rehinge on the way
1170
01:13:50.700 --> 01:14:00.150
through so that piece is really good i'm i'm happy with that now part of the
1171
01:14:00.150 --> 01:14:03.180
wipe is getting that
1172
01:14:03.180 --> 01:14:08.950
right arm in front which comes from activation of the serratus which also uh
1173
01:14:08.950 --> 01:14:10.780
works with the obliques
1174
01:14:10.780 --> 01:14:17.480
but she doesn't really appear that she's using the obliques um down through
1175
01:14:17.480 --> 01:14:19.420
impact so the first
1176
01:14:19.420 --> 01:14:27.660
thing i would do before i tried to correct any of this is i would look at her
1177
01:14:27.660 --> 01:14:29.180
physically in the
1178
01:14:29.180 --> 01:14:33.740
gym and see how the obliques are firing see how the tva is firing see how the
1179
01:14:33.740 --> 01:14:35.660
glutes are firing
1180
01:14:35.660 --> 01:14:40.300
compare those to the quad and the ad doctors and just kind of see what her
1181
01:14:40.300 --> 01:14:41.340
strength pattern is
1182
01:14:41.340 --> 01:14:48.930
through her core um then once i knew that was cleared then i would probably
1183
01:14:48.930 --> 01:14:51.340
work on getting into
1184
01:14:51.340 --> 01:14:57.950
a follow through position with the spine you know closer to the original setup
1185
01:14:57.950 --> 01:15:01.260
angle um and then
1186
01:15:04.380 --> 01:15:11.580
and then once i worked on that she would probably hit them either fat or right
1187
01:15:11.580 --> 01:15:13.180
until we improve
1188
01:15:13.180 --> 01:15:19.110
the release just a little bit um so specifics i would i would test the the
1189
01:15:19.110 --> 01:15:21.580
lower abs and glutes
1190
01:15:21.580 --> 01:15:27.100
and the tva and the adductors and the quads and i would see why she's so quad
1191
01:15:27.100 --> 01:15:30.060
dominant um and then
1192
01:15:30.620 --> 01:15:35.030
i would once i knew that the the serratus and the oblique sorry i would also
1193
01:15:35.030 --> 01:15:36.220
test the obliques
1194
01:15:36.220 --> 01:15:42.490
once i knew that the the core was good to go um i would probably train follow
1195
01:15:42.490 --> 01:15:43.740
through position
1196
01:15:43.740 --> 01:15:51.760
um so i would do stuff working on the the body facing the target a little bit
1197
01:15:51.760 --> 01:15:53.340
more maybe even some
1198
01:15:53.340 --> 01:15:59.250
some right arm only shots feeling like uh that right arm stayed externally
1199
01:15:59.250 --> 01:16:00.540
rotated a little bit
1200
01:16:00.540 --> 01:16:06.030
longer um but i would definitely work through from follow through position back
1201
01:16:06.030 --> 01:16:09.900
to impact um so
1202
01:16:09.900 --> 01:16:15.680
yeah that's probably where i would start and then i would have to adjust the
1203
01:16:15.680 --> 01:16:16.700
plan based on what she's
1204
01:16:16.700 --> 01:16:20.870
doing but um there's a lot of really good things in this in this piece you got
1205
01:16:20.870 --> 01:16:22.220
some good good clay
1206
01:16:23.100 --> 01:16:30.780
to work with here uh okay so then second one
1207
01:16:30.780 --> 01:16:46.060
let's go all right we had a question here um looking for suggestions for the
1208
01:16:46.060 --> 01:16:46.700
student he's a
1209
01:16:46.700 --> 01:16:49.820
d1 golfer so good golfer when i first started working with him he had some
1210
01:16:49.820 --> 01:16:50.780
early extension and
1211
01:16:50.780 --> 01:16:55.420
stall flip pattern with hooks and blocks we were able to eliminate much of the
1212
01:16:55.420 --> 01:16:56.140
early extension
1213
01:16:56.140 --> 01:17:02.360
this summer and we we started working on shallowing move in transition the face
1214
01:17:02.360 --> 01:17:03.020
on and down the line
1215
01:17:03.020 --> 01:17:07.480
videos are from a lesson about a month ago the other view was taken by one of
1216
01:17:07.480 --> 01:17:08.540
his coaches and was
1217
01:17:08.540 --> 01:17:12.720
sent to me yesterday in the video it appears that his early extension is shown
1218
01:17:12.720 --> 01:17:14.540
up again currently his
1219
01:17:15.180 --> 01:17:28.800
big miss is a block all right so these are from the lesson so these were the
1220
01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:29.500
two and then we'll pull
1221
01:17:29.500 --> 01:17:38.940
up the other one um so looking at early extension you got the
1222
01:17:41.340 --> 01:17:46.300
butt line we'll just kind of take a look at a couple different pieces there
1223
01:17:46.300 --> 01:17:53.900
so yeah i would definitely not really put that in an early extension category
1224
01:17:53.900 --> 01:17:55.260
um
1225
01:17:55.260 --> 01:18:03.820
swing looks pretty decent like you said d1 golfer
1226
01:18:08.540 --> 01:18:14.940
and this is when we were swinging really well so we're just using that as our
1227
01:18:14.940 --> 01:18:16.460
current baseline
1228
01:18:16.460 --> 01:18:22.050
now we've got a down the line and we're just going to compare what's going on
1229
01:18:22.050 --> 01:18:22.620
here now
1230
01:18:22.620 --> 01:18:30.370
um camera angle is a little different which is going to be uh relevant to one
1231
01:18:30.370 --> 01:18:30.940
piece that we're
1232
01:18:30.940 --> 01:18:42.220
going to look at and all right let's do a little better job because this person
1233
01:18:42.220 --> 01:18:43.580
did not respect
1234
01:18:43.580 --> 01:18:51.340
using a tripod to make it easy on us um all right so this divot is pretty
1235
01:18:51.340 --> 01:18:52.540
vertical
1236
01:18:56.300 --> 01:18:58.380
okay so that'll just give us a reference
1237
01:18:58.380 --> 01:19:05.580
so if we go up to the top of the swing
1238
01:19:05.580 --> 01:19:18.140
so that moved about that much
1239
01:19:18.140 --> 01:19:22.620
so if we're comparing
1240
01:19:27.180 --> 01:19:34.930
it's it's possible that there's a little bit more um early extension uh but it
1241
01:19:34.930 --> 01:19:37.180
doesn't look
1242
01:19:37.180 --> 01:19:45.490
dramatic so then let's look at well what what might look different so if we get
1243
01:19:45.490 --> 01:19:46.300
it down
1244
01:19:46.300 --> 01:19:46.300
if we go back to this perspective over here it does a pretty good job on the
1245
01:19:46.300 --> 01:19:55.900
way through
1246
01:19:55.900 --> 01:20:02.370
of kind of rotating in his spine angle um and he does a decent job let's look
1247
01:20:02.370 --> 01:20:03.420
at the kind of the
1248
01:20:03.420 --> 01:20:11.870
shaft position there so as he's coming down now it looks like to me the arm
1249
01:20:11.870 --> 01:20:13.820
position is a little
1250
01:20:13.820 --> 01:20:22.630
bit steeper and as a result he's shallowing by kind of reverse thrust with his
1251
01:20:22.630 --> 01:20:23.420
chest
1252
01:20:24.620 --> 01:20:28.460
and possibly going into more side bend
1253
01:20:28.460 --> 01:20:38.860
but mostly that reverse thrust so he's falling into a little bit more of a
1254
01:20:38.860 --> 01:20:44.640
steep early so he's a little bit steep in the arm movements there and then he
1255
01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:45.660
falls into
1256
01:20:45.660 --> 01:20:52.700
shallow late and that shallow late is contributing to that um block pattern on
1257
01:20:52.700 --> 01:20:53.740
the way through
1258
01:20:54.780 --> 01:21:04.540
um now this is where like I would um it depends a lot about your relationship
1259
01:21:04.540 --> 01:21:07.580
with the coach who's
1260
01:21:07.580 --> 01:21:16.250
kind of monitoring him now um this is where like okay he he just went back to
1261
01:21:16.250 --> 01:21:18.380
school what what
1262
01:21:18.380 --> 01:21:18.380
change that might have contributed to this um either he's practicing something
1263
01:21:18.380 --> 01:21:24.060
different he took
1264
01:21:24.060 --> 01:21:29.510
a little layoff and uh you know maybe um I had one golfer who went to school
1265
01:21:29.510 --> 01:21:30.140
and they had
1266
01:21:30.140 --> 01:21:34.210
orientation for a few days and he kind of lost a new feel so if he had just
1267
01:21:34.210 --> 01:21:35.900
started working on the
1268
01:21:35.900 --> 01:21:42.140
shallowness of the arms then perhaps um like it wasn't settled enough and so
1269
01:21:42.140 --> 01:21:42.940
now he's losing that
1270
01:21:42.940 --> 01:21:46.080
and he's trying to recreate the feel and he's getting into more of a shallow
1271
01:21:46.080 --> 01:21:46.780
body position
1272
01:21:48.140 --> 01:21:54.540
that's kind of best case scenario uh worst case scenario is um you know it's
1273
01:21:54.540 --> 01:21:55.500
October you went to
1274
01:21:55.500 --> 01:22:00.680
school a month ago they started back up on the strength program and he's doing
1275
01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:01.820
a lot of lats and
1276
01:22:01.820 --> 01:22:05.880
quads and now he's getting into more of a thrust pattern but the trainer is
1277
01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:06.700
happy because he's
1278
01:22:06.700 --> 01:22:13.530
getting stronger um so that's one one piece of the puzzle that you always have
1279
01:22:13.530 --> 01:22:14.860
to manage which is
1280
01:22:17.020 --> 01:22:24.270
what they're doing training wise can influence these pivot things like going
1281
01:22:24.270 --> 01:22:25.660
shallow and pulling
1282
01:22:25.660 --> 01:22:32.530
with the arms um so it does make sense to me that he's getting more of the
1283
01:22:32.530 --> 01:22:36.620
block pattern um I would
1284
01:22:36.620 --> 01:22:44.300
it looks like he was doing a better job of not only shallowing with the arms
1285
01:22:44.300 --> 01:22:46.140
but unhinging it looks
1286
01:22:46.140 --> 01:22:52.860
like he's later with the unhinging or not hinging unhinging very much at all
1287
01:22:52.860 --> 01:22:54.140
and so therefore he's
1288
01:22:54.140 --> 01:22:59.440
creating the extra shallowness with the body um the unhinging is a hard one if
1289
01:22:59.440 --> 01:23:00.220
they've never
1290
01:23:00.220 --> 01:23:04.850
worked on it before to to put in during the season but the good news is this
1291
01:23:04.850 --> 01:23:05.980
should be the end of
1292
01:23:05.980 --> 01:23:11.130
kind of the fall season so that's where I would try to go technique wise is I'd
1293
01:23:11.130 --> 01:23:13.180
work on the unhinged
1294
01:23:13.180 --> 01:23:19.930
piece and then um if he did that and still side bend he'd kind of um drop kick
1295
01:23:19.930 --> 01:23:21.100
things a little bit
1296
01:23:21.100 --> 01:23:29.360
so that would force him to get the path a little bit less into out um which is
1297
01:23:29.360 --> 01:23:32.140
part of his block
1298
01:23:32.140 --> 01:23:37.980
pattern um it would also by unhinging it would encourage a little bit more of
1299
01:23:37.980 --> 01:23:39.180
the supination on
1300
01:23:39.180 --> 01:23:44.460
the way through which would also um potentially help with the the block pattern
1301
01:23:44.460 --> 01:23:46.460
but this is where
1302
01:23:46.460 --> 01:23:51.940
I'm a little concerned that part of the influence is coming from the gym
1303
01:23:51.940 --> 01:23:53.900
program and that can be
1304
01:23:53.900 --> 01:24:03.470
really hard on D1 golfers um I I've seen that a number of times uh but if it's
1305
01:24:03.470 --> 01:24:04.940
just a swing thing
1306
01:24:04.940 --> 01:24:08.460
that's kind of the piece that I would be looking for is it looks like he's lost
1307
01:24:08.460 --> 01:24:13.560
some of that uh shallowness it doesn't look as dramatic because of the
1308
01:24:13.560 --> 01:24:15.420
different camera angles
1309
01:24:15.420 --> 01:24:22.060
but if you had the same camera angle um then the the relative height of the
1310
01:24:22.060 --> 01:24:23.100
club compared to the
1311
01:24:23.100 --> 01:24:29.470
head would look a lot more dramatic it would look steeper you have them working
1312
01:24:29.470 --> 01:24:30.620
on the owner
1313
01:24:30.620 --> 01:24:37.020
deviation drill um perfect that's the direction that I would be going um and
1314
01:24:37.020 --> 01:24:38.140
when he does that
1315
01:24:38.140 --> 01:24:44.390
owner deviation drill does it improve the the block does it you know change the
1316
01:24:44.390 --> 01:24:45.660
start line does it
1317
01:24:45.660 --> 01:24:50.500
create a curve does he need to do owner deviation as well as a little bit of
1318
01:24:50.500 --> 01:24:52.700
supination um like
1319
01:24:52.700 --> 01:24:57.190
basically is it is it a block because the path is too much into out or is it a
1320
01:24:57.190 --> 01:24:58.060
block because the
1321
01:24:58.060 --> 01:25:02.220
club face is getting left open
1322
01:25:28.060 --> 01:25:51.820
and I'm just hoping that ed's typing up a little explanation separate from
1323
01:25:54.940 --> 01:25:58.780
like because I think owner deviation
1324
01:25:58.780 --> 01:26:04.700
okay good so you were mostly just looking for confirmation that the owner
1325
01:26:04.700 --> 01:26:05.740
deviation is in the
1326
01:26:05.740 --> 01:26:09.330
right ballpark that's exactly the first thing I would go after especially if he
1327
01:26:09.330 --> 01:26:10.140
's already worked
1328
01:26:10.140 --> 01:26:14.630
on it before um it looks like he was doing a better job of it here um and he's
1329
01:26:14.630 --> 01:26:15.580
pulling down a
1330
01:26:15.580 --> 01:26:20.950
little bit more um over here so again I would investigate the I would
1331
01:26:20.950 --> 01:26:22.860
investigate what's going
1332
01:26:22.860 --> 01:26:26.790
on with his fitness program um but I think you're in the right ballpark as far
1333
01:26:26.790 --> 01:26:26.940
as
1334
01:26:26.940 --> 01:26:31.180
what you need to do to rebalance the swing
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
All right, so in today's topics, we're going to look at the 3D of the downswing
2
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:08.320
, and we're
3
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.640
going to look at kind of how do you organize the plan for your golfers.
4
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.920
So basically, what are you going to do in season?
5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:20.600
What are you going to do off season?
6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.360
Is there really an off season, et cetera?
7
00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:25.240
And then we've got a few coaches' questions.
8
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:30.160
If you have any questions, because we're going to cover a whole lot here, if
9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:30.820
you have
10
00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:35.800
any questions, need me to repeat something, go ahead and type it into the chat.
11
00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:40.920
I'll have that over on the other monitor and check that periodically.
12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.720
So essentially, we're going to take a look at the downswing.
13
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:52.040
And the downswing is, I break it down into two different phases.
14
00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:57.680
So phase one is when you're creating speed or building up power.
15
00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:00.840
And then phase two is when you're transferring that power.
16
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.060
So I call the bridge between those two positions a delivery position, as we see
17
00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:08.160
, which we can
18
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:09.160
see over here.
19
00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:11.520
It's a little different for every golfer.
20
00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:15.930
So I pick delivery position based on when that lead upper arm segment is
21
00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:16.840
reaching its
22
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:18.680
maximum speed.
23
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.520
This also coincides with when the grip is reaching its maximum speed linearly.
24
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:30.320
So this is where the grip will be 25, 28 miles per hour for fast swingers.
25
00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:35.440
And then they're going to transfer all that grip speed into club head speed by
26
00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:36.120
going more
27
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.200
rotationally or angularly.
28
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.640
There are a couple other things that are happening at this point in time.
29
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.400
The pelvis is kind of back into its neutral position usually.
30
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.680
So it's pretty square, it's pretty level.
31
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.060
The upper body has reached its maximum flex, and now it's going to start going
32
00:01:56.060 --> 00:01:57.560
into extension.
33
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.520
So this is essentially where the start of the bracing pattern will happen.
34
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:05.800
And from talking with one club fitter, he said this is right around the time
35
00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:06.280
when you'll
36
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:11.720
see maximum deformation in the club.
37
00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:15.540
I haven't seen that one personally, so I don't know if that's 100% true, but
38
00:02:15.540 --> 00:02:16.120
perhaps some
39
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.240
of those who are looking at the timing of shaft flex would be able to confirm
40
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:21.720
that at
41
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:23.520
some point.
42
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.970
But I think this is kind of a really good breaking point for having a
43
00:02:27.970 --> 00:02:29.480
discussion of what's going
44
00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:31.520
on in the downswing.
45
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:39.080
So in the first phase in transition, we're going to look at the body movements.
46
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.770
So the Jackson 5 and the sequencing and creating the rotational speed with the
47
00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:46.560
body.
48
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.160
And then the arm movements that allow for that to happen, so looking at arm
49
00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:52.120
shallowing,
50
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.700
the start of the wipe, you'll see that the wipe is in both categories because
51
00:02:55.700 --> 00:02:56.120
it kind
52
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.840
of bridges the whole downswing.
53
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.160
Then also looking at club face control or the motorcycle, as well as looking at
54
00:03:05.160 --> 00:03:05.800
staying
55
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.840
in your posture or the left tilt.
56
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.250
Then when we get into the release phase, this is now how do I take that energy
57
00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:13.960
in the grip
58
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.720
and transfer it all to the club head.
59
00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:21.840
This is where you'll see some key wrist movements, so the unhinge, the amount
60
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.320
of flexion extension
61
00:03:23.320 --> 00:03:26.720
and looking at the supination pattern.
62
00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:33.020
That's going to relate to the bracing, which we saw starts at that delivery
63
00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:35.080
position, the
64
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.990
arc width and the timing of the arm extension and then continuing with the wipe
65
00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:41.360
.
66
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:47.600
So my plan is that we'll go through these graphs in a little bit more of a case
67
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:48.120
study
68
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:53.440
fashion and kind of talk through how one particular golfer, how all the pieces
69
00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:54.640
kind of fit together,
70
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:58.640
look at their downswing in the two different phases.
71
00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:03.090
But in your PowerPoint that you'll be able to look at, I've got three different
72
00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:04.000
screenshots
73
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.040
for each golfer.
74
00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:12.670
So the first one, the screenshot is when the pelvis is roughly changing
75
00:04:12.670 --> 00:04:13.880
direction.
76
00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:17.210
So this could be thought of as the start of the downswing, if you wanted to see
77
00:04:17.210 --> 00:04:17.600
any of
78
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.680
the numbers there.
79
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.040
Then I've got them at their delivery position and then I've got them at impact.
80
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.520
So you'll be able to see some of the key numbers and changes at those different
81
00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:30.600
points in the
82
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:31.600
phase.
83
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:39.240
All right, so now hopefully this is where we realized we didn't have audio last
84
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:39.920
time.
85
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.840
Hopefully it all works out good here.
86
00:04:43.840 --> 00:05:12.640
Okay, so let me pull up our first pro, and this is my default look when I'm
87
00:05:12.640 --> 00:05:13.120
just kind
88
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:19.400
of taking a snapshot of a golfer for the first time.
89
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:24.200
These are all of the important graphs that I want to be able to see.
90
00:05:24.200 --> 00:05:28.160
So this is again a longer hitter on tour.
91
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.120
Let's kind of jump through and look at these different pieces.
92
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:40.950
So first thing, if we're looking at the Jackson five, we're basically looking
93
00:05:40.950 --> 00:05:42.520
at the timing
94
00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:48.880
when the lower body goes from shifting away to shifting towards.
95
00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:52.920
So this is the lateral movement.
96
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:59.160
And on this pelvis graph, you're basically looking for when it's starting to go
97
00:05:59.160 --> 00:05:59.640
up and
98
00:05:59.640 --> 00:06:05.490
you can compare that to the rotational movement of the kinematic sequence and
99
00:06:05.490 --> 00:06:07.000
basically looking
100
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.480
at when the rotational movement is starting to happen.
101
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:21.760
So if I take this to the top of the backswing and then I work backward, so
102
00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:23.760
negative.
103
00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:28.760
So right there is where the first positive pelvis rotation speed is.
104
00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:33.400
So that means he's starting to rotate towards the target.
105
00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:37.790
And if we go over here, we can clearly see that the lateral movement has
106
00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:38.760
happened well
107
00:06:38.760 --> 00:06:45.400
before the initiation of the rotational movement.
108
00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:51.640
So that relationship there, it doesn't show up quite as often as you would
109
00:06:51.640 --> 00:06:52.600
think with
110
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.600
amateurs.
111
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.380
They'll usually have lateral before rotational, but when you find that they go
112
00:06:58.380 --> 00:06:59.160
rotational
113
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:05.840
before lateral, it does create some pretty big problems and it's a pretty
114
00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:07.140
significant
115
00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:11.450
change when you get someone to finally start getting lateral first, the little
116
00:07:11.450 --> 00:07:12.240
shift before
117
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.580
rotation.
118
00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:21.060
From the, if we're now looking at the arm shallowing, if you recall, that's
119
00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:21.720
where we
120
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:28.220
jump over to look at the loading of the wrist in the downswing, especially the
121
00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:29.260
lead arm.
122
00:07:29.260 --> 00:07:35.500
So the blue line is going to look at the rotations and the blue line here, oh,
123
00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:36.300
sorry, it does
124
00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:39.200
this occasionally.
125
00:07:39.200 --> 00:07:43.160
All right.
126
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:49.760
So the blue line is going to be looking at the left arm pronation, supination,
127
00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:50.240
and you'll
128
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:57.030
see here in transition that the left arm is going to be pronating or shallowing
129
00:07:57.030 --> 00:07:57.720
during
130
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:02.560
this early part of the downswing.
131
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:07.540
We could also, we'll come back to arc width.
132
00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:14.040
We could also look at the lead shoulder lift, which isn't one of my defaults,
133
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:15.180
but we talked
134
00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:22.260
about it in the arm shallowing, did I miss it there?
135
00:08:22.260 --> 00:08:28.220
There it is.
136
00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:34.000
So you can look at lead shoulder lift to see how much they are, the timing of
137
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:34.500
when they
138
00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:36.660
start pulling down.
139
00:08:36.660 --> 00:08:41.100
So typical golfers who are getting steepening or creating more of the speed
140
00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:42.340
with their arms,
141
00:08:42.340 --> 00:08:46.200
this will start pulling down almost right away.
142
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.700
So you can see this golfer is keeping that arm up all the way through there.
143
00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:59.520
So significant enough that they're probably getting the center of mass of the
144
00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:00.220
club to
145
00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:02.820
then drop down, because that's a little shallowing move.
146
00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:09.060
And then right when they start to pull down, they're getting a little bit more
147
00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:09.620
of that
148
00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:14.740
arm shallowing from rotation, and you'll see that arm shallowing is going all
149
00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:15.760
the way down
150
00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:22.460
until about their delivery position, just a little short of it.
151
00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:29.700
So then the next piece would be, we'll jump and we'll look at the left tilt.
152
00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:33.460
So the left tilt is just a phrase I use for kind of staying in your posture.
153
00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:37.660
And there's two different pieces that you could look at.
154
00:09:37.660 --> 00:09:43.620
Both of them would be from the upper body perspective on the torso.
155
00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:47.340
So this golfer doesn't actually have a lot of left tilt.
156
00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:52.460
Many golfers will actually continue their side bend until late in the downswing
157
00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:52.740
.
158
00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:58.150
So the other place where you can see maintaining your posture would be looking
159
00:09:58.150 --> 00:09:58.660
at the amount
160
00:09:58.660 --> 00:10:03.500
of forward bend and just noticing if they reach more forward bend during the
161
00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:04.260
downswing
162
00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:06.340
than they had it set up.
163
00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:11.730
And so with this golfer, you can pretty easily see that they are reaching more
164
00:10:11.730 --> 00:10:12.660
of a forward
165
00:10:12.660 --> 00:10:18.650
bend, it's above that line where the starting position and the amount of flex
166
00:10:18.650 --> 00:10:19.940
ion is below.
167
00:10:19.940 --> 00:10:26.340
So this pros checking off all the boxes, let's look at the wipe.
168
00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:35.560
So as I talked about in the video or the webinar where we actually kind of dug
169
00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:36.500
into the wipe
170
00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:39.340
a little bit, there's a few different ways to look at it.
171
00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:46.520
But the wipe is basically how a golfer is applying force to the club and trying
172
00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:46.940
to get
173
00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:54.090
that force to be more kind of around their body or rotationally as opposed to
174
00:10:54.090 --> 00:10:54.800
down at
175
00:10:54.800 --> 00:11:01.820
the golf ball or more of the couple or more kind of arm and hand motion.
176
00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:08.140
And so a couple different ways that you'll see that is through there.
177
00:11:08.140 --> 00:11:14.380
You'll see as they're crossing delivery position and beginning to get into the
178
00:11:14.380 --> 00:11:15.300
release, you
179
00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:20.420
will see the arm separate a little bit as the left arm is pulling and as the
180
00:11:20.420 --> 00:11:21.340
club is moving
181
00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:24.420
more across their body instead of down.
182
00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:30.660
So that shows up usually in one of a couple different places that shows up in a
183
00:11:30.660 --> 00:11:31.460
reflexing
184
00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:33.260
of the left arm.
185
00:11:33.260 --> 00:11:44.050
So this golfer you can see has that left arm whip where basically right around
186
00:11:44.050 --> 00:11:44.980
there,
187
00:11:44.980 --> 00:11:51.260
the arm is now, the left arm is now going to start bending as this arm will
188
00:11:51.260 --> 00:11:52.420
pull across
189
00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:53.740
towards the target.
190
00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:58.950
So it's bending all the way through there as a way to kind of use the shoulder
191
00:11:58.950 --> 00:11:59.660
muscles
192
00:11:59.660 --> 00:12:06.820
to pull the arm across and then it will start straightening through there to
193
00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:08.500
kind of transfer
194
00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:15.660
that energy and almost kind of ride the momentum into more of a kind of free
195
00:12:15.660 --> 00:12:17.620
swinging release.
196
00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:21.090
So the club is helping straighten the arm through there after they pulled it
197
00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:21.660
across,
198
00:12:21.660 --> 00:12:27.580
which is why I call that the wipe or the lead arm whip.
199
00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:32.340
This graph here is looking at the separation between the arms.
200
00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:38.580
And so golfers who have this wipe movement will typically have either a plateau
201
00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:38.900
in the
202
00:12:38.900 --> 00:12:43.780
downswing or this golfer who does it a lot will tend to have actually a second
203
00:12:43.780 --> 00:12:44.460
peak.
204
00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:49.130
So the space between the elbows is getting closer and then right through here,
205
00:12:49.130 --> 00:12:49.780
that same
206
00:12:49.780 --> 00:12:55.290
phase, the space between the elbows is getting wider and then it will get
207
00:12:55.290 --> 00:12:56.740
massively closer
208
00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:58.140
down through the release.
209
00:12:58.140 --> 00:13:03.720
That's that arm extension piece that I talked about in the second, the phase
210
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.820
two, the release.
211
00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:12.710
Okay, the last piece where we can see the wipe is looking at the trail wrist
212
00:13:12.710 --> 00:13:14.100
angles.
213
00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:20.580
And typically what you'll see is a radial increase mid downswing.
214
00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:22.820
Now remember the hands are facing slightly different.
215
00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:26.660
So the hands won't 100% match each other.
216
00:13:26.660 --> 00:13:30.480
And what you'll see mid downswing is the shallowing is happening more from sup
217
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:31.060
ination.
218
00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:39.380
So the, the increased hinge here is what allows the golfer to pull the club
219
00:13:39.380 --> 00:13:41.860
across more horizontally.
220
00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:46.370
So if you imagine here, if I, if I froze everything in space and increase the
221
00:13:46.370 --> 00:13:46.940
hinge,
222
00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:53.620
the club would just go up, but because the left arm is pulling at the same time
223
00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:53.980
, the
224
00:13:53.980 --> 00:14:00.460
club will work across the screen that way instead of more down that way.
225
00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:05.240
So just through there that gets the club or the grip moving more across the
226
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.020
body so that
227
00:14:06.020 --> 00:14:10.490
then when the momentum of the club is pulling on the hands, it's going to be
228
00:14:10.490 --> 00:14:11.420
directed out
229
00:14:11.420 --> 00:14:16.580
in front of the body with a pretty good flat spot.
230
00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:24.600
And then lastly looking at the motorcycle, typically we'll look at the left
231
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:25.140
wrist, which
232
00:14:25.140 --> 00:14:28.060
you can also look at the right wrist.
233
00:14:28.060 --> 00:14:36.770
So in transition, you want to see some increasing of that trail wrist extension
234
00:14:36.770 --> 00:14:38.420
and lead wrist
235
00:14:38.420 --> 00:14:47.340
flexion. So the green lines in the two arm graphs.
236
00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:52.120
So the green line here starting to go up, just looking at that timing and the
237
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:52.740
rate.
238
00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:58.660
So this golfer has a motorcycle movement that happens before they transition.
239
00:14:58.660 --> 00:15:04.430
And then the increase in the extension, when you see like a really big dip like
240
00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:05.100
that, that
241
00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:10.890
will typically be associated with more trail wrist power, kind of a really good
242
00:15:10.890 --> 00:15:11.540
stretch
243
00:15:11.540 --> 00:15:15.420
shortened cycle in that trail wrist.
244
00:15:15.420 --> 00:15:20.860
So this golfer checks all the boxes.
245
00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:27.550
Little bit, didn't have 100% in the left tilt category, but got it more from
246
00:15:27.550 --> 00:15:28.620
flexion, but
247
00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:36.640
had really good shallowing as well as wipe, as well as motorcycle, as well as
248
00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:38.260
sequencing.
249
00:15:38.260 --> 00:15:45.940
So now we'll see if we take a look at the release components, we'll see how all
250
00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:46.620
those
251
00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:51.020
kind of fit together or where we go to investigate.
252
00:15:51.020 --> 00:15:57.990
So the arm extension piece, we'll just go down the list, the arm extension
253
00:15:57.990 --> 00:15:58.700
piece is going
254
00:15:58.700 --> 00:16:05.260
to show up primarily in the elbow extension and the elbow separation graph.
255
00:16:05.260 --> 00:16:13.620
So you'll see the arms reaching their straightest position well after impact.
256
00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:19.200
So you'll see a pretty clear arm straightening pattern where there's no real
257
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.260
slope change
258
00:16:20.260 --> 00:16:31.540
or hiccups between basically between there and there.
259
00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:40.940
Those arms are straightening and you'll see if we go even further, the elbows
260
00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:42.500
are getting
261
00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:48.060
closest together all the way until there.
262
00:16:48.060 --> 00:16:52.630
So I think of that as I've created all the speed and now the club is going to
263
00:16:52.630 --> 00:16:53.420
be pulling
264
00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:59.080
my arms into their straightest position if I have the arms soft enough to let
265
00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.740
them.
266
00:16:59.740 --> 00:17:04.460
But it's not necessarily a really active movement like I'm pushing the club.
267
00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:09.670
It's more like the club has so much speed that it's pulling me into that
268
00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:10.740
position.
269
00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:16.380
Part of that is going to come from the next piece which is looking at bracing.
270
00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:23.980
So the bracing will show up in a couple different ways depending on what you
271
00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:26.500
got access to but
272
00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:33.000
where I'm usually looking at their bracing pattern is first I'll check the pel
273
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:33.660
vis and
274
00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:40.940
the thorax linear directions, so the sway slide.
275
00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:47.430
And so what I'm looking for is on this pelvis position graph having more of a
276
00:17:47.430 --> 00:17:48.380
flat line
277
00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:51.500
through impact as opposed to a continued slope.
278
00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:57.740
This golfer has a little bit more of a buckle or a slide so it's not the most
279
00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:58.540
efficient
280
00:17:58.540 --> 00:18:00.820
bracing pattern but it's not bad.
281
00:18:00.820 --> 00:18:05.800
And then I'm looking at the upper body moving away from the target and
282
00:18:05.800 --> 00:18:07.460
basically how much.
283
00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:14.290
So this golfer, let's say that's somewhere around 2 inches and then so this gol
284
00:18:14.290 --> 00:18:14.900
fer is
285
00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:22.060
moving about 5 inches away from the target between, that's going to be pretty
286
00:18:22.060 --> 00:18:22.820
close to
287
00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:24.700
delivery position.
288
00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:35.080
So just before delivery position and then going all the way until that position
289
00:18:35.080 --> 00:18:36.060
there.
290
00:18:36.060 --> 00:18:42.560
So essentially the release is the upper body moving away as the arms are moving
291
00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:43.320
towards
292
00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:45.460
the target.
293
00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:49.260
The other piece where I'll look at the bracing position is the classic kinem
294
00:18:49.260 --> 00:18:49.980
atic sequence
295
00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:56.780
and this gets us into the chest turning, chest rotation which so if I'm looking
296
00:18:56.780 --> 00:18:57.420
at it from
297
00:18:57.420 --> 00:19:04.640
the kinematic sequence perspective, I'm looking at how well these lines are de
298
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:06.180
celerating.
299
00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:12.130
This pattern here is a common one that you'll see with better golfers where
300
00:19:12.130 --> 00:19:13.500
through impact
301
00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:18.140
the thing moving the fastest is the chest turning.
302
00:19:18.140 --> 00:19:23.000
So the hips have slowed down, the arms have slowed down, the body is continuing
303
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:23.500
to turn
304
00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:30.190
with the club but the arms have transferred all their speed and the body has or
305
00:19:30.190 --> 00:19:31.140
the lower
306
00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:36.300
body has decelerated pretty well at the same time.
307
00:19:36.300 --> 00:19:40.100
So I would say this golfer has a pretty good, even though there's a little bit
308
00:19:40.100 --> 00:19:41.100
of a slide
309
00:19:41.100 --> 00:19:46.440
the kinematic sequence doesn't show a massive slide problem so it's still
310
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:47.500
showing up as
311
00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:50.860
a really good bracing pattern.
312
00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:58.290
Now you all know my favorite graph, the arc width graph which we took away when
313
00:19:58.290 --> 00:19:59.300
I brought
314
00:19:59.300 --> 00:20:07.820
up the lead shoulder so let me pull that up.
315
00:20:07.820 --> 00:20:13.390
So the arc width graph is kind of looking at the flat spot or how long this
316
00:20:13.390 --> 00:20:14.300
club stays
317
00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:17.580
in its widest position.
318
00:20:17.580 --> 00:20:22.860
I'd like to see it further away through impact than it was at the setup and
319
00:20:22.860 --> 00:20:24.140
having a pretty
320
00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:25.860
decent plateau.
321
00:20:25.860 --> 00:20:32.250
This is highly related to that bracing pattern and this is highly related to
322
00:20:32.250 --> 00:20:34.460
the wipe or the
323
00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:35.460
arm extension.
324
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:43.030
It's going to be connected to your side bend move as well but the more
325
00:20:43.030 --> 00:20:45.020
important ones are
326
00:20:45.020 --> 00:20:52.770
the arm extension position, the timing of the wrist movements and the bracing
327
00:20:52.770 --> 00:20:53.700
pattern.
328
00:20:53.700 --> 00:21:00.660
So which now gets us into those key wrist movements.
329
00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:09.070
So through impact there's a fair amount of variability or variety so I don't
330
00:21:09.070 --> 00:21:11.020
teach necessarily
331
00:21:11.020 --> 00:21:17.500
just one pattern but some of the more common things that I'm looking at are the
332
00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:18.200
timing
333
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.620
and the amount of the unhinge.
334
00:21:20.620 --> 00:21:30.800
So with the red line reaching its maximum unhinge after impact I know that some
335
00:21:30.800 --> 00:21:31.660
stuff
336
00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:39.660
coming out from hack motion has shown their changing direction close to impact.
337
00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:45.490
I've got a buddy, we're going to do some testing with that and try to uncover
338
00:21:45.490 --> 00:21:46.060
where
339
00:21:46.060 --> 00:21:48.140
the discrepancy is coming in.
340
00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:53.360
One real big possibility is I know it's at a different frame rate compared to
341
00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:53.760
AMN so
342
00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:59.160
it's at 100 hertz instead of 240 that could relate or I think it could be with
343
00:21:59.160 --> 00:21:59.740
the way
344
00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:06.210
that the sensor is attached to the grip but I rarely see, in fact I can't think
345
00:22:06.210 --> 00:22:06.820
of any
346
00:22:06.820 --> 00:22:12.590
good players where the club is starting to rehinge right at impact but you'll
347
00:22:12.590 --> 00:22:13.300
see that
348
00:22:13.300 --> 00:22:17.380
with the amateurs periodically.
349
00:22:17.380 --> 00:22:23.150
So then the flexion extension change, that's the flying wedge and one of the
350
00:22:23.150 --> 00:22:24.380
key components
351
00:22:24.380 --> 00:22:31.150
to getting shaft lean which is wherever they start you want to see more
352
00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:34.660
motorcycle at impact.
353
00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:43.470
So at impact this golfer had 25 degrees of trail wrist extension and 0 degrees
354
00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:44.140
of flexion
355
00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:51.940
so the left wrist was pretty much flat but at impact or sorry at setup the gol
356
00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:52.780
fer was
357
00:22:52.780 --> 00:22:57.900
almost the opposite, 25 degrees of extension of the lead wrist and 2 degrees of
358
00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:58.500
flexion
359
00:22:58.500 --> 00:23:00.460
of the trail wrist.
360
00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:05.300
So during the downswing with all these loading and unloading you will see that
361
00:23:05.300 --> 00:23:06.420
they are making
362
00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:14.490
contact with the club 25 degrees more rotated in the left wrist and the right
363
00:23:14.490 --> 00:23:15.540
wrist.
364
00:23:15.540 --> 00:23:23.840
I think that's one of the more important pieces for iron play for solid contact
365
00:23:23.840 --> 00:23:24.460
, it's not
366
00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:29.420
necessarily the most important thing for the driver.
367
00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:35.250
And then the last piece would be looking at the supination and basically I'm
368
00:23:35.250 --> 00:23:36.500
looking for
369
00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:45.860
a smooth gradual curve covering 120 to 140 degrees so here you'll see where I
370
00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:46.820
get that
371
00:23:46.820 --> 00:23:56.430
idea of the smooth kind of consistent transition where essentially from right
372
00:23:56.430 --> 00:23:58.100
around there
373
00:23:58.100 --> 00:24:07.670
here in the downswing delivery position or close to it all the way until there
374
00:24:07.670 --> 00:24:08.300
you have
375
00:24:08.300 --> 00:24:15.460
a pretty smooth rate of supination so it's pretty consistent and somewhat
376
00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:16.700
gradual.
377
00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:21.180
What you'll typically see is golfers you have a little bit more of a scoop flip
378
00:24:21.180 --> 00:24:22.020
might start
379
00:24:22.020 --> 00:24:27.410
it earlier or later but they'll typically have a really big spike at impact and
380
00:24:27.410 --> 00:24:27.820
then
381
00:24:27.820 --> 00:24:32.340
they won't cover as much range of motion.
382
00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:40.000
So I know I cover a lot of things on the website as far as some of these key
383
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.820
components but
384
00:24:41.820 --> 00:24:47.060
I think that visualizing the graphs makes it easier to see how these pieces all
385
00:24:47.060 --> 00:24:48.920
fit together.
386
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:55.160
So I spent more time on that first one just to make sure that we're on the same
387
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:55.860
page and
388
00:24:55.860 --> 00:25:01.810
now we'll go through a few more where we can look for some of these anomalies
389
00:25:01.810 --> 00:25:03.900
or how these
390
00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:11.480
pieces kind of fit together so we'll do this one a little bit quicker.
391
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:27.980
Okay so quick scan on the downswing I'll usually look at kind of the overall
392
00:25:27.980 --> 00:25:29.520
shape so arc
393
00:25:29.520 --> 00:25:33.280
width and wipe showing up first.
394
00:25:33.280 --> 00:25:39.840
So he's got a little plateau he's got the width afterward he's got some club
395
00:25:39.840 --> 00:25:40.760
rotation
396
00:25:40.760 --> 00:25:44.480
in the actual velocity so although overall pieces are there.
397
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:51.020
Now let's look at some of these details so we can see pelvis changing direction
398
00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:51.640
right
399
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:57.590
around there that's well before top of the top of the swing it's pretty clear
400
00:25:57.590 --> 00:25:58.320
that he's
401
00:25:58.320 --> 00:26:08.060
got that sequencing happening if we will look at the kinematic sequence he
402
00:26:08.060 --> 00:26:09.960
transfers his
403
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:20.560
lower body quite early so let's just see just for argument sake.
404
00:26:20.560 --> 00:26:26.380
So right here this frame here is the first time that the golfer's pelvis is
405
00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:27.240
rotating
406
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.670
in the positive direction you can see how I was just kind of monitoring that so
407
00:26:32.670 --> 00:26:33.120
that
408
00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:40.820
means all that right there the pelvis is already changing direction as his arms
409
00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:41.240
are
410
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:46.360
setting that's that's a fair amount that's quite early but I'm not sure if you
411
00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:47.120
saw if
412
00:26:47.120 --> 00:26:55.780
I go back to that position that first frame right there you can see the pelvis
413
00:26:55.780 --> 00:26:57.280
is changing
414
00:26:57.280 --> 00:27:03.260
direction well before that so that would be the Jackson five move and kind of
415
00:27:03.260 --> 00:27:04.000
getting
416
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:13.570
the pelvis to initiate that change direction now if we look at the shallow
417
00:27:13.570 --> 00:27:14.720
pieces we'll
418
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:20.500
see a nice smooth shallowing here as well as a sign of shallowing in the trail
419
00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:21.000
wrist
420
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:27.720
we talked about that in the the trail form also pronating is a sign of going
421
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.160
into internal
422
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:38.040
rotation of the shoulder so you'll see that this golfer's got a pretty decent
423
00:27:38.040 --> 00:27:38.440
shallow
424
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:53.990
move good you could see that down there and then the motorcycle move we can
425
00:27:53.990 --> 00:27:54.640
look at the
426
00:27:54.640 --> 00:28:01.280
green line real quick alright he's got the motorcycle piece good if we look at
427
00:28:01.280 --> 00:28:01.800
the left
428
00:28:01.800 --> 00:28:07.580
tilt there's another I happen to pick two examples this time who don't do the
429
00:28:07.580 --> 00:28:08.240
best left
430
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:14.480
tilt but he gets more of the regaining flexion more from the forward bend than
431
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:15.440
from the side
432
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:20.750
tilt so he's he's kind of getting a little extra shallow body movements that
433
00:28:20.750 --> 00:28:21.400
could be
434
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:29.560
because he has a little bit more of the radial deviation so he's kind of he's
435
00:28:29.560 --> 00:28:31.160
not really
436
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:37.930
starting that unhinged quite as early as a lot of other golfers he's um so that
437
00:28:37.930 --> 00:28:38.400
creates
438
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:42.610
a steepening and he needs to shallow that out that's commonly done with the
439
00:28:42.610 --> 00:28:43.320
spine there
440
00:28:43.320 --> 00:28:49.560
okay if we jump into the downswing we saw though the wipe was going to be
441
00:28:49.560 --> 00:28:50.480
pretty good
442
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:54.960
looking from this perspective now we can just look in well where is he getting
443
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:55.200
the the
444
00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:03.360
wipe there's a little plateau with the left arm and no real wipe in the trail
445
00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:06.160
wrist so
446
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:11.000
if we look at it it's going to look on the lighter side as far as the wipe goes
447
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:12.040
it's
448
00:29:12.040 --> 00:29:17.560
not going to look like it has a really massive movement across the ball but it
449
00:29:17.560 --> 00:29:18.680
's he's doing
450
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:24.170
it more with that left arm than he is doing with the right arm then we've got
451
00:29:24.170 --> 00:29:24.640
the arm
452
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:31.810
extension piece which we get from the arm the elbow separation graph as well as
453
00:29:31.810 --> 00:29:32.240
the
454
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:37.240
elbow extension we can see both of those are straightening really nicely which
455
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:37.760
creates
456
00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:45.240
a pretty good looking arc with pattern over there so then if we look at the br
457
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:46.200
acing we
458
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:50.160
can see a pretty good plateau so even though though this golfer had some sway
459
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:50.840
off the ball
460
00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:59.480
that's a really good plateau there so that piece is bracing pretty well if we
461
00:29:59.480 --> 00:29:59.960
look at
462
00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:11.080
the kinematic sequence so kinematic sequence I would say he could improve his
463
00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:12.080
bracing because
464
00:30:12.080 --> 00:30:16.690
it's more kind of flatlined through impact now I did put this I did code this
465
00:30:16.690 --> 00:30:17.480
as a longer
466
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:28.850
hitter but I would say from the kinematic sequence bracing perspective it's not
467
00:30:28.850 --> 00:30:30.960
the best and
468
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:44.020
that could let's dig into explore why he might be not bracing quite as well so
469
00:30:44.020 --> 00:30:44.880
if we
470
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:52.560
look at let's go to impact look at the body real quick so I'm scanning to see
471
00:30:52.560 --> 00:30:53.440
what might
472
00:30:53.440 --> 00:31:01.280
be out of the ordinary he's a little late in his spine extension so that could
473
00:31:01.280 --> 00:31:01.720
relate
474
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:08.690
to the bracing pattern rotations look fine the side bends he's a little under
475
00:31:08.690 --> 00:31:09.640
side bent
476
00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:13.440
in terms of the spine that's a lot of side bend for the pelvis for that little
477
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:15.200
side bend
478
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:22.950
at impact so that could show up he's a little light if you remember with the
479
00:31:22.950 --> 00:31:24.480
last example
480
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:29.130
I talked about the upper body moving backward you know somewhere in that four
481
00:31:29.130 --> 00:31:29.920
or five even
482
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:37.750
up to six inches I think Rory's like eight and you'll see that with his bracing
483
00:31:37.750 --> 00:31:38.440
right
484
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:44.840
around there is the the most he's away from the target after impact so that's
485
00:31:44.840 --> 00:31:46.520
two inches
486
00:31:46.520 --> 00:31:54.940
and you can see that where he starts his bracing so he's only moving about two
487
00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:56.760
inches away so
488
00:31:56.760 --> 00:32:02.420
that's part of why you would see the arms have a little bit more speed through
489
00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:03.320
here because
490
00:32:03.320 --> 00:32:07.120
the the shoulder is basically going to be pulling it through when the upper
491
00:32:07.120 --> 00:32:08.840
body is not falling
492
00:32:08.840 --> 00:32:14.110
away so that's what a good source of where we're seeing his bracing kind of
493
00:32:14.110 --> 00:32:14.880
breaking
494
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:21.120
down so this is where I would always start with the investigation so what are
495
00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:21.560
we what
496
00:32:21.560 --> 00:32:28.600
problem are we trying to solve if it was relating more to say flat spot and
497
00:32:28.600 --> 00:32:30.440
consistency off the
498
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:41.580
tee or if he was having you know more of a kind of thin mispattern there's a
499
00:32:41.580 --> 00:32:41.800
little
500
00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:48.460
bit of this upper body is not hanging backward and so as a result the arms can
501
00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:50.000
't wipe forward
502
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:55.190
quite as much so that's where his two pieces kind of show up as we're scanning
503
00:32:55.190 --> 00:32:55.920
through
504
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:05.130
more in the bracing in wipe category supination looks good flexion of the wrist
505
00:33:05.130 --> 00:33:05.760
looks good
506
00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:12.000
timing of the or amount of ulnar deviation through the ball all looks good I
507
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:12.680
see a couple
508
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:18.040
questions coming in so I'll I'll check those before we move on to a couple am
509
00:33:18.040 --> 00:33:20.120
ateurs so
510
00:33:20.120 --> 00:33:28.160
Fred asking let's go to the chat is there a strong relationship between the
511
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:29.200
amount the
512
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:37.210
hands move from low to high and ball striking so here's the the challenge is on
513
00:33:37.210 --> 00:33:38.440
amm I don't
514
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:43.420
get the amount all I get is the speed so I can't really I don't know if there's
515
00:33:43.420 --> 00:33:44.480
a relationship
516
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:51.960
between the amount there's a small relationship between the speed it's just
517
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:52.960
more making sure
518
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.410
that it is going in that pattern rather than how much and how fast also is
519
00:33:58.410 --> 00:33:59.560
there a relationship
520
00:33:59.560 --> 00:34:07.750
between how low the hands move before the waist move below the waist and ball
521
00:34:07.750 --> 00:34:08.880
striking
522
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:14.420
again is the same thing I don't have the amount but you can reverse engineer it
523
00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:15.760
if the club
524
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:23.340
is a fixed length so where do I so the the club is a fixed length so that means
525
00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:24.160
if it's
526
00:34:24.160 --> 00:34:33.200
coming up into impact then the grip had to be lower on its in order for it to
527
00:34:33.200 --> 00:34:34.320
do so basically
528
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:39.200
I could have it in this position a lot of different ways I could have it go let
529
00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:39.480
's see
530
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:44.260
we'll put this as a marker I could go down into it I could go up into it I
531
00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:45.240
could rotate
532
00:34:45.240 --> 00:34:51.480
more into it there are lots of different ways I could get into that specific
533
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.280
position and
534
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:57.770
some of them will breed more consistency basically having a little bit more
535
00:34:57.770 --> 00:34:59.240
kind of that pattern
536
00:34:59.240 --> 00:35:05.020
instead of kind of going back that way or going down that way would tend to
537
00:35:05.020 --> 00:35:05.720
yield more
538
00:35:05.720 --> 00:35:12.170
consistent turf interaction second question after your book publication do now
539
00:35:12.170 --> 00:35:13.160
do you have
540
00:35:13.160 --> 00:35:19.050
any new discoveries that you would add slash any updates you would make remind
541
00:35:19.050 --> 00:35:20.040
let's I can
542
00:35:20.040 --> 00:35:26.280
talk a little bit about that at the at the end so when I get into the Q&A I'll
543
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:27.120
discuss
544
00:35:27.120 --> 00:35:33.490
that and basically what I'm working on with the content organization going on
545
00:35:33.490 --> 00:35:34.280
with the
546
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:44.340
site so let me jump back to let's look at a couple amateurs like I said the
547
00:35:44.340 --> 00:35:45.280
downswing
548
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:51.580
can take a little while to go through each one but once you get good at looking
549
00:35:51.580 --> 00:35:52.320
at these
550
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:57.320
you can usually kind of get the snapshot of a golfer in five minutes ten
551
00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:58.080
minutes or
552
00:35:58.080 --> 00:36:16.120
so okay so as this is loading up little background he's about a ten handicap
553
00:36:16.120 --> 00:36:16.440
longer
554
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:23.090
hitter so but not very good off the tee that was his main issue as a longer
555
00:36:23.090 --> 00:36:24.160
hitter he would
556
00:36:24.160 --> 00:36:32.660
often hit five irons off the tee let me just switch this so he was giving up a
557
00:36:32.660 --> 00:36:34.640
lot of his
558
00:36:34.640 --> 00:36:42.380
length advantage because of his poor driving I'll leave it there and not give
559
00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:43.800
any more details
560
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:48.800
into it all right so if we're jumping through well we can see Jackson five is
561
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:50.400
going to be
562
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:54.880
like that's changing direction well before anything would ever show up here so
563
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:55.400
we know
564
00:36:55.400 --> 00:37:00.540
that he's at least going lateral before rotational and he's got pretty good
565
00:37:00.540 --> 00:37:02.040
sequencing through
566
00:37:02.040 --> 00:37:13.080
there let's look at arm shallowing you can already see before I've zoomed in
567
00:37:13.080 --> 00:37:13.760
neither blue
568
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:21.120
line here is really going down there's maybe a little bit there but not a whole
569
00:37:21.120 --> 00:37:22.400
lot here
570
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.570
with the trail rest so that trail shoulder is definitely going into more of a
571
00:37:25.570 --> 00:37:26.160
steepening
572
00:37:26.160 --> 00:37:31.950
pattern so that's kind of caution flag number one especially if we're
573
00:37:31.950 --> 00:37:33.800
struggling with driver
574
00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:39.240
and the longer clubs getting a little steep makes a whole lot of sense so now
575
00:37:39.240 --> 00:37:40.720
we look at
576
00:37:40.720 --> 00:37:46.940
the wipe oh boy not a whole lot of wipe going on there's no real plateau so it
577
00:37:46.940 --> 00:37:47.520
's just kind
578
00:37:47.520 --> 00:37:51.510
of and this is a little separate but there's not a whole lot of change he just
579
00:37:51.510 --> 00:37:52.280
kind of locks
580
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:59.600
his arms in straight and then kind of straightens them on the way through if I
581
00:37:59.600 --> 00:38:00.160
'm just looking
582
00:38:00.160 --> 00:38:03.510
at this graph and already jumping ahead to arm extension well at least he has
583
00:38:03.510 --> 00:38:03.920
pretty
584
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:08.060
good arm extension on the way through that's probably part of why he's
585
00:38:08.060 --> 00:38:09.160
consistent with
586
00:38:09.160 --> 00:38:12.990
the other clubs but if he's too steep for the longer clubs that may be the
587
00:38:12.990 --> 00:38:13.600
problem that
588
00:38:13.600 --> 00:38:22.200
we're going to have to try to solve okay looking at the motorcycle nothing in
589
00:38:22.200 --> 00:38:23.000
the trail wrist
590
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:31.300
motorcycle it's limited in the lead wrist motorcycle it's a little late I mean
591
00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:31.680
there's
592
00:38:31.680 --> 00:38:40.890
some it's not it's not nothing but it's not great so so right now I'm thinking
593
00:38:40.890 --> 00:38:41.480
to myself
594
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:51.910
okay in transition really good sequencing or pretty good sequencing but now he
595
00:38:51.910 --> 00:38:52.800
's got
596
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.580
limited shallow he's got limited wipe he's got limited motorcycle I'm worried
597
00:38:57.580 --> 00:38:58.080
that this
598
00:38:58.080 --> 00:39:07.390
guy's got some arm training that we're going to have to address so just to let
599
00:39:07.390 --> 00:39:08.620
you guys
600
00:39:08.620 --> 00:39:18.520
see what this swing might look like and I see Fred asked another question so
601
00:39:18.520 --> 00:39:19.200
hopefully
602
00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:26.410
like Fred's question is from all the graphs which top 10 graphs lines you would
603
00:39:26.410 --> 00:39:27.140
refer to
604
00:39:27.140 --> 00:39:33.630
the most for analyzing any swing what I'm going through today is a lot of that
605
00:39:33.630 --> 00:39:34.460
process
606
00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:40.250
so how to kind of think through looking at a golf swing or all the different
607
00:39:40.250 --> 00:39:41.800
pieces I'm
608
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:47.790
I'm basically running through this checklist and then I'm relating that
609
00:39:47.790 --> 00:39:49.240
checklist to what
610
00:39:49.240 --> 00:39:55.480
their main core issues are so which graphs are most important depends are we
611
00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:56.100
trying to
612
00:39:56.100 --> 00:40:00.360
improve the driver are we trying to improve low point control are we trying to
613
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:00.880
improve
614
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:06.380
face control are we trying to increase speed what are we doing and then all the
615
00:40:06.380 --> 00:40:06.980
graphs
616
00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:12.230
just give us a little better insight there so right now I'm saying he's just
617
00:40:12.230 --> 00:40:12.820
kind of
618
00:40:12.820 --> 00:40:21.140
locking in his arms and he's not really using the arms very much for control or
619
00:40:21.140 --> 00:40:22.260
power he's
620
00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:25.090
just kind of like locking in his arms and that's a that's going to be a tough
621
00:40:25.090 --> 00:40:25.460
way for
622
00:40:25.460 --> 00:40:30.600
us to create some shallowness alright so now if we jump down let's look at
623
00:40:30.600 --> 00:40:31.820
where his delivery
624
00:40:31.820 --> 00:40:44.280
position is so you'll notice I'm a little so his delivery position is much
625
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:45.200
later than
626
00:40:45.200 --> 00:40:51.720
what we saw with both of those torquros so there's a little bit more of a cast
627
00:40:51.720 --> 00:40:52.560
pattern
628
00:40:52.560 --> 00:40:56.970
and a little bit less efficient energy transfer partly because of what he's
629
00:40:56.970 --> 00:40:57.840
doing with his
630
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:03.170
wrist so because he's not using his wrist he's actually reaching peak speed
631
00:41:03.170 --> 00:41:03.920
later where
632
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:09.120
you ideally want to reach peak speed as early as you can while still being able
633
00:41:09.120 --> 00:41:09.860
to transfer
634
00:41:09.860 --> 00:41:15.650
effectively all the way to impact if you peak too early then you'll your
635
00:41:15.650 --> 00:41:17.160
transfer will
636
00:41:17.160 --> 00:41:24.640
get damaged a little bit okay so then if we jump to the release aspect alright
637
00:41:24.640 --> 00:41:25.280
we don't
638
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:32.250
seem very much bracing either on the kinematics sequence or on that pelvis
639
00:41:32.250 --> 00:41:33.920
graph and that makes
640
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:38.410
sense because if he's not getting any wipe then you wouldn't be able to brace
641
00:41:38.410 --> 00:41:38.940
or else
642
00:41:38.940 --> 00:41:47.000
he'd hit it fat which this golfer was prone to so then if we look at the arc
643
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.140
width from
644
00:41:48.140 --> 00:41:56.150
a consistency standpoint that's a lot of trouble there very little flat spot
645
00:41:56.150 --> 00:41:56.280
you can
646
00:41:56.280 --> 00:42:01.170
see the you know from this face on view golfers would say man you have a good
647
00:42:01.170 --> 00:42:02.280
looking swing
648
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:05.820
I don't understand why it doesn't work because he doesn't really chicken wing
649
00:42:05.820 --> 00:42:06.340
and bend the
650
00:42:06.340 --> 00:42:14.130
arms in fact if anything he he locks them into place and just swings with his
651
00:42:14.130 --> 00:42:14.880
chest
652
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:19.190
we see very little bracing from the upper body we see very little bracing from
653
00:42:19.190 --> 00:42:19.720
the lower
654
00:42:19.720 --> 00:42:26.040
body so this golfer has more of kind of a slide or a lunge through the ball to
655
00:42:26.040 --> 00:42:26.820
control
656
00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:30.770
low point but that doesn't work very well especially comboed with steep arm
657
00:42:30.770 --> 00:42:31.400
movements
658
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:39.020
that we see here also if we jump down to the last three of the wrist he's got a
659
00:42:39.020 --> 00:42:39.340
little
660
00:42:39.340 --> 00:42:46.340
bit of increased you know motorcycle or flexion extension it impact but he has
661
00:42:46.340 --> 00:42:47.500
very little
662
00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:55.290
unhinged so that's also a steep and he's got very little supination remember I
663
00:42:55.290 --> 00:42:55.580
was saying
664
00:42:55.580 --> 00:43:02.950
120 degrees or so if we look at this top left graph he's going from let's say
665
00:43:02.950 --> 00:43:04.280
30 degrees
666
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:09.120
to 60 degrees so he's only got about 90 degrees of left forearm rotation that
667
00:43:09.120 --> 00:43:10.480
he's covering
668
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:21.650
that's not a whole lot so I this is a golfer who would I think would need to do
669
00:43:21.650 --> 00:43:22.040
a fair
670
00:43:22.040 --> 00:43:29.190
amount of arm training in order to reach that kind of next next level good news
671
00:43:29.190 --> 00:43:29.480
is they
672
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:35.110
already know how to create speed so the body movements are are pretty good
673
00:43:35.110 --> 00:43:36.120
there but they
674
00:43:36.120 --> 00:43:40.630
don't know how to transfer that speed and they don't know how to really kind of
675
00:43:40.630 --> 00:43:41.040
snap
676
00:43:41.040 --> 00:43:49.560
the whip with the forearms or or pull on the club more rotationally so that
677
00:43:49.560 --> 00:43:50.760
wipe and arm
678
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:55.960
motion is going to be a big piece of what this golfer needed to train all right
679
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:56.140
let's
680
00:43:56.140 --> 00:44:01.450
look at one more just so you can kind of again see how all these downswing
681
00:44:01.450 --> 00:44:08.560
pieces fit together
682
00:44:08.560 --> 00:44:16.120
but hopefully hopefully this is making sense and you're you're able to see kind
683
00:44:16.120 --> 00:44:16.800
of what
684
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:23.420
I'm going to look at before I pull it up just based on that little checklist we
685
00:44:23.420 --> 00:44:23.840
had
686
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:28.410
at the beginning of what to look at in the early phase of the downswing what to
687
00:44:28.410 --> 00:44:28.820
look
688
00:44:28.820 --> 00:44:34.070
at in the late phase and then potentially I would go back from there to the
689
00:44:34.070 --> 00:44:35.000
backswing
690
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:40.570
in order to kind of clean up or if there's something going on in the backswing
691
00:44:40.570 --> 00:44:41.200
that's
692
00:44:41.200 --> 00:44:44.360
preventing me from doing what I want in the downswing then I would start to
693
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:45.520
clean it up
694
00:44:45.520 --> 00:44:52.120
okay so now we've got this up let's look at the big pieces first so we'll just
695
00:44:52.120 --> 00:44:52.760
start
696
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:59.210
in the middle of the screen for is there a wipe not really how's the there's no
697
00:44:59.210 --> 00:44:59.720
wipe
698
00:44:59.720 --> 00:45:05.960
here is there arm extension he only gets it doesn't reach a greater it's
699
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:07.360
straightening
700
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:11.310
through impact but it doesn't reach a very straight position after impact and
701
00:45:11.310 --> 00:45:11.760
starts
702
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:16.970
bending quickly so this will have a chicken wing look to it the arc width isn't
703
00:45:16.970 --> 00:45:17.520
terrible
704
00:45:17.520 --> 00:45:22.800
so he's probably consistent but we knew that this golfer like just from those
705
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:24.160
couple pieces
706
00:45:24.160 --> 00:45:30.810
we might think that he's lacking in some speed let's see if we look at the
707
00:45:30.810 --> 00:45:32.840
Jackson five that
708
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:36.040
right there looks like it's changing direction pretty close to the top of the
709
00:45:36.040 --> 00:45:36.680
swing this is
710
00:45:36.680 --> 00:45:43.680
gonna be a photo finish here let's see and I actually don't know the answer but
711
00:45:43.680 --> 00:45:52.240
all right
712
00:45:52.240 --> 00:45:59.460
we may have looks like we got a winner so this frame right here and you can see
713
00:45:59.460 --> 00:46:00.120
I mean
714
00:46:00.120 --> 00:46:06.360
he's an older guy he's he's about a 12 handicap doesn't hit the ball a long way
715
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:06.960
here we can
716
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:13.780
see the lower body is changing direction rotationally right there and then it's
717
00:46:13.780 --> 00:46:15.240
not until this
718
00:46:15.240 --> 00:46:21.480
piece here that it starts to move laterally so this golfer barely has the lower
719
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:22.720
body leading
720
00:46:22.720 --> 00:46:30.850
but it's starting rotation before it starts to shift so this would be a golfer
721
00:46:30.850 --> 00:46:31.560
who I wouldn't
722
00:46:31.560 --> 00:46:35.880
say desperately but could really benefit from some Jackson five training you
723
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:36.760
know this looks
724
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:45.720
like more of your upper body kind of throw in chicken wing on the way through
725
00:46:45.720 --> 00:46:46.560
right you
726
00:46:46.560 --> 00:46:50.980
see that kind of all day long on the lesson tee this is just showing how those
727
00:46:50.980 --> 00:46:51.520
pieces
728
00:46:51.520 --> 00:47:01.470
fit so and if he's got decent motorcycle or club face control which it looks
729
00:47:01.470 --> 00:47:02.880
like he
730
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.660
does right so that's definitely more positive that's probably twenty degrees
731
00:47:07.660 --> 00:47:08.620
more positive
732
00:47:08.620 --> 00:47:17.830
at impact so he was zero or one point five and nine so he's got twelve degrees
733
00:47:17.830 --> 00:47:18.820
of trail
734
00:47:18.820 --> 00:47:23.660
wrist extension and sixteen degrees of lead wrist flexion change in the golf
735
00:47:23.660 --> 00:47:24.300
swing that's
736
00:47:24.300 --> 00:47:28.590
not too bad I could work with that so I'd probably start him working on some
737
00:47:28.590 --> 00:47:29.380
sequencing
738
00:47:29.380 --> 00:47:36.860
and some body movements but if we continue to go through let's look so arm
739
00:47:36.860 --> 00:47:38.340
shallowing
740
00:47:38.340 --> 00:47:48.980
just for fun let's pull up that lead shoulder lift so again here's a golfer
741
00:47:48.980 --> 00:47:49.500
where you'll
742
00:47:49.500 --> 00:47:56.500
see no real lift so pulling down steepening of the trail arm and then a late
743
00:47:56.500 --> 00:47:57.420
shallow
744
00:47:57.420 --> 00:48:02.000
you know it's pulling down in transition and then a late shallow kind of as he
745
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:02.620
gets into
746
00:48:02.620 --> 00:48:08.860
the release so steep arm movements pulling with the arms spinning before so no
747
00:48:08.860 --> 00:48:09.580
Jackson
748
00:48:09.580 --> 00:48:15.050
five this guy if I could combine those two amateurs we'd have a you know a very
749
00:48:15.050 --> 00:48:15.520
good
750
00:48:15.520 --> 00:48:19.630
competitive golfer because the other golfer had really good body awareness and
751
00:48:19.630 --> 00:48:20.220
sequence
752
00:48:20.220 --> 00:48:24.460
and not very good arm motion this golfer has good wrist motion I wouldn't say
753
00:48:24.460 --> 00:48:25.060
great arm
754
00:48:25.060 --> 00:48:30.460
motion but they're kind of polar opposites which is part of why I picked them
755
00:48:30.460 --> 00:48:31.060
for you
756
00:48:31.060 --> 00:48:37.870
okay so then if we jump through we already saw no wipe training if we or no
757
00:48:37.870 --> 00:48:39.460
white movement
758
00:48:39.460 --> 00:48:46.070
if we go to bracing plateau they're not a much not much of a recoil or bracing
759
00:48:46.070 --> 00:48:47.060
movement
760
00:48:47.060 --> 00:48:54.870
here and if we look at the kinematic sequence definitely not much tiny bit in
761
00:48:54.870 --> 00:48:55.940
the lower
762
00:48:55.940 --> 00:49:00.210
body not much bracing in the arms that makes sense if those arms are kind of
763
00:49:00.210 --> 00:49:00.940
bending on
764
00:49:00.940 --> 00:49:07.650
the way through so the that's one of the problems with the chicken wing pattern
765
00:49:07.650 --> 00:49:08.060
for
766
00:49:08.060 --> 00:49:15.490
bracing is it it tends to limit the chest turn limits the flat spot and so that
767
00:49:15.490 --> 00:49:16.220
's where
768
00:49:16.220 --> 00:49:27.460
we saw if we look at the arc width we saw that it was consistent but it's wider
769
00:49:27.460 --> 00:49:28.140
it impact
770
00:49:28.140 --> 00:49:31.410
than it so it's it doesn't have a real sharp peak so it's probably consistent
771
00:49:31.410 --> 00:49:32.340
but it's
772
00:49:32.340 --> 00:49:37.550
wider it set up than it was it impact so it's definitely not as flat as it
773
00:49:37.550 --> 00:49:38.500
could be because
774
00:49:38.500 --> 00:49:44.790
wider is going to have you know a slower change of a more shallow bottom and a
775
00:49:44.790 --> 00:49:45.980
slower change
776
00:49:45.980 --> 00:49:51.930
so it tends to be more consistent so chest turning bracing arm extension sup
777
00:49:51.930 --> 00:49:54.140
ination
778
00:49:54.140 --> 00:49:58.280
he's not too bad again his this guy's wrists aren't terrible he's got a good
779
00:49:58.280 --> 00:49:59.020
short game
780
00:49:59.020 --> 00:50:05.340
uses a lot of hands and wrists his flexion extension isn't bad his supination
781
00:50:05.340 --> 00:50:06.140
isn't too
782
00:50:06.140 --> 00:50:16.220
bad his ulnar deviation isn't great you can see the lead wrist peaks just after
783
00:50:16.220 --> 00:50:17.940
impact
784
00:50:17.940 --> 00:50:23.340
and the trail wrist is a little bit later which it normally will be but that's
785
00:50:23.340 --> 00:50:23.540
still
786
00:50:23.540 --> 00:50:29.330
not that that late so he's he's limited in the width component and he's really
787
00:50:29.330 --> 00:50:29.940
limited
788
00:50:29.940 --> 00:50:34.390
in the pivot component and we got there you know I would probably start with
789
00:50:34.390 --> 00:50:35.020
some Jackson
790
00:50:35.020 --> 00:50:39.920
5's 5 lower body sequence training to help improve this golfer's downswing
791
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:43.020
pattern yeah
792
00:50:43.020 --> 00:50:47.460
so a couple different pros couple different amateurs just wanted to see how you
793
00:50:47.460 --> 00:50:47.940
can kind
794
00:50:47.940 --> 00:50:51.510
of work through each of those different little pieces and then come up with
795
00:50:51.510 --> 00:50:52.220
well what's the
796
00:50:52.220 --> 00:50:57.340
biggest piece that will influence their overall pattern that they're trying to
797
00:50:57.340 --> 00:50:57.940
change and
798
00:50:57.940 --> 00:51:03.720
that depends a little bit on what they tell you during the interview that's why
799
00:51:03.720 --> 00:51:03.900
one of
800
00:51:03.900 --> 00:51:08.210
my pet peeves is when golfers submit their swings to the site and provide zero
801
00:51:08.210 --> 00:51:09.060
description
802
00:51:09.060 --> 00:51:15.460
I use that just as much as I use the data in deciding what we need to work on
803
00:51:15.460 --> 00:51:16.260
okay so
804
00:51:16.260 --> 00:51:29.170
let me go back to the powerpoint and let's jump down okay I knew that the 3d of
805
00:51:29.170 --> 00:51:29.820
the downswing
806
00:51:29.820 --> 00:51:34.010
would take longer than most of the 3d talks so hopefully that wasn't hopefully
807
00:51:34.010 --> 00:51:34.460
that was
808
00:51:34.460 --> 00:51:39.580
kind of fun to follow along and gave you some different ideas when you're
809
00:51:39.580 --> 00:51:40.900
looking at a golfer's
810
00:51:40.900 --> 00:51:46.730
downswing if you don't have 3d for all of those pieces because oftentimes I don
811
00:51:46.730 --> 00:51:47.140
't but
812
00:51:47.140 --> 00:51:52.260
I'm still kind of running through those the checklist in my head of just kind
813
00:51:52.260 --> 00:51:52.780
of like
814
00:51:52.780 --> 00:51:59.660
taking a snapshot of all these different pieces so taking a snapshot of all
815
00:51:59.660 --> 00:52:00.700
these and seeing
816
00:52:00.700 --> 00:52:05.210
which one is kind of the most the biggest outlier the most dysfunctional and
817
00:52:05.210 --> 00:52:06.340
seeing if that one
818
00:52:06.340 --> 00:52:13.680
relates to their overall pattern or their overall complaint okay so back to
819
00:52:13.680 --> 00:52:14.780
planning
820
00:52:14.780 --> 00:52:24.000
out the year this is where golf is one of the hardest sports to plan fitness
821
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:24.980
around
822
00:52:24.980 --> 00:52:36.350
partly because the activity itself takes a long period of time so I'll speak at
823
00:52:36.350 --> 00:52:36.900
it from
824
00:52:36.900 --> 00:52:41.890
a tour golfers perspective primarily so from a competitive golfer or tour gol
825
00:52:41.890 --> 00:52:42.700
fer they're
826
00:52:42.700 --> 00:52:48.540
practicing you know eight hours a day light would be six but it around eight
827
00:52:48.540 --> 00:52:49.220
hours a
828
00:52:49.220 --> 00:52:54.220
day so then you don't have a whole lot of time and it's it's kind of draining
829
00:52:54.220 --> 00:52:54.420
so you
830
00:52:54.420 --> 00:52:59.950
don't have a lot of physical capacity to then add them beating someone up so
831
00:52:59.950 --> 00:53:01.380
that's part
832
00:53:01.380 --> 00:53:09.000
of the reason why some of the corrective stuff like TPI Pilates yoga cars or RK
833
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:11.500
C stretching
834
00:53:11.500 --> 00:53:17.740
myofascial stretching I love that stuff DNS things that help kind of pump the
835
00:53:17.740 --> 00:53:17.980
system
836
00:53:17.980 --> 00:53:22.760
move like create balance in the muscles create balance in the joints that's
837
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:24.660
something that
838
00:53:24.660 --> 00:53:30.300
I think golfers need to do more days than not so as an evening program or
839
00:53:30.300 --> 00:53:31.620
something like
840
00:53:31.620 --> 00:53:38.140
that I think that it's important to do activation and corrective strength
841
00:53:38.140 --> 00:53:40.020
training the overall
842
00:53:40.020 --> 00:53:47.330
goal is to satisfy some of the goals or needs of being a human and as well as
843
00:53:47.330 --> 00:53:48.380
trying not
844
00:53:48.380 --> 00:53:52.750
to mess up their golf game typically the strength training component is one of
845
00:53:52.750 --> 00:53:54.620
the least important
846
00:53:54.620 --> 00:54:00.550
pieces for a tour golfer but ideally I'm trying to create balance from top to
847
00:54:00.550 --> 00:54:01.180
bottom
848
00:54:01.180 --> 00:54:06.770
left to right front to back while airing on maintaining mobility especially in
849
00:54:06.770 --> 00:54:07.500
the shoulders
850
00:54:07.500 --> 00:54:13.300
and hips so external rotation of the shoulders internal rotation of the hips so
851
00:54:13.300 --> 00:54:14.600
I'm very
852
00:54:14.600 --> 00:54:20.390
careful with competitive golfers about doing excessive let's miss Dorsey
853
00:54:20.390 --> 00:54:21.820
training so lats
854
00:54:21.820 --> 00:54:26.780
and and pull ups and things like that I'll typically get more of my lat
855
00:54:26.780 --> 00:54:27.940
training from
856
00:54:27.940 --> 00:54:32.820
something like a deadlift and less from something like a pull up if golf is
857
00:54:32.820 --> 00:54:36.740
their top priority
858
00:54:36.740 --> 00:54:42.370
so then in season golf I tend to focus on things like with my long term
859
00:54:42.370 --> 00:54:43.620
students I tend
860
00:54:43.620 --> 00:54:48.460
to focus on things that have already worked so it's easier to recall and
861
00:54:48.460 --> 00:54:49.460
remember things
862
00:54:49.460 --> 00:54:55.250
and train things and be like you know have the brain kind of bring up an old
863
00:54:55.250 --> 00:54:56.060
pattern or
864
00:54:56.060 --> 00:55:01.310
an old solution rather than investigate something new if they don't have a lot
865
00:55:01.310 --> 00:55:02.300
that's going
866
00:55:02.300 --> 00:55:08.070
wrong in their swing then I'd typically be working on posture tempo sequencing
867
00:55:08.070 --> 00:55:08.580
I've got
868
00:55:08.580 --> 00:55:13.360
three tempos there I like a lot of my golfers to be able to hit solid shots
869
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:14.220
with at least
870
00:55:14.220 --> 00:55:20.010
three different tempos in order to have it hold up on the course and then
871
00:55:20.010 --> 00:55:20.940
working on
872
00:55:20.940 --> 00:55:26.730
skills more so than technique when you're in season and trying to take whatever
873
00:55:26.730 --> 00:55:27.660
technique
874
00:55:27.660 --> 00:55:33.050
we work on and transfer it to an external cue or something feeling with what
875
00:55:33.050 --> 00:55:33.860
the club is
876
00:55:33.860 --> 00:55:41.020
doing or what the club face is doing but hopefully not feeling too much too
877
00:55:41.020 --> 00:55:42.260
specific in the
878
00:55:42.260 --> 00:55:48.130
body with new clients so when you get a new client during the golf season I'll
879
00:55:48.130 --> 00:55:48.900
usually
880
00:55:48.900 --> 00:55:55.680
focus on one or two big pieces and kind of sprinkle in some of the other work
881
00:55:55.680 --> 00:55:56.740
but I will
882
00:55:56.740 --> 00:56:05.230
tend to avoid like a lot of detailed instructions so I might not do a lot of
883
00:56:05.230 --> 00:56:07.900
slow motion training
884
00:56:07.900 --> 00:56:12.100
at this time I might not do a lot of the single arms unless they've already
885
00:56:12.100 --> 00:56:13.380
done that so many
886
00:56:13.380 --> 00:56:17.230
golfers who go through the single arms that becomes like something they can do
887
00:56:17.230 --> 00:56:17.700
to reset
888
00:56:17.700 --> 00:56:24.990
things really quickly so that goes back to this piece here and I'll basically
889
00:56:24.990 --> 00:56:25.820
what I would
890
00:56:25.820 --> 00:56:30.240
probably do is do like if I had to work on the release I would probably work on
891
00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:30.980
something
892
00:56:30.980 --> 00:56:36.280
in the follow through position or work on something kind of big and simple
893
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:37.220
rather than
894
00:56:37.220 --> 00:56:43.520
some of the details of exactly how each arm is moving I'll save that more for
895
00:56:43.520 --> 00:56:44.540
off season
896
00:56:44.540 --> 00:56:48.990
which could be like actual off season or just when you have a gap and you don't
897
00:56:48.990 --> 00:56:49.580
care too
898
00:56:49.580 --> 00:56:53.890
much about what's going on score wise if you're working on your short game and
899
00:56:53.890 --> 00:56:54.540
you want more
900
00:56:54.540 --> 00:56:57.540
practice with it so therefore it's okay if you're working on your full swing
901
00:56:57.540 --> 00:56:57.980
because
902
00:56:57.980 --> 00:57:07.520
you're gonna miss more greens that's a good time to do it as well so off season
903
00:57:07.520 --> 00:57:07.580
you'll
904
00:57:07.580 --> 00:57:11.140
see on the next slide there's a little joke here but the main goal of off
905
00:57:11.140 --> 00:57:11.980
season is kind
906
00:57:11.980 --> 00:57:19.130
of to repair and to build the capacity so then when you start throttling back
907
00:57:19.130 --> 00:57:19.820
during
908
00:57:19.820 --> 00:57:26.060
the end season you had a higher level that you throttled back from so I'll like
909
00:57:26.060 --> 00:57:26.280
this
910
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:30.400
is a good time to do a little bit of power training if they're not completely
911
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:31.100
exhausted
912
00:57:31.100 --> 00:57:38.400
and if they have some extra time so as in like if you only had two weeks of off
913
00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:38.740
season
914
00:57:38.740 --> 00:57:42.040
that's not the same as if you had six weeks of off season but if you can build
915
00:57:42.040 --> 00:57:42.460
up some
916
00:57:42.460 --> 00:57:50.600
power capacity then you can kind of keep it through the like so let's say you
917
00:57:50.600 --> 00:57:51.180
got to
918
00:57:51.180 --> 00:57:55.820
the point where you were doing explosive training maybe you're doing 10 sets of
919
00:57:55.820 --> 00:57:57.900
a power of a
920
00:57:57.900 --> 00:58:03.480
couple different power exercises well then what I might be able to do is during
921
00:58:03.480 --> 00:58:03.980
the end
922
00:58:03.980 --> 00:58:09.340
season I could do you know three or four sets instead of 10 sets and maintain a
923
00:58:09.340 --> 00:58:10.100
little bit
924
00:58:10.100 --> 00:58:17.550
of the power capability that can be both good for kind of slowly making sure
925
00:58:17.550 --> 00:58:18.620
you don't
926
00:58:18.620 --> 00:58:24.860
lose stuff as well as the psychology of feeling like you're still strong but I
927
00:58:24.860 --> 00:58:25.700
think that you
928
00:58:25.700 --> 00:58:30.280
almost have to do this stuff daily to try to repair or this is a great time to
929
00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:30.780
get kind
930
00:58:30.780 --> 00:58:37.930
of a lot of soft tissue work and then this is the what off season because now
931
00:58:37.930 --> 00:58:38.180
with the
932
00:58:38.180 --> 00:58:44.460
wrap around you barely have time to to work on stuff but in golf again this
933
00:58:44.460 --> 00:58:45.340
could be I
934
00:58:45.340 --> 00:58:49.140
don't have any tournaments so it's not that big a deal it doesn't have to be
935
00:58:49.140 --> 00:58:49.620
just hey
936
00:58:49.620 --> 00:58:53.690
it's cold outside and I can't play but this is where I'll typically work on
937
00:58:53.690 --> 00:58:54.420
neglected
938
00:58:54.420 --> 00:59:00.660
phases so I like my golfers to have worked on takeaway backswing transition
939
00:59:00.660 --> 00:59:01.740
release follow
940
00:59:01.740 --> 00:59:08.790
through like each piece at some point during their career so that they can um
941
00:59:08.790 --> 00:59:09.740
go back to
942
00:59:09.740 --> 00:59:13.920
stuff if it starts to get off the hardest thing is when a piece stops working
943
00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:14.460
and you've
944
00:59:14.460 --> 00:59:18.610
never worked on it like you've never trained a release and now you have a new
945
00:59:18.610 --> 00:59:20.020
release problem
946
00:59:20.020 --> 00:59:23.990
or you're you're swinging changed a little bit and now a release problem is
947
00:59:23.990 --> 00:59:24.700
showing up
948
00:59:24.700 --> 00:59:31.980
as a big issue this is where I will do a lot of kind of detailed slow motion
949
00:59:31.980 --> 00:59:33.500
training working
950
00:59:33.500 --> 00:59:38.690
on almost like the Tai Chi style swings working on some of the relationships of
951
00:59:38.690 --> 00:59:39.380
these key
952
00:59:39.380 --> 00:59:45.030
moves this is a good time to do rope training speed sticks if you like those
953
00:59:45.030 --> 00:59:46.380
power training
954
00:59:46.380 --> 00:59:52.620
etc and then the uncomfortable body focus this kind of fits in with the
955
00:59:52.620 --> 00:59:54.060
neglected phases
956
00:59:54.060 --> 00:59:59.620
but like if I have a golfer who's really body aware and they play like that
957
00:59:59.620 --> 01:00:00.860
first amateur
958
01:00:00.860 --> 01:00:05.150
who didn't have a whole lot of arm coordination but played pretty well with his
959
01:00:05.150 --> 01:00:06.860
body in season
960
01:00:06.860 --> 01:00:12.690
I'd probably work on the body because um that's like as in I would use the body
961
01:00:12.690 --> 01:00:13.500
to create my
962
01:00:13.500 --> 01:00:18.460
playing field so my swing thought for the day would most likely be body related
963
01:00:18.460 --> 01:00:19.020
in the off
964
01:00:19.020 --> 01:00:22.570
season I'd be like forget that we're gonna go after your arms I know it's gonna
965
01:00:22.570 --> 01:00:23.340
be tough but
966
01:00:23.340 --> 01:00:28.860
this is what we're gonna do to to build you long term so you go after the more
967
01:00:28.860 --> 01:00:29.660
uncomfortable body
968
01:00:29.660 --> 01:00:34.830
parts either the arms for arm dominant player or sorry for body dominant
969
01:00:34.830 --> 01:00:36.060
players or the body
970
01:00:36.060 --> 01:00:41.510
for arm dominant players and then resetting fundamentals so you know just kind
971
01:00:41.510 --> 01:00:42.860
of taking inventory
972
01:00:42.860 --> 01:00:46.780
using your data and identifying what are the big pieces to work on
973
01:00:48.860 --> 01:00:55.080
so I wanted that to be a little on the brief side because I knew that the 3D
974
01:00:55.080 --> 01:00:55.260
would be
975
01:00:55.260 --> 01:01:02.130
a little bit more I see I've got a few questions from Fred so we'll jump back
976
01:01:02.130 --> 01:01:02.700
over there
977
01:01:02.700 --> 01:01:09.970
and then we'll take a look at a couple swing submissions from coaches so let's
978
01:01:09.970 --> 01:01:11.420
go to the chat
979
01:01:14.140 --> 01:01:20.460
here we've got some questions from Fred so your your comment after your booking
980
01:01:20.460 --> 01:01:22.140
publication till now
981
01:01:22.140 --> 01:01:26.620
do you have any new discoveries you would add any updates you would make so the
982
01:01:26.620 --> 01:01:28.540
the one thing that
983
01:01:28.540 --> 01:01:35.900
I'm working on that I would have done differently is I would start with the the
984
01:01:35.900 --> 01:01:37.820
big picture as far as
985
01:01:37.820 --> 01:01:47.030
like okay um if you want to play well where's this sheet okay so let's see if
986
01:01:47.030 --> 01:01:47.900
you can see
987
01:01:47.900 --> 01:01:56.540
that kind of there um so essentially if you're monitoring your golf game you
988
01:01:56.540 --> 01:01:57.740
want to monitor
989
01:01:57.740 --> 01:02:04.060
the different skills so um let's say you're gonna monitor your t-shots you're
990
01:02:04.060 --> 01:02:04.780
gonna monitor
991
01:02:04.780 --> 01:02:08.260
your iron play maybe your long club your three wood your hybrid game your
992
01:02:08.260 --> 01:02:09.980
distance wedges your
993
01:02:09.980 --> 01:02:14.630
finesse wedges your bunker play um putting whether it's short putts long putts
994
01:02:14.630 --> 01:02:15.660
medium putts you're
995
01:02:15.660 --> 01:02:21.440
gonna monitor and roughly track those different categories if you have an issue
996
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:21.900
like let's say
997
01:02:21.900 --> 01:02:25.480
I'm not hitting enough greens I'm gonna look at the skills related to that
998
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:26.700
issue so am I not hitting
999
01:02:26.700 --> 01:02:30.180
greens because I'm driving it in trouble all the time or am I not hitting
1000
01:02:30.180 --> 01:02:31.740
greens because I'm not
1001
01:02:31.740 --> 01:02:38.530
striking my irons well once I started with that framework then I would layer in
1002
01:02:38.530 --> 01:02:39.100
okay I'm not
1003
01:02:39.100 --> 01:02:42.930
hitting greens because I'm not striking it solidly controlling the face
1004
01:02:42.930 --> 01:02:43.980
controlling the distance
1005
01:02:43.980 --> 01:02:48.420
whatever now I'm going to work on the technique related to those skills so the
1006
01:02:48.420 --> 01:02:50.380
big thing I would
1007
01:02:50.380 --> 01:02:56.660
would do differently in the next version of the book if I were to rewrite it is
1008
01:02:56.660 --> 01:02:57.820
I would start with
1009
01:02:57.820 --> 01:03:03.100
the skills and then layer to the technique but the goal of the book was really
1010
01:03:03.100 --> 01:03:04.300
to be an overview
1011
01:03:04.300 --> 01:03:10.540
of the stock tour swing not necessarily how you should learn golf um so I feel
1012
01:03:10.540 --> 01:03:11.660
like the book
1013
01:03:11.660 --> 01:03:18.220
highlights all the the big issues um I perhaps the one piece that I I would
1014
01:03:18.220 --> 01:03:19.020
have done differently
1015
01:03:19.020 --> 01:03:24.100
actually in the book not adding anything new is in the faults and fixes section
1016
01:03:24.100 --> 01:03:24.460
I wouldn't
1017
01:03:24.460 --> 01:03:31.180
have done it quite the same way I would have done them related more to um like
1018
01:03:31.180 --> 01:03:33.180
more to the skill so
1019
01:03:33.180 --> 01:03:37.400
I would have related the errors to okay let's say you have a low point control
1020
01:03:37.400 --> 01:03:38.460
problem instead of
1021
01:03:38.460 --> 01:03:41.460
saying let's say you have early extension that's the only piece I probably
1022
01:03:41.460 --> 01:03:42.540
would have done differently
1023
01:03:42.540 --> 01:03:48.850
but I have a lot of that on the site so I'm okay with it um let's see from all
1024
01:03:48.850 --> 01:03:50.300
the graphs
1025
01:03:50.300 --> 01:03:54.970
which 10 lines again that depends on which skill you're trying to solve um so
1026
01:03:54.970 --> 01:03:56.540
the the graphs that
1027
01:03:56.540 --> 01:04:01.400
I have up there are my most common 11 graphs that I look at that gives me a
1028
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:02.940
really good snapshot as
1029
01:04:02.940 --> 01:04:07.020
far as how a body's moving and what I've covered in all these webinars or how
1030
01:04:07.020 --> 01:04:07.820
to look through the
1031
01:04:07.820 --> 01:04:12.430
different graphs to see how they they fit into that tour swing model um from
1032
01:04:12.430 --> 01:04:14.780
your experience with
1033
01:04:14.780 --> 01:04:19.930
swing catalyst data do you compare pressure points from average amateurs I do
1034
01:04:19.930 --> 01:04:22.860
not um I think that
1035
01:04:22.860 --> 01:04:29.100
uh if you have the force this like I had pressure data our pressure plate is
1036
01:04:29.100 --> 01:04:30.140
actually not working
1037
01:04:30.140 --> 01:04:33.970
right now but I had pressure data um and I don't see a really strong
1038
01:04:33.970 --> 01:04:35.500
correlation between pressure
1039
01:04:35.500 --> 01:04:39.920
data um among skill levels so if you have force data it might be a little
1040
01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:41.660
different um but
1041
01:04:42.380 --> 01:04:48.940
I haven't seen anything that correlates the pressure data to the skills or the
1042
01:04:48.940 --> 01:04:49.260
force
1043
01:04:49.260 --> 01:04:53.080
data to the skills so like is there a pressure pattern that limits you from
1044
01:04:53.080 --> 01:04:53.820
getting low point
1045
01:04:53.820 --> 01:04:57.950
control um I don't know there are definitely release styles that limit you from
1046
01:04:57.950 --> 01:04:58.700
getting low
1047
01:04:58.700 --> 01:05:06.270
point control so I tend to go there um from the following what are the average
1048
01:05:06.270 --> 01:05:07.900
ranges for ball
1049
01:05:07.900 --> 01:05:19.070
strikers long hitters from p1 p4 p7 plus if possible um I I don't know that
1050
01:05:19.070 --> 01:05:20.300
that data
1051
01:05:20.300 --> 01:05:31.420
chess hips um so again the the arc width uh the the pattern um we covered that
1052
01:05:31.420 --> 01:05:33.420
in a another
1053
01:05:35.420 --> 01:05:42.380
class the club rate of closure um you won't so I've talked a lot with Johnson
1054
01:05:42.380 --> 01:05:43.100
Claire about this
1055
01:05:43.100 --> 01:05:47.880
and I'm pretty much on the same page with him you can't compare rate of closure
1056
01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:49.340
from one golfer to
1057
01:05:49.340 --> 01:05:55.140
another but you can compare it one golfer to themselves so like if a golfer has
1058
01:05:55.140 --> 01:05:55.900
a specific
1059
01:05:55.900 --> 01:06:01.020
rate of closure like let's say it's 1400 degrees per second um and then uh you
1060
01:06:01.020 --> 01:06:02.780
can compare well
1061
01:06:02.780 --> 01:06:07.560
what happened when they hit driver versus wedge you can compare um fade versus
1062
01:06:07.560 --> 01:06:08.940
draw and you can see
1063
01:06:08.940 --> 01:06:15.570
over time like um for example I was consulting with a coach who had a tour pro
1064
01:06:15.570 --> 01:06:16.780
who had like six
1065
01:06:16.780 --> 01:06:20.250
years of 3d data and all of a sudden the rate of closure numbers started
1066
01:06:20.250 --> 01:06:21.260
changing so we were
1067
01:06:21.260 --> 01:06:25.490
looking at why was that changing um but it's not like there's a the the
1068
01:06:25.490 --> 01:06:27.980
spectrum on that is so wide
1069
01:06:27.980 --> 01:06:34.480
that um I would say as long as you're with axial velocity as long as you're
1070
01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:36.780
above 600 and below
1071
01:06:36.780 --> 01:06:45.100
2200 which would be like 99.9 percent of tour pros then you're probably okay
1072
01:06:45.100 --> 01:06:46.060
but what you'll find is
1073
01:06:46.060 --> 01:06:50.360
most golfers are in that category it's not really the amount it's more the
1074
01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:51.420
pattern um which I talked
1075
01:06:51.420 --> 01:06:58.790
about in the um axial velocity piece on the on the webinar um and the the other
1076
01:06:58.790 --> 01:07:00.140
reason I
1077
01:07:00.140 --> 01:07:06.400
I don't have the I don't necessarily have averages um for a lot of those
1078
01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:10.460
movements because the the
1079
01:07:10.460 --> 01:07:16.020
movements will help um kind of explain their pattern and their steeps and shall
1080
01:07:16.020 --> 01:07:17.820
ows and and all
1081
01:07:17.820 --> 01:07:24.380
that stuff um but it doesn't necessarily um like it's not like if you gave me
1082
01:07:24.380 --> 01:07:25.580
any one piece of
1083
01:07:25.580 --> 01:07:30.370
those numbers I could tell you if they were um a long hitter or not you would
1084
01:07:30.370 --> 01:07:31.580
have to see the force
1085
01:07:31.580 --> 01:07:37.480
data you would have to see I mean um 3d gives you an example like a piece of
1086
01:07:37.480 --> 01:07:38.700
the puzzle that it
1087
01:07:38.700 --> 01:07:47.020
doesn't give you everything so I I wouldn't necessarily uh look for for that um
1088
01:07:47.020 --> 01:07:47.980
we don't have a metric
1089
01:07:47.980 --> 01:07:53.380
for arm depth um for the motorcycle movement again it's more of a pattern um in
1090
01:07:53.380 --> 01:07:54.220
fact you would
1091
01:07:54.220 --> 01:08:01.660
actually see uh like if you took a global population of every golfer um long
1092
01:08:01.660 --> 01:08:03.020
hitters would probably
1093
01:08:03.020 --> 01:08:09.260
have worse motorcycle movements than um than shorter hitters but at the tour
1094
01:08:09.260 --> 01:08:11.420
level uh the best of the
1095
01:08:11.420 --> 01:08:16.770
best to figure out how to do a good motorcycle movement and still hit it far um
1096
01:08:16.770 --> 01:08:17.900
but long drive
1097
01:08:17.900 --> 01:08:21.850
guys typically don't have the best motorcycle movement a lot of long hitting am
1098
01:08:21.850 --> 01:08:22.620
ateurs don't have
1099
01:08:22.620 --> 01:08:25.490
really good motorcycle movements so there would probably be an inverse
1100
01:08:25.490 --> 01:08:27.260
relationship there um
1101
01:08:28.780 --> 01:08:35.020
and then jackson five like like I showed again uh 90 uh filled filled freedom
1102
01:08:35.020 --> 01:08:35.820
found like one or two
1103
01:08:35.820 --> 01:08:41.030
in his database that had rotate before slide um so it's just it's a really
1104
01:08:41.030 --> 01:08:42.940
clear timing pattern
1105
01:08:42.940 --> 01:08:52.260
it's not you're looking for a specific amount okay so then we've got a few um
1106
01:08:52.260 --> 01:08:54.540
swing so here's
1107
01:08:54.540 --> 01:08:58.780
kind of the background on this first one so she's 13 years old forehandicap
1108
01:08:58.780 --> 01:08:59.580
played all summer with
1109
01:08:59.580 --> 01:09:04.530
some success we were working together during the autumn winter season um
1110
01:09:04.530 --> 01:09:05.900
thoughts on her move
1111
01:09:05.900 --> 01:09:12.300
through the ball and which drills in particular you would use so
1112
01:09:19.580 --> 01:09:23.740
yeah we'll zoom one out
1113
01:09:23.740 --> 01:09:28.060
okay
1114
01:09:28.060 --> 01:09:41.950
so this is where i'm still going to apply kind of the same thought process of
1115
01:09:41.950 --> 01:09:43.340
what we were doing with
1116
01:09:43.340 --> 01:09:52.550
the um what we were doing with the 3d but now i've just got to apply it from a
1117
01:09:52.550 --> 01:09:53.580
2d perspective
1118
01:09:53.580 --> 01:10:02.300
so i'll start with the the downswing and kind of running through
1119
01:10:03.740 --> 01:10:12.700
some of those pieces and then kind of organize them into a plan okay so in just
1120
01:10:12.700 --> 01:10:13.260
keeping with the
1121
01:10:13.260 --> 01:10:20.000
theme of today let's all right so if we're looking at sequencing so that
1122
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:24.940
appears to be the jackson
1123
01:10:24.940 --> 01:10:31.180
five and the lower body sequencing if i jump to where so lower body definitely
1124
01:10:31.180 --> 01:10:32.700
leading before the
1125
01:10:32.700 --> 01:10:39.590
arms there if we're looking at it from a shallow perspective there appears to
1126
01:10:39.590 --> 01:10:40.140
be some
1127
01:10:40.140 --> 01:10:44.470
shallowness especially in that right arm that looks pretty good um from a
1128
01:10:44.470 --> 01:10:45.900
motorcycle perspective
1129
01:10:45.900 --> 01:10:49.910
i'd check you know roughly the club position down through here it appears that
1130
01:10:49.910 --> 01:10:51.420
it's rotating so
1131
01:10:51.420 --> 01:10:57.190
that looks pretty good um staying in the posture left tilt looks like it's
1132
01:10:57.190 --> 01:10:58.060
pretty decent there
1133
01:10:58.060 --> 01:11:03.500
transition looks looks pretty good especially from the down the line
1134
01:11:03.500 --> 01:11:18.380
so from so now i'm looking at this with two different hats i'd say
1135
01:11:20.140 --> 01:11:28.460
there's a little bit more like early ad doctor and and kind of um anterior tilt
1136
01:11:28.460 --> 01:11:30.860
so i would in the
1137
01:11:30.860 --> 01:11:38.520
gym try and get the the core and the um the glutes a bit stronger um because it
1138
01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:39.420
looks like
1139
01:11:39.420 --> 01:11:42.960
it's more thigh quad dominant there as a power source so for a good player i'd
1140
01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:43.740
be a little worried
1141
01:11:43.740 --> 01:11:54.700
about that um oh gotcha
1142
01:11:54.700 --> 01:11:59.020
so here i'll let you see again
1143
01:11:59.020 --> 01:12:10.060
and then from the down the line view so again good shallowing pretty good
1144
01:12:10.060 --> 01:12:11.100
transition especially
1145
01:12:11.100 --> 01:12:17.180
from this down the line um see a lot of vertical movement down through the ball
1146
01:12:17.180 --> 01:12:24.740
but so here's where i was saying all right from the transition perspective that
1147
01:12:24.740 --> 01:12:25.660
first movement
1148
01:12:25.660 --> 01:12:31.440
there if you're looking at kind of the relationship of the the thighs combined
1149
01:12:31.440 --> 01:12:33.500
with the pelvis going
1150
01:12:33.500 --> 01:12:40.650
slightly anterior um and where she's pushing on her foot that looks like it's a
1151
01:12:40.650 --> 01:12:42.300
little bit more
1152
01:12:42.300 --> 01:12:48.220
of a ad doctor movement to try to um stabilize the pelvis to start having
1153
01:12:48.220 --> 01:12:49.020
something for the upper
1154
01:12:49.020 --> 01:12:53.800
body to rotate around and to uh to have a firm platform to be able to push
1155
01:12:53.800 --> 01:12:55.260
against the ground
1156
01:12:55.260 --> 01:13:01.070
so i'd be working on that you know core and glute activation from a fitness
1157
01:13:01.070 --> 01:13:02.220
perspective
1158
01:13:04.140 --> 01:13:12.750
so down through here i don't i agree with him i don't really love the um the
1159
01:13:12.750 --> 01:13:15.340
release through
1160
01:13:15.340 --> 01:13:21.580
there but the good news is through there like so this is a little bit more of
1161
01:13:21.580 --> 01:13:23.500
kind of a free flowing
1162
01:13:23.500 --> 01:13:28.620
wrist movement down through there than i like to see i would like to see a
1163
01:13:28.620 --> 01:13:30.220
little bit more hands
1164
01:13:30.220 --> 01:13:36.540
forward supination keeping that um trail wrist extension so a little bit more
1165
01:13:36.540 --> 01:13:37.260
white training
1166
01:13:37.260 --> 01:13:42.590
through there but a lot of golfers who would have that early throw would have a
1167
01:13:42.590 --> 01:13:43.500
really quick
1168
01:13:43.500 --> 01:13:49.740
rehinge and she does a pretty good job of keeping the body moving um with that
1169
01:13:49.740 --> 01:13:50.700
rehinge on the way
1170
01:13:50.700 --> 01:14:00.150
through so that piece is really good i'm i'm happy with that now part of the
1171
01:14:00.150 --> 01:14:03.180
wipe is getting that
1172
01:14:03.180 --> 01:14:08.950
right arm in front which comes from activation of the serratus which also uh
1173
01:14:08.950 --> 01:14:10.780
works with the obliques
1174
01:14:10.780 --> 01:14:17.480
but she doesn't really appear that she's using the obliques um down through
1175
01:14:17.480 --> 01:14:19.420
impact so the first
1176
01:14:19.420 --> 01:14:27.660
thing i would do before i tried to correct any of this is i would look at her
1177
01:14:27.660 --> 01:14:29.180
physically in the
1178
01:14:29.180 --> 01:14:33.740
gym and see how the obliques are firing see how the tva is firing see how the
1179
01:14:33.740 --> 01:14:35.660
glutes are firing
1180
01:14:35.660 --> 01:14:40.300
compare those to the quad and the ad doctors and just kind of see what her
1181
01:14:40.300 --> 01:14:41.340
strength pattern is
1182
01:14:41.340 --> 01:14:48.930
through her core um then once i knew that was cleared then i would probably
1183
01:14:48.930 --> 01:14:51.340
work on getting into
1184
01:14:51.340 --> 01:14:57.950
a follow through position with the spine you know closer to the original setup
1185
01:14:57.950 --> 01:15:01.260
angle um and then
1186
01:15:04.380 --> 01:15:11.580
and then once i worked on that she would probably hit them either fat or right
1187
01:15:11.580 --> 01:15:13.180
until we improve
1188
01:15:13.180 --> 01:15:19.110
the release just a little bit um so specifics i would i would test the the
1189
01:15:19.110 --> 01:15:21.580
lower abs and glutes
1190
01:15:21.580 --> 01:15:27.100
and the tva and the adductors and the quads and i would see why she's so quad
1191
01:15:27.100 --> 01:15:30.060
dominant um and then
1192
01:15:30.620 --> 01:15:35.030
i would once i knew that the the serratus and the oblique sorry i would also
1193
01:15:35.030 --> 01:15:36.220
test the obliques
1194
01:15:36.220 --> 01:15:42.490
once i knew that the the core was good to go um i would probably train follow
1195
01:15:42.490 --> 01:15:43.740
through position
1196
01:15:43.740 --> 01:15:51.760
um so i would do stuff working on the the body facing the target a little bit
1197
01:15:51.760 --> 01:15:53.340
more maybe even some
1198
01:15:53.340 --> 01:15:59.250
some right arm only shots feeling like uh that right arm stayed externally
1199
01:15:59.250 --> 01:16:00.540
rotated a little bit
1200
01:16:00.540 --> 01:16:06.030
longer um but i would definitely work through from follow through position back
1201
01:16:06.030 --> 01:16:09.900
to impact um so
1202
01:16:09.900 --> 01:16:15.680
yeah that's probably where i would start and then i would have to adjust the
1203
01:16:15.680 --> 01:16:16.700
plan based on what she's
1204
01:16:16.700 --> 01:16:20.870
doing but um there's a lot of really good things in this in this piece you got
1205
01:16:20.870 --> 01:16:22.220
some good good clay
1206
01:16:23.100 --> 01:16:30.780
to work with here uh okay so then second one
1207
01:16:30.780 --> 01:16:46.060
let's go all right we had a question here um looking for suggestions for the
1208
01:16:46.060 --> 01:16:46.700
student he's a
1209
01:16:46.700 --> 01:16:49.820
d1 golfer so good golfer when i first started working with him he had some
1210
01:16:49.820 --> 01:16:50.780
early extension and
1211
01:16:50.780 --> 01:16:55.420
stall flip pattern with hooks and blocks we were able to eliminate much of the
1212
01:16:55.420 --> 01:16:56.140
early extension
1213
01:16:56.140 --> 01:17:02.360
this summer and we we started working on shallowing move in transition the face
1214
01:17:02.360 --> 01:17:03.020
on and down the line
1215
01:17:03.020 --> 01:17:07.480
videos are from a lesson about a month ago the other view was taken by one of
1216
01:17:07.480 --> 01:17:08.540
his coaches and was
1217
01:17:08.540 --> 01:17:12.720
sent to me yesterday in the video it appears that his early extension is shown
1218
01:17:12.720 --> 01:17:14.540
up again currently his
1219
01:17:15.180 --> 01:17:28.800
big miss is a block all right so these are from the lesson so these were the
1220
01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:29.500
two and then we'll pull
1221
01:17:29.500 --> 01:17:38.940
up the other one um so looking at early extension you got the
1222
01:17:41.340 --> 01:17:46.300
butt line we'll just kind of take a look at a couple different pieces there
1223
01:17:46.300 --> 01:17:53.900
so yeah i would definitely not really put that in an early extension category
1224
01:17:53.900 --> 01:17:55.260
um
1225
01:17:55.260 --> 01:18:03.820
swing looks pretty decent like you said d1 golfer
1226
01:18:08.540 --> 01:18:14.940
and this is when we were swinging really well so we're just using that as our
1227
01:18:14.940 --> 01:18:16.460
current baseline
1228
01:18:16.460 --> 01:18:22.050
now we've got a down the line and we're just going to compare what's going on
1229
01:18:22.050 --> 01:18:22.620
here now
1230
01:18:22.620 --> 01:18:30.370
um camera angle is a little different which is going to be uh relevant to one
1231
01:18:30.370 --> 01:18:30.940
piece that we're
1232
01:18:30.940 --> 01:18:42.220
going to look at and all right let's do a little better job because this person
1233
01:18:42.220 --> 01:18:43.580
did not respect
1234
01:18:43.580 --> 01:18:51.340
using a tripod to make it easy on us um all right so this divot is pretty
1235
01:18:51.340 --> 01:18:52.540
vertical
1236
01:18:56.300 --> 01:18:58.380
okay so that'll just give us a reference
1237
01:18:58.380 --> 01:19:05.580
so if we go up to the top of the swing
1238
01:19:05.580 --> 01:19:18.140
so that moved about that much
1239
01:19:18.140 --> 01:19:22.620
so if we're comparing
1240
01:19:27.180 --> 01:19:34.930
it's it's possible that there's a little bit more um early extension uh but it
1241
01:19:34.930 --> 01:19:37.180
doesn't look
1242
01:19:37.180 --> 01:19:45.490
dramatic so then let's look at well what what might look different so if we get
1243
01:19:45.490 --> 01:19:46.300
it down
1244
01:19:46.300 --> 01:19:46.300
if we go back to this perspective over here it does a pretty good job on the
1245
01:19:46.300 --> 01:19:55.900
way through
1246
01:19:55.900 --> 01:20:02.370
of kind of rotating in his spine angle um and he does a decent job let's look
1247
01:20:02.370 --> 01:20:03.420
at the kind of the
1248
01:20:03.420 --> 01:20:11.870
shaft position there so as he's coming down now it looks like to me the arm
1249
01:20:11.870 --> 01:20:13.820
position is a little
1250
01:20:13.820 --> 01:20:22.630
bit steeper and as a result he's shallowing by kind of reverse thrust with his
1251
01:20:22.630 --> 01:20:23.420
chest
1252
01:20:24.620 --> 01:20:28.460
and possibly going into more side bend
1253
01:20:28.460 --> 01:20:38.860
but mostly that reverse thrust so he's falling into a little bit more of a
1254
01:20:38.860 --> 01:20:44.640
steep early so he's a little bit steep in the arm movements there and then he
1255
01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:45.660
falls into
1256
01:20:45.660 --> 01:20:52.700
shallow late and that shallow late is contributing to that um block pattern on
1257
01:20:52.700 --> 01:20:53.740
the way through
1258
01:20:54.780 --> 01:21:04.540
um now this is where like I would um it depends a lot about your relationship
1259
01:21:04.540 --> 01:21:07.580
with the coach who's
1260
01:21:07.580 --> 01:21:16.250
kind of monitoring him now um this is where like okay he he just went back to
1261
01:21:16.250 --> 01:21:18.380
school what what
1262
01:21:18.380 --> 01:21:18.380
change that might have contributed to this um either he's practicing something
1263
01:21:18.380 --> 01:21:24.060
different he took
1264
01:21:24.060 --> 01:21:29.510
a little layoff and uh you know maybe um I had one golfer who went to school
1265
01:21:29.510 --> 01:21:30.140
and they had
1266
01:21:30.140 --> 01:21:34.210
orientation for a few days and he kind of lost a new feel so if he had just
1267
01:21:34.210 --> 01:21:35.900
started working on the
1268
01:21:35.900 --> 01:21:42.140
shallowness of the arms then perhaps um like it wasn't settled enough and so
1269
01:21:42.140 --> 01:21:42.940
now he's losing that
1270
01:21:42.940 --> 01:21:46.080
and he's trying to recreate the feel and he's getting into more of a shallow
1271
01:21:46.080 --> 01:21:46.780
body position
1272
01:21:48.140 --> 01:21:54.540
that's kind of best case scenario uh worst case scenario is um you know it's
1273
01:21:54.540 --> 01:21:55.500
October you went to
1274
01:21:55.500 --> 01:22:00.680
school a month ago they started back up on the strength program and he's doing
1275
01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:01.820
a lot of lats and
1276
01:22:01.820 --> 01:22:05.880
quads and now he's getting into more of a thrust pattern but the trainer is
1277
01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:06.700
happy because he's
1278
01:22:06.700 --> 01:22:13.530
getting stronger um so that's one one piece of the puzzle that you always have
1279
01:22:13.530 --> 01:22:14.860
to manage which is
1280
01:22:17.020 --> 01:22:24.270
what they're doing training wise can influence these pivot things like going
1281
01:22:24.270 --> 01:22:25.660
shallow and pulling
1282
01:22:25.660 --> 01:22:32.530
with the arms um so it does make sense to me that he's getting more of the
1283
01:22:32.530 --> 01:22:36.620
block pattern um I would
1284
01:22:36.620 --> 01:22:44.300
it looks like he was doing a better job of not only shallowing with the arms
1285
01:22:44.300 --> 01:22:46.140
but unhinging it looks
1286
01:22:46.140 --> 01:22:52.860
like he's later with the unhinging or not hinging unhinging very much at all
1287
01:22:52.860 --> 01:22:54.140
and so therefore he's
1288
01:22:54.140 --> 01:22:59.440
creating the extra shallowness with the body um the unhinging is a hard one if
1289
01:22:59.440 --> 01:23:00.220
they've never
1290
01:23:00.220 --> 01:23:04.850
worked on it before to to put in during the season but the good news is this
1291
01:23:04.850 --> 01:23:05.980
should be the end of
1292
01:23:05.980 --> 01:23:11.130
kind of the fall season so that's where I would try to go technique wise is I'd
1293
01:23:11.130 --> 01:23:13.180
work on the unhinged
1294
01:23:13.180 --> 01:23:19.930
piece and then um if he did that and still side bend he'd kind of um drop kick
1295
01:23:19.930 --> 01:23:21.100
things a little bit
1296
01:23:21.100 --> 01:23:29.360
so that would force him to get the path a little bit less into out um which is
1297
01:23:29.360 --> 01:23:32.140
part of his block
1298
01:23:32.140 --> 01:23:37.980
pattern um it would also by unhinging it would encourage a little bit more of
1299
01:23:37.980 --> 01:23:39.180
the supination on
1300
01:23:39.180 --> 01:23:44.460
the way through which would also um potentially help with the the block pattern
1301
01:23:44.460 --> 01:23:46.460
but this is where
1302
01:23:46.460 --> 01:23:51.940
I'm a little concerned that part of the influence is coming from the gym
1303
01:23:51.940 --> 01:23:53.900
program and that can be
1304
01:23:53.900 --> 01:24:03.470
really hard on D1 golfers um I I've seen that a number of times uh but if it's
1305
01:24:03.470 --> 01:24:04.940
just a swing thing
1306
01:24:04.940 --> 01:24:08.460
that's kind of the piece that I would be looking for is it looks like he's lost
1307
01:24:08.460 --> 01:24:13.560
some of that uh shallowness it doesn't look as dramatic because of the
1308
01:24:13.560 --> 01:24:15.420
different camera angles
1309
01:24:15.420 --> 01:24:22.060
but if you had the same camera angle um then the the relative height of the
1310
01:24:22.060 --> 01:24:23.100
club compared to the
1311
01:24:23.100 --> 01:24:29.470
head would look a lot more dramatic it would look steeper you have them working
1312
01:24:29.470 --> 01:24:30.620
on the owner
1313
01:24:30.620 --> 01:24:37.020
deviation drill um perfect that's the direction that I would be going um and
1314
01:24:37.020 --> 01:24:38.140
when he does that
1315
01:24:38.140 --> 01:24:44.390
owner deviation drill does it improve the the block does it you know change the
1316
01:24:44.390 --> 01:24:45.660
start line does it
1317
01:24:45.660 --> 01:24:50.500
create a curve does he need to do owner deviation as well as a little bit of
1318
01:24:50.500 --> 01:24:52.700
supination um like
1319
01:24:52.700 --> 01:24:57.190
basically is it is it a block because the path is too much into out or is it a
1320
01:24:57.190 --> 01:24:58.060
block because the
1321
01:24:58.060 --> 01:25:02.220
club face is getting left open
1322
01:25:28.060 --> 01:25:51.820
and I'm just hoping that ed's typing up a little explanation separate from
1323
01:25:54.940 --> 01:25:58.780
like because I think owner deviation
1324
01:25:58.780 --> 01:26:04.700
okay good so you were mostly just looking for confirmation that the owner
1325
01:26:04.700 --> 01:26:05.740
deviation is in the
1326
01:26:05.740 --> 01:26:09.330
right ballpark that's exactly the first thing I would go after especially if he
1327
01:26:09.330 --> 01:26:10.140
's already worked
1328
01:26:10.140 --> 01:26:14.630
on it before um it looks like he was doing a better job of it here um and he's
1329
01:26:14.630 --> 01:26:15.580
pulling down a
1330
01:26:15.580 --> 01:26:20.950
little bit more um over here so again I would investigate the I would
1331
01:26:20.950 --> 01:26:22.860
investigate what's going
1332
01:26:22.860 --> 01:26:26.790
on with his fitness program um but I think you're in the right ballpark as far
1333
01:26:26.790 --> 01:26:26.940
as
1334
01:26:26.940 --> 01:26:31.180
what you need to do to rebalance the swing
