P5.5 to P8 - Release

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.800
Alright coaches, we made it to the release. This is probably my favorite

2
00:00:05.800 --> 00:00:12.720
general topic when it relates to the golf swing. If I had Jim Hardy kind of

3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.120
stole the title for the book but if I was gonna write another book I would

4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:20.520
probably talk all about matching pieces especially during the release. So in

5
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:20.600
this

6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.560
presentation we're gonna cover P5.5 or delivery position where we left off at

7
00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:31.040
the end of transition. We're going to go from delivery position until follow

8
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:35.520
through position or P8 when the shafts parallel in the follow through. So we'll

9
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.760
talk about arms versus body, coasting or bracing like bracing strategies so how

10
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:48.360
someone goes normal and and how they kind of post up the path contribution. So

11
00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:53.440
steeps and shallows, wide and narrow, low point forward, low point back, all

12
00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:54.760
those

13
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:59.160
considerations and then how you control the face whether with more with

14
00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:06.000
shaft irritation or more with in-plane movement or the flip. Okay so just like

15
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.400
the last section we're analyzing movement the same way. We're looking at

16
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.710
we're gonna scrub back and forth and look at what's moving and what's not. We

17
00:01:15.710 --> 00:01:15.840
're

18
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.280
gonna look for fixed point. I'm gonna build on those a little bit more. We'll

19
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:28.760
talk about the foot, the pelvis, all the key areas. Think relationally not just

20
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:28.960
in

21
00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:34.680
terms of the specific body parts that are going on but what should be happening

22
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:41.000
during this phase of the swing. So we're gonna talk about what might be

23
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:46.620
going on with a number of different case studies or release. As always when we

24
00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:46.720
're

25
00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:51.600
looking at the movement patterns you're looking for the stabilizers to do their

26
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:57.400
job and the movers to their to do their job. Lever arms is more of a

27
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:03.880
transition thing but we will talk about a tiny bit during the bracing. So which

28
00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:10.800
swing phase goal during the release it's primarily about power or sorry it's

29
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.280
primarily about path and face. So most golfers are trying to create solid

30
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.840
contact but you will find that some golfers have a a hit impulse or they

31
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.320
have more of a fear of not hitting it far enough and so that's where power

32
00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:32.520
definitely comes into play. What gets loaded gets unloaded is more of a

33
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:37.080
backswing to transition. So this is a little less relevant but we're gonna

34
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.480
connect with work the pattern backwards. We're gonna look back at transition

35
00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:41.680
and

36
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:47.480
try to understand why a student might be doing what they're doing as it relates

37
00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:52.200
to the release. So those will be the big ones we're gonna cover in today's

38
00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:59.620
presentation. So just a quick recap P1 to 4 we had some specific checkpoints. I

39
00:02:59.620 --> 00:02:59.800
'm

40
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.520
not gonna go into too much detail because otherwise this presentation is

41
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.680
gonna get pretty long but basically we're shifting pressure we're moving the

42
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.680
hand path we're creating a length of backswing we're loading specific muscles

43
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:19.320
and then during transition we are trying to create some force in that lead foot

44
00:03:19.320 --> 00:03:24.200
some speed in the handle and we're trying to start lining things up both

45
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:29.880
from a face perspective or sorry from a swing plane perspective from a low

46
00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:34.200
point perspective looking at that impact line we'll talk about and from a club

47
00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:41.840
face perspective. So if you remember from the last one our goal was all these

48
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:47.440
things the high lead foot pressure the grip speed getting the shaft underneath

49
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:52.560
the hand path start squaring the face we're gonna dig into some of these ideas

50
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.520
more as we move further down the swing. So if you remember there were a handful

51
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:04.730
of movement goals here in transition we had the left side crunch the arm

52
00:04:04.730 --> 00:04:05.000
loading

53
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.760
the lower body doing the squat end turn or the lower body applying that max

54
00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:11.000
lead

55
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:17.840
foot pressure and then path related things such as shallow arms and turning

56
00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:22.240
the shoulders versus turning the spine. These are gonna show up much at a

57
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:22.440
higher

58
00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:28.040
level while we're looking at the release. Now let's jump into the release so

59
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:33.240
primarily is where we're looking from about shaft 45 degrees somewhere around

60
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:38.400
here until shaft parallel in the follow through. So it goes from this late

61
00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:44.360
transition or even a little past this where again we're looking at some of the

62
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:50.160
relationships of where the body is and where the arms are and then this is a

63
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:51.080
key

64
00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:55.800
we talked about that other position in the last webinar so this is a really key

65
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:02.840
downswing checkpoint. So from this face-on view this is where I look at this

66
00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:03.240
lag

67
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:07.180
position and basically are the hands in front of the shoulder or are they

68
00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:07.560
behind

69
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:13.520
the shoulder. If they're behind the shoulder right so if compared to the

70
00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:17.400
shoulder joint they're more back here that's usually going to be accompanied

71
00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:22.600
by some poor trail shoulder blade mechanics or the arm going into more

72
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:28.160
internal rotation instead of external rotation. That can also happen if I'm

73
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.280
doing too much with the wrist too early. So someone like a Jim Fürich who

74
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:33.560
still

75
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.320
gets this who gets that arm way behind still gets into a good position where

76
00:05:37.320 --> 00:05:43.960
the wrist is in front of the shoulder that sets up being able to get into a

77
00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:50.400
better shaft lean impact position so a little bit better compression. The lead

78
00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:55.160
shoulder to hip line we'll look at coming very quickly and then we're

79
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.720
always kind of looking at this blend of how much of my turning versus in this

80
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:04.280
case extending more from the legs and hips. I don't want to see a ton of

81
00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:09.320
elevation from the upper body but you do want to see the legs straightening as

82
00:06:09.320 --> 00:06:15.240
the arms. Right around here is where I like to see the the legs straightening

83
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.760
they'll start right around delivery position but you don't want to see the

84
00:06:19.760 --> 00:06:27.880
legs diving down like hard at this point. And then from the down the line we're

85
00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:32.480
always looking at this path checkpoint we're looking at how much body rotation

86
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:37.800
we have. This is a common place where golfers who have more of a like shoulder

87
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:42.800
pull or scapular pull will start you'll start to see the shoulders working

88
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:48.880
more around the spine and the spine rotation stopping. This is a great place

89
00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:54.080
to check the club face compared to the path. This is a good place to look at

90
00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:03.280
spine angle. Looking at P7 or the impact line which is P7.1 you know just past

91
00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:08.400
the MAC line as some call it is basically looking at the vertical

92
00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:15.680
alignment of the shoulder, hip, hands and leg. So just past impact with the

93
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.000
with

94
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.000
the iron you'll want to see all of those pretty much in line with the driver

95
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:20.280
you'll

96
00:07:20.280 --> 00:07:28.160
see the hip and the shaft pretty close to in line. So this is the like the key

97
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:35.240
for key place for looking at axis tilt. You can relate that to arm bend and

98
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:41.460
shoulder height. Again the trail elbow to hip relationship is pretty important

99
00:07:41.460 --> 00:07:42.480
so

100
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:47.280
this is a place where I like to see the white happening. I like to see the the

101
00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:53.720
elbow working slightly across so as they're coming down from this delivery

102
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.200
position I don't like to see that arm staying in the same place. I want to see

103
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:03.280
it drifting across the body even though the body's rotating. So this trail

104
00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:03.760
elbow

105
00:08:03.760 --> 00:08:10.880
to hip you'll start to see a relationship of better ball strikers having some

106
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:16.280
visible appearance of the hip on the other side of the elbow. Okay and then

107
00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:21.560
from the down the line looking at the forearm plane to shaft plane so basically

108
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:27.160
looking at this line right here that's a good place to look at ulnar

109
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:35.160
deviation. So if like we'll see in one of the case studies if this is too low

110
00:08:35.160 --> 00:08:38.800
then that's a good sign that there wasn't any ulnar deviation and so they'll

111
00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:45.400
end up kind of getting it more in line with a lot of rotation instead of the

112
00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:51.920
ulnar deviation. Lead arm to trail is looking at this space here so you know

113
00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:56.320
you'll see a lot of your more upper body dominant swings where you can't see

114
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.200
that left arm you know if I'm facing this way I want to see that left form

115
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.000
above the right still at impact. How much depends a little bit on how much body

116
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:12.360
rotation how much side bend but I want to see it at least a little bit above

117
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:12.400
and

118
00:09:12.400 --> 00:09:17.880
then body rotation you know the classic can I see part of the left

119
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:23.880
shoulder can I see both cheeks you know we're looking for minimum 30 degrees

120
00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:28.000
but somewhere in the 45 degree pelvis rotation 30 degree chest rotation this

121
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:32.520
is kind of a good view for being able to see those relationships. And then

122
00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:38.520
looking at follow-through we'll do a whole shorter webinar just looking at

123
00:09:38.520 --> 00:09:43.880
this position because I think it's so key but this is a good place to check in

124
00:09:43.880 --> 00:09:50.520
we'll move a couple of these so we can see the hands this is a good place to

125
00:09:50.520 --> 00:09:56.680
check in on the elbow extension we'll talk about the supination so I can I see

126
00:09:56.680 --> 00:10:02.960
the glove hand underneath the trail hand ulnar deviation how well is the club

127
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:07.280
still in line with the forearms bracing position so looking at you know knee

128
00:10:07.280 --> 00:10:13.480
buckles and sags or upper body lunging forward can be a shoulder my shoulder

129
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:17.680
struggling elbow bending all those can be bracing strategies and then still

130
00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:22.800
looking at axis tilt so is the upper body past the lower body from the down

131
00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:26.560
the line we can see if we stayed in our spine angle or look at this shoulder

132
00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:35.000
tilt this is the the second piece of the club checkpoint so the first one

133
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.800
looking

134
00:10:35.800 --> 00:10:40.960
here where is the club head compared to the hands slightly inside is neutral in

135
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.880
line with the hands is a little outside in and then well inside would be more

136
00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:49.520
inside out so this second piece would be the more the club is out in this space

137
00:10:49.520 --> 00:10:54.040
the more it would be inside out the more that the club exits underneath the

138
00:10:54.040 --> 00:11:00.520
hands that would be more outside in and then you can look at the trail leg and

139
00:11:00.520 --> 00:11:04.760
where the where some of the body rotation is coming from you can look at the

140
00:11:04.760 --> 00:11:09.040
trail shoulder connection you can look at the lead shoulder pull all these

141
00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:14.720
things give a good sense or good idea okay so the overall goal I've got a

142
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.360
handful

143
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:21.680
of points here they're not necessarily in the order of importance but more

144
00:11:21.680 --> 00:11:28.160
just kind of like a quick check of how I look at it so looking at stability in

145
00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:33.920
the pelvis slide looking at the elbow separation or arm connection or the

146
00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:40.240
elbows getting like or the elbows getting closer together or further apart that

147
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:47.080
was one of the kind of initial things that I saw a lot on 3D was that golfers

148
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.600
golfers with a lot of the releases I like their elbows would get three four

149
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:56.600
inches closer together between impact and follow through where a lot of the

150
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:02.160
amateurs they were actually getting wider or further apart looking for the

151
00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:08.040
the wrist to be wherever they were it set up being more extended this way

152
00:12:08.040 --> 00:12:15.000
somewhere in the 25 30 degrees for there will be a dominant normal force

153
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:21.840
unavoidably just because of how the club is gonna be swinging the the goal is

154
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:26.680
looking at where is that normal force being absorbed so am I doing it more

155
00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:30.320
from the body am I doing it from the shoulders am I doing it from the elbows

156
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:35.840
am I doing it from the wrists like what what is creating that normal force

157
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:41.120
that's my bracing idea okay then looking at shaft lean versus no shaft lean or

158
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:45.920
again looking at that impact line looking at those path checkpoints and then

159
00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:46.280
low

160
00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:54.640
point and depth so I'd like to you know discuss with golfers who are having

161
00:12:54.640 --> 00:12:54.800
more

162
00:12:54.800 --> 00:13:00.240
contact issues kind of the location of the center of their swing and how deep

163
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:06.580
it might be going all right so now we'll jump into our amateur cluster so we

164
00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:07.200
got

165
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:14.480
the knees and arms guy right so now here's where we saw some little

166
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:21.480
indications throughout the swing but now if we look at the release pattern we

167
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:29.680
can see things that kind of jump out this trail elbow going into more of this

168
00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:35.720
internal rotation you can see the pit of the elbow disappear and right or

169
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.960
starting right around here that elbow is kind of hanging out more on the

170
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.400
backside of its body his body we would if we saw it from down the line we would

171
00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:51.280
see the space increase which we'll see some others in addition if we take it

172
00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:55.800
all the way to here we see there's very little axis tilt you know if we looked

173
00:13:55.800 --> 00:14:05.080
at this let's say impact line you'll see that as we go through more and more

174
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.400
spaces appearing from the pelvis so the hip joint is actually still behind the

175
00:14:11.400 --> 00:14:19.520
golf ball so very little axis tilt and as we kind of scrub back and forth we

176
00:14:19.520 --> 00:14:19.760
can

177
00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:26.440
see the lower body is acting more for balance and kind of absorption where

178
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:32.600
it's more of a shoulder girdle you know left shoulder really pulling right

179
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:39.720
shoulder pushing in order to swing the club past as a result you can see very

180
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.830
little flat spot the the club has blurry because of the camera in the frame

181
00:14:43.830 --> 00:14:44.040
rate

182
00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:49.240
but you can see the club coming up off the ground pretty quickly not giving us

183
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:56.720
a whole lot of margin of error all right so mr. happy feet there there are some

184
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.960
good things going on we'll see it especially from this down the line that

185
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:07.200
there's a lot I would consider this almost more of like a wedge style release

186
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:13.440
pattern where there's definitely some elbow separation going on meaning you

187
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.640
can see if we're looking at the distance between the elbows from there to there

188
00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:23.800
it's getting wider that left shoulder is pulling around his body you'll see

189
00:15:23.800 --> 00:15:28.120
there's a lot of trail arm connection and the whole body kind of comes through

190
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:36.120
together if we're looking at the impact line we can see upper body's back hands

191
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:41.400
are back wrists if we're comparing where they were it set up to impact are very

192
00:15:41.400 --> 00:15:46.760
similar in terms of it's not more flex than extended it's pretty close to the

193
00:15:46.760 --> 00:15:53.270
same all that's pretty solid for wedge but that's gonna limit our ability to

194
00:15:53.270 --> 00:15:53.400
get

195
00:15:53.400 --> 00:15:59.680
shaft lean that's gonna limit our ability to hit it high enough on the face but

196
00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:04.320
perhaps some of that is because this guy looks like he practices off of some

197
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:13.640
quite thick fairway okay so from the down the line we'll see through here

198
00:16:13.640 --> 00:16:18.680
there's very little arm shallowing like the the arms are pretty much the club

199
00:16:18.680 --> 00:16:23.600
head is almost catching up with the chest so if he had a lot of body

200
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:28.360
rotation and the arms were here body rotation would move the club this way

201
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:34.200
on the screen and so that wouldn't match up he would be too steep so part of

202
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:34.280
the

203
00:16:34.280 --> 00:16:43.280
reason why he has this low body rotation is to help him accommodate for this

204
00:16:43.280 --> 00:16:49.120
kind of arm dominant release and now if we look at this position here we can

205
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.000
see

206
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.840
there's not a lot of ulnar deviation especially in that lead wrist and

207
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:59.160
timing wise that would have happened right around here if we had more of that

208
00:16:59.160 --> 00:17:02.920
ulnar deviation the club would be coming down this way so then his body could

209
00:17:02.920 --> 00:17:08.000
get more open the other place that you can check and look for that ulnar

210
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:14.880
deviation is here and you can see there's a decent angle there so not a ton of

211
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:26.480
ulnar deviation also as he comes through that piece isn't too bad but if we're

212
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:32.000
looking at okay matching some of these pieces if he was gonna have more body

213
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:37.840
rotation that would create more arm bend arm bend would narrow things so he

214
00:17:37.840 --> 00:17:42.040
would have to they would that would also steepen things so he would shallow it

215
00:17:42.040 --> 00:17:47.400
out by getting the ulnar deviation and the hands more up that would also

216
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:48.280
because

217
00:17:48.280 --> 00:17:54.620
the way the wrist work that would move the hands more up and forward but that

218
00:17:54.620 --> 00:17:54.880
as

219
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:59.320
we can see that would take a couple changes he would have to have more

220
00:17:59.320 --> 00:18:06.440
spine rotation so right now because he tends to really kind of pull with the

221
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:13.560
shoulders on the way through in concert with straightening his legs that might

222
00:18:13.560 --> 00:18:21.040
be a tricky pattern for him to work out all at once I would probably work on

223
00:18:21.040 --> 00:18:26.960
some arm shallowing first and then add the body rotation to avoid hitting it

224
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:37.400
that okay so now we got this overswing pattern if we come on down we'll see

225
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:42.720
pretty big-time trail elbow stuck behind the body going more into internal

226
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:49.680
rotation never even fully gets straightening but it's much more internal

227
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:58.360
rotation this is this puts the low point behind and then he balances that by

228
00:18:58.360 --> 00:19:05.680
having a fair amount of lower body slide so getting the lower body further

229
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:14.480
past the the rest of the body to help move that low point there's not much

230
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:21.040
vertical action happening in the his golf swing it's much more kind of sliding

231
00:19:21.040 --> 00:19:27.280
towards the target you can see the twist and the creases created in the in the

232
00:19:27.280 --> 00:19:33.320
yoga mati setting off of oftentimes that slide move is to get the low point far

233
00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:39.360
enough forward to not hit it fat so you oftentimes see if you don't have a lot

234
00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:46.440
of verticals you usually don't have a lot of wipe because if you if your if

235
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:52.160
your arms are in front and then you had no verticals you'd be very steep you

236
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.240
would come into it with a massive amount of shaft lean and angle of attack or

237
00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:57.800
the

238
00:19:57.800 --> 00:20:01.920
other way would be if your arms are more behind you like that and you went

239
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:06.920
vertical you'd hit it six inches fat so this is a common pattern that you'll

240
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:14.960
typically see late leg drive very little vertical you'll see with this

241
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:22.360
particular golfer where the leg is driving in that way that's more of a

242
00:20:22.360 --> 00:20:30.360
knee or quad driven activity so you see very little extension of the hip again

243
00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:35.560
the extension of the hip requires so the extension of the hip would work better

244
00:20:35.560 --> 00:20:39.760
with core rotation the core rotation would work better with the arm more in

245
00:20:39.760 --> 00:20:47.560
front and the arm more in front would compliment or work better with some

246
00:20:47.560 --> 00:20:58.080
side bend that whole kind of cluster of no side bend no hip extension no elbow

247
00:20:58.080 --> 00:21:03.000
in front sorry I was counting like this but all those patterns are

248
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.320
complementary

249
00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:10.800
so this is where you get to decide okay am I gonna break down the arms first am

250
00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:15.640
I gonna break down the pivot which one you know I would usually kind of try

251
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.840
both and see which one he will leave them with a playable pattern but this is

252
00:21:19.840 --> 00:21:25.600
where this can get tricky because you have a couple a few complementary pieces

253
00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:30.560
that you're gonna have to adjust and if you pick the wrong one he's gonna have

254
00:21:30.560 --> 00:21:38.920
some bigger misses so thinking through which one or two at the most would I

255
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:43.480
be able to potentially add and work on and then kind of work through iterations

256
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:50.080
of details I think is a good overall framework in general sometimes I like to

257
00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:53.880
just kind of classify what's going on this golfer appears to me like he has

258
00:21:53.880 --> 00:22:01.240
pretty stiff wrists and very mobile or movement in the shoulder blades and

259
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:05.240
knees so he doesn't use his hips a lot he doesn't use his wrist a lot he uses

260
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:12.360
a lot of his ankles feet and then he uses a lot of his shoulder blades very

261
00:22:12.360 --> 00:22:17.320
you know very much an under flip not a lot of supination pattern that fits with

262
00:22:17.320 --> 00:22:22.600
the no wipe thing so this would be a fun case because you could have a really

263
00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:26.320
big impact but it would also be kind of a little bit of one of those cases

264
00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:26.480
where

265
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:31.160
there's a chance you could lead him down the wrong direction pretty quickly if

266
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:37.500
you didn't help him understand how these pieces fit and hopefully pick the

267
00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:37.960
right

268
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:46.360
one to start on all right so now we got the the ladies all arm swing super weak

269
00:22:46.360 --> 00:22:54.160
grip some of these compensations are going to be working her brain working

270
00:22:54.160 --> 00:23:02.240
out how do I get a clubface that's in that position with a hand position just

271
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:06.320
kind of like that one of the one of the relationships I look at for grip

272
00:23:06.320 --> 00:23:10.760
strength is right here where's the V on the right hand compared to the club

273
00:23:10.760 --> 00:23:16.520
face usually you would want the clubface pointing a little bit to a right or

274
00:23:16.520 --> 00:23:27.160
target side compared to the V so she's in a very weak position she has not a

275
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:34.120
lot of ulnar and deviation we look from this view here

276
00:23:36.520 --> 00:23:44.080
there's a lot of excessive bend of the arms this will be typically very little

277
00:23:44.080 --> 00:23:48.880
rotation so very little supination the lead hand will stay on top for a long

278
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:55.440
period of time into the follow through the elbows are definitely getting wider

279
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:01.840
I think of this pattern is kind of swinging the club around my body with

280
00:24:01.840 --> 00:24:06.040
my shoulders and elbows instead of swinging the club in front of my body

281
00:24:06.040 --> 00:24:11.440
with forearm rotation so that's zero supination a first thing I would

282
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:16.560
probably be going after would be follow through position of getting those

283
00:24:16.560 --> 00:24:16.840
elbows

284
00:24:16.840 --> 00:24:22.480
closer together in the forums close to the touching and then because the arms

285
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:27.160
are getting away from each other kind of like this that pulls the radius away

286
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:33.840
from the ground and so we'll see a little bit more of kind of a drop through

287
00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:38.240
impact instead of a vertical bracing so she's bracing all with the shoulders I

288
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:38.920
'd

289
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:44.440
be concerned if she had any history of neck issues you know I'm pretty sure

290
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:52.880
she's she's youngish so she might be okay but from a longevity I'd be trying

291
00:24:52.880 --> 00:25:01.280
to get a little bit more evenly distributed bracing and I would start

292
00:25:01.280 --> 00:25:07.800
with the follow through position because we can basically see most of the

293
00:25:07.800 --> 00:25:08.000
things

294
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:12.280
that you would want to improve going more vertical getting more in front

295
00:25:12.280 --> 00:25:20.040
getting more leg a little less you know a little more body rotation it impact

296
00:25:20.040 --> 00:25:23.920
although that's not too bad a little more ulnar deviation most of those things

297
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:29.800
are going to open the face and she already has a massive open face problem

298
00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:36.920
not just because of the grip but also the way that she's releasing the club

299
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.880
with very little face rotation so that's probably where I would start with her

300
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:46.320
but you can see how these pieces fit all right so last one we've got the

301
00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:50.720
over setting the wrist oftentimes with this pattern you'll see very little

302
00:25:50.720 --> 00:26:01.130
ulnar deviation and you can see that with him very little he does he ramps up

303
00:26:01.130 --> 00:26:01.320
kind

304
00:26:01.320 --> 00:26:06.440
of bigger and bigger practice swings but you can see both these positions

305
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:10.800
that's a very vertical wrist set so you know he might have over practiced with

306
00:26:10.800 --> 00:26:25.680
the swing guide he has also not none but a low level of supination and so I

307
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:26.160
think

308
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:34.200
there was one one of his little practice swings maybe was this first one where

309
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:40.400
you can see that the club face is in a quite open position with an excessive

310
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:48.560
amount of shaft lean so that no supination with a super strong face

311
00:26:48.560 --> 00:26:53.600
attachment there is potentially going to cause a lot of thin it's going to

312
00:26:53.600 --> 00:26:53.800
cause

313
00:26:53.800 --> 00:26:58.640
a lot of low point issues it would be my kind of biggest concern so then if I

314
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:04.080
look at impact position I'm just going to take a mental snapshot as far as the

315
00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:16.640
wrist position here and then when I go to use the further one doesn't look like

316
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:21.360
he has a lot of increased flexion of the lead wrist extension of the trail

317
00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:25.480
wrist it looks like he's bringing him back pretty close to the same position

318
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:30.280
so he's just started them in a quite strong position which unfortunately if

319
00:27:30.280 --> 00:27:35.600
you don't have a ton of body rotation which he doesn't especially hip rotation

320
00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:44.040
then your only way to avoid hitting it left causes low point issues so that can

321
00:27:44.040 --> 00:27:50.080
be that can be tricky people fall in love with the strong grip and then build

322
00:27:50.080 --> 00:27:53.720
wrist mechanics that move the low point backwards so they get stuck hitting a

323
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:58.560
lot of thin shots and they have to hit a bunch of left shots until they are

324
00:27:58.560 --> 00:27:59.320
able

325
00:27:59.320 --> 00:28:07.280
to rework that pattern together. It's very little lower body bracing you'll see

326
00:28:07.280 --> 00:28:12.360
again little sag it's not it's not terrible but you know there's kind of a

327
00:28:12.360 --> 00:28:19.240
little bit of that knee buckle a little bit of the leg trail leg not really

328
00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:24.840
having any hip extension as well oftentimes I'll talk about a little bit

329
00:28:24.840 --> 00:28:30.080
later but oftentimes you'll see a lot of if they're dominant with their arm

330
00:28:30.080 --> 00:28:34.640
action that will tend to cause a little bit more sagging in the lower body

331
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:39.760
through the release. Okay so before we look at the tour examples let's just

332
00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:40.200
kind

333
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:44.480
of talk a little bit about the scoop or flip versus tour release so typically

334
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:50.400
with the scoop or flip you'll see one or more of these pieces with the trail

335
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:57.200
wrist you'll have more of a flexion or more of a rehinge oftentimes it's

336
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:04.400
driven by trail arm going internal rotation like that the lead wrist will

337
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.480
be going into extension or more often going into a rehinge as well kind of

338
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:12.440
almost like I call it fishing we're bringing it up back up like this oftentimes

339
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:19.840
with a trail arm retraction which oftentimes doesn't have any supination

340
00:29:19.840 --> 00:29:28.360
versus getting some forearm rotation supination and ulnar deviation. I do talk

341
00:29:28.360 --> 00:29:32.840
I don't want to get on it but I do talk about pressure points and oftentimes

342
00:29:32.840 --> 00:29:33.440
you

343
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:39.740
know getting that pressure point on that trail hand index finger helps maintain

344
00:29:39.740 --> 00:29:43.400
the extension and the white movement where if they're pushing more with the

345
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:48.640
thumb if you were pushing on something from this finger applying resistance you

346
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.560
would tend to kind of get across this way and you can see I'd be encouraged to

347
00:29:52.560 --> 00:29:57.680
pull more with my body if I'm pushing more from the thumb this way it would

348
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:02.880
tend to want to accompany more of that pattern so sometimes if you're really

349
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.240
struggling trying to get the arm to move in the right direction look at the

350
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:13.620
finger and the attachment the elbows closing versus elbows getting further

351
00:30:13.620 --> 00:30:20.380
apart so the more that the elbows are going this way you'll tend to see low

352
00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:25.900
supination in order one way to get my elbows closest together is to touch my

353
00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:30.860
forearms together so part of that would be more from this lead arm supination

354
00:30:30.860 --> 00:30:35.260
you can see when I do that my elbows can get quite close together so that's

355
00:30:35.260 --> 00:30:39.200
part of the reason why you'll tend to see higher supination values with pros

356
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:45.880
versus amateurs and you'll also see the arc width getting closer together or

357
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:46.040
the

358
00:30:46.040 --> 00:30:49.960
arc width widening because the elbows are getting closer together through that

359
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:58.060
release the classics for the body leg buckle is oftentimes so your pecs and

360
00:30:58.060 --> 00:31:02.880
your lats both connect on the pelvis if you recall and so if I get really

361
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:03.520
active

362
00:31:03.520 --> 00:31:10.860
trying to hit something hard with my arms kind of like this my my core

363
00:31:10.860 --> 00:31:16.020
stability pattern will be more of this kind of knee buckle versus if I was

364
00:31:16.020 --> 00:31:22.260
getting more of the the hit from the extension of the arms the extension of

365
00:31:22.260 --> 00:31:26.620
the arms and the extension the hips are more complementary and the kind of whip

366
00:31:26.620 --> 00:31:33.060
of the wrist and the bending of the arm of the legs is more complementary so

367
00:31:33.060 --> 00:31:38.300
oftentimes you'll have a hard time getting someone out of a buckle move just by

368
00:31:38.300 --> 00:31:41.380
working on the buckle you also have to work on kind of the intensity of the

369
00:31:41.380 --> 00:31:46.700
release from the hands the no rotation so if I'm trying to really use my pecs

370
00:31:46.700 --> 00:31:46.900
and

371
00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:51.840
really use my lats they're in a weaker position if I have spine rotation so I'm

372
00:31:51.840 --> 00:31:58.620
gonna tend to pull those in line the more that I'm using my arms lastly the

373
00:31:58.620 --> 00:32:05.450
stand-up move so you can just think about it from pure geometry perspective if

374
00:32:05.450 --> 00:32:05.700
I

375
00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:12.940
the more that I stand up all this is going to get long so if I side bent and

376
00:32:12.940 --> 00:32:20.220
rotated this would get long behind the golf ball so standing up no rotation and

377
00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:25.300
a little bit more on top of the ball tend to help with low point control if my

378
00:32:25.300 --> 00:32:30.900
arm mechanics aren't quite or if they're more in the scoop pattern instead of

379
00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:34.420
that tour release or if I'm squaring it more with the in-plane movement rather

380
00:32:34.420 --> 00:32:41.500
than shaft rotation but so now let's take a look at a handful of professionals

381
00:32:41.500 --> 00:32:45.660
looking at their release so Rory has some interesting stuff in his arm

382
00:32:45.660 --> 00:32:52.700
mechanics but here we'll take a take a quick look so from this delivery

383
00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:57.140
position we'll see he's really good at going into that bracing movement early

384
00:32:57.140 --> 00:33:02.700
we'll see that even though this elbow is behind as he continues to go through

385
00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:08.180
you can see how that elbow doesn't just stop on his side as it rotates it's

386
00:33:08.180 --> 00:33:14.900
being brought around by the movement of the trunk or the the obliques and the

387
00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:22.020
pull of that lead shoulder if we go to that impact position we see you know

388
00:33:22.020 --> 00:33:28.180
in line with that right arm so the the right arm plane is good the body

389
00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:32.620
rotations are good the side bend is good the difference between his wrist

390
00:33:32.620 --> 00:33:40.840
position at setup and impact we can see he's gone into a significant amount

391
00:33:40.840 --> 00:33:41.460
more

392
00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:46.540
trail wrist extension maybe not quite as much on the lead but definitely more

393
00:33:46.540 --> 00:33:54.100
trail wrist extension and then as he continues to go through really good job

394
00:33:54.100 --> 00:34:01.300
of getting those arms to get closer together he works into some fluid

395
00:34:01.300 --> 00:34:09.300
supination elbows get closer together I mean this is this is one of the

396
00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:13.180
positions that I think is more consistent at torpo level than kind of

397
00:34:13.180 --> 00:34:19.400
anything else because there's just there's only so many ways that you could

398
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:19.780
have

399
00:34:19.780 --> 00:34:24.700
a good flat spot club face control and create speed and most of them would get

400
00:34:24.700 --> 00:34:30.700
you in this overall follow-through position I think a couple good ones of

401
00:34:30.700 --> 00:34:39.700
Justin Thomas so we'll see again let's run through stable pelvis so we'll see

402
00:34:39.700 --> 00:34:45.420
right around here there's not much pelvis slide it goes more vertical we'll

403
00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:54.940
see the arms extending on the way through not as much of the forearm

404
00:34:54.940 --> 00:35:05.780
rotation as say more golfers fair amount through there and then not quite sure

405
00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:12.820
what shot he's hitting here but later on that forearm rotation but still gets

406
00:35:12.820 --> 00:35:13.040
the

407
00:35:13.040 --> 00:35:20.500
elbows closer together good bracing and dominant you know that follow-through

408
00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:26.300
position the impact line of the shoulder hip arm hand I think he's one of the

409
00:35:26.300 --> 00:35:32.020
best of this as far as getting the hands ahead but even even though he does

410
00:35:32.020 --> 00:35:38.980
that you'll see it's kind of a shallow ground contact so really good flat spot

411
00:35:38.980 --> 00:35:48.340
from the path side of things bring it down you know checkpoint one club kind of

412
00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:53.440
more in line with that right forearm rather than the left good amount of

413
00:35:53.440 --> 00:36:00.140
pelvis rotation trunk rotation kind of gets close to pointing at the golf ball

414
00:36:00.140 --> 00:36:09.090
right around this P6 we didn't look at too many of those but you'll see the

415
00:36:09.090 --> 00:36:09.620
this

416
00:36:09.620 --> 00:36:13.620
is that checkpoint that I look for as far as the hands more in front of the

417
00:36:13.620 --> 00:36:24.380
shoulder really good P6 there looking at a little maybe under-onored at this

418
00:36:24.380 --> 00:36:28.820
point but again I think that could be related to the shot and where he's

419
00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:30.060
playing

420
00:36:30.060 --> 00:36:34.140
typically guys who are a little bit more under-onored will tend to have a

421
00:36:34.140 --> 00:36:39.920
lower launch like a Sergio Garcia guys who have a lot more owner deviation will

422
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:49.740
tend to have a little bit higher launch really good maintaining his spine angle

423
00:36:49.740 --> 00:36:57.420
rotating is thrown through all that good classic stuff alright in general the

424
00:36:57.420 --> 00:37:02.460
pros are a lot more boring to analyze their release compared to the amateurs

425
00:37:02.460 --> 00:37:05.580
because we'll see a lot more creative things happening with the amateur

426
00:37:05.580 --> 00:37:16.670
pattern this isn't a great video of Sam's need just because the sweater is so

427
00:37:16.670 --> 00:37:16.820
bulky

428
00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:21.340
that it's hard to see what the arms and hands are doing through there but you

429
00:37:21.340 --> 00:37:26.580
will see kind of getting back into that classic position legs extended good

430
00:37:26.580 --> 00:37:34.380
axis tilt good hip extension enough owner deviation elbows close together

431
00:37:34.380 --> 00:37:42.820
supination going on there good width in the follow-through Robert rock

432
00:37:44.020 --> 00:37:52.660
good leg extension good supination elbows wider there closing together there

433
00:37:52.660 --> 00:37:57.740
so not a real strong shoulder pull more bracing from the hips great hip

434
00:37:57.740 --> 00:38:05.180
extension there so all these classic things again you'll start to see a lot

435
00:38:05.180 --> 00:38:10.300
more similarities between the release compared to say some transition stuff

436
00:38:10.300 --> 00:38:14.300
or some backswing stuff when looking at the tour level and it's one of the

437
00:38:14.300 --> 00:38:20.220
more constant areas or consistent areas where pros almost have to find this

438
00:38:20.220 --> 00:38:23.340
pattern if they're going to have the level of consistency required to be a

439
00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:28.980
pro okay so going through this zone as far as video checkpoints if we're going

440
00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:35.820
p5.5 or even down to p6 you're looking at steep shallow balance this is the

441
00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:39.660
shift point so we'll start to see a lot of the body movements change from one

442
00:38:39.660 --> 00:38:43.740
direction to the other and we're looking at where is that trail elbow and those

443
00:38:43.740 --> 00:38:51.900
wrists compared to the body we saw p6 as a key position for looking at lag and

444
00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:56.900
body rotation sequencing impact is you know if you only had one position to

445
00:38:56.900 --> 00:39:02.260
look at this tells you a whole lot looking at the axis tilt and the impact

446
00:39:02.260 --> 00:39:07.660
line the wrist orientations the forearm plane all that's going to start you're

447
00:39:07.660 --> 00:39:12.780
gonna look at it pretty quickly and be able to take a good guess at what their

448
00:39:12.780 --> 00:39:18.220
mispatterns might be what their strengths might be you know who runs the

449
00:39:18.220 --> 00:39:22.780
risk of getting in trouble from swinging hard versus who runs the risk of

450
00:39:22.780 --> 00:39:26.580
swinging getting in trouble when they swing easy some of these things will

451
00:39:26.580 --> 00:39:32.140
show up in what's going on here during the release follow through position

452
00:39:32.140 --> 00:39:33.100
again

453
00:39:33.100 --> 00:39:37.260
I almost always work from impact and follow through backward just a really

454
00:39:37.260 --> 00:39:43.620
dig into the release and then jumping into how the rest of the movements relate

455
00:39:43.620 --> 00:39:50.180
to or complement the release okay so looking at the key body relationships this

456
00:39:50.180 --> 00:39:55.780
is kind of the face and path phase from here to there where the transition

457
00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:55.980
phase

458
00:39:55.980 --> 00:40:01.580
is more about creating power so here we're looking at shoulder rotations

459
00:40:01.580 --> 00:40:09.580
scapular movements and connection and the arm bends as kind of the key arm not

460
00:40:09.580 --> 00:40:09.780
so

461
00:40:09.780 --> 00:40:14.540
much wrist but the key arm relationships come the the wrists are yes there's

462
00:40:14.540 --> 00:40:19.940
some physical abilities but that's a lot more coordination where the arm

463
00:40:19.940 --> 00:40:26.780
motions that's more like a physical breakdown off more frequently so shoulder

464
00:40:26.780 --> 00:40:32.780
rotation not being able to go into external rotation to easily can make

465
00:40:32.780 --> 00:40:37.700
this position hard to get into and the second you start adding more of this

466
00:40:37.700 --> 00:40:40.940
which is internal rotation you're gonna have to have some type of

467
00:40:40.940 --> 00:40:46.860
computation whether it's a shallow from the body that way a shallow from having

468
00:40:46.860 --> 00:40:52.860
more tilt that way I'm gonna balance it with some body movement scapular

469
00:40:52.860 --> 00:40:58.220
connection so when I'm down in this zone I'm looking at you know what's going

470
00:40:58.220 --> 00:40:58.460
on

471
00:40:58.460 --> 00:41:05.460
with this side here and what's going on with this shoulder pulling forward and

472
00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:11.420
backward like that oftentimes you'll start to see right around here a big pull

473
00:41:11.420 --> 00:41:16.820
from this left shoulder or shoulder blade almost like doing a row kind of

474
00:41:16.820 --> 00:41:21.300
like this that will pull on the club and throw the club that out create some

475
00:41:21.300 --> 00:41:27.700
speed but creates a whole host of contact and face control problems same

476
00:41:27.700 --> 00:41:33.540
thing with kind of the arm bend the arm bend can pull to help the club whip

477
00:41:33.540 --> 00:41:33.780
pass

478
00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:42.580
but that creates a really narrow low point or narrow arc width looking at the

479
00:41:42.580 --> 00:41:48.140
abs in the core so are they using their obliques is are these ribs

480
00:41:48.140 --> 00:41:52.780
continuing to rotate down through there or have I gone into more of an

481
00:41:52.780 --> 00:41:53.900
extension

482
00:41:53.900 --> 00:42:00.260
movement or too much of a crunch movement kind of going that way but be

483
00:42:00.260 --> 00:42:04.820
careful because oftentimes what you see happening at the spine is actually a

484
00:42:04.820 --> 00:42:07.940
connection and a compensation for what's happening at the shoulder blades and

485
00:42:07.940 --> 00:42:17.220
shoulders the pelvic tilt in TVA so seeing like a good glute hip activation

486
00:42:17.220 --> 00:42:22.700
we're a little bit more of a pelvic tilt kind of going this way as opposed to

487
00:42:22.700 --> 00:42:31.700
more of a hip flexor or quad type sag the so the quad indicators would be more

488
00:42:31.700 --> 00:42:36.020
that I'm going in towards my toes more than my knees are getting bent more than

489
00:42:36.020 --> 00:42:40.980
I'm going side to side laterally where the glued indicators are going to be

490
00:42:40.980 --> 00:42:41.260
more

491
00:42:41.260 --> 00:42:50.180
of a pelvic tilt more of a hip extension so you'll tend to see from this face

492
00:42:50.180 --> 00:42:50.180
on

493
00:42:50.180 --> 00:42:54.450
view if the knee is kind of like in front of the pelvis like this that's more

494
00:42:54.450 --> 00:42:54.580
of

495
00:42:54.580 --> 00:43:01.980
a ankle and knee where if the hip is almost passing the knee that's more of a

496
00:43:01.980 --> 00:43:06.460
glute activation especially looking at the trail side from the foot if we're

497
00:43:06.460 --> 00:43:12.970
looking at the lead foot if I get to more into my toes pivoting more on the

498
00:43:12.970 --> 00:43:13.140
ball

499
00:43:13.140 --> 00:43:21.060
on my foot instead of getting more into that cuboid that can be a sign of again

500
00:43:21.060 --> 00:43:32.150
knee versus glute or and the trail foot so if it's overly kind of pronating

501
00:43:32.150 --> 00:43:32.940
down

502
00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:38.420
this way that's more that creates slack from the glute so that's not going to

503
00:43:38.420 --> 00:43:38.540
be

504
00:43:38.540 --> 00:43:43.540
a real strong platform for being able to push if you one little exercise I do

505
00:43:43.540 --> 00:43:43.700
for

506
00:43:43.700 --> 00:43:47.460
my students is if I get in this position and I really squeeze this butt you'll

507
00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:52.870
see that the foot wants to kind of like go into external rotation and straight

508
00:43:52.870 --> 00:43:52.940
en

509
00:43:52.940 --> 00:43:59.020
out like that so oftentimes it's getting this bracing or getting this glute

510
00:43:59.020 --> 00:44:03.940
squeeze and then bringing that glute squeeze or using that glute squeeze and

511
00:44:03.940 --> 00:44:07.780
the momentum of the body turning to pull my foot up as opposed to really

512
00:44:07.780 --> 00:44:08.660
driving

513
00:44:08.660 --> 00:44:13.140
that foot in and forward that in and forward movement is typically more of a

514
00:44:13.140 --> 00:44:18.580
knee complement with a back action instead of like a gluten core action

515
00:44:18.580 --> 00:44:25.540
okay so now let's go through some of the coaches submissions kind of keeping in

516
00:44:25.540 --> 00:44:30.780
all this framework so here's Kellen really good looking swing but we said

517
00:44:30.780 --> 00:44:34.180
hey there might be some stuff going on that we're gonna be able to see here in

518
00:44:34.180 --> 00:44:40.180
the in the release so I'm gonna work from this impact stuff backwards so if

519
00:44:40.180 --> 00:44:45.580
I'm just scrubbing back and forth first thing that jumps out to me you know

520
00:44:45.580 --> 00:44:51.340
relatively good impact line but hips are a little bit ahead upper body is a

521
00:44:51.340 --> 00:44:58.100
little bit more tilted back and now if I look at this shoulder we'll see it

522
00:44:58.100 --> 00:45:05.100
kind of freezes in this or that elbow freezes freezes freezes so there's not

523
00:45:05.100 --> 00:45:10.700
a lot of movement of the center of the elbow compared to his ribcage between

524
00:45:10.700 --> 00:45:15.140
there and there it's just going into more of a rotation movement so this slide

525
00:45:15.140 --> 00:45:15.340
of

526
00:45:15.340 --> 00:45:21.180
the hips helps to move the low point forward since that wipe is kind of on

527
00:45:21.180 --> 00:45:28.900
the lower end now I think he has pretty good hip bracing so

528
00:45:28.900 --> 00:45:35.110
potentially it looks like the shoulders and the core aren't really rotating

529
00:45:35.110 --> 00:45:35.260
with

530
00:45:35.260 --> 00:45:41.940
the arm so he's hitting it more from the hips and that trail shoulder if we

531
00:45:41.940 --> 00:45:42.180
look

532
00:45:42.180 --> 00:45:47.820
from here we might even see we can see that trail shoulder blade kind of

533
00:45:47.820 --> 00:45:48.180
getting

534
00:45:48.180 --> 00:45:54.620
up and off of his body kind of more aggressively that way again I like what

535
00:45:54.620 --> 00:45:58.420
is lower bodies doing but it does look like there's a little avoidance of the

536
00:45:58.420 --> 00:46:07.140
core and kind of over over activation of that trail shoulder so I would imagine

537
00:46:07.140 --> 00:46:12.460
that because of because of the shoulder doing what it's doing he has to get

538
00:46:12.460 --> 00:46:12.620
that

539
00:46:12.620 --> 00:46:17.020
lower body a little bit more in front that creates more tilt that tilt will

540
00:46:17.020 --> 00:46:22.420
tend to cause more thin misses and kind of a feeling of not real solid

541
00:46:22.420 --> 00:46:23.020
compression

542
00:46:23.020 --> 00:46:28.660
potentially and where it really might show up would be he might not be quite

543
00:46:28.660 --> 00:46:36.620
as tight with his short irons it's also possible that he could have some club

544
00:46:36.620 --> 00:46:41.500
face issues off the tee because of that shoulder but I'm guessing kind of his

545
00:46:41.500 --> 00:46:45.860
mid and long irons he'll be pretty good with just looking at other players who

546
00:46:45.860 --> 00:46:52.100
have that pattern so this is just an example of how I dig through a better

547
00:46:52.100 --> 00:46:58.140
players swing because there's not a you know there's no gross things to look at

548
00:46:58.140 --> 00:47:02.580
but we can see that there's some some physical connections that aren't quite as

549
00:47:02.580 --> 00:47:07.780
clean as I would like to see primarily in the core in that trail shoulder blade

550
00:47:07.780 --> 00:47:13.980
all right so here we have this other submission we've been talking about him

551
00:47:13.980 --> 00:47:17.940
for a few webinars that like hey nothing's too bad so if I start at this

552
00:47:17.940 --> 00:47:26.900
follow-through position for him we can see okay he's got a really steep body

553
00:47:26.900 --> 00:47:32.540
position so no real access tilt there in fact if we you know draw that kind of

554
00:47:32.540 --> 00:47:39.380
impact line like we've got a gap between his hip and his upper body or hip in

555
00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:44.460
that line that would tend to produce some real trouble with the driver so he's

556
00:47:44.460 --> 00:47:48.700
probably better with the three wood rather than the driver off the tee and

557
00:47:48.700 --> 00:47:57.420
we can see that trail knee and foot kind of more just spinning out so there's

558
00:47:57.420 --> 00:48:02.100
not a lot of verticals going on he he kind of has to throw the arms past and he

559
00:48:02.100 --> 00:48:07.780
does so with that kind of upper body really or that shoulder girdle rotating

560
00:48:07.780 --> 00:48:14.700
forward if you want to move your shoulder girdle as far as possible

561
00:48:14.700 --> 00:48:19.900
that's easier to do with kind of soft knees compared if you wanted to move

562
00:48:19.900 --> 00:48:24.300
your core then that actually works a little bit better with a bending and

563
00:48:24.300 --> 00:48:30.420
straightening of the legs so anytime you see like no bracing whatsoever that's

564
00:48:30.420 --> 00:48:36.220
usually a dominant shoulder girdle type action okay if we now if we look at the

565
00:48:36.220 --> 00:48:40.500
arms and hands from this perspective we can see oh man he's already in a steep

566
00:48:40.500 --> 00:48:46.340
body position and the club is in a steep position but his body is under-rotated

567
00:48:46.340 --> 00:48:52.180
well now if we go to a couple of our checks specifically if we look at this

568
00:48:52.180 --> 00:48:59.860
foreign plane wow there's very little like that's a that's a very under ulnar

569
00:48:59.860 --> 00:49:10.220
deviated position so right around here he's you know he's kind of retaining

570
00:49:10.220 --> 00:49:10.340
that

571
00:49:10.340 --> 00:49:14.740
angle and then he goes into more of almost like a swivel type movement

572
00:49:14.740 --> 00:49:20.300
instead of getting that ulnar deviation and getting that good arm rotation so

573
00:49:20.300 --> 00:49:26.520
he gets more he's in this position here and then he gets that rotation going

574
00:49:26.520 --> 00:49:26.780
more

575
00:49:26.780 --> 00:49:32.220
around this way instead of like under and then rotating it looks like the

576
00:49:32.220 --> 00:49:36.700
sequence is kind of rotating without ever getting under so I think the big

577
00:49:36.700 --> 00:49:40.980
driving force is that ulnar deviation that ulnar deviation is one of the big

578
00:49:40.980 --> 00:49:47.420
width mechanisms so part of why I think he has to sag and stay so much down on

579
00:49:47.420 --> 00:49:54.540
the way through is to account for the the lack of depth because he's missing

580
00:49:54.540 --> 00:50:01.460
one of that the big pieces with that ulnar deviation so that's pretty much

581
00:50:01.460 --> 00:50:06.220
where I would be going at with him would be adding ulnar deviation and then

582
00:50:06.220 --> 00:50:11.020
working into some sequencing so now it makes sense that he gets more of this

583
00:50:11.020 --> 00:50:16.340
kind of shoulder pull steep and then kind of swivel everything rotates through

584
00:50:16.340 --> 00:50:23.700
so you know good looking finish position in the sense that his hips get into a

585
00:50:23.700 --> 00:50:28.020
really good extension position I'm not really worried that he's doing this

586
00:50:28.020 --> 00:50:32.460
movement because he has really poor hip function it looks like it's more of a

587
00:50:32.460 --> 00:50:37.540
pattern that he had to build around this lack of ulnar deviation so I would

588
00:50:37.540 --> 00:50:45.020
definitely explore that and then work backwards from there oh man the most

589
00:50:45.020 --> 00:50:52.180
interesting golf swing in America here we go looking at Brooks so if we get it

590
00:50:52.180 --> 00:50:57.020
down you know the more I look at just the more amazed I am by the golf swing so

591
00:50:57.020 --> 00:51:02.900
again club face is in a crazy closed position there as you go up towards the

592
00:51:02.900 --> 00:51:06.260
top of the swing I don't think I highlighted this last time but it has a

593
00:51:06.260 --> 00:51:10.900
big influence on what's going on in the release notice how in these blurry

594
00:51:10.900 --> 00:51:18.780
frames you'll see if you look at that lead wrist it goes from severely bowed

595
00:51:18.780 --> 00:51:23.660
to pretty well cupped so he gets into this power pole pattern but when he does

596
00:51:23.660 --> 00:51:30.500
that watch what happens to the club face so now when he regrips the club face

597
00:51:30.500 --> 00:51:30.660
is

598
00:51:30.660 --> 00:51:34.740
actually in an open position so I'm sure at some point he struggled with an

599
00:51:34.740 --> 00:51:35.020
open

600
00:51:35.020 --> 00:51:40.280
club face and then he just overworked because he wasn't using any system to

601
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:43.940
look at when was the club face getting open he just over closed the face in the

602
00:51:43.940 --> 00:51:51.380
takeaway but that didn't change the fact that now at this position here you can

603
00:51:51.380 --> 00:51:56.020
see that's a pretty open club face position he can't close it anymore so

604
00:51:56.020 --> 00:52:01.860
he's in this open position and then he has to really close it with this in-

605
00:52:01.860 --> 00:52:02.060
plane

606
00:52:02.060 --> 00:52:11.420
movement probably the most I've ever seen so massive flip kind of lack of

607
00:52:11.420 --> 00:52:14.380
unhinged because unhinged hope and opens the face so yeah he's not gonna

608
00:52:14.380 --> 00:52:21.210
unhinged the wrists essentially have this big rotation movement which should

609
00:52:21.210 --> 00:52:22.140
move

610
00:52:22.140 --> 00:52:28.420
the path outside in but then because the shoulders have a big kind of

611
00:52:28.420 --> 00:52:33.900
elevation movement and the body stays closed that balances it out but it

612
00:52:33.900 --> 00:52:41.540
balances it out with a shaft that is pretty close to vertical or way behind

613
00:52:41.540 --> 00:52:48.420
his body so this is the classic example of shallow body except for the fact

614
00:52:48.420 --> 00:52:49.300
that

615
00:52:49.300 --> 00:52:54.580
I'm so I've had so much lateral movement that that's the only steep I can't add

616
00:52:54.580 --> 00:52:59.460
staying imposter steep body rotation steep because I'm so far past the golf

617
00:52:59.460 --> 00:52:59.660
ball

618
00:52:59.660 --> 00:53:06.740
with my upper body that I can't add any more steeps also geometrically because

619
00:53:06.740 --> 00:53:06.860
I

620
00:53:06.860 --> 00:53:12.700
squared the face with all of this straightening of the club I would

621
00:53:12.700 --> 00:53:18.140
bottom out way behind unless I slid forward so his body movement is the

622
00:53:18.140 --> 00:53:27.140
all shallow no rotation early extension lift and complemented by kind of more

623
00:53:27.140 --> 00:53:27.260
of

624
00:53:27.260 --> 00:53:33.540
a arm pull or back pull kind of almost like a chop-type movement with the back

625
00:53:33.540 --> 00:53:43.740
muscles as a power source and then the good news the good news is that if I go

626
00:53:43.740 --> 00:53:48.300
into looking at the follow-through position it's decent there's he's got

627
00:53:48.300 --> 00:53:53.980
some soup a little bit of supination he's got no real chicken wing and then

628
00:53:53.980 --> 00:53:59.180
he's actually got some decent core movement oftentimes you'll see like a

629
00:53:59.180 --> 00:54:04.140
really massive buckle but he's actually got a little bit of hip extension and

630
00:54:04.140 --> 00:54:13.980
you know belly button movement through there so I think you know I'm not no

631
00:54:13.980 --> 00:54:20.200
sugar coating he's got a lot of kind of arm pattern to clean up but the

632
00:54:20.200 --> 00:54:20.700
evidence

633
00:54:20.700 --> 00:54:27.620
is there that his body might actually be able to move pretty well if he wasn't

634
00:54:27.620 --> 00:54:28.020
in

635
00:54:28.020 --> 00:54:32.700
such a hampered position because of what the arms are doing okay last but not

636
00:54:32.700 --> 00:54:39.100
least I do think it's interesting that whoever is operating this camera kind of

637
00:54:39.100 --> 00:54:45.310
stopped at my delivery position and then picks it up and goes from follow all

638
00:54:45.310 --> 00:54:45.420
the

639
00:54:45.420 --> 00:54:51.700
way to follow through so here we'll see tremendous like really good job of

640
00:54:51.700 --> 00:54:58.780
bracing really good you'll watch the elbows get closer together you'll see the

641
00:54:58.780 --> 00:55:02.380
glove hand is blocked by the sweater this was the same day when he was playing

642
00:55:02.380 --> 00:55:09.740
with Sam's need but you can see the supination and arm rotation there so you

643
00:55:09.740 --> 00:55:15.180
can also see that it's not so much of a lead shoulder pull a lot of the golfers

644
00:55:15.180 --> 00:55:18.820
you see with the big lead shoulder pull that shoulder will be disappearing

645
00:55:18.820 --> 00:55:19.140
behind

646
00:55:19.140 --> 00:55:24.780
their body and you won't see much of their tricep or bicep there so really

647
00:55:24.780 --> 00:55:33.540
good arm extension really good hip extension right so essentially the plane

648
00:55:33.540 --> 00:55:38.540
of the pelvis is right about there and the plane of the leg is behind that so

649
00:55:38.540 --> 00:55:43.060
that's really good trail hip extension that's you know tucking the hips or

650
00:55:43.060 --> 00:55:48.220
getting that belt buckle brought up the pelvic tilt all that creates really

651
00:55:48.220 --> 00:55:55.060
good transfer of energy from the glute to the abs to the ribs so really rock

652
00:55:55.060 --> 00:56:00.660
solid release pattern so we're we're winding into the follow-through which is

653
00:56:00.660 --> 00:56:04.220
gonna be more of the absorption of speed phase so how do I safely get

654
00:56:04.220 --> 00:56:08.460
through we'll talk about that in the the next webinar and then we're gonna do

655
00:56:08.460 --> 00:56:13.580
some other stuff relating to just kind of tying all the pieces together so if

656
00:56:13.580 --> 00:56:18.940
you have any questions please send them any send me an email or comment below

657
00:56:18.940 --> 00:56:24.100
and we'll keep working through the different phases and working through

658
00:56:24.100 --> 00:56:28.300
dissecting or breaking down the body movements as they relate to the key

659
00:56:28.300 --> 00:56:31.140
swing phases
