1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.500
All right coaches, here we go with one more presentation on the follow-through,

2
00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:06.480
so the last

3
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:12.180
presentation we focused on the release, but I do so much coaching on the follow

4
00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:13.440
-through position

5
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:20.050
that I wanted to do a follow-up presentation just on P8, so just on kind of the

6
00:00:20.050 --> 00:00:21.360
end of this way.

7
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:27.460
We will look at the normal stuff of arms versus body, bracing versus coasting

8
00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:28.960
that comes into play

9
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:37.680
here, and then path and face, so steeps and shallows. This is going to utilize

10
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:38.640
all of our

11
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.920
simple movement keys, so we're going to be looking at a lot of what's moving,

12
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:44.400
what's not,

13
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:50.710
finding the fixed point. We'll be doing some with the inner outer unit, local

14
00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:51.280
and global.

15
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:59.650
Lever arms again is more about transition, but you can relate it to absorbing

16
00:00:59.650 --> 00:01:00.960
force as well,

17
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.340
so some of the reasons why people might shorten their arms to decrease lever

18
00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:04.560
arms.

19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:12.720
Swing phase goals, this is one of the positions that kind of reveals a lot of

20
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:13.600
what's going on

21
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:19.120
in the golfer's mind down through impact, so looking at how they're creating

22
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:19.680
power,

23
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:24.720
how they're controlling the path, how they're controlling the face. What gets

24
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:25.280
loaded gets

25
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.040
unloaded. We are now seeing the unloaded phase, so that can help us interpret

26
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.160
what's getting loaded.

27
00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:36.960
This is the end of kind of the active elements of the swing, in my opinion, so

28
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:39.040
it's a great place

29
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:44.740
to start working backward, even maybe better than impact, and again we're going

30
00:01:44.740 --> 00:01:45.680
to try to get the

31
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.780
body moving and the arms doing a little bit less, or some certain keys. Okay,

32
00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:52.720
real quick,

33
00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:59.200
so with the backswing we talked about initiating with the core, shifting the

34
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.040
pressure from that

35
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.140
lead foot to the trail foot while maintaining a somewhat centered pivot and

36
00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:08.960
orienting the arms

37
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.120
and the club face so that we can get into a good downswing path and delivery.

38
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.520
We talked last time about during the release going from the point where the

39
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:20.320
grip is moving

40
00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:26.000
the max speed slightly after the lead foot has reached its max pressure and

41
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:26.960
then transferring

42
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:32.210
all that speed to the club head while controlling the path in the face to give

43
00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:34.880
us power, solidness,

44
00:02:34.880 --> 00:02:42.010
and straightness. Okay, so if you remember with the release goals we were

45
00:02:42.010 --> 00:02:43.040
trying to have

46
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:49.780
stable pelvic slide, getting the arms extending for the flat spot, more

47
00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:51.040
extended trail wrist,

48
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.140
more flexed lead wrist at impact rather than where it was at setup, so that's

49
00:02:57.140 --> 00:02:58.320
crucial for

50
00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:05.620
shaft lean and lag. The force at the bottom will be dominantly normal force or

51
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:07.120
back up the club,

52
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.160
so when we're down at this point the force is coming basically back up this way

53
00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:13.200
as if I was

54
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:17.390
holding on to something and it was getting pulled out of my hands that way so

55
00:03:17.390 --> 00:03:18.960
it doesn't necessarily

56
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.200
mean that I'm pulling towards me because as we see the grip is moving away from

57
00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:24.720
me but I'm pulling

58
00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:30.860
radially along the club not pushing quite as hard across the club at least

59
00:03:30.860 --> 00:03:32.160
proportionally.

60
00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:37.630
Looking at the impact line that's one of the most important geometric concerns

61
00:03:37.630 --> 00:03:39.200
as it relates

62
00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.600
to solid contact, looking at the down the line for both the follow through and

63
00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:47.840
this

64
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.440
delivery and follow through checkpoints to make sure that the club path and the

65
00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:54.080
club face are

66
00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:00.180
matching your ball flight goals and then looking at low point in depth in how

67
00:04:00.180 --> 00:04:00.720
well the club is

68
00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:06.820
just kind of brushing the ground. Quick little recap of the scoop versus the

69
00:04:06.820 --> 00:04:07.840
tour release.

70
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:14.860
Typically with the scoop you are going to see from the trail wrist you're going

71
00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:15.200
to see

72
00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:23.840
the increased wrist flexion or increased rehinge through the impact interval

73
00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:25.040
often combined with

74
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.040
excessive trail arm internal rotation like that. With the lead wrist we're

75
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.440
going to see increased

76
00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.870
extension rates again with rehinge and oftentimes a retraction of that arm with

77
00:04:37.870 --> 00:04:38.800
no supination

78
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:44.050
so as opposed to going there. With the trail hand we'll tend to see more of the

79
00:04:44.050 --> 00:04:45.200
pressure along

80
00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:50.950
the thumb or the webbing so I'm kind of pushing into the club more with this

81
00:04:50.950 --> 00:04:51.920
part of the hand or

82
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.450
this part of the hand less with that pressure point of the index finger I

83
00:04:56.450 --> 00:04:58.000
forget which pressure

84
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:05.200
point number that is and then we'll classically see with the scoop the elbow is

85
00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:06.160
getting further

86
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.720
apart on the way through as opposed to typically the tour golfers we're going

87
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:11.680
to see the elbows

88
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:16.140
getting closer together. You can only do that if the arms are working in front

89
00:05:16.140 --> 00:05:16.880
of your body

90
00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:21.700
instead of more around your side so that relates to some of this normal force

91
00:05:21.700 --> 00:05:22.720
creation as well.

92
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:30.060
Okay from the body we will tend to see in the scoot pattern more of a lead leg

93
00:05:30.060 --> 00:05:31.600
buckle so

94
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:37.700
we'll tend to see more of that lead knee kind of flexing and diving that way.

95
00:05:37.700 --> 00:05:38.560
That's usually an

96
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.970
overuse of some of the anterior hip muscles like the hip flexors and quad and

97
00:05:42.970 --> 00:05:44.480
it's also a sign of

98
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.200
creating more of the speed from kind of the shoulders and arms on the way

99
00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:50.400
through instead of the

100
00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:56.040
whole body and hips, hips core and shoulders. We'll typically see no rotation

101
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:57.200
of the body and that's

102
00:05:57.200 --> 00:06:03.300
because when the arms go to pull two things happen. One the arm fascia lines

103
00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:04.720
end at the pelvis so

104
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.540
your pec and your lat both end at the pelvis so they will be stronger when the

105
00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:10.480
pelvis and the rib

106
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.360
cage are more lined up which is why you'll tend to see on the way through more

107
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.400
of an arm dominant

108
00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:20.560
pattern will have the pelvis and the shoulders pointing in the same direction

109
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:21.200
and if they were

110
00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:25.330
open pointing in the same direction like that would be quite challenging. So

111
00:06:25.330 --> 00:06:26.880
they typically get

112
00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:31.260
the body more square if I face this way kind of get the body more square

113
00:06:31.260 --> 00:06:32.640
because I'm pulling with

114
00:06:32.640 --> 00:06:36.780
my shoulders like that as opposed to having a little bit more of this spinal

115
00:06:36.780 --> 00:06:37.840
twist coming down

116
00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:44.020
through impact and then the stand-up move basically geometrically for the arms

117
00:06:44.020 --> 00:06:45.280
to fit wall straight

118
00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:50.920
the body has to stand up and it tends to help create some normal force by

119
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.400
pulling away like this

120
00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:58.150
but the problem is it creates the very little flat spot so it creates the club

121
00:06:58.150 --> 00:06:58.560
straight up and

122
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.540
down to the bottom of the swing and the bottom of the swing really close to the

123
00:07:01.540 --> 00:07:02.080
golf ball

124
00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:07.270
and the clubface now wanting to turn over because there's no moment arm between

125
00:07:07.270 --> 00:07:07.840
the axis I'm

126
00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:13.030
pulling on in that face rotation so it tends to create really fast clubface

127
00:07:13.030 --> 00:07:15.120
closing okay

128
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:23.840
right I had a few coaches questions come in about the release so

129
00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:30.450
this was kind of a later coach into the program he wanted me to talk about a

130
00:07:30.450 --> 00:07:31.280
specific movement

131
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:35.600
every movement in the first webinar I talked about how every movement is more

132
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:36.800
accurate when

133
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.840
it starts from proximal to distal or when it moves from core outward it's not

134
00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:42.720
only more let's

135
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:49.020
say accurate it's safer it's more efficient you create tension through the

136
00:07:49.020 --> 00:07:52.560
longest part of the chain

137
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:58.310
and you kind of increase that tension incrementally instead of like fixing it

138
00:07:58.310 --> 00:07:58.960
all at once

139
00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:04.720
which I think of like you know if you had a heavier object at the end without

140
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.320
stability in the middle

141
00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:09.550
kind of a weak point in the chain in the middle tends to be more likely to

142
00:08:09.550 --> 00:08:12.000
break so anyway

143
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:18.100
every movement is more accurate when it starts proximal to distal so when you

144
00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:18.720
want to activate

145
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.360
the legs you work from the core question mark so basically he was looking at

146
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.560
the the left crunch

147
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.660
or what happens in transition um and like if I could go over some of the core

148
00:08:30.660 --> 00:08:31.680
movement so

149
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:37.760
I think of it you know kind of in this pattern here so

150
00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:47.140
if I want to push my leg against the ground then I'm going to activate my core

151
00:08:47.140 --> 00:08:48.080
muscles to stabilize

152
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.270
my pelvis is my if my core was really loose and I went to push against the

153
00:08:52.270 --> 00:08:53.600
ground my pelvis would

154
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:59.180
kind of um not be a firm fixed point for my leg to push so it would be less

155
00:08:59.180 --> 00:08:59.680
efficient

156
00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:07.320
now if I go to push my body off the ground the fixed point is now down at the

157
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:08.240
foot the core is

158
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:12.200
going to be tight enough so that when I push with the hip it's going to

159
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.840
transfer the energy that way

160
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.230
um so basically what's happening is from as I start to push with my leg the

161
00:09:20.230 --> 00:09:21.600
energy is going

162
00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:26.660
from the core down to the foot from the foot back up to the core so it's kind

163
00:09:26.660 --> 00:09:27.600
of working in this

164
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:34.280
chain kind of like that um but the the key there is just that my core my trans

165
00:09:34.280 --> 00:09:35.520
verse abdominis

166
00:09:35.520 --> 00:09:39.890
internal oblique multivitus um some of these really deep core stabilizer

167
00:09:39.890 --> 00:09:41.200
muscles are active to

168
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.020
stabilize the spine and stabilize the pelvis so that when I push the leg um the

169
00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:47.040
pelvis doesn't

170
00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:54.780
move too much with it um so now there are other ways so less effective ways for

171
00:09:54.780 --> 00:09:56.800
golf um to

172
00:09:56.800 --> 00:10:02.900
stabilize or to activate the core one would be like if I overly pull with the

173
00:10:02.900 --> 00:10:03.760
back musculature

174
00:10:03.760 --> 00:10:11.600
if I overly pull with the lat this is going to lock the lumbar spine in place

175
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:12.720
it's going to create

176
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:19.440
a fixed point um so I can push that way uh but geometrically now it's gotten my

177
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:20.880
oblique in a

178
00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:23.740
position where it's going to have a hard time rotating so then I'm going to be

179
00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:24.320
more likely

180
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.300
to fire the arms a little bit early that could mess up my sequencing um

181
00:10:28.300 --> 00:10:30.080
compared to if I do it

182
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:36.280
more effectively I'm in this position here and now I'm ready to rotate my ob

183
00:10:36.280 --> 00:10:37.840
lique um because the

184
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:45.200
deep core was stabilized so there um you know we covered that a good bit in the

185
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.240
transition

186
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:52.640
that it's not just this uh the left crunch the left crunch helps um a it's a

187
00:10:52.640 --> 00:10:53.760
sign that I'm using

188
00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:58.720
the core but b that really helps load that left foot pressure um and it helps

189
00:10:58.720 --> 00:10:59.680
you stay in your

190
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:06.930
in your posture so that when you get into this second phase of the downswing

191
00:11:06.930 --> 00:11:07.600
right around here

192
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.200
as you start going into this left tilt or sorry right tilt as you start going

193
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:13.680
into the right

194
00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:18.980
till it doesn't happen too soon if I start going into this right to to tilt uh

195
00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:20.400
right tilt too soon

196
00:11:20.400 --> 00:11:25.680
I tend to get um a little bit more stall flip messing up my flat spot I tend to

197
00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:26.240
get a little

198
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.590
bit too much into out um pathwise and low point gets behind the ball so that

199
00:11:31.590 --> 00:11:32.880
left tilt just kind

200
00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:39.120
of gives this a little bit later um look uh that we see with some of the swings

201
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.200
that I like to study

202
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:47.360
so hopefully that um clears it up but if there's any more specifics other than

203
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.000
how we're trying to

204
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:54.810
get uh transverse abdominis and internal bleak active uh to both stabilize from

205
00:11:54.810 --> 00:11:56.000
the core down

206
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.000
as well as from the hip up it's a key uh key connection there

207
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:06.640
okay there were a few questions that came in um from one particular coach

208
00:12:06.640 --> 00:12:11.600
said I've recently been introduced to 3d force plates uh one day presentation

209
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.160
so I'm just trying

210
00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:16.290
to tie your description to the physics of the force plates I know it's a bit of

211
00:12:16.290 --> 00:12:17.440
separate topics

212
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.400
trying to get my head around it for example you talk about the pressure going

213
00:12:20.400 --> 00:12:22.400
right toe to left

214
00:12:22.400 --> 00:12:29.010
you heel cuboid I do um the example we were given on uh regarding the force

215
00:12:29.010 --> 00:12:30.320
plates is if you were

216
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.600
standing on your left foot only and you jump backward you pushing the ground

217
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:35.760
away from you or

218
00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:40.950
pushing your toes against the end of your foot so would the pressure be more

219
00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:42.160
towards the toes

220
00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:47.490
with regard to the rotational force okay so this is where um pressure versus

221
00:12:47.490 --> 00:12:48.000
force

222
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:56.020
comes into play uh let's use got a notepad here all right so hopefully we can

223
00:12:56.020 --> 00:12:56.800
see this pretty

224
00:12:56.800 --> 00:13:02.900
easily so I've got notepad here I'm going to take my pen and put it in the

225
00:13:02.900 --> 00:13:04.640
center here okay so right

226
00:13:04.640 --> 00:13:09.850
now the pressure is where that point of the tip would be so if we had this as

227
00:13:09.850 --> 00:13:11.440
the force plate map

228
00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:19.630
then you know here's here's my foot boom there's my pressure right right there

229
00:13:19.630 --> 00:13:21.200
in the center now

230
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:26.030
even if I'm pushing at an angle this way this way this way this way this way no

231
00:13:26.030 --> 00:13:26.640
matter where I'm

232
00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:30.480
pushing because the tip of the pen is right there in the center the printer the

233
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:31.040
pressure

234
00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:34.940
would be in the center um but the direction that I'm pushing would be related

235
00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:36.160
to the angle of the pen

236
00:13:37.280 --> 00:13:45.020
so basically what happens during the downswing is the pressure moves from the

237
00:13:45.020 --> 00:13:46.640
toes into the heels

238
00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:53.670
pressure is moving if I get far enough away the pressure is moving back this

239
00:13:53.670 --> 00:13:54.800
way here

240
00:13:54.800 --> 00:14:03.100
into my heel but the force is pushing enough forward so that it creates the

241
00:14:03.100 --> 00:14:03.600
rotation

242
00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:09.350
so the the force is pushing that way which is the same thing as me stepping

243
00:14:09.350 --> 00:14:10.240
backward like this

244
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:17.270
but the pressure is rocking into my heel as I'm doing that so it would kind of

245
00:14:17.270 --> 00:14:18.080
be if I was jumping

246
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.750
I would push more with the toe side of the foot kind of like this where if I

247
00:14:21.750 --> 00:14:22.880
was rolling into the

248
00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:25.780
heel the pressure would move into the heel but the force would be going that

249
00:14:25.780 --> 00:14:27.920
way before that kind of

250
00:14:27.920 --> 00:14:32.850
ties them together because that's more of what we tend to see um with that lead

251
00:14:32.850 --> 00:14:34.000
leg in the

252
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:41.040
downswing especially during the release I see a lot of ladies who lack lead arm

253
00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:41.680
supination

254
00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:46.500
through the release is this pattern anything to do with strength or lack of is

255
00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:47.760
this a pattern

256
00:14:47.760 --> 00:14:53.860
that you see um for any specific reason um so answer to the first question is

257
00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:54.960
yes it is related

258
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:59.230
to strength it's primarily related to mid back strength so when we think of

259
00:14:59.230 --> 00:15:01.920
these um lever arms

260
00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:07.420
when the club gets far away from me kind of like this I'm using more of my

261
00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:08.720
shoulders you can see

262
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:13.600
here I'm using more of my shoulders and my back to absorb the force and that

263
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:14.800
easily supports

264
00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:19.990
that lead arm supination but if I start pulling in like if I had a cable

265
00:15:19.990 --> 00:15:21.120
machine I could pull

266
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:27.220
with my biceps if I start pulling in with my biceps I'm not going to have a lot

267
00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:28.160
of arm rotation

268
00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:32.760
there um because that would actually make the bicep pull weaker by putting it

269
00:15:32.760 --> 00:15:33.600
on more stretch

270
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:38.420
when I'm trying to shorten it so I would be pulling in kind of like this so

271
00:15:38.420 --> 00:15:39.760
when you see a lot of

272
00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:45.390
golfers pull in like this they're never going to have enough or um a high

273
00:15:45.390 --> 00:15:47.840
amount of supination

274
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:53.940
they will do more lead wrist flexion trail arm or sorry trail wrist flexion

275
00:15:53.940 --> 00:15:54.880
trail arm internal

276
00:15:54.880 --> 00:15:59.350
rotation lead arm pull in shrug where you're using more your upper back instead

277
00:15:59.350 --> 00:16:00.080
of your mid

278
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:06.700
and lower back um but you'll definitely see that with weaker golfers um and

279
00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:08.240
golfers who are a little

280
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:13.060
bit more upper body dominant so I tend to think that um some of the ladies

281
00:16:13.060 --> 00:16:14.880
pattern that we'll see

282
00:16:14.880 --> 00:16:18.810
and we can investigate it when we look at the the one uh lady who I have in the

283
00:16:18.810 --> 00:16:19.680
presentation

284
00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:24.080
and then the last point there was would it be possible to go back and

285
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.000
demonstrate um along with

286
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.440
some of my descriptions and the amateurs particularly the overturn and the

287
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.560
happy feet um so the overturn

288
00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:38.410
talked about if the arms are more in front you have no verticals and uh you'd

289
00:16:38.410 --> 00:16:39.920
be very steep um

290
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:49.920
so got a little note um we'll we'll talk about that uh in when I get to those

291
00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:50.720
people when we're

292
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:55.210
revisiting them I'll go back through what I said with happy feet and uh

293
00:16:55.210 --> 00:16:57.760
overturn and hopefully

294
00:16:57.760 --> 00:17:02.770
the demonstrations will be a little clearer this time but as a quick note if

295
00:17:02.770 --> 00:17:03.680
you if there's

296
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:06.200
something I say in this presentation or any of the past ones you'd like me to

297
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:07.040
go over again

298
00:17:07.040 --> 00:17:10.930
I've no problem revisiting it it'll be much easier for us to clarify them a

299
00:17:10.930 --> 00:17:11.520
second time

300
00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:17.760
okay so as we're moving back from here's where the release starts chef parallel

301
00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:19.120
and the downswing

302
00:17:19.120 --> 00:17:23.380
this is the purpose of today's presentation looking at the follow-through

303
00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:25.760
position um so from a I

304
00:17:25.760 --> 00:17:29.000
just want to throw this out there early in the presentation from a coaching

305
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.160
standpoint I use

306
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:39.020
the 9 to 3 a lot as a diagnostic so if I'm doing a good 9 to 3 and looks kind

307
00:17:39.020 --> 00:17:40.560
of like this the

308
00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:45.580
momentum of the club goes out wide and I'm able to stop at my 3 o'clock

309
00:17:45.580 --> 00:17:47.120
position if on the other

310
00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:53.220
hand I tend to pull more up with my arms you can see even with this super light

311
00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:54.720
super short club

312
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:59.090
it's really hard to stop there if I'm pulling more up and in with my arms I'm

313
00:17:59.090 --> 00:17:59.840
at least going to get

314
00:17:59.840 --> 00:18:06.240
to vertical so as I have golfers get better at their 9 to 3s I'll demonstrate

315
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:07.600
you know I want you

316
00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:12.250
being able to hit you know 8 irons 150 yards or whatever you know hitting it

317
00:18:12.250 --> 00:18:13.440
pretty much as hard

318
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.320
and as far as you can while being able to still stop at that follow-through

319
00:18:17.320 --> 00:18:19.040
position that's a good

320
00:18:19.040 --> 00:18:23.870
sign that you're bracing and using your body I know the golfing machine they

321
00:18:23.870 --> 00:18:25.200
call it like a

322
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:29.600
braking drill or something like that I think that's a great way to assess how

323
00:18:29.600 --> 00:18:31.280
good you're bracing and

324
00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:37.970
core drive is through the release so I use this position to work on the

325
00:18:37.970 --> 00:18:40.320
sequence of the body through

326
00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:44.860
impact and I use this to work on path checkpoints to make sure that the club

327
00:18:44.860 --> 00:18:46.880
isn't way over to the

328
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:51.270
left or way over to the right that it's pretty much out in front of the hands

329
00:18:51.270 --> 00:18:52.400
and I use it to look

330
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:59.160
at clubface position I use it to look at spine angle a lot so oftentimes you'll

331
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:00.160
see this shoulder

332
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:06.260
coming up spine getting more vertical that's overly shallow so that facilitates

333
00:19:06.260 --> 00:19:06.720
some extra

334
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:13.330
steep arm movements etc so I use this bracing bracing position idea quite a bit

335
00:19:13.330 --> 00:19:14.800
in my instruction

336
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:23.780
the overall goal for that PA position is max arc arc width right around then a

337
00:19:23.780 --> 00:19:24.400
little bit before

338
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.720
then close to it with the driver a little before it with the irons elbow

339
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.240
separation I like to see

340
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:35.490
the gap between the shoulder or the elbows getting closer now part of that I'll

341
00:19:35.490 --> 00:19:37.600
explain to the student

342
00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:42.160
comes from the supination and the rotation so if my arms are kind of like this

343
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:43.280
in delivery

344
00:19:43.280 --> 00:19:48.980
then as they extend out in front and as they kind of roll over this is as close

345
00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:50.080
as I can get my elbows

346
00:19:50.080 --> 00:19:54.940
together one of the interesting things I found was when I first started looking

347
00:19:54.940 --> 00:19:56.000
at 3D and I looked

348
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.520
at the elbow separation gap a lot of the good ball strikers had a closing of

349
00:20:00.520 --> 00:20:01.760
the gap from impact

350
00:20:01.760 --> 00:20:07.430
to follow through of about four inches or so and many of the amateurs it would

351
00:20:07.430 --> 00:20:09.440
be like they would

352
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:14.420
get wider so that was one of the initial things that I kind of started playing

353
00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:15.600
around with with

354
00:20:15.600 --> 00:20:18.800
the release and the idea of how can I get them to extend their arms and get

355
00:20:18.800 --> 00:20:19.840
those elbows closer

356
00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:25.340
together bracing versus coasting comes down to kind of the timing of the force

357
00:20:25.340 --> 00:20:26.240
and whether

358
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:31.200
I'm using the big muscles of my body so if I'm using my hips my core my lats

359
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.200
that's going through

360
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.040
that phase that's going to tend to create this look of connection and smooth

361
00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:38.720
ness if I'm using more

362
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:44.080
tricep bicep shoulder muscles and quads in my knees that's going to tend to

363
00:20:44.080 --> 00:20:45.760
look a little bit more

364
00:20:45.760 --> 00:20:54.150
kind of flippish so I do I use coasting a lot in the short game where it's kind

365
00:20:54.150 --> 00:20:54.720
of a really

366
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:59.120
smooth brace but with impact I tend to or with the full swing I tend to use

367
00:20:59.120 --> 00:21:00.560
more of this bracing

368
00:21:00.560 --> 00:21:05.380
while delivering the blow as a way to kind of get the the hips and the core

369
00:21:05.380 --> 00:21:06.320
more involved

370
00:21:07.520 --> 00:21:13.620
p8 is also where I like to see max trail side bend and max axis tilt with the

371
00:21:13.620 --> 00:21:14.800
driver anyway so

372
00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:21.840
trail side bend with everything even wedges where basically this is going to be

373
00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:23.840
its most down at

374
00:21:23.840 --> 00:21:28.300
this point a lot of students get their most down kind of right about right

375
00:21:28.300 --> 00:21:29.520
through impact and then

376
00:21:29.520 --> 00:21:34.970
they start coming up very quickly that can cause more of the early face closing

377
00:21:34.970 --> 00:21:36.240
more of a left miss

378
00:21:37.520 --> 00:21:43.240
or that can contribute to some diggy kind of thin contacts and potentially some

379
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:44.560
shanks seen before

380
00:21:44.560 --> 00:21:52.720
from the face on this p8 is where we'll see the maximum upper body behind the

381
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:53.600
lower body

382
00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:57.580
before the momentum the club helps pull it a little bit forward so that's where

383
00:21:57.580 --> 00:21:58.160
I'm really

384
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:02.070
seeing this bracing action of the upper body going this way in order to

385
00:22:02.070 --> 00:22:03.360
accommodate the arm

386
00:22:03.360 --> 00:22:13.270
extension to create that flat spot all right so here are some pictures that I

387
00:22:13.270 --> 00:22:15.040
use in a presentation

388
00:22:15.040 --> 00:22:21.140
I do for for students when I'm talking about phases of the swing here just a

389
00:22:21.140 --> 00:22:23.360
couple spectrums of

390
00:22:23.360 --> 00:22:28.810
you know seeing the general picture of with the irons upper body fairly stacked

391
00:22:28.810 --> 00:22:30.000
upper body turn

392
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.830
trail shoulder down arms extended and elbows close together not as much sup

393
00:22:34.830 --> 00:22:36.080
ination on this one compared

394
00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:41.800
to this one but classically this is one of the positions that I like to study

395
00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:43.760
it reveals you know

396
00:22:43.760 --> 00:22:47.890
how much am I doing from the hips and how how much am I doing from the knees

397
00:22:47.890 --> 00:22:49.760
and how we'll dig into

398
00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:56.650
some of these details today but students quickly start to see the space and the

399
00:22:56.650 --> 00:22:58.320
straightness of the

400
00:22:58.320 --> 00:23:04.000
arms compared to what they're doing and then especially you know some of your

401
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:05.200
some of your

402
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:10.700
older men or more upper body dominant swings where you see more of either that

403
00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:10.960
look there

404
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:16.000
where the hips are back and the shoulders are forward and way high compared to

405
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:16.480
seeing a little

406
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:22.780
bit more of this axis tilt so the arm straightness the supination of the axis

407
00:23:22.780 --> 00:23:23.760
tilt they use these

408
00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:29.860
pictures and the trail shoulder being down sorry it's four um tend to use this

409
00:23:29.860 --> 00:23:31.280
little picture collage

410
00:23:31.280 --> 00:23:40.660
as a good way to communicate that goal okay so allen here we go if we take him

411
00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:42.400
to that follow

412
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:46.870
through position so if I'm quickly just running through the little checks check

413
00:23:46.870 --> 00:23:47.760
points there's some

414
00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:53.790
some angles the arms aren't fully straight um the lead arm is bending and kind

415
00:23:53.790 --> 00:23:54.880
of the

416
00:23:54.880 --> 00:24:01.120
lead shoulder is pulling around the club has passed the chest um so

417
00:24:01.120 --> 00:24:08.420
you can kind of see as we go as we scrub through that zone there there's a lot

418
00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:09.520
more movement if you

419
00:24:09.520 --> 00:24:13.180
go back to one of my first ideas which is what's moving what's not there's a

420
00:24:13.180 --> 00:24:14.320
lot more movement at

421
00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:20.930
the wrists and arms than there is at the hips if we look at the hips we can see

422
00:24:20.930 --> 00:24:21.840
there's not a lot

423
00:24:21.840 --> 00:24:27.510
of vertical movement there's not a lot of straightening of that trail hip or

424
00:24:27.510 --> 00:24:29.040
trail leg and if we look

425
00:24:29.040 --> 00:24:35.870
at the foot you can see that right foot is just kind of rotating ideally when

426
00:24:35.870 --> 00:24:37.680
we get into the

427
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:44.320
verticals there um verticals help create side bend so um the vertical movement

428
00:24:44.320 --> 00:24:46.800
of the of the legs

429
00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:55.040
helps create this tilt as I'm turning and so when I do that combination of tilt

430
00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:56.000
and and tilt

431
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:01.000
you'll tend to see that my back foot is going to have a little sequence to it

432
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:02.320
where it's going to

433
00:25:03.040 --> 00:25:09.140
roll and then it's going to extend and then as the club passes here then it's

434
00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:10.560
going to pivot

435
00:25:10.560 --> 00:25:16.660
I don't like to see kind of that movement there where essentially I'm you know

436
00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:17.200
baseball squishing

437
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:22.870
the bug I'm turning the body um more so than pushing vertically through that

438
00:25:22.870 --> 00:25:23.600
leg we're not

439
00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:27.730
seeing a ton of vertical movement through that leg um this goes back to what I

440
00:25:27.730 --> 00:25:28.960
said last time about

441
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:36.700
the uh the overturned guy in the garage the more that I get the arms behind me

442
00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:37.920
like this

443
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:44.640
if I then added a lot of vertical this would tend to bottom out way back here

444
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:45.280
so if I have

445
00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:49.880
the arms way behind me and then I create a lot of verticals the this is going

446
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:51.040
to get kicked out

447
00:25:51.040 --> 00:25:56.120
and it's going to bottom out um a foot behind the ball or so so oftentimes you

448
00:25:56.120 --> 00:25:57.840
'll see this is behind

449
00:25:57.840 --> 00:26:02.660
and then it has to kind of like slide and be more of an upper body dominant

450
00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:03.840
release not very good

451
00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:10.180
bracing similarly if I have my arms in front like this it's the verticals that

452
00:26:10.180 --> 00:26:12.160
help get the club to

453
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:18.300
come out and create the side bend to then shallow it out if I was on top of it

454
00:26:18.300 --> 00:26:20.000
like this and then

455
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:26.340
really release the hands um I would tend to be too steep um because I wouldn't

456
00:26:26.340 --> 00:26:28.000
have enough side bend

457
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:37.030
because of the over dominant arm action and the lack of verticals would show up

458
00:26:37.030 --> 00:26:37.840
in this kind of

459
00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:44.240
lead leg buckle so typically you get the arms behind forward buckle or you get

460
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:45.440
the arms in front

461
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:50.800
ability to go more verticals both of those create kind of a similar bottom the

462
00:26:50.800 --> 00:26:51.280
swing

463
00:26:51.280 --> 00:26:56.520
righted impact but one of them has the the flat spot or the width point much

464
00:26:56.520 --> 00:26:58.640
later um so keep

465
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:02.960
that in mind when we take a look at this overturn hopefully that answers the

466
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.920
the email question as

467
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:12.020
far as can you demonstrate what I meant by that we'll see it here in two clips

468
00:27:12.020 --> 00:27:14.160
all right so now

469
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.450
we got mr happy fee he was one that we wanted to kind of take a look at so I

470
00:27:18.450 --> 00:27:20.240
mentioned in the last

471
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:26.340
one that there's some elbow separation um that would be looking at the space

472
00:27:26.340 --> 00:27:28.960
between the elbows

473
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:35.840
right in here and so he's clearly getting wider kind of more like that

474
00:27:35.840 --> 00:27:41.360
or that that's probably about where the elbows are closest together and then

475
00:27:41.360 --> 00:27:42.160
they're definitely

476
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:46.630
wider through there um that has more of the wedge look that I was talking about

477
00:27:46.630 --> 00:27:48.240
um club kind of

478
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.130
pointing at the belt buckle arms on the sides that's kind of a classic wedge

479
00:27:52.130 --> 00:27:55.360
look um it talked about

480
00:27:55.360 --> 00:28:01.610
the low body rotation magically there's the down line okay I talked about the

481
00:28:01.610 --> 00:28:02.960
low body rotation

482
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:09.820
and this is a point that I think is helpful to understand so um if I get good

483
00:28:09.820 --> 00:28:10.480
in down the line

484
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:14.470
here the more that the back is faced this way and the club is out in front this

485
00:28:14.470 --> 00:28:15.360
looks like it's

486
00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:22.120
uh kind of on plane or um you know pointing at the target but if I was to keep

487
00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:22.640
my arms the

488
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:27.830
same and rotate my body that would be a steep position I would need to have my

489
00:28:27.830 --> 00:28:28.800
arms in more of

490
00:28:28.800 --> 00:28:34.880
this shallow to rotated position in order to accommodate more body rotation so

491
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:36.400
if I take someone to

492
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:43.200
their delivery position right there and I can still see the chest I can still

493
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:43.840
see the chest

494
00:28:43.840 --> 00:28:50.450
this way then I know that the body is on a more shallow pattern and so the arms

495
00:28:50.450 --> 00:28:51.120
are inherently

496
00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:55.310
more steep that's either going to be from kind of vertical movement or lack of

497
00:28:55.310 --> 00:28:56.400
rotation usually

498
00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:04.500
both um so that's why he could get more early early ulnar deviation or more arm

499
00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:05.360
rotation to

500
00:29:05.360 --> 00:29:11.560
shallow that out and that would facilitate or require more uh body rotation to

501
00:29:11.560 --> 00:29:12.720
get the club

502
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:19.090
in pretty much the same uh same position there so the club position the body

503
00:29:19.090 --> 00:29:20.480
rotation the arm

504
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:29.030
shallowing all kind of fit uh fit together to help create how they organize the

505
00:29:29.030 --> 00:29:30.320
steeps and shallows

506
00:29:31.840 --> 00:29:38.240
so now if I get to this P8 and kind of scrub back and forth you can see there's

507
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:39.040
some vertical

508
00:29:39.040 --> 00:29:43.310
movement happening at the hips not much at the ankle but that's not the end of

509
00:29:43.310 --> 00:29:44.480
the world there's

510
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:49.360
a chance you know he might have some ankle issues going on there um but from

511
00:29:49.360 --> 00:29:50.640
then down the line

512
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:57.520
we can see how vertical if I'm looking at the amount of side bend being the

513
00:29:57.520 --> 00:29:59.440
most it's definitely

514
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:06.580
uh decreasing as he's going through from somewhere you know right around there

515
00:30:06.580 --> 00:30:07.680
that shoulder is coming

516
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:13.780
up um as opposed to staying down and through or increasing that that trail

517
00:30:13.780 --> 00:30:15.280
shoulder side bend

518
00:30:15.280 --> 00:30:20.230
all the way through the release um so his bracing pattern is going a little bit

519
00:30:20.230 --> 00:30:21.440
more in this stand-up

520
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:26.910
move and shrug move that's what creates this look of that shoulder being high

521
00:30:26.910 --> 00:30:27.920
and the elbows

522
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:35.680
creating their extra whip so doing some merry-go-round or head on a pillow um

523
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:36.080
might be

524
00:30:36.080 --> 00:30:41.300
useful for helping create that flat spot so the club wouldn't be coming up

525
00:30:41.300 --> 00:30:42.400
quite so quickly

526
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:50.160
but again I always caution practicing out of rough all the time is really a

527
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:50.720
challenge for

528
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:56.070
creating ideal low point conditions I'll leave it at that all right so now we

529
00:30:56.070 --> 00:30:56.560
got the

530
00:30:56.560 --> 00:31:04.300
overturned in the garage um and this is where I talked about last time okay the

531
00:31:04.300 --> 00:31:05.280
arms are back

532
00:31:05.280 --> 00:31:10.550
behind the shoulder which allows the body to go forward if I was in this

533
00:31:10.550 --> 00:31:11.840
position there

534
00:31:11.840 --> 00:31:18.960
so if I was kind of slid forward a little bit and the arms way behind my body

535
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:20.320
if I added a lot of

536
00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:24.560
vertical force that would cause the club to kick out more and because the arms

537
00:31:24.560 --> 00:31:25.840
are behind my body

538
00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:34.560
it would cause the club to bottom out there as opposed to and so we'll see he

539
00:31:34.560 --> 00:31:35.840
doesn't do a lot

540
00:31:35.840 --> 00:31:40.840
of verticals from the legs you get some vertical pull happening more at the

541
00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:42.000
wrist and he just kind

542
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:46.960
of slides that low point further and further forward to avoid hitting it fat

543
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.200
probably hits a

544
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:56.040
lot of thin shots probably hits a lot of left shots would be classic um so if

545
00:31:56.040 --> 00:31:57.120
we started by

546
00:31:57.120 --> 00:32:01.940
working on a delivery position getting into good delivery he would have a whole

547
00:32:01.940 --> 00:32:03.840
he would have a

548
00:32:03.840 --> 00:32:08.720
really hard time doing it correctly until he started to get more of that

549
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:10.560
vertical movement

550
00:32:10.560 --> 00:32:15.840
of the legs creating the side bend to deliver the club down the ball instead of

551
00:32:15.840 --> 00:32:16.800
doing it all with

552
00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:28.370
this wrist um from the down the line we can see that elbow getting behind that

553
00:32:28.370 --> 00:32:29.200
trail leg going

554
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:36.560
into more of that kind of launch but even though the the foot is coming way off

555
00:32:36.560 --> 00:32:38.560
the ground you can

556
00:32:38.560 --> 00:32:42.460
see that the height of the pelvis doesn't really increase through there now he

557
00:32:42.460 --> 00:32:43.440
probably gets his

558
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:51.180
max side bend there um but it's a little bit more um kind of early extension

559
00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:52.800
pattern where that leg

560
00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:58.900
and that trail hip it's not getting a whole lot of extension through the trail

561
00:32:58.900 --> 00:33:00.720
hip um this follow

562
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.280
through position is a good place to look at that how much the the knee is

563
00:33:05.280 --> 00:33:06.880
behind the pelvis or in

564
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:11.700
front of it um that can show you whether the hip is going into more extension

565
00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:12.800
or more flexion

566
00:33:13.360 --> 00:33:20.400
um so basically he's kind of keeping that hip inflection there as opposed to

567
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:21.360
getting some glute

568
00:33:21.360 --> 00:33:26.810
squeeze and some extension through there um so he would be a good candidate for

569
00:33:26.810 --> 00:33:27.840
some trail leg

570
00:33:27.840 --> 00:33:35.040
hip action or some trail leg bracing um but hopefully that clears up why i was

571
00:33:35.040 --> 00:33:35.680
talking about

572
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:39.060
those verticals when you're doing delivery and go and getting your hands in

573
00:33:39.060 --> 00:33:40.560
front um part of the

574
00:33:40.560 --> 00:33:44.690
trick there is you have to time the vertical and the pivot uh in order to get

575
00:33:44.690 --> 00:33:45.760
solid contact because

576
00:33:45.760 --> 00:33:48.710
you've put them in a position where they can't do it very easily just with the

577
00:33:48.710 --> 00:33:51.600
wrist okay so

578
00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:58.320
maybe this is a good place where we can talk about that lack of supination um

579
00:33:58.320 --> 00:34:00.560
again part of that goes

580
00:34:00.560 --> 00:34:09.280
to uh if you're overly pulling in right kind of pulling the club in this way um

581
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:10.240
which is a form

582
00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:18.060
of creating that normal or vertical force you'll tend to see the arms bend and

583
00:34:18.060 --> 00:34:20.080
separate and when

584
00:34:20.080 --> 00:34:24.900
they bend and separate um they're gonna tend to stay more in internal rotation

585
00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:27.040
like this um and

586
00:34:27.040 --> 00:34:32.230
you're gonna tend to act be activating your wrist flexors which is going to

587
00:34:32.230 --> 00:34:33.840
prevent some of this

588
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:41.840
uh supination and rotation so let's look at this p8 position we can see the

589
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:43.760
upper body is on top

590
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:49.860
or kind of forward of the lower body so there's not a lot of tilt i would be

591
00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:51.280
using the the pictures

592
00:34:52.080 --> 00:34:56.720
to show us trying to get into this position and the more that you stay flexed

593
00:34:56.720 --> 00:34:57.680
forward the more that

594
00:34:57.680 --> 00:35:00.880
you're going to have to use your arms to create height because if the arms kept

595
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:02.320
extending um they

596
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:06.270
wouldn't be able to get up any higher it's part of that body extension that

597
00:35:06.270 --> 00:35:07.600
helps bring the arms up

598
00:35:07.600 --> 00:35:14.940
through kind of that mid follow through range if we scrub if we scrub back and

599
00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:16.880
forth you can see

600
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:22.980
not a lot happening with that wrist uh the wrist supination not a lot of

601
00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:23.360
vertical

602
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:29.600
force going on more of the movement is rotation of the scapular girdle you can

603
00:35:29.600 --> 00:35:30.400
see at this point

604
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:37.570
how far that arm is behind um so basically at that point how far that elbow has

605
00:35:37.570 --> 00:35:39.680
gone behind the body

606
00:35:39.680 --> 00:35:44.500
it's kind of pulling around like this as opposed to using more the hip movement

607
00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:45.440
and working on some

608
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:50.000
arm structure or arm connection uh would probably help so this is where she

609
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:51.040
would have a really

610
00:35:51.040 --> 00:35:57.270
hard time stopping at a nine to three she would want to go at least up until

611
00:35:57.270 --> 00:36:00.000
about there um in

612
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.340
order to stop until she learned how to keep her arms a little bit more uh

613
00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:05.760
straight and kind of

614
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.490
passive and control the movement a little bit more with her bigger muscles okay

615
00:36:09.490 --> 00:36:10.480
so with this

616
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:14.390
guy we're going to look at the coming out of posture limited ulnar trail hip

617
00:36:14.390 --> 00:36:15.360
lower trail leg

618
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:21.710
not straight so looking at that p8 position you can see that even in his

619
00:36:21.710 --> 00:36:24.000
practice swings here

620
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:31.350
that shoulder is finishing much higher and more uh level so you'll see it's

621
00:36:31.350 --> 00:36:32.400
down in a pretty good

622
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:36.990
side bend there but um there's a little bit of kind of trail runoff where that

623
00:36:36.990 --> 00:36:37.680
shoulder

624
00:36:39.200 --> 00:36:45.840
is coming up and over so he probably hits some pull hooks as his main complaint

625
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:52.450
probably hit some more fat and thin though because of the lack of verticals we

626
00:36:52.450 --> 00:36:53.520
can see that the belt

627
00:36:53.520 --> 00:37:00.560
kind of stays sag doesn't have a whole lot of lift through there um because the

628
00:37:00.560 --> 00:37:01.680
legs are working

629
00:37:01.680 --> 00:37:07.910
more in a slide and rotate but not much of the vertical now he's in a position

630
00:37:07.910 --> 00:37:08.800
that he could

631
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:14.380
use some vertical but he gets a pretty pronounced straightening of that trail

632
00:37:14.380 --> 00:37:15.840
arm as opposed to

633
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:21.470
getting more of the body more of the hit from the shoulder coming down because

634
00:37:21.470 --> 00:37:23.760
it's that the leg

635
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:29.860
extension that helps create the side bend um coupled with the kind of ab

636
00:37:29.860 --> 00:37:31.280
rotation that brings the

637
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:37.890
arm down while delaying the straightening of it so he looks like he's trying to

638
00:37:37.890 --> 00:37:38.960
hold that back but

639
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:44.150
then right around here instead of getting that shoulder down using the vertical

640
00:37:44.150 --> 00:37:45.120
s he gets it down

641
00:37:45.120 --> 00:37:49.940
more with the arm so then he uh kind of slides forward to help move that low

642
00:37:49.940 --> 00:37:51.760
point forward that

643
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:57.860
creates um or feeds the the contact pattern that we're probably seeing here so

644
00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:59.600
he might be able

645
00:37:59.600 --> 00:38:08.090
to stop his swing there um but he would have a hard time stopping there with he

646
00:38:08.090 --> 00:38:08.560
would have a

647
00:38:08.560 --> 00:38:14.040
hard time not hitting a fat if we worked on getting some leg extension through

648
00:38:14.040 --> 00:38:14.560
there

649
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:22.420
okay so now if we look at some p8s from some pros and kind of scrub back and

650
00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:23.520
forth you'll see

651
00:38:23.520 --> 00:38:31.440
a blend of movements you'll see some good extension in this trail hip compared

652
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:32.320
to the belt you can

653
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:37.770
see that the the glute is pretty active from the space on view um you'll see

654
00:38:37.770 --> 00:38:40.080
from the down the line

655
00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:46.060
the the shoulder and the side bend continues to increase so this is pointing

656
00:38:46.060 --> 00:38:47.200
kind of down towards

657
00:38:47.200 --> 00:38:53.810
the ground instead of elevated um and you'll see the club staying wide which

658
00:38:53.810 --> 00:38:55.840
typically if you're

659
00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:59.840
doing that with speed you're going to have some supination uh so I always say

660
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:01.680
that the supination

661
00:39:01.680 --> 00:39:06.600
is happening more from width and extension than it is from like like actively

662
00:39:06.600 --> 00:39:08.000
rolling those

663
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.160
forearms over is that I'm coming from this rotated position and I'm extending

664
00:39:12.160 --> 00:39:13.280
it out and the momentum

665
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:19.380
tends to uh carry it over if I if I force it kind of rolling it over um I'll

666
00:39:19.380 --> 00:39:20.880
typically do it a little

667
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:27.250
bit too soon messing up my contact um he's got a pretty good timing of you'll

668
00:39:27.250 --> 00:39:30.080
see the verticals

669
00:39:30.080 --> 00:39:35.020
coincide with when his body is going into more right side bend down at the

670
00:39:35.020 --> 00:39:36.000
bottom on the way

671
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:42.240
through and that helps delay that right arm extension I think Rory's got some

672
00:39:42.240 --> 00:39:43.280
of the best

673
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:51.290
vertical movement in the game um then you'll see some good frame rate in this

674
00:39:51.290 --> 00:39:51.920
clip

675
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:58.830
so right around now he's starting to go into that more of that vertical

676
00:39:58.830 --> 00:40:00.880
movement of that belt

677
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:05.930
as that shoulder continues to go down um that's a tough movement at first uh

678
00:40:05.930 --> 00:40:07.360
but it's really core

679
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:13.560
driven um meaning so the easiest thing would be if my hips extended my upper

680
00:40:13.560 --> 00:40:14.800
body would want to

681
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:20.900
extend but if I turned that into rotation then as my hip extends this and this

682
00:40:20.900 --> 00:40:22.080
shoulder goes down

683
00:40:22.080 --> 00:40:26.990
I'm going to feel a really good side crunch in that right side um that's

684
00:40:26.990 --> 00:40:28.880
tendency to or that's a

685
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:33.440
reflection of using my obliques using my core um pretty confident that he's

686
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:34.400
feeling that right

687
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:39.230
there uh when we're looking at uh supination some other views I've seen you

688
00:40:39.230 --> 00:40:40.240
know his forms are

689
00:40:40.240 --> 00:40:45.680
pretty close to touching if not touching at that point um out in front of the

690
00:40:45.680 --> 00:40:46.160
chest

691
00:40:46.160 --> 00:40:56.880
you can see as I continue to go through how much that trail leg is in a hip

692
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:58.720
extended position

693
00:40:58.720 --> 00:41:05.330
so he's not getting this leg back by overly arching his back so he's not in

694
00:41:05.330 --> 00:41:06.320
kind of

695
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:11.380
that position there he's getting it more from the extension of the hip and that

696
00:41:11.380 --> 00:41:12.080
's why you can see

697
00:41:12.080 --> 00:41:19.550
the butt muscles really uh kind of pronouncedly contracting in that point it's

698
00:41:19.550 --> 00:41:20.240
more of a

699
00:41:20.240 --> 00:41:25.280
glute squeeze hopefully rather than a quad dominant leg extension and because

700
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:25.760
it's happening

701
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:32.370
more at the hip the foot gets pulled around into rotation as opposed to being

702
00:41:32.370 --> 00:41:34.240
actively pull

703
00:41:34.240 --> 00:41:41.310
actively contracted and pushed into rotation from the down the line we'll be

704
00:41:41.310 --> 00:41:42.720
able to see

705
00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:50.960
that max right side bend kind of right around there um and we'll be able to see

706
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:52.560
timing of that

707
00:41:52.560 --> 00:41:59.630
right leg and how the hip pulls the ankle around as opposed to um the foot and

708
00:41:59.630 --> 00:42:01.200
the knee kind of

709
00:42:01.200 --> 00:42:09.070
driving oftentimes uh when you see that that foot come up um when you see the

710
00:42:09.070 --> 00:42:10.080
foot kind of

711
00:42:10.080 --> 00:42:15.140
coming up more this way it's more of an ankle and a knee driven motion as

712
00:42:15.140 --> 00:42:16.880
opposed to if I'm pushing

713
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:21.700
more from the the hip then it will tend to go into more of this banking

714
00:42:21.700 --> 00:42:23.120
movement so

715
00:42:23.120 --> 00:42:29.760
really important movement there for a good bracing position um is getting the

716
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:30.720
the hips to kind of

717
00:42:30.720 --> 00:42:36.380
bridge or or posterior tilt um that's getting some hip extension with coupled

718
00:42:36.380 --> 00:42:37.840
with that external

719
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:43.030
rotation that's what creates this really long leg but pelvis still facing the

720
00:42:43.030 --> 00:42:45.440
target okay can't see

721
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:55.920
is feet completely um but the classic sam sneeze squat coupled with some really

722
00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:56.160
good

723
00:42:56.160 --> 00:43:02.770
banking and leg bracing so again you can see compared to the pelvis the knee

724
00:43:02.770 --> 00:43:05.200
behind um behind

725
00:43:05.200 --> 00:43:10.520
the pelvis not necessarily behind the spine um as in just make sure that it's

726
00:43:10.520 --> 00:43:11.840
not happening in the

727
00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:15.970
lumbar spine or in the lower back but he's getting good hip extension that's

728
00:43:15.970 --> 00:43:17.120
more of a trail glute

729
00:43:17.120 --> 00:43:25.840
active position he's also done a great job if we come to this p8 of creating

730
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:27.120
this axis tilt

731
00:43:27.120 --> 00:43:36.500
and if we bump through you can see it just has this look of the club being

732
00:43:36.500 --> 00:43:37.360
pulled out away

733
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:42.810
and his arms kind of going with it as they rotate as opposed to him pulling

734
00:43:42.810 --> 00:43:43.280
back in

735
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:48.560
that's part of why i think people call it the release because it has this

736
00:43:48.560 --> 00:43:49.600
feeling of kind of

737
00:43:49.600 --> 00:43:53.800
throwing the club or letting the arms go um and that'll happen if you're

738
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:55.040
powering the movement

739
00:43:55.040 --> 00:44:01.240
more with your hips your abs your lats um as opposed to powering it more with

740
00:44:01.240 --> 00:44:02.400
your triceps

741
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:09.240
deltoids pecs you know some of these big pushing muscles um as well as if you

742
00:44:09.240 --> 00:44:10.640
're bracing a lot

743
00:44:10.640 --> 00:44:15.220
with your knees so the fluidness comes from using your core um but this is a

744
00:44:15.220 --> 00:44:16.000
really good

745
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:24.800
checkpoint in position for most golfers to try to refine okay so i know i often

746
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:25.920
start at impact

747
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:33.120
or the follow the low point line but clinically i do a lot of training starting

748
00:44:33.120 --> 00:44:34.160
at this follow

749
00:44:34.160 --> 00:44:38.570
through position with nine to threes and kind of refining here especially for

750
00:44:38.570 --> 00:44:39.920
your higher handicap

751
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:46.210
golfers giving them both a place to go and some checkpoints to compare contact

752
00:44:46.210 --> 00:44:47.280
and ball flight

753
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:53.380
against can be really powerful in terms of you know kind of coming up with a

754
00:44:53.380 --> 00:44:54.720
recipe that allows

755
00:44:54.720 --> 00:44:58.380
them to feel like they can fix their problems so when we're scanning those

756
00:44:58.380 --> 00:44:59.920
pictures uh you're

757
00:44:59.920 --> 00:45:05.260
looking for the shoulder position the scapular connection um how quickly they

758
00:45:05.260 --> 00:45:06.560
've rehinged we saw

759
00:45:06.560 --> 00:45:10.460
with sam steamed there's kind of this like floating look of those arms getting

760
00:45:10.460 --> 00:45:11.840
pulled by the club

761
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:17.920
that's classic good bracing elbows getting together good supination good arm

762
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:17.920
width

763
00:45:19.120 --> 00:45:24.310
abs and core we want the glutes uh especially that trail glute um i could be a

764
00:45:24.310 --> 00:45:24.960
little bit better

765
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:28.490
there uh but i had some treatment a couple of weeks ago i'd probably be a

766
00:45:28.490 --> 00:45:29.600
little bit better if we

767
00:45:29.600 --> 00:45:35.340
did it if i retook the pictures today um but glutes versus hip versus hip flex

768
00:45:35.340 --> 00:45:36.560
ors so that's a

769
00:45:36.560 --> 00:45:43.360
good key area to scan in on hip extension versus flexion so looking at you know

770
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:44.240
what's going on at

771
00:45:44.240 --> 00:45:49.430
the pelvis compared to this leg that's a good place to kind of get a sense of

772
00:45:49.430 --> 00:45:50.000
what chains

773
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:56.320
at the pelvis the golfers using t-spine extension versus flexion um mine might

774
00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:57.200
be a little bit more

775
00:45:57.200 --> 00:46:02.440
flex than we'd want which is part of why you see a little extra protraction um

776
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:03.600
where the shoulder

777
00:46:03.600 --> 00:46:09.220
is going this way that's hard to do if the if the t-spine is more extended but

778
00:46:09.220 --> 00:46:11.280
that's a good

779
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:15.600
kind of place to get a snapshot of what's happening uh you can also look to see

780
00:46:15.600 --> 00:46:15.920
if the

781
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:20.750
shoulders are shrugged up especially on golfers pulling in um that can be you

782
00:46:20.750 --> 00:46:21.920
know a potential

783
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:26.750
neck or arm issue uh if golfers are kind of shrugging and pulling in to create

784
00:46:26.750 --> 00:46:27.120
the normal

785
00:46:27.120 --> 00:46:31.940
force as opposed to leaning back and using the hips and then looking at that

786
00:46:31.940 --> 00:46:33.440
foot connection so

787
00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:37.360
in where are they in the lead foot as far as from the face-on view looking at

788
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:38.560
the weight distribution

789
00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:44.660
you should be able to see kind of the inside of the toes um versus pivoting too

790
00:46:44.660 --> 00:46:45.280
much on the toe

791
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.570
which would be more of a knee dominant movement and then looking at are the

792
00:46:49.570 --> 00:46:50.400
legs straightening

793
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:55.360
and the belt rising or are they kind of staying level or even sagging so a few

794
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:56.640
places to scan there

795
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:06.150
so if we're looking at this follow-through position there's a look of a little

796
00:47:06.150 --> 00:47:07.120
bit excessive

797
00:47:07.120 --> 00:47:16.500
um kind of movement here in the lower back versus extension rotation of the

798
00:47:16.500 --> 00:47:19.120
trail leg um because

799
00:47:19.120 --> 00:47:25.220
compared to the the leg the pelvis is just a little bit more tilted forward

800
00:47:25.220 --> 00:47:26.480
there it's not bad

801
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:34.100
but he's good so we got to kind of nitpick these things um and then it appears

802
00:47:34.100 --> 00:47:34.560
like it's

803
00:47:34.560 --> 00:47:40.660
snapping more at the knees as opposed to the hips because the knees are getting

804
00:47:40.660 --> 00:47:41.680
closer to full

805
00:47:41.680 --> 00:47:49.440
end range of motion um rather than the the hips at that point so the hips

806
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:50.480
extending would kind of

807
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:56.230
have a look more of that where the knees extending would have more of a look

808
00:47:56.230 --> 00:47:57.040
kind of like that you

809
00:47:57.040 --> 00:48:01.680
can see that when I extend the knees that energy doesn't move my core quite the

810
00:48:01.680 --> 00:48:02.400
same way as when

811
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:08.500
I extend my hips that second time so um we talked about how there's a little

812
00:48:08.500 --> 00:48:09.520
look of not using the

813
00:48:09.520 --> 00:48:13.700
core kind of through there and then there's a second look of maybe not using

814
00:48:13.700 --> 00:48:14.800
the core quite as

815
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:21.050
well uh through through that release position potentially maybe just a little

816
00:48:21.050 --> 00:48:23.120
kind of lead arm

817
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:28.880
retraction around there early but that often you know if you're not going to

818
00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:29.600
pull with your hips

819
00:48:29.600 --> 00:48:32.550
then you got to pull with something so you might be pulling a little bit more

820
00:48:32.550 --> 00:48:33.360
with the shoulder

821
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:39.760
girdle uh but overall some really good pieces looks like he gets into max side

822
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:40.720
bend there

823
00:48:40.720 --> 00:48:47.830
looks like he gets into good arm extension and width good supination with the

824
00:48:47.830 --> 00:48:49.360
better players

825
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:53.600
it's more important to be able to look for some of these little fine details uh

826
00:48:53.600 --> 00:48:54.240
and know how to

827
00:48:54.240 --> 00:48:58.840
correct them and tweak them all right our man brooks um we remember from last

828
00:48:58.840 --> 00:48:59.200
time

829
00:48:59.200 --> 00:49:04.390
he's got like decent arm extension through there but there's very little body

830
00:49:04.390 --> 00:49:05.680
movement this is much

831
00:49:05.680 --> 00:49:11.780
more of a shoulder dominant and um it kind of looks to me this is shrugging

832
00:49:11.780 --> 00:49:13.200
more than that it looks

833
00:49:13.200 --> 00:49:17.500
like this is rotating more than that looks like it's more of just an upper body

834
00:49:17.500 --> 00:49:18.720
right arm kind of

835
00:49:18.720 --> 00:49:25.040
throw uh pattern um so he does some of that transition to kind of load that

836
00:49:25.040 --> 00:49:25.680
throw

837
00:49:25.680 --> 00:49:31.920
but he would be one where if i gave him the task of okay i want you to stop it

838
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:32.880
follow through

839
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:37.920
there's no way i would stand past it and comfortably feel that he'd be able to

840
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:39.600
brace and stop there

841
00:49:39.600 --> 00:49:43.600
if we look at it from the down the line

842
00:49:46.160 --> 00:49:50.800
definitely not getting in the max side bend at that point that's usually a sign

843
00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:52.400
that the shoulders

844
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:56.590
are doing too much when the that right shoulder tends to rotate and straighten

845
00:49:56.590 --> 00:49:57.600
it's going to tend

846
00:49:57.600 --> 00:50:02.790
to shrug when it tends to shrug it's going to pull you out of side bend um so

847
00:50:02.790 --> 00:50:03.200
getting

848
00:50:03.200 --> 00:50:09.670
using the vertical movement of the legs to get your body to side bend a little

849
00:50:09.670 --> 00:50:11.600
bit more um kind

850
00:50:11.600 --> 00:50:17.120
of delays the look of that shoulder coming up uh you can see if i replay it

851
00:50:17.120 --> 00:50:18.960
like right in through

852
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:26.700
there it's already coming up so kind of overly dominant arm action uh which

853
00:50:26.700 --> 00:50:28.160
kind of makes sense

854
00:50:28.160 --> 00:50:32.470
with some of this lack of body rotation because the dominant arm action uh

855
00:50:32.470 --> 00:50:34.080
remember when i overly

856
00:50:34.080 --> 00:50:38.490
use the tricep pecs especially the pecs they're going to tend to stop the pel

857
00:50:38.490 --> 00:50:39.680
vis in its tracks to

858
00:50:39.680 --> 00:50:45.040
match them up he does it a lot okay if we take this

859
00:50:45.040 --> 00:50:51.280
to that follow through position really good arm extension um you know if i'm

860
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:52.080
kind of bracing

861
00:50:52.080 --> 00:50:55.760
through there you can see that there's a little extra kind of shrug of the

862
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:56.720
shoulders but that

863
00:50:56.720 --> 00:51:00.970
makes sense because his chest is pointing so far down um that he can't use

864
00:51:00.970 --> 00:51:02.560
spine extension to create

865
00:51:02.560 --> 00:51:08.660
any elevation he's he's in a position you know if i exaggerate if i'm bent

866
00:51:08.660 --> 00:51:09.840
forward like this

867
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:14.040
there's no way the club is going to if i keep this retracted that's as far as

868
00:51:14.040 --> 00:51:14.880
it would stop

869
00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:20.350
that's a really short follow through so um i'm either going to use my body to

870
00:51:20.350 --> 00:51:21.280
tilt back this way

871
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:26.100
or my arms my shoulder blades are going to have to do too much or do more i

872
00:51:26.100 --> 00:51:27.840
should say in order

873
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:33.530
to get that extension so here we can see that shoulder blade look is a sign he

874
00:51:33.530 --> 00:51:34.480
's getting into this

875
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:40.040
kind of forward flexion of the pelvis um and you can see that it's really domin

876
00:51:40.040 --> 00:51:41.520
antly rotated

877
00:51:41.520 --> 00:51:47.200
because we didn't see any real hip extension there his pelvis is on an angle

878
00:51:47.200 --> 00:51:48.880
about like this

879
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:56.720
so that hip is a good 20 degrees still flexed he's got no hip extension there

880
00:51:56.720 --> 00:52:02.820
so working on kind of a follow through bracing movement i think would serve him

881
00:52:02.820 --> 00:52:03.520
pretty well

882
00:52:03.520 --> 00:52:10.000
decent with staying in that posture but it's just no hip extension

883
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:16.610
so a lot happening at the shoulder girdle a lot happening with the spinning

884
00:52:16.610 --> 00:52:17.920
forces or the

885
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:24.240
twisting forces he's rotating his body a lot um but you'll see that if anything

886
00:52:24.240 --> 00:52:24.800
looking at the

887
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:31.280
height of the pelvis see it kind of stays the same or even dips down it's more

888
00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:33.360
of a you know spin

889
00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:39.490
type motion instead of a vertical motion which ideally we're trying to blend we

890
00:52:39.490 --> 00:52:40.480
wrote it we get

891
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:46.060
a little translation early and then we get a rotation and vertical last um that

892
00:52:46.060 --> 00:52:46.960
helps kind of

893
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:52.240
stabilize some of the things uh some of the pelvis movement through impact

894
00:52:52.240 --> 00:52:53.440
while creating that flat

895
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:59.890
spot this is a little bit more shoulder driven than my liking um might have

896
00:52:59.890 --> 00:53:00.880
some trouble with

897
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:10.020
those longer clubs all right last one looking at the classic golden bear so if

898
00:53:10.020 --> 00:53:10.640
we're looking

899
00:53:10.640 --> 00:53:15.710
through this really good um you can see the dramatic difference in the leg

900
00:53:15.710 --> 00:53:17.680
action compared to the

901
00:53:17.680 --> 00:53:23.780
golfer before um so we can see good hip extension there good you know arm

902
00:53:23.780 --> 00:53:25.120
extension you don't see

903
00:53:25.120 --> 00:53:28.680
a lot of shrugging of the shoulders and the shoulder blades kind of stay back

904
00:53:28.680 --> 00:53:30.720
so um he's getting

905
00:53:30.720 --> 00:53:37.160
into more of kind of this position as opposed to going that way or even that

906
00:53:37.160 --> 00:53:39.920
way um and the hip

907
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:45.920
is going into this really good extension position instead of kind of spinning

908
00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:53.280
and diving down um so he's got all the traits of kind of classic bracing arm

909
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:54.720
extension

910
00:53:54.720 --> 00:54:00.820
supination i don't have to down the line but we can see that shoulder staying

911
00:54:00.820 --> 00:54:01.040
down

912
00:54:01.040 --> 00:54:07.650
and then it doesn't stop start coming up until there really good um so

913
00:54:07.650 --> 00:54:09.360
hopefully that gives you a

914
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:12.740
little inspiration if there's anything in this presentation that you would like

915
00:54:12.740 --> 00:54:13.600
me to clarify

916
00:54:13.600 --> 00:54:18.830
or go over again um feel free to you know shoot me an email or send a comment

917
00:54:18.830 --> 00:54:20.160
and i'll clarify it

918
00:54:20.160 --> 00:54:26.260
for you um last video coming up we're going to talk about this finish position

919
00:54:26.260 --> 00:54:27.120
and what are some

920
00:54:27.120 --> 00:54:30.070
checks and what are some things it'll be one of the shorter presentations uh

921
00:54:30.070 --> 00:54:31.120
because there's only

922
00:54:31.120 --> 00:54:34.500
a handful of things to really look at for the finish position but there are

923
00:54:34.500 --> 00:54:35.280
some things that you

924
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:39.160
can learn that you might not pick up just by looking at the follow through

925
00:54:39.160 --> 00:54:40.480
position so stay

926
00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:44.320
tuned for next time thanks again coaches we'll see you at p10
