概要

TLDRThe video offers guidance on mastering golf techniques by consolidating efforts from prior lessons into effective practice routines. To improve as a golfer, the emphasis should be on making meaningful practice efforts focused on refining contact with the club face, accuracy, and speed. Initially, players are urged to focus less on where the ball ends up and more on their body movements and tension management. The instruction underlines that effective practice should consist of creating solid contact with the ball, correctly aligning with three main metrics: contact, accuracy, and speed, alongside making appropriate adjustments during practice. The importance of aiming small, maintaining posture, and learning to self-correct mistakes, such as mishits at the heel or toe of the club, is highlighted. The session culminates in advice to check body movement against setup instructions (from a related video) to ensure consistency and effectiveness, subsequently feeding into better in-game performance.

タイムライン

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video discusses common challenges golfers face, emphasizing the importance of practicing properly by focusing on changing movement patterns rather than immediate ball results. It stresses that tailored practice aligned with one's unique traits is key for improvement, not merely following generalized golf instruction. The key takeaway is learning how to practice effectively, which includes understanding what causes mishits and making the correct on-the-fly adjustments in driving a golf ball, focusing on contact, accuracy, and speed. This foundation enables golfers to know when to accelerate their practice or pace down.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Golfers are encouraged to aim for at least 70% solid contact with the club's center, emphasizing the importance of setup and reducing tension in minor systems like arms and shoulders to maintain proper movement. Practice involves making controlled, tension-free swings to improve contact consistency, focusing on movement rather than direction. The video details how to develop a feel for the golf swing through repetition and awareness of body movements, ensuring the body aids the swing naturally without forced adjustments.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    A thorough practice routine is outlined, focusing on maintaining tension-free swings while paying attention to body movements, primarily using the left arm and shoulder. Adjustments are made based on shot feedback, focusing on the sensation of swings rather than results or speed. The session aims for consistent contact without concern for where the ball lands, preparing for the transition from technical practice to performance-based practice. This involves ingraining movement feels and developing consistency in shot quality through repetition.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:23:12

    The final phase involves linking technical practice to real-life scenarios by implementing performance practice. This means applying the techniques from practice sessions to golf course simulations, gradually narrowing the focus on accuracy. The golfer is advised to aim precisely and visualize the shot, integrating practiced movements into natural play without mechanical thoughts in mind. The video concludes that identifying misses accurately and utilizing a structured practice protocol will lead to more meaningful practice sessions, fostering continuous improvement.

    you see that I don't know if you can see
  • 00:00:07
    that at
  • 00:00:08
    home but there's a nice little Mark
  • 00:00:10
    right there that's the center of the
  • 00:00:12
    club face that's a good spot to hit it
  • 00:00:14
    today we take all of that hard work that
  • 00:00:17
    you've just put in for the first three
  • 00:00:19
    videos of this series and you start
  • 00:00:21
    bringing it to light you start learning
  • 00:00:23
    how to take that hard work and start
  • 00:00:25
    hitting real good golf shots with it and
  • 00:00:27
    I know that this sport is incredibly
  • 00:00:30
    frustrating and the reasons why a lot of
  • 00:00:31
    you struggle to actually get better at
  • 00:00:34
    this really frustrating sport is two
  • 00:00:35
    reasons and two reasons only the first
  • 00:00:37
    one being is that you are working on the
  • 00:00:40
    wrong things at the wrong time you work
  • 00:00:42
    on things that are not pertinent to your
  • 00:00:43
    DNA because the golf instruction World
  • 00:00:46
    promises you and promises you and
  • 00:00:48
    promises you and it's really sexy I'm
  • 00:00:49
    going to be honest with you some of
  • 00:00:51
    these titles and some of these
  • 00:00:52
    thumbnails that come along with this
  • 00:00:53
    stuff it looks magnificent but at the
  • 00:00:55
    end of the day what you have to remember
  • 00:00:57
    is you have to change you and you're
  • 00:00:59
    very different than any other person
  • 00:01:00
    that's out there but the real reason why
  • 00:01:03
    most of you struggle to get better at
  • 00:01:04
    the game of golf let's just say you are
  • 00:01:06
    working on the right things is because
  • 00:01:08
    you miss the one key component that
  • 00:01:10
    playing professionals are so really good
  • 00:01:12
    at and that is learning how to practice
  • 00:01:15
    properly your practices need to be
  • 00:01:17
    meaningful your practices need to be not
  • 00:01:19
    about how you're hitting the golf ball
  • 00:01:21
    and where it's going at first your
  • 00:01:22
    practices need to be about you and how
  • 00:01:24
    you're changing a movement pattern the
  • 00:01:26
    biological processes that you have to go
  • 00:01:28
    through in order to get better at the
  • 00:01:29
    game of golf is something that we can't
  • 00:01:31
    override as many as the golf instruction
  • 00:01:35
    as much as the golf instruction World
  • 00:01:36
    wants to tell you that they can't
  • 00:01:38
    override it it's not going to happen but
  • 00:01:39
    today we're going to show you exactly
  • 00:01:41
    how you should practice but on top of
  • 00:01:44
    that what I'm going to do is I'm going
  • 00:01:45
    to empower you even further as a golfer
  • 00:01:48
    I'm going to teach you how to make the
  • 00:01:49
    correct adjustments on your on the Fly
  • 00:01:51
    I'm going to teach you why certain Mish
  • 00:01:53
    hits pop up I'm going to teach you how
  • 00:01:55
    to work through a protocol here today
  • 00:01:57
    that's going to kind of help bring the
  • 00:01:59
    three metrics that we would really
  • 00:02:00
    quantify as being a good driver of the
  • 00:02:02
    golf ball and that's your contact your
  • 00:02:04
    accuracy and your speed we're going to
  • 00:02:06
    help you find that Perfect Blend of
  • 00:02:08
    those things but we're going to help you
  • 00:02:09
    make yourself accountable for your
  • 00:02:11
    actions and know when it's right to put
  • 00:02:12
    the foot on the accelerator and when you
  • 00:02:14
    should take the foot off the accelerator
  • 00:02:15
    and I think that's a pretty exciting day
  • 00:02:17
    for a lot of us at home because you're
  • 00:02:19
    now taking that foundational work that
  • 00:02:20
    we just laid down and you're now
  • 00:02:22
    starting to build into it you're
  • 00:02:24
    starting to create a better future for
  • 00:02:25
    yourself and I'm excited for you and I'm
  • 00:02:27
    excited that you're going to go on this
  • 00:02:28
    ride with us now strap on your seat
  • 00:02:29
    belts let's get to
  • 00:02:31
    work how you doing make sure you guys
  • 00:02:33
    are subscribed to the channel make sure
  • 00:02:35
    you're subscribed oh yeah just like
  • 00:02:37
    those guys make sure you're subscribed
  • 00:02:39
    to the channel as well and make sure you
  • 00:02:40
    leave us a like and if you have any
  • 00:02:41
    questions or comments please feel free
  • 00:02:43
    to post that up below step number one
  • 00:02:44
    where we dial in our contact here's how
  • 00:02:47
    I want you to think about it is that
  • 00:02:49
    we're going to be trying to hit 10 golf
  • 00:02:51
    balls here and we want to be at least
  • 00:02:53
    70% where we hit it right in the center
  • 00:02:55
    of the club face if not as close to the
  • 00:02:58
    center of the club face that's
  • 00:02:59
    considered taller able for you and your
  • 00:03:00
    skill set so today I'm going to kind of
  • 00:03:03
    expand out a little bit and I'm going to
  • 00:03:04
    be using a spot that's right around the
  • 00:03:07
    center of the face but there's a little
  • 00:03:08
    bit of toe tolerance and a little bit of
  • 00:03:09
    heel tolerance and if I can get that
  • 00:03:12
    magical number of 70% then I can advance
  • 00:03:14
    into step number two now if you followed
  • 00:03:16
    the video series that I've been putting
  • 00:03:18
    out here I've been putting them out in
  • 00:03:21
    the exact order in which I'm teaching
  • 00:03:22
    you here today I'm putting out in a way
  • 00:03:24
    that's going to help you alleviate
  • 00:03:26
    missets think about what we did in video
  • 00:03:28
    number one video number one what we did
  • 00:03:30
    was we worked on your setup position and
  • 00:03:32
    we worked on getting you to load and
  • 00:03:35
    unload quickly without having your spine
  • 00:03:38
    move into extension so many of you lose
  • 00:03:40
    sight of how the spine can actually
  • 00:03:43
    influence your ability to be able to hit
  • 00:03:44
    the center of the club face and a
  • 00:03:46
    perfect example is that if I have the
  • 00:03:48
    center of the club and the ball lined up
  • 00:03:50
    with one another and I'm making a golf
  • 00:03:52
    swing with some zip and I start pushing
  • 00:03:54
    really hard off of my right leg bringing
  • 00:03:56
    my right hip forward
  • 00:03:59
    spine moves up spine leans back I'm G to
  • 00:04:02
    now drop the club to the inside and I'm
  • 00:04:04
    G to expose the heel of the club to the
  • 00:04:05
    golf ball it's a very common Miss so you
  • 00:04:09
    can understand that it's important for
  • 00:04:10
    you to be able to keep the main system
  • 00:04:13
    working properly in this first section
  • 00:04:15
    and keep the smaller systems like your
  • 00:04:17
    hands and your arms and your shoulders
  • 00:04:19
    very tension free and let them respond
  • 00:04:21
    to what your body is doing we're not
  • 00:04:23
    concerned at all in which the direction
  • 00:04:26
    is heading from any of these shots in
  • 00:04:28
    these first 10 golf balls we're worried
  • 00:04:29
    about staying connected to our body
  • 00:04:31
    movements and our tension levels in our
  • 00:04:33
    hands and our arms if our body shuts
  • 00:04:35
    down and we're not doing these movements
  • 00:04:37
    properly then your smaller systems are
  • 00:04:39
    going to pick up the pace and they're
  • 00:04:40
    going to start making it very hard for
  • 00:04:42
    you to get things lined up and you're
  • 00:04:43
    going to have a magnitude of Misses so
  • 00:04:45
    our first goal here is to create really
  • 00:04:47
    good solid contact now how we're going
  • 00:04:49
    to do this is we're going to follow a
  • 00:04:50
    very specific protocol and I'm going to
  • 00:04:52
    go ahead and take my driver and I'm
  • 00:04:53
    going to take my setup here but I'm not
  • 00:04:55
    going to stand in my normal setup
  • 00:04:56
    position I'm going to start by isolating
  • 00:04:58
    and start to shake out the tension in my
  • 00:05:00
    left shoulder my left arm and my left
  • 00:05:01
    wrist so I'm just a little bit closer to
  • 00:05:05
    my my seven iron or my eight iron stance
  • 00:05:07
    and I'm just going to make some small
  • 00:05:08
    swings that are going to be done just
  • 00:05:10
    above hip high to hip high my goal here
  • 00:05:13
    is to get connected to my arm swinging
  • 00:05:16
    freely and if you think about or see the
  • 00:05:19
    club on its way through it's hitting the
  • 00:05:22
    same bit of grass every single time and
  • 00:05:25
    I'm not trying to influence it I'm just
  • 00:05:27
    keeping everything chill okay okay and
  • 00:05:30
    normally I don't like for people to
  • 00:05:32
    string reps together like this because
  • 00:05:34
    it's incredibly difficult for you at
  • 00:05:36
    home to be consistent with your swing
  • 00:05:37
    plane in your path and with the club
  • 00:05:39
    face but again the purpose of this is
  • 00:05:41
    just to get connected to the tension
  • 00:05:43
    levels once you get connected to the
  • 00:05:45
    tension levels I want you to start
  • 00:05:47
    dialing it in a little bit further and I
  • 00:05:49
    want you to think about the club being
  • 00:05:50
    tow up on the trail side of the body to
  • 00:05:52
    tow up on the lead side of the body and
  • 00:05:54
    if you need to follow it with your eyes
  • 00:05:56
    you can do so but if you have good
  • 00:05:58
    command of that tension level being down
  • 00:06:00
    and getting the club to swing from toe
  • 00:06:02
    up to toe up now you can add in the
  • 00:06:04
    final component and that's when we start
  • 00:06:06
    to move with a little bit of freedom of
  • 00:06:08
    movement here with our body so the way
  • 00:06:10
    that I like to do this without having to
  • 00:06:12
    think about all the stuff that you
  • 00:06:12
    learned in video number one is I like to
  • 00:06:14
    consolidate the thoughts we're going to
  • 00:06:16
    be going weight pressure to our right
  • 00:06:19
    ankle turning back pressure to our left
  • 00:06:22
    ankle letting our left arms swing
  • 00:06:24
    through and release and when we're doing
  • 00:06:26
    that we're keeping our head and our
  • 00:06:27
    chest down over the golf ball and we're
  • 00:06:29
    going to just this for a series of reps
  • 00:06:31
    here where we know we can stay connected
  • 00:06:33
    to it so my right hand's going to go
  • 00:06:34
    behind my back so I don't cover the
  • 00:06:38
    mic okay so that's one
  • 00:06:43
    rep okay I'm making nine to three swings
  • 00:06:48
    here making sure that I can feel my
  • 00:06:50
    pressure move to my right ankle my left
  • 00:06:53
    ankle and I'm staying down over the shot
  • 00:06:56
    when I'm doing
  • 00:06:57
    it tension levels feel good
  • 00:07:05
    okay pretty connected to it I'm going to
  • 00:07:07
    bring the right hand back to it I'm just
  • 00:07:09
    going to make one practice swing here
  • 00:07:12
    feeling like my right hand can be a
  • 00:07:15
    backseat passenger if I'm really
  • 00:07:16
    connected to it I'm going to address the
  • 00:07:18
    golf ball and I'm staying focused on not
  • 00:07:21
    hitting a big shot I'm not worried about
  • 00:07:22
    the
  • 00:07:25
    direction okay so right there
  • 00:07:30
    I just hit it a fraction low on the face
  • 00:07:32
    okay but it was out of the center of the
  • 00:07:33
    face but it was just a fraction low and
  • 00:07:36
    I didn't produce anywhere close to my
  • 00:07:38
    full speed in fact my ball speed was way
  • 00:07:41
    down to 118 and my swing speed was down
  • 00:07:43
    to 83 but what I had was was good
  • 00:07:46
    contact that produced a ball that came
  • 00:07:49
    off the face with some zip to it I did
  • 00:07:52
    this in a way where I didn't have
  • 00:07:55
    something influencing the path or the
  • 00:07:57
    face to path and made sure that my body
  • 00:08:00
    was working in a way where the club
  • 00:08:02
    could get itself lined back up without
  • 00:08:03
    me having to work on it this is a very
  • 00:08:05
    tricky part of this process for a lot of
  • 00:08:07
    you because you're going to try to hit
  • 00:08:08
    it really far I don't care where the
  • 00:08:10
    golf ball goes I care that the body felt
  • 00:08:13
    exactly the same way think about what I
  • 00:08:15
    just said there when I do this reps when
  • 00:08:18
    I just had you go through this protocol
  • 00:08:21
    so left arm
  • 00:08:22
    swings okay I've got awareness of my
  • 00:08:24
    left arm and my left shoulder now I'm
  • 00:08:27
    starting to add in the body components
  • 00:08:32
    okay and I can feel like that's really
  • 00:08:35
    really good connection to it when the
  • 00:08:37
    right hand comes back to it you're still
  • 00:08:39
    staying connected to those movements and
  • 00:08:41
    if it feels right then go ahead and
  • 00:08:44
    challenge yourself and do it
  • 00:08:47
    again okay that one was hit even
  • 00:08:50
    better just a fraction a fraction
  • 00:08:53
    towards the
  • 00:08:56
    heel speed was a little bit faster than
  • 00:08:58
    I probably
  • 00:09:02
    wanted but overall very good quality
  • 00:09:08
    strike so again we're not trying to hit
  • 00:09:10
    good shots we're trying to make good
  • 00:09:12
    swings and we're trying to hit good
  • 00:09:14
    solid contact I don't care about where
  • 00:09:16
    the ball is going we care about creating
  • 00:09:19
    connection every single rep counts so
  • 00:09:21
    you start out by going through your
  • 00:09:23
    attention levels
  • 00:09:32
    I'm going to get the wrist dialed in to
  • 00:09:33
    make sure it's
  • 00:09:35
    perfect now I'm going to add the body in
  • 00:09:37
    so right heel left heel staying
  • 00:09:44
    down okay so I'm feeling my pressure
  • 00:09:46
    move through my feet I'm staying down in
  • 00:09:49
    the shot I'm trying my best not to let
  • 00:09:50
    my head and my chest come
  • 00:09:52
    up okay once I feel it I'm good good
  • 00:09:54
    connection to it take the right hand let
  • 00:09:57
    it rest on the side of the club
  • 00:10:00
    okay feels like a left arm only
  • 00:10:02
    swing let's see how we
  • 00:10:08
    do okay so that was hit a little bit
  • 00:10:11
    higher in the face still in my tolerance
  • 00:10:13
    Zone actually maybe a little bit outside
  • 00:10:15
    the tolerance Zone believe it or
  • 00:10:17
    not so I hit it high in the face because
  • 00:10:21
    I was probably a little bit steeper on
  • 00:10:24
    it okay yep definitely was so I'm not
  • 00:10:28
    panicking okay I'm still focusing in on
  • 00:10:30
    the things that matter the most so
  • 00:10:32
    tension
  • 00:10:33
    levels Club
  • 00:10:36
    face and now making sure that we can go
  • 00:10:38
    through a loading and unloading
  • 00:10:40
    procedure where we're not coming up and
  • 00:10:42
    out of posture we want to grade
  • 00:10:44
    ourselves on our ability to be able to
  • 00:10:46
    do that
  • 00:10:52
    first before we grade ourselves on our
  • 00:10:54
    ability to be able to hit the center of
  • 00:10:55
    the club face
  • 00:11:00
    so that was perfect right out of the
  • 00:11:01
    button there so the big key to remember
  • 00:11:04
    here in this first section is that what
  • 00:11:05
    we're trying to go after is body
  • 00:11:07
    awareness first to create solid contact
  • 00:11:10
    second now if you were lucky enough to
  • 00:11:13
    be able to hit your first five really
  • 00:11:15
    good and solid then you should be well
  • 00:11:17
    on your way into step number two at this
  • 00:11:19
    point if you were lucky enough to get
  • 00:11:21
    seven out of 10 then you can start to
  • 00:11:23
    work your way into step number two and
  • 00:11:25
    start adding in the accuracy component
  • 00:11:27
    but for those of you that didn't get
  • 00:11:28
    seven out of 10 then there's a pretty
  • 00:11:30
    good chance that your main system wasn't
  • 00:11:32
    working properly and I would strongly
  • 00:11:34
    suggest that you stop doing what you're
  • 00:11:35
    doing right now and go back and watch
  • 00:11:38
    video number one get your body to go
  • 00:11:40
    through the correct loading and
  • 00:11:41
    unloading process create awareness
  • 00:11:43
    around that and then you can come back
  • 00:11:45
    to section number one and try again
  • 00:11:47
    check things on camera check it really
  • 00:11:49
    closely if you look at it from a Down
  • 00:11:50
    the Line perspective and you notice that
  • 00:11:52
    your hips are open 45° and your
  • 00:11:54
    shoulders are square at point of contact
  • 00:11:56
    and you're not moving into a vertical
  • 00:11:58
    spine position or ear early extension
  • 00:12:00
    then you probably need to have a
  • 00:12:02
    professional eye or pair of eyes looking
  • 00:12:03
    at it so that we can identify where what
  • 00:12:06
    sort of anomaly is being created that's
  • 00:12:08
    creating that sort of mishit in your
  • 00:12:09
    golf swing but I can guarantee you this
  • 00:12:11
    if you have a good setup position like
  • 00:12:12
    we outlined in video number one and you
  • 00:12:14
    have a good loading and unloading
  • 00:12:15
    process and your small systems like your
  • 00:12:17
    hands and your arms are tension free
  • 00:12:19
    there's no reason why you shouldn't be
  • 00:12:20
    hitting the center of the club face at a
  • 00:12:21
    high frequency let's get into step
  • 00:12:23
    number two now we're going to start
  • 00:12:24
    really dialing in our accuracy component
  • 00:12:26
    we're going to start dialing in our shot
  • 00:12:28
    shape to be kind of like what we want to
  • 00:12:30
    see in a stock shot environment now a
  • 00:12:32
    lot of you at home like the idea of
  • 00:12:35
    being able to hit a high draw and a lot
  • 00:12:36
    of you want to just hit it straight in
  • 00:12:39
    my case I've hit a draw for way too long
  • 00:12:41
    in my life I hit a high draw that turns
  • 00:12:43
    into an overdraw and I've been
  • 00:12:44
    consistently working on trying to hit a
  • 00:12:46
    much more controlled fade from my side
  • 00:12:48
    so today what I'm going to be doing in
  • 00:12:50
    this second step is me personally is I'm
  • 00:12:52
    going to be working on what we did in
  • 00:12:53
    video number two where I started working
  • 00:12:55
    on the draw bias the straight ball and
  • 00:12:58
    the fade bias I'm going to be now
  • 00:13:00
    working on trying to feel what I did in
  • 00:13:02
    just step number one I'm going to start
  • 00:13:04
    feeling a fade bias swing and I'm going
  • 00:13:07
    to start doing that with a great deal of
  • 00:13:09
    practice swings before I hit each and
  • 00:13:10
    every one of my golf balls and I'm going
  • 00:13:12
    to be trying to hit five golf balls
  • 00:13:14
    really really close to a Target that I
  • 00:13:16
    have picked out but when we do this
  • 00:13:18
    we're going to give ourselves again just
  • 00:13:20
    like we did with the club face we're
  • 00:13:21
    going to give ourselves a little bit of
  • 00:13:23
    a a gap here or a little bit of a
  • 00:13:25
    tolerance window so when I look out here
  • 00:13:28
    I'm going to be using the telep phone
  • 00:13:29
    pull out in center field and I've got it
  • 00:13:31
    set up to where the red flag on the
  • 00:13:33
    right and the red post on the left is
  • 00:13:35
    kind of my tolerance window it's a very
  • 00:13:37
    narrow window I'm trying to hit shots
  • 00:13:39
    that end up inside of that window and if
  • 00:13:41
    I hit a good percentage of these golf
  • 00:13:43
    balls these next five balls that I'm
  • 00:13:45
    about to hit inside of that window then
  • 00:13:47
    I'm going to start ramping up the speed
  • 00:13:48
    and get into the performance practice at
  • 00:13:50
    the tail end of this when I start really
  • 00:13:51
    trying to put my golf course stuff to
  • 00:13:53
    the work here so here's how we're going
  • 00:13:55
    to do it so much like we did in that
  • 00:13:57
    first step we're going to start out by
  • 00:13:59
    by shaking out tension left
  • 00:14:01
    shoulder left arm left
  • 00:14:05
    wrist we're going to start adding the
  • 00:14:07
    system in
  • 00:14:09
    here okay now in video number two if you
  • 00:14:12
    remember I had you think about where the
  • 00:14:15
    shoulders were pointed when the release
  • 00:14:18
    started to help you get your path in
  • 00:14:21
    line okay so I feel my left shoulder
  • 00:14:24
    pointed more to the left okay and now
  • 00:14:26
    I'm going to really start dialing in my
  • 00:14:28
    posture make sure I'm stay stay in the
  • 00:14:30
    shot okay I'm going to bring the right
  • 00:14:32
    hand back in there okay again I'm not
  • 00:14:35
    focused on my body or I'm not focused on
  • 00:14:38
    the golf club I'm focused on my body
  • 00:14:40
    movements and I'm going to see if I can
  • 00:14:43
    make things feel exactly the
  • 00:14:46
    same so I'm working at about 75% speed
  • 00:14:50
    I'm pretty connected on those movements
  • 00:14:52
    so I feel my weight shift I feel the
  • 00:14:54
    left arm being tension free now I've got
  • 00:14:56
    the path in mind and I'm just going to
  • 00:14:57
    go ahead and try to hit a shot here
  • 00:14:59
    focusing in on my body movements and
  • 00:15:01
    staying connected to
  • 00:15:05
    it
  • 00:15:08
    okay so I had a really really big pull
  • 00:15:13
    fade that started outside of the window
  • 00:15:16
    and turn back in went 245 hit right out
  • 00:15:19
    of the center of the club
  • 00:15:21
    face so 6 on path okay so not bad so
  • 00:15:25
    I'll take that it's accurate it's in the
  • 00:15:27
    zone so again now what we're going to do
  • 00:15:30
    is go through the protocol so first
  • 00:15:31
    thing we start out with is we're going
  • 00:15:33
    to work on our tension levels so left
  • 00:15:36
    arm is tension
  • 00:15:41
    free I'm adding in the system of
  • 00:15:44
    movements so right heel left heel
  • 00:15:48
    release okay now I'm going to add in the
  • 00:15:51
    same thing now with just my
  • 00:15:53
    path so my left shoulder is getting
  • 00:15:57
    left okay now making sure I've got it
  • 00:15:59
    all together in my brain so it's left
  • 00:16:07
    arm okay pretty connected to
  • 00:16:15
    it almost identical
  • 00:16:20
    shot okay so that landed right on the
  • 00:16:23
    far right hand side of my window
  • 00:16:31
    turned out to be pretty
  • 00:16:33
    good so already my practice session is
  • 00:16:36
    becoming meaningful to me because I've
  • 00:16:38
    hit two shots that are kind of on that
  • 00:16:41
    fade bias that I've been working towards
  • 00:16:43
    I've hit the golf ball closer to the
  • 00:16:44
    center of the face albeit that one was a
  • 00:16:46
    little bit back towards the heel and I
  • 00:16:48
    know that I have something that I can
  • 00:16:50
    start to try to put to the golf course
  • 00:16:52
    as I go further and further into this
  • 00:16:53
    process so the whole key that a lot of
  • 00:16:56
    you lose sight of is that you're so
  • 00:16:57
    worried about the results down here
  • 00:16:59
    you're so worried about where this thing
  • 00:17:00
    is going or how it comes off the face
  • 00:17:02
    but you're not worried enough about what
  • 00:17:04
    your body is doing all of this protocol
  • 00:17:06
    that I'm giving you is exactly what you
  • 00:17:08
    should be trying to feel so we're going
  • 00:17:10
    to go through it again so I'm going to
  • 00:17:13
    shake out
  • 00:17:14
    tension yes this is going to feel
  • 00:17:16
    mundane to a lot of you it's going to
  • 00:17:18
    feel boring but when you start actually
  • 00:17:20
    playing better
  • 00:17:22
    golf
  • 00:17:25
    okay start adding the system
  • 00:17:29
    right heel left heel staying in posture
  • 00:17:32
    right heel left heel
  • 00:17:35
    release I'm adding in the
  • 00:17:41
    path I want to get more path there okay
  • 00:17:45
    tension levels are a little bit
  • 00:17:48
    High okay right hand now can come back
  • 00:17:50
    to
  • 00:17:53
    it okay it feels exactly the same now
  • 00:17:59
    okay feels good going to go ahead and
  • 00:18:01
    hit a
  • 00:18:08
    shot that's the best one of the three so
  • 00:18:11
    everything we're doing so far in these
  • 00:18:13
    first two sections is is technically
  • 00:18:15
    practice minded it's literally taking
  • 00:18:17
    the stuff that you learned in those
  • 00:18:19
    videos but giving you a way to kind of
  • 00:18:21
    create some feel around these movements
  • 00:18:23
    your feels are always going to be very
  • 00:18:24
    different now what we're going to do is
  • 00:18:25
    we're going to take this and turn this
  • 00:18:27
    into a realistic situation this this is
  • 00:18:29
    where I start putting the performance
  • 00:18:31
    practice to mind here I've just worked
  • 00:18:32
    on the technical practice I've got
  • 00:18:34
    myself a good feel for things I feel
  • 00:18:36
    like I'm swinging the club pretty well
  • 00:18:37
    now I'm going to start putting it to the
  • 00:18:38
    test and this is where I start going
  • 00:18:40
    through my exact pre-shot routine that I
  • 00:18:42
    use in the golf course I start taking
  • 00:18:44
    that window that I was looking at where
  • 00:18:46
    I needed to get my ball inside of and I
  • 00:18:48
    shrink it down into that mentality of
  • 00:18:50
    aim small Miss small so right now what
  • 00:18:52
    I'm going to do is I'm going to be
  • 00:18:54
    aiming it right at the telephone pole
  • 00:18:55
    and I'm going to be trying to hit a
  • 00:18:57
    straight golf ball that has maybe a
  • 00:18:59
    little bit of bleed in it to the right
  • 00:19:01
    just because that's what I've been
  • 00:19:02
    Drilling and that's what I've been
  • 00:19:03
    trying to see out of my window here so
  • 00:19:05
    how it's going to work is I'm going to
  • 00:19:06
    stand back
  • 00:19:07
    here I'm going to start to look at my
  • 00:19:10
    target okay now from this position what
  • 00:19:12
    I'm going to start to do is I'm going to
  • 00:19:14
    turn my body here and make a couple
  • 00:19:15
    practice swings thinking about the
  • 00:19:17
    components that I just worked on the
  • 00:19:19
    left shoulder left
  • 00:19:21
    arm make a couple practice swings kind
  • 00:19:24
    of feeling it all together okay I feel
  • 00:19:27
    good let step back I'm going to give it
  • 00:19:28
    one one more look I'm keeping my eyes on
  • 00:19:30
    the target I'm walking
  • 00:19:32
    in I'm still seeing and feeling that
  • 00:19:35
    swing shape that I just created in my
  • 00:19:36
    brain now I'm looking at the Target and
  • 00:19:39
    now I'm starting to visualize the shot
  • 00:19:41
    shape and the target not thinking about
  • 00:19:44
    mechanics now I'm just going to do my
  • 00:19:46
    best to make the best swing that I can
  • 00:19:48
    and assess the situation
  • 00:19:59
    okay that was hit pretty
  • 00:20:00
    good all right so we
  • 00:20:05
    have Club head speed
  • 00:20:08
    109 path 7 face to path point4 angle of
  • 00:20:12
    attack was 69 up so what you want to
  • 00:20:15
    remember is that angle of attack can
  • 00:20:17
    play a role in where you're hitting it
  • 00:20:18
    on the face if I get two up on it then I
  • 00:20:20
    can hit it more out of the bottom of the
  • 00:20:21
    club let's see where the club location
  • 00:20:26
    was yeah I was really out of the bottom
  • 00:20:29
    so rather than me trying to tee the ball
  • 00:20:31
    higher I'm actually going to tee it a
  • 00:20:33
    little bit lower and teeing it a little
  • 00:20:36
    bit
  • 00:20:37
    lower is going to help me not go into so
  • 00:20:41
    much lateral side Bend and
  • 00:20:44
    tilt okay
  • 00:20:49
    so taking
  • 00:20:55
    that got those movements in my brain
  • 00:21:16
    okay so I'm going to let you in a little
  • 00:21:17
    secret here at the end that I think is
  • 00:21:19
    going to help you with your misses
  • 00:21:21
    because again a lot of you get home get
  • 00:21:24
    kind of lost in the Opposites of this
  • 00:21:26
    game if you're hitting it a little bit
  • 00:21:28
    towards the heel side of the club okay
  • 00:21:31
    just know that there's a pretty good
  • 00:21:32
    chance you're coming too far from the
  • 00:21:33
    inside in most cases okay so if you're
  • 00:21:36
    hitting it a little bit too far back to
  • 00:21:37
    the heel then what you want to remember
  • 00:21:38
    is that you could start to drill like
  • 00:21:40
    you worked on in video number two you
  • 00:21:41
    can start working on a path that's going
  • 00:21:43
    to be a little bit more to the left
  • 00:21:45
    making sure that you don't have yourself
  • 00:21:47
    coming in into extension so have the
  • 00:21:49
    path work a little bit more to the left
  • 00:21:51
    make sure you're not coming up out of
  • 00:21:52
    posture for those of you that are
  • 00:21:54
    hitting a little bit more towards the
  • 00:21:56
    toe side then there's a pretty good
  • 00:21:58
    chance
  • 00:21:59
    that you might be coming across the golf
  • 00:22:00
    ball a little bit too much so what you
  • 00:22:02
    want to work on is creating that sort of
  • 00:22:03
    in to out or that draw byas swing making
  • 00:22:05
    sure that you're still maintaining your
  • 00:22:07
    posture work on adding that in to that
  • 00:22:09
    step two or even in this step number
  • 00:22:11
    three to try to see it and feel it and
  • 00:22:13
    that should help you alleviate the heel
  • 00:22:14
    in the toe Miss now in that same sort of
  • 00:22:18
    mindset hitting the ball a little bit
  • 00:22:20
    high in the face is not because you have
  • 00:22:22
    the ball teed too high in fact it's
  • 00:22:24
    quite the contrary generally speaking a
  • 00:22:26
    lot of people will hit it high in the
  • 00:22:27
    face because they they come down too
  • 00:22:29
    steep when you come down too steep
  • 00:22:31
    that's what side's going to be exposed
  • 00:22:33
    coming down too shallow or creating too
  • 00:22:35
    much of an asending blow like I've been
  • 00:22:37
    creating is going to force me to hit it
  • 00:22:38
    a little bit low on the face so what I
  • 00:22:40
    want to do is I don't want to continue
  • 00:22:42
    to tee the ball up higher to get it more
  • 00:22:43
    towards the center here I want to
  • 00:22:45
    actually tee it a little bit to the
  • 00:22:46
    Lower Side to make sure that I can go
  • 00:22:49
    and get down and get it so that my spine
  • 00:22:50
    isn't trying to tilt away from the
  • 00:22:51
    target remember accurately identify your
  • 00:22:54
    misses and have a good protocol in place
  • 00:22:57
    and you're going to be a much happier
  • 00:22:58
    offer because your practice sessions are
  • 00:22:59
    now meaningful
