AXIOM BootCamp 4, Chris Tyler, Jan 2022, Session 4
Session 4 of 4
So there's some actual steps that are missing from the soup, and I'll explain this to you guys at the end.
So first off, I made a couple of microphone adjustments.
Does the sound sound all right?
Is it too low now?
I tried to reduce it just a little bit, or is it just fine?
Oh, and welcome everybody.
Hopefully everybody's having a wonderful day so far.
Kenneth, good, thank you very much.
Kenneth, how you doing today, sir?
Hopefully everybody's doing wonderfully.
I see everybody's slowly starting to come into the room.
Got a big day today.
Okay, all good on the sound?
All right.
So I'm hoping, because I had a little issue with the camera falling offline when I was making these adjustments, so I was concerned that my mic pack didn't get picked up, but it seems like it did.
Okay, now we can all settle in and have ourselves a little Saturday session of golf instruction.
Hopefully.
You guys are doing awesome.
Hopefully you guys have been able to start blending the movements in the release together.
I didn't get a lot of reviews sent in.
I don't know if I didn't get a chance to talk to Craig earlier, but the reviews that I did see, I did see some faults that we're going to talk about today because I like to be able to address some fault fixes.
Because if we only saw a few samples of what people were working on, I think there's probably other people that are battling with this stuff as well.
So it's pretty important that we address it so that you guys, if you see it yourselves, that you know how to work through it.
So see, everybody is getting in here.
Okay.
Yeah, Alan, so there's a missing piece.
So I didn't add it in there because I ran out of time typing it, to be honest with you, and I was worried about the mic pack.
So I'll talk to you about that at the end because we're going to do the golf instruction part now, and then we'll talk about all of our soups that we like to make.
So funny thing.
Really funny thing for you guys.
I don't know.
I know that some of you guys are in parts of the world where it's real cold.
And so Florida is about to drop down to like the 30 degree mark, maybe just a little bit underneath it.
And our, our news stations are like issuing all of these crazy warnings, like warning, stay inside.
If you have outdoor pets, bring them inside.
And I'm like, it's 30 degrees folks.
It's not that cold.
Okay.
There are other people that are in like minus 30 degree wind chill weather right now.
So, all right.
So hopefully you guys are all staying warm out there.
If you happen to be in Florida, then take cover.
Everybody pray for us because 30 degree weather is coming to get us.
68 degrees in central California.
So rub it in, sir.
You guys have some good weather over there.
21.
Yeah, see, I'm sure you guys don't have 14 this morning.
All right.
There's the lowest one of the day so far.
Blizzard today in Boston.
I did hear that you guys were getting some crazy weather up there.
Minus 35.
There you go.
I knew it was coming.
40 in Houston.
Frost delays this morning.
Here we go.
20 degrees.
Now, the question back to you guys that have these low temps, was there any warnings issued to you guys?
I know the blizzard, I'm sure there was a warning.
I got a big kick out of it this morning.
So, no warnings for us, I figured.
I guess we're just a bunch of wussies here in Florida.
That's the nature of the beast.
So I kind of like the cool weather though because now my wife can make me get out and do yard work and I'm not just like sweating beyond belief.
So, all right.
So it looks like we're all getting settled in here.
So we got a big day today for many different reasons.
This is the last day of our camp.
So hopefully you guys have enjoyed the first three sessions and you've been able to make this stuff work for you.
And so I just want to kind of do a quick recap on what you should have taken away from camp so far.
Okay.
And so the first thing is, is that you should be working to get really proficient with your lower body movement, right?
Because using your legs and your hips is extremely imperative for stability, power, and safety, right?
This is going to be one of the driving forces of your golf swing.
If you neglect to use your legs and your hips, then guess what?
You're going to use your arms and your shoulders.
And you can produce a lot of speed through your arms and your shoulders.
You really can.
Okay, I can get this club moving around my body really quickly with just my arms and my shoulders.
But what you're going to leave yourself susceptible to is you're going to leave yourself open to a golf swing that's built on timing.
Now, let's talk about that for a second.
Timing is one of those things that we should be extracting from the golf swing.
We want the golf swing to do the same thing every single day, right?
Think about that.
If you want to be consistent, and I would be, it would be very safe to say, if I had a thousand people sitting in the room in front of me, and I said, what do you guys want from your golf instruction today?
A lot of you would say, I want to be consistent.
I would think most of you, and some of you would probably say, I want to hit the ball a little bit further.
So what we're trying to do is we want to eliminate the things in the golf swing that can cause timing.
It's one of my least favorite expressions, right?
So I'm sure some of you have said this yourself or some of you have heard this or like, hey, you know, sitting in the pro shop, like, how'd you play today, Ron?
And Ron goes, oh, my timing was off.
I played terrible.
Well, why is your timing off?
What are you working on in your golf swing that's allowing you to have timing?
Now, I'm not going to lie to you.
There are some things that are timed in the golf swing.
It's all about sequence, right?
So getting yourself to move in the correct order is absolutely key.
And so that's what we did for the first session.
And into the second session really is give you the nuts and bolts of where you should be moving from, where you should be focused on the most.
Because if you get this stuff right and you get into that really good sound impact position that's really stable, then you know that you've produced proper sequencing.
You know that you have a platform that you can let the thing fly off of.
But that leads into the next thing you should become pretty proficient with or have a better understanding of at this point.
And that's delivery points.
Now, how many of you at this point, how many of you at this point, it looks like I'm broadcasting perfectly fine right now, Michael.
I'm sorry.
So it might be on your end.
Okay.
So how many of you at home right now, and you can post this up in the comments, don't understand what a good delivery point looks like at this point.
How many?
I'm hoping nobody because that was the whole purpose of session two was to talk to you about the delivery point and then impact.
If you don't have a good delivery point, and what I mean by delivery point, for those of you that missed this, is that when we get down into the release, we want the club to be pretty close to being in line with our hands and the club shaft parallel to the ground.
We don't want the club way out here.
We don't want the club way back here.
We want our arms underneath us.
We want our hips opening up.
We want our shoulders to be a little bit closed at this point because we haven't fully released it.
But this spot from face on and down the line is the next piece that you need to be very clear Now, if you have a good delivery point and you've got good legwork, then the release now is basically up to you, right?
So hopefully at this point, some of you have made the decision on what side you want to release the club from.
If you're still kind of on the fence about it, then I'm going to help you make your decision today.
Because again, there are going to be some people that are just way too right-sided and.
They don't want to go through the struggle period of trying to eliminate the right side.
And that's perfectly fine.
That's not me knocking you or telling you that you're an out, okay?
So the first two things that we've gotten are proper lower body movement so that you can load, you can transition, and you can post up.
You should all have a good understanding of that as well as delivery point.
Now, the next piece is impact.
Impact, no matter where you're releasing the club from, okay, whether it's the right side or the left side, trail side or lead side, your left hand needs to be flat or slightly bowed.
It needs to be pointed down the target line.
Why?
Million dollar question.
Because if it's flat and pointed down the target line, then we know that the club shaft is leaning forward.
Okay.
We know that our hand is going to be in front of this club head.
You have to de-loft the club and you have to have it square in order to be able to compress the golf ball.
I shouldn't say you don't have to have it squared to compress the ball, but you have to have the shaft leaning forward in order to compress it.
You cannot have your hand back here and hit down on the golf ball.
You can't do it.
Test it.
Try it.
You can't do it.
The golf ball is going to be hit more on the upswing and the ball is going to ride the face.
So now, three important things that you should have in your brain.
My lower body movement, my delivery point, and my impact position.
If you can do those things, then this camp was a great success for you.
Because again, the release is going to always need work.
You're always going to work on making sure that when you get to this delivery point that you can let the club go and just let it do its thing.
Or if you're going to be a trail side dominant releaser, then you're going to have to work on continuing to turn your upper body and then firing the club down the target line.
That's just something you're always going to want to do.
Now, how do we get ourselves to let the club release?
From a lead side dominant standpoint, all you really do at this point is remember that your arm is being propelled from the top of the swing down by your legs.
So your job is to let your arm just move past your body and keep your grip pressure light.
Because if it's in that delivery point, the club does all of the work for you.
That's right.
It does all the work for you.
It's designed to be swung on an incline plane.
It's designed to rotate.
It's going to pull itself down to the bottom of the swing arc.
And where is the bottom of the swing arc determined by?
Well, if you didn't catch that piece, then that's my mistake.
Your determining factor of the bottom out point in the swing is your lead shoulder.
This is your primary pivot point in the golf swing.
This is determining where the club is going to hit the bottom out point.
Now, when the right hand is on the golf club, that moves the bottom out point to the inside part of the lead shoulder.
It's not going to be directly underneath the center of the shoulder.
It's just to the inside of that.
So that's why we play the ball position.
off of our lead ear because the bottom out point is going to be just behind that or just in front of it, I should say.
So now we're going to be able to hit down on it.
Now, how many of you at home have heard the ball position should start kind of middle back of our stance and progressively start moving forward?
How many people have heard that?
I'd be willing to bet you every single person in this room has.
I actually used to do that myself.
Why?
Because that's what I was told was right.
Because when you have higher lofted clubs, you want to have it back.
But you have to remember.
That was before we understood the important parts of data, these data points that we're able to get now.
If you have your ball position back, what's the swing plane going to be?
Well, the swing plane at that point, because the club is working on an arc, is going to be more from the inside.
And vice versa, if you have the ball position too far forward, where's the path going to be?
And this is something that we're going to talk about with drivers at the end, because I know somebody in this room is going to ask me about a driver.
So you're going to find that when I start talking about it, the further the ball position is forward in our stance, the further the path is to the left.
So you have to make adjustments for that.
Now, I also understand that there is a stock shot and there are specialty shots.
A stock shot is when we are set up and we are trying to hit a certain number.
Like I know my nine iron is going to go 154 yards if I make a full swing and I move through my position just like I would normally.
If I need to flight it or if I need to move it in one direction or the other, there's going to be some minor differences that I might play around with ball position.
But think about that stuff as being advanced level.
You're here to build a stock shot.
You're here to build a stock swing that's going to produce good consistency, a good tight ball flight.
And when you become really good at that, then you can start working your way through specialty shots.
And that's a really fun part of my job and Craig's job.
Why?
Well, because we get to sit there and have you guys send in reviews.
And we start talking about little adjustments that you can make to get the ball flight that you're looking for.
That's right.
You're going to get to a point where you can be nitpicky with us.
I love that part.
I love working on ball striking drills with students.
Why?
Well, because that's when you guys have really got the movement in a good spot.
And you can go out there and make little adjustments to what you're doing with your lead wrist, little adjustments to what you're doing with your trail hand.
And you can ultimately affect the ball flight and get it to move in whatever direction you want.
Face angle is 80%.
Now, if you leave the camp with an understanding of how to move your lower body, just like this, and you understand how to get into a good delivery point and impact, and then you can leave by doing those two things together, whether it's a lead side dominant or a trail side dominant, just those two pieces right there together, whether it's hip high to hip high, nine to three, or in full swing territory like we're going to talk about today, then you have a great success.
in this camp, I promise you.
Because that's why we engineered it this way.
That's why Craig and I had a very big discussion with one another after our first camp.
And we went to Chuck and we said, listen, we need to strip this thing down.
We need to strip it down because we give too much freedom with all of this extra movement that we're going to discuss today.
And if you don't have this stuff in a pretty decent spot or an understanding of delivery and release and impact, then there's a pretty good chance that you're not going to be able to hit the golf ball really well.
Just going to say it.
Because all of the stuff that's happening around in space here in the periphery can really ultimately affect these positions.
Think about that.
How many of you have even thought about your delivery point?
Most of you think about the slot position, coming down, having the club right through the middle of the forearm.
That's the slot.
I get it in the slot.
I'm going to hit it great.
Well, there's a lot that can happen from being in the slot down to impact.
take your body and heave it.
Now look at when I get to delivery where the club is, right?
I can take and shift my posture a little bit by driving forward.
What's that going to do to the swing point?
So I look at it more condensed.
I look at it from the ground up.
I look at it from impact back.
You get it into a delivery point, like we've talked about many times over, then you've got a real good chance of being able to hit the golf ball with some zip to it, okay?
So as I said to you, If you left or if you leave this camp with a better understanding of how to move your lower body, a better understanding of how important your delivery point is, and a better understanding of how to release the club, then all this other stuff that we're going to do is just you adding speed to the mix.
Okay?
That's the fun part.
That's why we reverse engineered this.
That's why we changed the program to kind of go back with what we were originally founded on and say, When did we see people get the most success with their ball striking?
And how did we get them to move from and through those positions faster?
And so we took a combination of all of the stuff that we've done for the last 10 or 12 years, and we compiled it down to this.
And I can be honest with you, I don't foresee this program changing anytime soon.
I don't.
We're going to make a little adjustments to it based off of what we see from the students.
But the way that this is going to be taught in this format, I'm very confident that this is the way we're going to stay because of what we see for results.
I've seen some absolutely sensational lower body movements.
I've seen some very, very good focus on the release this time.
I saw people actually staying in static impact and getting their left arm and their club to do the work.
Now, as I said to you guys at the open of this, I did see some faults.
I saw some faults from this last Tuesday to this session where people were trying to blend together.
And the big fault that came out of that was when people started moving from that six o 'clock position, over through to the lead side.
So when you start working from six to seven, eight, nine, okay, what we started seeing was, is the right shoulder kind of dropping down and staying back, right?
Now, the fix for this is, is if you look at my hips moving this way and I'm driving up, is to allow your upper body to feel like it moves more laterally into position with your hips.
Don't leave your upper body hung out to dry and start feeling this right shoulder drop down.
Different ways to think about it for you, students at home that don't really get any sort of awareness of your head or your eyes.
Is either thinking about your left shoulder staying down and moving laterally towards your left ankle, or keeping your right shoulder up and behind your head.
Either way, it's working on the same sort of fix.
If your right shoulder drops down, your upper body's hanging back.
The other fault that I saw was people trying to get to nine to three before they were ready to get to nine to three.
And immediately what I saw was is that they started down with their arm and then their legs played catch up.
So what do we do to fix that?
Well, you have to remember when you get to this position of nine o'clock, if you try to leave your arm there and you prioritize this movement, your arm is moving with you.
Don't try to move from the arms.
Keep your arms chilled.
It's going to feel like most of you at home.
It's going to feel like there's no power.
Some of you are going to be like, that's it.
That's it.
Think about what we do here.
We are teaching you a golf swing that's going to produce the maximum amount of efficiency in a space where you're not having.
A lot of this added movement and a lot of this added effort.
Why?
Well, Because the other piece of the puzzle is that we're trying to keep you safe.
Because there's a lot of golf instruction out there that just evades that principle.
So by moving very little, as little as you possibly can, and being able to produce efficiency and using kinematic sequence to your advantage, That's how you produce a golf club that's going to produce speed.
And it does feel effortless.
And for those of you that have never looked at the masthead of our website, go read it.
Okay.
Oh, it's actually changed a little bit, but it used to say effortless power.
That's what we're teaching you.
So with that being said, today's goal is to give you a few checkpoints about the backswing.
Also to show you the finished axiom movement and how to kind of tone it back.
The unfortunate thing is, is I'm not going to be able to do the big clockwise circles with the club in my hands because there is a giant fan right above my head, like a massive one.
And in the second camp, I almost took it out.
So I'm not going to do that, but I will demonstrate it without the club.
When I bring the club back to the mix, I'm going to bring the left hand back onto the club and it's going to start making those circles a lot smaller.
Okay.
So you're going to see.
that when I started making this big clockwise movement with my arm, it gets toned back very quickly.
And everything within Axiom is to introduce movement back to your golf swings because we don't want you guys to feel stuck, right?
How many of you have worked on the technical side of the swing so much that you forgot how to move, right?
So if you think about where Axiom came from, it was because we watched it, right?
We watched students just getting frozen all the time.
And so now you have the ability to be able to move.
And what we've done too in this camp is, change a lot of that added movement that that axiom really is, right?
Axiom is a big clockwise circle at first, right?
But what do we do to change all of that added movement to the exterior part of the foot?
Well, I introduced a pressure shift, right?
I got you right to six o'clock and then I gave you a way to move up off the merry-go-round, right?
Like you've heard And then we've coupled it with that big move of that left butt moving down and back as you're doing it.
So you're not even having to really think about that right knee moving towards the left.
Again, those movements.
that are originally introduced to the people of masses are very, very big that are going to eventually need to be toned back.
That's why at every single one of these camps, and Craig will vouch for it as well, is that everybody goes, well, I was told I got to get my right knee over towards my left and my right foot's supposed to be, but then I was told that my right foot's supposed to be rolled to the instep.
This is all so conflicting.
Remember, we gave you that big movement at first to get your hips working.
eventually we're going to want to get your right foot closer to the floor and you're going to be rolled to the instep when this is all said and done.
Just like for those of you that took some time out of your day to watch the Hudson's Watford video that we released the other day, right?
You saw his foot on the floor.
Think about and watch golf this weekend, right?
Watch them and watch a lot of the good ball strikers.
Don't watch their driver swings.
They're going to be moving up out of the ground, but watch their iron play, right?
Watch their trail foot specifically.
You're going to see a lot of them with it down on the floor.
You'll see some of them with it up off the ground, but you'll see a bulk of them when they're in stock shot format with Just like this.
Just like that.
Boom.
Why?
Helps you maintain posture, helps stall the body out, helps let those hands and arms pass in front.
If you're actively turning up and through the shot, you're creating posture issues, you're making it harder for you to release the club in time.
So all we're doing today is we're expanding on the nine to three.
And I'm going to give you a couple little checkpoints.
And for you lead side dominant players, I'm going to give you a way to practice.
Getting your hands and arms into the vertical plane and get them into that on plane position, and you're going to see that.
That's all I have to do.
Yep, that's all you have to do.
And then from there, what do you think happens?
Well, the same thing that's going to be happening from a nine right?
This is just how you sequence a golf swing.
It's using this stuff first that moves the arms and the shoulders into position or the shoulders and the arms into position, okay?
So for you lead side dominant players, we're gonna go to almost the final slide, slide 18.
Now the way I want you to practice this is we're going to start out without the golf club in our hands.
You guys at home that are working, want to be interactive with me?
Perfect.
I want you to do that.
But you're going to set up with your arm hanging down freely from your shoulders.
And we're going to work on making that pressure shift over to our trail side.
How do we do that?
Well, we let our right hip move back towards our right ankle.
Okay.
And then what we're going to do from here is we're going to take our right shoulder and we're going to pull it back behind our head as far as we can.
And we're going to let our left arm.
elevate above our right shoulder.
Now, when you do this, it's going to feel heavy.
It's going to feel like you've got some tension in there.
You're going to feel like, man, that actually feels like work.
You don't have to hold it that long.
But what you want to think about is the only function that your left arm has in the golf swing functions is elevation and wrist and forearm rotation and wrist set.
That's it.
So a little bit of elevation.
And a little bit of wrist and forearm rotation.
A little bit of wrist set.
That's it.
It doesn't have any of this movement.
It gets moved like that by your body turn.
What you're going to be looking for at the top of the golf swing is after you pressure shift and you turn, is you're going to try to get the hand just above the right shoulder.
Okay?
And you're going to make sure that your left wrist is anatomically flat.
This is going to be easier to feel here in just a moment.
Okay?
So your left wrist is going to be anatomically flat.
Now notice where my wrist and my forearm are facing.
You can see that.
It's facing up towards the sky here.
Okay.
Not fully up there, but it's facing kind of up in that direction.
I'll face way out in front of me.
And then my left wrist is anatomically flat.
So I'm going to turn.
Okay.
That's what you're going to work Now, when you start getting the hang of that, bring the club back in very quickly, but flip the club upside down and do a bunch of reps with no weight there.
Why?
Momentum and inertia sometimes becomes your worst enemy because then you start trying to swing the club.
So keep the club light.
Same thing.
So you're going to do.
Three or four reps where you press your shift, big turn, let your wrist flatten off.
Now, your arm should be fairly straight.
We want it to be straight, passively straight, not ramrod straight where you're making like a workout program and you're sweating.
If you see a little bit of bend in it when you're doing a left arm only swing, don't panic.
Don't be like, I gotta go back to the drawing board here because I got my left arm bent and there's only a couple of people that I've seen ever play golf like that, right?
No.
When the right hand's not in the club, it's not offering any support, okay?
So let's give it some support.
So after you do these two or three reps where you pressure shift, you turn, you make sure your left wrist is flat, okay?
Pressure shift, turn, left wrist flat, arm up above the right shoulder.
Pressure shift, turn.
Now, bring the right hand back to the side of the club and just touch it.
And when I mean touch it, watch.
I just mean touch it.
When you do that, for those of you at home that are actually working through this, how much less tense did you feel on your left shoulder when you brought that hand in there just to touch the shaft?
Should feel like you can relax a little bit, right?
So the right hand and right arm offer support.
Okay, that's all it's doing.
Now, your right arm can screw some things up here.
We want your right hand and right arm to be reacting to what the left arm is doing.
So if I elevate my left arm, my right arm should be coming with it.
If I rotate my left wrist, My right wrist should be rotating with it.
If you don't allow for these movements to happen, you create resistance.
So let's talk about what resistance means.
If I take my hands and my arms and I put them in front of my body, right, with my palms touching, and I take my left arm and I push it across my center, my right arm is eventually going to break.
So what did my wrist and my forearm not do here?
Well, it didn't rotate, right?
Your wrists and your forearms, if I take this and I now turn my palms to where my left.
Wrist is facing towards the sky.
My right wrist is facing down the ground.
Your wrists and your forearms will row together.
Don't start resisting from what the lead side is doing.
So when this guy follows along with it, let it react to it.
Now, for those of you that have had a flying elbow issue in the past, where you get your right elbow up back here, okay?
A way to fix that is to, first off, check your humerus rotation.
So you need external humerus rotation to be able to fix this.
What I mean is if you hold your right arm straight out in front of your body and you flex it to like 90 degrees, without moving your arm away from your body like this, move your hand away from your face, right?
So you can see that I've got a lot of external humerus rotation.
There are lots of people in this room, lots of people that don't have any mobility.
They can't move, physically move their hand away.
Why?
Well, because maybe you've had rotator cuff surgery.
Maybe you need rotator cuff surgery.
Maybe you've got a frozen shoulder.
Maybe you've got.
issues with mobility.
Okay.
But the point is, is that what you need to be able to feel is if you're going to keep that elbow in line with the body at the top of the swing, is you need to maintain the space that you have between the forearms and elbows at address.
What?
Yes.
So at address, you have space between your forearms and your elbows.
This is an increase in space.
If you maintain that space, but doing it tension -free and you allow your wrist and forearm to rotate, then guess what?
Your golf swing is going to look very pretty at the top, okay?
Just by turning, allowing your wrist to rotate and hold your elbows together.
That's all I have to do, Chris.
Yes, that's all you guys have to do is just literally let the right hand, right arm react and keep the elbow close to the left.
So how do I want you to practice this?
Well, after you've done reps where they're left arm only, now you've got the club on the heavy end.
You're going to pressure shift, turn.
Bring the right hand back to it.
Now I want you to go back down to the bottom of the right hand on the club, and I want you to go back up to that same position.
Okay, we're going to do this three or four or five reps.
Okay, I'm just touching the club from the right hand.
I'm letting it react.
Now, how do we get down from there?
How do we get down from that?
We use the merry ground, right?
That version of what I've been talking about, 6, 7, 8, 9, this is going to start changing the direction.
My hips start moving back this way.
Guess what?
Your shoulders and your arms coming with it.
Now, I see a question that relates to this.
Does 7, 8, 9 happen first, then your butt down, or is it done at the same time?
It's done at the exact same time.
So as soon as you start moving from 6 o 'clock through 7, 8, 9, that is going to start initiating the shift, right?
That is going to start moving the hips in the direction of the lead side.
You're counterbalancing that by thinking down and back right away.
So as you start getting to nine o'clock, which is the end of this, the merry-go-round, right?
When you start to work to get off of it, okay, if you're thinking down and back, you should have moved the hips all the way to neutral, right?
They should have already been there.
That opens the hips up as well.
So it's happening all together.
It's a blended movement.
And the key to this is when to move, right?
So as soon as you finish off your body turn, okay, and you feel that six o 'clock position is now you start moving.
Don't think about it from a hand and arm position standpoint, right?
A lot of you are gonna think about, well, I gotta get my hands and arms right up to that spot that Chris just showed me on camera.
I gotta get there.
No, your signals are going to come from your load and your body turn.
And this is one of the more common mistakes I see from students is that, watch.
Watch this very closely, okay?
I'm gonna do a little trick on you guys.
So how many of you at home think that this is a good backswing position?
Okay, how many?
Probably everybody, right?
So if you look at it again, okay, now look at it from face on.
How bad is it?
It's real bad, why?
Because I didn't freaking turn my body, right?
I can make.
It looked really good from down the line really quickly just by knowing where my arms are going.
I see it every single day.
I actually did reviews.
I started doing reviews pretty early this morning just because I knew we had camp today.
And I would say 25% of the reviews that I did had that sort of appearance, not that drastic.
Why?
Because it's very easy for us to move the club around our body with hands and arms, right?
It's very easy for us to push that left arm across your center.
What happens is, is your left shoulder gets loaded up really tight and you can't turn anymore.
And when you can't turn anymore, guess what's happening?
Now your arms are going to fire too quickly in the sequence.
So a simple way for you guys at home to fix this is go back through what we did in session number one.
What did we do in session number one?
Well, we set up, we pressure shifted, and we pulled our right shoulder behind our head.
If you do this for 10 to 15 reps or Okay.
Now you put your arm movements back in there.
Okay.
So you're going to put your arm moving back in there.
Left arm hanging down freely.
You're going to pressure shift and turn.
Look how much more I turn.
Okay.
See, this is how you have to be able to make changes is understanding where you need to move from.
Think about that.
Understand where you need to move from.
So pressure first, body turn second, hand and arm movements, in this golf swing are so small.
Our mantra at rotary swing is big.
Sorry, I didn't mean to blow your ears up.
Big, big body turn.
Teeny, tiny little arm movement.
Small arm movement.
Arm movements are this.
So elevation, there's flexion, and there's wrist and forearm rotation.
A little bit of wrist set.
That's it.
Those are the movements.
How many of you at home can do this?
Probably pretty easy, right?
Easy movement.
Now watch.
This is my position.
If I go into golf posture, watch.
Look familiar?
All I did was turn to get my hands and arms into that position.
That's all I did.
So, body turn has to be one of your primary focuses.
Now, going back to what I said to you guys at the start of the session today.
The reason why we revamped this is because when we gave everybody all this big arm movement, what we saw was, and if you look at it on, camera from face on, what's my body not doing?
It's not turning, right?
So what we have to do is we've got to think about these arm movements that you're going to learn today, being synced back to the weight shift and the body turn.
You get that stuff right?
You're cooking with some hot sauce here, okay?
So the way that I want you guys to practice this is I want you to start out without the golf club in your hands.
I want you to start out with your right hand behind your back, okay?
Left arm hanging freely.
Pressure shift.
Good turn.
Left arm above your right shoulder.
Left wrist flat.
You do this 5, 10, 15 reps.
Making sure that you turn.
Then you can bring the club back in.
Upside down.
Same thing.
I'm not going to do 15 reps at a time.
We're on time constraints here.
So I've got my arm hanging down freely.
Pressure shift.
Turn.
God, my posture is so bad.
You guys should.
Like send me to kangaroo court or dock me on that.
Let me get into a good setup and demonstrate.
Okay.
Pressure shift, body turn.
Pressure shift, body turn.
Okay.
Now you can bring the right hand back up, support it.
Try to get the feel of what it's like to have your right arm in that spot.
Okay.
1000 Now you can flip the club back over.
1001 Pressure shift, turn.
1002 In the right hand, come down to the 1003 bottom, and then right back up to the 1004 top.
1005 Remember, pressure shift and turn by 1006 pulling that right shoulder back behind 1007 your head.
1008 Okay?
Now, 1009 how's the workout?
It's hot in here.
1010 Static positions don't do us a whole lot 1011 of good, right?
1012 Yeah, they can look really pretty, but we 1013 gotta start moving.
1014 What you wanna start doing is as you 1015 start making the swing longer, is as you 1016 start feeling your body get to that 1017 completed turn, Now focus on switching 1018 your attention down to that merry-go 1019 -round, getting your legs to start going 1020 aggressively to that position.
Even if it 1021 happens maybe a fraction sooner than what 1022 you were anticipating, at least you know 1023 you're motoring your golf swing from your 1024 lower body.
1025 That's why we've always worked off of 1026 what?
1027 Well, 1028 starting the down swing before the back 1029 swing is complete.
So you start this 1030 transition.
As soon as you feel that coil 1031 up sensation, as soon as you feel like 1032 you're getting to 90 degrees, 1033 aggressively get from six o'clock.
1034 through 7, 8, 9, and get those hips 1035 opened up.
1036 Remember, a good way to do this when we 1037 start blending it all together is to put 1038 yourself in the position where you're 1039 going to try to get to.
1040 There's a video that's going to be coming 1041 out very soon on this exact same thing.
I 1042 just filmed it yesterday.
1043 Get to this position.
Hold it static.
1044 Okay?
1045 Now what you're going to do is you're 1046 going to try your best to make big full 1047 turn.
1048 Okay?
1049 With the right hand touching the side of 1050 the club.
1051 Okay, so we're gonna make good pressure 1052 shift, big turn.
1053 Okay, and now I'm starting to move into 1054 and through that position.
I've got a lot 1055 of momentum and inertia that's happening, 1056 so it was hard for me to stop in those 1057 positions.
I'm not trying to stop at this 1058 point.
1059 So is that something that you guys can do 1060 once you become really proficient from 1061 hip high to hip high, 1062 then chest tight to chest tight, and to 1063 shoulder height?
Of course you can.
1064 That's why we said to you, start small.
1065 If you can sync this up from here, 1066 to here, and then here to here, and then 1067 as you get more turn, you can do the 1068 whole golf swing just like we outlined it 1069 for you.
The positions at the top of the 1070 swing, what you're looking for as far as 1071 checkpoints are concerned, just so you 1072 understand, is you want the right elbow 1073 to be kind of right at the base of the 1074 chest.
1075 Left wrist nice and flat, 1076 right wrist in a very passive position, 1077 almost like you're a waiter holding a 1078 tray.
Now, One of the things that people 1079 have asked us in the past is, how does 1080 the left wrist move to a flat position?
1081 Well, as the wrist begins to rotate, 1082 going back, it's going to continue to 1083 rotate.
And so momentum and inertia is 1084 actually pulling in this direction back 1085 here behind me.
It's going to actually 1086 pull that wrist into that anatomically 1087 flat position.
Some of you might even get 1088 that Dustin Johnson look, depending on 1089 how much rotation you get from your wrist 1090 and forearm, where you have your wrist 1091 bowed.
That's a little bit overdone.
1092 Who can argue with him, right?
1093 That's how you complete your backswing 1094 and how you get your golf swing started 1095 in the other direction.
So for those of 1096 you at home that have been battling with 1097 your arms maybe moving too much early on, 1098 or maybe you can't make a full turn, then 1099 strip it down.
I guarantee it.
Like every 1100 single one of you in this room, if you 1101 came to Orlando and we were having a golf 1102 lesson, your lesson would start out just 1103 like this.
I would have you pressure 1104 shift and turn, and I would have you tell 1105 me where you feel load.
1106 Most of you would feel your right butt.
1107 Most of you would feel your midsection.
1108 Okay.
Then I would have you pick the club 1109 up.
And the very first swing that you 1110 make when you go up top, when you focus 1111 on those movements, I would say, okay, 1112 what do you feel?
1113 And you would say, my golf swing feels 1114 really short and really tight.
Try it.
1115 Every one of you at home should try it.
1116 It'll feel short and tight.
Why?
Because 1117 your brain responds to muscle tension.
1118 You just gave it muscle tension.
Where?
1119 On my right booty.
Okay.
I didn't mean to 1120 spank myself.
Sorry.
1121 Just a lot of enthusiasm today, right?
I 1122 feel it in my right booty and I feel my 1123 midsection.
Those are the signals that my 1124 brain just got.
My signals didn't go 1125 through my arms and my shoulders.
Okay.
1126 There was a little bit of tension there 1127 just to help support the club, but 1128 nothing compared to what my body just 1129 felt.
1130 I encourage you to try that all out.
I 1131 encourage you.
1132 If you find that all of a sudden, no, I 1133 don't feel those signals.
I'm not getting 1134 those signals.
And that's when we would 1135 need to take a look at your golf swing.
1136 Some of you might be already doing that 1137 very well.
So you might have ingrained 1138 movement that you don't really have to 1139 feel those things.
So we would look at 1140 your downswing sequence very closely to 1141 see if you were actually firing in the 1142 correct order.
1143 Now, 1144 trail side dominant releasers.
1145 I need some water first.
1146 Trail side people, if you have not seen 1147 the axiom arm movement, I'm gonna 1148 demonstrate it right now.
1149 I personally have tried this out.
I don't 1150 like it.
I don't like it because I'm a 1151 lead side dominant releaser and I don't 1152 like having extra arm movement in my 1153 swing.
I just don't.
I have a very short, 1154 compact golf swing.
I've got short arms.
1155 I've got a long torso.
1156 And so I've always had just a very 1157 compact golf swing that was very reliant 1158 on a lot of leverage.
1159 So feeling this movement was a lot for 1160 me, but I have to be open-minded when it 1161 comes to golf instruction because When 1162 you look at golf instruction as a whole, 1163 and none of us agree on anything, right?
1164 If it helps somebody fix something in 1165 their golf swing, then who am I to get in 1166 the way of it, right?
That's why I'm 1167 telling you when I watch, I'm not going 1168 to mention his name, but I'm sure some of 1169 you have seen him.
There's a guy that 1170 just dances around with a sword and tells 1171 everybody Kung Pao Chicken.
He teaches 1172 people reverse pivot.
He teaches 1173 something that is very dangerous on the 1174 body.
And when you read the YouTube 1175 comments underneath his videos, I'm like, 1176 man, I should, like.
I needed to get some 1177 of those people because people on YouTube 1178 can be ruthless.
Believe it or not, they 1179 can be ruthless.
I had people threaten my 1180 family at one point.
1181 Pretty crazy stuff.
1182 But when I was thinking about it, I was 1183 like, who am I to chime in to his cult 1184 following?
He's got a big following.
1185 And people were like, this is amazing.
1186 I'm hitting the ball so great.
I'm like, 1187 that's it.
So I can't get onto his 1188 YouTube comments and be like, you're 1189 going to blow people's backs out.
If 1190 people are getting success with it, 1191 great.
1192 Axiom and the arm movement.
Got people's 1193 success.
How do I know?
Because I saw it.
1194 I saw it.
I saw people doing some things 1195 that they've never done before.
So this 1196 right arm movement is just like the 1197 footwork.
Everything works in the same 1198 direction with an axiom.
So you're going 1199 to think about just making a big 1200 clockwise circle, okay?
This circle right 1201 here is going to be synced up with your 1202 footwork.
So as you start moving off a 1203 six o'clock and you start moving off the 1204 merry-go-round, what do you think you're 1205 going to be doing with your arm?
Well, 1206 you're going to be strumming up on the 1207 guitar, right?
And so this movement right 1208 here was a movement that freed people up, 1209 number one, but it also taught you 1210 really, really big habitual offenders of 1211 swinging the club over the top on how to 1212 shallow the golf swing out.
Now, that 1213 seems to be a really sexy terminology in 1214 the golf instruction world right now is 1215 shallowing the club or shallowing the 1216 swing.
1217 Shallowing the swing is so flipping 1218 freaking easy if you just stop.
using 1219 your arms and your shoulders on the way 1220 down.
If you think about letting your 1221 arms and shoulders get moved down in 1222 there, just like you would if you threw a 1223 ball, okay, you don't start with your arm 1224 first, do you?
1225 Unless you're uncoordinated, okay, I'm 1226 making fun of you, but everybody that has 1227 ever thrown a ball doesn't throw a ball 1228 like this, right?
You've seen people 1229 throw a ball like that, but why do they 1230 do that?
1231 Well, because they didn't learn 1232 synchronization of movements when it 1233 comes to hitting or throwing.
That 1234 doesn't mean that they're dumb.
1235 They just didn't learn that phase.
1236 So I'm watching my two-year-old pick up a 1237 ball and throw it.
He's starting to do 1238 sequence.
So that's a good thing.
1239 So the same thing goes with a golf swing.
1240 But for some reason, when we get this 1241 thing in our hands and we get this thing 1242 on the ground, 1243 all hell comes loose because we try to 1244 hit it.
And where you try to hit it from, 1245 you try to hit it from your hands and 1246 your arms.
I promise you.
1247 So this clockwise movement is now going 1248 to be synced up to your lower body.
1249 So you can do this as you're going back 1250 around the clock, you're moving off at 1251 six o'clock up through seven, eight, 1252 nine.
And the original axiom movement 1253 with the legwork is having the right knee 1254 move towards the left.
We've toned that 1255 way back here in bootcamp.
You've gotten 1256 the RST version of it.
1257 Okay.
With a little bit of help from the 1258 seven, eight, nine.
So it's a little 1259 blended together.
It's, we call it the, 1260 I'm not going to, we'll call it the 1261 Chrissium and the Craigium.
1262 That was a little joke for you guys.
1263 Okay.
1264 So that's the whole basis of what you're 1265 doing.
Now, when you bring the club back 1266 in the mix, 1267 there's crickets on that joke, I get it.
1268 When you bring the club back in the mix, 1269 you can certainly do this.
I'm not gonna 1270 do it in big circle motion, but you're 1271 gonna wanna try to feel that, okay?
1272 That same movement, 1273 okay?
You're gonna wanna feel that same 1274 movement and it's gonna start getting 1275 synced up and you're gonna start getting 1276 this sort of shallow feeling.
Now, we did 1277 see some faults pop up out of that where 1278 we saw people start getting 1279 you know, a little bit stuck on the way 1280 down and didn't know how to get things 1281 back out in front.
But remember, when the 1282 left hand comes back on the club, it's 1283 gonna make that circle a whole lot less 1284 pronounced.
So if you watch, I'm gonna 1285 try to make a big circle with my right 1286 arm.
It just, the left arm kind of 1287 restricts it.
So you're gonna start out 1288 by making some really big circles, but 1289 those circles over time are gonna become 1290 smaller and smaller.
1291 Okay, and when you start looking at it, 1292 it's actually gonna look 1293 like a lead side dominant backswing 1294 position.
It's going to look the same.
1295 It just, it takes time.
So you have to 1296 start with bigger circles.
Those circles 1297 will become smaller and smaller and 1298 smaller.
1299 When the left hand comes on there, it 1300 does add drag to it.
So it helps keep the 1301 arms from going way too far behind you.
1302 But that's the basis of how you get your 1303 hands and your arms to the top of the 1304 swing.
1305 Look at Matthew Wolfe, right?
He has that 1306 very similar movement where his hands and 1307 arms are moving out away from his body.
1308 But if you look at his positions, 1309 especially his delivery point, That's 1310 exactly what we've been teaching you, 1311 right?
So all of this stuff that we're 1312 doing is getting the hands and arms into 1313 a good spot and getting them back down in 1314 front of you.
So for those of you that 1315 have always been one of these really big 1316 heavers of the club, then you're going to 1317 want to do some axiom movement with your 1318 arms.
You're going to want to feel that 1319 at first to help shallow things out and 1320 sync it back up with the lower body 1321 movement that we've been working on, 1322 right?
So as soon as you get that arm 1323 goods back, you get into six o'clock, 1324 you're aggressively moving up.
1325 Off of that merry-go-round, you can 1326 couple it back with our secret sauce.
1327 Boom shakabaka, right?
Boom shakalaka.
1328 That's it.
1329 So as I said to you, I wasn't a big fan 1330 of it myself because I didn't want to 1331 feel that big movement.
I don't like 1332 feeling the club go way outside my hands 1333 and arms.
Some of you need to feel that.
1334 It's actually age-old golf instruction if 1335 you really kind of boil it down.
1336 If we want to get the club to go to the 1337 inside, well, we would take it way 1338 outside.
If we want the club to go over 1339 the top, well, we would flip it way 1340 inside and then try to reroute it, right?
1341 Just a different way for you to think 1342 about movement and stop trying to think 1343 about all of the technical minutia that 1344 surrounds a golf swing.
1345 So today is all about, it's not my 1346 favorite stuff because really, how many 1347 of you are going to be above the nine to 1348 three perfection, right?
How many of you 1349 would sit in this room?
And I can tell 1350 you right now, If I were to play golf, 1351 I'm a pretty good player still.
I would 1352 want to be really good at this section 1353 before I started going a little bit 1354 further back.
1355 But I gave you the information that helps 1356 you finish this stuff off.
That's what 1357 we're here for.
You want the whole golf 1358 swing to start coming together.
But 1359 remember, the win in this camp for you at 1360 home, the way that you take and get the 1361 most success with this stuff is following 1362 the level of progression in the order we 1363 gave it to you.
1364 You have to go through that order.
If you 1365 don't understand how important it is to 1366 get your hips to do this, 1367 right, to get your hips to do that, and 1368 you don't understand how important it is 1369 to get to here, to here, to here, then 1370 please, please stick around because we 1371 got a long talking today.
We got a lot of 1372 talking.
The rest of the stuff that 1373 happens above this area is all just 1374 adding speed to the golf swing.
1375 So how many of you 1376 at home think that you could take these 1377 movements, practice them, and start 1378 getting the golf club in there and start 1379 compressing the golf ball?
How many of 1380 you at home think that?
You have the 1381 tools and the resources and the necessary 1382 means to be able to go out there and 1383 start building a golf swing that gets you 1384 to this position?
1385 I would think every one of you.
I would 1386 think that if you follow this plan and 1387 you go through it step by step and you 1388 practice things the proper way, then 1389 you're ready to go, right?
Now, The 1390 practice is not going to change from what 1391 I did for you guys at the last session.
I 1392 taught you guys how to stack in.
That was 1393 the whole purpose of session number three 1394 was to teach you guys how to stack and 1395 blend, stack and blend, stack and blend.
1396 Now I know there's somebody in this room 1397 right now.
Maybe it's many of you that 1398 are going to be like, well, what should I 1399 do?
What's my practice program?
Your 1400 practice program is going to be far 1401 different than the other 22 people that 1402 are standing behind you or the other 50 1403 people standing behind you.
Why?
Because 1404 you're at different phases.
1405 You're at different phases of your swing 1406 change.
1407 So if you want me to give you the way 1408 that I would practice it, then I would 1409 start out by doing my lower body 1410 movement.
I would make sure that my setup 1411 is good.
I would make sure that I'm 1412 pressure shifting, turning, aggressively 1413 moving to this spot.
I would check to 1414 make sure my impact position was good.
1415 Hold that static.
1416 Good.
Now I'm going to get my left arm 1417 hanging freely.
I'm going to do some reps 1418 like this.
1419 Then I'm going to start blending them 1420 together, 1421 right?
1422 Making these little small swings.
And I'm 1423 going to bring the club back in.
And you 1424 can see that I'm going pretty fast.
Why?
1425 Because I'm ingrained.
I'm ingrained to 1426 do so, right?
You at home, maybe not 1427 ingrained to do that lower body movement 1428 even perfect yet.
So that doesn't mean 1429 that you shouldn't be practicing or you 1430 should just stop doing what you're doing.
1431 Keep working on it.
And then get to the 1432 point where now you get your arm freed up 1433 and then slowly start blending them 1434 together.
Even if you're at the point 1435 where you're pressure shifting, keeping 1436 your arm here, 1437 getting to impact, and then letting it 1438 release, totally fine.
1439 Work at the speed that you're comfortable 1440 with.
I gave you all of the tools.
We 1441 gave you all of the tools that you need 1442 to build the swing.
1443 Movement is easy for me to teach you.
1444 Positions are easy for me to teach you.
1445 Blending them together is the hard part.
1446 You have to know when to go and put it on 1447 the accelerator.
1448 So after you get proficient with that, 1449 You get the club back in your hands.
1450 You're really starting to let it release 1451 on through.
You get the right hand back 1452 on there.
1453 These are just hip high to hip high 1454 swings.
1455 Then you can start going into nine to 1456 three.
1457 Once you look at it and you know that 1458 you're doing these things right, then you 1459 can start making the swing longer.
You 1460 can start getting into those full 1461 backswing positions and aggressively 1462 moving through them.
You're going to get 1463 to the point where this is going to be a 1464 full swing.
1465 That's the whole point of what we're 1466 teaching you is to take, do the important 1467 things first, start small, 1468 keep things stripped down, 1469 blend together, add more to it as you get 1470 more proficient with it.
And that's it.
1471 That's it.
1472 How do we do, right?
How do you guys feel 1473 about it?
I hope that you guys took this 1474 session as an understanding of.
All we're 1475 doing is just giving you the pieces of 1476 the puzzle that get you from 1477 shoulder height to shoulder, right up to 1478 the finish, which is now a piece of cake.
1479 I gave you a lead side dominant way and I 1480 gave you a trail side dominant way.
1481 You're just going to make clockwise 1482 circles.
1483 Okay.
You're going to bring the arm back 1484 in and the club back in, and you're going 1485 to do the same thing with your lower 1486 body.
Lower body is going to be working 1487 off of pressure, secret sauce movement 1488 into the left side, and you're good.
1489 It's all coupled back with just this 1490 little bit of elevation with the left arm 1491 or this little bit of clockwise circle 1492 with the right arm.
1493 That's it.
So now, 1494 I'm going to answer some questions 1495 because I'm sure there's a lot.
Today is 1496 a very, very important day for questions 1497 because nobody in this room should leave 1498 without having everything answered in 1499 their brain.
Do you want me to 1500 demonstrate something?
By all means, ask 1501 me to demonstrate.
I'm here to get all, 1502 this is a day that's for you.
This is not 1503 about me.
And so if I have to stay on 1504 here a little bit extended to help 1505 everybody get their stuff answered, so be 1506 it.
If you want to jump off now and you 1507 want to come back and read the, or come 1508 back to the Q&A.
1509 at another time.
That's totally fine.
I 1510 want to say thank you to you though.
I 1511 want to thank you guys for sitting 1512 through these four sessions and having a 1513 better understanding, hopefully having a 1514 better understanding of how you're going 1515 to build this stuff.
Okay.
I know it 1516 sucks to go slow and start kind of chunky 1517 like this, but it's the best pathway, 1518 right?
It gives you the foundation.
1519 It gives you a way to be able to move and 1520 it gives you the important parts first so 1521 that you can start hitting golf balls 1522 right away.
Now, I will say Q&A is 1523 really, really hard on this platform for 1524 some reason for us to manage.
So if I 1525 miss your question, please don't think 1526 that I'm trying to bypass your question.
1527 I can't keep going back and forth between 1528 monitors and scrolling and still see 1529 where everybody's at.
So if I miss your 1530 question, then please just copy and paste 1531 it.
Okay, I'll get to it.
1532 Now, 1533 I would emphasize to watch the reverse 1534 bike video.
It shows very clearly 1535 exactly.
1536 backwards brain bicycle.
Thank you, 1537 Michael K.
Appreciate that.
Driver, you 1538 said you would talk about it.
1539 So you guys are funny.
You guys have 1540 been, I'll tell you right now, the 1541 questions have been phenomenal.
1542 The questions have been great.
1543 They really have.
Shows that you guys are 1544 really, really golf nutty and shows that 1545 you guys want to have an understanding of 1546 this stuff, right?
1547 So driver swings.
1548 This is the only golf club in our bag.
1549 that is set up for positive angle of 1550 attack, 1551 okay?
It's the only club.
1552 What positive angle of attack means is 1553 that we're trying to hit more up on the 1554 golf ball, okay?
So we're trying to get 1555 the ball launching in the air.
Now, some 1556 adjustments that we make with the driver, 1557 so for two inches outside of neutral, 1558 okay, for our iron swings, okay?
1559 You can get a little bit wider.
Now, 1560 stance width, I don't want you guessing 1561 on this stuff.
Okay, you can play around 1562 with it.
Have some free reign with it.
1563 Same thing with ball position.
This is 1564 typically what my driver's stance width 1565 looks like.
I get pretty wide.
My ball 1566 position, I generally play around with it 1567 on the lead toe all the way back inside 1568 the lead heel.
It's just very dependent 1569 on what kind of shot I'm trying to hit.
1570 Sometimes I even move it back into the 1571 left ear just if I'm trying to hit like a 1572 squeeze cut or something of that nature.
1573 Now, the reason why we increase our 1574 stance width is multifaceted.
1575 It provides more stability.
If I came 1576 over and tried to knock you over from a 1577 wider stance, you're a little bit more 1578 stable to the ground.
But what it also 1579 produces, if you think about this, when 1580 my hips are moving further left to 1581 neutral, my spine is going to now have 1582 more what?
Well, we call this secondary 1583 axis tilt, right?
So more secondary axis 1584 tilt means what?
1585 Well, it means the swing plane is more 1586 shallow, and it also helps get the club 1587 more on an ascending blow than a 1588 descending blow, right?
So most golfers, 1589 you're going to see that optimize with 1590 their driver, And I'm not going to go 1591 through 1592 all of the nuts and bolts of this because 1593 I've got a driver optimization workshop 1594 coming up that most of you are attending.
1595 Most of them will see that are up between 1596 four and six degrees.
You'll see some 1597 people upwards of eight, nine, 10 1598 degrees.
1599 You'll see on the PGA Tour right now, 1600 which is baffling to me because these 1601 guys all have TrackMan.
They all have 1602 TrackMan out there on the range with them 1603 or GC Quad or FlightScope.
1604 Go to a PGA Tour event and look at them.
1605 Every one of them's got it back there.
1606 The PGA Tour average right now is down 1 1607 .
3 degrees.
1608 What?
1609 So they're still hitting down on the golf 1610 ball.
Now, if you go watch them, there's 1611 still a very, very large amount of them 1612 that hit up on it.
Bryson is way up on 1613 it.
There is plenty of people still 1614 hitting up on the golf ball, but the fair 1615 amount of them still hit down on it.
Why?
1616 Well, if you look at their ball flights, 1617 okay, 1618 playing professionals know that they have 1619 to have a club de-lofted.
You go out 1620 there and you watch your ball flight, it 1621 comes out flat, right?
You don't see a 1622 lot of this poofy stuff.
Now, You will 1623 see it from the guys that are launching 1624 the ball, right?
You'll see their launch 1625 angle is quite a bit higher.
But you'll 1626 see a lot of guys when they're out there 1627 hitting stock drivers that go out there 1628 really, really flat.
It's kind of fun to 1629 watch, 1630 right?
It's far different than a lot of 1631 the stuff you've ever seen.
1632 So there is still a good portion of those 1633 guys that are hitting down on it.
So the 1634 adjustments that we make with the driver 1635 is we're going to get a little bit wider 1636 in our base.
We're going to have the ball 1637 position a little bit more forward.
Both 1638 of these things help promote more of an 1639 ascending blow rather than descending.
1640 But remember, the more the ball position 1641 is forward, the more the path is left.
So 1642 sometimes you have to make adjustments 1643 where if I'm set up down the target line 1644 and I got my ball position forward, 1645 you're going to have to set up a little 1646 bit closed.
1647 These are things that you need to play 1648 around with, right?
Because everybody's 1649 path might be a little bit different.
1650 Everybody's launch angle might be a 1651 little bit different.
Everybody's release 1652 might be a little bit different.
So 1653 driver swings are not going to be any 1654 different as far as where movement and 1655 movement comes from, but you're going to 1656 produce different results down at the 1657 bottom because of the wider stance width 1658 and the ball position be more forward.
1659 This is secondary axis tilt.
It helps get 1660 the club more on the ascending blow 1661 rather than descending.
1662 Please review ball position for irons.
1663 Ball position for irons and fairway woods 1664 and hybrids is going to be off of your 1665 left ear.
1666 Sorry, I'm trying to get this in sight.
1667 Now, I did talk about the importance of 1668 the lead shoulder.
1669 Okay.
So ball position is going to be off 1670 your left ear.
1671 Okay.
Everybody see that?
1672 So you have to make sure you have a 1673 little bit of axis tilt here.
Ball 1674 position should be right off the left 1675 ear.
1676 Okay.
The reason for that is, is because 1677 we want to be able to hit down on the 1678 golf ball.
So we want the bottom of the 1679 arc.
It's not necessarily all the way in 1680 front of the ball, just so you guys 1681 understand.
This is like three quarters 1682 of the way through.
That's the bottom of 1683 the arc.
1684 So if you think about that, now we 1685 understand that the lead shoulder, I was 1686 doing a left arm only swing.
The club 1687 should bottom out underneath my left 1688 shoulder.
But as soon as my right hand is 1689 on the club, it moves that pivot point 1690 back slightly just inside my lead 1691 shoulder.
So obviously this position 1692 right here is just in front of my lead 1693 ear, right?
1694 That's why we want to have the ball 1695 position on the left ear.
1696 Okay.
That's the bottom of the swing.
1697 That's actually your square point too.
1698 All right.
So I'm going to answer 1699 questions, more questions here.
Do you 1700 need to release the driver sooner when 1701 you do release it with it?
1702 So this is a good question.
This is a 1703 tough one.
I got to be careful how I got 1704 to tread lightly.
1705 So lag, obviously, 1706 the further you maintain lag, the more 1707 forward shaft lean you would have.
1708 Theoretically, the release should start 1709 at the exact same time.
Now, when you 1710 have more secondary axis tilt, you're 1711 going to feel like the release is 1712 happening a little bit sooner.
But the 1713 post-up movement is the signal to make it 1714 happen.
1715 It's going to happen at the same time.
1716 But I'm going to tell you that there are 1717 some people that want to get the club 1718 really, really working where it's up.
1719 I'm one of those people where I try to 1720 feel like I'm throwing the club a little 1721 bit sooner.
And the reason for that is 1722 because I'm not playing a lot of golf.
So 1723 when I was playing my best golf and I was 1724 out there, I was right around 115 to 118.
1725 I was never one of those 120, 124, 125 1726 guys.
It was just 115 to 118.
I hit 1727 decent.
1728 But now I'm not playing as much.
And so 1729 my swing speed would be down 110, 112.
1730 And so to take advantage of the lack of 1731 speed, to help myself with lack of speed, 1732 then I swing it more from the inside and 1733 I release the club really hard.
So I get 1734 a lot more.
So I hit an in-to-out draw 1735 that helps kind of make up for some of 1736 the distance loss that I get for a lack 1737 of speed, right?
So there's some 1738 variability in there.
You just got to be 1739 careful with it.
1740 So doing nine to three range, I had lots 1741 of great ones, but I had two bad shots, 1742 the pull left and the shank.
Thoughts?
1743 Okay, Kim, awesome, awesome question.
1744 Okay.
So the shank generally is caused 1745 when you're working on nine to three 1746 swings from this movement right here.
So 1747 I want you to check that your left knee 1748 is not moving in towards the ball.
You 1749 don't want your knee going in that way.
1750 Okay.
I actually did a video on the 1751 shanks years ago.
It was like three cures 1752 to the shanks or whatever.
I hated making 1753 that video, by the way, 1754 because I don't even like saying the 1755 word.
Okay.
I had the shanks at one point 1756 in my life.
It's so funny.
1757 So.
The right knee moving in towards the 1758 ball is a good way for you to kind of get 1759 that happening.
That starts to shift it a 1760 little bit into out.
Now, when that 1761 starts to happen, you generally try to 1762 get your hands to become really reactive.
1763 Okay.
And you try to flip the club face 1764 over really fast.
And so anytime somebody 1765 shanks a golf ball, what's their next 1766 miss?
Well, you always see the ball go 1767 left really quickly.
So double check that 1768 first.
Now, if you're a hundred percent 1769 on the idea that the shank is coming, not 1770 from the inside.
And you're moving on top 1771 of it.
It could be a lot of right 1772 shoulder action and just way too much 1773 tension through the hands, the arms.
So 1774 you're going to want to try to reduce 1775 that tension and maybe think about kind 1776 of keeping your right shoulder back in 1777 behind your right ear.
When you're 1778 letting the club release, okay, so 1779 hopefully that helps you.
Um, another 1780 super like, big, big shout out to Master 1781 certified instructor Craig Morrow.
1782 Craig is like an absolute rock star.
He's 1783 been around for a long time.
He's been a 1784 great help to me in these boot camps.
1785 He's a phenomenal instructor.
He's got 1786 one of the best eyes in the game.
So 1787 thank you very much, Craig.
1788 I would encourage you guys, if you guys 1789 want the hand-holding experience after 1790 camp, both of us have spots open in our 1791 groups right now.
1792 Utilize us.
We'll help you in this 1793 process.
So thank you, Craig, for 1794 everything, man.
You've been awesome.
1795 So other questions?
1796 I'm encouraged after the first session.
1797 Good.
1798 I've accepted an invitation to play at 1799 WGV.
1800 I've been scoring in the low 100s and 1801 implementing the weight shift.
I shot 85.
1802 Freaking awesome, John.
That is awesome, 1803 man.
I'm so pumped to hear that.
1804 Not always pretty, but I can see.
1805 That's awesome, John.
Thank you so much 1806 for the note.
1807 Listen.
1808 Success is what we're here for.
We want 1809 you guys to get better at this stuff.
1810 A lot of times, it's difficult because we 1811 don't know how you guys are doing in 1812 these things.
1813 When we hear stuff like that, that's the 1814 best feeling in the world to a golf 1815 instructor that really cares.
1816 I don't think you know what sort of 1817 feeling that really creates because 1818 that's what we're here for.
1819 Now, I understand that there are people 1820 that are going to have a little bit of 1821 struggle periods.
Those hit us the 1822 hardest.
1823 They really do because 1824 We know how frustrating this sport could 1825 1826 It's a pain in the ass, right?
1827 So thank you very much for the note.
1828 When you rotate, should you rotate the 1829 maximum?
1830 So 90 degrees is fine.
If you can rotate 1831 past 90, like you can get to like 95, 1832 okay, you can get to 100.
1833 But don't start losing stability in your 1834 lower half to sacrifice that, right?
You 1835 still want to try to restrict your hips 1836 as much as you can at that point.
Because 1837 you don't need that added movement, 1838 right?
If you get to 90 degrees, that's 1839 plenty of movement to generate plenty of 1840 speed.
1841 Swing speed is a compilation of rotation, 1842 oops, 1843 rotation, width, and leverage.
And so we 1844 always like to balance the equation.
We 1845 like to give, you know, the kind of the 1846 middle of the road approach.
If you want 1847 to go and turn at, you know, 100 degrees 1848 and go to more width, by all means, you 1849 can do that, right?
We're totally fine 1850 with that.
Just don't put your body in 1851 harm's way.
And remember that when you 1852 are going into more rotation and more 1853 width, the equation is going to have to 1854 be rebalanced.
You're going to have to be 1855 a lot more patient to let the hands and 1856 arms work down in front of you.
You start 1857 being a little less patient, then you can 1858 have a little bit of a sequence-related 1859 issue through the bottom.
So we like to 1860 kind of keep things down the middle of 1861 the road.
That doesn't mean that we can't 1862 work within those confines, though.
If 1863 you want to be a little bit more 1864 rotational, we can do that.
1865 Same thing with people that are getting a 1866 little bit older in years, right?
You 1867 don't have to get to a full 90 degrees.
1868 You can sacrifice a little bit of that 1869 body turn.
right?
If that's, if you're 1870 just a little bit limited to mobility or 1871 maybe your hips are getting a little bit 1872 tired, then we can make some adjustments 1873 for this stuff.
1874 All right.
So Craig told me I'm too tense 1875 in my backswing and I have no lag.
How in 1876 layman's terms can it be corrected?
1877 So Craig told me I'm too tense in my 1878 backswing and I have no lag.
How in 1879 layman's terms can it be corrected?
So 1880 this is a good question.
And I'm sure 1881 Craig already answered this one.
Nope.
1882 I'm going to answer it for him.
1883 1884 If you think about where you're probably 1885 moving from when you're too tense, is 1886 you're probably moving from your hands 1887 and your arms.
Your hands, your arms, and 1888 your wrists are all just like every other 1889 muscle group in the body.
That's why if 1890 you think about people that start setting 1891 their wrists really early, right?
If you 1892 look at it from face on, they move the 1893 club like this.
That's an exaggeration, 1894 right?
They get a lot of wrist action.
1895 What's that doing?
1896 Well, that's loading up your fast twitch 1897 muscles.
That's starting the stretch 1898 shortening cycle.
That's starting to 1899 move.
And so when you start getting up 1900 there, if you really created all that 1901 tension, you're going to start moving 1902 from there.
So that's in layman's terms 1903 what's happening.
So you're not loading 1904 your body up in the correct order.
That's 1905 what today's session was, was to teach 1906 you how to get things moving in the 1907 correct order and then slowly bringing 1908 the arm movements back in.
If you're 1909 firing from the top with your hands and 1910 your arms too much, then you're not 1911 focused enough down here.
Remember, 1912 you're going to create force of movement.
1913 from your lower half, right?
This is 1914 where we want you to focus on.
If you 1915 don't do this stuff right, okay, you have 1916 no idea where these things are moving to 1917 and you never get to that post-up 1918 position, then you're moving from your 1919 upper half.
So in layman's terms, you're 1920 just moving really early on from your 1921 smaller muscles because you're really 1922 tense there.
And then when you start 1923 moving there, you're going to move from 1924 there in the downswing.
It's cause and 1925 effect.
1926 All right.
So can it see when the trail 1927 knee is going towards the ball during the 1928 downswing, should your thought be to Bank 1929 the trail foot more on the transition or 1930 get off the merry-go-round sooner.
1931 So if the trail knee is going in towards 1932 the golf ball, should the thought be to 1933 bank the trail foot in more on the 1934 transition or get off the merry-go-round 1935 sooner?
So I actually like the idea of 1936 more instep roll to the right foot, 1937 right?
So if you feel like you're rolling 1938 more to the instep here and with your 1939 weight finishing to nine o'clock, that 1940 should keep the right knee from moving 1941 1942 All right.
So if you look at this 1943 movement, my right foot rolls in.
1944 Now this movement right here is the knee 1945 kind of moving in towards the shot.
1946 Another way to correct that is actually 1947 the real axiom movement from the right 1948 side would be the knee moving towards the 1949 left to replace this, not in towards the 1950 golf ball.
I don't like that movement per 1951 se because when people were doing it, I 1952 saw a lot of people going into early 1953 extension.
1954 I saw a lot of people not being able to 1955 control rotation at that point and just 1956 being a little bit late to release the 1957 club.
So that's why we kind of tone 1958 things back for these camps.
1959 So there's a lot of talk about hand 1960 movements throughout the swing.
I 1961 understand flexion and hinge with axiom.
1962 Do we consciously need to hold our hands 1963 and wrists?
1964 So do we actually need to hold our wrists 1965 in a certain way from the top of the 1966 swing?
1967 So no.
So your job, in order to preserve 1968 lag, is set it and forget it, right?
If 1969 you get to a position at the top, like 1970 this is 80% of my max range of motion.
1971 That's max range of motion.
So this is a 1972 position where I'm just trying to get 1973 things set.
Yeah, I've got a little bit 1974 of control of it.
But if I've got a 1975 little bit of control of it and I'm not 1976 overusing my hands and my arms to get 1977 there, then your job is just to let your 1978 hands and arms come down.
Now, for those 1979 of you that want to actively try to move 1980 the club out away from you, you might 1981 have to have some focus there on trying 1982 to maintain that connection between the 1983 wrists and the club shaft, right?
You 1984 need to feel that.
1985 But most of the time, You should just 1986 feel like you're sitting in the club and 1987 not trying to get max range of motion up 1988 there and just letting your hands and 1989 arms work down in front of you.
So you 1990 should just kind of like that, right?
I'm 1991 not trying to feel my wrist.
It's just 1992 they're supple when they come down to the 1993 spot.
They really are.
Okay, I'm not 1994 like, if you're squeezing it, you're 1995 making it harder for yourself.
1996 You talk about after we get movements 1997 correct, then we should work on speed.
1998 How do we do that?
1999 Awesome question.
Great question.
You 2000 guys are awesome with questions.
2001 Speed is something that will come to you 2002 after you start moving through these 2003 positions faster, right?
So if you look 2004 just in this small format, 2005 okay, I can make it go faster by moving 2006 faster, 2007 right?
Same thing with moving into nine 2008 to three, then adding more width and 2009 rotation to it.
2010 When you start doing these things slow, 2011 do them at moderate speed, right?
Or slow 2012 to moderate and then into where you would 2013 feel like your golf course speed is.
2014 Everybody's going to have a little bit 2015 different tempo, though.
I actually am 2016 very, 2017 believe it or not, I'm very fast-tempoed, 2018 huh?
2019 A lot of you at home probably didn't know 2020 that, huh?
2021 So you're going to get your speed from, 2022 and this is something I want you to do 2023 more at a subconscious level, is start 2024 moving through those positions faster, 2025 right?
You start practicing, you become 2026 really proficient with it.
You can move 2027 into and through positions like you can 2028 sit there and talk about you had pancakes 2029 for breakfast or you had avocado toast.
2030 something of that nature, and it's all a 2031 piece of cake.
2032 Okay?
2033 So I feel that it helps me reduce my 2034 early extension back swing weight on 2035 right, back, downswing.
2036 So Mike R, that sounds to be kind of what 2037 I'm thinking about here.
So in back 2038 swing, weight on right, butt goes back.
2039 Through downswing, I try to keep the 2040 right butt back and bring the left butt 2041 back.
Is that a feel accurate?
Sure.
2042 That's actually a video that I did a long 2043 time ago.
It was called the Tush Line 2044 Chair Drill.
where I had you keep your 2045 right butt back on the chair as you're 2046 trying to keep and move this left butt 2047 back.
Okay, perfectly fine.
2048 So any thoughts on starting foot forward 2049 pressure to 9 a.
m.
, then back and through 2050 pressure foot to improve flow?
2051 So that would be the whole, you could do 2052 that.
So if you're talking about, so 2053 pressure to 9, and then back through 2054 pressure foot to improve flow.
Fine.
So 2055 yeah, you can do that.
So the hybrid 2056 movement that I taught you doesn't mean 2057 you have to go right to six o'clock.
If 2058 you need to feel like some flow to help 2059 get things moving, totally fine.
Just 2060 remember what you're trying to achieve is 2061 you're trying to achieve stability in 2062 this side, but you're trying to achieve 2063 load as well.
2064 The ultimate goal is to not have your 2065 hips continue to slide, right?
You want 2066 to get loaded and stay stable.
So you can 2067 play around with that for sure.
You want 2068 to get 90% of your weight underneath your 2069 right heel, right ankle at the top of the 2070 swing.
2071 That's your goal with a little bit of 2072 stability in your right knee so that your 2073 hips are not over rotating.
2074 Okay.
For lead dominant, should we try to 2075 incorporate any of the clockwise motions 2076 at the top of the back?
So I'm confused 2077 on this point.
So no, if you're a lead 2078 side dominant, you don't need to do the 2079 clockwise movement of the trail arm.
2080 Okay.
If you're going to be a lead side 2081 dominant releaser, what you're going to 2082 do is you're going to be making sure that 2083 you turn your body, 2084 allow your left arm to move above your 2085 right shoulder.
And then from there, 2086 You're just sequencing your downswing by 2087 focusing on the legwork, right?
So don't 2088 try to get confused on that.
I'm sorry if 2089 I did a terrible job of demonstrating.
2090 I only want the people that are going to 2091 stay doing full trail side releasing that 2092 have a hard time getting the club not to 2093 go over the top, wanting them to do the 2094 circles with their arms.
2095 Okay, my apologies for not being clear on 2096 that.
But good question.
2097 When you release the club, you throw the 2098 club with your wrists and allowing the 2099 wrist to turn over.
2100 That's another good question.
So I'm not 2101 trying to actively do things from my 2102 wrist, okay?
Lead side dominant release, 2103 this is a double unhinged release.
So my 2104 arm becomes independent from my body.
So 2105 it's unhinging itself from its shoulder.
2106 And at that same time, as my arm is 2107 unhinging itself, well, the wrist is 2108 uncocking.
2109 So I'm not trying to make that movement 2110 happen.
That's happening as a result.
2111 Now, you can, when you get advanced, 2112 use your right hand and your right arm as 2113 a way to add thrust, right?
Where you can 2114 actually throw the club head at the ball.
2115 There's a video on the website called the 2116 throw the ball drill.
2117 That was one of the more, that was a big, 2118 big bane in our existence because a lot 2119 of times people showed up at the door and 2120 they were trying to do too much from the 2121 right arm, way, way too much to begin 2122 with.
And they started working on that 2123 drill and it just became worse.
2124 But there is some merit to being able to 2125 train the right hand and right arm, what 2126 it should be doing in the swing.
So yeah, 2127 you can add a little bit of thrust to it, 2128 but remember, you're not going to get 2129 huge bursts of clubhead speed, right?
2130 Maybe you'll pick up a couple miles an 2131 hour, but is that couple of miles an hour 2132 sacrificing the most important part of 2133 the swing?
And that's what you're doing 2134 with your lead wrist and your lead arm 2135 through there, right?
If your lead wrist 2136 is getting overwhelmed, then don't try to 2137 make active movement for now.
Get 2138 control, right?
I like to balance this 2139 stuff.
I don't like to go out there and 2140 try to produce tons and tons of speed 2141 first, which I know is boring, but you 2142 can find speed within control.
You have 2143 something controlled that you can start 2144 doing it faster.
And it's easier for you 2145 to be able to get this really difficult 2146 game a little bit more under control.
2147 This is a difficult game as it is.
And 2148 so, yes, it does require a balance 2149 between those two things.
And so if 2150 somebody comes in, they're just coming in 2151 for speed drills, then I'm not going to 2152 go and try to give them all of the speed 2153 that I think their potential of.
2154 I'm going to give them a balance of it 2155 because I got to find that threshold with 2156 how much is too much where they start 2157 losing.
the ball off the golf course, 2158 right?
So that's a way to think about it.
2159 So lateral distance, 2160 rotational lateral distance, the pelvis 2161 will shift for six to eight inches.
Okay.
2162 Steve, I can't thank you guys enough.
2163 Steve, thank you so much.
2164 I really do appreciate those kind words.
2165 I hope this can be understood.
When I am 2166 hanging, 2167 my left is the top of your thumb pointing 2168 down to the floor, top of my thumb facing 2169 the sky.
2170 My grip always had the thumb facing up.
2171 When I'm hanging on my left arm is.
So 2172 your left thumb is going to be sitting in 2173 behind the shaft, right?
So it's up there 2174 to help support the club.
2175 If you're talking about this position up 2176 here, it's okay for that left thumb to be 2177 there.
2178 It's just offering some support.
You take 2179 it off, it's going to get a little bit 2180 droopy there, right?
2181 But your job is just not to push back 2182 against it.
I'm not sure I understand the 2183 latter part of it.
2184 Greg, maybe you understand that question 2185 better than I do.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, 2186 Alan.
I'm not trying to evade the 2187 question there by any means.
Oh, and I 2188 owe you.
2189 Impact position, show me, please.
Okay, 2190 so impact position is going to be.
2191 right here.
You want me to move closer?
2192 So does that help you?
2193 All right, so you can see that my lead 2194 wrist, my lead thumb is still kind of on 2195 top of the shaft here.
What I try to do 2196 to reduce any push on the shaft is I use 2197 a short thumb.
So I kind of pinch the 2198 thumb and the pointer finger together, 2199 okay?
I don't like a lot of pressure 2200 there because that does get a little bit 2201 of stress in the forearm.
2202 Yeah, so yeah, that's where it is.
It's 2203 pointing down to the floor, right?
2204 I think I'm understanding now.
This is 2205 fine, 2206 okay?
Don't think about your thumb.
2207 Think about your wrist, okay?
If you're 2208 thinking about your thumb and your golf 2209 swing, you're doing it wrong.
Think about 2210 your wrist.
This is what's controlling 2211 the face, okay?
Big kick in the butt for 2212 that one.
2213 Jeremy?
2214 2215 Do you clear your mind and grip and rip 2216 2217 Okay.
2218 So this is an awesome question.
2219 And it's two-sided.
2220 So if you're in the middle of swing 2221 change, you're on the golf course, take 2222 one thought out there with you and just 2223 stay committed to it.
When you get to a 2224 point where you understand really you're 2225 not going to be able to change, the girl 2226 that you brought to the dance is the one 2227 that you're stuck with, or the boy that 2228 you brought to the dance is the one that 2229 you're stuck with, either way, okay?
2230 You can think that you're actively 2231 manipulating things out there, but you're 2232 not.
2233 So swing thoughts just kind of help clear 2234 the subconscious just a little bit and 2235 give you something to commit to.
Just 2236 don't change that during the round.
I 2237 can't tell you how many times I've had 2238 people, I can give you story after story 2239 where people come in, they're like, what 2240 are you working on?
They're like, well, 2241 whatever the latest video Chuck put out 2242 is.
And I'm like, that's not what I told 2243 you to work on.
2244 And he's like, well, I got quite a few 2245 swing thoughts going on here.
And I'm 2246 like, okay, well, show me what you're 2247 working with.
And so he does it, he walks 2248 me through all of his swing thoughts and 2249 I put the video up and I say, okay, now I 2250 want you to think about what you had for 2251 breakfast and that's it.
And then we'd 2252 look at the videos and there's no 2253 difference.
And he's like, well, wow, 2254 that's not how I swing the club normally.
2255 I'm like, that's how you swing the club 2256 normally.
It's the same thing.
So when 2257 you're on the golf course, you've got all 2258 this distraction, you're not gonna be 2259 able to change things.
But if you're 2260 working on something specific, let's just 2261 say it's a pressure shift or maybe you're 2262 focusing on your left arm and left wrist, 2263 then just stay committed to that.
And so 2264 what I do, this is, 2265 This is my practice program.
2266 When I go through my pre-shot, I make a 2267 couple practice swings from behind the 2268 golf ball.
2269 I've done the same thing for many years, 2270 for 25 of my 33 years on the golf course.
2271 Then when I start walking in the shot, if 2272 I've already picked my number, I'm 2273 usually using really small numbers, like 2274 trying to get the yardage, figure out the 2275 wind, 2276 trying to figure out the shot.
I'm moving 2277 into the shot.
As soon as I get into a 2278 certain spot, I don't try to think 2279 mechanically.
2280 So I try to keep the brain clear.
I'll 2281 use one swing thought in there, and 2282 that's it, like, or one trigger point.
2283 Okay?
2284 But thank you for the kind words.
You've 2285 been great this camp, Jeremy.
Thank you 2286 so much.
2287 All right.
2288 So please show the ideal hand and club 2289 position at the top of the swing again.
2290 You betcha.
2291 So there.
2292 Right arm in line with the torso.
2293 Okay?
Not behind.
2294 Okay?
Right up with the base of the 2295 chest.
2296 left wrist flat, 2297 hands above the right shoulder, 2298 boom.
2299 Kim, thank you so much for the kind 2300 words.
Thank you very much.
2301 Can you please show me the grip at 2302 address from the front view, please?
2303 Absolutely.
2304 Can you see me here?
So this V right here 2305 is towards my right ear, 2306 okay?
I can see two knuckles.
From my 2307 perspective, without going to look for 2308 it, my right hand comes on the club.
This 2309 V is now up towards my right ear.
See it, 2310 that's a neutral grip.
Can you show your 2311 full swing really slow?
Sure, so my full 2312 swing really slow.
You want me to talk 2313 slow anyway?
Like, all right, just 2314 kidding.
Golf posture, 2315 Yeah, I'll do it again for you.
2316 That's it.
2317 Can I get a little applause from the 2318 audience, please?
2319 I'm just kidding.
2320 I'm kidding.
2321 Oh, Craig, I hate you.
2322 So face on.
He knows that I'm really 2323 restricted on body turn.
2324 There you go, playboy.
2325 Yeah, all right.
2326 So, looks like questions are winding 2327 down.
2328 Julius, thank you.
2329 Oh, I don't even know how to take a bow.
2330 There's a lot of stuff going on right 2331 now, so thank you.
2332 All right.
2333 All right, you guys have been like the 2334 best group.
Like I've gone back through 2335 every one of the camps and just read the 2336 questions.
2337 And the questions are just awesome.
You 2338 guys are true students of the game.
And 2339 that's, I love that.
We went down, we've 2340 seen some people that just come in that 2341 you can tell that they're just like, they 2342 want quick fix stuff.
You guys can tell 2343 just by the bit, like the questions that 2344 you guys ask that you guys want to know 2345 so that you can get out there and start 2346 trying to work this stuff.
2347 I don't like the quick fix kind of stuff.
2348 I like you guys having an understanding 2349 how to work this stuff into your system.
2350 And get out there and actually see the 2351 proof in the pudding and understand that 2352 there's a process in place that has to be 2353 in place, right?
So, last question, All 2354 right, thank you David for the kind 2355 words.
How will we know what additional 2356 sessions you will be offering?
So we're 2357 going to be doing a lot of the RSA mini 2358 webs that are going to be like 30 minutes 2359 long, where they're going to be on 2360 specific topics.
I think I have one 2361 that's coming up on op driver 2362 optimization and then I'm going to also 2363 chuck.
I was real sick.
I got COVID and I 2364 had to sit on the sidelines for the trust 2365 line video, which he did a completely 2366 different rendition of that.
I really, 2367 that's one of my favorite topics to talk 2368 on.
So that's going to be coming up.
I 2369 know Craig's got another one coming up 2370 here pretty quickly.
2371 If you guys have suggestions about stuff 2372 that you would like us to talk about, 2373 We're open to that all day long.
Because 2374 we can only come up with so many ideas on 2375 our side that we think are interesting.
2376 Or we think that you guys might find 2377 interesting.
But it's better to have you 2378 guys make suggestions.
2379 And so other sessions will be coming up 2380 soon.
I think Craig just posted a link.
2381 It's been great.
2382 Doug, thank you so much for the words.
2383 Exactly.
So this information is all out 2384 there.
It's us finding a different way to 2385 structure it and give you guys a way to 2386 be able to practice it and work through 2387 2388 So remember.
2389 The final thing before I get ready to 2390 sign up here because I think questions 2391 are done.
2392 And I'm telling you this because I care 2393 about you guys to get better with this 2394 stuff.
Don't feel like you need to go 2395 through this stuff alone.
2396 The swing review system's in place.
2397 The community forums are in place.
2398 Utilize us.
Craig, that's our job, right?
2399 We'd love to help you guys.
Swing 2400 reviews, it's been a part of my life for 2401 10, almost 11 years.
I've done 75,000 2402 swing reviews.
2403 Okay, Craig has done a very large number 2404 of swing reviews as well.
And so there's, 2405 I want you guys to get the help that you 2406 need.
If you feel like you've got the 2407 tools and the resources to go build it, 2408 then build it.
Just keep us up to speed 2409 on how you're doing.
We like to hear that 2410 stuff.
Good, bad, or indifferent, 2411 right?
2412 All right, so guys have had an absolutely 2413 phenomenal camp.
Thank you guys so much 2414 for everything.
2415 If you don't have any further questions, 2416 I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of 2417 your weekend.
Thank you so much for 2418 joining us for these last four sessions.
2419 Thank you so much for dealing with my 2420 fast demeanor.
Hopefully you guys got a 2421 lot of enjoyment out of the way that we 2422 presented the information.
Thank you to 2423 Craig for the absolute fantastic help.
2424 And thank you guys for the awesome 2425 questions.
I am going to stop saying the 2426 same thing over and I'm gonna let you 2427 guys go out there and enjoy the rest of 2428 your weekend.
Talk to you guys soon.
