AXIOM BootCamp 3, Chris Tyler, Dec 2021, Session 4

Session 4 of 4

---

All right, welcome back.

Happy Saturday.

We have a jam-packed hour for you guys playing today.

So hopefully everybody's had a wonderful week so far.

And I have to believe that everybody is doing very well with their movements because nobody took the time to email me.

That said, they needed additional help on Thursday.

So congratulations to you guys.

Hopefully you guys are having a wonderful start.

Hopefully everybody can hear me okay.

We are going to be very busy today.

I've been going through some format changes in my brain about how I'm going to be able to go through all of the pieces of the puzzle that we've developed so far, talk to you really quickly about some of the faults that we've seen, and then really start finishing this golf swing off.

But I also want to make sure that we have a point today where we understand exactly how to move through this process.

And that's what session number three was really about was not teaching you guys new movement, but teaching you guys how to practice properly.

So hopefully you guys enjoyed that because I know a lot of times you'll hear us as instructors say, hey, you know what, you already know these movements.

Now's the time you've got to put the reps in.

And if you're not putting the reps in the correct way, then there's not going to be an end in sight anytime soon.

So you've got to practice this stuff properly.

And so when we get all done today, we will definitely open up for Q I'll stick around with you guys for a good bit here.

We do have, I am, for some of you that are going to be joining us at the 2 o'clock time frame for the putting webinar that I'm doing, RSA Live is.

Really, really awesome.

It's a it's a chance for us to be able to put on some condensed formats where we get to talk about other areas of the game.

Like today, I'm going to be talking about putting specifically, I know Craig's got a lineup of webinars that are upcoming.

I know Chuck is also going to be putting some stuff on the docket as well, so and this is going to be all the way in through next year.

So if you guys haven't checked out the RSA Live stuff, I'd encourage you to do so.

Because we have some really cool topics that we're going to be speaking on.

So hopefully everybody's had an awesome week so far, I see people getting settled.

Hopefully everybody hear me all right?

Sound all right?

Mike checking in.

Robert checking in.

Celia, welcome everyone.

Welcome, welcome.

All right.

Sounds like you guys can hear Hans from the Netherlands, welcome.

You guys are proud of your Max Verstappen, huh?

Craig S.

here.

Welcome, Craig.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

So I'll give everybody a couple more minutes to get settled, and then we are going to get underway.

Billy G, welcome.

So if there's a Phil S.

here in the chat, I have to start off by apologizing to you on session number one or two.

One of our lead programmers' name is Phil S.

, and so I thought he was messing with me in the chat when he asked that question, and I learned that there was another Phil S.

present, so my apologies to you.

If you still need additional help on trying to get swing reviews loaded, let me know.

Jacksonville, Wyoming, one of my favorite places to ski.

Awesome place.

Another person checking in from the Netherlands.

All right, so one or two more minutes, and then we are going to get underway.

Richard checking in from Florida.

Welcome, sir.

I don't know if any of you guys caught the father-son, the PNC Championship with Tiger and his son being back, but I got to watch some of the videos from yesterday.

We actually, we used to be stationed out of the Ritz Carlton here in Orlando.

And so that was always a really fun event to be around or be at for the entire week leading up to it because it's all of the game's great, right?

So you get to rub elbows with, you know, you see Jack Nicklaus, you see Tiger, you see.

Justin Thomas.

You see all of these legends that I saw.

Lee Trevino would always come back and talk to my students.

And so I definitely missed that week.

But I don't know if any of you got to see Charlie Wood's golf swing.

But pretty scary player.

Another absolute legend that you get to see out there.

But if you got the chance to see Charlie Wood's golf swing, I know there's a lot of highlights on him last year, but it's even gotten better this year.

I think we're going to see some good things from him as he gets older.

He's just got it in his DNA, right?

All right, are you guys ready to rock and roll?

Let's do it.

So here's our objective today.

I'm going to run you through everything we've already talked about.

Okay, I'm going to run you through the setup.

I'm going to run you through the key points of setup.

I'm going to run you through a loading process of your backswing, I'm going to run you through transition into impact.

Then I'm going to teach you that clockwise movement and how to blend those two together, or, I'm sorry, blend the downstream movements together.

And then we're going to talk about the important pieces of the release now when we get to the important pieces of the release and we start kind of moving through those positions.

I'm not going to spend as much time in that condensed format because I do know that.

Some of you are here to to get the full backswing stuff, and some of you do want me to talk a little bit more about a trail side, sort of dominant swing, where you know it's going to help you shallow the swing out.

It's going to help you with, you know, maybe some issues that you might have had with lag in the past, or, um, you know, just getting into a good delivery point down to the bottom.

So we're going to supercharge our way into the full swing stuff after I go through all the nuts and bolts, stuff that we've already talked about and then what we will do is is after that is.

I'm going to lay out a good way for you guys to practice this at home, which hopefully you guys get the gist of.

When we had Tuesday's session and then finally, when we wrap up.

At the end of that, we will stick around and answer some questions.

We'll talk about some of the ongoing support that we will give you as you go through this process.

So on Tuesday, you talked about practicing small clockwise movements with the hands.

Was that intended for the trailside swingers?

Yes.

So I'm going to revisit that here in just a little bit because I know I went through that pretty quickly.

I did have a couple people that sent me some private messages this week that did talk about wanting to go towards the trailside.

And much different than the previous camp, we didn't have anybody that wanted to go trailside.

We had everybody that wanted to stay lead side, so I didn't speak on it as much.

So for those of you that are going to stay on trying to be a really trail side dominant player, I'm going to go a little bit more in depth with it today.

Now, unfortunately, for me to make big clockwise circles with my right arm and a golf club in my hands, there is a giant fan that's above my head right now that you guys can't see.

I will do my best to be able to do the full movement there, but I am not interested in taking this fan out.

So I had somebody, just so you guys know, on one of my first.

webinar lessons that I did with a student after we released Axiom, I had this guy in his garage doing his first swing and he took out his entire garage door opener, came right out of the ceiling.

So it was kind of funny to see.

So, all right, so now that we're gonna get underway, if you guys can do me a huge favor, okay, just because this is extremely helpful to myself and you students, is let's keep the chat really quiet for me because if we start getting a lot of distraction from it, that it can take away from the presentation.

And I've got this stuff.

I got a lot of stuff going through my brain today.

And I was actually talking with Craig last night about the way that I wanted to deliver the format today.

And we both were in agreement that we're going to go and just really streamline this stuff together and get you guys to talk about.

Or let me talk about a lot of the nuts and bolts of things that people might struggle with right from the setup position.

Okay, so we're going to get right into that, walk you through how to get into a good setup position.

go through the pieces of the puzzle with load, transition, and post-up.

Then we'll talk about the movement, the secret sauce that everybody's been talking about, and then we're going to get into finishing off this golf swing after we start going through some compression drills.

So I'm excited to be able to bring this to you guys today.

So some of you are going to get an overdose of me today because I did see a fair amount of you.

Signed up for the two which it's one of my favorite topics because I think we often overlook.

How important short game is?

Right?

Short game is 75 of your score most of the time.

I know I get it.

If we don't become good ball strikers, that we put more stress on our short games.

So we want to be able to build a good, solid golf swing from beginning to end, I'm on board with that.

This is how we hit the golf ball far, it's how we get a fishing ring.

Okay, so for those of you at home that missed anything on setup, the key points with setup is just making sure at address that you're two inches outside of neutral.

Join one.

Okay, you've got to get wide enough here to where you're going to be stable, you've got to get wide enough to where you can actually shift your weight without your head moving all over the place.

Now, if you get too wide, this is going to start allowing your center to move all over the place when you are shifting in the swing.

So two inches outside of neutral, so the way to find neutral?

Just stand there with a line down from the center of your hip socket, down through your knees, into your ankles, and just take a little tiny step out just two inches outside.

Okay, You can be too narrow.

I have seen a few swing review submissions where you were a little bit on the narrow side, okay?

So don't be afraid to get a little bit wider here, okay?

You need stability, and you need to be able to shift your weight in the swing.

If you get too narrow, you're going to create a lot of rotational force, and you typically start substituting weight shift out of there, and then all hell breaks loose.

You just start overusing your upper body, and then we're back to square one, okay?

So two inches outside of neutral, and remember, the big key here, Is that when you start to get yourself hinging?

To get over?

The golf ball is keep your chin up.

Don't look down to try to find it.

Keep your chin up and hinge from your hips until you can see the golf ball.

Your weights back towards your heels.

Now you soften your knees, your hands and arms will now hang down freely.

Do not pick your hands up.

Okay, keep your shoulders back in a neutral position and just let your arms hang there freely.

Now.

You guys have been absolute freaking rock stars and I can tell you this right now.

Every single presentation we do moving forward, I'm going to talk about axis tilt the way that I did on Monday because I don't think I had one single person that sent in with too much tilt, which is great because we talked about how important it is not to get into a position where you're leaning on your right side.

This makes it very hard for you to move.

It tends to turn the shoulders really flat, and it makes it almost impossible for you to get into this really good, solid backstroke position that you're going to see at the end of today.

So my hat's off to you.

So it's two inches outside of neutral.

Hinge until you can see the golf ball.

Soften the knees.

Hands and arms hanging down freely, okay?

If you are too upright with your spine, you can nudge your hip to the target just a little bit.

And when I say nudge, you can barely see it.

It's just a small movement, okay?

What you want to notice is that your spine should be just inside your lead knee here, okay?

That's it.

Now, you should feel about 50 -50.

Okay, if you feel five or ten percent one way or the other, totally fine, okay.

So again, two inches outside of neutral hinge to get over the golf ball, you're going to make sure that your arms are hanging down freely.

You're going to be 50 50 at address.

And the final piece I want you to write this down is that you only want enough.

Knee flex to soften the knees and have the back of the knee over the center of the ankle.

Okay, don't sit too far down your knees like this and counterbalance it by sitting back in your heels.

I saw a lot of that last camp and I saw a few people doing that in this camp.

Too much knee flex and sitting back in your heels at a dress is going to lock you up.

It's not going to allow you to move.

Okay, it's going to make it very hard for you to turn your hips.

we need the hips to turn in this golf swing.

Okay, so those are your key points, so the good news is is that you can go back and listen to today's session.

If you missed any of these key points or you haven't written these things down.

You can kind of understand why I'm I'm harping on these points because that's what we see from you guys.

If we went through all of the small little nuts and bolts of setup, like all the way down through the grip, we would never get through a session, right?

So that's why it's really important that you listen to those key points that you hear us talk about in this session.

Because that's what's geared towards you guys specifically.

Okay, now backspin position.

What we're going to do is we're going to work off of a pressure shift at first.

We're not going to use the merry-go-round feeling yet.

We're going to work on a pressure shift by just taking our trail ankle, and we're going to push down into the ground.

But when you do that, allow for that belt loop on the right side of your pants or your shorts to move towards your right ankle.

So it's not going to move just laterally, and it's not going to move straight back.

It's going to move kind of diagonally, okay?

That little pressure shift right there, it's about an inch of diagonal movement.

You're going to feel about 70% of your weight now underneath your right ankle.

Now from there, after you make that pressure shift, if you pull the right shoulder back behind your head, you should feel upwards of 85% to 90% of your total body mass underneath your right side.

You should feel like your butt's starting to light up.

You should feel your midsection.

If you don't feel either one of those, Then there's probably a pretty good chance that you're either already ingrained with proper movement, or you're making the fatal mistake.

That we see day in and day out.

What is that?

That is this move right here?

Watch, what are you wrong?

If you see this big window here between my legs, okay, see that window there.

That, with your right leg being straight, is a good indicator that you have really, really destabilized your pelvis, right?

So you've created a very unstable rotation from your hips.

Your pelvis is going to have a lot of tilt to it, your hips are going to over rotate.

And you're not necessarily creating enough separation between your hip line and your shoulder line, so we're looking for some separation now.

Some of you at home are not going to be dancers like me.

You're going to be pretty tight your hips and get it okay.

So you can allow for a little knee flex or a little loss of defense.

You don't need to to lock yourself up to where you can't move.

Remember, we're here to move, we want to have some freedom to move.

If you get really stiff down here, then you're not going to be able to move through the golf swing with this part of your body.

And this is where we're driving things from.

Okay?

So what you want to focus on is after you make that pressure shift.

So watch my right butt and my right hip.

If you look at my hips, you can actually see my lead thigh is now kind of poking out here a little bit.

See?

So that's what your pressure shift is going to look like.

So it's just a little increase by pushing down your right ankle.

Okay, you're taking that right hip and moving it back diagonally towards your right ankle, and then from there you try to keep your right leg flexed.

And you just turn.

Okay, hold that right shoulder back behind your head, so pressure shift there you are, so back swing positions.

The things that you need to focus on is a little pressure shift and pulling this right shoulder.

Let me show you from face on here, as far behind your head as you possibly can.

So you're going to try to get it to where it's popped out on the other side.

Okay?

Now, if you can get your shoulders to 90 degrees and you can get a little bit of separation between your hip line and your shoulder line, you're cooking.

Now, remember, when the backswing is complete, you should feel your weight towards the trail side of your foot.

You should feel it back underneath your ankle joint, back towards the heel, not towards the extreme heel where your foot's coming up off the ground like that.

Okay?

So those are your checkpoints.

Checkpoints for transition.

Squat to square, right?

We've all heard that before.

The way the squat to square is going to work is the objective is to get that 85 to 90% of our weight from our right side over to our lead side, right?

So we're going to take that weight and we're going to transfer.

How are we going to do this?

Well, we're going to think about squatting down ever so slightly, okay?

And we're going to allow our hips and knees to come back to a square position.

Now, if you.

Look at the upper body here.

What you want to make sure is that the upper body stays very, very closed.

But remember, this is the key piece that so often we see people miss.

This is one.

I want you to write in big, bold letters all over your PDF.

I want you to write it on your forehead or on the brim of your cap, wherever is that.

I want my head to come back into position, fully, into position where it wasn't addressed, or slightly in front.

Totally fine.

I'm not teaching you.

Craig is not teaching you.

Chuck's not teaching you a slide.

We're teaching you how to shift your weight, okay?

So it's always best to try to err on the side of getting too far over there.

It's much easier for us as golf instructors and you as students to get this tone back.

If you go a little bit too far, it's much easier for us to tone that back than it is for us to fix you chipping away under your upper half, okay?

I promise you.

So the way that you're going to quantify your success with your transition is you're going to feel right.

Around 70%% of your weight now underneath your lead ankle.

Your hips and knees are going to be back to square.

Your head is going to be fully back or slightly in front of where it was at address.

And your shoulders are going to be closed.

So the way I teach this to people is if you think about when you complete the transition, you want your right shoulder up, your left shoulder down.

You want your head fully back into the spot, and you want your hips and knees as close to square as you possibly can.

Now, what that looks like from a down-the-line perspective is you can see that I'm not fully back to square, but I'm pretty close, okay?

So 80% of your weight to your left ankle.

Hips and knees back to square.

Head position back in the spot.

Don't forget that piece, okay?

And shoulders close.

Right shoulder up, left shoulder down.

Write that down.

As I said to you guys on session number one, the transition is what we consider one of the hardest moves in the bell swing.

Why?

Well, because there's a lot of things that are going on here, right?

There's a lot of different ways for us to teach the transition, right?

I'm sure some of you have seen the video that I put out years ago called, I think it was like fixing your weight transfer, where I talk about using your inductors to help pull.

You can do that.

We've talked about squat to square.

We've talked about sitting into the left side.

All of those methods.

are getting you to the same end result.

Now, in just a few minutes, I'm going to show you how to move through that position without really having to think about it.

And some of you, with what I saw, and I'm sure Craig will vouch for this as well, got some really freaking good success with that sort of secret sauce and that counterbalance movement.

But let's finish this off, right?

So what do we do after we transition?

Well, this is where the post-up happens.

Now, a post -up, again, is just your left leg or your lead leg.

I'm sorry, I'm talking about the right-handed.

player all day, is your lead leg moving to a passively straight position and your lead hip rotating open to about 45 degrees or so.

35 to 45 degrees is fine, okay?

But when you do this, you need to make sure that your lead hip is in neutral joint alignment.

Neutral joint alignment, right?

So left hip socket, left knee, left ankle.

Your lead foot should be flat to the ground, okay?

It shouldn't be rolled out.

It should be flat to the floor, okay?

So understanding where you're trying to go, like I talked about in the last session, is a great way for you to be able to get there, right.

That's why so many people get success.

If you go to a static address position, you shift your hips left and you open them up and you hold that static for a second.

Okay, hold there and feel what it's like to be in this good, solid left leg position.

Okay, feel it for a second and say, Okay.

Now.

What I want to do is I want to turn my body to my right side, squat to square, And all I want to do is drive my ankle through the floor, and I want to rotate this hip back up and away from where the ball is.

Now, I do realize, based off of some of the questions that I've gotten during this camp, that it can be kind of confusing because the left hip is moving back up and away, and Chris keeps telling me that my left butt needs to move down and back.

The down and back part is helping you in the transitional phase.

As you're moving through that transitional phase, if you keep rotating the hip, it's going to move up and away.

That's why I've been explaining it to you guys like that.

This right side is helping facilitate that movement.

It all comes to that stopping point, right?

So I know it can be counterintuitive, but if you've taken the time to try it out and you didn't get success with it, then that's where I want to talk to you because I want to look at it to see if there's a different way that I can describe it to you specifically.

So there you have it.

You have the three key movements of your golf swing to get you into an impact position.

Now, what does impact look like?

Well, For a lead side dominant release, what impact is going to look like is the hips are going to be open 35 to 45.

The shoulders are going to be very square.

The head is going to be back in behind the golf ball.

We're going to have a little bit of secondary.

And my lead wrist is where?

It's over in the middle of my left thigh.

This position right here is what we're going to talk about next.

Now, with a trail side dominant release, your impact position is going to look a little bit more open with your shoulders.

Chuck calls it in the tape drill, kind of like a three-stage rocket booster, where you start really moving from your hips, your shoulders turn a little hard, and then you fire your arm down the line.

So your impact position is going to look a little bit more open with your shoulders.

Okay, just a fraction.

You're not opening up like 35 degrees when you're doing this.

But as you're doing that, you're going to be working to really push the club down the target line, trying your best to hold the club face square, even though that's not what's going to be happening.

Okay?

So if you get into a really good impact position and then you can move your weight to that spot, then this game becomes a lot more easy for us to manage.

Now, that doesn't mean we're going to live in a world of rainbows, flowers, and cupcakes.

Let's be honest with you.

Because there's a lot of you guys at home that have really improperly trained your hands and your arms, right?

That's why when you go out there, it's really frustrating because you're like, Chris, I've looked at my legwork.

I'm like, I really got in a good spot.

That doesn't mean that you can't start creating chaos with your upper body, right?

It doesn't mean that you can't get down to hitting your hand and start flipping your hands at it because you're trying to get these things lined up.

The less that we do with our hands, the better success you're going to get with this game.

When you think about trying to get these two little things lined up, this club head and that ball on the ground, it's a tricky sport, okay?

So what you want to remember is that the next piece that I'm going to talk about, the release, is.

going to be done in a way where you isolate it because you have to be perfect on this piece.

This is the delivery.

So now there's two really key points.

And I probably, in hindsight, on Tuesday should have explained it this way.

The delivery point, so when we get ready to come down into impact, okay, we want to have the club in line with the hands, okay?

We want to have the club shaft parallel to the ground.

I'm going to keep turning back and forth.

We want to have the toe of the club.

virtually up to the sky.

If it's towed down ever so slightly, that's totally fine.

This point right here is extremely important to the way that you release the golf club.

Why?

Well, because if you have your hands out away from you, and you've got the club outside your hands coming down, you're going to have a bad, a really, really difficult time being able to square the place.

Vice versa.

If you have your hands out away from you, the club waiting behind you, same thing.

You're going to come way too far from the inside, and it's going to make it much harder for you to be able to manage.

that rotation of the hook base.

So your delivery point plays a very important role with the most important part.

What is that?

Impact, right?

You guys should all be able to answer that.

Impact is the most important part about this.

So that's why, if you listen to the stuff I was saying on session number one, is we revamped the camp the way that we did it.

Because you need to be able to get your left wrist into this position.

If you can get it into this position right here, where it's flat, And point for a slightly bow and point it down the target on.

Not like this, not like this.

Okay, then you can play golf, I promise, okay.

So if you can get into this good delivery point and you can get to this spot, then all of this.

Other stuff that we're doing is adding speed to your golf swing, that's what it's doing.

So we always want to train the release in a condensed environment.

Now, what are the kind of nuts and bolts of the release?

Well, We're going to show you from face on here first.

I'm going to show you the key points.

It's going to be glove logo.

Let me put a glove on.

I know I sound very redundant today, but there's a reason for this.

Glove logo is going to be flat and pointed directly out in front of you.

Your wrist is anatomically flat at this point.

Down to impact, it's going to rotate to where it's pointed directly down the target line.

My Globe logo is pointing down the target line here.

Okay, you can see that my wrist is slightly bowed.

If you look at the club face, it's really square.

I've got a lot of forward chaffling.

Okay, so it's out in front of us, pointed down the target line, and it is flat and pointed directly behind us.

Now look how far my hand and my arm are past my body, my arm is not way up here.

Why?

Because if you're pulling your arm up into that position, okay, and you're trying to get all of this stuff lined up with each other, You're literally missing the point.

The release is from here to here to here.

That's it.

And I know a lot of you at home are like, well, why do I see all these bigger swings happening?

The key point of any good golf swing is where you move from.

And a lot of you got, I actually got more comments on this camp than I've ever gotten, where people were like, okay, I don't know if you remember this example, so I'm going to lower it to 9.

5.

If I take my hips and I shift my hips left, And I get my hand side of the way, look at what just happened.

I turn face, almost look at where I just got my hands and arms to.

I didn't try to move my hands and arms from this spot down, I just let them hang out there.

So when you hear that position, the slot position, or when we're supposed to deliver the club, when is all this stuff supposed to happen?

You can remove that from your brain if you're allowing your arms to come down from this position.

That I'm going to teach you guys here in just a little bit.

By driving things through your legs and doing as little as you possibly can with your arms all the way down, other than just supporting the club, then again, golf is going to be much more manageable.

So the key points of a good release is going to be left wrist pointed out in front of you.

This is a lead side dominant release.

Left wrist pointed down the target line.

Left wrist pointed behind this.

Now, the same applies for the trail side dominant release.

The hand position, or I'm sorry, the club and hand position at delivery.

I'm sorry, I saw no pop up there.

The club position is going to be in the same spot.

It's going to be.

Now, when we start delivering the club from one side, the left wrist is still going to turn down the target line.

But if you notice my upper body, what is it doing?

My upper body is turning with my arms.

And simultaneously, what I'm doing is I'm trying to fire the club head down the target line.

So my body lines are going to look much different.

And what that looks like from face on, you're going to see a little bit more of my glove logo.

I'm sorry, not my glove logo.

But you're going to see a little bit more of my glove, right?

Why?

Well, I'm using body turn to rotate the face.

Remember, club face always has to rotate.

I had somebody send me, I'm not going to, we're not here to bash methodology.

Somebody sent me a video with a review this morning and said, what do you think of this?

And some of you may know Aaron Overholzer is a very good player, but he actually said it in the video where if you can hold a club face square to the target line, then you're good all the way through.

And he was talking about also having a broken left arm.

And some of you know this methodology.

And I was like, we're still teaching this.

We're still, even with data and understanding the hitting area, we're still teaching holding the club face square in the target.

Club face cannot stay square.

It's got to rotate.

So you have two options to rotate the face.

You've got wrist and forearm rotation, okay?

Or you've got a little bit of body turn and pushing the club down the target line like the tape drill would emphasize.

Both of them, as I just said to you, are going to have the left wrist in the same spot at the point of contact, okay?

I promise you, you have to have the club shaft leaning forward, and you have to have the club face square.

I don't care how you move it from one side to the other.

If you want to be trail side, then you're going to have to turn a little bit more because that's your source of being able to rotate the face.

At the same time, you're going to be firing your arm and trying to push the thumb head down the target arm, okay?

For those of you that are lead side dominant releases, You're going to just focus on getting your wrists and your forearms to rotate and keep your freaking arms moving.

Don't come down here and do this.

Okay?

Don't do that.

The only way that you can get the club head past your hands is to stop your arms from moving.

Your arms are being moved by your body, right?

As I go back and I turn my hips, if I stop my chest from moving, what did my arm just do?

My arm moved independently.

It unhinged itself.

Unhinged itself from my shoulder.

If you stop your arm, then the only thing you can do is move with your hands.

And how many of you cup and scoop it, how many?

You guys can tell me in the chat like, I do right?

I know it's hard to think about that because you heard us talk about it so much before.

Or you just get into this point, just let things go.

For sure, that's what should be happening.

But you have to let go of your arms as well.

Don't keep tension in your arms and your shoulders.

tension is your worst enemy.

When it comes to the release, Think about what release means.

Greg, thank you very much for being honest.

So think about what it means.

It means to let go.

It does not mean to hang up, right?

It's just how you have to kind of get out of control to get some control, okay?

So the most important part of the release is getting yourself set up with a good delivery point.

A good delivery point is going to look like your hands and your arms are down underneath you, not out away from you.

Not back into your body, they're going to be hanging down underneath you.

You're going to have the club in line with your hands, okay, not back and behind the hands, not out in front of the hands.

Right here is a good spot, club is going to be towed up or slightly towed down.

Okay, see that that sets you up for when you do let your release happen.

When you're letting things go.

To get into the spot where you've heard me just preach it for the last 10 minutes of your life, Right?

So good delivery spot, good impact, good release.

Okay?

When you think about what a good release is, left arm, just keep that thing moving if you're going to be lead side dominant.

Keep your attention levels as light as you possibly can.

Let the club do what it's designed to do.

I'm sure a lot of you have heard of Homer Kelly, right?

He actually had this video back in 1982, which was a year I was born.

And he showed a golf club on the end of a string.

And he started swinging this club around.

And what you would notice is that every time the club reached the bottom of the swinger, the club was perfectly square.

So even back then, people understood that we don't have to do anything to get the club to that spot.

It does it for you.

If you really take that sort of notion, then all you're doing at that point moving forward after you develop a stock shop is now you're making little subtle manipulations to do what?

Well, to flight your golf ball, right?

The position of your lead wrist, Is going to ultimately dictate the the facing right?

It's going to dictate how much forward shaft can you have.

okay, it's going to dictate where the face is pointed.

So if somebody, if somebody asked me how I hit a cup, remember the old school methodology was open the stance up, swing to the left right, swing across your body.

You can actually hit a cup if you just take your normal setup and then hold the left wrist position a little bit longer through the hitting it.

So you're kind of delaying off some rotation, okay, now there's some adjustments that you can make to ball position as well.

But we have uncovered this information because of what?

Because of data tracking devices, TrackMan, FlightScope, JC Quad, the big three, which to be honest with you, all three of them are way overpriced.

But it is what it is, right?

That data is extremely important for us to understand what the club head was doing, right?

It gives us what club data, right?

I used to teach the Jimmy Ballard nine ball play laws.

That's how I first started teaching golf when I was 20, 21 years old.

And if you go back in time and you look at how those were taught and you fast forward to where we are today, the Jimmy Baller nine ball play laws were blown out of the water.

They're a farce.

They're a farce.

And I'm sorry if that just hurt some of y'all's feelings that you guys built your golf swings around what Jimmy Baller was talking about.

But we didn't understand that there was gear effect.

We didn't understand that where the ball was being hit in relation to the face.

We certainly didn't understand deep playing.

Deep playing is not a rabbit hole I want you guys to go down.

So my point of what I'm trying to tell you is that the release is all about your delivery point and getting your lead wrist to that spot.

You want to be a lead side dominant releaser, keep your left arm moving, keep your grip pressure light.

It happens automatically.

You can see it.

I'm just holding the club in my pinky and my ring finger.

And if you hear it, you can actually hear the club pulling itself down here at the bottom of the heart.

You should be able 1000 to sit there all day long and do that.

1001 If you feel like you're getting tired or 1002 fatigued, then guess what?

You're too 1003 tense.

1004 Same thing with the right side down the 1005 release.

You're going to feel a little 1006 bit more effort, but you should be able 1007 to turn your body and extend your arm 1008 down the target line just like I'm doing 1009 here.

1010 Okay?

1011 You do that.

You look at it on the 1012 camera.

You got forward shaft leg.

You 1013 got the face square.

1014 Bring the other hand back to the club.

1015 Put it on the club as quickly as you can.

1016 Because you need to train these two 1017 things to coexist with each other.

They 1018 don't like each other most of the time.

1019 Because one's trying to do one thing.

The 1020 other's trying to do everything it can to 1021 screw it up.

That's why we're here, 1022 right?

That's why we have all of this 1023 talk about lead side versus trail side.

1024 That's why.

1025 Because you can't get these two things to 1026 marry one another.

1027 I get it.

I understand.

I had somebody 1028 send a review this morning.

It was 1029 yesterday.

1030 This guy named Brandon, you're in the 1031 chat tonight, or if you're here today, 1032 congratulations on one of the funniest 1033 comments I've heard in quite a while.

He 1034 goes.

I've learned after I created some 1035 awareness here, that my trail hand, my 1036 right hand, is like a bad ex-girlfriend.

1037 Always just being really annoying and 1038 trying to create chaos when I don't want 1039 her to be around anymore.

And I was like, 1040 that was pretty fun, that was a good way 1041 to kind of describe it.

So just a little 1042 community for you guys, all right, so now 1043 you guys have 1044 Delivery, release.

You've got all of the 1045 core movements to get you to this 1046 delivery and release.

Now, how do we put 1047 it together?

Well, this is where we need 1048 to start using the Axiom movement.

Axiom 1049 was designed to get you guys to stop 1050 being so technically minded about each 1051 and every nut and bolt of the golf swing.

1052 There is a ton of stuff that's important 1053 for sure.

From a golf instruction 1054 standpoint, there's a lot of things that 1055 can be 1056 that can go wrong.

1057 But what we want you to remember is that 1058 there's also this kind of window of 1059 opportunity, right?

You get it into a 1060 decent spot on the top, okay, and you 1061 manage to get yourself into a good 1062 delivery point, then that's it, right?

1063 You can get away with some things, right?

1064 That's why we said to you before, your 1065 takeaway and your backswing don't have to 1066 be 100% perfect, the ideal if it was, But 1067 you can get away with a backswing that 1068 has maybe a little bit of fault in it.

1069 And still get yourself into that delivery 1070 point where you can let things fly.

I see 1071 it all day, every day.

I see a lot of 1072 great players that don't have a 1073 technically sound backswing, but they get 1074 their hands and arms into a good delivery 1075 spot.

They come down in that slot 1076 position, right?

And they can golf their 1077 ball.

So the way that we would work 1078 through those changes, and this is how I 1079 want you guys to all approach your golf 1080 swing moving forward, is you have to pick 1081 and choose your battles.

The most 1082 important thing for you guys, I know 1083 this, and you can sit there and argue 1084 with me all day long, is when you leave 1085 golf instruction, okay, when you get out 1086 there and work on something, and you're 1087 at the point where you're hitting balls, 1088 You want to be able to hit the ball on 1089 the buffets, 1090 right?

If you're out there working on 1091 things, chopping wood, 1092 you're going to find yourself going down 1093 like, why am I even doing this, right?

1094 So you have to be able to hit the golf 1095 ball well.

So you have to remember that 1096 all of these little small things that we 1097 change in the golf swing can ultimately 1098 affect what you're doing down from the 1099 bottom of the swing arm.

So that's why 1100 it's always best to use one of us 1101 instructors in this process to be able to 1102 say, no, this is what you should actually 1103 be focused on.

Because as much as you 1104 guys might know the cause and effect 1105 relationship, this stuff can really send 1106 you down the wrong radical.

It really 1107 can.

If you start working on, you know, 1108 right elbow position or left wrist 1109 position and yada yada.

And it affects 1110 the whole complexity of what you're doing 1111 down through here, then you're going to 1112 find yourself in this constant battle.

So 1113 that's why we trained you guys in this 1114 order.

Get the lower body stuff driving, 1115 because that's what's going to move arms 1116 down in front of you.

Get to the point 1117 where you can deliver the club into a 1118 good, solid impact position and now 1119 you've got to move through it, right?

And 1120 so that's what axiom is, so remember, The 1121 way that you're going to use the axiom is 1122 you're going to start with big clockwise 1123 circles.

1124 These big circles are here to do what?

1125 Ask yourself that question.

Why is Chris 1126 making this big clockwise movement around 1127 his foot?

Well, if you look at my legs 1128 and my hips, what are they doing?

1129 Well, they're moving.

I look like Elvis.

1130 I got big Elvis pelvis right now.

1131 So this movement right here is how you're 1132 going to engine your golf swing.

When you 1133 start moving around the clock, you can 1134 see that my weight shifts to my trail 1135 side.

As it starts going back to 6 o 1136 'clock, okay, up through 7, 8, and 9, I'm 1137 not getting off the merry-go-round.

What 1138 are my hips doing?

1139 Look at how far over my left hip just 1140 went when I went through 7, 8, and 9 o 1141 'clock.

Look at it.

I'm not trying to push 1142 my hip over here.

I'm just literally 1143 moving around the clock.

1144 Okay, so you can see that there's a lot 1145 of freedom in this movement.

1146 Okay, this movement right here, if you do 1147 that correct, and you start working to 1148 get off the merry-go-round, okay, and 1149 we're going to talk a little bit about 1150 this when we get some of the faults that 1151 you can come out of this.

1152 When you work to start getting off the 1153 merry-go-round, if you think about what 1154 your lead side of your body is trying to 1155 get to, right, that impact position, and 1156 you do it by pulling that lead hip, that 1157 lead butt, down and back, as you start 1158 moving around the clock.

You move this 1159 down and back, okay as you run, okay, 1160 you're going to get to that spotted 1161 impact.

It's the secret sauce that you 1162 heard us talking about.

I know probably 1163 you guys are at home throwing stuff at 1164 your computer screen, saying, Chris, just 1165 stop with that again.

What we're trying 1166 to do is simplify movement, We're trying 1167 to get you to stop thinking about low 1168 squat to square post up.

If you think 1169 about all that stuff that's happening in 1170 the golf swing, how easy is it going to 1171 be for you to swing?

Both?

How easy?

It's 1172 not going to be easy.

1173 You're going to find yourself all 1174 disheveled all day long.

1175 You've got to be able to move.

1176 After you go through the processes of 1177 what I walked you through today.

You've 1178 gone through.

You've got your setup 1179 position.

You've got your load.

You've 1180 got your transition.

You need to still do 1181 reps slow and chunky so that you get 1182 these things into a pretty decent spot.

1183 Get to a good post-up.

1184 Now you've worked on your release.

Now 1185 you start trying to move.

I would always 1186 suggest that you do this just by focusing 1187 on the legs first, just like I was doing.

1188 So move around, merry ground.

As you go 1189 to six 1190 This is a bit of an overcooked movement 1191 from the RST fundamentals.

1192 Everybody's like, holy smokes, really?

1193 Yes, it's a big move, but it's there in 1194 place to help you do well, 1195 to get your legs and your hips working.

1196 Because remember what I talked about last 1197 session, 1198 is that people want to shift, and then 1199 they want to start doing things with 1200 their arms.

You shut this stuff down, you 1201 have no choice but to start moving the 1202 club from your hands and your arms too 1203 early, and that results in the flip, the 1204 scoop, and all kinds of plane shift.

1205 Okay?

So this helps you finish that 1206 movement off.

Now, when you get really 1207 proficient with this, okay, and you start 1208 moving around the clock, okay, and you're 1209 moving this left hip down and back, your 1210 foot is going to progressively get lower 1211 to the floor.

1212 Why do I want this on the floor?

1213 Well, because it acts as a multifaceted 1214 sort of helper in your bell swing.

Number 1215 one, for lead side dominant releasers, it 1216 helps you stall the body out.

It acts as 1217 a break.

1218 Number two, it helps you stay in posture.

1219 Every one of you at home have heard the 1220 term early extension.

Where does that 1221 come from?

1222 Early extension comes from you driving 1223 off of your right leg in towards the golf 1224 ball.

So it helps you fix those two 1225 areas.

So yes, we start out by giving you 1226 dramatic movement, right?

So my right 1227 foot, my right heel is up off the ground.

1228 But as we start getting better with this, 1229 it's going to start getting smaller and 1230 tighter.

That's what you're going to find 1231 even when I start introducing the arm 1232 movements, is that the circles are going 1233 to start getting smaller and tighter.

We 1234 want you to feel movement first.

We want 1235 you to feel how big of a circle you're 1236 actually supposed to make.

We want you to 1237 feel what it's like with this right foot 1238 driving to help you move into that 1239 position.

But if you watch, as I start 1240 getting really proficient with it, you're 1241 not even going to see this big clockwise 1242 movement.

This is what it's going to look 1243 like.

1244 Okay?

It looks like a lot less.

Right?

We 1245 all agree with that?

1246 Okay?

That's what it is.

And I 1247 deliberately felt my weight moving in one 1248 direction.

1249 Counterbalance with my lead hip and my 1250 lead left.

We're doing so.

Hopefully 1251 everybody catches the point of that.

You 1252 want to start out by introducing a lot of 1253 movement, get it to where you get into 1254 the great spot.

Down at impact.

Make sure 1255 that you haven't caused any faults like 1256 early extension, and then start working 1257 on consolidating.

You want your golf 1258 swing to feel free-flowing, but you don't 1259 want it to feel like a floppy fish out of 1260 water, right?

You need to have it feel 1261 like it's put together.

So that does the 1262 same thing every single day.

And finding 1263 that middle point is much easier when you 1264 allow yourself to move.

1265 Because if you're frozen in your lower 1266 half, then where are you going to move 1267 from?

1268 You're going to move from your upper 1269 back.

1270 So now you've started to go through and 1271 introduce the movement.

Now you can bring 1272 the release back in.

So you can start 1273 turning your body back to 9 o'clock.

1274 Doing these left arm only.

1275 Or if you're going to do a little bit of 1276 trail sight, so you can do a little bit 1277 of clockwise circle.

1278 Okay?

1279 So just little small circles.

1280 Okay?

1281 Same thing.

1282 You're doing that without a club at 1283 first, then bring the club back in, go 1284 back through the processes.

Little small 1285 swings, right?

Don't try to make big 1286 swings.

When you're trying to get these 1287 things synced up, I know smaller swings 1288 don't leave you a whole lot of time to be 1289 able to get this stuff done, but 1290 prioritize where your movement comes 1291 from.

1292 Okay?

That's the most key part of this.

1293 And then as you get really progressive or 1294 as you get proficient with it, then get 1295 the other hand back on the club and start 1296 trying to hit some golf balls.

I can't 1297 emphasize enough how important it is for 1298 you guys to try to challenge yourself to 1299 get the golf ball present.

1300 Don't try to get it in there right away, 1301 though.

Take your time.

It's not about, I 1302 don't want to see you out there rifling 1303 ball after ball after ball.

That's not 1304 doing you any good.

That's just 1305 ingraining the old movement patterns.

1306 Your job is to go through these processes 1307 at the speed that you feel comfortable 1308 with to create awareness.

You create 1309 awareness.

You've got the movement synced 1310 up.

Get the club in there.

Stay aware.

1311 Put the ball in.

1312 Piece of cake, right?

1313 Right.

1314 So now let's talk about how we finish 1315 this off.

1316 And I did a lot of soul searching on this 1317 part because, again, this can create a 1318 lot of faults if we start thinking much 1319 higher up in the golf swing.

1320 If you start thinking about where your 1321 hands and your arms are in space and 1322 you're not really good down here, 1323 then I would suggest that you don't go 1324 past that 9 to 3 of those compression 1325 drills for a while because you've got to 1326 get that area right.

You've got to get 1327 this stuff synced up from here.

You've 1328 got to be really good down here.

Now, the 1329 end result, once you guys have spent the 1330 time going through either a trail side or 1331 a lead side dominant release, all of 1332 these checkpoints up here are going to 1333 lead you to the exact same result, which 1334 is on your final slide, which shows you 1335 the bathroom position looking just like 1336 this.

1337 Now, let's talk about this position.

1338 What do you see here?

1339 Well, we see my right elbow in line with 1340 my torso.

We see my left wrist is 1341 anatomically flat.

1342 And we see that my hands are right above 1343 my right shoulder.

1344 That's what it's going to look like when 1345 it's done.

But you, at home, 1346 can't just look at your hand and arm 1347 position.

Why?

Watch this very closely 1348 because I'm very well changed to do this, 1349 right?

I know where my hands and arms are 1350 supposed to be.

But look at this now.

1351 What did I not do?

1352 Well, I only turned 30 degrees, right?

1353 So I know somebody got me on that last 1354 time.

1355 It's not just about building a pretty 1356 looking backspin position or being on a 1357 plane.

It's not.

I get this all the time.

1358 I'm sure Craig does as well.

How's my 1359 backspin look?

1360 And we'll look at it in a static 1361 position.

I'll be like, it looks great.

1362 But how you got there was absolutely a 1363 mess.

How you start moving your body and 1364 where you move into and through these 1365 positions is how we look at the golf 1366 swing.

1367 Yes, static positions do unfold some 1368 things for us, but if I look at pictures 1369 of your golf swing and not a video of 1370 your golf swing, I would never be doing 1371 you any service.

It's how you move 1372 through this stuff, okay?

Because again, 1373 as I said to you a moment ago, you have 1374 kind of a window of opportunity that you 1375 need to be in.

So for you lead side 1376 dominant releasers that want to become.

1377 A good, good, solid back swing position, 1378 you're just going to start out with your 1379 left arm hanging down here freely, right 1380 hand behind your back.

Okay, and you're 1381 going to pressure shift to your right and 1382 you're going to make that big turn.

1383 Remember, your shoulders are going to try 1384 to turn to 90 degrees, and you're going 1385 to feel like your left hand now reaches 1386 up above your right shoulder.

Make sure 1387 your left wrist is flat.

Some of you had 1388 some comments and questions on that.

This 1389 is where you want to check at the top of 1390 your swing that your left wrist is 1391 anatomically flat.

You need to allow your 1392 wrist and forearm to rotate up a little 1393 bit.

Okay, so again, it's going to look 1394 like pressure shift.

Turn your body and 1395 an arm up to the top, big, big body turn, 1396 teeny, tiny, little baby arm movements, 1397 small arm movements.

The only thing that 1398 arms are doing in the golf swing, just so 1399 you understand this, is elevation.

1400 There's a little flexion from the truss 1401 side, a little wrist and forearm 1402 rotation, and a little bit of set, that's 1403 it.

Okay.

If you try to do all of these 1404 big movements with your arms.

You're 1405 going to shut your body down, so always 1406 tell yourself.

My goal is is to pressure, 1407 shift and turn load.

Rotate the left hand 1408 above the right shoulder.

Now some of you 1409 at home are going to go, Oh, Chris, 1410 that's pretty.

Like I can feel some 1411 tension in my arm and my shoulder.

Of 1412 course, you are, you're elevating your 1413 arm, right?

I could feel it when I was 1414 just doing that for you then.

But when 1415 you bring your right hand back to the 1416 side of the club, okay, if you watch and 1417 I do this, Rep.

Okay, just by taking and 1418 touching the club up here.

1419 Now, it takes so much of the stress off.

1420 It makes it much easier for you to be 1421 able to maintain that position.

1422 Now, after you get the left arm to move 1423 into that correct spot, and you add the 1424 golf club just like I did there, you want 1425 to do a bunch of reps, where you keep the 1426 right hand behind your back, pressure 1427 shift, turn, 1428 bring the right hand in.

Then you can get 1429 to a point where you start from a static 1430 address position, and then you turn, 1431 moving into the spot.

1432 Now, how do we get down from that spot?

1433 You keep your freaking arms relaxed, 1434 right?

So that shouldn't be a tense 1435 position.

And you do the lower body axing 1436 movements.

Those movements, if you keep 1437 your arms relaxed, move your hands and 1438 your arms all the way down in front of 1439 your body into a good sort of release 1440 position.

We just talked about this for 1441 probably way more minutes than I needed 1442 to.

This is the position that sets you up 1443 for this position.

1444 Remember, 1445 all the way down in front of your trail 1446 thigh is perfectly fine.

Not out here.

1447 Let them come down.

1448 If you get this spot and the club's in 1449 line with your hands, and you get the 1450 face square, 1451 have a party.

1452 Have a ball.

1453 You'll hit the ball good.

1454 All of the stuff that we used to teach 1455 within the Dead Drill, as far as our 1456 movements are concerned all the way down, 1457 are now more or less a move point.

1458 Because we've got you to understand that 1459 your legs and your hips are going to move 1460 them into that spot.

That doesn't mean 1461 that we didn't give you what the 1462 checkpoints should look like on these 1463 slides.

We gave you those, of course, 1464 right?

There's some things that you can 1465 see when you get further into the slides.

1466 But you have to understand that those 1467 positions are going to be easy for you to 1468 attain.

If you get your arms into a good 1469 spot and you just let your legs and your 1470 hips drive you to impact.

Impact is 45 1471 degrees open, left leg straight, 1472 shoulders square or slightly open.

If 1473 you're trail side now, how do we finish 1474 it off trail side?

1475 Big clock.

1476 I have not personally had a lot of 1477 success with trying to get this into my 1478 game because I'm the lead side dominant 1479 releaser.

I had to try it though because 1480 I'm teaching it.

1481 And so I found that this movement was 1482 very distracting to me, but I had to 1483 understand that this was not about me.

1484 This is about you guys.

And so this 1485 clockwise movement that you're going to 1486 hear us talk about, right?

This is a big 1487 circle, just like it would be if it was 1488 starting down with your feet and your 1489 hips.

It's a big circle.

1490 This movement right here is always moving 1491 in one direction.

It's a clockwise 1492 movement.

You couple that with what your 1493 legs and your hips are doing, and you 1494 want to think about, as you're working to 1495 get off the merry-go-round, that you're 1496 going to be strumming up on the guitar, 1497 right?

So this is what we call the air 1498 guitar move, or guitar hero move.

So that 1499 movement right there is how you're going 1500 to get your back swing position.

If you 1501 watch this clock, as I start going up, 1502 You can see that my hand went up above my 1503 right shoulder here, right?

1504 Now, this is obviously very pronounced.

1505 When I bring my left hand in there, it's 1506 not going to allow me to get all the way 1507 up and back and behind me, okay?

It's 1508 going to help create a little bit of drag 1509 to what your left arm is doing.

But 1510 that's what you would want to feel when 1511 you start moving around.

The merry-go 1512 -round is you want to start feeling your 1513 right arm doing a clockwise circle and 1514 strumming up as you're getting off the 1515 merry-go-round.

1516 That's the whole sequence.

That's why 1517 people got some really good early success 1518 with it.

1519 Early success was what we were looking 1520 for, right?

We wanted to see how fast 1521 people could implement this in their 1522 swing to do what?

1523 To overcome the major faults that we see 1524 in golf, right?

So you guys aren't living 1525 under a rock.

You know that people 1526 struggle with being over the top and 1527 struggling with lag and struggling with 1528 all that minutiae of the hitting area, 1529 right?

So this gave people or gives you 1530 guys a fighting chance.

Now, as we 1531 started putting the club back in here, 1532 remember, I got a fan.

I'm going to have 1533 to choke me down on them.

To be able to 1534 shallow things out.

Okay, and then be 1535 able to release the club with some lack 1536 again.

That's not a bad movie, a bad way 1537 to move, right?

That's that's what the 1538 the nuts and bolts of the action mark.

1539 But you can understand from my 1540 perspective as a golf instructor.

And 1541 somebody that's been lead side dominant, 1542 and somebody that's been around for a 1543 while, that that added movement can also 1544 screw some people up, right?

It can get 1545 you kind of like, Wow, I got.

I got way 1546 too much freedom, and that's what I saw.

1547 I personally saw a lot more freedom.

1548 Where People were getting their arms a 1549 little bit on the deeper side.

They were 1550 kind of getting stuck on the right side 1551 and not really getting things synced up 1552 as well.

1553 But again, if you feel like you're never 1554 going to be a lead side dominant person, 1555 you're always going to have to rely on 1556 your trail side, then go ahead and start 1557 making those clockwise circles.

But what 1558 you'll notice is, it's just like I talked 1559 about a moment ago with the footwork, is 1560 that your circles are going to get 1561 tighter.

So you're going to start feeling 1562 it.

Your circles are going to get 1563 tighter.

1564 Looks like kind of Matthew Wolf at first.

1565 So now.

I'm going to start turning, so 1566 you're not going to feel as much of a 1567 dramatic circle, okay?

It's going to get 1568 progressively tighter and tighter.

It's 1569 still going to move you to the spot that 1570 I just demonstrated just a moment ago, 1571 it's going to move you into this spot.

1572 Hands above the right shoulder, right 1573 elbow in line, left wrist spot on the 1574 top.

Both of them will move you to that 1575 spot if they're done correctly.

I prefer 1576 to teach lead side dominant.

Because 1577 Giving people the freedom of a circle 1578 does create a big fault that I dealt with 1579 myself when I played golf professionally.

1580 I came down stuck with my arms.

1581 I admit it, right?

That forced me to hit 1582 a hook.

1583 So that's how you finish the back side.

1584 Now, as I said to you at the start of 1585 today's session, I'm going to give you a 1586 way to practice this.

1587 The way that I want you to practice this 1588 is work at the pace that you feel 1589 comfortable.

1590 Work at the pace that you feel 1591 comfortable at.

1592 Don't feel like you have to go and get 1593 all of this stuff done the next day.

1594 Don't.

Just don't do that.

Focus on 1595 getting your setup right.

Then focus on, 1596 okay, I'm going to start working on my 1597 load to my right side, making sure I have 1598 those key checkpoints that Chris spoke 1599 about.

What are those key checkpoints?

1600 Well, I want to maintain a little bit of 1601 flex.

I want to get 70% of my weight as I 1602 pressure shift.

1603 I want to make a good 90-degree turn, and 1604 I'm going to have right around 85% to 90% 1605 of my weight underneath my right leg, 1606 right?

So it's going to build pressure as 1607 you're turning your body on that side.

So 1608 you have those checkpoints in your brain.

1609 You do that really proficiently.

And you 1610 start moving into transition.

And you 1611 start moving into post-up.

And you start 1612 moving into and through those positions.

1613 And you start working on release.

That's 1614 how I want you to practice.

And I know a 1615 lot of you guys at home are looking for 1616 me to say a structured number.

I'm not 1617 giving you a structured number because 1618 everybody's a little bit different.

1619 Yes, we do want you to get somewhere 1620 between 100 to 300 reps per day when 1621 you're working on this stuff.

1622 But I know some of us don't have time to 1623 do 100 or 300 reps.

So doing some reps 1624 does help you.

1625 But you want to remember, those 100 or 1626 300 reps, if they're done properly, is 1627 going to have a payoff at the end of it.

1628 If you start introducing it and it feels 1629 like a movement and it's a pattern that's 1630 tied together, you're at the end result.

1631 You'll get to the end result finally.

1632 You'll stop having to listen to me yak at 1633 you.

1634 The other piece that I want you guys to 1635 focus in on is using the swing reviews on 1636 the side.

1637 I hate salesy stuff.

I really do.

In 1638 fact, the putting webinar that I'm going 1639 to give, I'm going to say that out of the 1640 gate because I'm not a salesman.

I'm just 1641 a person delivering information and I 1642 know this stuff works.

1643 The swing review system is there for a 1644 reason.

It allows us to customize your 1645 swing and your changes to your swing.

1646 Craig and I, I'm going to just tell you 1647 this right now, we're really, really 1648 freaking good at it.

We really are.

We've 1649 worked with a lot of instructors.

We've 1650 trained a lot of instructors.

1651 We're really freaking good about helping 1652 you specifically.

1653 Okay.

No, no, no, no.

There's some people 1654 in the room that have worked with me.

1655 There's some people that have worked with 1656 Craig there.

There's no substitute for 1657 having support in this process because 1658 yes, I gave you all of the tools that you 1659 guys really have to have in order to be 1660 able to succeed.

You know exactly the 1661 spots that you're going to be looking 1662 for.

Okay.

You know exactly the point of 1663 getting into a good delivery and how to 1664 get it into a good left wrist position at 1665 impact.

1666 But if you start going through things in 1667 a way and you start going down these 1668 rabbit holes that isn't leading to your 1669 success, then you're going to find 1670 yourself getting frustrated.

And we want 1671 to get ahead of that first.

Plus, it also 1672 helps us.

1673 It helps you get practice programs that 1674 might be specific to you.

So I can tell 1675 anybody to do 100 reps or 300 reps of all 1676 the stuff I just talked about.

But 1677 everybody's going to be at different 1678 points of the blending process.

So I'm 1679 not going to give you that specifically.

1680 That's what I'm moving myself away from.

1681 This year is that saying everybody's 1682 going to pick this up right away?

I'm 1683 going to tell you, right now, people are 1684 picking it up pretty quickly.

To just 1685 follow these little checkpoints and 1686 understand that I don't give a about the 1687 club and the ball.

First, excuse my 1688 mouth, I don't.

I care about how your 1689 body moves, you train your body to move 1690 properly.

You're going to look just like 1691 you're going to be able to do this at the 1692 blink of an eye, right?

I can sit there 1693 and have a conversation with you and do 1694 it.

Not just because I teach it, but 1695 because I've done it myself.

So you have 1696 to use the support.

If you don't, then 1697 remember.

1698 Just make sure you're working on things 1699 in the order that we outline, because 1700 that's how you'll get some success with 1701 this stuff.

1702 You start trying to go into this too 1703 fast, hitting long, big shots, and don't 1704 create the awareness, then all bets are 1705 off.

1706 Now, as I said to you guys at the start, 1707 we also have the new RSA live webinar.

I 1708 really love this format.

I really do.

1709 Again, not a sales pitch.

It's just a 1710 different way for us to introduce new 1711 topics to you.

If you're interested in 1712 that, I know Craig has been.

1713 Craig just got me on the square jar, 1714 sorry.

1715 Craig has been posting links up there.

1716 He's posting links to the videos.

You 1717 guys can go back and look at that.

1718 This is a great opportunity for you guys 1719 to take advantage of being able to see, 1720 even if you missed Chuck's first webinar 1721 on speed, he talks a lot about what the 1722 right arm is going to be doing in the 1723 downward half to help facilitate more 1724 lag.

That video is available.

1725 So I wanted to close with that.

I wanted 1726 to also thank you guys with everything 1727 that I am because this stuff is really 1728 hard to deliver.

Okay, because it's nerve 1729 -wracking.

I don't know if any of you have 1730 done like, sat in front of a camera 1731 before, but it's funny.

Like anytime I 1732 used to film for the website.

Like you, 1733 just you think about it, you're out there 1734 with yourself and a camera, maybe one 1735 other person, and the minute the camera 1736 comes on, you change.

And so I thank you 1737 guys for taking the time to listen to me 1738 yak with you guys for the last two weeks.

1739 I hope, I sincerely hope you guys enjoy 1740 the stuff that you heard from me.

Um, I 1741 really enjoyed working with every one of 1742 you, I really do, it's, it's my passion, 1743 it's.

I have such a great love for this 1744 game.

And I can sit there and talk to 1745 each and every one of you individually.

1746 And and probably bore you.

But I would.

I 1747 always like to help you guys, so please 1748 make sure that you understand I'm here to 1749 help.

Craig's here to help if you guys 1750 have any questions, any questions at all, 1751 as far as the stuff that we talked about 1752 here today.

Um, or you guys have any 1753 other, you know, added questions on?

1754 Maybe some adjustments for, you know, 1755 your driver, which we can talk about if 1756 you want.

Um, 1757 Then I'll stick around.

But again, for 1758 those of you that don't want to stick 1759 around any longer, you guys have had 1760 enough of me.

I really do thank you guys 1761 very much.

Let's open it up for Q&A, and 1762 we will go from there.

1763 So, Howard, I'm having a problem stalling 1764 on my body.

Momentum from squat to square 1765 and post-up doesn't stop my hips.

1766 Continue to open for my legs and hips, 1767 moving too aggressively.

So, Howard, 1768 really, really good, good way to get that 1769 stuff under control is that piece that I 1770 talked about with the roll of the right 1771 foot.

When your right foot is rolled to 1772 the instep, Okay, if you look at any of 1773 our model swings, too, you will notice 1774 that.

Chuck is rolled to the inset of his 1775 foot until his hands and arms wouldn't 1776 be.

Well into my release, it stays down 1777 now.

This acts as a break, right?

The 1778 minute my foot comes up, look how much 1779 more mobility I have in my hips, so by 1780 having it down on the floor, it restricts 1781 the mobility.

So I would really, really 1782 strongly suggest that you specifically go 1783 watch the video on the website called The 1784 Roll of the Right Foot in the Down Swing.

1785 For any time I mention a video, just so 1786 you guys know this at home, if you're 1787 logged into the website, there's a search 1788 tab on the top right-hand corner.

Click 1789 on that search tab.

You can type whatever 1790 you want.

If it says, you just type role, 1791 R-O-L-E, then you will see all the videos 1792 populate.

If you type lag or release, all 1793 that stuff's going to populate.

1794 All right.

1795 So, Stephen, thank you so much for the 1796 words, man.

I really do appreciate that.

1797 Thank you.

Thank you so much.

1798 Let's see what we've got for questions.

1799 Been stuck big time.

Single hands work 1800 great.

As soon as I get my bad brother, 1801 even with touching, get really loose and 1802 slamming the glim.

Okay.

So here's a good 1803 way to overcome that is give it a gradual 1804 kind of kick in the butt.

So I'm going to 1805 demonstrate lead side dominant.

1806 So if you're doing this stuff really 1807 well, 1808 okay, you're looking like a rock star.

1809 But the minute you get this hand back on 1810 there, all hell breaks loose and you 1811 start looking like that.

1812 Allow it to follow along, but allow it to 1813 come off before impact.

It's stopping 1814 here.

This is very much what you would 1815 see in five minutes to a perfect release.

1816 The lose the right hand VJ release drill, 1817 I'm sorry, the VJ release drill, and then 1818 the lose the right hand release drill.

1819 That what it does is it allows you to get 1820 it to coexist with you in a smaller 1821 format.

But then what you can do is you 1822 can kind of challenge yourself.

You look 1823 at where my hand's coming off now, you 1824 watch it, it's coming off a little bit 1825 later, a little bit later.

1826 Eventually, you're going to be able to 1827 stay on there all the way through.

1828 So it's just about challenging yourself.

1829 I like to get it fully back on there 1830 right away because that's what you're 1831 going to do on a golf course.

But if you 1832 find that you're just going back down the 1833 pathway of all destruction in your 1834 hitting area, then get it off the club 1835 and pick a spot that you're going to have 1836 it fall off with.

Now, I will say this.

1837 That does take a lot of discipline, a lot 1838 of discipline, because people always feel 1839 like they have to have it on the club.

1840 Take golf balls.

I've got plenty of 1841 players where they're sending in videos 1842 with their right hand off the club before 1843 their hands get to the front of their 1844 trail top.

They're that committed to 1845 making this change.

It just takes it 1846 takes a certain amount of fortitude and a 1847 certain amount of dedication, a certain 1848 amount of commitment, that's the key.

So 1849 please detail the trail wrist motion on 1850 the downswing from right in front of the 1851 trail leg through impact.

Okay, so the 1852 trail wrist when you come down is going 1853 to be into a little bit of flexion here.

1854 So it's it's in that sort of set 1855 position.

So if you grab a hammer at 1856 home, if you aren't going to hinge your 1857 wrist back, it's going to kind of be down 1858 into that set spot that you hear us talk 1859 about.

So when you come down and you're 1860 in the spot, we're getting ready to 1861 release it.

It's going to have this sort 1862 of set, it's going to now start to 1863 uncock.

The uncocking movement is not a 1864 forced movement.

Okay, it's not right, 1865 you wouldn't.

You're not going to get 1866 tense in your hand to try to 1867 kind of whip the hammer, right?

There's 1868 some active movement from the wrist for 1869 sure.

But when you're starting out this 1870 process, you can actually just kind of 1871 let that happen for you because the club 1872 is going to have a lot of weight.

So as 1873 the right wrist comes down and impact at 1874 the point of contact, it's not going to 1875 be in full lower deviation.

1876 Okay, not yet.

It will be just in front 1877 of the golf ball.

So it's going to go 1878 into this position where it's uncocked 1879 full.

1880 Okay, so it's basically going from a sort 1881 of set position, right?

Kind of that 1882 middle point.

1883 It's losing some of that, and then it 1884 gets to full only deviation at the bottom 1885 of the arc.

The ball is just before the 1886 bottom of the arc, right, because we want 1887 to hit down on it.

1888 How do we know what to have our swing 1889 reviews on?

I always think I do 1890 everything right.

So awesome question.

1891 Here's a good way to think about this.

1892 When you get to a point where we're 1893 working on ball striking, which is quite 1894 honestly the best part of my job, where 1895 you get to send me videos of you hitting 1896 golf balls and saying, I hit 50 balls.

I 1897 feel like I'm doing everything right.

1898 This is what my misses are.

You're going 1899 to get to a point at home where we want 1900 to start diagnosing where your little 1901 misses come from.

1902 Golf is a game of misses.

1903 If you think about shot dispersion, 1904 everybody thinks about shot dispersion 1905 from a side-to-side standpoint.

Yes, I 1906 think about it from side-to-side as well 1907 because we want to miss small.

But I 1908 think more about it from a front-to-back 1909 dispersion first.

Why?

1910 Well, front to back, think about this 1911 with me.

1912 If you go out there and you were to hit 1913 balls with me, and I'm going to hit an 8 1914 -iron, 167.

My stock 8-iron is going to go 1915 167.

1916 Let's back it off a little bit.

I haven't 1917 played any golf.

Probably 162.

1918 And I hit every single one of those golf 1919 balls, and I have really good solid 1920 action with my left wrist, and I'm 1921 letting things, I'm freed up.

All my 1922 balls are going to be right in that 158 1923 to 162 to 164 mark.

There's going to be 1924 very little.

1925 dispersion because I'm hitting on the 1926 face.

Now, Amateur golfers that go out 1927 there and don't have good club face 1928 control and good solid impact positions 1929 are going to find that.

Their balls are 1930 going to be 170 all the way down to 140.

1931 You're going to have this much wider 1932 discrepancy there.

I think about that.

1933 Yeah.

Well, what's wrong with hitting 1934 further?

Well, hitting it further than 1935 what you're expecting is not awesome to a 1936 certain degree, right?

Because if you get 1937 down and you kind of knife one a little 1938 bit.

Or 1939 you've reduced spin loft, or you've 1940 increased your spin loft, and you've 1941 increased dynamic loft numbers to a 1942 certain degree.

And your ball is kind of, 1943 it's a flyer, right?

That's not control, 1944 golf is about control, the only that's 1945 why they give us so many clubs in the 1946 back.

So to answer and compound on that 1947 is when you get to a point where you 1948 think you're doing everything right.

1949 Let's send us videos of you hitting golf 1950 balls.

We want to see like, I want to 1951 know how you're getting the ball.

But 1952 like, this is my mix, I'm hitting a 1953 little bit thin, 1954 Maybe I'm hitting a little bit heavy.

1955 Maybe I'm seeing a little bit more 1956 movement in the ball than I want.

And 1957 send it just because it could be one 1958 little small tweak.

But what it also does 1959 is it allows us to help you understand 1960 what your misses are so that you can be 1961 armed with a bigger arsenal of ways to 1962 practice, right?

So I love that part.

And 1963 I have a lot of people that are at that 1964 point right now where they're sending in 1965 videos of them hitting all of their 1966 folks.

1967 So lean side sounds like it's easier on 1968 the body.

Less flexible old guy.

1969 Absolutely, Jennifer.

I have nine, just 1970 nine screen reviews in my bank, if I use 1971 those.

Will the instructors provide 1972 similar feedback as provided by you?

1973 Jennifer?

Yes, absolutely.

Just put in 1974 the notes that you were, um, an axiom 1975 boot camp member.

And we will definitely 1976 make sure that you have that sort of 1977 information.

So please discuss.

Shoulder 1978 plane is steeper, better.

I tend to have 1979 a good backswing plane, but it levels up 1980 during the downswing.

Any suggestions?

So 1981 Ralph, good question.

So shoulders are 1982 going to rotate perpendicular to your 1983 spine, so if you have a line coming up my 1984 back here, okay, my shoulders should be 1985 perpendicular to my spine.

On the way 1986 down, if you look at it as I come down 1987 slowly, they're going to rotate on that 1988 same plane that they rotated back on, 1989 because the way they rotate back on the 1990 way down.

Now.

If you're finding that 1991 your shoulders level off too quickly, 1992 okay in transition, this is a good 1993 indicator that you have unwound your 1994 shoulders too quickly.

Okay, so, make 1995 sure that you feel like you're trying to 1996 keep that right shoulder up and behind 1997 your head as much as you possibly can.

A 1998 few different ways to overcome that.

And 1999 I probably I will, I will actually go 2000 into this is, if you think about this, if 2001 I turn my guts in my rib cage and I've 2002 got some contraction here.

When you start 2003 shifting left and allowing your head to 2004 come back into its position, try to 2005 maintain that sort of 2006 tense feeling that you feel in your rib 2007 cage or right shoulder up.

Those are two 2008 good ways that are on top of a back to 2009 the target sort of approach that you've 2010 heard us talk about.

So I'd like to be 2011 able to give you guys some different 2012 feels to help you overcome those faults.

2013 So at which point should the acceleration 2014 happen immediately from six 2015 It should be as aggressive as you can get 2016 it when you start moving from six o 2017 'clock.

2018 Things are happening fast.

This is the 2019 point where you start moving and 2020 aggressively getting your hips working 2021 for you.

The hips are helping 2022 multifaceted here.

They're adding speed 2023 to the hands and the arms, but they're 2024 also helping move the hands and arms out 2025 in front of the body.

2026 If I go to the top of my swing and I turn 2027 my hips, my arms move this way.

2028 As soon as you get to 6 o'clock, 2029 imperative that you start getting 2030 aggressive.

2031 Craig, you're a rock star, man.

Thank you 2032 so much for answering so many questions.

2033 Do I need to make modifications for half 2034 or three-quarter wedge swings?

2035 So, no.

You can actually do the same 2036 thing with half or three-quarter wedge 2037 swings.

That's another great question.

2038 So, ideally, if you are using body turn 2039 to move your arms into that kind of half 2040 swing environment, and you're using that 2041 weight shift and that body turn, then 2042 you're still using your legs in the same 2043 sort of proper hand and arm function down 2044 through the bottom.

Now, if you're 2045 working on, let's just say, 2046 Let's say this very lightly.

Let me just 2047 say, maybe you're working on a shot where 2048 you're trying not to let the club release 2049 as much.

So you're going to be more of a 2050 body turn sort of release, which is very 2051 common.

I actually will be the first 2052 person to admit when I hit my wet shots, 2053 let's just say this is like a 50 degree 2054 wet, which is not okay, but let's say it 2055 is.

And I'm going to hit like a 75 yard 2056 shot, where my maximum distance is only 2057 like 105, 106 is if I'm going to hit a 75 2058 yard shot.

When you see me hit a ball, 2059 because you're going to see me turn my 2060 body a little bit more through.

Why?

2061 Well, when I was growing up as a kid, 2062 that's how I developed feel.

I developed 2063 feel because I thought that that was the 2064 right way to do it.

When you're into the 2065 shorter shots, finesse shots, or chipping 2066 and pitching, or taking a little bit off 2067 of it, that comes down to a lot of feel.

2068 And feel, I don't care what golf 2069 instructor can teach you feel.

2070 No golf instructor can teach you feel.

2071 They can give you drills to help you 2072 develop your own feel, but we can't teach 2073 you feel.

2074 And that's why I don't use the clock per 2075 se.

It's like, okay, you got to have the 2076 one o'clock here to be able to hit it 2077 this far.

Everybody's going to be 2078 different, right?

Everybody's going to 2079 have different amounts of forward shaft 2080 and different amounts of face angle.

2081 So my point is, is that under a stock 2082 shot, half swings, three quarter swings, 2083 everything's going to remain the same.

If 2084 you're so used to being able to develop 2085 your feel around a little bit more body 2086 turns at the hitting area to help kind of 2087 deaden things up a little bit, totally 2088 fine as well.

We can help you with that 2089 specific shots.

2090 How to avoid sitting down on backswing I 2091 have no space to squat, so how to avoid 2092 sitting down on backswing?

I have no 2093 space.

So you're basically, I'm trying to 2094 understand the question.

So you want to 2095 make sure that you have just enough 2096 deflex that address, you don't want to 2097 increase the flex as you're going back.

2098 That's a big no-no.

There's, I actually 2099 used to teach this a little bit where?

If 2100 you were one of those right leg 2101 straighters like this, I would tell you 2102 to feel like you're decreasing it as you 2103 go back on that side, but then people 2104 start getting overcooked with that, so I 2105 moved away from that.

Your job is just to 2106 set up with your weight underneath your 2107 ankles, keep your right leg as flexed as 2108 you can, and just turn.

2109 You don't want to feel any downward 2110 pressure into your knees.

2111 Chuck teaches about the right wrist 2112 rotating clockwise during the downswing 2113 pro lead.

Lead side is the lead arm for 2114 being pulled down, or should it just feel 2115 clockwise rotation, or, well, just the 2116 trail wrist?

So that movement that 2117 you're, that you're talking about with 2118 Chuck talking and what the right wrist is 2119 going to be doing.

The top of the swing 2120 is helping shallow the plane, it's also 2121 helping you kind of get some more lag in 2122 there.

There's there's three different 2123 ways to look at this.

Okay, we're not 2124 ever going to teach different end 2125 results, we're going to talk to you about 2126 different ways to get to the end result.

2127 Again, if you're setting it into a good 2128 spot at the top and then you keep the 2129 wrist supple, right, I've said that 2130 multiple times, then you're going to come 2131 down into the same delivery point.

So if 2132 you have to do that sort of clockwise 2133 movement to help you shallow things out 2134 but help develop a little more lag, it's 2135 still very much in line with what I'm 2136 teaching.

It's just different ways to get 2137 you there, right?

I can go to the top of 2138 my swing.

If you watch, you're very close 2139 to it, okay?

2140 Right?

Now, if I just shift my hips left, 2141 did you see me work on any sort of.

2142 Clockwise movement On the way down Do you 2143 see any sort of clockwise wrist movement?

2144 Those are what we call feel sensations.

2145 So to help get the club to kind of do 2146 certain things.

That doesn't mean that 2147 everybody in the room is going to be able 2148 to do that sort of thing.

So you have to 2149 remember these things are.

It's all going 2150 to come back the same way.

We just have 2151 different teaching styles.

Because, you 2152 know, he sees certain things, I see 2153 certain things, Craig sees certain 2154 things.

Okay, and so how I'm delivering 2155 the information from my side, I would 2156 say, is very much what we teach RST.

2157 Fundamentally, what he's teaching is more 2158 of the feel, that kind of ties back into 2159 axiom.

To help get the club to do well, 2160 all that helps, shallow it out.

everybody 2161 always wants to shallow the club out, 2162 right, everybody.

Okay.

Do lead side 2163 dominant pros focus on hands at all?

Ah, 2164 yes, I have to ensure that the axiom 2165 swings down the lead hand 2166 counterclockwise, just so the hands don't 2167 go wrong.

2168 That's I'm supposed to automatically 2169 bring.

So this is kind of a loaded 2170 question, but it's a good question.

I'm 2171 gonna answer it.

I think about my left 2172 wrist, and I had this question this week, 2173 actually, I think about my left wrist.

2174 The entire golf swing, when I'm trying to 2175 flight the golf ball, what I mean by 2176 flight?

It is either if I'm trying to hit 2177 it down, or I'm trying to hit it up, or 2178 I'm trying to move it.

That's the only 2179 time I'm thinking about my left wrist, 2180 The other times when I'm hitting a stock 2181 shot, if I'm literally on a number and 2182 I'm looking down the fairway or wherever 2183 I'm looking, and I'm just trying to get a 2184 stock shot to my number, I'm not thinking 2185 of anything about my hands.

2186 But there's a lot of times in the golf 2187 course you're having to get to the point 2188 where you're moving the ball, right?

2189 We're trying to move the ball from one 2190 direction to the other.

So you've got to 2191 think about it a little bit.

2192 As far as, I think that's the best way 2193 for me to kind of keep myself out of 2194 trouble in this one.

2195 I'm not trying to oblique your question.

2196 But there's a lot of times people can 2197 start getting lost in overthinking that.

2198 So the left wrist, obviously the point of 2199 contact, is going to matter the most, 2200 right?

What it's doing in space is 2201 helping manipulate where the face angle 2202 is, helping manipulate the shaft and the 2203 degrees of closure in the focus.

Okay, 2204 would you recommend for one swing 2205 thought?

What would you recommend for one 2206 swing thought utilizing accent?

I love 2207 this question, 2208 Can I combine it?

2209 So left hip, so left butt, left hip, and 2210 left wrist.

2211 You can do this, okay, like I've been 2212 demonstrating.

2213 That right there is the big ticket, 2214 right?

So yes, you need that load process 2215 to happen, but if you get into good 2216 stable position, you've got your left 2217 wrist in a good spot.

2218 That's what I'm saying, when playing.

2219 That's what I would focus on, is 2220 literally thinking about your left butt, 2221 your left hip moving down and back.

And 2222 feeling your left wrist and forearm 2223 moving through right in the spots that we 2224 just talked about.

If you have to, you 2225 have to motor the golf swing from 2226 somewhere, but you also have to be able 2227 to control the golf development from 2228 somewhere.

So that's what I like 2229 personally.

Um, that doesn't mean that 2230 that's going to work for every single 2231 person in the room.

That's kind of going 2232 back off of Tosip's comment that I have 2233 to be cautious because people can grab 2234 the information.

They start going into 2235 these pathways where I'll help you break 2236 loose.

2237 So looks like we're winding down.

2238 Yeah.

2239 Did I miss any questions?

If I missed any 2240 questions, please repost.

2241 Otherwise, I think we're good.

2242 Anthony, thank you so much.

Thank you 2243 very much.

I really do appreciate the 2244 time words.

2245 How can we use lead side axiom and bunker 2246 play?

2247 So lead side axiom and bunker play stuff.

2248 I don't like to use a lot of slow.

2249 I don't use a lot of personal lower body 2250 movement here when I'm hitting bunker 2251 shots, but that doesn't mean that it's 2252 right or wrong.

2253 Short game isn't art.

It really is.

2254 You're going to see a lot of people like 2255 to use their lower body quite a bit.

I 2256 don't like to feel a lot of that big 2257 movement.

2258 You can use this, but you have to 2259 remember the bunker shots, you want the 2260 club.

This is the one swing you want the 2261 club getting past your hands.

You want to 2262 be able to get the club really getting 2263 underneath the golf ball.

2264 I would say that you're probably going to 2265 have to feel a little bit left arm stall 2266 down through there, you'll feel a little 2267 bit more help from the hands.

Okay, that 2268 was a roundabout answer.

All right, guys, 2269 I think that's it.

Anybody else have any 2270 questions?

Jennifer?

Thank you so much 2271 for the kind words.

You've been enjoying 2272 my work with.

How do you preserve the 2273 replace?

The replays are yours.

I'm not 2274 sure exactly what the time frame is.

2275 We've been making some adjustments on our 2276 side.

2277 So, but you should have them for your 2278 other.

So, shot 80 yesterday in 50-degree 2279 weather.

2280 High-seam-swing stuff Chris just 2281 mentioned.

I'm watching my swim review 2282 with Craig beforehand.

2283 Awesome.

2284 That's awesome.

2285 That's getting out there golfing your 2286 ball, man.

So, the sky's the limit.

2287 You guys have been awesome.

So, I'm going 2288 to go.

I'm going to get ready for a 2289 putting webinar.

I'm going to get some 2290 water in me.

2291 Thank you guys very much.

If you guys 2292 have any questions, please feel free to 2293 post those questions up in the community 2294 forums.

Craig and I will do our best to 2295 help you guys out moving forward.

2296 Craig, thank you so much for all your 2297 help this camp as well.

Craig's a rock 2298 star sitting on the other end helping me 2299 with all these questions.

Merry Christmas 2300 to you guys.

2301 My back swing is more like ROMS.

Could 2302 you show what it looks like compared to a 2303 full swing?

2304 Yeah, so full back swing.

which said is a 2305 hand up above right shoulder this is a 2306 variable right so i actually have a very 2307 shallow back to myself you can see my 2308 hands didn't get above my right shoulder 2309 that's totally fine right you just want 2310 to make sure that you don't have your 2311 hands and arms getting way in behind your 2312 body you don't have the right elbow 2313 playing behind you being stuck is not fun 2314 i promise you get it from the inside all 2315 right guys thank you all very much have a 2316 wonderful rest of your day
