Bootcamp 7, Sept 19 2020, Session 2

Session 2 of 6

---

All right.

Welcome back, everyone.

Welcome back.

Happy Saturday.

Hope everybody has had a wonderful week.

I don't know if anybody's got a chance to see what's going on with the US Open yesterday, but I'll tell you right now, USGA is going to make that golf course.

Those boys are going to have to get some this weekend.

You can see it coming, though.

Yesterday when they started chaining off, the golf course started to firm up a little bit, started to get a little bit faster.

Have you watched any of it?

I haven't seen any of it yet.

I would say.

If we see anybody at one under or better, they did a really good job.

They golfers would be really difficult.

So those of you that are already in the room checking in, say hi.

Hopefully you guys had a wonderful week.

Harry checking in.

Robbo checking in from New Jersey.

Nice to see you guys.

William checking in from Naples.

Lee checking in.

Craig from Madison.

You got somebody with your name.

Terry checking in.

That's a great name.

Jason checking in from SoCal.

What's going on, Jason?

How you doing?

Robert from Atlanta, my home.

That's Ryland.

Ryan checking in from Denver.

We've got Netherlands checking in.

Nice.

Arnie, welcome.

Bonnie checking in from SoCal.

Harry's from Aiken.

Arthur checking in from D.

C.

I used to play in a tournament.

What is it?

That's the oldest golf course there, Harry.

I used to play in the Southern Cross there in high school.

Mick checking in from Minneapolis.

I actually used to work with a guy named Mick Finn.

Paul Meadow, yeah.

Popular name, popular name.

Joseph checking in from Seattle.

Welcome.

Welcome, Kevin.

So for those of you that have had a chance to watch it in the U.

S.

Open, why don't you let us know what your predictions are for this weekend?

I know we've got Patrick Reed up there at four under.

We've got Bryce DeChambeau at three under.

And then you've got a whole slew of people chasing in behind him.

I haven't seen any, but I saw some quotes from Bryson yesterday.

He's complaining about the guarantee.

He's just like, these are the worst.

Yeah.

So his interview on Tuesday when they were talking to him about what his plan, what his objective was for the week, is that he was out there testing a lot of the holes where he was still trying to hit it as far as he could on these holes because he realized that.

even with getting it as far down there, if he was in the rough, that he could still hack it out of the rough and get it to the front end of the green.

And he felt like that was an advantage still to him.

And so he was going to stay with that.

He did say that he would eventually maybe put on the brakes on certain holes if it was, you know, wind was playing a factor.

But it's funny to just watch him go at it like Kamikaze.

He is literally swinging at it every part of his body.

It's kind of like what you would do on a video game, like power up, power up on every single swing.

Yeah, Xander for the win.

I like it.

Kevin says, up in the air, of course it's so damn hard, it'll be fun to watch.

I like when USGA can manipulate things like this, where they can firm up the golf course, they can make these guys go out there and look like brilliant beings, but people don't understand.

Even going out there and not making a lot of birdies, these guys are playing some incredible golf.

I mean, they're playing incredible golf.

So, it's gonna be interesting Sunday, for sure.

I'm interested to tune in today and watch a little bit.

David from Sugar Land.

Welcome, welcome.

So first few minutes, We're going to let everybody get settled in.

Because I'm sure there are some people that didn't follow instructions on Tuesday and forgot how to get into the room today.

So we'll let them get settled in.

Now is a good time.

If you guys had any questions at all from the stuff that we talked about on Tuesday, please feel free to post those up.

We'll answer some questions here for a few minutes.

If you guys just want to talk golf or you want to talk about Craig's.

Really nice, free flowing hair that he's got.

Right now.

We can talk about that stuff, but, um, in just about three to five minutes we'll go ahead and get underway.

What we're going to do today, too.

We like to do this is we like to give a little recap, and we like to actually talk about some of the common faults that we saw throughout the week.

With, uh, within the swingery process, we'd like to address that because, you know, it gives the whole group kind of an idea as to where people are at.

I will say this before we get into that.

This group is absolutely fantastic and out of the seven boot camps that we've got, or this is number seven.

This is the best I've seen, right?

Definitely concur with Chris on that one.

From what we did on Tuesday to what I've seen on the reviews this week.

I mean, the complaint department for me is very small, which is very rare because anybody out there knows I get very nitpicky.

I was very proud of this group so far.

Okay, so we've got a couple questions to come in, so let's go ahead and answer those questions.

Does the weight stay over the ankles for the backswing the entire time.

Yes, that's actually something we're going to be addressing today.

We're going to talk a little bit about your go zone and your no-go zone, but yes, you want your weight to remain in true balance during the entire bell swim.

You're going to feel some pressure to the forward parts of the foot and to the really, really severe trail side of the foot, but a bulk of the pressure needs to be centered right underneath those ankle joints.

You're going to notice that weight shift kind of works like a figure eight.

We'll talk a little bit about that further today when we start working on your transition.

Definitely some key points, so great question there.

Henry says ball placement.

What's the way during setup to get the correct ball placement?

So ball position under every single golf that we have in our bag, except for our driver, is going to be off of your left ear.

And in fact, you can actually play a driver off your left ear if you'd like to.

Typically, we'll say off your left ear or the logo on your chest.

Every single glove, no matter what you've heard or read on Golf Digest, your ball position is always going to be off your left ear.

Now, why is that?

Well, because the position of your beach shoulder is the determining factor as to where the golf is going to bottom out.

This is your primary pivot point in the golf swing.

This is the determining factor.

If you want a very good, consistent golf swing that's going to be in the same spot every single day, then your bottom of your arc is going to be in the same spot every single day.

Now, when you get to specialty shots, when you're starting to work on maybe fighting the golf ball a different way, or maybe you're working on knocking the golf ball down, or maybe you're working on hitting some track draws or track cuts, you can start manipulating ball position around just a little bit.

But think about that as being gradual, right?

You're getting your PhD list.

So ball position should always be off that left ear.

So good question.

Uh, could you go through once more how we get a video to you for reviews?

So, on the website, if you go to the top tab, once you're logged in, it says Swing Reviews.

Right on there.

On the top tab.

Click on that and then just follow that big green button in the middle of it that says, Get Swing Review.

It'll have you upload your videos, just like if you were an attachment email, and then you just go ahead and submit those to us.

You can even type some notes out to us about what it is you're doing, what you're working on.

You just say hi to us, or you can yell at us if you'd like to, whatever you prefer to do.

But it's a pretty seamless process.

If you get stuck on it, then go to the help section on the website because we've been doing this for a long time.

We've heard every question under the sun.

We've run into every single technical issue that could be presented to us, and we've figured out ways to be able to communicate how to get you through.

So definitely take a look at the help section there.

All right, so would you fellas address the not rounding of the shoulders?

For sure.

Okay, so the shoulders in the golf swing need to be in a neutral position how to dress.

Okay, now we're going to talk a little bit about the one exception to the rule first, and then we'll get this.

If you're really broad across your shoulders and your chest, when you hinge to get over the golf ball, it's going to be harder for you to keep your shoulders fully back into neutral.

and get your hands and arms on the golf ball.

You're going to feel like you have T-Rex arms.

So if you're a little bit wider across the chest or broader across the shoulders, you can allow for a little bit of roundness there.

Now, for the rest of you, which is 95% of you, we want your shoulders to remain neutral.

Like if you were standing here having a conversation with us, the best way to do this is just shrug your shoulders up to your ears and then depress them, and then just hold them in a nice neutral spot here.

Now, when you hinge forward from your hips, okay, what you're doing here, is you've got to remember that the shoulders are going to want to try to round forward because gravity is trying to pull them down in this way.

And so your job is just to hold them in a good neutral position as you're getting yourself over the ball.

Now, the reasons for this, there's multiple reasons.

Now, from an instructional standpoint, what Craig and I are going to see if you get really rounded, then we know that you're going to move more so from your hands and your arms to get your golf swing started.

We know.

We can see it right away.

That's a very, very common mistake that we see with golfers is that they start putting themselves in a position where they can.

It's very easy to move them.

From a biomechanics standpoint, you have to understand that the position of your scapula is critical for being able to transfer energy from your trunk and your core.

There's a big study done by some of the people that sit on our medical panel on this biomechanics, Jeff Broker out of Arizona, who did a study that said that the position of the scapula is critical for being able to transfer this energy.

Think about a boxer.

A boxer doesn't hold its shoulder up by its ear for a punch, right?

A boxer holds its shoulder down and in, and so you'll see them use their legs, and then they're driving.

That's how they're unleashing, and they're using all of the kinetic chain and sequence.

And so, again, so you have it from an instructional standpoint, and you have it from a biomechanics standpoint.

On top of that, when you're in a more neutral position, it's much easier for you to be able to turn your body.

If you get really rounded, it's very, very difficult for you to be able to complete a turn.

And so there's a good video on the website that I don't think is mentioned in here.

The golf backswing, actually it's in the previous slides where Chuck's sitting on top of a menace.

Golf backswing chair drill.

Yeah, the golf backswing chair drill.

It's a great video for you to be able to get your shoulders in a correct position.

And feel the proper rotation with your core.

Right, exactly.

So hopefully that long -winded answer did the trick for you.

Sometimes that can be long-winded.

All right, so I struggle with how much backswing we learned is rotating torso and how much of it is hip going back.

What is the proper ratio?

Good question, Kevin.

We want 35 to 45 degrees of hip rotation going back, and we want at least 90 of the shoulders.

You're going to basically have to figure that ratio out based off of how much mobility you have in your upper half.

The more separation you can create between the two, the better off.

Stretch there helps get things moving back over to the inside sooner, but there is a little bit of a window as far as the hips are turning.

And I think that's one of the topics you want to touch base on today.

That kind of saw a little bit more than I did over the last few days when we're doing reviews, so we'll definitely touch base on that.

Get that 100 ironed out.

So how do we determine how far we should be from the ball at our setup?

Jim, you're going to be in a different amount of space depending on the length of the club.

But your setup is virtually never going to change.

The only thing that changes in your setup position is your spine angle.

very, very solidly from one cup to the next.

And it's almost immeasurable because if you have, what do you have in your hands?

A seven iron?

Eight iron?

So if he has an eight iron in his hands, he goes ahead and has his hands and arms hanging freely from his shoulder line that's neutral.

Go ahead and put both hands on it.

So his hands and arms are hanging freely from his shoulders.

If I put a three iron in his hands, you're going to see that his spine would have to move just a little bit vertically to still have a cup soldered behind the golf ball.

So that's the only change.

The the short answer to this whole situation is that we want you to have your hands and your arms hanging down from your shoulder line.

And that's the space that you'll establish, um, between you and the golf ball.

Make sense.

So I'm six, three.

Does that mean I'll bend more at the waist?

Sure, so it's also going to be dependent on how the how long your torso is.

But you want to make sure that.

When you get yourself over the golf ball, there's a couple things that you're looking for.

Number one, you gotta be able to see the golf ball right, and number two.

When you set up.

You've got to hinge enough to where, when your hands and arms are hanging freely, that you've got the club sold in behind the golf ball as well.

Okay, that's another good way to be able to think about it, right?

And and the thing is that you just want to shy away from, because you know what we mentioned in session number one.

When you are a little bit taller, I mean, depending on light, length, force, the length, you still want to try to shy away from getting too much knee bend.

Like this, because you're not going to be able to move efficiently.

So I'd always try to play around a little bit more with the hinge before you start adding a ton of flexion.

Because that's just going to require a lot more manipulations.

Some really good questions coming in.

So Arthur says, how does the necktie drill work for these back swing concepts?

So the necktie drill is a very, very good visual and a simple little drill that you can set up to help you maintain access to them.

So when you set up at a dress and you're turning your body over to your right side, so you're going to see Craig has a little bit of axis tilt, but if you notice here, as he gets up finishing his backswing, he's got a little bit of tilt here.

Now, if he had a necktie on, what you would notice is the necktie would be hanging off of him freely.

It wouldn't be drooped across his chest if he was in reverse pivot territory.

Okay, so that's what the necktie is good for.

It's a good reference for people that have a hard time understanding what your torso should feel like when you move off the ball better.

Typically speaking, if you set up with a little bit of tilt, And you move in the order that Craig and I outlined for you over on Tuesday.

Where you push it in the right ankle, make sure you maintain that right knee flex, and then you turn your body by pulling the right shoulder back.

If you keep your hips stable, you don't have a whole lot of over rotation to them.

Then you're going to see that you don't even need the next hydro unless you turn radically steep or something of that nature.

But those are very, very few and far between.

Okay, so good questions, all right?

So I think we've got everybody seated and I think we're going to go ahead and get started now.

So because I know that we have the U .

S.

open on today, I know that probably you guys want to Go Watch that stuff and have us rambling at you for two.

two and a half hours.

But we've got a big day for you.

Today is the hardest move in the golf swing course, and that's transition.

This is on a scale from 1 to 10.

It's like a 15 because the hips are going to be doing a lot here.

The hips are going to be shifting.

They're going to be unwinding.

They're going to be dropping.

And it's imperative that you guys have a very simple list of checkpoints to be able to make this movement happen.

On top of what we're going to be teaching you with the legs is that there's going to be some stuff that's happening with your upper body.

And this is one of the things that people struggle with from boot camp to boot camp because you're afraid to move.

And that's not your fault, okay?

Well, it kind of is, but it's mostly not your fault.

The reason for that is because we've always been taught to stay really, really centered.

We're afraid to move.

But in fact, lateral movement does take place in the golf swing.

You'll see that if we had still images of Chuck or even when Tiger was in his heyday and he was moving, nobody would ever say Tiger.

was a slider in his belt swing by any means.

They always said he was very rotational.

But we have still images of Tiger working from the top of his back swing to an impact position.

And you can see that he shifts almost the entire width of his pelvis.

I think about that.

That's a very, very big bone structure right here that you're moving.

So it's a lot of movement.

And so that's why people tend to struggle with this because it might feel pretty foreign to you.

But when we get this, when we get all of a sudden done today, you're going to feel like you know how to unload your belt swing properly and get yourself set up for post -up, which is the fun part.

Right, and that's the thing that's really weird, because that movement that Chris is talking about.

You're gonna shift roughly six to eight inches right there, but it's all, I mean.

And when?

Until you start growing lines and stuff, it's almost kind of looks like you're not moving at all, but to you, it feels massive.

You may feel like you're moving all over the place and you look at it on camera, it's like, Oh, I'm only going from here to here.

It's crazy how your feel kind of burns you off with weight shift.

That when you barely move, you're like, oh, God, I've moved way too much.

You're still not even moving enough.

Yeah, it's all part of your vestibular process and part of proprioception as well.

So it's fascinating that the brain will process the way if your eyes move an inch to an inch and a half.

It feels like to me and Greg, and we've done this for a long time, that you're moving 35 or 40 inches off the golf ball.

It's a long, it feels like a lot of movement.

But you can't be afraid to move.

It's just like any other hitting or throwing sport.

We're trying to make your body move the most efficient way possible.

And we're trying to make it into the safest way possible as well.

We're trying to put you in the positions that are going to help you protect and preserve your critical joints like your hip, your knee, your back.

And so that's why we've got to get you to move now from this nice loaded up trail side that you have all the way back over onto your lead side.

Okay, so before we get into that, I'm going to answer these two questions, and then we're going to go ahead and talk about some of the faults that we saw throughout the week, and then we're going to get into the movements.

And actually, we'll do a little recap.

Maybe we'll do a little interactive workout with people.

I think that's a good idea.

Yeah, get them awake, get them alive, whatever.

Yeah, so the last two questions here.

So are arms hanging mutual, hands under the chin?

So the end of your right hand, if you were to drop a line straight down underneath your chin, the end of the right hand is typically going to be underneath that.

Okay, so that's a good kind of reference point or line that you can use.

I'm going to just hang this down here for you.

So if I draw the line down underneath his chin, you can see that the end of the right hand is pretty close.

That's what you're looking for, okay?

So very good question there.

Should the upper arms be compressed against the side of the chest?

So no, you don't want the upper arms pressed against the side of the chest.

You want your shoulders to be in neutral, and you want your arms to hang freely off of your shoulders.

If you feel like they're pressed against your chest, You're going to make it very hard for you to be able to function the hands and arms properly.

Some of you might feel a little bit of connection up here, at the very tippy top of your um, where your bicep and your chest knee just a little bit there.

But you don't want to have things pushed together down here because that's going to help you.

Well, that's not going to help you with width by any means, okay?

And that's one of the things you have to remember is that the golf swing is just not rotation and leverage, there's also width.

And width.

Is going to help us be able to move the golf program at really high rates of speed and almost out of free sense, right?

So that's that's a good thing for us, okay?

So, without further ado, if you guys can just kind of hang on to your questions till the end, unless something really pressing comes up through the session that you guys need to ask.

Because we do, I do talk a hundred dollars an hour, and sometimes people are like, What the heck did you just say I get it all right?

So again, gameplay is we're going to do a little bit of a fault fix, which people tend to like.

So we're going to talk a little about what we saw through the swimming process this week.

And then we are going to do an interactive workout.

So we're just going to do in five or ten breaths, we're doing our setup and our, uh, our body turns.

And then we're going to get right into the nuts and bolts today.

And when we get into this, we want to make sure everybody has a very clear head as to what we're doing before you guys get out of here.

So, as always, Craig and I will stick around at the end, answer some questions.

Um, and hopefully by the end of today's session, into next Tuesday, you guys will be able to start working through your backswing and transition with some pretty good EDS here.

All right, so excited to bring you the hardest movement of all swing.

Yeah, because this is, I mean, when people or players really struggle, this is where it happens.

Some people can master the backswing, some people can master getting over here.

It's how do you blend getting to the ball from the top of the backswing?

That's the glue for everything.

If you really get a good transition.

There's so many things that are on autopilot from there.

It just makes it really fun.

Right, exactly.

Okay, so the fault that I saw this week is not necessarily what I would consider a common one, but I did see it a couple times, so I do want to address it.

And this kind of goes back in hand with the idea of maintaining true balance in it also.

And I don't think we touched base with true balance very much in the first session, so we will now.

So for those of you that don't understand anatomic true balance, if you were to stand up wherever you're listening to us ramble at you.

And you were to go ahead and start leaning over your toes and then rocking over your heels so you can see Craig here leaning over his toes, walking over his heels.

Okay, and if you were to close your eyes and then you were to come to rest where you felt like you were most balanced?

You could sit there all day long and have a conversation with me.

What you're going to feel is a bulk of your weight is going to be right underneath your ankle joints.

Now, if I were to ask Craig a question here, where do you feel weight in your feet?

well, Craig, where do you feel weight in your feet?

But now, one of the things that he's probably not explaining to us, because it's at a subconscious level, is that he's still going to feel his foot sprint out to the ground.

You're going to feel a little bit of pressure up in the ball, your foot, a little bit pressure up in the toe.

You're going to feel the whole foot, but you're going to feel the bulk of your mass underneath that ankle joint.

And so it's really critical that you understand that if the weight starts to move to the forward part of the foot, let's just say up to the ball of the foot or up to the toe.

When you're trying to maintain knee flex with your weight in this position, okay, because you, you did hear us talk about trying to maintain knee flex there.

If you try to put your weight to the forward part of the foot and you do this, what you're now changing is your central balancing pivot joint down to your knee.

Again, we talked a little bit about that on Tuesday, the importance of understanding that the knee is not designed to rotate.

If you do that for long enough, you're going to blow your knee up, and you're going to be in one of those things called a hug around.

For those of you that don't know what a hug around is, that's one of those carts that you can go to the grocery store, and you can get a key, and you can ride it in that cart going up and down your aisles in your cankits.

We don't want you to be in a hug around.

So remember, don't let your weight go to the forward part of the foot as your starting load.

It's very easy to do this.

Now, one of the main mistakes that we'll see students do is that they sit with their weight too far back in their heels, right?

And when you sit with your weight too far back in your heels, you have to remember your brain is really good about a couple things in this life.

Number one, it doesn't want you to hurt yourself.

Number two, it doesn't want you to fall over.

And so Craig, if you set up with your weight all the way back to your heels, okay, when you're sitting up really, really strong to the trail side of the foot here, like you can see his toes up off the ground.

Now when he starts moving, he starts turning his body over his right side.

Okay, typically, what's going to happen is is the brain doesn't want you to fall over in this direction.

So it's going to start moving your weight to the forward part of the foot for you to keep you upright.

So don't set up because you're concerned about getting to the forward part of the foot.

Or now you have all your weight to your heels.

You want to make sure that you're anatomically in your true balance point right from the get-go.

Okay, this is where you're most stable.

This is where you're going to be able to maintain a good solid foundation, our good solid, like we call it, anchor to the ground base as you move through the galswing.

Okay, so that was.

The one part that I wanted to just comment on was that I did see some people move to the forward part of their feet as they were starting to load their galswing up.

And that's dangerous, okay, that makes it harder for you to be able to maintain flex.

I know Craig saw a pretty serious issue that he wants to address.

So, yeah, I saw.

The one thing that kind of stuck out to me is.

We have the laser beam drills on the side and we talk about maintaining flexion and things of that nature.

But our goal right here is to try to get a full shoulder rotation.

Now.

What I want to show you?

If I were to stand right here and not allow my hips to turn it off, this is about as far as I can make a shoulder rotation.

So how am I going to finish this motion?

To get a full back swing, I'm just going to allow my hip to rotate a little bit.

So I don't want everybody to kind of get so glued that they're like, all right.

I'm going to get this massive separation, I'm going to get this big X factor, because that's what Jim McClain told me to do.

I'm going to get a lot of power when I get up here, I can't finish my rotation without allowing for a little bit of hip.

If you lose a little bit of right knee flexion, no worries.

But you need to allow for the hip to move to finish your shoulder rotation.

Don't be kind of complacent and be like, okay, well, I got seven degrees of shoulder rotation.

I'll just call it a day there.

No, go ahead and get the full shoulder rotation.

by allowing your hip.

I saw some people just getting a little bit too glued, a little bit too tight, and hip rotation isn't a bad thing.

Yeah, huge point there, and that's where, when we were helping Chuck write the program, this is where we spent a lot of time talking about, because we saw a bulk of the issues with students, as they were saying in some interviews, where their hips were over-rotated, and then it almost became taboo around the website to have your hips rotate, but in fact, we still want them to rotate, and so that's why.

You got to kind of understand there's a balance point between this.

And so what Craig is telling you here is is you can allow your right hip to free up a little bit and get yourself to finish off your turn.

Don't be so restricted.

For those of you that want to put an alignment stick down and try to figure out you know how much your hips are rotating.

Then you can put an alignment stick down on your foot, on your foot line here, okay?

And then as you go ahead and you turn your body, you can put another alignment stick or belt.

Flip on here on your hip line.

And you can just look down at the line to see if you're close to being right around a 45 degree angle, If you're anything more than that, then you would want to restrict it a little bit.

If you're noticing that you're not at 45 degrees, you're a little bit tight there, and you haven't finished off a full turn, then allow it to rotate back a little bit further.

It'll feel nice.

It'll feel like you're starting to load into that right side.

It'll feel a little bit more freed up.

We don't want you to feel so restricted to the point where you can't move.

You need to have some freedom to move.

It's all going to be dependent on what you have to offer your muscle.

Those are the two things.

When we get to Tuesday, you're going to notice that.

This section of the event or this section of the of.

The webinar is probably going to be a little bit longer because we want to discuss a lot of the common faults we saw.

So my hat's off to you guys, I'm going to go ahead, I'll do it right now, I'll clap for you guys.

Because this was seven boot camp number seven.

And we typically see a, uh, a crap ton of faults, okay, we're seeing an array of.

I was trying to choose my words wisely because we are a camera, right?

So we see a very, very large amount of faults.

And we'll spend 20 minutes or so going through this stuff.

So, um, my hat's off to you guys, you guys did a remarkable job, so hopefully you guys were able to use the stuff that we gave you as far as information is concerned for those of you that if we didn't get to see.

And you were able to get this, this movement down and you were able to start doing what it was like to load your backswing up properly.

So good stuff, all right, so let's go interactive workout.

So those of you guys at home that want to stand up and get warmed up with us, by all means, please do so.

That's what boot camp's all about.

So, two inches outside of neutral joint alignment, don't be afraid to get two inches outside.

So a lot of people that were maybe an inch inch and a half or so get you get your little step out here.

Okay, you're going to be, um, into a ballpark where you're going to have the ability to be able to be balanced and shift your weight a little bit here.

Okay, so you're going to be two inches outside of neutral, you're going to go ahead and have your arms across your shoulders.

Okay, you're going to hinge forward from your hips, so your butt's going to go back and your chest is going to go over the mouth ball.

You're keeping your legs locked out straight first, okay, Once you get yourself over the ball, where you can see it, you feel your weight kind of shift all the way back to your extreme heel, then you just soften the knees.

And when you soften your knees, you're going to feel the weight go right back underneath that ankle joint, and you're going to feel very, very stable to the ground, okay?

Now, what you want to make sure you have here is a little bit of access to it, okay?

So rather than taking the arms off the chest, you can just bump your hip towards the target just a little, tiny bit.

It's a nudge, a teeny, tiny nudge, okay, where your spine is just inside your lead knee.

So now we're all set up.

We're ready to rock and roll.

First move I'm talking to as a right-handed golfer today, so I'm not going to keep fumbling around.

So we're going to take the right ankle, we're going to push it in the ground, okay, and then we're going to take the right shoulder and pull back behind the head.

Okay, now your job is to make sure that you feel that weight stay underneath the ankle joint.

You're trying your best to be able to maintain some flex in that right knee, you're pulling that right shoulder as far back behind your head as you possibly can.

If you're looking at it from a face-on perspective in the mirror, you're trying to see this shoulder on this side of your head.

Got it, so that's one rep.

All right, so let's go ahead.

You're going to start hearing my keywords like stance, width, hinge, if you get over it.

You're going to see that.

I'm going to skip some of these things now, and you're going to see that I'm talking to you a little bit faster, okay?

So stance width two inches outside of neutral, we're hinged, getting over the golf ball, got a little bit of axis tilt.

We're going to go ahead and push the right ankle on the ground, pull the right shoulder back.

Good, now, make sure you reset yourself, give yourself, you know, the chance to be able to get your setup 100 perfect.

A lot of times when people do the rep straining that Craig talked about on Tuesday, they started doing this.

And this is not feeding your brain anything, this is just making.

This is actually, um, decreasing your calorie count for the day.

So congratulations on that.

Okay, you need to feed your brain, right?

Your brain wants to know what it's doing and how it's doing it correctly.

So the people that will get the best success for this stuff will not be the ones that tell us that they're mentally fried at the end of the session, I'm sorry, will not be the ones that are physically proud, but the ones that are mentally fried again.

Sorry, I messed that one up you, you should be mentally fried when you're working on something new.

You're putting your brain into this deep state, learning stuff here, okay?

So push the right ankle on the ground, hold the right shoulder back.

Perfect.

Okay, do one more face on.

We'll switch down the line.

Perfect.

All right, so now let's switch down the line.

So I'm going to go through these key points with you.

So we're going to make sure that we're two inches outside of neutral.

We're going to keep our legs locked out straight.

We're going to hinge forward so the weight goes to the heels, and then you're going to soften the knees just a little bit.

You want the back of the knee to be directly over the center of the ankle.

Not too much knee flex where you're sitting way down on your knees.

You've got your butt tucked underneath you.

That's going to make it very hard for you to move dynamically.

Very common mistake that we see from the bulk of the people on the website is they just set up with too much knee flex.

It makes it hard for you to move.

Okay, so you want the back of the knee over the center of the ankle.

It's way down underneath your ankle joints.

All right, now what we're going to do is we're going to take that right ankle.

We're going to push it in the ground.

Pull that right shoulder back behind your head.

You can see that Craig's doing his best to be able to maintain as much flex as he can.

It might straighten just a little bit, perfectly fine.

That's allowing the hip to have a little bit of mobility in it.

It's freeing it up.

You can see that he's got good separation between his hip line and his shoulder line.

Now, one of the things I also want you to take note of is that his shoulder line is perpendicular to his spine as it was at a dress, okay?

So the right shoulder is going to move up, and the left shoulder moves down in relation to his spine.

Okay, so go ahead.

Push the right ankle on the ground.

Take that right shoulder, pull it up behind the head.

You can see here, shoulder line is perpendicular to his spine.

Okay, push that right ankle on the ground.

pull that right shoulder up, left shoulder down.

okay, good, right ankle on the ground, right shoulder up, left shoulder down.

Perfect.

Let's do one more perfect.

Okay, so piece of cake, right?

Yeah, are you sweating?

Yeah, a little bit, all right.

So Kobe got me a little bit out of fitness.

Oh man, I don't want to talk about it right now.

So we'll play that one for a rainy day, all right.

So now we've got you guys warmed up, we're going to start talking about the move back over to your lead side, so this is where you guys can have a seat.

You're going to listen to us talk for quite a few minutes here and then we are going to demonstrate.

As we go through these movements, we're going to talk about some of the faults that we're going to see, uh, throughout this week.

And then we're going to really get you guys back up out of your chairs and start trying to refine these movements with you.

Okay, now, if you don't have this, um, this PDF that we're pointing out up here, then make sure you let us know in the chat at the end of the session.

We'll make sure that you have this when you're done.

Okay, really important that you have this available to you because this has your reference videos.

This has some images you're going to be able to match yourself up with these images.

Or you can go back and re-watch the video that you're watching here today.

Um, because you'll have access to that, so, all right, so the first important checkpoint, okay, that we have listed up here, and this is the most important, is that your shoulders are going to remain closed, or as closed as you possibly can.

And they're going to get turned by the hips in the first move in transition, and actually, they're going to be turned by your legs the entire way through.

Your golf swing, okay, that's what we want you to understand is that your shoulders are 1000 going to be turned by your hips.

Okay, 1001 now we're going to demonstrate how to do 1002 all this stuff properly.

Now.

Your job at 1003 your golf swing is to feel like your 1004 upper body stays as wound as you possibly 1005 can.

You're going to hear us talk about 1006 keeping your back to the target, you're 1007 going to hear us talk about keeping your 1008 left shoulder low and your right shoulder 1009 up.

But this is one of the most important 1010 parts of your transition move.

It's not 1011 just necessarily what we're doing with 1012 our legs, but it's what you won't be 1013 doing with your body.

We don't want your 1014 upper body to unwind too quickly.

Because 1015 what you're going to be doing is is, 1016 you're going to start shifting your swing 1017 plane, you're going to start moving your 1018 hands and your arms too far out front of 1019 your body.

You're going to start throwing 1020 the club out away from you, and you're 1021 going to make it impossible for you to be 1022 able to maintain lag or preserve lag down 1023 in the hitting area, which is your most 1024 critical angle for speed.

And so it is 1025 imperative that when you do this, that 1026 you focus on keeping your upper body as 1027 loud as you possibly can.

That's why we 1028 listed as number one now, 1029 Checkpoint number two.

1030 How are we going to get there?

Very, very 1031 common term that you're going to hear us 1032 use on the website is squat to square.

1033 This squat move can be very much abused 1034 in the grand scheme of things.

We want to 1035 think about your squat move as being a 1036 subtle squat.

You're not trying to sit 1037 way down to where your ass is touching 1038 the ground.

You're just trying to 1039 increase your knee flex just a little 1040 bit.

When you make this sort of squat 1041 move, again, you're going to feel a 1042 little increase in knee flex, but you're 1043 also going to focus on your butt doing 1044 what?

Well, you're going to focus on 1045 feeling like it's going back a little 1046 bit, right?

You don't want to squat and 1047 have your butt tuck underneath you, you 1048 want to squat and feel like your butt 1049 goes back just a little tiny bit.

And 1050 what's that going to do for us?

Well, 1051 that's going to help you with that line 1052 you hear us talk about on the website so 1053 much, it's tush line.

Okay?

So when you 1054 make this squat move, what we're going to 1055 be looking for is perfectly dynamic move.

1056 I don't know if that's saying, right, 1057 perfect dynamic movement.

From the hips, 1058 okay, remember what I talked about on 1059 Tuesdays that the hips are not 1060 doing one or the other.

They're not just 1061 shifting, they're not just unwinding.

So 1062 you're going to look for a balance 1063 between the two.

We're going to give you 1064 those specific checkpoints here in a 1065 second.

How much weight do we want to 1066 have underneath our lead ankle?

Well, 1067 we're going to get you upwards of almost 1068 60% of your weight of your total body 1069 mass underneath that left ankle when you 1070 complete the move, right?

So you're going 1071 to have your hips and knees come back to 1072 almost a virtually square position.

1073 You're going to have a bulk of your 1074 weight moving underneath that lead ankle, 1075 and you're going to make sure that your 1076 upper body is closed as much as you 1077 possibly can.

1078 Number three.

Head remains back in behind 1079 the golf ball.

You're going to have the 1080 appearance when you make this first move 1081 over to the inside.

That your head is 1082 going to come slightly in front of where 1083 it was at your address position.

Now, 1084 let's talk about that for a second.

So if 1085 Craig were to go to his address position 1086 now, and he turns his body over his right 1087 leg, what do you notice about his head 1088 and his chest?

1089 Well, you can see that it's moved off the 1090 ball.

When he makes his move in 1091 transition, this has to come along with 1092 it.

If it doesn't, you've now hung back.

1093 and this is the death move that Craig and 1094 I sit at our computers all day long 1095 trying to fix people.

1096 You need to allow your upper body to 1097 move.

This is going back to what I was 1098 telling you at the start of today's 1099 session.

Is going to be the most 1100 uncomfortable move that you have in your 1101 head.

Because a lot of times, people are 1102 afraid to do this because they're like, 1103 well, Chris, that feels like a slide.

1104 That feels like a slide.

But this is 1105 getting you unloaded.

Remember, your legs 1106 bear a lot of mass and so does your upper 1107 body.

If you just take your hips and you 1108 shift them left and you leave your upper 1109 body back, you're leaving a lot of weight 1110 over on that right side of the body.

So 1111 you're going to see on camera or in the 1112 mirror that your head is going to come 1113 back into its original position.

Or maybe 1114 even slightly in front of where it goes.

1115 Don't worry if you see it come slightly 1116 in front.

We'll be able to combat that 1117 off with the post-it move and being able 1118 to add some secondary access to hold the 1119 head back in position.

And I'll speak for 1120 myself, But I'd rather see you guys error 1121 on the side of getting too far over to 1122 your left side.

When you first start 1123 this, because it's far easier for us to 1124 tone back.

Than it is for us to be able 1125 to slowly add more and more in there, so 1126 keep that in mind.

So if you're going to 1127 be using the swing review process, don't 1128 be afraid to err on the side of getting 1129 over to there.

Okay, we're going to give 1130 you some key words and some key thoughts 1131 to be able to get you over there just a 1132 moment here, okay?

So now, when you make 1133 this, move over to your lead side.

A good 1134 way to kind of think about where your 1135 shoulders are supposed to be is you're 1136 going to be thinking about your 1137 shoulders.

If you're looking at it from a 1138 downline perspective, you can see that 1139 when he finishes off his move here, 1140 You can see that the logo on his chest is 1141 still pointing back to you at home.

Now, 1142 if he allowed his shoulders to unwind too 1143 quickly, you can see that you wouldn't be 1144 able to see any part of his logo.

So 1145 you're trying from a down the line 1146 perspective to keep this logo pointed 1147 back to the camera or to your mirror.

So 1148 that's a good quick little checkpoint.

1149 You're going to see that up here in the 1150 actual visuals that we give you.

Okay, so 1151 now let's start demonstrating how we want 1152 you to move.

Is there anything you need 1153 to add there?

No, I think that's pretty 1154 much covered.

I mean, the main thing that 1155 I usually see is with the head.

I know we 1156 have the sway drill, I know we have tons 1157 of drills on the sway, we even talked 1158 about that in the first session.

For you 1159 to shift weight efficiently, your head's 1160 going to have to move a little bit.

And 1161 if you go and look at Tour pros, the best 1162 guys, you're never going to see their 1163 head just stay perfectly still, it's okay 1164 for it to have a little bit of room to 1165 move.

Okay, perfect.

So what we're going 1166 to do is.

We're going to teach you how to 1167 make the squat move look perfect from a 1168 face-on perspective.

1169 And then we're going to teach you how to 1170 make the squat move look perfect from a 1171 downline perspective.

Okay, so we're 1172 going to first load over to our right 1173 ankle, so we're going to push right ankle 1174 on the ground, we're going to turn our 1175 body now when we squat to square.

The 1176 focus point here is to allow the hips to 1177 start to externally rotate, so this lead 1178 knee is going to begin to externally 1179 rotate.

And for those of you anatomic 1180 buffs at hallmark or anatomy buffs, and 1181 those of those of you that are doctors.

1182 This actual movement is called internal 1183 femur rotation.

We call it external leg 1184 rotation to make it simpler for people to 1185 understand at home.

So you're going to 1186 see that this left hip and this left leg 1187 begin to externally rotate.

Now, 1188 under no circumstance does this knee go 1189 outside of neutral joint alignment.

This 1190 is a very, very critical piece for you to 1191 understand.

Now, when we start this 1192 external rotation, what you're also going 1193 to feel is a little tiny bit of an 1194 increase in your knee flex.

You're going 1195 to start feeling like you're sitting down 1196 over onto your left ankle.

The main goal 1197 here when this transition is complete, 1198 aside from what your shoulder line is 1199 doing, is to feel about 60%, and some of 1200 you will probably feel even a little bit 1201 more than that, 60% of your total body 1202 mass underneath your left ankle.

You just 1203 went upwards of 85 to 90 over underneath 1204 your right ankle, all the way to about 60 1205 % of your weight underneath your lead 1206 ankle.

It's happening very, very quickly, 1207 so just keep that in mind.

1208 What you're going to be doing to 1209 facilitate this move is you're taking 1210 your lead leg.

You're beginning to 1211 externally rotate and you're beginning to 1212 sit down a little bit, and you're going 1213 to feel like your left butt kind of sits 1214 back in a chair.

Okay, that's a good way 1215 for you to kind of think about the 1216 movement, so it's extra rotation and sit 1217 down onto that left ankle.

Okay, so think 1218 about it.

Pretty simple, right?

All you 1219 got to do is just take that left leg 1220 externally, rotate it and sit down, 1221 that's it.

That's your transition and 1222 everything that's happening in.

The upper 1223 body should be following the water, it 1224 should be a back seat passenger.

Now, for 1225 those of you that notice that your head 1226 really wants to kind of stay put.

1227 You're going to have to allow your upper 1228 body to feel like it's falling or 1229 falling, as we would say, over onto this 1230 left side when you make this move.

You're 1231 going to have to feel like your upper 1232 body is helping assist this kind of sit 1233 move on to that left leg.

You're going to 1234 externally rotate the lead leg, and 1235 you're going to feel like your upper body 1236 is falling over onto this side.

1237 Here's a really simple focus point that 1238 Craig and I both like to use is left 1239 shoulder down, 1240 right shoulder up.

Think about this.

If 1241 you were to keep your left shoulder as 1242 low as you possibly could, If you were to 1243 externally rotate this lead hip and you 1244 were to sit down on that left ankle 1245 simultaneously, 1246 what does that left shoulder down 1247 mentality give you?

Well, it gives you 1248 shoulder line that's still closed.

You're 1249 looking for your shoulder line to be 1250 about 45 degrees closed at this point.

1251 That's really the three big keys that you 1252 have to think about in order to be able 1253 to produce.

This.

Movement is a little 1254 bit of external rotation of the lead leg, 1255 a little bit of sit move over to that 1256 lead side, and a little bit of falling 1257 from your upper half to help increase the 1258 pressure on that left ankle.

1259 And that's a really good visual, and I 1260 just want to, kind of, you know, go 1261 through that one a lot because it's 1262 something that we use a ton.

If you see 1263 when I start to make my motion right 1264 here, you can see that this club's still 1265 pointing down, which is indicating.

My 1266 lead shoulder staying down, my trail 1267 shoulder staying higher.

Now watch what 1268 happens if I start to make this same move 1269 and I let this side of the club come up 1270 all right.

So now I've let my lead 1271 shoulder get higher, my trail shoulder 1272 get lower.

So look at where my head is 1273 now, my head's actually further back than 1274 where it was in the backswing.

And this 1275 is something, I mean, daily, that we see.

1276 I mean, I don't think there's been a day 1277 in my existence over the last 10 years at 1278 Rotary Swing that I haven't seen 1279 somebody.

Make that sort of movement.

1280 Okay, and again, it's not your fault, 1281 okay, it's probably just what you've been 1282 taught, or you're afraid to make that 1283 movement all right.

It feels like when 1284 Trey's moving his upper body, that inch, 1285 inch and a half or so, with his head 1286 coming back in that spot, it's going to 1287 feel like you're moving a long ways.

All 1288 right, this is what it feels like when, 1289 in the grand scheme of things, it feels 1290 like you're just kind of swinging over 1291 into that left leg.

So don't be afraid to 1292 allow the head and the chest to move a 1293 little bit, but you just don't want the 1294 shoulders to unwind.

We found that 1295 through the swing of your process and 1296 working with student after student after 1297 student.

That the best way for you to be 1298 able to encompass this movement is those 1299 three key pieces being done together.

So 1300 it's a little extra rotation of that lead 1301 knee and that lead leg.

1302 It's increasing your knee flex, your 1303 pressure, and as you're simultaneously 1304 allowing your upper body to fall onto 1305 that left ankle, you've now completed the 1306 transition.

Now, What I'd like to do is 1307 I'd like to show you guys what it looks 1308 like from a down-the-line perspective, so 1309 that you guys can see the dynamic 1310 movement of the hips.

So when he's up 1311 into his backswing here, you've loaded 1312 underneath his right ankle.

When he 1313 begins to allow this left leg to 1314 externally rotate, what you're going to 1315 notice is that the lateral hip starts to 1316 rotate forward.

So you see the hips 1317 starting to unwind, and when he completes 1318 the move, His hips are virtually back to 1319 a square position as they were in a 1320 dress.

It's okay if you see them three, 1321 four, five degrees close.

It's okay.

We 1322 actually have that up here on the slides 1323 where you can see a little bit of chest 1324 lead lead.

Perfectly fine.

You just want 1325 to make sure that you're focusing on your 1326 left leg externally rotating, a little 1327 increase of knee flex, feeling like your 1328 butt kind of goes back.

You don't even 1329 have to think about that one.

If you just 1330 focus on your upper body kind of sitting 1331 back on that left ankle, you're cooking.

1332 Okay, that's the move.

Piece of cake.

1333 Right, so a lot of you will struggle with 1334 this move because you'll.

You've looked 1335 at a lot of videos, you've watched all of 1336 our transition videos.

You try to make up 1337 your own movements.

You've watched Chuck 1338 on camera and you see that, oh, it looks 1339 so simple, in fact, it really is simple 1340 when it's all said and done.

If you 1341 follow these three key pools.

And the 1342 reason why we use these three points is 1343 because we've seen it right.

We know this 1344 works, so make it simple on yourself, 1345 make yourself externally, rotate your 1346 lead leg, 1347 increase the knee flex just a little bit 1348 when you're doing it and just allow your 1349 upper body to fall back onto that left 1350 ankle.

And you're done and that's it.

And 1351 you just do that until you eat, sleep and 1352 breathe it for the next three days.

Okay, 1353 and then you start trying to tie the 1354 backs and stuff in together right now 1355 again.

There are some key points here 1356 that you can focus on with, like the left 1357 shoulder staying down.

You can focus on 1358 keeping your back to the target, whatever 1359 one you choose.

We're looking for a 1360 couple of things here.

Number one, your 1361 weight better be underneath your left 1362 ankle.

60.

Okay, We're looking for the 1363 hips and knees to be closely back to a 1364 square position, 1365 okay?

And we're looking for your shoulder 1366 line to be closed, 45 degrees closed, 1367 okay?

And so you can see here that the 1368 shoulders are still – sorry, the left pec 1369 is still facing back to you guys at home, 1370 okay?

So that's where you're trying to 1371 get to.

Now, the map in which we want you 1372 to use is those focus points that we just 1373 gave you.

Again, I'm going to keep 1374 pushing that into your brain because 1375 that's the best way to make this movement 1376 happen.

1377 Anything else to be missing?

No, Because, 1378 I mean, that combines the best of both 1379 worlds.

What we're, what we're gonna see, 1380 and I know we're gonna see it, is that 1381 people get locked onto one part.

They 1382 either get here and they just move 1383 laterally.

Now, what have I done right 1384 here?

1385 I've done a closed hip-slide.

I forgot 1386 about the rotational part.

The other 1387 thing that we're gonna see is that people 1388 get here and then they just rotate.

When 1389 they forget, they forgot about the 1390 lateral motion.

Remember that you're 1391 moving two different ways here.

It's 1392 laterally and rotationally and that's 1393 gonna be what we see as I have faith in 1394 this group, but I know we're going to see 1395 somebody in between now and Tuesday 1396 that's going to come back and be like, 1397 all right, Craig, I got my weight to the 1398 left side.

I'm like, 1399 yeah, but what about your hips?

Your belt 1400 buckle's still pointed back this way.

1401 Don't be afraid to move.

It's okay 1402 because they've got to do both.

They've 1403 got to shift and they've got to rotate.

1404 Exactly.

And so let's talk a little bit 1405 further about the closed hips line.

1406 Because that's going to be a common term 1407 that you're going to hear us use around 1408 the website.

And so when you see Craig 1409 load up his back swing here, you're going 1410 to see that his hips have closed off.

1411 Now, when he starts to shift back over to 1412 his lead side, what you're going to 1413 notice is that his hips aren't going to 1414 want to rotate.

This is a very dangerous 1415 move.

Now, for those of you that have 1416 seen this move in your bell swing or you 1417 see it when you're drilling, 1418 Craig, where do you feel the weight in 1419 your left foot right now?

All of his 1420 weight is going to the forward part of 1421 his foot.

Now, go back and rewind what we 1422 just said and listen to what I've said to 1423 you for the last 15 to 20 minutes.

Think 1424 about where we just wanted your weight to 1425 move.

If you focus on your weight moving 1426 towards your ankle, Then your hips have 1427 to open back up, they have to go from a 1428 closed position and they have to start 1429 unwinding.

I promise you, okay, it's 1430 very, it's.

It's very unlikely that you 1431 can move your weight to your ankle 1432 without your hips.

Unwind.

Okay, so for 1433 those of you that have ever questioned if 1434 I have a closed hip slide or not, you 1435 won't have it anymore.

If you focus on 1436 where your weight goes, if it goes to the 1437 forward part of the foot, then you know 1438 damn well that you slid over onto that 1439 side.

And it can happen very, very 1440 quickly in your downswing because you can 1441 start sliding and then you can start 1442 trying to play catch up with your hips.

1443 And that's not going to have a good 1444 balance of this dynamic movement that 1445 we're talking about here.

Think about 1446 what we're giving you as a balance, okay?

1447 Because amateur golfers always tend to 1448 struggle with having way too much 1449 rotation or way too much lateral 1450 movement.

And so by taking and combining 1451 these three movements for external 1452 rotation of the lead leg, feel like 1453 you're kind of sitting or increasing that 1454 knee flex onto that left ankle, and just 1455 allowing your upper body to kind of fall 1456 onto that left side.

Or left shoulder 1457 down, whatever you prefer is the key to 1458 your success for this boot.

And so that 1459 that 15 that we talked about as far as 1460 being the difficulty level, has now 1461 become pretty simple.

PCK.

But if you 1462 don't have this down by Tuesday, then we 1463 can't get you to post up.

And post up is 1464 where the fun starts to happen.

This is 1465 where we got something different for you 1466 guys.

Boot camp number seven.

You guys 1467 are lucky people, we're going to give you 1468 guys a different way of instructing this 1469 now.

Because the fact that we've seen 1470 much more success out of this, this whole 1471 part of the process.

So 1472 This is what you're going to be working 1473 on, because you're going to be working on 1474 exactly these key points.

1475 Again, 1476 when you want to look at this extra 1477 rotation stuff going over to your lead 1478 side and this amount of shift, let's make 1479 it a little bit easier on yourself.

Focus 1480 on when that left knee begins to 1481 externally rotate, that you're not 1482 allowing it to move outside of neutral, 1483 that it's going to be very close to 1484 getting into neutral joint line.

1485 Up to the top of your swing, you're 1486 questioning about how far over the knee 1487 is going to be.

If I put this line 1488 straight up, you can see that his lead 1489 knee is almost fully into neutral.

So the 1490 center of the knee would be over the 1491 center of the ankle if that was full 1492 neutral joint alignment.

So go back over 1493 to your back swing.

1494 So externally rotate the lead leg and 1495 sit.

That's about the position that 1496 you're going to be moving into right 1497 there.

And now from there, you're setting 1498 yourself up to complete the move when we 1499 make our post-hirt move happen, and 1500 that's going to move the left hip and the 1501 left knee fully into neutral.

So a lot of 1502 people are going to ask, well, how much 1503 external rotation should I have?

Well, 1504 it's enough to be able to square the hips 1505 up, and it's enough to be able to keep 1506 the knee just inside of neutral.

A lot of 1507 people are going to ask, how much weight 1508 should I shift or how much hip movement 1509 should I have?

Again, You're going to 1510 allow your head and your chest to move 1511 back into position, and you're going to 1512 feel about 60% of your weight underneath 1513 your left ankle.

If you get that, then 1514 you're going to have this move exactly 1515 the way we want.

And we'd rather you air 1516 around this side of getting too much 1517 right now.

It's always going to be easier 1518 for us or you at home to tighten the 1519 screws versus have to put in a whole new 1520 move.

1521 Exactly.

So, piece of cake.

So now we're 1522 going to stand up.

We're going to have 1523 everybody at home.

We're going to do this 1524 move together.

Okay, we're going to be 1525 looking for a couple of Q words here that 1526 are going to help your brain hear us over 1527 and over again.

For the rest of today, 1528 Sunday and Monday, and then partially 1529 into Tuesday.

So that you can get these 1530 reps under your belt, so you're ready to 1531 start putting us all all this close-up 1532 stuff you have to.

Now.

There are going 1533 to be some of you that will be able to go 1534 into a backswing, into squat to square, 1535 all as one unit, pretty quickly.

Because 1536 some of you might have already done a lot 1537 of this stuff, or some of you already 1538 might have these movement patterns.

1539 Pretty close, great, that would be.

Your 1540 ideal goal is being able to blend those 1541 two together, 1542 If you don't, and you're still working 1543 slow and choppy, perfectly fine.

We're 1544 not calling you stupid.

We're not saying 1545 that you're never going to get this.

We'd 1546 rather have you work slow and get it 100% 1547 accurate, rather than you trying to do 1548 the movements dynamically.

In all as one 1549 piece and screwing the pooch.

Hands down.

1550 Because if you're screwing the pooch on 1551 this stuff, then why are you sitting here 1552 listening to us gabbing you anyways on 1553 Saturday?

You want to be perfect.

All 1554 right?

So take your time.

If we see you 1555 going slow and chunky, even when we add 1556 post-up, 1557 Perfectly fine.

We're going to be here.

1558 We're not just kicking you out the door 1559 when week number three is over.

We're 1560 going to continue to support you in this 1561 process.

We're going to continue to help 1562 you get this stuff up at full speed.

I 1563 can't emphasize that enough to a lot of 1564 these people at home that take your time.

1565 We're not expecting perfection.

1566 Well, actually, we are expecting 1567 perfection.

We're expecting perfection.

1568 We want you to work at your pace that you 1569 know is perfect.

That's the big one.

Go 1570 at the pace that you need to go at.

We're 1571 going to be meticulous about doing, but 1572 if you're meticulous, about how you do 1573 your reps.

I mean, if you are dieting and 1574 exercising or anybody that's, you know, 1575 successful somewhat in life, they follow 1576 a routine.

They don't go too far ahead.

1577 You don't try to bench 300 pounds right 1578 off the bat.

You start out with a weight 1579 that you can handle so that you can get 1580 the form right.

Then once you can start 1581 to do more reps and you can do it 1582 correctly and support it, you start to 1583 add more.

If you are chunking this up 1584 right now because this is the pace you 1585 can get it, we would more than like or 1586 more than be happy to see that.

All 1587 right, because we know that you're going 1588 to get it.

If you do it.

If you're just 1589 like, I got this, I can do this, you 1590 know, a million times.

Yeah, who won the 1591 race?

The tortoise or the hare?

Yeah, I 1592 like that one, I like that one, good one, 1593 all right.

So let's get to work.

So those 1594 of you at home want to stand up and work 1595 out with this awesome.

So we're going to 1596 go ahead and get into our setup position, 1597 we're not going to spend a whole lot of 1598 time going through setup right now.

1599 Because we should be in a pretty decent 1600 space after a warm-up.

But we are going 1601 to push our right ankle on the ground, 1602 we're going to take our right shoulder 1603 back now.

First move is you're going to 1604 start to feel this external rotation of 1605 this lead leg happen towards your lead 1606 side.

You're going to feel a little bit 1607 of an increase in knee flex, and you're 1608 going to feel the pressure increase onto 1609 that left ankle.

So you're going to feel 1610 your upper body kind of helping pressing 1611 down onto that left ankle.

Okay, so 1612 you're going to help squat to square.

1613 That's the whole move, right?

So you're 1614 going to hear me start to consolidate a 1615 lot of these words and put it into a 1616 squat to square format.

Okay, so now go 1617 ahead and back up to your right side.

Now 1618 you're going to go ahead and externally 1619 rotate the lead leg, sit down on that 1620 left ankle.

Feel about 60% of your weight 1621 underneath your left ankle.

Chest, 1622 shoulders should be closed, so your left 1623 shoulder should be down, and your right 1624 shoulder should still be up in the air, 1625 okay?

So this is from a face-on 1626 perspective.

So left shoulder down, right 1627 shoulder up, 60% of the weight underneath 1628 that left ankle, hips and knees back to a 1629 square position or virtually square 1630 position, okay?

1631 So right ankle on the ground, right 1632 shoulder back, 1633 externally rotate, sit down on that left 1634 ankle, 1635 okay?

Right shoulder up, left shoulder 1636 down, we're good in the hood.

1637 Do it again.

1638 Right shoulder, back.

Sit down on that 1639 left ankle.

Externally rotate that left 1640 leg.

Okay, you're going to see the left 1641 shoulder's down, right shoulder's up.

1642 Perfect.

This is how we want you to make 1643 this movement.

So, 60% of that weight 1644 underneath that left ankle is your end 1645 goal.

With your hips and knees being back 1646 to a square position and your shoulder 1647 line nice and closed.

Let's turn down the 1648 line.

Let's show you how to do it here.

1649 Okay, so we're going to push down that 1650 right ankle.

We're going to turn the body 1651 back.

Okay, we're going to externally 1652 rotate that lead knee.

We're going to 1653 feel like our butt kind of sits back onto 1654 that left ankle.

With some assistance 1655 from that, I feel like it kind of falls 1656 on that left leg.

That's a good way to 1657 get yourself unloaded.

Now, when you look 1658 at a shoulder line here, you're going to 1659 still see that Nike logo pointed back at 1660 you guys at home, okay?

If we can't see 1661 any part of it, your shoulders have 1662 unwound, okay?

So you want to try your 1663 best to keep your chest pointed back 1664 towards the camera, but allow it to move 1665 over to your lead side, okay?

So back 1666 over to your right side, load up.

1667 Externally rotate, sit down on that left 1668 leg.

Shoulder line stays nice and closed.

1669 Okay, let's do two more.

1670 Okay, actually rotate, left leg sit down, 1671 good, shoulder line nice and closed.

1672 Okay, so for those of you that don't 1673 necessarily like the idea of thinking 1674 about it from a down the line 1675 perspective, 1676 the best way to kind of think about it 1677 from a face-on perspective is left 1678 shoulder remaining low when you make that 1679 move over a transition.

So you're going 1680 to load into that right ankle, 1681 you're going to externally rotate and sit 1682 down, you're going to keep this left 1683 shoulder as low as you possibly can.

One 1684 thing that we've used in previous boot 1685 camps and we've gone before we go into 1686 like the fault fixes that we're going to 1687 do on Tuesday, 1688 And Craig likes this one as well.

Is, if 1689 you think about your lead shoulder being 1690 underneath the shelf when you're making 1691 your move over to the inside and staying 1692 down underneath the shelf.

Then you know 1693 you've, uh, have your shoulder line next 1694 to close.

If you're right.

If your leg 1695 shoulder comes up and you can see the 1696 right shoulder react to it, then you know 1697 your shoulder line will be unwinding.

And 1698 it hasn't transferred over to you.

So, 1699 again, you're seeing different ways for 1700 you to be able to encompass the movement.

1701 I know I'm throwing about 500 different 1702 things at you right now.

But if you focus 1703 on the big three, external rotation, 1704 sitting down 60% of that weight in the 1705 left ankle and letting your upper body 1706 follow along with it, you're cooking.

1707 Piece of cake.

1708 With that being said, that's it.

That's 1709 all I got for you.

1710 Your job over the next couple of days is 1711 to get exactly the amount of reps that we 1712 were doing in the previous session on 1713 Tuesday, Tuesday today.

We want you guys 1714 to try to get about 100 reps.

We've 1715 broken it up.

You can do 25 backspin reps 1716 or full backspin reps, and then you can 1717 sprinkle in 75 squat to squares.

1718 You can design your practice sessions the 1719 way that you want to.

Okay, I'm one of 1720 those people that says, okay, if you're 1721 going to go out there and do 100 reps, 1722 Then you might as well try to do both 1723 these things together in two separate 1724 pieces and try to get those.

So you'd be 1725 more apt to be able to blend them 1726 together a little bit.

On the student 1727 side.

But if you want to just spend your 1728 time doing more backs and reps to kind of 1729 drive home what we said on Tuesday, 1730 perfectly fine.

We're here to work at 1731 your pace with you as well.

We can adjust 1732 some things here if you need to.

Right.

1733 If you need a flip-flop list right now 1734 because that back's going to be still a 1735 challenge for you.

No issue.

1736 You're going to have these replays.

1737 You're going to have these tapes for a 1738 while.

Go up your pace.

Right, right.

So 1739 now our goal for Tuesday is to set you up 1740 to be able to make the post-op move 1741 happen.

1742 Okay, so you've got some work to do.

Now, 1743 again, extremely important to both Craig 1744 and I because your success is what we are 1745 here for.

And we want you guys to succeed 1746 with this stuff.

We don't want you guys 1747 to go out and play bad golf.

We want you 1748 to take this stuff and feel what it's 1749 like to be able to hit the ball with some 1750 authority without having to feel like 1751 you're working all that hard.

Okay?

1752 Make sure that you use the swing review 1753 process.

1754 I saw a lot of you take advantage of 1755 that, submit swings for review.

We were 1756 able to kind of look at things and get 1757 them back over to you pretty quickly.

1758 Those of you that might still find 1759 yourself having some questions after 1760 today's session, you can always revert 1761 back to the PDF.

You can go back and 1762 watch today's session on recap, or you 1763 could just post up some questions in our 1764 forums underneath the video player on the 1765 website.

1766 Those are the resources that we want you 1767 to make sure that you can utilize.

Also, 1768 both Craig and I have opened up sessions 1769 for live sessions.

If anybody wants to do 1770 30 minutes of time list because they're 1771 not really feeling like they're getting 1772 this movement transition, or they may 1773 want to clean it, by all means, do that 1774 stuff.

I'm not trying to sell you off 1775 like I'm standing here selling Tupperware 1776 or something like that.

I just want you 1777 guys to get this stuff down.

That's what 1778 you're here for.

So if you get this stuff 1779 in a good spot and you are ready to start 1780 adding post stuff, Tuesday's a fun day 1781 for us because now we're introducing 1782 something a little bit different to the 1783 boot camp, giving you some different 1784 looks at the way that we're making this 1785 movement happen.

And in fact, if you guys 1786 get that done, then the rest of this 1787 stuff becomes much, much easier.

And 1788 you'll see that as you get more reps over 1789 the next two weeks, that you're going to 1790 start actually feeling what it's like to 1791 be able to use your body more and less of 1792 your smaller muscles, your hands and your 1793 arms, Which is kind of fun because when 1794 you start hitting the golf ball and you 1795 feel like you've got a whole bunch of 1796 fuel left in the tank to burn up.

And 1797 feeling what effortless power is all 1798 about, it's addictive because you're 1799 like, that's it.

That's all I have to do.

1800 I'm like, yeah, that's all you have to 1801 do.

It's okay, right?

Yeah.

Did I miss 1802 anything?

No, thank you.

1803 I think we got it all.

So with that being 1804 said, for those of you that want to get 1805 the heck out of Dodge and don't want to 1806 listen to Craig and I ramble about 1807 anything golf-related, 1808 you guys are more than welcome to sign 1809 out of here.

For those of you that want 1810 to stick around and ask questions, by all 1811 means, ask the questions.

We will stick 1812 around for quite a few minutes here.

1813 If we don't, get a chance to say goodbye 1814 to you, those of you that are leaving the 1815 room right now.

Have a wonderful rest of 1816 your weekend.

Enjoy the U.

S.

Open.

1817 Hopefully everybody's staying safe out 1818 there.

And so hopefully you guys enjoyed 1819 what you saw today.

All right, so.

1820 We got some questions coming in.

So when 1821 do I start the squat to square move in 1822 relationship to the backswing?

So this is 1823 a great question.

So when you make your 1824 full backswing turn, so when you feel all 1825 that coil movement starting to happen is 1826 when you're going to start initiating 1827 that move over to your lead side.

So you 1828 want to allow yourself to feel like 1829 you're getting to 90 degrees, and then 1830 you want to start making that transition 1831 happen pretty quickly.

Okay, so when you 1832 have the golf club in your hands, 1833 momentum and inertia is going to continue 1834 to kind of pull you in this direction.

1835 You'll start creating a little bit more 1836 stretch there.

Um, but again, you want to 1837 make sure that you facilitate a good full 1838 turn.

Once you see that happen, it's time 1839 to start going over to your left side.

1840 Okay, a lot of times what people do is 1841 they've used the video.

Started the 1842 basket for the vaccines complete, and 1843 they start making 70 degrees turn.

And 1844 they don't really facilitate a full back 1845 swing, so the full back swing is going to 1846 be marked when you're when your shoulder 1847 line gets to that 90 degree mark.

So good 1848 question, all right.

So does the left 1849 heel go down first before the body starts 1850 to shift, or does it all move together?

1851 so it's all moving together?

My man, so 1852 good question.

So your left ankle?

okay, 1853 you're going to hear us say left ankle, 1854 left heel?

A lot.

I got to kind of move 1855 myself away from saying heel, because a 1856 lot of times people get way too far back 1857 in the heel.

And they got their their 1858 foot kind of like this, and it's not good 1859 for you, okay, so you want to have your 1860 weight move to the underneath that ankle 1861 joint.

You're going to feel most of the 1862 pressure more towards the trail side of 1863 the foot, though, so you'll feel an 1864 increase in pressure right away to that 1865 left side, okay?

So, as soon as you start 1866 externally rotating that lead leg and 1867 you're facilitating a sit move 1868 simultaneously.

As long as your upper 1869 body is falling onto that side with it, 1870 you're going to feel all of that weight 1871 moving under there.

I think I'm answering 1872 the question.

So it does move all 1873 together, you will feel the pressure 1874 starts to increase and it's very rapid, I 1875 mean, it's very rapid because it's.

It's 1876 a little bit more movement for those of 1877 you that have stayed rotational, and it's 1878 a lot less movement for those of you that 1879 have been sliders most of your life.

1880 Because we're going to see a good balance 1881 of that, where people just continue to 1882 slide their hips because they use a lot 1883 of right side push.

1884 So for those of you at home that do that, 1885 this movement is going to feel very 1886 minimal.

1887 So you're going to be like, that's it?

1888 Yeah, because you've got to remember, we 1889 still have some work to do with some 1890 lateral movement from the hip as we get 1891 to post-up.

So there's some movement 1892 that's going to be left there.

1893 So we've got some questions coming in.

I 1894 like this.

So Doug says, take away head 1895 moves back a few inches during squat to 1896 square.

Does head move back to setup 1897 position or more forward in setup 1898 position?

So your head will move about an 1899 inch to an inch and a half off the golf 1900 ball.

It's going to come back into its 1901 original position or slightly in front of 1902 where it was addressed when you make this 1903 move.

We would rather have you err on the 1904 side of being slightly in front of where 1905 it wasn't addressed because, again, it's 1906 much easier for Craig and I to tone back.

1907 I can't emphasize that enough.

Okay, so 1908 if you're watching yourself from a face 1909 -on perspective, put a piece of tape.

Your 1910 mirror and mark your head position and 1911 address and follow.

So you're gonna move 1912 off of it.

And then you're gonna see the 1913 back on the left side and see if the lead 1914 side of your head is just slightly in 1915 front of that line, you're perfectly 1916 fine.

And just make sure that you have 1917 the checkpoints in place where you feel 1918 upwards of% maybe a little bit more, 1919 you're gonna feel.

The hips are in, 1920 these, are back to the square position 1921 and the shoulders are still closed, 1922 right.

And same thing like I mentioned in 1923 the first session, you can see how this 1924 screen is on the side of my head right 1925 here.

So if I set up on the side of my 1926 head right here and I rotate towards the 1927 top, you can see my head moved off a 1928 little bit.

But now as I shift, my head's 1929 getting back and you can see it's just 1930 slightly out ahead of it.

So you can find 1931 something in a fixed space to really kind 1932 of focus on.

The only thing that bothers 1933 me about that comment, Doug, is a few 1934 inches.

It's only going to be about an 1935 inch to an inch and a half.

If you're 1936 going a few inches, you know, three or 1937 four more off of it, then you're getting 1938 a little bit of push in there and you're 1939 moving too much off so you're having to 1940 recover too much.

coming down in 1941 transition.

Yeah, great point there, 1942 great point.

So lots of good questions 1943 coming in here.

So why is it feeling like 1944 I'm pushing a bit off of my right foot?

1945 Okay, so if you're pushing off your right 1946 foot and you're making this movement over 1947 to your lead side, then your chances are 1948 your weight's going to the forward part 1949 of the foot as you're making this 1950 movement happen, or you literally are 1951 pushing off your right foot.

So now, make 1952 no mistake about it, okay?

And I'm 1953 talking graduate-level stuff here, so 1954 don't get yourselves into this little 1955 frenzy or get yourself all.

1956 Hopped up on, now I'm doing whatever 1957 here, okay?

The right leg in your mouth 1958 swing can help move things back over to 1959 your lead side.

It's perfectly fine.

But 1960 if it causes your left hip to get pushed 1961 out past neutral, if it causes your hips 1962 to spin open too much, if it causes your 1963 hips to come forward where you have any 1964 sort of early extension from your spine, 1965 then you don't want any part of it.

1966 You're going to have to really, really 1967 focus on what you're doing with your lead 1968 side of your body mostly, okay?

There's a 1969 muscle group in the lead side of the body 1970 that you can start to be a little bit 1971 more aware of.

A lot of times you don't 1972 hear us talk about this.

I actually did a 1973 video on this a long time ago.

Fixing 1974 weight transfer you did fixing weight 1975 transfer and preventing hip pain.

I kind 1976 of thought about the inner adductors.

1977 Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we just the 1978 inductors in the lead side of the body.

1979 We can talk a little bit more about this 1980 on Tuesday.

We see some balls pop up.

But 1981 you can use these muscles to help 1982 facilitate a little bit of a pull move or 1983 the lead leg.

At higher rates of speed, 1984 it's harder for people to be able to feel 1985 that muscle group, but it is something 1986 that can help you, um, get away from a 1987 lot of your right side push.

In fact, 1988 that's just what I talked about right 1989 now.

Okay, so we don't have to, 1990 let's not be around the bush.

So when 1991 Craig is in this position, where he's set 1992 up.

If he takes his left foot and drags 1993 it on the ground over to where it is 1994 right, it kind of like tries to create a 1995 lot of friction on the ground.

Here.

And 1996 you do this at home, you're going to 1997 start feeling the muscle group right 1998 here, start acting, these are your 1999 inductors, and these are the muscles 2000 that, um, you can use to help pull 2001 yourself onto that, that lead side.

Okay, 2002 so this is again, this is like a graduate 2003 level kind of move.

So now when you go 2004 into your loaded position, what you're 2005 going to do is you're going to try to 2006 feel those same muscles.

Pulling, but not 2007 allowing your foot to slide across the 2008 ground.

And it's another good way for you 2009 to be able to make more of a pull 2010 sensation onto that left side.

That's 2011 going to help you alleviate some of the 2012 right side push.

So hopefully that gives 2013 you a different look at it.

But it's okay 2014 if you feel the right leg helping a 2015 little bit in this case, as long as it's 2016 not causing one of those major faults.

2017 But if you focus on, you know the exact 2018 plan that Craig and I both laid out here 2019 for you.

You shouldn't.

You should feel 2020 minimal, yeah, it should be minimal.

But 2021 and that's the thing if you want to check 2022 that out.

Because even like me doing it 2023 right there, you really can feel that 2024 inside.

And if you're using that lead 2025 side properly, it's much safer because 2026 your lead side isn't going to pull you 2027 left.

Or if you're left-handed, right 2028 outside of position.

So that's fixing 2029 your weight transfer and preventing the 2030 pain.

We'll talk about that.

Okay, so for 2031 my reps, do I need to stop at backswing?

2032 Finish?

Seems harder to trigger 2033 transition When I start.

You don't need 2034 to stop at the backswing finish, you can 2035 go back into transition if you feel 2036 confident enough.

Um, if you're, if 2037 you're 100 hitting the checkpoints and 2038 when it's all completed from backswing 2039 into squad to square, as Craig just did 2040 here, okay, then you can move.

We'd 2041 rather have you move through the 2042 positions, and also you gotta remember we 2043 never hit positions, we move through 2044 them.

And so if you get to a point on 2045 Tuesday where you're really advanced and 2046 you, you've noticed that you've made full 2047 turn going back.

You've restricted your 2048 hips, you've got good separation, you're 2049 back into a squat to square position, 2050 with your weight on your ankle and your 2051 shoulder lines closed, then do it then, 2052 by all means, if you need to move 2053 dynamically, and that's sometimes.

I 2054 encourage that to people.

I have people 2055 that they can do static reps all day 2056 long.

And they make it look perfect on 2057 camera, but when you put it off in their 2058 hands, it's like 2059 the world, they're in a completely 2060 different space.

And so I want the golf 2061 club to be able to get in their hands 2062 pretty quickly.

I want you to be able to 2063 move quickly.

So your brain goes, oh, 2064 okay, this feels like a golf sweater.

You 2065 need it to be relatable.

Okay, so good 2066 question there.

So Arthur, am I looking 2067 too far ahead to be thinking?

You already 2068 answered your own question by asking 2069 that.

2070 So am I looking too far ahead to be 2071 thinking about the clamshell drill with a 2072 squat to square?

Does that happen from 2073 squat to square?

So what we just taught 2074 you was virtually the clamshell drill 2075 back onto your lead side.

Okay, the 2076 clamshell drill was a very, very good, 2077 clear overview as to what your hips and 2078 your legs are going to be doing for each 2079 and every aspect of the golf swing.

Okay, 2080 we're trying to give you these, not 2081 dumbed down, but you know the expression 2082 of kiss, keep it simple, stupid.

We're 2083 trying to give you these simple movements 2084 for your brain to be able to grab onto or 2085 latch onto and say, okay, I can make this 2086 movement happen.

When you boil this stuff 2087 down at the end of the day, and Craig can 2088 expound on this if he wants to.

is that 2089 everybody processes information 2090 differently, right?

So if you look at our 2091 weight shift videos back over to the lead 2092 side, we've got seven, eight, nine, ten, 2093 we've got tons of them, right?

And 2094 everybody's like, well, this video is 2095 different than this.

Yeah, of course.

But 2096 all of those videos have the same goal at 2097 the end of it.

It's to get you into this 2098 position that we just taught you to, 2099 okay?

2100 Everybody processes it a little bit 2101 differently, so what we've noticed is the 2102 keywords that we're giving you are these 2103 simple little ways to be able to do this.

2104 It's the best way for.

Bulk of the 2105 people to be able to facilitate movements 2106 now, that doesn't mean that a hundred 2107 percent of you are going to be able to do 2108 that, right?

We're going to see some 2109 people take the information, process it 2110 way differently, and we're going to see 2111 people still hanging back over the right 2112 side.

That's what we expect.

So you have 2113 to remember, we're speaking to groups of 2114 masses.

And we want to be able to find 2115 the best combination of things that are 2116 going to work best for you.

And so we.

2117 That's through all of the research and 2118 all of the time that we spent.

I mean, 2119 we've done well, lots of reviews and lots 2120 of lessons, so we've seen a lot of this 2121 stuff and so.

Yeah, and it's okay for you 2122 to think that, Arthur.

I mean, if you 2123 look at it, you can see the little 2124 Bridgestone logo back there on the bag.

2125 So if I get set up here and I start to 2126 load and rotate and I start to go back, 2127 you can see when I get my squat to square 2128 or clamshell, because that's the whole 2129 point is getting these butt cheeks back 2130 on that clamshell, you can see that I 2131 start to cover a little bit more of that 2132 Bridgestone logo right there.

So the 2133 clamshell.

2134 Is a good thought, but just stay focused 2135 on what you're trying to achieve.

If 2136 you're using that kind of as a reference, 2137 like you want to put something back 2138 there, no problem.

Just make sure that 2139 you know what you're doing.

You're not 2140 like, okay, I'm just going to put my luck 2141 back here.

Stay focused on what we're 2142 trying to do.

Get the knee, get the 2143 weight, keep the shoulder down, all our 2144 checkpoints.

Yep.

Good, good, good.

2145 All right.

So Jason says, external 2146 rotation.

Does the knee point forward of 2147 the ball at all?

So the knee itself at a 2148 dress is in front of the golf ball.

Okay, 2149 so the ball would be right here.

2150 The knee is in front of it.

And so when 2151 you externally rotate, it's going to move 2152 back in front of it just a slight amount.

2153 Okay, so if you're thinking about it from 2154 a reference point to that standpoint, you 2155 might want to move away from it because, 2156 again, that might get you a little bit 2157 jumbled up and you're trying to move into 2158 this fixed space.

Think about it from a 2159 weight shift perspective.

Think about how 2160 much weight you're actually trying to 2161 transfer.

60% weight left ankle.

If you 2162 just do a little bit of external rotation 2163 of the lead leg and not think about where 2164 it's supposed to be.

that you're going to 2165 see that this movement becomes a little 2166 bit more dynamic.

It's easier for you to 2167 achieve.

I know that you guys are the 2168 most analytical freaking people on the 2169 planet.

2170 I mean, that's just the nature of the 2171 beast.

2172 We have lots of very high IQ people that 2173 visit the website just because of the 2174 content that's put out there.

And so a 2175 lot of times we want you to not analyze 2176 it to the umpteenth degree because it can 2177 make you feel like you're a full enough 2178 launcher.

You can't move.

That's just me.

2179 That's my opinion on it.

2180 I would say you can use it if you want 2181 to, but I would say focus on what the 2182 left knee or left leg are doing, just a 2183 little bit of transition, a little extra 2184 rotation, a little sit move on to about 2185 60%, and you're dancing.

2186 All right, so when we do reps for this 2187 week, do we still do the full backswing 2188 moves first before the squat or start on 2189 top?

Nope.

So you would want to still do 2190 the move over to your backswing so you 2191 can continue to get more reps on that.

2192 Um, and then you can start adding the 2193 spot to that position, you don't want to 2194 just start from a static position over 2195 here because you don't.

You got to 2196 remember, you got to move into that 2197 position and then you're going to move 2198 through.

So I would start from a Saturday 2199 dress, moving it back exactly.

And when 2200 you recruit and stretch those muscles and 2201 you get engaged by making this motion.

It 2202 helps you get back over here because you 2203 still, you've built up a lot of good 2204 tension to help you get back over to this 2205 lead side.

So if I were just to put my 2206 weight on my right leg and rotate up here 2207 towards the top, I really don't see 2208 anything.

So that there was nothing 2209 really dynamic about that, so could I 2210 practice that?

Yeah, but you're gonna 2211 Load and rotate in this stretch, in this 2212 rebound.

It's going to be helped by going 2213 through the full motion Exactly, exactly.

2214 So very very good point there.

Great.

2215 Thank you.

I appreciate that All right, 2216 so questions look good here.

I like, I 2217 like the questions from this group.

So 2218 you guys were not only like our number 2219 one group with the way that you guys 2220 move, but you guys ask all the questions 2221 are great.

So Gary says, Do I need to do 2222 anything special to get my swing review 2223 to you?

As opposed to going to the 2224 instructor that it went to before?

I 2225 joined this group?

So, Gary, you can 2226 request both Craig and myself.

Um, 2227 typically, the the rule for the website 2228 is the only way to be able to request.

2229 One of us is to be able to be a part of 2230 the elements.

Interview groups.

Um, you 2231 can try, like if you're already with an 2232 instructor, he can maybe for the 2233 information over, just to try to get it 2234 done.

We'll let's do.

We're, yeah, we'll 2235 do our best so you can say, Hey, I'm a 2236 boot camper.

I'm a private student of 2237 Craig and Chris.

Can this be forward 2238 over?

And we'll do our best to be able to 2239 get it back over to you?

We're just 2240 trying to get all of these reviews back 2241 over you guys as quickly as we possibly 2242 can, especially during boot camp.

Um, so 2243 we do have some other instructors that 2244 are on there that are helping us out.

2245 There's a pretty good chance that, um, 2246 that the information will be very 2247 comfortable.

We hope, okay, we hope so, 2248 but you can ask me, we'll, we'll do our 2249 best.

If it's not, let us know.

That was 2250 a really piss poor answer on my behalf.

2251 I'm sorry.

Just you can put it in the 2252 notes and we'll, we'll.

We'll work our 2253 butts off to get it over.

Okay, all 2254 right.

So Henry says.

Shoulders are not 2255 intentionally opened at this point.

2256 correct.

Your shoulders will be 45 2257 degrees closed at least.

So here's the 2258 equation I want you to work off of.

Okay, 2259 so go ahead, load up.

So 45 degrees of 2260 hip rotation going back, 90 degrees of 2261 shoulder rotation.

When the hips come 2262 back to a square position, if you're 2263 literally trying your best to not unwind 2264 your shoulders, when you unwind your 2265 hips, the shoulders have to unwind.

So 2266 you're going to have at least 45 degrees 2267 of hip shoulder rotation left.

And the 2268 way that that would look from a down the 2269 line perspective, Is that your logo of 2270 your chest would be pointed back towards 2271 you at home?

Okay, and you're?

You would 2272 see that the right shoulder is up and the 2273 left shoulder is down.

And then, from a 2274 face-on perspective, what that would look 2275 like is the left shoulder is going to 2276 look really low in relationship to the 2277 right shoulder.

So you're going to see 2278 quite a bit of tilt here.

Okay, to the 2279 shoulder one, okay, and yes, not 2280 intentionally.

Shoulders are dead to you 2281 in the dance room.

There is no active 2282 motion of the shoulders in the dance 2283 room, Jason says.

Why is this game so 2284 damn hard?

2285 Listen, I've played for 33 years.

It 2286 doesn't get any easier.

I've played 2287 through the game just like Craig has.

2288 It's a fickle game, man.

2289 There's so many moving parts to it, 2290 really.

2291 Think about this sport.

We're taking this 2292 little white ball and we're putting it in 2293 a hole that's 300, 400, 500 yards away.

2294 That's not very big and we have all these 2295 variables in place.

That we got rough, we 2296 got fairway, we got, you know, we've got 2297 different graphs, we got different lines.

2298 It's a very, very daunting task, and so 2299 there's a lot of stuff out there.

Even 2300 with what they're doing.

With all this 2301 technology, you just have all of this 2302 stuff being fit in your brain.

I like to 2303 keep it simple.

Once you've done with the 2304 swing shape that you're going to have, 2305 uh, next week or the week after, you're 2306 going to see that.

We want you to just do 2307 this simple movement over and over and 2308 over again, and just let the golf plug in 2309 the way golf is about a swing, it's not 2310 about a hit.

And those of you that go out 2311 there and try to feel like you're 2312 chopping wood and trying to do the same.

2313 Or trying to make the next big change.

2314 Based off of what you saw in a YouTube 2315 video.

It's never going to happen.

2316 The way the brain learns stuff is it just 2317 doesn't do that stuff.

2318 Right.

And right now, I know it seems 2319 technical because we throw some terms at 2320 you.

We put you through some drills.

But 2321 there's kind of simplicity in its 2322 complexity.

That when you get done with 2323 this, And you start to gear your swing 2324 towards, oh, I just need the trigger of 2325 shifting weight.

You know, when I feel 2326 weight, you know, things kind of happen 2327 automatically.

When you start going 2328 through and you really start getting down 2329 what we're talking about, it really will 2330 simplify it.

So that you can kind of 2331 focus on the fun stuff and just play.

And 2332 I mean, I just want you to focus on 2333 swinging the stick and hitting the stupid 2334 ball, right.

And the way to do that is to 2335 really get the process in your brain of 2336 what you're trying to achieve.

I mean, 2337 think about, like, you know, when you're 2338 learning your multiplication tables and 2339 you're like, all right, two times two is 2340 four.

You're really having to think about 2341 that, but how much do you have to think 2342 about that?

Now?

If we can give you 2343 simple cues and simple, repeatable things 2344 over and over again, you can go out and 2345 enjoy play golf instead of play swing.

2346 Yep.

So, 2347 Jason, we can answer that question all 2348 day long.

There's so many things I can 2349 tell you.

If you want to see how hard it 2350 really can be, Go watch what these guys 2351 are going to be doing, or what they're 2352 going to be dealt with at Wingfoot today 2353 and tomorrow.

Because I can see this golf 2354 course is going to give them all they can 2355 handle.

And you actually start to see the 2356 golf course start to bear its teeth a 2357 little bit yesterday.

2358 But USGA can firm everything up very 2359 quickly, and they can make this golf 2360 course almost ungettable.

So watch what 2361 those guys have to deal with.

And those 2362 guys are ball-straining machines.

At that 2363 level, they make things look pretty easy, 2364 but this golf course is going to make 2365 them look a little bit on the difficult 2366 side.

2367 More questions coming in.

So leg 2368 rotation, squat are synced together, or 2369 leg rotation starts first?

Squat and leg 2370 rotation are happening simultaneously.

2371 All of these movements together, they're 2372 not just going to be doing one or the 2373 other during any part, okay, they're 2374 going to be doing all of those movements 2375 together.

Think about, um, a world of a 2376 world of peace where we all just hold 2377 hands and we just do everything together, 2378 right?

That would be the idea of what 2379 you're trying to do with your hips.

So 2380 the extra rotation, the sit move and 2381 letting everybody fall in position with 2382 it are all happening simultaneously, and 2383 it's happening very quickly.

Okay, very, 2384 very quick, but I think that actually 2385 says it, says it on your spot, 2386 Okay, so we got Arthur coming in.

So 2387 thank you so much, guys.

No one, I mean, 2388 no one teaches and else can focus on 2389 these fundamentals.

Well, thank you very 2390 much.

Thank you.

We appreciate that.

2391 Thank you.

2392 Glad to have you.

2393 Mark says, this is awesome.

Great 2394 attention to you.

Well, thank you, Mark.

2395 We appreciate that.

Thank you, Mark.

You 2396 guys are trying to get on our good graces 2397 for Tuesday.

Yeah, so I'm kind of worried 2398 right now.

Maybe y'all are trying to 2399 butter us up because y'all are struggling 2400 a little bit with this.

2401 Awesome.

So thank you very much, David.

I 2402 appreciate it.

Looks like there was a 2403 loss of connection.

I think we're still 2404 up and running here.

2405 It appears that we're still up and 2406 running.

2407 All right.

So I think we're winding down 2408 on questions.

So with that being said, 2409 again, we know you guys have other 2410 options.

We know that you guys have other 2411 things going on in your lives.

We know 2412 that golf is being played on TV right 2413 now.

We know that we're dealing with.

2414 Some crazy stuff in certain parts of the 2415 world.

And we really appreciate you guys 2416 taking time out of your day to come sit 2417 with us.

And hopefully you guys found the 2418 information to your liking and hopefully 2419 you're able to utilize it.

To be able to 2420 start, uh, the second part of your 2421 process, or the second part of your 2422 journey to being able to build the golf 2423 swing that you need to be able to use the 2424 rest of your life.

Because this is hands 2425 down the most efficient way and the 2426 safest way to be able to move your body.

2427 And be able to move this belt from one 2428 side of the body to the other while 2429 straighten as far as possible.

So we 2430 really appreciate it.

And, uh, Craig and 2431 I can't thank you guys enough for being 2432 here.

And we will do everything we can 2433 over the next few days to be able to help 2434 you.

Uh, through the processes, to make 2435 sure that you guys are doing these moves 2436 the best you can.

So, uh, hope you guys 2437 have a great rest of your weekend, Greg, 2438 anything you want to add there?

I want to 2439 add something just that what I just saw.

2440 Cecilia, you didn't receive an email for 2441 logging on.

You have to register for each 2442 session independently.

2443 So the reason that you didn't get an 2444 email is because each session you have to 2445 register from, from that original email 2446 last week when we started boot camp.

So 2447 if you need help with that email customer 2448 service, then we'll get you on it.

But 2449 it's because you have to register 2450 independently for each one.

Yep.

So 2451 Steven says the transition is so 2452 important to get right.

I know.

I get 2453 back and then start with my arms, hope 2454 this will fix it.

So if you want to stop 2455 using parts of your body that you've been 2456 overwhelming in the past, then you need 2457 to start using another part of your body 2458 more.

And this is a great way to be able 2459 to start that process.

2460 So you've got to remember that old 2461 movement pattern won't die off, but we 2462 will do everything we can to help kick it 2463 in its butt and put it on the back bench 2464 to where it will never haunt you again.

2465 So this is a very, very.

2466 Important move, for sure, because it 2467 starts the whole chain of events that 2468 need to happen to.

You know, YouTube 2469 posts up and throw in the club properly.

2470 So, uh, looks like I'm not ready to get 2471 on playing just yet.

But do you have an 2472 idea when you start live lessons in 2473 Orlando?

I'm already.

We're already back 2474 underway here, so anytime you want to get 2475 on the plane and come down and see us, we 2476 will take you.

Planes aren't bad right 2477 now, they're very wide open.

I, I took a 2478 flight a couple months ago, they're wide 2479 open.

Um, so, Lee said.

Skip the range 2480 during boot camp or plane.

Did I talk 2481 about this in three sessions?

2482 You talked about it a little bit.

Go 2483 ahead.

How about that?

We didn't do it 2484 very well.

No, no, because I'm not 2485 talking about men's league or women's 2486 league.

Like if you're going to want to 2487 play, so what should you think about 2488 while you're playing?

If you're going to 2489 take full advantage of this league, 2490 ideally you're going to shelve the 2491 course, but we're never going to tell you 2492 not to go play.

Look, life is short.

It's 2493 sunny.

It's nice outside.

2494 But think about and assess what your 2495 goals really are.

What are you trying to 2496 do?

You're trying to completely change a 2497 new movement pattern right now.

So when 2498 you go out and play, you're going to tend 2499 to fall back into old habits.

If you do 2500 want to go play because it's nice 2501 outside, the U.

S.

Open's got you excited, 2502 at least try to take one thing that we're 2503 doing.

Try to be hyper-focused.

If it's 2504 just full shoulder rotation or just 2505 shifting weight, think, all right, today, 2506 come hell or high water, I'm just going 2507 to make sure I get my weight to keep 2508 trying to reinforce what we're doing here 2509 because we would never want to tell you 2510 not to go play.

I mean, that's.

I would 2511 never take the job.

So, 2512 but.

Also, think about what our end 2513 result is.

Our goal isn't to shoot 65 2514 tomorrow, our goal is to shoot 65 for a 2515 lifetime.

So just make sure if you do go 2516 out, you stay focused on something that 2517 we're doing, so you don't kind of lose 2518 your work.

All right?

So Sean says, the 2519 shoulder tilt gets less when the hips go 2520 to squat to square, correct so the 2521 shoulder tilt so your shoulder plane.

2522 Going back in your backswing, it's 2523 winding up perpendicular to your spine, 2524 it's going to be unwinding perpendicular 2525 to your spine.

As you make your squat to 2526 square, move over to your lead side.

2527 Okay, so it's going to give you the 2528 appearance that from a downline 2529 perspective, that it's dropped down just 2530 a little bit.

Okay, just a fraction, but 2531 it's unwinding on the same exact length.

2532 So when you look at it from face on 2533 perspective, you can look to see when 2534 your lead arm is parallel to the ground 2535 or where it would be parallel to the 2536 ground.

What your shoulders look like, 2537 and then after you complete your squat to 2538 square, your shoulders should look very 2539 comfortable to that.

That's something 2540 we'll talk about a little bit further, 2541 but yes, so it will.

2542 You want to look like the left shoulder 2543 is low and the right shoulder is up 2544 behind that as much as you possibly can.

2545 Yeah, just don't get caught up in the 2546 numbers and nuances, because that's it.

2547 Someone's like, Well, I'm two degrees 2548 here, four degrees here.

That's never 2549 made or break anybody from shooting far.

2550 Yep, okay, so that's it.

You guys have a 2551 wonderful rest of your weekend, get out 2552 there and play some good golf, and we'll 2553 see you guys on Tuesday at 7 p.

m eastern 2554 standard time have a wonderful day
