Bootcamp 7, Sept 29 2020, Session 5

Session 5 of 6

---

Welcome everybody.

Happy Tuesday.

Hopefully everybody's having a wonderful start to their week so far.

As always, I'm Chris Tyler.

This is Craig Morrow.

We are here on session number five of Bootcamp number seven.

We have a very, Very simple night, but a very important night for you guys.

Because tonight.

We are going to make sure that every single person that's chiming in from wherever you are in this world is going to make sure that you can set yourself up properly.

You can load your body up.

And you can get yourself down to the delivery point with both hands on.

Because Saturday is a big day for us.

We want everybody in this group to be able to graduate with us and start being able to feel what it's like to be able to make this golf swing work from beginning to end.

And even if you leave on Saturday, where you're feeling a little bit slow and clunky.

It's really important that you have all of these pieces that you can be able to put together.

Because that's what you're going to be working on when we get you out of here.

So I'm excited to be able to bring you the information tonight.

I know Craig and I were doing a lot of talking about how we're going to present the information tonight.

Because We know how critical it is, over these next three or four days to be able to get this information into your brain, to be able to do this stuff at the pace that you're comfortable at, but also be ready to start getting yourself into the release, which is our favorite part.

Yeah.

Tell me now.

I really love the release session.

Yeah.

Because it's like the release is kind of like the holy grail.

Like if you understand how to do it, you can start doing it and apply with what we've done.

It makes golf fun.

Exactly.

Exactly.

So it's where we start putting the rubber to the road.

And so I know a lot of this stuff has felt a little bit on the mundane side, it's felt a little bit on the clunky side.

But this is all with good reason, because these important parts that we've been really pressing into your brain are the core functions of your golf swing.

And so tonight, what we're going to be doing is we're going to be putting your troublemaker back in the mix, we're going to be letting it follow along.

And we're going to give you a specific way that we want you to practice it, once we give you the specific way that we want you to practice it.

We're going to open up for questions at the end.

And then we're going to kick you guys out the door.

Because these next four days are going to wear be where we want you guys to remain hyper-focused.

We want you guys to spend as much time as you can asking questions, going and using the video process, making sure that you are using the forums, and making sure that you are ready to come on Saturday.

Because Saturday is, again, that's our graduation day.

That's where we start taking a culmination of all the stuff that we spoke to you about over the last two and a half weeks.

We start putting it together.

And it's a matter of being a make or break point for Craig and I.

And we want to see everybody succeed with it.

And we've had what I would consider a rock star group this time.

I know we've had some return people, but we have a lot of new faces this time as well.

And I've seen some magnificent changes.

I really have.

I've seen people being really diligent about working at the speed they're comfortable with.

And I've seen people asking great questions to be able to get this stuff done.

All right.

That's the important part.

Okay.

If you have any sort of misunderstanding in your brain, Don't leave here tonight because we want you to stay with us until you get this stuff intellectually all driven into your brain, but also have the ability to be able to perform these movements.

That being said, welcome everybody.

Welcome, Gary.

Welcome, Mick.

Helen checking in.

Greg checking in.

Craig, a bunch of Craig's in this session.

I love Daniel checking in.

Kevin checking in from Detroit.

Hello, Stephen from Sierra Madre.

Awesome.

Welcome, welcome.

So we've got Pat from Sutton's Bay, Michigan.

Brad checking in from New Jersey.

Mark checking in from Springfield.

Greetings and salutations from D.

C.

Hello from Atlanta.

Robert, hello.

Hello, hello, hello.

So anything good in your world?

That's just working.

Nothing new going on.

Nothing new?

Plotting along.

Plotting along?

Plotting along.

How was the ride up tonight?

The ride, well, I at least made it.

So let's take that as the win.

But it's a little stormy out there tonight.

So it's a lot of slamming on brakes and in and out of heavy downboards.

Right.

You know how it is.

And the thing is, is with.

normal I-4 traffic.

Left lane is the slowest, right lane is the fastest.

Which is mind-bought.

I haven't yet to figure that out.

I really feel like a lot of people in Florida should go back to Driver's Ed and understand that the left lane is for passing.

It's not a lane for you to just kind of chill out and listen to music.

It's the lane for passing.

The funny thing is when you pass them because they're going under the speed limit, they look at you like you're the problem.

You're going 65 in the 70 in the left lane.

Right.

Exactly.

Exactly.

So hopefully everybody's having a wonderful start to their week so far.

If anybody's got any questions, feel free to post those up now.

We're going to answer questions just for a couple minutes, And then we want to get into tonight's program pretty quickly because we want to spend a fair amount of time going through your practice program over the next three to four days, but we also want to leave a good, Good chunk of time at the end of the session to be able to answer any questions that you might have on a setup position, whether it's something grip -related, stance grip-related.

All of those questions, Now is the night to be able to put it together.

Because you're going to be spending the next four days getting this stuff ready to rock and roll for Saturday.

You better be ready to start putting a good, Fair amount of reps under your belt so that you can start letting the club release past your body when it comes Saturday.

Because this is where the fun starts to happen.

This is where Craig and I start hitting balls all over the place in the studio.

I turn into a range picker.

You'll see me shagging balls in here, which is kind of fun.

This is where you're going to be able to leave on Saturday.

Be able to make this golf swing happen for you on a day and day basis.

And then start putting it to the drive range and to the golf course.

And start seeing what it's like to actually hit the golf ball efficiently and start making that really nice, compressed sound, which is, quite honestly, it's kind of a day.

Yeah, it's a big thing and I think that's the big thing that, you know.

What we're going to be able to do is you're going to have the plan of what to do to go to the range.

It's something that we get often is the question all right I've done the drills.

Like, now how do I take this to the range?

Like, what do I do now?

Where do I start?

Well, You're going to have the stepping stone of where you need to start when you actually start trying to apply this in real world.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Exactly.

So we got Lee checking in with the question here.

So arm only from setup.

Hard for me to get over the shoulder looking down the line.

Lack of flexibility.

Bigger turn needed.

Getting the hand there seems to throw off other things.

So Lee, The way that we want you to think about this is that body turn always take precedence over anything else.

Okay.

So weight shift first.

Body turn second, if you see that your left arm is lagging a little bit on the lower side at the top of the swing.

Okay, this is going to become a whole lot easier for you tonight.

Because again, the right hand, or your trail hand, or your belt swing is going to start coming back in the mix.

And it's going to be more or less a support system to that.

So if you make sure that you are loading into your trail side and making sure that you do make a good full body turn, that's what's most important to Craig.

And Hard.

Okay, because the arm functions in the backswing are very, very simple, okay, and a lot of times that's we make it sound easier said than done.

Okay, the functions of your arms are literally the first one is just shoulder elevation, so this little bit of movement from the hands of the arms is happening right from the get-go.

It's happening right when you start moving into your right side now, it's a very, very small movement.

It's never anything that you're going to start doing before weight shift happens, or before body turn starts to happen.

Okay, the other function of the arms would just be trailer and flexion, okay, so your trail arm just does this, so your arms are literally elevating and your trail arm is flexing.

A little bit of wrist rotation and a little bit of wrist set should make it pretty easy to be able to get the hands, arms in the vertical plane.

If you feel like you're struggling, struggling, struggling to get it up there, then wait till after tonight, wait over the next couple days.

See that when the trail hand comes back on the golf club, that you're able to start making that sort of position happen with ease.

We'll show you a couple of the key points that we're going to be looking for tonight.

Because we'll talk a little bit about elevation being a variable and how much shoulder elevation.

We'd like to see you, but you're more than welcome to add more shoulder elevation in the mix.

If you have tons of flexibility to you, you got, you know, long arms or long limbs.

If you can get your yourself to move your hands and arms into the vertical plane, more power to you, right?

But you've got to be really, really patient.

Yeah, because this, you got to remember, this golf swing is is an equation, okay, and Craig, and I will tell you.

It's made up of width, leverage and rotation.

And so if you come and you start adding tons and tons of width to the mix, then you better make sure that you balance it out.

With a lot of rotation going back, number one.

But number two, on the way down, You better make sure that you're really patient with your body to allow the hands and arms to come back down in front of you, which a lot of you, I know at home, don't have a whole lot of patience.

I don't have a lot of patience.

I like to get things moving.

And when I see that little white thing on the ground, I like to get it going as fast as I can.

I don't know what your thoughts are on this situation.

I'm more of a width guy.

I get up there and just kind of take my back.

It's funny because we always when we talk about the three power sources.

In the golf swing, everybody, you know, kind of falls in line.

Whether they like a lot of width and high hands, or they like a little bit more of a shorter swing.

With a lot of lag, typically, the the less patient and very up-tempo people like that lag.

Because they want, they want to get that change of direction going, they want to get back down the golf ball.

And I'm on the other side of the thing, I'm like, well, I don't really like the whole lot of lag.

I don't like a lot of width, and I'm just kind of hanging out there.

I really wish I had an ounce of your patience.

You can just hear it in your whole tongue, where I'm just like, go, go, go.

Again, that's the way we are.

We actually did a video on this a long time ago that talked about the tour tempo.

The Tour Tempo was a device that was studied by a couple guys that went out there and watched the tempos on PGA Tour players across the board, and even did some amateur golfer studies as well.

And notice that there was four specific tempos that was, um, starting to come to fruition there.

And so, um, you know, if you have a fast tempo or you have a slow tempo, it doesn't mean you're doing anything right or wrong.

Just that's the kind of person that you have and so you.

You can start to refine your tempo based off of moving in the correct order.

Which is obviously something that we're working very hard on with you guys over these first few sessions.

And we're going to start doing our best tonight to be able to ramp up the speed a little bit.

And then we're also going to get you guys moving into a position where you can start letting this thing fly outside, which is where it actually starts to feel like a full golf swing.

So your job over these last couple weeks was to start recruiting muscle fiber and getting your muscles loaded up in this correct order.

And I know the site might seem a little bit unsexy, or a little bit uncool, or a little bit monotonous to some of you at home.

That has made the golf club move really fast from one side of the body to the other for many, many years.

But if you get these things nailed down, then it also becomes much, much easier, right?

all right, so a couple questions.

And then we're going to go ahead and get into the nitty-gritty tonight and get you guys ready to rock and roll for Saturday, which is our big day, we're going to hope that you guys come in and rock and roll on Saturday.

So, um, so, put in the work this week.

The payoff for everything that we've done is going to be Saturday.

So really hunker down and be very diligent.

That's one thing I wanted to add to what Chris said earlier.

I have been very proud of this group about diligence, like with the reviews in some other boot camps, we've been working on certain sections.

And then we might get somebody swinging their driver and they're like, Hey, and I'm working on boot camp session two, and I'm like, Wait, it was where the driver comes from.

But this group has been very diligent about staying on task.

I've been actually very friendly, right?

Exactly?

I've seen, like, for case of point here, I know Michael checking in from Atlanta, they're working with him in the swing review process, who's had developed a very nice looking golf swing.

And, you know, For him to kind of take a step back and go back through these movements and really start to refine these, you know, my hat's off to you.

I would consider you guys a rock star group at this point because I've seen people that have been around the site for many years.

I've seen people that are not here for their first time.

I've seen people that are here for the first time really take the time and strip this stuff down and do it at the pace that they're comfortable with.

I've only had maybe one or two people that were trying to do things a little bit too fast.

And that's, again, that's a small percentage.

Those people that go a little bit on the slower side at first are going to be the ones that get to the end results.

And make sure that you have these positions down there that are going to be ready to rock and roll on Saturday.

And And then Craig and I are going to have to go back and fix a whole lot of stuff as you guys get let out into the wild.

So we've got a fun night for you guys.

Those of you that are just getting seated, tonight is just going to be a very, Very simple night as far as adding new pieces to it, because we don't want to add a whole lot into your brain.

I'm sure that a lot of you guys are in system overload at this point already.

You guys want to spend as much time as you can over the next three or four days to get yourself ready to rock and roll on Saturday, which, again, is going to be an important day for both Craig and I to be able to give you a very, very clear plan on how to make this thing feel like a golf swing, right?

That's what you're here for in the first place, because a lot of you probably don't feel like you have developed any sort of golf swing yet, but you probably start feeling body parts that you never even have.

So big night for us.

So one more question here, and then we're going to go ahead and get into it.

Actually, we've got two more.

So I've always had a couple.

Wrist at the top I think I get my wrist back in a good position.

Impact Is this a problem?

So, to go from a cupped position at the top of the golf swing and then all of a sudden try to move it to a flat position on the way down is a very, very tricky process.

Also, what that does is it relies on a lot of timing, and timing is not necessarily your friend.

Okay, timing is one of those things that Craig and I want to start extracting from your golf swing as much as soon as possible.

But why?

Well, because A lot of you guys will come to us and say, what's the first thing you're looking for out of your golf lesson today?

We'll ask you this.

And every single person in this room would say, consistency.

We want to be more consistent.

We want to be able to hit it a little bit further.

Some people will kind of mutter under their breath.

So we know that that's time.

And so if you look at the golf swing, we have to be pretty precise.

And if you're relying on a timing aspect to be able to get things lined up at the bottom of the arc, then you're just going to have these fluctuations in your golf swing.

And that's one of the things that.

You know, you can get away with.

There are some very, Very great players in this world that have less than ideal positions through their takeaway and backswing, and even in their downswing.

But they manage to get things down to where it matters the most, and that's an impact, right?

Let's look at Sergio Garcia as an example, right?

Sergio is known for what?

Well, he's known for heaps and heaps and heaps of lag, right?

He's the Lagasaurus Rex on the PGA Tour, right?

His first move in the downswing, you just see all of this down talk happen.

Now, if any of you have ever stopped and looked at Sergio's golf swing on slow motion camera, you would notice that he has a very, very big compensation embedded into his golf swing.

For those of you at home that don't know what that compensation is, take a look at his left hand at a dress.

He's got the strongest left hand in golf.

Now, why is that?

Well, because over time, when he started coming down with all of this lag, he realized that he had a hard time getting the foot face back to square.

So he progressively started to strengthen it again.

This has done something at more of a subconscious level.

Okay, and again, every single player out there has got some sort of compensation builder built in there.

So the long story short to this is you can get away with it.

But we want to be kind of down the road, where you don't want to have to rely on the timing.

Because to go from that cut position to the top, you are.

You are forcing yourself to have some redirect, and you're making it harder for yourself to get into a position where an impact your left wrist is getting.

A flat or slightly boat.

Okay, and that's the main thing, like, when you're up at the top and you cut the wrist, what's it?

Do to the face?

Well, it opens the face up here at the top.

So if we're trying to get square down at the golf ball, then at some point in time coming down, we're going to have to start squaring up this face to get it back down there.

The thing that you're really trying to do in the swing is just strip away variables.

They're going to cause you to not be consistent when you get out there.

And that's one of those variables that it's somewhat a simple fix, depending on kind of how you're gripping the club.

That can really make it a lot easier for you not have to worry about getting that clip-based score right.

Exactly so, Mark, just to further answer your question here.

Because I saw you said, Okay, how do we get rid of the Cup?

Well, the best way in the world to do it is isolate, right?

Is to train this without the golf club in your hands.

Train it left arm only and start from a position where you feel like you're holding on the golf club.

I know that's one particular thing that Craig's actually going to talk about specifically tonight was what he saw within the fault fixes.

But the best thing for you to do is get into your setup position, have your left wrist and your left arm hanging freely down from your body.

Make sure you feel like you're holding a golf club here because you have to remember.

Your left wrist is going to start out in a little bit of a cuffed position.

There's a minor amount of cupping in it.

As we start moving through the golf swing, this cupping is going to start to deteriorate because the fact that the lead wrist is rotating.

Then as we start moving through the rep, and the golf club is moving around into the vertical plane, you're going to see that that left wrist is going to want to start flying off.

This is a great way to start training, is to train without the golf club.

For those of you that have done tons and tons and tons of reps with the golf club in your hands, and you're still seeing it cupped, you've got a lot of work because you've got to start.

I'm overriding that old movement pattern, I'm sorry, but it sucks to have to do that.

Okay, because the fact that the changing hand arm position on top of the golf swing, it's pretty tricky.

Okay, it's pretty tricky, but that's the best way to start.

Then, once you, once, you start getting the hang of it, then add the golf club back to the mix.

But do it exactly like we did it on Saturday, where you flip the golf club over and you have all of the momentum and inertia out of the golf club.

And you're just focusing on left wrist rotating, forward rotating and turning your body.

And then making sure that it's flat at the top of the swing.

That's it.

And then you just continue to repeat the process.

These are things that, you know, if you really want to get it done, you've got to just kind of bite the bullet and you've got to say, okay, I've got to just really make this whole uncomfortable, awkward situation just, I've got to do it.

It's like going to the gym.

You and I, especially right now, don't want to go to the gym.

And we know how hard it's going to be when we do get back into the gym.

You've got to have that starting point, and then you just progressively kind of chip away at it as you get more reps under your belt.

All right.

So, Stephen, final question here, and then we're going to go ahead and get into it.

So, Stephen says, likely I've had a hard time getting my left hand over the top of my shoulder down line.

So, I don't know if you guys got a chance to listen to the replay or really listen to a point that Craig and I made in a previous session, but when you're doing this stuff left arm only, we don't care if it's going to be a little bit on the low side.

Okay, because we're going to add the troublemaker back to the golf club tonight.

That's going to help you get a little bit more support to the mix.

And it's a very, very simple thing.

We really care more so about your load into your right hip and your right leg, and more so about your body turn.

If you notice that the left arm is a little bit on the lower side, perfectly fine.

Now when you get the trail hand back on there, okay, and you see that it's a little bit on the lower side, then we need to fix it, right?

We're going to give you a couple check points tonight that'll help you with that.

Okay, all right.

So my flat wrist is okay, but I found I'm not getting enough wrist cock to get the shaft above parallel on the post-up.

So my wrist cock to get the shaft above parallel on the post-up.

So you're meaning in front of the trail thigh, getting this to parallel to here?

That's what I'm assuming.

Yeah.

So Gary, you know, my flat wrist is okay.

So can you show me how much wrist cock is correct?

So we want the club shaft to be parallel to the ground when your hands are in front of the trail thigh.

Now, a lot of times what people do.

is at the top of a golf swing, they'll start getting their wrist fully topped.

Think about what Craig just did here.

He just maxed out his range of motion in his left wrist.

Now, just like any other muscle group in the body, the wrist and the forearm have muscles.

What he's doing is he's starting to stretch out all those muscle fibers in there.

Your muscles don't want to stay contracted for too long.

They want to start firing and start going back in the other direction.

This is part of the stretch shortening cycle.

The last thing that you want to do if you're battling with not seeing yourself.

Get into the position where your hands are down in front of your trough and you can't maintain the club shaft parallel to the ground.

Is start trying to get more set up here.

Think about it being like 75% or 80% of your max range of motion.

Your job is at that point is to maintain that angle.

If you have to feel like you're maintaining with some support from the wrist, a little bit of tension there, which I know is taboo for a lot of you, then do so.

You can support it there because when you start moving left, things are happening pretty quickly.

The club's going to want to work out away from you if you're not supporting it.

You're just going to want to feel like you're supporting it a little bit.

Then at the bottom, it's much easier for you at that point to be able to release all that tension and let things fly, what we're going to be talking about on Saturday.

Hopefully, that answers your question.

You might want to take out a little bit of the wrist set at the top of the golf swing.

Almost feel like it's a little bit more upright and then you can feel like as you're coming down, you're just trying to maintain that angle.

And you can look at it when you get down to the lead arm, parallel to the ground, I'm sorry, lead arm down in front of your trail.

Five with club shaft is a parallel.

Okay, if you notice that it's down like this, then fix it.

Take your wrist, set it okay, and then go back to the top from this position and then come right back down to it.

Okay.

These are simple little things that you can do in the process to be able to move into that correct position, so hopefully that helps you out.

So, all right, So Ready?

Let's do it.

All right.

So big, big, big night for you guys.

It's super simple because the fact that we want you guys to be able to spend as much time as you possibly can, either A, asking us questions at the tail end of tonight's session, or B, Getting your butts out there and getting to work over these next four days.

Because we want you guys to be able to take all of the information and all of the slides that we have up here.

And be able to start making sure that you can do what?

Well, set up.

Load yourself up and get your hands and your arms down in front of your trail thigh.

So that you're ready to deliver the pub and you're ready to start releasing it.

Great, let's show them what their main goal is.

Over the next couple days.

We're going to show you a couple reps based on, and then we're going to show you a couple reps down the line.

And this would be with both hands on the golf club.

This is what we want you to be able to do, we want you to be able to load, we want you to be able to transfer.

Okay, then we want you to be able to post up and end in this same position, okay, one more time.

So we're going to load, rotate, we're going to squat to square, we're going to post up, and hands are going to be down in the spot.

Some of you are going to be able to do that with some ease, where you're going to be able to move fluidly, and some of you are going to be working at the pace that you just saw Craig do.

Again, it doesn't matter.

We want you to be able to work at the pace that you're comfortable with.

That's our main goal tonight, Is to be able to give you the information to be able to perform that exact movement that you just saw Craig produce from beginning to end, and we'll show you exactly what it looks like down the line.

So on Saturday when we start, when we start the session.

Because we're going to be giving you a whole different look at the way you release the golf club.

That we are just hyper focused on the release because there's a lot of things that you need to have in your brain.

And then once we get through that release on Saturday, we're going to give you a very crystal clear game plan on how to get this stuff blended together.

And we're going to get a couple different options that will work for you at the home front, or whether you get to the range, anything you want to add before you start.

No, I mean, I think that's we really.

If you're confused tonight, please stay around and ask because we don't want to add too much to what we've already added to your brain.

Tonight should be a very simple night.

It's everything you've done.

It's just putting this little bear paw just on the side of the club.

That's the only thing that's changing.

Because you're going to need the reps to be able to do what.

I just did right there to make Saturday work like that.

Right, exactly.

And so you're going to see the same level of progression that we talked about on Saturday, where We talk about isolating.

And then slowly starting to add the troublemaker back in the book.

Now, let's talk about why we call it the troublemaker.

Your lead hand and your lead arm in your golf swing is more or less your conservative brother.

This is the person that we call the accountant that shows up to the party on time, always pays the taxes on time, never really creates any sort of problem.

She's kind of the middle of the road kind of person.

But your trail hand, or your right hand in this situation where the right-handed golfer is at home, is your crackhead brother that's got all kinds of issues.

He shows up to the party late.

Really, he's a fun time.

He's the life of the party.

Yeah, he's the life of the party, but he can screw some things up pretty quickly.

Now, the reason why that is is because he's sitting in a position that's behind the golfer, okay?

And when you start using this hand way too much in your golf swing, you start affecting swing playing.

You start affecting the face angle and we don't need it to do that stuff we're going to teach you on Saturday.

For those of you that really want to understand what your trail hand and arm are going to be doing in your golf swing.

Okay, you're going to understand what it should be doing at certain points, and I can assure you it's not going to be happening or doing anything.

From the point of your setup to the top of your backswing, to transition or to post up, it's going to be doing something at the bottom of the swing.

Okay, so, All right, so get that in your brain.

Make sure that you understand that your right hand and right arm are more or less a passive conduit.

That's going to be helping you transfer energy from your body as you get more reps under your body.

So your job is to start loading things up, turning your body, and then you're going to start working on transferring energy the proper way, and all is going to be great.

So the level of progression that we want you to follow is you're going to take your setup.

And you're going to go through the same motions left arm only with a golf club.

And you're going to go ahead and take the right hand.

And you're going to add it to the top of the golf club or add it to the top of the back swim.

Craig is going to demonstrate that for you now.

So we're going to set up.

Golf club is going to be on the heavy end.

Okay.

We're going to push that right ankle on the ground.

We're going to turn our body.

Now, what you're going to see Craig do is you're going to take the right hand and he's going to just touch the shaft.

Okay.

Now he's just touching it with his pointer or his pointer finger and his thumb.

See that?

He's not grabbing the whole golf boat.

The minute he starts grabbing the whole golf boat, The minute he's going to start trying to push that golf boat and start throwing it all away from him.

First thing we want you to do is exactly what we just did on Saturday, But then we want you to take the right hand, and we want you to now start reaching over to touch the golf boat.

For those of you that have had a hard time getting your hands and your arms more upright, this is going to make it much easier for you to be able to support the club.

Greg will vouch for this.

He deals with this stuff in the clinics.

It's amazing how much easier it is by adding the right hand onto the shaft, how much it takes the stress off the left arm.

Yeah, that's the one thing that I always love to show people in the clinics or in the boot camps, that when we start going through this process, if you just make a lead arm only swing with a club up here, you feel it.

The club, it's got some mass.

It's got some weight to it.

You feel a little, you know, kind of taxing in the arm.

But as soon as you take this trail hand, even if you just take your index finger and you just put it lightly underneath the shaft, it's like, oh, wow.

Like, I can hang up here for all all day now.

Like, how did it just become so light by just putting down?

Think about if just putting your index together all of a sudden makes the club light as a daisy.

Like, I can support this.

Think about what happens when you put your full hand on it, how much control and power has over it.

So, you know, as Chris was mentioning, if you struggle with elevation, this little bit.

Just putting the finger here is going to make a world of difference in being able to support this, right exactly, and so.

The checkpoints that you're going to look for at the top of your backswing, as far as your arms are concerned, are going to be quite simple here.

So when you have the right hand reach over and touch the golf club, you're going to have your right elbow, and we'll show you this down the line here in a second, right at the base of your chest.

You're going to see that your left hand and your left arm are extended out and they're pretty straight.

They're passively straight.

They're not ramrod straight, but they're passively straight.

You're going to see that your left wrist is flat and that your right elbow is in line with your torso.

So let's turn down the line real quick and show them those checkpoints.

Because I know a lot of you want to make your gallstrings look really pretty, right?

So this is where you talk about being on plane.

So the first one would be making sure that the right elbow is at the base of the chest.

This is the elevation point that I was just talking about at the very start of the session.

Now, some of you are going to want to be able to go a little bit higher.

Some of you want to go a little bit lower, we never advocate going a little bit on the lower side than this.

Just because what that does is it shuffles around your equation.

Where you have to rely on a whole lot more leverage, and typically, when you start relying a lot more on leverage, you start developing more time in this way.

So we like to kind of stay down the middle of the road, okay, so we like to see the right elbow at the base of the chest.

So if you draw a line straight down underneath his elbow, you're going to see it's right down underneath the base of his chest.

Okay, second checkpoint would be the lead arm is going to be passively straight.

Lead wrist is nice and flat.

You're also going to look for the right elbow to be in line with the torso.

Now, for those of you that have had a problem with getting your right elbow to look like this, there's a specific reason why this actually happens.

Typically, this is going to be a byproduct of having too much lead arm, lead shoulder push in your swing, Which is one of the common mistakes that I saw over the last couple days was people trying to take that left arm and push it across your center, which in turn shuts your body turn down very, very quickly.

When you start doing that, and you start forcing your trail arm to get further and further back from behind you, you have no idea what sort of repercussions you're putting yourself into to recover from that spot.

That puts you in a spot where you actively have to push your hands and arms back out in front.

That's the last thing you want, because that forces you to have all sorts of plane shift and forces you to start throwing the club out away from you, which is a loss of lag, all the fun stuff.

Your job is to try to keep your right up in line with your torso.

There, this is very much a variable as well, so we talk about elevation being a variable, and we talk about your right elbow position being a variable.

Now, your right arm.

Okay, we talked a little bit about this on Saturday.

Or your right shoulder is going to have some mobility, most of you will have a lot of mobility, some of you won't, okay, so for those of you who want to test this at home.

If you hold your right arm directly out in front of your body and you flex it to about 80 or 90 degrees, okay.

And then you just hold everything still and you just move your your hand away from your face here, like you're doing a backwards windshield wiper.

Is that the best way to explain it?

It's always like you're just going to give somebody a quick smack.

Some of you will be able to make some good move in here.

Some of you won't.

Some of you will be like, that's as far as I can do it.

Again, this is all based off of how much mobility you have up in your shoulder.

You don't need a ton of it.

Now, a great way to be able to get your right elbow into this position at the top of the golf swing, and this is a really big point that we want you to write down in your notes, is from the address position.

When you start working, From the bottom up to the top of the swing, which is the next piece.

We want you to keep your forearms and your elbows close together.

Okay, we don't want you to be tense to do this.

It's not a workout program, okay, but we want you to keep your elbows and your forearms close together.

Okay, this is going to force your humerus to externally rotate, and it's going to help hold your right elbow in line.

So now what we're going to show you is the next part of the progression.

Okay, this is again, this is back.

Some related stuff we're going to talk about transition and post-up here in just a moment.

Okay, so now, as Craig's done a bunch of rest breaks, Turn his body up to the top.

He's taking his right hand and putting it on the top of the club.

Now he's going to start doing it from the bottom.

Your job from the bottom is to just think about nothing else but weight shift and body turn.

Your hands and your arms are going 1000 to typically want to do a whole lot more 1001 here.

Just try to keep the arms relaxed 1002 and just start turning.

Keep turning as 1003 much as you can.

Try to keep that right 1004 hand and right arm passively straight and 1005 as relaxed as you can.

More or less going 1006 to become the governor of width.

1007 When you get to the top of the swing, 1008 you're going to notice that your right 1009 arm flexes automatically.

But now 1010 remember.

The big pieces that we're 1011 looking for is loading into this right 1012 side and making sure that you've turned 1013 your body fully.

1014 Now, The other parts that we just talked 1015 about, as far as checkpoints are 1016 concerned, are going to be there.

Based 1017 off of the right hand and right arm, just 1018 following along with movements.

Follow 1019 along with the movements and keep your 1020 forms and elbows close together.

And you 1021 will end up in that really sexy spot that 1022 everybody calls being on plank, right?

1023 And I know every a lot of 1024 Because that old adage, you know, the 1025 rubber band around the arms.

Right.

Like 1026 people get set up and they get so locked 1027 into this position.

Right.

That nothing 1028 can happen now.

So we're saying have some 1029 awareness that they're together.

But we 1030 don't want you trying to squeeze your 1031 elbows and, you know, kiss them together 1032 right here.

Because that's going to limit 1033 how much you can rotate and get these 1034 arms elevated to the top.

Right.

Exactly.

1035 And this is why the worker connects such 1036 a successful training game for us.

1037 Because.

What that does is it helps you 1038 maintain that connection.

Now, I'm never 1039 a big advocate for training Aids because 1040 of the fact that it doesn't necessarily 1041 build as much kinesthetic awareness that 1042 you need, but it does give you a good 1043 reference point as you start moving 1044 through the drill.

1045 It's a very, very good training aid.

1046 That's why we have so few training aids 1047 for sale on the website, because of the 1048 fact that we've had everything thrown at 1049 us.

You should see one of the rooms in my 1050 house.

That people will just mail us 1051 everything and they want us to test stuff 1052 out here on a regular basis.

1053 It's funny.

I've got some really funny 1054 stories about testing, training, Aids.

To 1055 see if they're going to even make the 1056 cut, to even pass along to Chuck to see 1057 if they get ready for sale.

Because, 1058 again, we want you guys to have the best 1059 of the best out there.

And there's a lot 1060 of stuff.

1061 I love the messages where it's like, see 1062 if you can break my training aid.

1063 Prove to me it doesn't work.

1064 Usually it's like, all right, one swing 1065 and it doesn't work.

1066 They're like, how did that happen?

Right.

1067 So some of you want to ask a question 1068 about some training.

All right.

So the 1069 idea is, in order to build the arm 1070 positions into your backswing, is you're 1071 going to start out left arm only, and 1072 you're going to do the stuff that we 1073 talked about on Saturday.

And then you're 1074 going to take the right hand and right 1075 arm, and you're going to just go up and 1076 touch the side of the golf club.

You're 1077 just going to be up there to help 1078 support.

1079 Then once you get this position into a 1080 good spot, Then we want you to start from 1081 the bottom and then move up to that same 1082 spot with the right hand just touching 1083 the side of the club.

Do not wrap your 1084 hand around it.

Now, the reason for that 1085 is, again, as soon as you start wrapping 1086 your hand around it, your brain is going 1087 to get a signal to the things that you've 1088 already done in the past.

And we're going 1089 to see your body turn shut down.

You're 1090 going to start creating a whole lot of 1091 momentum and inertia in the golf club 1092 that's going to be working against you.

1093 And you're going to see that your 1094 positions are going to be very 1095 lackluster.

1096 So what we want you to do is just now 1097 touch the side of the golf club and then 1098 follow along.

When you get to the point 1099 where your right hand and right arm are 1100 cooperating and you've met the criteria 1101 of what we're looking for with good body 1102 turn.

Make sure that your head's not 1103 getting too far with the ball.

Make sure 1104 you've got load into your right hip and 1105 your right leg.

1106 Now what we want you to do is start 1107 working through the other pieces.

1108 Transition and post up.

What we're going 1109 to do from this spot is we're going to 1110 start squatting the square.

1111 Now remember, the lead arm is going to 1112 start to come down from this position.

1113 Well, so will the right hand.

It's 1114 reacting to these movements.

You're 1115 creating action through your legs and 1116 you're letting the upper half of the body 1117 react.

That's the whole big ticket item 1118 here.

Then from there, you're going to go 1119 ahead and make sure that you post up.

And 1120 now your hands are going to come down in 1121 front of your trail thigh.

And that's it.

1122 Now, 1123 the same positions apply here.

You want 1124 to look at it from your legs first.

Hips 1125 open 35 to 45.

1126 You want to make sure that your shoulder 1127 line is nice and square.

Then, you want 1128 to make sure that your lead side of your 1129 body is pretty close to being fully 1130 stacked up.

You're going to notice with 1131 the right hand on the belt foot that 1132 typically you're going to have your right 1133 shoulder.

Want to peak down a little bit 1134 more.

You're going to see it kind of drop 1135 down a little bit more.

Remember, The 1136 secondary axis tilt that you're going to 1137 see when this is all said and done and we 1138 get to impact is just going to be where 1139 your spine is just outside your leading, 1140 kind of what Craig looks like right now, 1141 okay?

1142 So the positions are going to be exactly 1143 the same as far as hands and arms are 1144 concerned, though, okay?

Now, one really 1145 big point here, and this is something 1146 that we've seen over the last two camps 1147 specifically, because Craig and I, we 1148 talked about this before we came on 1149 tonight, did we want to allow them to 1150 have their right hand wrapped fully 1151 around the club?

And I think we both 1152 agreed that let's just keep it light for 1153 now until we get to Saturday.

So for now, 1154 between now and Saturday, point of finger 1155 in your thumb.

Okay, that's all we want 1156 touching the golf club now.

One big 1157 mistake that we saw develop over those 1158 last couple camps is that when they start 1159 making, when you start making your move 1160 over to your lead side, is that.

1161 Immediately the wrists and the forearms 1162 started to create separation.

Okay, so 1163 you see the right elbow gets separated 1164 back here because you're trying so hard 1165 to be so passive with the right arm.

1166 Because you've heard us talk about all 1167 these horror stories in the golfing 1168 world, about what your right arm can do, 1169 right?

Well, Again, it's okay for it to 1170 stay exactly where it was in relationship 1171 to the left arm, through the bottom of 1172 the swing, up to the top, and even on the 1173 way down.

So, a focus point for you that 1174 you can write in your notes here is that 1175 we still want you to keep your forearms 1176 and your elbows close together.

As soon 1177 as you start making that move in 1178 transition, don't let your right elbow 1179 stay back behind you.

Your hands and your 1180 arms move back in behind your body.

This 1181 is the depth dimension of the golf swing.

1182 We need things to move back in this 1183 direction.

1184 If you leave your right elbow behind you, 1185 on the way down, guess what you're gonna 1186 have to do with it?

Well, at the release 1187 point of the golf swing, you're gonna 1188 have to push it back out in front of you, 1189 and that will cause the worst kind of 1190 chaos in your release.

That causes the 1191 flip, that causes the rate of rotation to 1192 be much higher, that causes playing 1193 shift, 1194 okay, and those sorts of things lead to 1195 ball striking nightmares, okay?

That's 1196 kind of what I dealt with when I played 1197 professionally, is my right arm stayed a 1198 little bit behind me, and I had to 1199 actively force it out in front of me, and 1200 that's what forced me to hit big, quick 1201 hooks.

And you can't literally survive on 1202 a big, quick hook that comes out of 1203 nowhere.

So you have to remember.

The 1204 movements that we're going to be creating 1205 here are going to help move the hands and 1206 arms gradually in front of your body, 1207 right?

So, in order for us to be able to 1208 do that, it's imperative that you write 1209 in your notes.

I will keep my forearms 1210 and my elbows close together when I make 1211 my move over to my lead side and when I 1212 make my post a move.

A lot of times it'll 1213 happen.

When you start working from 1214 transition to post up, you'll start 1215 leaving that right elbow back and behind 1216 him, so he transitions.

1217 And then he posts up and then his right 1218 arm's gone.

Okay, this is a big time 1219 stuck position.

So you're going to allow 1220 it to just follow along with the left arm 1221 movements.

Now, What we've done here is 1222 we've given you the specific checkpoints 1223 that you're going to be looking for in 1224 the slides.

Okay, these are very much in 1225 line with what you saw on Saturday.

It's 1226 the exact same position now with both 1227 hands on the golf ball.

Okay, these are 1228 what we want your positions to look like 1229 as you come down.

Okay, again, it's not 1230 changing anything now that the right hand 1231 and right arm is on there.

It's going to 1232 be the exact same spot as it was with 1233 your lead on, that's it, right, piece of 1234 cake, right?

So what we did was is just 1235 try to keep it as simple as possible for 1236 these next four days.

Because you have so 1237 much to do to get this stuff ready to 1238 rock and roll for Saturday.

Okay, and we 1239 want to talk to you guys a little bit 1240 more about your plan, right?

We want to 1241 talk about how to get this stuff moving 1242 as quickly as you possibly can.

Now, I 1243 know on Saturday, I alluded to this a 1244 little bit, where I talked about.

We're 1245 going to be doing more reps than than 1246 what you're going to see on the slides 1247 here.

We'd like for you to get as many 1248 reps as you can.

If you have time to do 1249 200 or 300 reps in a day, more power to 1250 you.

1251 Obviously, 100 reps is kind of your 1252 baseline number that we want you to try 1253 to get after.

But if you get 200 or 300 1254 reps of these things, go after it.

The 1255 more reps you get in, The more likely.

1256 You're going to be able to move with some 1257 fluidity so that you can start moving 1258 from a set up position all the way to the 1259 top of the backswing.

1260 Squat to square and you can come down in 1261 the hitting area and you can get ready to 1262 deliver.

Okay, so all of these movements 1263 is setting us up to be able to let the 1264 thing fly, which you're going to see on 1265 Saturday what happens when we do that.

1266 1267 you know, that's really it.

Okay, there's 1268 nothing that's changing from what we 1269 talked about on Saturday.

And I know a 1270 lot of you at home are like, that's what 1271 we just waited on.

That's it?

That's what 1272 we waited for this couple of days for?

1273 That's it.

Okay, it's your right hand is 1274 just going to be more or less following 1275 along with moves.

We gave you some 1276 specific points that we want you to keep 1277 an eye on.

We want you from an address 1278 position to make sure that you keep your 1279 forearms and elbows close together.

to 1280 make sure that you get that right arm in 1281 the correct spot on the top.

We want you 1282 to make sure that you understand that.

1283 It's going to help you elevate the hands 1284 and arms at the top of the swing as a 1285 support brace.

But then from there, it's 1286 following along.

It's not doing anything 1287 from the top of the swing down.

It's 1288 literally following the movements of the 1289 left arm.

Right.

And one thing that I 1290 want to throw out, if you start to see 1291 things fail, Chris and I get this 1292 question all the time.

When I'm doing my 1293 dead drill, how do I know when it's time 1294 for me to move on?

Or how do I know I 1295 have enough reps?

If you start adding 1296 this trail hand and you see one little 1297 fault, like one kind of new little fall 1298 pop up.

Get some reps in, fix it, work it 1299 out.

But if the whole thing gets thrown 1300 out the window, I can't stress enough.

1301 Just delete that variable.

If you didn't 1302 have a problem going from here and 1303 shifting up and squatting the square and 1304 posting everything's good.

But all of a 1305 sudden you add this trail hand and now 1306 you've got seven things broken.

Then you 1307 need to step back and need to put more 1308 reps in the prior 1309 session because you're not ready to add 1310 that component yet.

1311 Exactly.

And so now what I would like to 1312 do before we start opening up for 1313 questions is I'm going to walk you 1314 through a workout program that's going to 1315 be great for you.

And we're going to 1316 strip it down to where we don't have a 1317 golf club in there.

And I'm going to 1318 start doing a more condensed version of 1319 the reps.

But this is how we want you to 1320 start practicing this stuff at home and 1321 working your way up to where you have 1322 both hands on it.

And this is something 1323 that you can use on a day-to-day basis, 1324 even when we're done camp, or even over 1325 the next year or two years.

1326 The more you start feeding your brain 1327 these correct movements at whatever speed 1328 you desire, the less likely your old 1329 habits are going to start to show up.

1330 Again, your brain needs to be fed.

When 1331 we start letting the clock release and 1332 you're moving through this position, your 1333 brain's going to go, ding, now this feels 1334 like a golf swing.

That's when it's 1335 really time to start feeding it.

1336 What I want you to do is, for those of 1337 you at home that want to stand up and go 1338 through these movements with us, more 1339 power to you.

1340 I think most of you have been doing that 1341 because we've been seeing the swing 1342 review process.

1343 If you want to stand up and go through 1344 this with us, perfectly fine.

We're going 1345 to do a bunch of reps based on, we're 1346 going to do a bunch of reps down the 1347 line, and then we're going to open up for 1348 questions.

Okay, so we're going to go 1349 ahead and take our setup positions.

We're 1350 going to do this without the arms in the 1351 golf club at first.

Again, we're going to 1352 follow a level of progression here.

Okay, 1353 we're going to make sure that we're two 1354 inches outside of neutral joint 1355 alignment.

1356 Okay, we're going to make sure that we 1357 have ourselves hinged from our hips with 1358 a little bit of knee flex.

We've got to 1359 make sure that we have a little tiny bit 1360 of axis tilt.

Our weight distribution is 1361 what, Craig?

50-50.

50-50.

Okay, so we're 1362 not leaning one way or the other.

We've 1363 got 50-50.

Okay, now we're ready to start 1364 this whole process.

1365 So the way I want you to start out, push 1366 that right ankle on the ground, pull that 1367 right shoulder back.

Piece of cake.

1368 Body's really coiled up.

You should feel 1369 a little bit of load.

You know, 90% of 1370 your weight underneath that right ankle.

1371 Make sure that you feel that midsection.

1372 You're going to feel really coiled up.

1373 Now from here, we're going to squat to 1374 square, 1375 and you're going to feel about 60% of 1376 that weight underneath that left ankle, 1377 left shoulder down, right shoulder up.

A 1378 position now that we're ready to start 1379 our post-up move.

So we're going to begin 1380 that post-up by driving that ankle on the 1381 ground.

We're going to feel like we're 1382 pulling that trail or that lead hip up 1383 and away.

We're pulling that back up and 1384 away from the golf ball.

You're going to 1385 make that lead leg work to a passively 1386 straight position.

You're going to feel 1387 rock solid stable.

Your hips are going to 1388 be open right around 35 or 45 degrees.

1389 Your shoulder line is nice and square.

1390 Now let's speed it up a little bit.

Arms 1391 still across the shoulders.

Right ankle 1392 on the ground.

Right shoulder back.

Squat 1393 to square.

1394 Post up.

1395 Let's do three more reps.

1396 Right ankle.

Right shoulder.

Squat to 1397 square, post up.

1398 Right ankle, right shoulder, squat to 1399 square, post up.

You can see how Craig's 1400 moving pretty quickly now.

Right ankle, 1401 right shoulder, squat to square, post up.

1402 He's even beating me right now.

1403 Right ankle, right shoulder, squat to 1404 square, post up.

1405 Now we've warmed up.

Pretty simple warm 1406 up.

For those of you at home that want to 1407 do more reps, let's just say you want to 1408 break your rep sessions up into maybe 25 1409 of those reps, do it.

That's perfectly 1410 fine.

Okay, now what we're going to do is 1411 we're going to add all l lead arm up.

1412 Okay, how's that, my Espanol?

All right?

1413 So now lead arm is now going to be 1414 hanging here freely.

Okay, we're going to 1415 make sure that we're using the same 1416 setup.

Remember, don't try to move from 1417 the arm, let your body move your arm.

1418 Okay, really important point here.

Push 1419 the right ankle on the ground, turn the 1420 right shoulder, pull the right shoulder 1421 back behind your head.

Okay, squat to 1422 square.

Post up lead arm comes down in 1423 front of your body, right in the middle 1424 of your trail thigh.

Not out here.

Not in 1425 here.

It's right in the middle of your 1426 trail fight.

It's hanging there.

It's 1427 pretty relaxed.

It's like a Kenny G 1428 concert.

Way to have it.

1429 Make sure you look at it from the ground 1430 up.

Hips are going to be open 35.

1431 Make sure that your shoulders are right 1432 around square.

1433 Right foot is down on the floor.

It's 1434 rolled in just a little bit.

Left arm 1435 hanging freely there.

1436 Right ankle on the ground.

Big body turn.

1437 Squat to square.

Post up.

Lead arm comes 1438 down.

Hanging there nice and freely.

It's 1439 not pushed out away from his body.

He's 1440 in a nice, relaxed position.

He's all 1441 ready to start letting the thing release 1442 and fly past his body.

Let's turn down 1443 the line and do a couple reps here.

1444 Make sure that you remember to focus on a 1445 little bit of knee flex at a dress.

Just 1446 small amounts of knee flex.

You don't 1447 need a ton of knee flex here.

Just a 1448 little bit.

Just enough to soften the 1449 knees.

Butt back.

Chest over the golf 1450 ball.

1451 Lead arm is just hanging there freely.

1452 It's not out away from his body.

It's 1453 just hanging underneath his shoulder.

1454 It's like.

A floppy noodle, okay?

Make 1455 sure a lot of you at home are focusing on 1456 feeling like you're holding the golf 1457 club.

Okay, because again, you need to 1458 feed your brain the correct way.

It's not 1459 sitting there with your arm way out of 1460 way from your body.

You never hold the 1461 golf ball like that, right?

It's not 1462 pulled back into your body.

Really tight 1463 up against your chest, let your arm hang 1464 down there, free.

Okay, now, from this 1465 position, we want to push that right 1466 ankle on the ground, you want to make big 1467 body turn.

Remember, you're going to feel 1468 that right shoulder up and that left 1469 shoulder move down.

Your job is to get 1470 your shoulder line perpendicular to your 1471 spine.

I'm going to squat to square.

Lead 1472 arm comes down to where it's parallel to 1473 the ground.

Notice how his lead hand is 1474 right towards the center of his chest.

He 1475 posts up.

Let his left arm come down in 1476 front of his body.

Okay, so let's now 1477 pick up the pace a little bit.

Right 1478 ankle, big body turn.

Squat to square.

1479 Post up.

Good.

1480 Right ankle, big body turn.

Squat to 1481 square.

Post up.

Okay, let's see you 1482 blend it.

1483 Okay, Those positions right there are 1484 going to be easily achieved for you at 1485 home.

That really take your time to make 1486 sure that you hit these key points that 1487 we've talked about.

Now, key points that 1488 we've talked about, making sure that you 1489 get set up well, make sure that these 1490 pieces are all in a good spot, making 1491 sure that you load to your right side, 1492 make sure you get a good body turn, 1493 making sure that you shift properly over 1494 to your lead side, Which is a common 1495 mistake that I saw the last couple days, 1496 where people are still trying to hang 1497 their upper body back.

You load over to 1498 this right side beautifully.

You're 1499 loading that right hip up, you're turning 1500 your body, And all of a sudden, you just 1501 start shifting your pelvis, and your 1502 upper body wants to just kind of stay 1503 back where it is.

Remember, allow the 1504 upper body to more or less fall back into 1505 position.

A great way to measure it is 1506 just measure it through your head 1507 position, because if you load your trail 1508 side up, your head should move an inch to 1509 an inch and a half or so.

If it doesn't, 1510 then you didn't load anything up.

You 1511 just stayed really centered, and in turn, 1512 you're not going to want to move.

If you 1513 load your trail side up, you're now 1514 giving yourself something to move off of.

1515 You can monitor this through the head 1516 position.

You're going to look at it from 1517 the legs first.

Make sure that your hips 1518 and knees stand back to virtually a 1519 square position.

Make sure that your lead 1520 shoulder is low.

And then look at your 1521 head.

Did it come back in his original 1522 spot?

Great.

Piece of cake.

And you know 1523 your weight transfer is in a good spot.

1524 And then from there, you can go ahead and 1525 begin your post up.

1526 Get that really, really rock solid lead 1527 leg.

Make sure that your hips are up at 1528 35 and 45.

Shoulder line nice and square.

1529 Okay?

So what fault did you do with a 1530 lot?

1531 The arm out of the way.

That was the one 1532 that I saw for the most part people 1533 really hitting their positions.

But when 1534 they were starting to add the club and 1535 add an arm in the reviews, 1536 They, as simple as it may sound, they 1537 forgot to hinge into position.

So they 1538 would start very tall, so where they get 1539 their spine, angle at almost 75 degrees 1540 to the sky.

And they have their arm and 1541 hand out here, and they're like, Craig, I 1542 don't know why I can't get to the 1543 position.

Or they get to here where 1544 they're kind of blocking out their head 1545 right here, or they're getting way 1546 stretched over here.

It's very important 1547 that you do this from the proper position 1548 size.

Chris had me a second ago when I 1549 was hinging forward and just letting my 1550 arm hang nice and neutrally right here.

1551 This is a position we want to start from 1552 and what we want to do every drill from.

1553 Because, you know, as we're going through 1554 this, all we're trying to do is just 1555 create good habits.

You know, when you 1556 start to create good habits, good things 1557 happen.

Like, you know, you wake up in 1558 the morning and you, you know, you fix 1559 yourself a good meal or a good breakfast 1560 to start out each day.

When you get good 1561 habits, good things are going to happen.

1562 Right.

So just like when you're doing 1563 your reps, if we just keep, you know, 1564 keep focusing on having good habits as 1565 we're practicing this.

1566 That's what we have to do, and that's one 1567 of my pet peeves because when I'm 1568 repping, I want it to look like a golf 1569 swing.

I want it to feel like a golf 1570 swing, and this is just a simple thing 1571 that can wreck the entire drill.

1572 100%.

Because when you start getting your 1573 hand and arm moved out away from your 1574 bottom, 1575 you have to remember that that's going to 1576 affect the swing plane pretty 1577 drastically.

1578 Now, I understand that Craig and I and 1579 Chuck, we talked concessantly about swing 1580 plane is completely consequential.

It's 1581 completely in the periphery.

And 1582 everything that we do with our body is 1583 going to affect swing plane.

But again, 1584 if you move your arm out of your body, 1585 it's going to start to make your swing 1586 plane look really flat, look really 1587 rounded off.

And then when you start 1588 getting flat and deep, then Craig and I 1589 are trying to figure out ways to be able 1590 to get things back out in front of you.

1591 So everything that we do here at Rugby 1592 Swing is requirements based.

Everything 1593 that you've heard us say over the last 1594 five sessions is all based off of a set 1595 of requirements.

So think about stance 1596 width here for a second.

Let's talk about 1597 stance width first and really understand 1598 what the requirements are of this.

Well, 1599 when you boil this down, what are we 1600 trying to do with this golf swing?

Well, 1601 the first thing that we're going to do is 1602 we want to stay balanced, right?

We want 1603 to stay as balanced and stable to the 1604 ground as we possibly can.

Now, let's 1605 think about that objectively for a 1606 second.

If I told Craig I want him to get 1607 really balanced and really stable, so I'm 1608 getting ready to come knock him over, 1609 okay, what's he going to do?

Well, he's 1610 going to get really, really wide and he's 1611 going to get really low, okay?

That's 1612 giving you a really good, solid base to 1613 be able to kind of fight off all the 1614 inertia that I'm going to be throwing in 1615 his direction.

Now, what's the problem 1616 with that in a golf swing?

Well, the 1617 other requirement is that we have got to 1618 be able to use weight shift.

So weight 1619 shift, if you start trying to move and 1620 load into your trail side here, it's 1621 going to force your head to have to move 1622 six miles.

And nobody wants to move that 1623 much of the muscle.

Believe me, I've seen 1624 it all week, right?

You guys are afraid 1625 to make this little lateral movement.

1626 That would be an abundance of it.

So 1627 you've got to remember that everything 1628 that we're doing here is all requirements 1629 based.

And that's why we love to sit here 1630 and answer questions, because the fact 1631 that everybody wants to know why they've 1632 heard.

1633 I had somebody break that book out during 1634 a golf lesson with me, and I was like, 1635 you put that book away.

1636 There's some good stuff in that book, but 1637 that book was written to fight off a 1638 hook, just so you guys understand that.

1639 I'm never going to bash the great Ben 1640 Hogan, but the only thing I really agreed 1641 with that in the book was something that 1642 Chuck said.

1643 Hogan talks about sitting down to rip off 1644 a square by Fair Lady.

It's like, you got 1645 to take your time and go through the 1646 learn the notes.

And then you 1647 progressively start stacking in pieces, 1648 and then eventually it becomes a song.

1649 Well, that's, you know, one of the Hogan 1650 things that's so funny about that as 1651 well, is when he first saw his swing on 1652 camera.

He's like, that's not me, because 1653 it didn't look like what it felt like to 1654 him.

And a lot of Hogan's book is based 1655 off what he felt all of it, because 1656 that's what he was trying to delay.

But 1657 the problem is, we know that feel isn't 1658 real, Right.

1659 Everything that we've talked about over 1660 these few sessions, again, It's going to 1661 coil back to the idea that we're trying 1662 to get you to hit the golf ball as far as 1663 we possibly can and as straight as we 1664 possibly can, but also remembering that 1665 we're trying to protect and preserve your 1666 body.

Think about that.

1667 There's a lot of golf instruction that's 1668 out there that claims to be body 1669 -friendly.

1670 I can't tell you.

I might even talk about 1671 this in one of our previous sessions.

1672 I was actually sitting on YouTube.

I fell 1673 into the trap where I was watching a 1674 YouTube video where somebody advertised 1675 himself as a body-friendly golf swing.

I 1676 watched it, and he's teaching his 1677 students, and he's got a very captive 1678 audience.

I was surprised because I was 1679 reading through the comments.

He's 1680 teaching his students reverse pivot.

1681 Now, your spine hates two things.

It 1682 hates sheer force.

It hates compression, 1683 bottom line.

1684 If you start working into a position 1685 where you're not loading your trailside 1686 properly, your hips become unstable, and 1687 you're getting your body to look like 1688 this, like Craig does, you're going to 1689 eventually hurt your back.

Okay, and it 1690 hurts my back, even having to look at it, 1691 okay.

So again, these things that there's 1692 a lot of information that's out there.

1693 And that's why we'd like to stick around 1694 and answer all the questions that you 1695 guys might have.

And I know tonight might 1696 seem really, really simple, but that's 1697 what we said, it was going to be simple.

1698 We don't want anything to change that 1699 we've done at this point.

We want your 1700 setup to be great, we want your weight 1701 shift and your body turn to be great.

We 1702 want your transition to be fantastic.

We 1703 want your post-up to be just as great.

1704 You get that done and you add arm 1705 movements that we talked about here from 1706 Saturday and today, 1707 then Saturday, this upcoming Saturday, 1708 becomes way more enjoyable.

Right?

1709 Did I miss anything there?

No, I think 1710 it's good.

I mean, I think that's it.

The 1711 main point is, and you already know, all 1712 we're doing is the exact same thing.

And, 1713 you know, Chris brings up the fact of, 1714 you know, looking at the swing from the 1715 ground up.

1716 think about this guy last.

1717 Don't focus on this guy.

If you get up 1718 to, so let's say you do a rep with this 1719 club and you're like, all right, I'm 1720 ready to add the trail hand.

I'm going to 1721 add these fingers and you get up here and 1722 you're like, oh, my club face is shut.

1723 That's not what we want you to focus on 1724 first.

What is broken down right here?

1725 Well, you can see that my shoulders 1726 aren't on plane, that I haven't gotten 1727 that part right.

I've already swung my 1728 lead arm across my chest.

Look at this 1729 guy last because everybody, when they 1730 start looking at this club, With that 1731 right hand on, if they're going to start, 1732 oh, well, I don't want to be shut at the 1733 top or open or it's laid off or it's 1734 across the line.

Make sure that you go 1735 through the protocol out to that point.

1736 We want this to be the last thing that 1737 you look at.

Right.

And so here's a good 1738 example of that.

So if you were to look 1739 at me from a downline perspective, okay, 1740 and you see that my hand and arm position 1741 looks pretty decent right here, right?

I 1742 look like I'm very modelsman.

But now if 1743 I turn face on, what you're going to see 1744 here is a whole lot of luck.

A whole lot 1745 of nothing, right?

You're going to see 1746 the body didn't do anything.

And so 1747 that's why as instructors, what we always 1748 ask you to do is we ask you to send it 1749 from both angles, right?

Because of the 1750 fact that you can make it look really 1751 good from a downline perspective.

But we 1752 have to be able to watch the loading 1753 sequence and the loading order as you're 1754 doing things.

If you looked at my golf 1755 swing at downline, you'd be like, wow, 1756 that looks pretty.

I mean, I can move in 1757 that spot all day long, right?

Look at 1758 that piece of cake, right?

I just made it 1759 look awesome.

But you have to remember, 1760 there's multiple, there's two planes in 1761 the golf swing, right?

There's a 1762 horizontal plane and there's a vertical 1763 plane.

And there's other things that your 1764 body need to be doing to be able to 1765 balance this stuff out.

And so that's why 1766 we spend so much time without your arms 1767 and your golf club in the mix.

Because 1768 it's honestly where you guys screw the 1769 pooch.

You forget about your thumbs.

You 1770 forget about your body.

You think about 1771 the golf swing in the reverse order.

You 1772 always look at it from the golf field 1773 first, and then you look at your hands 1774 and your arms.

Why?

Well, because that's 1775 the sexy part of golf, right?

Hands and 1776 arms working into a good spot at the top 1777 of the swing.

Got all kinds of lag.

I got 1778 a lag as far as wrecks.

I got impact 1779 pretty close.

Okay, great.

1780 But you've got to remember, there's all 1781 these moving parts that are helping aid 1782 the efficiency aspect of the swing, but 1783 also helping you protect your body.

Craig 1784 and I come out there and swing the golf 1785 club really fast with our hands and arms, 1786 but we're not going to be efficient.

I 1787 promise you right now, and it's going to 1788 be a very, very timed up move.

1789 I do this as an example for students that 1790 come in that want to do private 1791 instruction.

1792 As I'll sit there with my feet together, 1793 I'll hit golf balls at full speed.

1794 They're like, wow, look at that ball.

I'm 1795 like, 1796 big deal.

And I watch.

I'll get my stance 1797 with here, and I'll start loading the 1798 body up and start moving.

And they start 1799 seeing like, wow, that's even better.

I'm 1800 like, yeah, I'm working way less to do 1801 this sort of thing.

1802 Again, you can make the golf ball move 1803 really easy with your hands and your 1804 arms.

But it's the worst way to actually 1805 move the golf ball when it's all said and 1806 done.

So that's it, guys.

So your 1807 practice program over the next four days 1808 is to work at the speed that you're 1809 comfortable with.

We want everybody in 1810 this room to show up on Saturday, ready 1811 to get into the position that Craig's 1812 going to show you again.

Ready to come 1813 down and get ready to release this thing 1814 because you are going to hear some 1815 information.

For those of you that have 1816 even been through the boot camps.

Or 1817 you've sat and listened to all of our, 1818 um, all of our release drills on the 1819 website.

You're going to hear things 1820 different because we have different ways 1821 to explain this information to you every 1822 single time.

Because this, again, is 1823 where we start letting things fly.

And 1824 then there's some things that you have to 1825 be able to focus on.

And we're going to 1826 also give you a practice program on 1827 Saturday.

That's going to help you make 1828 this whole golf swing come together.

That 1829 you're going to try to get out to the 1830 range and get out to the golf course and 1831 start.

See any effects of it.

1832 So that's it.

So for those of you that 1833 want to stick around and ask questions, 1834 more power to you.

I see Arthur is 1835 checking out and headed to his member 1836 guest this weekend.

1837 Good luck.

I hope you take home the 1838 crystal.

1839 Keep us posted.

We always like to hear 1840 good stuff like that.

Even the bad stuff, 1841 you just love stuff.

Good or bad, love 1842 stuff because we want you to be 1843 successful.

And if things do go well, put 1844 it on our wall on the side.

I don't know 1845 if anybody's really checked that out.

1846 We have a wall on the side of our success 1847 story wall under the testimonial part.

1848 You're going to see a lot of really good 1849 stories of great improvement under there.

1850 I had a student the other day just post 1851 something where, I mean, he was shot like 1852 12 below his handicap.

1853 There's a lot of good stuff there.

Go 1854 check it out.

There's a lot of good stuff 1855 on the wall under the testimonial 1856 section.

We had a woman on Saturday after 1857 the session that emailed me that I'm 1858 working with her.

Seventh hole in one.

1859 Seven, I was like, I've only got four.

I 1860 mean, I gotta get back out of there and 1861 play golf again.

So, um, so now is a 1862 great time to ask questions again.

Super 1863 simple night.

We just wanted to kind of 1864 recap everything we've thrown at you.

Get 1865 you guys ready to rock and roll for 1866 Saturday?

If anything, we've covered over 1867 the first four sessions into tonight, so 1868 tonight would be number five.

Does it 1869 make any sense in your brain?

Or maybe 1870 you're not having an easy time with 1871 yourself, or maybe you're having a hard 1872 time with stance, with a grip.

There's 1873 not such thing as a stupid question.

1874 Okay, ask the questions, because if you 1875 don't have that information answered your 1876 brain, Then you're going to practice the 1877 wrong things, and then we're going to see 1878 it, and we're going to be like, what the 1879 hell are you doing?

We're going to fix 1880 1881 We're here to answer those things.

1882 We've got a question coming in.

What are 1883 the biggest mistakes with right arm?

My 1884 arm won't rotate at all when you did that 1885 demo.

How much pressure against the 1886 chest?

1887 The biggest mistakes when we add the 1888 right arm, The first one that you're 1889 going to see right away is the right arm 1890 is going to fold up really quickly.

The 1891 right arm is going to start folding up 1892 very quickly because of the fact that, 1893 again, We just moved this golf club six 1894 or almost seven feet, with just a 1895 movement from our hands and our arms.

1896 This is actually a very common drill.

1897 It's called the start the lawnmower 1898 drill, which has really kind of screwed 1899 the developing world to the umpteenth 1900 degree.

But when you start folding your 1901 right arm up really quickly, you've now 1902 collapsed your width.

But also what 1903 you've done is you've stopped your body 1904 from turning.

You've started loading up 1905 your reach over girl.

So that's one of 1906 the big things we'll see.

The other 1907 things that we'll see.

Is at the top of 1908 the golf swing.

I think the biggest 1909 mistake that we'll see over the next few 1910 days is.

The right arm is going to want 1911 to stay back where it is okay, it's going 1912 to want to start working back in the 1913 opposite direction, rather than following 1914 along with left.

Think about your left 1915 arm being a pilot, okay, and everything 1916 that you're doing, you want your co-pilot 1917 to follow along with.

Now, both of these 1918 arms are very capable of flying this 1919 airplane.

Okay, but you still, when it's 1920 all said and done, when you're in heavy 1921 turbulence, you want your pilot to 1922 handle, right?

You don't want this guy 1923 that's got, you know, a couple days out 1924 of school.

Or he's starting to try to 1925 take over things, so you want him to 1926 follow along.

And so taking the idea of 1927 just keeping the forearms and the elbows 1928 really close together and doing the same 1929 sorts of things that you did.

Left arm 1930 only will move it down into the position.

1931 What you see Craig in right now, so those 1932 are the two biggest faults that we'll 1933 probably see now.

As far as pressure 1934 against the chest at the top of the 1935 swing, this is one thing that Craig and 1936 Craig always like.

Talks about a video 1937 that I redid in the past, the three 1938 functions of the right arm, which is in 1939 the backswing section.

And I did an 1940 example in that video, where on the 1941 the non-remastered version, the original 1942 version where we had the towel across our 1943 chest.

Okay, that's, I'm sure.

It's a 1944 video that you guys have all seen, where 1945 you've been taught to keep the arms 1946 across your chest and turn your body.

1947 Okay, now, the problem with that drill is 1948 that it just sacrifices all your width, 1949 okay, and width is a really important 1950 part to the skull swing.

So, as far as 1951 the connection between your chest is 1952 concerned, think about the very tippy top 1953 of your bicep and the very tippy top of 1954 your chest as being the only connection 1955 point.

It's a very, very small amount.

1956 You could even stick maybe a T up there.

1957 That would be the connection point.

You 1958 don't want to have your arm jammed into 1959 your side.

1960 If you do, you're now sacrificing weight, 1961 and you're going to make it harder for 1962 you to be able to move back into 1963 transition anyways.

1964 It's okay for the arm to be up.

It's okay 1965 for it to be in the position that we're 1966 talking about.

Again, just maintain that 1967 connection right up at the very top of 1968 the bicep and the top of the chest.

You 1969 see it's separated in this direction, and 1970 your right elbow is going to look like 1971 it's flared back and behind you.

You're 1972 going to have that flying elbow kind of 1973 look.

1974 That's an exaggerated version.

1975 I always exaggerate because it gets the 1976 point across because they remember.

1977 So that was an exaggerated version, 1978 obviously.

But even that version right 1979 there is less exaggerated.

And you can 1980 see that there's no connection up here.

1981 So you want to just maintain a little bit 1982 of connection up there.

So great 1983 question.

1984 So you guys have been awesome.

1985 Between the screen reviews and your 1986 questions, it's been really, really 1987 great.

So we always see some really 1988 ridiculous questions that people ask.

1989 What I'm like, we didn't even talk about 1990 that, but we like to talk about it 1991 because it gives us some of the right.

1992 All right, So, um, Mark says, You guys 1993 are awesome.

Thank you Mark.

Thank you 1994 Mark.

That was my celebration dance.

All 1995 right anyways, all right.

So should we 1996 wait until Saturday, no matter what, to 1997 hit practice balls at home, even if the 1998 swing is looking good?

Daniel This is 1999 the.

This is a very hard question to 2000 answer at this point.

2001 Those of you at home probably want to 2002 hear a Muppet.

2003 Daniel, you can listen.

You can hit balls 2004 anytime you want.

2005 We told you at the very start of this, we 2006 don't ever want to shy anybody from 2007 playing and practicing.

You can do that.

2008 We just want you to make sure that these 2009 movements that you have are ironclad 2010 impacts.

2011 There's ways that you can start measuring 2012 these sorts of things.

We'll talk a 2013 little bit about swing playing and what 2014 you're going to be looking for and how to 2015 measure your impact positions on 2016 Saturday.

2017 If you get a chance to hit balls, then 2018 hit balls.

2019 You better make sure that these are in a 2020 pretty decent body.

We don't want you to 2021 erase all the hard work you've done at 2022 this spot.

So if you want to wait, you 2023 want to do more reps on the core 2024 movements that we've done here, by all 2025 means, do so.

Like I said to you guys at 2026 the start of the session, I've seen some 2027 people that have pretty decent baseline 2028 golf swings, being diligent and 2029 disciplined enough to strip this stuff 2030 down and do these big movements.

And I 2031 was actually kind of taken aback by that.

2032 That shows you, it shows us that you guys 2033 trust in us and you understand that these 2034 processes are in place.

A lot of people 2035 don't understand neuromuscular re 2036 -education.

Let's just boil this stuff 2037 down and tell you what it's all about.

If 2038 you don't understand neuromuscular re 2039 -education, then you need to take your 2040 ticket and sit out for a little bit, 2041 right?

Because it takes a long time for 2042 the brain to be able to process this 2043 stuff.

It takes 3,000, 5,000 repetitions.

2044 You can sit here all night and try to do 2045 that.

You're not going to make it, right?

2046 So your brain needs time to be able to 2047 get this.

It's a biological process, 2048 right?

Think about biological processes.

2049 P?

P is about to get a cut, right?

2050 So you can't necessarily speed that stuff 2051 up.

It just has to happen.

2052 So you can hit ball, 2053 okay?

Yeah.

2054 All right.

2055 Got a big question.

All right.

Duck says, 2056 are you wearing a duck?

No, no, no.

Okay.

2057 Just want to confirm head position during 2058 parts of swim.

Back swing head shifts 2059 away from target approximately 0.

5 to an 2060 inch.

We'll say an inch to an inch and a 2061 half, 2062 okay?

So you'll see about an inch or an 2063 inch and a half of movement.

2064 So squat to square head shifts back to 2065 target approximately to set up position, 2066 possibly slightly lower than set up.

Yep.

2067 So post-up head height roughly same as 2068 squat to square.

Yep.

During post-up, 2069 Does the head move horizontally any 2070 closer to the target or stay in the same 2071 position as squat to square?

Stay exactly 2072 in the same spot.

Once you've got 2073 yourself into position, hold still.

Okay.

2074 Stay right where you are.

Because I did 2075 see some people.

Actually allow their 2076 upper body to kind of chase over to this 2077 position, and that's again a lot of 2078 times.

People will rely on momentum and 2079 inertia that they're creating through 2080 either excessive amounts of rotation to 2081 be the driving force of their lateral 2082 movement.

Let's talk about that for a 2083 second, because I'm sure a lot of you're 2084 at home.

Like, what the hell would 2085 Christian say?

So I'll I'll give you an 2086 example.

So if I've moved off the ball in 2087 the summit and I start to shift, okay, 2088 notice where my head is all right now, 2089 I'm going to start really posting off, 2090 and then you see my head move in this 2091 direction 2092 Again, That was all being facilitated by 2093 late movement, being driven by either 2094 excess amounts of turn or lots of right 2095 side shove.

2096 So yes, in that first part of the 2097 transition, allow your head to come back 2098 into its position, maybe even giving you 2099 the appearance of a slight in front.

You 2100 are going to see it drop down a little 2101 bit if you're being diligent about 2102 sitting down onto that left leg.

Again, 2103 that's a variable, So we don't want to 2104 give you kind of a number where we say an 2105 inch.

Or just maintain a little bit of 2106 composure with this, because it is a move 2107 that's often overdone.

2108 But your example of what you just wrote 2109 down here.

Everybody should copy and 2110 paste that and put it in their notes.

2111 Because it's a very clear understanding 2112 as to what we're looking for.

But you can 2113 increase it more than a half inch, going 2114 back, you can move up to an inch.

Okay, 2115 because if you're not moving enough, then 2116 you do run the risk of reverse pivoting, 2117 okay?

And weight shift is extremely 2118 important to any hitting or throwing 2119 sport.

You start taking out weight shift, 2120 then you're going to rely on a whole lot 2121 more body turn, a whole lot more arm 2122 strength.

Okay, all right, so 2123 Maybe you guys are hyper-focused again.

2124 Questions are really quiet.

2125 Talk a little bit more about chest being 2126 over the ball.

2127 Okay, I missed that one.

Sorry, Robert.

2128 Could you say a bit more about what you 2129 mean about your chest should be over the 2130 ball at set?

This is going to be 2131 dependent on how much you hinge from your 2132 hips and where your true balance points 2133 are.

2134 Remember, True balance is best defined if 2135 you were to stand up at home.

And you 2136 were to just go ahead and lean over your 2137 toes and then rock over your heels and go 2138 back and forth.

2139 Close your eyes.

2140 Okay, and you want to just make sure you 2141 feel you come to rest for your most 2142 balance Okay, you're gonna feel it You're 2143 gonna feel your whole foot spread out to 2144 the ground, But you're gonna feel a bulk 2145 of your weight underneath your ankle 2146 joint.

Now I want you to take notice of 2147 where that weight is, and now when you 2148 start to hinge from your hips, Okay, 2149 but you're gonna notice is your butt's 2150 gonna go back your chest is gonna go over 2151 the golf ball Okay, And you're keeping 2152 your legs locked up straight, almost like 2153 you're doing a hamstring stretch.

And 2154 what you'll notice about Craig's feet 2155 here is as he's hinging, his butt's going 2156 back and his chest is coming over the 2157 ball.

Here is.

His toes have become very 2158 light.

2159 Now, that weight has now moved to his 2160 severe side of his heel.

Now, when he 2161 takes his knees and he just softens them, 2162 watch for his feet here.

2163 Now, He's moved back into that true 2164 balance point that you just took notice 2165 of when you were doing that little 2166 balance drill that you were just focusing 2167 2168 To get yourself over the golf ball, 2169 You're going to hinge from your hips to 2170 make sure that your butt goes back and 2171 your chest goes over the ball.

How far do 2172 you hinge?

Well, you want to hinge to the 2173 point where you can see the golf ball.

2174 Without your chin going down into your 2175 chest, okay, and at that point you should 2176 feel your kind of your weight going back 2177 towards your hips.

So great question 2178 there, all right.

So if we have questions 2179 after Saturday, can we email you guys?

2180 So, Arthur?

Unfortunately, we can't do 2181 that because we would never get excited, 2182 but what you can do after Saturday is.

2183 You can post them up in the forums or you 2184 can continue to use the swim reviews on 2185 the website.

That's a great way to be 2186 able to communicate with us, right?

2187 That's, you know, when you have the swing 2188 reviews, you can ask the questions in 2189 there.

If you have unlimited reviews.

You 2190 can even submit a video that's an old 2191 video and just say, Hey, here's a 2192 question for you.

It's a great way for us 2193 to be able to articulate and communicate.

2194 Um, so we get, unfortunately, we get 2195 bombarded every single day of our lives 2196 with people that aren't part of our camps 2197 or part of the website.

Because we have 2198 other videos that are in circulation and 2199 people can find us and they ask us to do 2200 some sort of work for them, as far as you 2201 know, looking at their swings, or 2202 whatever it might be.

And there's a lot 2203 of people in this dolphin world, okay, a 2204 lot of people.

And I'm not saying that we 2205 don't want to help as many people as we 2206 can, but we have these certain avenues 2207 that we'd like to be used so that we can 2208 maintain a level of.

Right.

And we've had 2209 in the past people abuse it a little bit, 2210 where they start sending YouTube links or 2211 training devices and stuff like that.

The 2212 best thing to do, as Chris said, they're 2213 an unlimited review group.

You can just 2214 submit as much as you want, pose the 2215 question.

But use the forums.

If you 2216 notice, under every single video, you'll 2217 see myself or Chris.

Answering every 2218 single question, if it's, you know what 2219 we're doing with adding this real arm 2220 here?

Go to the five and say, Hey, I'm 2221 struggling with this.

And we'll be right 2222 there and answer it in a very short 2223 amount of time, right?

Exactly.

So, all 2224 right.

So, Lee says.

I have a hard time 2225 keeping my upper body relaxed.

Once I 2226 pull my right shoulder back, I feel tense 2227 my shoulders all the way through.

Post 2228 -up, I try to focus on my hips.

My left 2229 arm is getting into position, but I think 2230 it'd be better off my shoulders and arms 2231 could show out advice.

So, upper body 2232 relax once I pull my right shoulder back.

2233 I feel tension in my shoulders all the 2234 way through post up.

So you're going to 2235 feel a little bit in your left shoulder 2236 as you start moving the hands and arms in 2237 vertical plane.

So you're going to feel 2238 some up here.

If you're feeling some 2239 tension in the trail shoulder though, 2240 Then you're going to want to make sure 2241 that at the top of the ball swing, you 2242 don't have any sort of shrugging to it.

2243 Okay, this is a very common mistake that 2244 we see with people.

So what you can do is 2245 once you complete your backswing, just 2246 take your right shoulder and shrug it 2247 really tight to your right ear and then 2248 depress it.

2249 And you can feel the tension come out 2250 through the shoulders and the arms.

And 2251 then hold it static for a second, and 2252 then move down to the bottom, and then 2253 come right back up to that same spot, 2254 trying to feel like your right shoulder 2255 stays in that more of a depressed 2256 position.

But you will feel a little bit 2257 in the leg shoulder.

If you're feeling 2258 that trail shoulder getting loaded up, 2259 then we've got to make sure that you 2260 don't have any of that big shrugging up 2261 there.

Right.

And an easy way to kind of 2262 see that, I mean, I tell people all the 2263 time, when they get up here towards the 2264 top, they kind of see their trail 2265 shoulder.

2266 Scratching their ear for them, more than 2267 likely, they're adding all this 2268 shrugging.

It's kind of like when you're 2269 sitting at a desk and you start to shrug 2270 over, go up to the top, try to shrug as 2271 high as you can.

And then depress it.

And 2272 you'll really realize how much tension 2273 you're adding that you don't need, right?

2274 All right, so great.

Yeah, a great 2275 question here.

So what is the acceptable 2276 range of motion for the right elbow at 2277 the top and back?

So you don't seem to 2278 have enough flexibility to keep it long?

2279 So you have very restricted, you have a 2280 very restricted mobility in your right 2281 shoulder, so add a dress.

Okay, the 2282 amount of space that you have between 2283 your forearms and your elbows, okay, 2284 that's typically the space that we want 2285 to see you maintain up to the top of the 2286 swing.

This should be a pretty relaxed 2287 spot, okay?

And when you start flexing 2288 your right arm, it should be pretty easy 2289 for you to be able to keep that stuff in 2290 place.

If you notice that, it flares back 2291 just a little bit, not a huge deal, but 2292 just remember this can start changing the 2293 pitch of the shaft at the top of the 2294 swing.

Okay, turn down the line for real 2295 quick.

So for those of you that see, the 2296 club gets a little bit more upright at 2297 the top of the swing.

2298 Okay, and you see your right elbow flared 2299 back, now, watch what happens to the 2300 shaft plane as soon as we start taking 2301 right elbow.

Okay, so you see how it 2302 flattens it a little bit.

So all this is 2303 again, that's what we call it a variable, 2304 okay, variables being that it's not 100 2305 iron flat.

Because the fact that you can 2306 have little, tiny bits of adjustment 2307 here, okay, that just helps set it a 2308 little bit more on plane at the top of 2309 the swing, so don't pan, right?

So if you 2310 just focus on your your, your trail arm, 2311 just kind of following along and trying 2312 to keep this close to the left arm as you 2313 can.

And you don't feel any sort of 2314 unwanted stress in the right shoulder, 2315 then perfectly fine, okay, but if you 2316 start feeling a bunch of stress in there, 2317 um, then you can allow it to get a little 2318 bit of separation there if you needed to.

2319 But just be careful, you, you might want 2320 to send it in for us to be able to back 2321 check it.

Because I have plenty of people 2322 that square up and down, they have no 2323 mobility.

And their right elbow gets 2324 squared back from here and they're like, 2325 I got to just play with a flying elbow.

2326 Like, Okay, well, you're going to come 2327 down either in a stuck position, you're 2328 going to floor first thing, back from the 2329 top.

And that's one thing 2330 a lot of people, you know.

It is a sense 2331 of feeling real.

That's like, Well, I 2332 don't have the flexibility to do that 2333 when we did the first lead arm only with 2334 the club up towards the top.

When you get 2335 to this position and add this trail arm, 2336 your trail arm should be relaxed as a 2337 daisy.

Right now.

And a lot of people 2338 realize they're like, Oh well, Craig.

2339 When I add my trail arm like this, my 2340 elbow is always down.

But when I do it, 2341 my golf swing, it goes back this way.

2342 Like, oh, it's not a lack of ability.

2343 It's the fact that you're adding the 2344 success intention.

You're not keeping 2345 that arm in position.

So a good way to 2346 kind of test your range is just go ahead 2347 and get up here and see where it is.

2348 Because where it's nice and relaxed, 2349 that's exactly about where you're 2350 physically capable of getting.

And if you 2351 start to see it vary a lot from that 2352 position, then you're just adding a 2353 variable that you don't need to add.

2354 Right, exactly.

Exactly.

So very, very 2355 good explanation there.

So all right, it 2356 looks like we're winding down.

2357 You guys are hyper-focused.

Maybe you 2358 guys have got all the information you 2359 need.

Maybe they already just had it all.

2360 I love it.

I love it.

I saw some really 2361 great swing reviews.

I mean, I think 2362 they're ready to go.

So, Seven times the 2363 charm I've ordered was in currently 2364 because you guys were rock stars over the 2365 last few days.

So, David, thank you very 2366 much.

We appreciate you guys joining us 2367 today.

2368 I know, again, tonight was a little bit 2369 on the shorter side as far as 2370 presentation is concerned.

We just wanted 2371 to beat into your brain the importance of 2372 just keeping it as simple as possible 2373 when you start from the trail hand to the 2374 next.

2375 If you just allow to follow along with 2376 all of this freaking hard work that you 2377 guys have just spent your time doing with 2378 us over the last two and a half weeks.

2379 Then your golf swing is going to be on 2380 plane.

It's going to be coming down in 2381 the slot, as you guys would say, and it's 2382 going to be into a great delivery point.

2383 Ready for us to be able to, ready to rock 2384 and roll on Saturday.

Okay, I hate all 2385 those terms swing, plane and slot and 2386 delivery point, but you'll hear us use 2387 them on a regular basis because that's 2388 how you guys relate to the information.

2389 But you will have that golf swing ready 2390 to rock and roll.

So That was the whole 2391 point.

It's just keep things simple, get 2392 you guys as many reps on your belt as you 2393 possibly can.

Come ready to go on 2394 Saturday.

Saturday is going to be a 2395 little bit longer of a session.

We always 2396 anticipate it's going to be a longer 2397 session because we're going to be putting 2398 all of this stuff together.

We're going 2399 to give you multiple practice plans that 2400 some of you are going to be able to like, 2401 different ways to blend it.

Some of you 2402 are going to work from the ground up on 2403 this stuff.

You're going to be working on 2404 a little bit more of a smaller swing 2405 format.

And so we're going to give you 2406 ways to be able to reverse engineer it.

2407 So that each and every single person on 2408 Saturday is going to be able to walk out 2409 of here.

And know how to move the skull 2410 foot from one side of the body to the 2411 other the correct way.

Okay.

It's the 2412 efficient way and the safe way.

So we 2413 appreciate you guys taking time.

So I see 2414 you can't wait for the release 2415 information on how to put everything 2416 together.

Look forward to it.

So quick 2417 question.

Any plans for boot camp 2418 focusing on shirking?

So we actually need 2419 to talk to Chuck about this.

We've talked 2420 about maybe doing some boot camps where.

2421 We focus on shorting, chipping and 2422 putting.

That's something that could be 2423 in the future.

We've got to make sure 2424 that we write the programs properly so 2425 that the information is as good as it can 2426 be.

We want the best of the best.

We 2427 don't want to just deliver junior varsity 2428 stuff.

2429 We're thinking about branching off to the 2430 different areas with it, but it's like 2431 this boot camp.

This just didn't pop up 2432 in an hour session.

2433 A lot of time developed.

So if there's a 2434 lot of interest for short game.

Or, you 2435 know Chris has talked about, you know, 2436 maybe doing like a driver camp, you know, 2437 talking about all the different, you 2438 know, variabilities when it comes to 2439 driving the ball.

You know, the more, you 2440 know, kind of demand that we get for it, 2441 we're going to put it out there for you 2442 guys.

Yeah, yeah.

If you guys want to see 2443 more cranking on camera and doing 2444 different camps, then send it in.

We 2445 like, we like to do this stuff guys, so 2446 this is what we love.

We love to be able 2447 to help you guys play this game.

So, um, 2448 2449 got one other, a couple big all right 2450 questions in here, all right, so uh, 2451 based on work demands.

So I was only able 2452 to do one swing review so far and I have 2453 some major things to fix.

Early Park 2454 Swing should I continue to fix early 2455 swinging and put off the next steps?

Even 2456 if it's after campers wrapping up, before 2457 I start to have the full swing?

I don't 2458 want to rush because I want to learn 2459 properly.

Kevin.

So the the long or the 2460 short answer to this is you can add other 2461 pieces in.

Because I think if you were to 2462 send in another swing review and you were 2463 maybe still having some backstory related 2464 issues.

Or we'd still like to see the 2465 baseline stuff that you're doing over the 2466 other side, even though they could have a 2467 big negative cause and effect 2468 relationship to it.

Because then we can 2469 start getting you a little bit more 2470 caught up with things.

We can say, Okay, 2471 hey, listen, you're maybe a little bit 2472 too far off the ball going back.

Okay, 2473 we're going to want you to clean this up 2474 now.

Let's see what your squat square 2475 looks like.

We can give you this piece 2476 that you can try to try to put together, 2477 but we want you to work at the pace that 2478 you feel comfortable with that.

Am I 2479 missing anything there?

No, I mean, and 2480 that's, and remember, that's why we're 2481 going to have a replay.

So, you know, 2482 right now we want to push you a little 2483 bit to try to, you know, stay with the 2484 group.

But if and I remember doing your 2485 review the other day, I mean, if you're 2486 to the point where you're still 2487 struggling with these big points, send in 2488 another review.

Let us make sure that you 2489 you've got that down, because once you 2490 get past kind of session one, two and 2491 three, when you really start getting the 2492 body, the rest of stuff just speeds up.

2493 Like this, right?

So I know that I 2494 personally, um, I get really anxious.

And 2495 I like to see you guys working on all of 2496 the three components, even if all three 2497 of them have a little bit of fault in it.

2498 That way, you guys have something like, 2499 Okay, if I get this done, then I know I 2500 can work on this piece.

Because I know 2501 there's some lag time between the time 2502 that you get to work on things in swing 2503 reviews, right?

That's the one, you know, 2504 kind of thing that we have to deal with 2505 in the world of technology.

You gotta 2506 wait for us, right?

So definitely, um, 2507 work at the pace that you're comfortable 2508 with and make sure that you utilize, you 2509 know, the Swing review system more as you 2510 go through the process.

Again, if you 2511 feel like you're still stuck on one 2512 piece, don't worry, we're not gonna, 2513 we're never gonna make fun of you, right?

2514 There's very few and far between that I 2515 make people.

I'll give you a little every 2516 once in a while.

Excuse my mouth.

That's 2517 just the nature of the beast and every 2518 everybody usually has their one or two 2519 things.

It's like, all right, look, 2520 everything's going well.

But you know, I 2521 kind of move my head a little bit too 2522 much, don't, you know?

Don't lose the 2523 force in the tree, so to speak, right?

2524 And so David said, a little bit from left 2525 field.

How does Rotors can feel about 2526 speed training?

So speed training?

You 2527 want this one?

Yeah, so pick up 2528 everything, get all the training aids 2529 that are out there and start.

I'll let me 2530 let me answer this one for you.

So 2531 I had some training aids sent to me.

2532 Especially David.

2533 I had some parachutes that were sent to 2534 me that wanted to test out.

I had a buddy 2535 of mine that's like a 13 or 14 handicap, 2536 and every month we would reconvene on my 2537 back patio.

2538 We would sit there for a couple hours, 2539 and his job was to take the training aids 2540 that I got, put them together, and start 2541 using them.

2542 It was so funny.

It took two hours for 2543 him to put these parachutes together.

2544 These are speed trainers.

I'm not going 2545 to mention the name.

2546 It took him two hours to kind of figure 2547 out how to put them together and get them 2548 rolling.

He's a pretty smart guy too.

He 2549 takes his first swing and things break.

2550 It was really kind of funny because we 2551 were just loud from our rear end up.

2552 Speed training, the way that we're going 2553 to have you moving off, if you're going 2554 to maximize the efficiency through the 2555 golf swing, there are certain things that 2556 you can do in the world of ramping up the 2557 speed in the golf swing.

I mean, 2558 obviously, Bryson DeChambeau is kind of 2559 rewriting the whole book, as far as 2560 adding more big muscles to the golf 2561 swing, But you're going to still 2562 understand that there's a fine line where 2563 you can do things that would not hurt 2564 yourself, okay?

And so we're going to 2565 push your body to those extremes anyways.

2566 We're going to make sure that we maximize 2567 through leverage.

We're maximizing the 2568 efficiency aspect through leverage, where 2569 you have proper amounts of lag release to 2570 using the proper amounts of ground force, 2571 which are also maximizing through width 2572 and rotation.

So we're never against 2573 speed training as long as it's not 2574 putting your body in harm's way.

I think 2575 that's the easiest way for me to answer 2576 that.

If it's doing something that's 2577 putting your spine in a precarious 2578 position, or putting any sort of unwanted 2579 stress or pain on your joints, then I 2580 don't want any harder because you have to 2581 remember at the end of the day, 81% of 2582 these guys on the PGA Tour sustained a 2583 golf-related injury.

It keeps them on a 2584 golf for eight weeks or more.

81% is a 2585 huge number, huge number, right?

2586 If you're going to train your body, make 2587 sure it's done 100% right.

Your spine 2588 hates two things.

It hates shear force 2589 and it hates compression, like I said 2590 before.

2591 So just be careful.

2592 All right.

2593 So hopefully that answered your question.

2594 You don't need to be working on speed 2595 training, David.

2596 All right.

So when we do start 2597 transitioning not using a camera.

When do 2598 we start transitioning not using a 2599 camera?

2600 So you want to always use a camera.

I was 2601 about to say never.

2602 Okay.

2603 I think the transition goes more from a 2604 mirror to a camera.

You want to use a 2605 camera, more so when you're moving 2606 through positions.

Because it's the only 2607 way that you're going to get that 2608 feedback of what you did.

2609 But anytime you're practicing, use a 2610 camera because you need to be able to 2611 back check this stuff.

2612 Obviously, on the golf course, It's not 2613 necessarily conducive for you to be 2614 carrying around a tripod or carrying 2615 around a personal assistant to be 2616 videotaping all your swings.

But anytime 2617 you're getting a chance to work on 2618 things, like for instance, I was in the 2619 backyard the other day and I had my 2620 tripod set up and I videotaped every 2621 swing.

2622 Phones are pretty awesome these days 2623 where you can just videotape and 2624 videotape and videotape.

You just go 2625 through it and then you can head these 2626 things down and you can pick one to set 2627 in.

So, 2628 I mean, Chris, myself, Chuck, we still 2629 videotape for swings because it's the 2630 only way we can get feedback from it.

2631 Now, we're not sitting there saying you 2632 have to videotape every swing the rest of 2633 your life.

That's not the whole plan.

But 2634 if you're struggling or if you don't know 2635 set positions you're hitting, you must be 2636 videoing.

It's still the feedback tool 2637 you have.

All right.

So, let's see.

2638 There's more to that question.

I have two 2639 angles almost always when I do the reps, 2640 and it's hard to tell how well my form is 2641 if I'm not seeing it on camera.

Use the 2642 camera.

Continue to use it.

2643 One thing I can say is I don't rush.

I've 2644 done like seven reviews because I started 2645 a few weeks ago before Food Camp, and 2646 it's just now started to come together.

2647 Good.

So great.

That's what, you know, a 2648 lot of times people have understood that 2649 they were going to be coming to a camp.

2650 Like, we have another camp coming in for 2651 November that people will start sending 2652 in reviews just to go ahead and get a 2653 head start on these things.

2654 And then sitting through the actual camp 2655 itself kind of helps reinforce the 2656 information.

And you're never going to 2657 hear the same exact information from 2658 Craig and I twice.

Yeah, So see the 2659 structure of the camps be done the same 2660 way, But you're going to hear something 2661 different from one camp to the next.

2662 Because again, We're learning from each 2663 one of these sessions how you guys are 2664 processing the information, And what's 2665 the best way to be able to articulate the 2666 information.

So that you guys get the 2667 best looking screenshots that you can 2668 have, All right, So 2669 last question looks like coming in here.

2670 So what's the most fair views you have 2671 gotten from one person in a month?

Is 2672 this one of your students?

No, I was sure 2673 someone has killed it.

I wish I could do 2674 a problem, I wish I could do that 2675 problem, but I need more time.

Great job 2676 guys.

So wait, I I got some guys that I 2677 got, some guys that blow your mind.

I've 2678 already got a member of my head, so I'm 2679 not going to tell you the I can't.

I'm 2680 not going to give names.

Um, 2681 Let me give a number here, though.

2682 I'll give names.

2683 So I would say the most reviews I've 2684 gotten in one month from one student in 2685 particular is going to be, and this is 2686 just a rough guessment, is probably in 2687 the ballpark between 120 and 130.

2688 Okay?

So that's a lot of videos.

That's 2689 overkill.

That's it.

It's over.

I mean, 2690 you know, we can see our boards and our 2691 forums and, you know, what everybody's 2692 doing.

You know, Chris.

2693 Said a few students.

I know I've had a 2694 few students that it's literally it's 2695 been like an obsession.

Where they might 2696 submit at 8 2697 this is what you need to do rest of the 2698 day.

This would be clean up and I'll get 2699 it back at 9 o'clock I'm like wait a 2700 minute.

I just finished it out, the other 2701 one come in, I've had, I've had a couple.

2702 Students average four to five a day, 2703 right?

That's so, that's kind of what 2704 that's.

It's a little over.

I've had, so 2705 the most I've seen, though, from a 2706 student.

This is actually a new record 2707 set for me 2708 I think there was like 10 or 11 2709 submissions.

2710 Yeah, it was 10.

2711 And I was like, I opened up my queue and 2712 I was like, there's 10 from one person.

2713 So a lot of times, 2714 you know, What we're looking for in a 2715 swing review, if you're going to send in 2716 10 reviews, is we're looking for 2717 consistency.

If you're sending in 10 2718 reviews, You better know damn well that 2719 we're going to go through each and every 2720 one of those swings that are on there.

2721 And if we see inconsistencies, Then we're 2722 going to blow holes in the way that you 2723 practice and you're going to get barked 2724 out from us.

But if you're sending in 10 2725 swing reviews because you want us to look 2726 at a sample of 10 swings from your 2727 session, Then, fine, you're gonna get us 2728 back saying, Yep, looks great and and 2729 review, right?

That's something that's 2730 common for us.

So, Lee, I got all kinds 2731 of stories I could tell you.

Like, we 2732 have, we've seen a lot, a lot over the 2733 years.

Okay, and so we'll end on that 2734 because I think that we could probably be 2735 here all night with telling you some 2736 stuff that we've seen.

We just appreciate 2737 that most of the people are starting to 2738 wear clothes now when they're screen 2739 reviews, so we'll just leave it at that.

2740 All right, so all right, guys, so you 2741 know the plan, get this stuff ready to 2742 rock and roll for Saturday?

Okay, be 2743 ready to rock and roll at 12 2744 you go back through the material, make 2745 sure that you're working your butts off.

2746 Spend time going through the start of the 2747 processes like we just did tonight, 2748 stripping it down.

There's no substitute 2749 for, regardless of how far along you are, 2750 to getting the arms and the golf club out 2751 of there and doing these core body 2752 movements.

2753 And when you do that stuff, you're going 2754 to see that the end result is going to 2755 become much, much easier too.

2756 I really appreciate you guys taking time 2757 out of your day on Tuesday evening to 2758 come join us.

I know that there's lots of 2759 stuff going on in the world right now.

um 2760 and i know that you guys all have 2761 families so we appreciate you joining us 2762 um and we look forward to saturday where 2763 it's graduation day craig had some good 2764 ideas about how we're going to set up the 2765 new room we're going to sit here with 2766 some some smokers jackets on a glass of 2767 champagne and we're gonna that's how 2768 we're gonna open the session we'll see if 2769 that comes to fruition so we appreciate 2770 you guys hope you guys have a great rest 2771 of your week and we will see you on 2772 saturday thank you everybody
