Bootcamp 7, Sept 29 2020, Session 6

Session 6 of 6

---

Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.

Modern medicine.

Good afternoons.

Good morning to some of you that are over on the west coast or even in central time zone, but maybe good evening to some of you people that are further east than us.

Welcome back.

Graduation day, big day for you guys.

We're going to be starting to put the release together, starting to make this stuff feel like a full golf swing.

So a pretty fun day for both of us.

We've got some different stuff we're going to be throwing at you guys today.

Hopefully everybody's had a wonderful week.

Saw a lot of great stuff again through the process.

You guys have been the rock star group, so congratulations on that.

So we got, um, as usual, we got people checking in right now.

So welcome Lee checking in from San Diego, Bill checking in from Naples, Ryan checking in from Denver.

How you doing guys?

Craig checking in from Madison, Glenn checking in, Glenn checking in from Kentucky.

Hi from Michigan.

So this is a big, big day for you guys, big day.

So this is where we make it a golf swing.

And Craig and I were just talking a lot about how we're going to give you guys this information today.

We're going to do kind of the old reverse engineered way, or we're going to give you guys kind of the full swing format.

And guess what we decided on, we're going to do a little bit above, we decided that we're going to give you a couple different options.

To be able to get this stuff blended in your golf swing and be able to get it to the golf course.

We feel like, you know, we know, at this point, you guys all process information a little bit differently.

Some, some people might be a little bit further along with their swing changes, and some people might be a little bit behind.

And so the reverse engineered way that we're about to show you today is a great way.

For those people that have been maybe feeling like they're falling a little bit behind.

I have gotten a lot of people to tell us in the past that, you know, Kind of reverse engineering and 9 to 3 release drills typically is the best way for them because it allows them to hit balls, allows them to start feeling compression, allows them to have, you know, the ball flying off the book face pretty darn well, and it also allows you to give it some really sounding back position.

So that's why Craig and I have decided to do both.

Yeah, why not?

How's everything going with you?

Yeah, I'm going all right.

Pretty good.

Yeah.

Busy this week.

We got here okay today track was a lot better.

So that was a little bit smoother sail.

Nice.

It's a little chilly outside today.

A little nip in the air.

Yeah, it's nice.

Sense of fall coming.

Yeah, you can actually feel the humidity starting to deplete just a little bit, which is nice.

So hopefully everybody's doing awesome.

I see we got Ari checking in from the Netherlands.

Bob checking in from Regina.

Gary checking in from Kansas.

Celia from Denver.

Kevin, welcome from Boston.

Hopefully everybody's doing awesome, awesome, awesome.

Hopefully everybody's had a good couple of days working on the reps.

Craig and I were just talking as well before we came on today about all the good stuff that we got to see through the swing review process this week.

Got one specific fault that he and I are going to touch base on today.

That's going to really help you in the grand scheme of things with your transition.

And I knew that this was going to be one of those things that we started to see a little bit more as we started to try to go a little bit faster and we started to try to get you guys to plug things together.

We're going to hopefully nip that in the bud.

We're going to give you guys a good couple of checkpoints that you can look for, specifically that when you're looking at it from a face-on perspective, then you'll know that you're in a perfect spot.

So anything else you want to add there?

No.

Just status quo, huh?

Status quo.

All right.

So big day for you guys.

So graduation day, we're going to be putting the release stuff into your golf swings.

So we're going to be actually taking the golf club, believe it or not, and moving it from one side of the body to the other, which is what golf's all about.

That's how we get the golf ball to fly in the direction of the target, hopefully.

And so we're going to talk about the importance of training your lead arm and your lead wrist perfectly so that the golf club reacts perfectly.

And so you guys will see that there's going to be probably some things that you've never heard before, even through our video processes.

A lot of this stuff might sound like some familiar information.

But Craig and I have taken the vow today that we are going to actually skip the interactive workout.

Because we're going to introduce two solid plans for you guys to be able to take this release stuff and be able to inject it into your golf swing.

When we get all said and done today is we want you guys to be able to move the golf club fair.

With some fairly good grace here from one side of the body to the other.

And we also want you to start being able to hit some practice balls, right?

Because when you start hitting some practice balls, you can start feeling what it's like to compress the golf ball properly.

You look out, you see the ball flag, you know, on this nice, penetrating ball flag.

And then you also get start getting some feedback over to us.

Then, basically, what that becomes is is ball striking drills, and ball striking drills are fun because where you can start being, really, really nitpicky on your golf leg.

You can say, hey, my golf leg's a little bit too low, it's a little bit too high, maybe it's got a little bit too much movement in it.

And that's where it becomes fun for Craig and I, because we're not having to necessarily work on a lot of the big picture body movements anymore.

We're just working on little, subtle manipulations that are to the umpteenth degree.

To be able to get you to do what you want to do with your golf leg.

So definitely a fun day.

It's our favorite day.

Not because it's the final session, but it's because it feels like a golf swing now.

And I think that's the thing.

It feels like a golf swing, but also.

This is, I always say, like, this is what separate separates the amateur from the pro that when you really start Understanding how to release the club properly with a golf ball.

It's for the vast majority of people out there It's like oh, this is something I haven't done before like this is different, right?

This is a challenge I look forward to doing because you actually get to see some results from, you know, When you're sitting here, working on your body position, you're like, I don't know What is this gonna do with my golf ball?

What is this gonna do with my flight?

Well, now today, you actually get to start seeing what all the work you've done at this point, like how it's actually going to pay off, right?

You're going to have to be able to use the golf ball, and the flight of the golf ball is feedback to know what you're doing things correctly.

Which, again, I know a lot of you guys like to be able to practice and hit golf balls.

I'm that same way.

When I go out there, it's hard for me to just stay committed, just doing body movements after body movement.

So I like to, you know, kind of sprinkle in some golf balls here and there.

And so the drills that we're going to give you today are going to allow you to actually do that.

Um, and that's really important when you start going through the ball striking part of the process, that you keep track of how you're hitting in relation to the center of the base.

And you also keep track of the direction that's going in because that's going to be imperative information that as you guys start to move forward beyond boot camp.

To be able to relay to both Craig and I, And any of the other instructors on the website to be able to help you make the adjustments that need to be in place in order to make that thing fly as good as you want it to.

So definitely a big day.

Big, big, big day.

So we're going to let everybody get seated here just for a couple minutes.

If any of you guys have any questions, feel free to post those up here for the next couple minutes.

I see a question coming in from Glenn.

What club do you suggest for beginning to hit balls?

Seven, eight, nine iron, somewhere in there.

That's perfectly fine.

Seven, eight, nine iron.

The shorter the clubs, the less momentum and inertia you're going to have in it.

Typically, we'll do these drills.

Craig and I will probably have a seven or eight iron in our hands.

That's a good way for you to do it.

If you want to go a little bit shorter, but you want to go to a wedge, you can do that.

But, you know, Stay away from the longer clubs at first, because momentum and inertia can be your worst enemy at points.

Because you'll feel like you're doing things correctly, and then you look at it on camera and you're just not.

All right, so.

Quiet group today.

Everybody's quiet.

Everybody's super focused, baby.

Everybody's just in tune.

Today we get to add a golf pulse.

I like it.

I'm excited.

I like it.

So just a couple minutes here for everybody to get seated so that we have none of the latecomers missing any important information.

What's going on in the world of golf right now?

I have no idea.

I guess somebody had a drone shot of Augusta National the other day.

Oh, yeah.

Wait a minute.

They're like, this isn't what, it's what it usually looks like, it's all browned out from the summer and stuff.

Is that that they usually don't have the course opener this time, right?

And they're like, this is supposed to be ready in six weeks.

I'm like, guys, it's Augusta, they'll have it, right?

Yeah, yeah.

So then actually, I had a client of mine, Um, go play Kings Valley yesterday.

And I don't know if you've heard anything about it, but it's Tiger's first like, full developed golf course.

Reading that, and um, he said, it was absolutely incredible.

He was so excited.

He made two birdies while he was out there.

He said, the place is unreal.

And I just was watching videos on it last week with the Payne's Valley company.

They were kicking things off out of there.

Pretty awesome place.

So if you get a chance to look it up, Payne's Valley.

It's in Missouri.

It's for where it is.

I've heard of it, though.

And I just had a student invite me.

A lot of our people travel and go to these golf firms and stuff like that.

But with the Augusta shift, a lot of people can't do it in November because they always plan that week in April.

One of my students just emailed me.

He's like, look, We've got two tee times at Sage Valley and two tee times at Champions Preserve, Augusta Week and a house for the whole week.

So if you can make it up, come on up.

Are you going?

We had boot camp that week.

I'll handle it.

I was like, come on, guys.

Kill it.

I'll handle it.

Have you been before?

I've played Sage once.

It's fantastic.

Yeah, yeah.

So that's an incredible opportunity.

I was just like, and I looked at the schedule.

I was like, oh, we can't.

We'll talk a little bit about that on the camera because you shouldn't miss that opportunity.

So, all right.

So anyways, it looks like you guys are pretty calm and quiet today.

It looks like you guys are ready for the information.

I know it's Saturday.

I know you guys have a lot of things to do.

So we're going to do our best to be able to keep this as clean and concise as possible because.

Quite honestly, there's a lot of information that we need to put into your brains.

So that's why we decided to skip the interactive workout part of today.

We are going to be going through those checkpoints throughout the session today.

Because of the fact that you're going to need to have that stuff be in your brain a little bit more.

But what we're going to do today is we're going to spend some time going through how to train your lead arm, how to work perfectly from one side of the body to the other.

We're going to show you the ways that we want you to stack these other pieces in, like adding more moving parts, double mix.

And then we're going to give you two ways to practice this.

We're going to give you the way that.

I like a lot.

And this is for those people at home that might feel like you're a little bit behind with where we're at boot camp.

I like this idea of going back and doing like a little bit of a reverse engineered way.

Where we start more from the bottom up, where we start working on these little release drills, we start adding more moving parts to it.

And then for those of you that have really made a lot of good progress on, you know, your load, your backswing, your transition, your post up.

Those of you that are going to probably want to pay close attention to what we're going to do in the second part of the setup today.

Because again, both options are going to be viable, and both options we don't typically do within a boot camp.

But we want to be able to give that information to you today so that you can take and make the choice yours.

So I see tour checking in from Maryland, Welcome tour.

Hopefully you're doing well.

Looks like we are all ready to rock and roll now, so let's talk about.

We have one fault that we want to discuss within transition, okay, and it's a very, very common fault.

And it's stemmed from when you actually turn your body over your right side.

You're increasing axis tilt to the point where, if you look at Craig's spine here.

Okay, add address.

Let's go back down to address and show him.

Okay, so you can see here that the spine is just inside.

Oops.

Believe me.

Now, as he turns his body, you're going to see that his tilt is now increasing.

Okay, so you see that the tilt has increased quite a bit.

Now, if he were to make his normal move and transition that we've been teaching you, where we sit down into that left side.

We keep that lead shoulder low.

When he makes this move over to his lead side, it's going to be much harder for him to get fully back over here onto that lead leg.

What I've been seeing a lot from the people this week is that we get over onto that side, and we've increased tilt, and then we make this nice movement transition, but you were nowhere close to being able to get your head back in that original position.

Craig and I were talking a little bit before we came back on camera today, and I've been using a line when I show people from a face-on perspective.

on the outer portion of the back.

I'm going to show that to you first.

And Crank generally just uses the head position.

He finds that that's the best way for us to be able to describe this to you.

But when you make your move back over to your lead side, if you notice here, if we draw a line down the outer portion of Crank's back here, you notice how it's pretty well upright.

For those of you that have too much tilt off the ball and you're trying to get back over to your lead side, you're going to notice that this line has got a lot of tilt coming up.

You want your upper part of your back to feel like it's pretty well upright.

Okay, that's a good kind of feel sensation that kind of falls in line with what we're talking about through the first couple sessions we were talking about.

Transition is feeling like your upper body falls back in position.

Now.

Remember, this is all stemmed, or it's a byproduct of how you've turned your body over your, your trail side going back.

So if you're noticing an increase in tilt like Greg is showing you here.

The best way to fix this.

Okay is to make sure that you pull that right shoulder up and behind your head, and let your left shoulder work down underneath your chin.

Okay, so you're going to feel like you're steepening your shoulder plane, just a little tiny bit, excuse me.

Okay, that's the best way to fix this.

And when you look at it, You want to make sure that the tilt that you started with at the address is very much in line with what you had at the top of it also.

And I tell you what, this is normally not here.

I was wondering, I'm going to move this off camera.

So I'm not even sure why that was there.

I hit someone, I was like, wait a minute.

Okay, so we have a little production.

Problem there.

So, all right, so again, that's for those of you players that have noticed the transition, that you are maybe a little bit too far off the late side.

Where?

If you looked at the outer portion of your back and you see that line coming out there, a pretty, pretty good size tilt.

Now, going back to session number two, Craig and I talked about this quite a bit.

If you allow your head to come back into its original position when you complete your transition.

Or even give it the appearance that it's slightly in front of where it was when it started.

Then you're going to have this position held down because, Honestly, if you increase tilt, your head's going to be further back.

And we're not talking about a whole lot here.

It's not like you're seeing like a big gap between your head where it was originally addressed, where you actually have it in transition.

It's just a small amount.

And that small amount is a few degrees.

And that few degrees actually translates to some swing plane issues.

And it translates to the bottom of the swing arc starting to shift a little bit further back.

Yeah, I mean, when you think of everything kind of relative, so to speak, this little bit of head motion, if you start to have a little bit too much.

When we talk about shoulder blade glide, it's a two-inch movement.

But this two-inch movement of the shoulder, the shoulder blade glide, rotates you 45 degrees.

So if I have just the tiniest bit of shift in my head or falling back right here, think about what it's doing out here, the amount that it's moving out here in the space, so to speak.

So when you think about these little tiny adjustments on the inside, it has a ton of effect on the outside.

Right.

And so just again, we're going to give you another example here.

I'm going to have Craig swing up to the top of this gossip from a down-the-line perspective.

And I'm going to show you when he takes his spine and he leans it back away from the target, just a couple degrees, so just a small amount.

We're not going to exaggerate this time, but I want you to watch the shaft playing very closely here.

So what you can see here is that it starts to shallow out quite a bit now.

This can be one of your best friends or can be one of your worst enemies.

Now when you look at him from a face-on perspective, now here to hold that same position.

When you see that swing plane shallow out like that, it was like, Okay, that looks great, right?

shallow, the swing plane, it's not.

Remember, if you come in too far from the inside, you're going to start putting yourself in a position where you're going to save things.

Also, if you look at his upper body now, you can see that his lead shoulder is back.

This is really, really dangerous on your body, number one, because you're starting to compress your lower vertebrae again.

It's also really bad for your golf swing because you're now shifting the bottom of the swing arc back.

When that bottom of the swing arc shifts back and you're expecting it to be up in here, and it's back there.

You're either going to stuff the club into the ground, so you're going to hit that really, really embarrassing heavy shot, or you're going to start flipping it with your right hand really quickly, and you're going to start hitting it really thin.

You're going to start hitting it in two different directions.

The bottom of the swing arc is really, Really important for you to understand that it's being dictated by the position of your lead shoulder.

You've got to make sure that it moves far enough over in transition, And you can monitor that with making sure that you don't have an increase until it going back, and making sure that your head position comes back into the lead side.

That's the only fault that I wanted to address today because Craig and I talked about it.

Again, you guys were rock stars.

For the amount of people that we have in the room over the last five sessions, we saw very few faults.

I saw people moving dynamically.

I saw people moving fluidly.

I saw a combination of everything.

I saw some people still having some faults.

That's okay, okay, you know, we're going to find faults in everything and the thing.

And I also saw people that were still doing their body drills.

They're like, Hey, Craig, I just don't have this down yet.

I need to put some more focus on this, and that's perfectly fine as well, right?

Exactly.

So we're, we're trained and we've looked at the golf swing for a long period of time.

And I don't like using the word perfect when I do a spring view, because I'm like, we can always find a little fault in there.

You gotta remember we're trying to pull everything apart.

And so even if you're doing things at a very high level, like 90, 95%, that little small thing that we might point out doesn't mean you're doing poorly.

There's just a lot of components here that have cause and effect relationship to it.

And so we've got to boil things down and make sure that you understand that if you get these big picture things in place, Then, chances are you're going to be able to release the golf ball with some dust out here and you're going to be able to get the golf ball with some speed.

So that's it.

So that's the only fault I want you guys to pay attention to is make sure that you don't increase tilt.

Going back the way that you can combat that.

It's just trying to feel like the right shoulder is moving a little bit more up, left shoulder is moving a little bit more down.

If you still see this tilt increasing, then you can use the wall drill.

That was something that was really beneficial to a lot of people, where they stick their head up against the wall, and then you just continue to kind of gradually pull yourself back, and then you'll have much more center rotation.

Peace game, right?

All right.

So, release time.

So, for those of you that have ever sat through any of our release videos on the website, I'm sure a lot of you have.

This stuff is going to be far different than what you've probably ever heard before.

Okay, And the reason for that is because every single person that's ever come into town that's either worked with Craig in a clinic, or with Chuck and I in clinics.

Or anybody that's ever worked on the release, Drills has always said this one very common thing was, Under no circumstance, through any of the videos, or how much, we write it down, or we put it in big, bold letters.

Would they have ever thought it was this tension-free.

That's the first thing that we hear from everybody when we start getting our hands on them.

So I want you to remember today when we're going through this drill.

We want you to be uncomfortable, uncomfortably tension-free, okay?

Because remember, your job is to get out of the way.

What's the definition of release?

What's the definition of release?

Let it go.

Let it go.

It doesn't mean to hang on for dear life.

It means to let go, right?

So this is the fun part.

This is why you'll see a lot of our still images that we have of tour players, where you see their trail hand coming completely off the golf ball.

They're letting things fly down there.

There nobody's really filling out the release, okay, there's.

There's been a lot of kind of back and forth with this stuff.

They're all letting the thing fly out there, every single one of them, that's how they're maximizing speed, because you have two options, all right, and when we talk about?

What we were talking about in the first part of the session today is we're going to start moving the golf club from one side of the body to the other.

Well, the two options that you have is number one.

You can take your body, you can lock your arms in place, and you can turn your body as hard and fast as you want to move the club from one side of the body to the other.

But remember one thing, your body can't turn that fast.

And your spine hates two things.

It hates sheer force and it hates compression, right?

So the more that you turn with a stick in your hands and you try to get it going fast, The more stress you're going to put on your body and the lack of efficiency that your golf swing is going to have.

Now, the second option, which is what we're going to be teaching you today, Is to get your golf club to move from one side of the body to the other by simply letting your wrists and your forearms rotate.

Now, if you do this movement in the golf swing and you do it with very little effort, then this is when you start meeting the criteria of what we teach here, the effortless power that's on our mass head of our website.

All of this work that you've just done with us over the last two and a half weeks is all this heavy lifting.

That's now going to help produce a lot of speed through the release.

We alluded to this a little bit the other day, where we said, we want you to think about your hands and arms being more or less passive conduits that are helping you transfer energy from your body.

That's why you just did all this work, And that's why we didn't let you move the pump from one side because all of that stuff that you're doing.

It's important for us to be able to load and swing up in the correct order.

That's what it's all about.

Remember, in order for us to be able to swing that golf club at 100 miles an hour, we've got to have 32 pounds of muscle.

We don't have that in our shoulders and our arms, but we do have it available to us in our biggest surface area muscles, our lats, our chunkiest muscles, our glutes, our abs, our obliques.

Those are the muscles that you're getting contracted, And those are eventually going to help you translate to more speed as you become more proficient with the movements.

Right, and the big thing with this, and the image that always seems to help my students is, To really start to understand that the release, or the point of our release, is to get the club moving independently of the body.

A lot of people have been taught that they're supposed to take their chest and square up the club face with their chest.

But the last thing that you want is the club head speed tied to the rate of your rotation, because the club's only going to be able to move as fast as you can rotate.

The image and the kind of thought process that you need with this is that what you're trying to get to do.

Is to get this club to work independently of you.

That's the whip, that's the snapping of the talent algae that Chuck uses a lot.

When you do that, that's where you get that maximum speed and that effortless speed.

Because I know, especially in my playing career, until I started with rotary, I was taught the same thing take my body and even towards the target as fast as I can.

That also ended my professional career because of that.

So when you have the image of the club flying down the fairway with you doing very little, or almost kind of the proverbial slamming on the brakes.

That's going to be where you really get this exactly.

So the less you do down at the bottom, the better off you're going to be.

And so it's a very common thing that we actually hear in the way of golf instruction.

You can hear it on any YouTube video out there, you can even hear it from Nick Fallow.

He sits in the booth every weekend.

The first tip that he passes along is, Folks, you got to turn your chest to dating, which in fact, that's the last thing in the world that you want to do.

Okay, and we'll blow holes in that all day long.

Now, you are going to see a lot of tour players turn their body through the hitting area.

In fact, There is a company out there called K-Best that has measured tour players and where they're at as far as their shoulder line is concerned at impact.

We don't care.

We don't care.

Okay, if they're open 22 degrees, 28 degrees, again, Remember the big fact that I gave you guys last session was?

81% of those guys have sustained a golf-related injury that keeps them out of golf for eight weeks or more.

Again, it's not their fault that they're doing this stuff.

That's how they were taught.

They were taught to turn a little bit more through the hitting area.

What we're trying to do is we're trying to find the balance point where you can move as efficiently as possible, but also protect and preserve your body.

Just remember that because I know at some point today when we finish up, you guys are going to ask the question, well, I was taught I got to turn my chest through the hitting area.

Again, we'll blow holes in that all day long.

If you want to put your max speed point somewhere out here in front of you, where it doesn't matter, and not down here at the bottom of the arc, then you can turn your chest through the hitting area.

But remember, the golf club is being swung on an incline plane.

With it being swung on an incline plane, The club face needs to rotate in order for the golf ball to be able to fly straight in relationship to that plane.

If the face stops rotating, you can think about this.

I'm sure you've all heard somebody say this at one point.

Johnny Miller has probably said it more times than any person on the planet.

This person holds the club face square to the target longer than anybody on the planet.

Absolutely not happening.

The club face is always rotating.

It's just rotating at a rate like.

250 to 350 degrees per second.

That you're not going to be able to sit there and measure with your opposite, right.

It's just rotating very subtly, it's not flipping over drastically.

So when you look at your divots on the ground, you can see that these things look like nice little dollar bill strips or bacon strips, right?

It's all about how you get the club delivered through the dating area and how you're going to do very little to make it move from one side.

Now, here's one point that Craig and I like to make you guys.

It's kind of funny, all right.

There's this great movie that nobody on this planet saw, including myself.

This is something you can write down in your notes.

It's just a good way for you to remember this.

It's a great movie.

Nobody saw it.

Some of you at home might have seen it.

It's called Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift.

I don't know if any of you saw it.

I didn't see it.

I did see the trailer for the movie.

I saw there was this kid movie named Lil Balbo.

Lil Balbo says, you ain't in control unless you're out of control.

I was like, holy smokes, that's it.

He's finally said something of substance in this world.

That's exactly what the release is.

It's getting out of control.

It's letting things fly.

And that's where you guys have got to grab onto the concept.

We don't want you to have to do any work.

So if you look at your first checkpoint on the slide today, the release should be freewheeling and natural.

Let the club release.

Again, what does a golf club design do?

Swing on an incline plane and it's designed to rotate.

So it's going to want to do all that stuff for you.

Now, if you come down in the hitting area and your swing plane is a little less desirable, maybe you have the club coming too far from the inside.

or maybe you have a club coming a little bit more from the outside, then you're going to have to do something.

But we just taught you over the last couple of days where we want your hands and your arms to come down where?

Well, We want your hands and arms to be down in front of your trail.

Thigh, with the club shaft parallel to the ground and the button, and the club pointed down the target line.

Okay?

That's what I'm talking about.

If you get it into this spot, then you can let this stuff happen that we're about to teach you.

If you're in a lackluster spot, Then don't work on what we're about to teach you, because you're going to start finding your ball flying all over the place.

And so there's a lot of times when people are like, that you're like, okay, I feel pretty free -flowing.

And you have to remember, swing playing plays a really big part of it.

So if you start getting things a little bit flatter and a little bit deeper, then you're going to see a much higher rate of closure coming through.

Ball's going to start wanting to go a little bit low on the left.

I see you smile over your face.

Yeah, there you go.

You're welcome.

All right.

So the idea is, is now that we've got you into this delivery point, now let's train you how to use it.

Right?

So for those of you at home that want to work on this, the reverse engineered way, like I was talking about in the start of the weekend.

This is a great plan for you and for those of you that are going to be working on this in more of the full swing format.

We still want you to start with what we're doing here, but you're going to be able to go up to the top of your swing eventually.

Stable this piece back in there, anything you want to add to that.

No, I like it, I like it, okay.

So before we actually get the golf club in our hands, we want to go ahead and start training.

I'm going to be talking to you from a right-handed golfer perspective.

I'm not trying to tell you left-handers that you're not important out there.

I just don't want to create confusion when I start going from trail side to lead, side to left to right.

I'm going to be talking as a right-handed golfer today.

What I want you to do is I want you to take your set of positions.

Those of you at home can set up with us and you can do this along with us.

I want you to move yourself into impact.

Impact is just basically going to be your lead hip shifts over, opens up to about 35.

You don't need to be all the way into this big 45 degree position.

It's going to be a little bit uncomfortable if you're standing there static for a little bit, because you're going to be creating a little bit more secondary axis.

Still, shoulder line is going to be nice and square.

And you're going to have this lead arm just hanging there like a spaghetti noodle, okay, so this left arm is hanging down freely.

Then what you want to do is you want to think about this being like a pivot point.

Okay, your shoulder and you're just going to let your left arm swing back, okay, so if your body turns just a little bit with your left arm, perfectly fine.

Now, the first checkpoint for you at home is to make sure that if you have a glove or a watch on, that your glove logo or your watch are facing directly out in front of you.

Okay?

That's the first checkpoint.

So as your hand gets outside your trail thigh, you're going to make sure that your knee wrist is pointed directly out in front of you.

Okay?

Now, from here, what you're going to do is you're going to think about your arm being like a grandfather claw.

Okay?

And it's going to be swinging underneath this pivot point.

Okay?

And it's going to be moving to the other side of the body.

Go ahead.

And you're just going to focus on your left wrist rotating to now when it's outside, On this, on this particular lead side, that your left wrist is flat, okay, flat and pointed directly behind you.

So if Craig has a glove or a watch on, it's now facing directly behind him, okay, now, if you watch what happens, okay?

If he focuses on these two specific checkpoints, where it's out in front of him here and behind him over here, then it impact what it's going to look like, it's going to be flat and pointed down the target line.

A lot of you start trying to make this, all this manipulation happen again.

Remember, Golf Club is going to do a lot of that work for you.

You don't need to actually start manipulating unless you're trying to hit a specialty shot.

So we want you just to think about the two checkpoints on each side of the golf ball.

So left wrist out in front of you, left wrist pointed back behind you.

Now, when you look over at this position, really important that your wrist is flat.

Do you want to turn up the line for me?

So when you stop in this position, you make sure that you're anatomically flat.

would be cupped.

That's a big no-no.

Now, I know you probably at home are like, well, why would we even care?

The belt belt's already gone at this point.

You don't want to start training your left wrist to get cupped.

It will happen when momentum and inertia starts pulling at it at very, very high rates of speed.

But for now, when you're training something really small, you want to be perfect with it.

Now, on a scale from 1 to 10, correct?

Tension levels in your left arm, when you're letting it swing back and forth underneath your shoulders, what do you feel?

0.

5.

0.

5.

Right?

It's not a big workout program.

Okay, this is just a relaxed movement, and it's think about it this way, it's swinging underneath the shoulder, it's nice and relaxed.

So you're just going to take your left arm and you're just going to let it swing back just outside your trail thigh.

And you're going to focus on the two checkpoints on each side.

So you're going to get over here, you're going to feel like, Okay, my watch, my global over facing right behind me.

Everything's nice and flat.

And once you can do it, to the point where you can get your arm, just to swing back and forth.

Nice and relaxed.

And this is the only time in God's beautiful green earth.

Are we going to ever let you rep screen Now, for those of you that don't know what restringing is at this point, go back and watch some of our other videos.

Okay, Restringing is just you trying to do a whole bunch of reps where you have no idea what thing's going on with your body.

You hate that, okay?

When you get to a point where you can get your left arm moving back and forth freely, and you look at it on camera, and you hit these two checkpoints specifically, and then you can kind of back up and look at impact and notice that, hey, my left wrist is nice and flat, it's pointed down the target line, then you're ready to start doing what?

Well, you can start putting the golf foot back in there.

You might notice that for those of you that have followed along with five minutes to a perfect release or even fixed release, that we're not doing it in the exact order.

We're not stopping it.

1000 We're going to advance you guys through 1001 this stuff pretty quickly.

We're going to 1002 give you ways to be able to practice this 1003 stuff.

Because we've noticed on swing 1004 reviews and we've noticed, as people are 1005 going through camps, that this is the 1006 best way to get people to respond.

1007 For now, when you start getting the 1008 movement done, and you can keep that left 1009 arm moving, and it is a free-flowing 1010 Kenny G concert, like with a little bit 1011 of lavender and candle meal on the side, 1012 then you know you're ready to start 1013 putting the club in the mix.

Okay, now, 1014 when we get the golf club in the mix, 1015 grip pressure is paramount, okay?

We will 1016 say back three fingers of your lead hand 1017 are the ones that we want.

Pressure in 1018 the golf club.

Think about it being like 1019 a little baby tube of toothpaste, where 1020 you don't want to squeeze any of the 1021 toothpaste out.

And you don't want the 1022 toothpaste bottle flying out of your 1023 hands, so it's just enough to hang on to 1024 it.

For those of you at home that want to 1025 grab a toothpaste bottle, go ahead, do 1026 it, take the cap off of it and start 1027 moving your arm back and forth to get the 1028 correct tension through your grip.

Okay, 1029 so you want to be light, light, light on 1030 your pressure, you don't need to squeeze 1031 this thing.

Okay, choking the golf club 1032 is not going to do any good, okay?

All 1033 it's going to do is just slow down the 1034 rate of rotation in it.

And you're going 1035 to see the faces wide open, you're going 1036 to get a bunch of high blocks out to the 1037 right hand side.

Okay, so once you get 1038 your grip, or, I'm sorry, the club in 1039 your hands and you've got your grip 1040 pressure down, you're going to follow the 1041 exact same process.

Now, remember, the 1042 golf club reacts to the way that you move 1043 your body.

I just gave you guys some 1044 specific checkpoints where I said, keep 1045 your left arm moving underneath your 1046 shoulder, very, very relaxed, and focus 1047 on where your wrist is.

If you do that 1048 and you don't focus on the golf club at 1049 all, guess what's going to happen?

The 1050 golf club is going to release properly, 1051 and it's going to start to bottom out on 1052 its own.

You're going to notice that when 1053 Craig starts doing this, I'm going to get 1054 out of his way because I don't want to 1055 get my shins taken out.

1056 You're going to hear him kind of brushing 1057 the carpet.

1058 It's going to be done with very little 1059 effort.

So I want you to go ahead and 1060 take your setup.

You're going to put 1061 yourself in a preset impact position.

1062 Your left arm is going to be just hanging 1063 down there freely.

1064 You're going to go ahead and let the arms 1065 swing back.

If your chest turns back a 1066 little bit at this point, that's 1067 perfectly fine.

You don't need to lock 1068 your body in place.

Remember, we've 1069 always talked about this through every 1070 session.

You don't need to make this a 1071 workout program.

1072 Craig, now on tension levels, what do you 1073 feel for the left arm?

1074 One.

One.

1075 It really increased because of the weight 1076 of the club.

1077 One.

1078 I am.

1079 I'm a very lazy player.

Yeah, I like 1080 that.

So again, the pressure is very 1081 high.

It feels like the club is kind of 1082 flopping all over the place when he does 1083 1084 You're not trying to be in control of 1085 something that's doing its job for 1086 itself.

It's swinging on an incline 1087 plane, and you can see that it wants to 1088 rotate.

He's just focusing on keeping his 1089 left arm moving underneath his shoulder.

1090 and letting his wrist rotate into those 1091 two checkpoints that we just talked 1092 about.

You can see that once you get 1093 really proficient with this, you can pick 1094 a piece of carpet or a blade of grass, 1095 and your golf club should bottom out in 1096 the same spot every time.

1097 If you're noticing that your club's not 1098 bottoming out in the same spot, or it's 1099 not bottoming out at all, then number 1100 one, you're too tense.

1101 You're way too tense, and then you're 1102 also trying to manipulate something 1103 through your hand or your wrist.

You need 1104 to allow that stuff to feel like it is 1105 just.

Sloppy out of control.

That's the 1106 whole point here.

Remember what Lil' 1107 Balboa said.

You gotta get out of control 1108 to get control.

1109 Now, once you get really professional 1110 with this, guess what you can do?

You can 1111 start hitting golf balls.

That's right.

1112 And everybody's like, we can already hit 1113 golf balls with this?

Yes, you can.

We 1114 can start hitting golf balls.

We've got a 1115 couple of little practice balls here.

For 1116 those of you at home that have either 1117 some foam balls or some plastic balls 1118 that we have here, you can use these in 1119 the house.

If you have regular golf balls 1120 and you've got a nice little front yard 1121 you can go out to, Perfectly fine, you 1122 can do this.

These golf balls when you 1123 hit regular golf balls are not going to 1124 go anything more than how many yards, 1125 five, five, ten, ten, maybe.

I mean, the 1126 the main thing is, don't focus on the 1127 distance right now, focus on getting the 1128 move down.

And if it juts out a little 1129 bit further, it juts out a little bit 1130 further.

But your goal isn't to try to 1131 hit it somewhere right now, right, 1132 exactly.

So what you're going to be 1133 doing, though, is you're going to be 1134 hyper focused on what your left arm and 1135 your left wrist you're doing.

You're 1136 going to allow the golf club to react, 1137 which in turn is going to allow the golf 1138 ball to react.

And that's the whole name 1139 of the game.

Is doing as little as you 1140 possibly can and letting the golf club 1141 and the golf ball do their thing.

Okay, 1142 so let's go ahead and show them what that 1143 looks like.

I'll be shagging balls.

I 1144 told you guys, we're going to be doing 1145 this, so you're going to go ahead and 1146 preset yourself at impact.

So open up 35 1147 degrees or so if you need to get a little 1148 bit less than that to keep yourself 1149 comfortable, you can get the left arm 1150 continuing to swing now if you watch.

1151 Craig didn't even care where his golf 1152 ball went.

Why is that?

Well, because he 1153 kept his head, his chest down, right.

10 1154 to 10 is chest down.

Because this is not 1155 a really pretty shot, believe me, it's 1156 not, it's not going that far.

Nobody's 1157 standing on the sidelines, going really 1158 good.

That was really, I mean, we will.

1159 We'll stand on the sidelines for you, but 1160 your job is to focus on what you're doing 1161 with your body.

We don't care now when 1162 you get really, really good at this.

Like 1163 Craig and I can sit here and do probably 1164 a thousand reps in a row.

Where you go 1165 out there and you look and you have your 1166 golf balls all in this little hula hoop.

1167 And that's when you know that you've got 1168 the proper control of your gospel.

That's 1169 when you know that.

When you can stand on 1170 the back of the tee at a PGA Tour event 1171 and talk with the guys.

And you're doing 1172 this with your lead arm, kind of flailing 1173 around, you know that you've got command.

1174 You know that you've got control of 1175 something you don't need to have control 1176 1177 That'll make more sense to you as we get 1178 further into it.

Again, now the next 1179 phase here is just start putting a ball 1180 in.

What you're going to be looking for, 1181 for those of you that are going to look 1182 out and see your golf ball when it's all 1183 done, is that your ball should have come 1184 off the face and it should have gone 1185 really low.

It shouldn't have gone 1186 anything more than 10 or 12 yards.

If it 1187 goes anything more than that, You're 1188 trying to do too much, okay?

Start out 1189 small again.

Your job is to start small 1190 and then work on adding more pieces to 1191 it, right?

So that's it.

So you start out 1192 without your, um, without the golf club 1193 in your hands.

You train your left arm to 1194 be free flowing.

You're trained to risk 1195 to hit those three positions, and then 1196 you go ahead and just start hitting some 1197 golf balls.

After you have the golf club 1198 estimates, you want to make sure that you 1199 hit these key checkpoints now.

One very 1200 big point that Craig and I are about to 1201 make.

1202 Any time that you work on a drill of this 1203 nature, you're working on the hitting 1204 area.

This is the most important area of 1205 the golf swing.

This is where you need to 1206 be perfect.

So when you stop and you do a 1207 rep, or I'm sorry, after you complete a 1208 rep, what you're going to notice here, 1209 what Craig does, is he holds his 1210 position.

So after he does this rep, 1211 and if you were to go back in time, did 1212 you clunk that one?

Yeah.

Did that one 1213 good?

Yeah.

All right.

1214 So it's all right if you clunked it.

I've 1215 clunked it before.

1216 So anyways.

1217 But you're seeing him, and he did this.

1218 You could rewind the video and look at.

1219 He held every one of his wrists.

Why do 1220 we want him to hold his rep so he can 1221 double check he can look over his left 1222 wrist?

Is it flat?

Yes, okay, is the club 1223 towed up over here?

Yes, did I keep my 1224 left arm moving?

Yes, that's how you want 1225 to look at.

If it's cupped, or if his 1226 club face is in a different position than 1227 what we're about to talk about here, then 1228 you need to fix it.

That's what it's all 1229 about.

I can't tell you how many times 1230 would Craig have, and I have students 1231 that come into town and Craig give them 1232 an example.

1233 Okay, they do this and then they don't 1234 hold the position and they're like Oh, 1235 how'd it go?

1236 This is we don't.

This is what they 1237 typically do with the golf balls.

They 1238 get up here and they're like, all right.

1239 I'm so excited to have the golf ball and 1240 they're like this.

All right.

I'm gonna 1241 let it rotate back There we go Yeah, I 1242 made the entire rep, right?

1243 And then it starts flopping around.

They 1244 have no idea what they actually just did.

1245 So again, the important part is, don't 1246 get wrapped up more golf balls now.

1247 Here's the addicting part, is that when 1248 you start doing this right, you're going 1249 to start hitting the center of the club 1250 face.

1251 When you start hitting the center of the 1252 club face, you'll be like, oh man, now I 1253 know what I paid $2,000 for these golf 1254 clubs for, right?

I can start feeling 1255 them.

Then you can start looking out, and 1256 you can start making sure that your balls 1257 are flying nice and straight.

Now, Here's 1258 a good checkpoint for those of you that 1259 like to focus on things in the exact 1260 opposite order of what we've been 1261 teaching you.

You'd like to focus on the 1262 golf club first, which we don't ever 1263 advocate, 1264 is think about the golf club going from 1265 toe up to toe up, right?

So for those of 1266 you that have a hard time maintaining 1267 kinesthetic awareness, and this in fact 1268 happens, I had a lesson yesterday with a 1269 guy that he said, he came out and said to 1270 me, he's like, I have no awareness in my 1271 heart.

And I was like, well, this is 1272 really good information.

So sometimes you 1273 got to do things a little bit differently 1274 in order to be able to get them to the 1275 end result.

So you can focus on the toe 1276 of the club being out to the sky out 1277 here, and the toe of the club being out 1278 to the sky over here.

It's going to give 1279 you the same sort of result, but do that 1280 without any sort of tension.

Okay.

So 1281 that's it.

Okay.

Now you just learned the 1282 most important part of elsewhere.

Now, 1283 how do we make it go faster?

1284 Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

We're going to 1285 add more components to it.

1286 Now, Craig and I have gone through this 1287 stuff for quite a few years now, and we 1288 figured that it's best to keep your right 1289 hand, your troublemaker, off the golf 1290 club and start adding a little bit of 1291 weight shift.

Now when you start adding 1292 weight shift, Under no circumstance do we 1293 want you wrapping the club around your 1294 neck and doing these things in kamikaze 1295 mode, where you're trying to hit it 130 1296 yards.

1297 Stay small.

Give yourself another little 1298 benchmark here.

So if you're getting 12 1299 to 15 yards, allow your weight shift to 1300 add up to 20 to 25 yards.

If you're not 1301 trying to hit the golf ball far, believe 1302 me, Craig and I can hit the ball playing 1303 far enough.

We don't need to see you hit 1304 it far enough.

We need you to look out 1305 and see your golf balls flying really, 1306 really straight, really tight.

Now, if 1307 you notice that your balls are kind of 1308 flying off to the right, a little bit, 1309 flying off to the left.

Then you're going 1310 to need to go back and you're going to 1311 need to get the golf club out of your 1312 hands.

Into a whole bunch more reps where 1313 you focus on exactly what the left wrist 1314 position is doing.

Okay, really, really 1315 important 1316 Now, let's add some weight shift to it, 1317 but I do want to answer William's 1318 question as it comes in here.

Is the pec 1319 and the bicep connected?

So when you're 1320 doing a static position, when you're 1321 starting from a static impact position, 1322 you're going to feel a little bit more 1323 connection with the left arm and the pec 1324 here.

Now, when we start turning back 1325 here, when we start actually making these 1326 movements, when we start putting things 1327 together, You're going to feel just a 1328 little bit of connection at the very 1329 tippy top of the bicep and the chest.

I 1330 don't want you ramming the arm up into 1331 your chest and you start creating all 1332 these faults.

That.

We just worked our 1333 asses off for the last two and a half 1334 weeks to try to get out of it, right?

So 1335 really important that you understand when 1336 you're starting in a static address 1337 position, you can allow the arm to kind 1338 of work across you just a little bit.

1339 You're training things independently, 1340 right?

That's the whole point is strip 1341 things down to the umpteenth degree, do 1342 it piece by piece, and then stack in.

You 1343 start stacking in like we're doing here, 1344 and you'll see that this stuff becomes a 1345 piece of cake.

Now, let's add weight 1346 shape.

Sure.

So good way for you guys to 1347 think about this stuff.

Is I do a 1348 pressure to your right ankle?

Turn your 1349 body back so you're going to turn about 1350 maybe 45 degrees or so with your 1351 shoulders.

Now look at where Craig's arm 1352 is.

It's not in a position where he's got 1353 it all the way up to nine 1354 we're going to fly to where you are and 1355 we're going to punch you.

Okay?

Because 1356 that's just signaling to us that you're 1357 trying to get way too much out of the 1358 drill.

Okay?

You're just trying to get 1359 way too much.

So you just need to feel 1360 like you're kind of staying a little bit 1361 wide going back.

And you're just not 1362 letting your wrist get over cocked.

1363 You're just going to let enough support 1364 there to get the club chat parallel to 1365 the ground or just slightly above.

And 1366 then your first move is do what?

Well, 1367 it's to shift your weight back over to 1368 your left side.

So a good way, and this 1369 is something I did in the Perfecting Your 1370 Impact series where it's video number 1371 two.

I have you pressure your right 1372 ankle, turn back, and I have you pressure 1373 your left ankle, and then let it release.

1374 That's the way that you can kind of think 1375 about this stuff at home.

Now, in a very 1376 short space, it's very hard to move 1377 dynamically.

It's hard to squat down, 1378 post up, and then get the hips up.

You're 1379 really not going to find yourself having 1380 a whole lot of time to do that.

So be 1381 more meticulous about getting your weight 1382 to feel like it's moving.

When we start 1383 adding more to it, then you can start 1384 really making sure that your legwork is 1385 100% fine.

You good with that?

Yeah, I'm 1386 good with that.

Okay, so we're going to 1387 pressure down into the right ankle.

1388 And we're going to turn our body back 45 1389 degrees, pressure down on the left ankle.

1390 Okay, then we go ahead and just let that 1391 left arm release on through.

So you can 1392 do it in slow, chunky pieces at first.

I 1393 know everybody at home right now is 1394 already doing it where you're dynamically 1395 moving, you're free-flowing, you're up 1396 flying through your ceiling.

1397 Start out slow and chunky because, again, 1398 your brain needs to be fed the correct 1399 way.

You break it into pieces like this, 1400 this is how you're going to get the 1401 movements perfect.

1402 All right, so right ankle, press it in 1403 the ground.

1404 Turn the body back about 45 degrees.

1405 Notice how his lead arm is staying nice 1406 and straight and relaxed.

Club shaft is 1407 parallel to the ground.

1408 Butt end of the club is pointed down the 1409 target line.

It's not pointed out here to 1410 right field, and it's not pointed back 1411 here.

1412 It's pointed directly down the target 1413 line.

Why do we want to check this?

Well, 1414 because this is going to be a determining 1415 factor where your swing pain is.

If you 1416 start having the club where it's pointed 1417 out to me over here, 1418 in front of him, 1419 this is where you'd be coming too far 1420 from the inside.

Now, what he's going to 1421 have to force his wrist to do at this 1422 point, Is have a whole lot of movement to 1423 it, right?

And I'll tell you right now.

1424 Supination, okay, is a very weak 1425 movement.

pronation is a very strong 1426 movement, the musculature that you have 1427 available to you to be able to supinate 1428 your wrist.

It's very hard for you to be 1429 able to do that when the club is really 1430 back behind you.

So these little check 1431 points that we're giving you are really 1432 important in the process.

Okay, so when 1433 you turn back, but in the club pointed 1434 down the target line, okay, you're 1435 getting your your wrist set to be where 1436 the club shafts.

Curve off to the ground, 1437 get some pressure underneath the right 1438 angle, you shift back on your left side, 1439 Then let the left arm move on through.

1440 Okay?

1441 Do it again?

Let's do it with some balls 1442 and start moving some fluid in here.

1443 All right, so now you're going to hear my 1444 cue words start to get a little bit 1445 faster.

So you're going to press down 1446 right ankle, turn, press left, release.

1447 Don't worry about it.

1448 Press the right ankle on the ground, 1449 turn, shift left.

1450 So now it's going to be right ankle, left 1451 ankle, release.

Right ankle, left ankle, 1452 release.

1453 You say those to yourself over and over 1454 and over again, you're going to look just 1455 like Craig here.

Now, 1456 what Craig is actually happening here, or 1457 what's happening when Craig's doing this, 1458 is if you watch the golf club, it's 1459 bottoming out in the same spot every 1460 single time.

Why is that?

Because he's 1461 doing nothing to manipulate.

He's 1462 allowing his body to move into positions 1463 that are going to dictate that bottom out 1464 point.

That's why we started out with 1465 today's key point of talking about the 1466 left shoulder position.

If your left 1467 shoulder is back and your weight shifts, 1468 the bottom out point is going to shift 1469 back every day.

Why am I wearing out this 1470 carpet back here on the right-hand side 1471 when I want it to be up underneath my 1472 left shoulder?

Something that's very, 1473 very common.

1474 Okay?

1475 So right ankle, shift left ankle, let it 1476 1477 That's it.

Piece of cake.

So you can do 1478 this with golf balls.

You can do it with 1479 foam balls, practice balls, or you can do 1480 it with real golf balls.

If you're doing 1481 it with real golf balls, Make sure that 1482 you can look out at the end of this and 1483 see that your golf balls are really tight 1484 before you start stacking in this next 1485 piece.

Okay?

When we're starting to stack 1486 in this next piece, 1487 I know a lot of you guys are going to 1488 probably jump to this part.

I'm not 1489 stupid.

1490 Craig is not stupid, but we were born at 1491 night, but not last night.

1492 If you start stacking in this next piece 1493 and you haven't trained your lead hand 1494 and lead arm to be able to be almost 1495 perfect.

When you look out and see all 1496 your golf balls, then you're really doing 1497 yourself a whole lot of disservice.

I 1498 promise you.

1499 Because it's very easy to get this false 1500 sense of control when your trail hand 1501 comes back on the side of the golf club.

1502 Because it can do all of the movements 1503 for you.

It can take and manipulate what 1504 the left hand is doing.

Now, going back 1505 to that point that Craig and I made at 1506 the start of the session, we said good 1507 ball strikers are going to be rotating 1508 club face between 250 degrees per second, 1509 upwards of 350 degrees per second.

Your 1510 right hand is in a position to get it to 1511 rotate upwards of 800 to 1200.

We've even 1512 seen people measure up at 1600 degrees 1513 per second.

Now think about that.

1514 250 to 350 degrees per second, upwards of 1515 1600 degrees per second as the other end 1516 of the spectrum.

That's why amateur 1517 golfers tend to struggle.

I, to this day, 1518 if I get a chance to play golf, I'll work 1519 on just a little left hand on the drills 1520 at some point.

And those of you that 1521 actually go through the process of this, 1522 we'll get either emails or we'll get 1523 swing review sent in where they say, my 1524 short game has even become better.

Right?

1525 I'm sure you get that all the time.

I get 1526 that all the time.

And working on the 1527 release and how I'm shooting better.

Yep, 1528 exactly.

So this stuff that we're doing, 1529 it might seem a little bit mundane.

It 1530 might seem a little bit monotonous.

But 1531 this is golf, right?

This is where we put 1532 the rubber to the road.

If you can't do 1533 this stuff perfectly with your left arm 1534 on the golf ball or your lead arm, I 1535 should say.

Then you have no business 1536 putting the trail hat on there, because 1537 it'll start manipulating the face and the 1538 path quicker than you can say.

1539 shankopotamus.

1540 And that's one of the questions I get 1541 often is like, Greg, how do you hit it so 1542 straight?

I'm like, well, I hit it 1543 straight because I'm not trying to, 1544 because I'm not trying to manipulate this 1545 clubface into impact.

If I let Newton do 1546 his job, I don't have to worry about it.

1547 The radio rotation down there is going to 1548 be very consistent.

The clubface is 1549 always going to square out.

And if you 1550 really.

want to get the consistency, 1551 this has to be in control, right?

It's 1552 the only this guy that's going to come in 1553 and wreck your world when it comes to 1554 trying to hit everything.

Nice and solid 1555 and consistent.

So if you don't have this 1556 trained and you don't have this mastered, 1557 don't worry about this component.

Yeah, 1558 so Jay, so just so you know, 1559 We actually have another screen that's 1560 back here that's talking to us about how 1561 much bandwidth we're actually producing 1562 and stuff.

And right now we're flying.

So 1563 if you're seeing the screen go a little 1564 bit blurry on your side, and then all of 1565 a sudden it comes back.

That could be a 1566 potential bandwidth issue on your side.

1567 So just remember when you get the replay 1568 of today's session, you'll see exactly 1569 what we were broadcasting it.

You'll see 1570 that.

It generally starts out a little 1571 bit on the fuzzy side, then it comes 1572 right back into a pretty crystal clear 1573 version.

So if you are seeing a little 1574 bit fuzzy, then don't worry.

You can, you 1575 can look at a replay and we're checking 1576 the speed right now, it's pretty bad.

So, 1577 um, all right, so now next piece, so you 1578 get really good with this left hand, left 1579 arm stuff, you're like piece of cake, all 1580 right.

I got all my golf balls out there 1581 in this technical hulu.

I went out there 1582 and I hit 50 golf balls, And I got all 50 1583 of them, right.

Dead nuts on the center 1584 of the face.

Now I'm ready to start 1585 adding more to it.

1586 This is, again, one of the things that 1587 Craig and I talked about before we came 1588 on camera today, how we want to introduce 1589 the right hand.

Now, there are multiple 1590 ways to do this.

We've had in the past 1591 where we have the right hand near the 1592 side of the golf club, where it's not 1593 touching.

It just follows along.

1594 We've had the fingertips touching it.

1595 We've had the right hand completely on 1596 the club.

We find that right now.

It's 1597 probably best if you just touch the side 1598 of the club with a point where you're in 1599 your thumb.

Because, again, You're going 1600 to see that when it's on the side of the 1601 club, it still has some, it's the very.

1602 It has a lot of capability about being 1603 able to make a lot of push movements and 1604 a lot of rotational movements.

So just by 1605 taking it and stopping it on the club and 1606 just touching it and letting it follow 1607 along with those left hand movements is a 1608 perfect way to do this.

Now, I do not, 1609 and I repeat, do not.

I should say, we do 1610 not watch you hanging on the golf club 1611 all the way.

Post impact.

You want your 1612 right hand to come off the golf club.

1613 Because there's going to be some key 1614 points that you want to check here.

Okay, 1615 so now you're going to take the point of 1616 finger in the thumb, and you're going to 1617 touch the side of the shaft, 1618 and you're going to go ahead and pressure 1619 down on your right ankle, and you're 1620 going to turn your body back.

Same exact 1621 position, 1622 okay?

It's not going back far yet.

Bear 1623 with us.

We'll get you there.

1624 Shift back over to the left side, okay, 1625 and then let it release, and your right 1626 hand is going to now come off the golf 1627 club at the point of contact.

Okay, now 1628 if you look at Craig, look here very 1629 closely.

Okay, you can see that his upper 1630 body has not moved along with his golf 1631 club.

It has stayed right where it was, 1632 his head and his chest have stayed right 1633 where they are.

This is a huge point.

1634 Because when the right hand likes to stay 1635 on the club, it likes to the right 1636 shoulder likes to stay activated.

And it 1637 likes to turn really, really hard.

And 1638 this can force your release actually to 1639 be a little bit more on the blade side.

1640 So what that would look like with your 1641 wrist post impact is your wrist would 1642 look kind of like this, and your body's 1643 turned a lot more right.

So something 1644 would be rotating and moving the club 1645 from one side to the other, and it's not 1646 your wrist.

So you want to start out with 1647 your right hand coming off the golf club, 1648 and you want to check to make sure that 1649 your chest doesn't turn past impact.

Now, 1650 we understand that when the right hand 1651 stays on the club, the chest is going to 1652 turn.

It's going to turn as a byproduct 1653 of the golf club pulling our body, or I'm 1654 sorry, as a golf club has a lot of 1655 momentum and inertia, it's pulling the 1656 body around.

Also, with the right hand 1657 staying on the club, your shoulders have 1658 to do that.

1659 It's just a matter of being able to be 1660 disciplined enough right now to be able 1661 to get the right hand off.

So you don't 1662 have any function at all.

Post impact 1663 again, you're probably like, Well, why do 1664 I even care?

Post impact stuff is a way 1665 for Craig and I to be able to reverse 1666 diagnose things that are going on.

In the 1667 swing, right?

We are able to see that 1668 your body turned, or your left wrist is 1669 still in a little bit of a sluggish 1670 position right here.

We need to be able 1671 to fix those things.

So you want to start 1672 out by doing these things exactly the 1673 same way, with the right hand coming off.

1674 Now, let's just say, all of a sudden, 1675 over the next couple weeks, you're like, 1676 I've got a piece of cake here, right?

Now 1677 I'm ready to start putting some speed to 1678 it.

Well, you've got a couple options.

1679 You can either end and follow one with 1680 right hand all the way through impact, or 1681 you can start going into a full nine to 1682 three.

What do you like to do, Craig?

1683 I like to go ahead and hit it and let it 1684 go to a full nine to three.

1685 It's a miniature version of the swing.

1686 It's kind of what really matters, the 1687 weight, using the legs, letting the club 1688 release.

Yeah.

1689 So that's exactly what we're going to do 1690 here today.

So now this is when we start 1691 getting really proficient.

And I'm going 1692 to move out of the way.

1693 What you're going to see here is Craig is 1694 now going to let the right hand follow 1695 along.

But now when we start finishing 1696 off our 9 1697 You're going to see that it's just a 1698 little bit underneath, parallel to the 1699 ground, Right from this spot.

And he's 1700 going to shift over to his left side and 1701 he's going to go ahead and let it 1702 release, Okay, Now that was done, very 1703 slow and chunky right now, what this is 1704 going to look like when this is all said 1705 and done.

Let's show him a good full, 1706 solid 9 to 3, 1707 That's it.

Now, that's how you create the 1708 whip leg sensation out of the golf club 1709 is by using your body, using weight 1710 shift, And installing the body up and 1711 letting your wrist do what we just spent 1712 the last 35 or 40 minutes of your life 1713 training to do.

This is all being 1714 controlled by the left arm and the left 1715 wrist, doing as little as it possibly 1716 can, and absolutely no assistance from 1717 the right hand at all.

It's following 1718 along those movements.

Remember, when you 1719 come down in the hitting area, you've 1720 developed these angles between.

The 1721 forearm and the bicep, and you develop 1722 these angles between the wrists.

This is 1723 that passive conduit that I was talking 1724 to you about.

That.

These angles are 1725 going to be depleted where, well, they're 1726 going to be depleted down at the bottom 1727 of the swing arm.

And that's all of that 1728 energy that you just built up and sort of 1729 just came out through your right arm for 1730 you.

I know we had this question last 1731 session was, What does my trail arm 1732 actually do in the swing?

Well, for now, 1733 during your your training wheel process, 1734 we want your right arm to be that 1735 passive.

1736 We don't want you working on like a throw 1737 the ball drill yet.

Throw the ball drill 1738 is just quite honestly the bane of our 1739 existence, 1740 right?

Because people work on that and 1741 they start heaving their right arm at it 1742 and they start throwing the golf club 1743 into this.

Really flippy, scoopy 1744 position.

And you have to remember, 1745 Here's a really big point that I like to 1746 make on a day-to-day basis with students 1747 is that.

You can touch the side of a golf 1748 club or the side of a water bottle.

You 1749 can just touch it with your fingertips.

1750 That doesn't take the functions of your 1751 arm out of the mix, right?

You can take 1752 your wrist and do this.

You didn't feel 1753 like you were squeezing the club too 1754 hard.

You can take your right arm and do 1755 this.

1756 Those movements right there are going to 1757 cause you to have breakdowns and impact.

1758 And a lot of times people associate, 1759 well, my grip pressure's really like my 1760 right hand.

I know it's not doing 1761 anything.

It doesn't matter.

Your right 1762 arm and your right shoulder still have a 1763 lot of function left to them.

And that's 1764 when the train came on quickly off the 1765 tracks.

I nailed it that time.

1766 Yeah, you did.

1767 Sometimes it gets a little tongue-tied.

1768 So for those of you that have sat in 1769 session before, I had a very hard time.

1770 Saying the train's coming off the track 1771 is correct.

Yeah, I would say the track, 1772 yeah.

So that's how you would reverse 1773 engineer this.

Golf swing.

Okay, you 1774 would start out by really, really small, 1775 left arm only stuff, without a golf club, 1776 training your left arm how to do 1777 independently.

Then you would put the 1778 golf ball back in there.

Not having any 1779 sort of weight shift, you start letting 1780 your left arm swing back and forth.

Now 1781 you have to challenge yourself.

You've 1782 got to put the golf ball there and you've 1783 got to be able to do these same movements 1784 before you start putting on pieces.

Now, 1785 why would I tell you that?

Well, because 1786 every single person on this golfing world 1787 has this instinct to try to hit the golf 1788 ball.

And when you start trying to hit 1789 the golf ball, you're going to get very, 1790 very erratic results.

You're going to see 1791 the ball flying all over the place.

1792 You're going to feel it coming off of the 1793 face really, really thin.

You're going to 1794 feel a little bit heavy.

1795 Until you can get past that hitting 1796 instinct, then you do not, and I repeat, 1797 do not start adding weight shift to the 1798 mix.

Okay, for anybody that's going to be 1799 working on it from this format, from the 1800 bottom up.

Or for those of you that have 1801 been working on it from the top down, 1802 which is what we're about to talk about 1803 here in a minute, You do not start trying 1804 to add more components to this until you 1805 can get your left hand and left arm to 1806 work perfectly.

And you do not have that 1807 hidden instinct in there anymore.

You 1808 start getting really good results.

I 1809 usually give people a benchmark.

You go 1810 out there and you get 50 golf balls and 1811 you get 48 or 49 of them.

Dead nuts on 1812 the center of the base, and you look out 1813 there.

And you can do that on a pretty 1814 regular basis.

Then you're ready to start 1815 adding moving parts to it.

1816 I know that might seem like a really, 1817 really daunting number, but trust us.

1818 This is where golf's made.

That's why we 1819 spend so much time talking about this 1820 area.

1821 This is how the golf ball flies through 1822 the air.

1823 80% of your golf shot's DNA, when you see 1824 that thing fly through the air, 80% is 1825 dictated by face angle.

1826 80%.

The other 20% is dictated by the 1827 cat.

1828 Think about that.

We've got to be 1829 precise.

For those of you that don't know 1830 how precise you have to be getting this 1831 golf ball fly straight, 1832 look at it.

1833 It'll probably take you out for playing 1834 golf.

That's the thing.

I always tell 1835 people, I'm like, if you actually knew 1836 what it took.

to hit a straight shot.

Am 1837 I looking at the numbers?

People will be 1838 like, all right, I can't do it.

I'm out.

1839 I'm going to go do something else.

But 1840 it's actually relatively easy to do it, 1841 but when you look at the numbers, you're 1842 like, it seems like this daunting task 1843 you'll never achieve.

Right, exactly.

And 1844 so, again, you have to take the time to 1845 go through these things in these really 1846 slow, methodical ways.

It sucks to do it, 1847 but when it's all said and done, you 1848 start going out there and playing your 1849 best golf, you'll see how important it 1850 was to be able to take that step on.

And 1851 Craig and I, like I said, even though 1852 we're not playing a whole lot of golf, 1853 We will probably spend as much time as we 1854 can working on either release or 9-3 1855 drills to be able to get the bat out of 1856 the ball.

I actually just did that last 1857 week when I went and played a stream 1858 song.

I went out and hit a day's worth of 1859 golf balls, from hip-hop to hip-hop.

1860 Because I know that I need to be able to 1861 control a club base when I go out there.

1862 I can't have the ball final over the 1863 place.

It was very productive for me.

I 1864 was able to take some good stuff to the 1865 golf course the next day.

That's it.

1866 You've got to be able to go and beat 1867 these things up by going through the 1868 really unsexy part of it.

Train it.

Train 1869 it some more.

Then train it some more 1870 even after that, and then start adding 1871 pieces in.

Now, this is the process for 1872 you to be able to get yourself.

Hitting 1873 some golf balls and working on your 1874 release and then working your way up to a 1875 good nine to three swing.

The nine to 1876 three swing is here to get you to hit the 1877 golf ball really solidly, but also get 1878 into some really good sound.

Impact 1879 positions here, so there's a lot of 1880 things that you're going to be looking 1881 for as far as impact is concerned.

We 1882 outline that in the following slides that 1883 are on the PDF.

We want you to spend some 1884 time looking at that so you.

You can go 1885 back and look at it on camera.

Because 1886 you're going to need to use a camera for 1887 this part, because you're moving to know 1888 that you're doing these things correctly.

1889 You have got those specific checkpoints 1890 on the other one.

1891 Now, 1892 the other end of the spectrum is for 1893 those of you that have done really, 1894 really well and you've got a lot of this 1895 stuff all mastered where you've got my 1896 back swing down, I've got a transition, 1897 I've got a squat square, I've got all 1898 that stuff in a good space.

Now you can 1899 start working on it from the top of the 1900 swing down.

And what that's going to look 1901 like, for those of you that have taken 1902 the time to train a left arm at the 1903 bottom here, it's not going to look any 1904 different.

You're going to go up to the 1905 top of your swing.

I'm going to get that 1906 weight because you're going to be moving 1907 pretty fast.

1908 Okay.

So you're going to move into your 1909 right side.

You're going to finish off 1910 the backswing.

And what you're going to 1911 see Craig do here is he's going to now 1912 squat to square and he's going to post 1913 up.

And his right hand is now coming off 1914 the golf club and he's letting it 1915 release.

So he just did that first rep 1916 really slow and chunky.

Okay.

1917 You're going to see that as he gets more 1918 reps going here, shifting left.

Closing 1919 out, letting him release, he's going to 1920 start ramping this up into almost full 1921 speed here in just a few minutes.

Okay, 1922 That's exactly how we want even those 1923 advanced players at home to be able to go 1924 through this.

Because you've got some 1925 checkpoints on the lead side of the body 1926 that you need to be able to check out, 1927 Okay, And then you're going to start 1928 trying to take out some of these pauses 1929 now.

Let's let's talk about this next 1930 step.

So Craig's now going to go out 1931 there.

You saw him squat to square and 1932 then he closed up.

Now what he's going to 1933 do is he's going to load to the top of 1934 the swing.

And he's going to try to do 1935 his squat to square and his post up as 1936 one piece.

So you're going to 1937 automatically see what it's like to now 1938 move the club a little bit faster by 1939 taking out a piece.

1940 So you can see the club kind of getting a 1941 little bit more whip.

1942 Now you stay doing this for a good bit of 1943 time.

You get a lot of reps under your 1944 belt.

You're looking for positions.

You 1945 can even hit golf balls like this.

1946 Perfectly fine.

1947 Then what you try to do is you start 1948 trying to take out the pause at the top.

1949 Okay.

And this is for the people that are 1950 going to get really advanced with this 1951 stuff.

You start trying to take out that 1952 pause.

1953 Okay, and then you make it almost a full 1954 ball swing.

Now, each and every one of 1955 these reps, you see Craig's right hand 1956 coming off the golf boat.

We want you to 1957 stay here.

Okay?

When you get to a point 1958 where you're hitting golf balls, your 1959 ball's flying really straight and you 1960 start hanging out with the right hand.

1961 All the way through, all the way through 1962 your finished position, and everybody 1963 always asks us, Welcome.

You guys haven't 1964 talked about a follow through?

What do we 1965 do on a follow through?

A follow through 1966 is the safest way for you to be able to 1967 decelerate the golf ball.

Because the 1968 club's going to be moving really fast 1969 when this is all said and done.

When Greg 1970 and I are moving this stuff at full 1971 speed, you're going to see that club 1972 wants to pull you around.

You're going to 1973 get up on your right toe.

You're going to 1974 be in that full finish position where 1975 everybody can take pictures.

But for now, 1976 when you're starting to blend these 1977 things together, you're probably not 1978 going to have that much speed in.

1979 So that's how we want you to go about 1980 this.

Even those people that are going to 1981 work from the top down are going to have 1982 to do it slow and chunky at first.

Then 1983 you start trying to take out some of the 1984 pauses.

You take out that middle pause.

1985 You start working in your down squeeze 1986 one piece, then you start trying to blend 1987 the two together.

Then you start trying 1988 to hit some golf balls with it, and then 1989 you report back to us on how you're 1990 hitting the golf ball.

But I would 1991 suggest that each and every time you go 1992 out and hit golf balls, or you're going 1993 to try to hit golf balls.

When you get to 1994 a full swing format, you want to try to 1995 get at least three to five good reps in 1996 before you hit each ball.

And that's 1997 anecdotal.

Like, some people like to do 1998 more reps, some people like to do less.

1999 Now, tell people if you're going to go 2000 out there, you're going to do like a one 2001 -to-one ratio where you're going to do one 2002 practice swing, one golf ball, well, your 2003 practice swing better be freaking 2004 perfect, and your golf ball swing better 2005 be perfect.

Because otherwise you're 2006 going to be at a net zero.

For every good 2007 rep that you do, and every bad rep you 2008 do, you're sitting there and you're just 2009 wasting your time, right?

So that's why 2010 it's always best to work off of ratios, 2011 like doing three to progress.

I have some 2012 players that play, you know, we're 2013 getting paid to play this game.

That will 2014 do 10, 15, 20 reps, right?

That's what it 2015 takes.

You've been there, you've done 2016 that, you know, you're putting you 2017 through the grinder.

It wasn't, you were 2018 not hitting balls during your session, 2019 you were doing a lot, 2020 Rep, checking, rep, checking, then maybe 2021 hit a golf ball.

Right, right.

I had a 2022 collegiate player come in last year that 2023 he was like, his dad called me up, he was 2024 like, I want to come in for three days 2025 worth of instructions.

I was like, that 2026 is overkill because he wants to come in 2027 for like four or five hours a day.

I was 2028 like, 2029 that's going to be really, Really tough.

2030 Because I'm not going to give him much 2031 more instruction than after the first 2032 hour or two, because I'm going to train 2033 his body to do something different.

And I 2034 literally sat this time just when this 2035 kid was.

And I watched him hit three golf 2036 balls over three days.

I mean, that's 2037 really, really tough as a golf instructor 2038 not to sit out there and watch a ball 2039 fly.

Because I, especially with a good 2040 player, I want to see it fly.

But that's 2041 the if he understands what it takes to be 2042 able to restructure the brain, that's 2043 what he was here in town for.

And so 2044 that's how we want you to go through this 2045 stuff at each, each one of these things 2046 that we give you.

As far as checkpoints 2047 or all these slides.

All of this stuff is 2048 here for a reason, right?

You've got to 2049 be able to have these things in your 2050 brain that you know what you're going out 2051 there to accomplish.

If you go out there 2052 and you're like, I'm going to take on 35 2053 different things at once.

Well, guess 2054 what?

You're going to be sitting in these 2055 interviews and be like, we're going to be 2056 able to see it.

Start and go, okay, I'm 2057 going to work on my release today.

I'm 2058 going to work on making sure that I do my 2059 left arm stuff just as crazy and crazy 2060 outlined.

And then I'm going to start 2061 working on up to maybe even adding the 2062 golf limits.

My goal is not to try to get 2063 any golf balls, but I'm going to try to 2064 get these checkpoints and I'm going to 2065 try to be as fluid as possible.

You spend 2066 maybe the first day or two doing that and 2067 you start adding a little bit of weight, 2068 shift to it.

Or you add the golf ball to 2069 it and you start getting these things to 2070 work for you.

And you see that you can 2071 have a whole bunch more speed to it very, 2072 very quickly.

Right.

And speaking of 2073 speed, though, I want to keep hitting 2074 this point down because, as Chris 2075 mentioned earlier, 2076 One of the things that we get all the 2077 time is everybody does work on throw the 2078 ball because they think that everything 2079 is coming from that right arm for speed.

2080 It is a passive conduit.

And in past boot 2081 camps, Chris has kind of phrased it like 2082 if you're a boxer and you're throwing a 2083 punch, if you wanted to really give some 2084 power.

Or some oomph behind it.

You 2085 wouldn't sit here and throw your arm this 2086 way.

The strength isn't by how fast you 2087 can move your arm.

It's the fact that 2088 you're loading, you're rotating, you're 2089 transferring the energy through your 2090 body, through your arm, into the punch.

2091 So when you're doing this, I don't want 2092 you when you start seeing excitement, or 2093 you start getting excited and you start 2094 seeing the ball flying, you want to start 2095 adding power.

I don't want you to think 2096 like, oh, OK, I remember throwing the 2097 ball.

I'm just going to take my right 2098 arm.

And that's it's transferring through 2099 the arm.

You just touching the side of 2100 the club is going to automatically 2101 increase its pace.

Then you'd be really 2102 surprised how little Chris and myself and 2103 Chuck.

Use or even think about what this 2104 right arm's doing exactly.

And that's one 2105 of the things going back to.

One of the 2106 first things we said in in the first 2107 session of this camp was that this golf 2108 swing is going to feel like you got a lot 2109 left in the tank to be able to use up.

2110 Because you're so prone to use your arms 2111 and your shoulders, right?

You can use 2112 that brute force, arm strength, and in 2113 fact, we're not using that at all.

That's 2114 how we're producing, our speed is, we're 2115 getting, we're using our legs.

Okay, 2116 Chuck will tell you, I'll tell you, I'm 2117 just using my legs and the hands.

Arms 2118 are following along, right?

And so a lot 2119 of times we're just not as sensitive in 2120 our legs.

We don't want to wake our legs 2121 up.

Why?

Well, because it's easier for us 2122 to be able to move from up here and so 2123 you'll see that.

If you take the time and 2124 go through these processes and you and 2125 you kind of go through the unsexy part of 2126 it.

Then, naturally, what's going to 2127 happen is that you're going to start 2128 moving subconsciously a lot faster, 2129 that's the that's.

The fun part is when 2130 you start seeing people like, move 2131 through these positions.

After you can 2132 see them doing a ton of reps, they start 2133 like, Well, I thought it was actually 2134 causing this spot, and they're not, 2135 they're actually moving into, like, 2136 almost fluidity, and that's when you 2137 really start to get it.

And so this stuff 2138 is all not for nothing, right?

This stuff 2139 is all been.

It's a lot of work being 2140 able to figure out the best ways for us 2141 to be able to pass this information along 2142 to students, right?

And so we wanted to 2143 be able to give you two different looks.

2144 I personally like the idea of building 2145 things from the bottom up for a lot of 2146 players.

Because again, it's going to 2147 allow you to start working through 2148 impact.

It's going to take some of the 2149 monotony out of not being able to hit 2150 balls.

You can hit balls in this, you can 2151 get feedback from the strike itself.

And 2152 I like a slow increase to that.

So you 2153 can keep things in a good space and then 2154 you'll eventually get to a point where 2155 you're full swing.

But I also know that I 2156 can't be a fool that a lot of times we go 2157 out in the golf course.

We need something 2158 that's going to be more of a full swing 2159 format.

So you got to have kind of this 2160 balancing point and so that's where we're 2161 going to kind of put it back in your 2162 hands.

And we'll work with you guys as we 2163 get further and further beyond camp.

Here 2164 to help you understand where you should 2165 be out of that process.

And so that's 2166 going to be the information for you 2167 today, guys.

That's going to be how 2168 you're going to get this stuff to the 2169 golf course.

And I want you to understand 2170 that.

2171 Our job does not stop today, right?

Just 2172 because you're leaving camp doesn't mean 2173 that you don't have support from us.

2174 Craig and I will do everything we can 2175 under the sun to make sure that you get 2176 this stuff working for you.

So continue 2177 to use us.

If you have questions that you 2178 want to talk about on the forums, post 2179 those questions.

If you have swings that 2180 you want to send in for review, send them 2181 in.

If you want to do a live session, 2182 because maybe you're just not getting 2183 anything that we talked about, then 2184 schedule a live session.

If you don't see 2185 a time available on Craig or my schedule, 2186 That's in those live sessions.

And email 2187 us and let us know that you want to see a 2188 time in there, and we'll generally work 2189 with you.

Because this stuff's important 2190 to us, right?

This is our live video.

2191 Just like a lot of you guys at home have 2192 jobs that are, you know, whatever you do 2193 in this world, you focus on doing those 2194 things as well as you can to help out 2195 your company.

Same thing with us.

We want 2196 to be able to help you guys play this 2197 freaking stupid game because it's a 2198 stupid game sometimes, but it's super 2199 fun.

It's always been really mean, right?

2200 It's always going to be that way.

And 2201 like this game has just been crazy.

I've 2202 played for 33 years and it never gets any 2203 nicer to you, but it's so fun.

2204 It's so fun.

It's the challenge.

It's a 2205 sport for all ages.

2206 We'd still have this thing driving us 2207 crazy when we were 7 o'clock.

2208 It's funny how a lot of the kids when I 2209 was growing up, I played all sports.

They 2210 never wanted to play golf.

2211 Obviously, I was playing golf at the 2212 time.

Now that they're older, they're 2213 like, wait a minute.

They don't have a 2214 pickup basketball game or baseball game.

2215 Everybody plays golf now.

2216 I need to get back into it because I can 2217 do this the next four years and it's fun.

2218 How come you didn't get me doing it 2219 earlier?

I thought it would be boring, 2220 but now it's fun because it's it.

2221 Right, exactly.

2222 That's the gist of what you're going to 2223 be doing over the next several months.

2224 Remember, what the dead drill is.

Dead 2225 drill.

It's a drill swim, right?

You're 2226 building this golf swing just like we 2227 spent the last three weeks doing.

We've 2228 built you up to where you can turn your 2229 body properly over your right leg.

You 2230 You can start maintaining or getting 2231 yourself loaded up with your right leg 2232 properly and create good separation.

We 2233 taught you how to shift your weight, 2234 transfer your weight, and unload.

And we 2235 taught you how to post up and be able to 2236 help transfer that energy through the 2237 release, which is where golf is going to 2238 be made.

And so now your job is to be 2239 able to just continue to drill this out.

2240 Go out to the golf course, maybe 2241 incorporate it into your pre-shower 2242 routine.

Where you take the dead drill 2243 and you put two or three swings out there 2244 and then you hit a golf ball.

Just to 2245 make sure that you're doing it fairly 2246 quickly, so you're not holding up the 2247 pace of play and then you're driving your 2248 playing corner is crazy now.

I think I 2249 did a video on this a while ago, we 2250 talked about the trust line as well, this 2251 is a video that's, um, that's been pretty 2252 productive for a lot of people that want 2253 to try to play through these changes.

And 2254 I'll kind of demonstrate it here for a 2255 second.

So if I'm hitting a golf ball out 2256 your direction at home, 2257 I'm going to be standing back behind the 2258 ball.

This is where I do a lot of my 2259 rehearsal work.

This is where you'll see 2260 people on the PGA Tour, whatever you see.

2261 People that play golf for a living will 2262 stand back behind the ball because 2263 they're visualizing the shot.

They're 2264 starting to get themselves mentally.

2265 All right.

But this is where I do my work 2266 with my swing.

So I'll drill a couple of 2267 times.

I'll do my drill swings.

2268 Okay.

And then when I walk into the golf 2269 shot, I want you to imagine a line that's 2270 three feet prior to where the golf ball 2271 is.

And as soon as you start walking in 2272 and you cross that line, This is the 2273 point where you need to stop thinking 2274 anything mechanically that you've ever 2275 done with pregnant or anything in the 2276 world of instruction.

You need to think 2277 about your target and producing a golf 2278 shot, that's it, that's all I want you to 2279 think about.

If you start thinking 2280 mechanically, when you're standing over 2281 the golf ball, you get the heck out of 2282 dodge.

Because at the end of the day, the 2283 girl that you brought to the dance is the 2284 one that you're stuck with, right?

You 2285 cannot change anything.

I can't emphasize 2286 that enough.

We have student after 2287 student community, and we give this as an 2288 example.

Usually at the start of boot 2289 camp, we're like, 2290 All right, Mark, what are you working on?

2291 Mark will be like, whatever the latest 2292 video checkpoint out is.

And I'm like, 2293 that's not what we told you to work on at 2294 all.

We told you to work on this.

And 2295 he's like, okay, I got nine swing 2296 thoughts going on here, right?

Have you 2297 got that guy?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I got nine 2298 swing thoughts.

And he walks you through 2299 the processes of all of his nine swing 2300 thoughts.

And he's like, I'm like, you 2301 actually think about these nine things.

2302 This is a real story.

And he's like, 2303 yeah, I go through nine checkpoints in my 2304 head to be able to make this golf a move.

2305 I'm like, how the hell are you not 2306 insane?

2307 And then he, so he hits a golf ball.

And 2308 I was like, okay, that's great.

So I 2309 videotape it.

We videotape him.

And then 2310 I say, okay, Mark, now what I want you to 2311 do is think about what you have for 2312 breakfast and breakfast only.

And he's 2313 like, Chris, impossible.

Never be able to 2314 get the golf ball moving without having 2315 an eye on screen.

I'm like, just shut up 2316 and hit, like, do it.

So he hits the next 2317 golf ball.

We videotape that one.

And 2318 he's like, I'm like, Mark, what did I 2319 have to do on that last week?

He's like, 2320 I thought about what I have for 2321 breakfast.

I'm like, you promised me?

2322 He's like, yeah, I promised you.

And we 2323 look at it.

I put both videos up on the 2324 iPad side by side for him.

And I go, do 2325 you tell me which training is which?

And 2326 you can't tell the difference.

2327 Why?

Well, because there is no 2328 difference.

Again, When you're over the 2329 golf ball and you're getting things ready 2330 to move at a very high rate of speed, and 2331 this field versus real aspect comes out, 2332 you're not going to be able to make any 2333 changes.

You might be able to subtly 2334 manipulate a club face angle here or 2335 there, but it's never going to be a 2336 momentous change.

So do the work behind 2337 the golf ball if you're going to be 2338 playing and practicing.

Do a number of 2339 reps back here where you're not holding 2340 up play.

Walk into the shot, clear your 2341 brain out, and let it fly.

2342 Anything you want to add on that?

No, I 2343 mean, that's the big thing is that when 2344 you go out and play golf, play golf, 2345 don't play swing.

As Chris is mentioning, 2346 when you go out there, let's say you are 2347 still struggling a little bit and you're 2348 working on things, but you got a big cast 2349 at the top.

You're like, all right, I'm 2350 going to go out today and I'm going to 2351 frisbee drill every shot.

So you're going 2352 to get up there, I'm going to get in 2353 front of the ball, and I'm going to have 2354 this big old down cock.

2355 Every single swing, if we were to film 2356 every single one, it would look exactly 2357 the same as what you're going to do.

I 2358 see that all the time.

People making 2359 these really crazy exaggerated swings.

2360 Like, I'm going to get this on the course 2361 today.

It takes time to implement these 2362 changes, right?

So when you go out to the 2363 golf course, don't go with a 17-point 2364 checklist.

Have your one or two things 2365 that you're really trying to accomplish.

2366 Get them before you step up to the golf 2367 ball.

Then when you go play, go play.

2368 So with that being said, that's it.

Now, 2369 here's what we're going to do.

We're not 2370 going to end the session like we've never 2371 had.

We're here to answer questions 2372 because now this is the time to ask the 2373 questions that you might have added.

2374 Anything.

2375 Anything goes.

It could be on any end of 2376 the spectrum.

We're here to make sure 2377 that you guys have everything in your 2378 brain that you need to be able to do.

To 2379 facilitate all the stuff that we just 2380 gave you.

As far as information is 2381 concerned.

2382 Whether it's practice plans, Each other 2383 person is going to have a little bit 2384 different view on practice plans, so we 2385 can help you out with that.

You might 2386 have a little bit more time in your 2387 schedule.

Some people only might have 30 2388 to 45 minutes.

We'll answer that stuff 2389 for you.

Whatever it is that you need to 2390 do to be able to get this stuff in your 2391 brain, to be able to do these movements 2392 correctly, 2393 we're going to stick around and help you 2394 out with that.

2395 For those of you that don't want to stick 2396 around for 2397 you want to start going to work, first 2398 off, let me say thank you.

Thank you very 2399 much for joining us.

Thank you.

2400 Because we know that this is a lot of 2401 time.

You should spend six plus hours 2402 with Craig and I going through a lot of 2403 information.

We understand that you have 2404 a lot of stuff going on in your own 2405 lives.

And we appreciate you taking the 2406 time to go through this with us.

And we 2407 really wish you guys the most success 2408 that you possibly could get with this 2409 stuff.

And we really, really want you to 2410 stay in touch with us.

We want you to 2411 tell us about, you know, any success you 2412 might have had with golfers.

If you find 2413 yourself struggling, stay in touch with 2414 us, we can help you do that stuff.

Okay, 2415 this again?

One big thing that Craig and 2416 I won't do is we won't just leave you 2417 hanging and make you feel like you're not 2418 going to get support.

Along the way, 2419 we're going to make sure that you have 2420 everything in place.

Okay, that's what 2421 it's all about.

So we thank you for 2422 taking the time to be here with us for 2423 these last three weeks.

Hopefully you 2424 guys get some really great success with 2425 it.

If you take your time, you go through 2426 the process of this stuff, you be 2427 diligent and you're disciplined, just 2428 like you've been kind of beating in your 2429 brain over these last few sessions, then 2430 you will get the best golf swing that you 2431 can potentially put out of the golf 2432 course anytime.

It's really, really fun 2433 to watch.

We both utilize it ourselves, 2434 and it's what it's all about.

So have a 2435 wonderful day to those of you.

For those 2436 of you that are going to stick around and 2437 ask questions, let's get to it.

Bye.

2438 So first one I saw come up here.

It said 2439 Pat, I assume you hate the impact snap.

I 2440 don't hate anything.

Greg, do you hate 2441 anything?

2442 It doesn't mean we like it.

It doesn't 2443 mean that we're going to use it.

And the 2444 thing is, as we mentioned in other boot 2445 camps with training aids, the vast 2446 majority of training aids, they might 2447 help you get to a position, but you can 2448 cheat them.

I mean, I've figured out 900 2449 different ways to cheat a training game.

2450 The goal at the end of the day is you 2451 train you to move through the positions.

2452 Don't be relying on something, you know, 2453 an outside influence to force the 2454 training.

Right.

2455 So Sean says, guys, watching online class 2456 Chuck did earlier this year, June, I 2457 think, the student had my swing.

2458 Since watching that and doing the drills, 2459 I'm sure I'm not doing 100% or even 80%.

2460 Shot consistently lower scores.

Nice.

I 2461 was 90 plus player and I have three 2462 rounds 84, 18 holes and three nine hole 2463 rounds 39, 38, 38.

Sweet shot, that's 2464 awesome, congrats.

So now my question is 2465 if I spin my shoulders open too soon, 2466 leading to the club face open and the 2467 shot's going right?

Yes, so when you get 2468 up to the top of your swing and you want 2469 to continue to turn your body through the 2470 hitting area.

The club face gets really, 2471 really late.

And you can see that it's 2472 really open right here.

That's a very 2473 quick recipe for you to be able to hit a 2474 ball way out to the right.

Or What it 2475 does is it forces your right hand and 2476 your right arm to be really active, 2477 really last second, and that's when you 2478 start seeing this very, very high rate of 2479 closure at the bottom.

So both of those 2480 are very, very detrimental.

So you want 2481 to feel like you're staying a little bit 2482 more closed with your chest when you come 2483 down the hitting area.

That would be a 2484 good fuel fix for you.

And just let your 2485 hands and your arms pass in front of your 2486 body, make sure that your wrists and your 2487 forearms rotate.

Yeah, just a good way to 2488 think about it is the faster you rotate 2489 your chest through the shot, the more 2490 it's going to delay the release of this 2491 space.

So if you.

Are very kind of 2492 passive with it, and you're like trying 2493 to still get the speed, the more this 2494 thing is going to open.

Or you're going 2495 to have to really manipulate the hands.

2496 But chest spinning, I'd say, Chris and 2497 myself see it literally daily.

Where 2498 somebody's trying to take their shoulders 2499 and chest and rotate through the ball.

2500 And they're like, I don't know why I'm 2501 hitting blocks all the time.

Well, 2502 there's your, here's your answer.

Yeah, 2503 just kind of stall the body out as much 2504 as possible.

So those are things that we 2505 can definitely help you out with, like 2506 there's certain little techniques that we 2507 use, like We can say, Put the golf ball 2508 off to the right side of your ball.

And 2509 you want your sternum to feel like it's 2510 pointed right there by your hands and 2511 arms past the front.

It won't be pointed 2512 there, But those are good ways for you to 2513 be able to get this stalling point from 2514 your upper half.

Because it's really easy 2515 for us to get fully seated onto this left 2516 side and then continue to work from our 2517 upper body.

It's very easy to do so 2518 because you have that available to you.

2519 That's a source of power and a source of 2520 speed that you could potentially be 2521 putting in the golf swing, but it's 2522 putting it in the wrong spot and it makes 2523 the golf ball fly all over the fricking 2524 place.

2525 Now, as far as the replay questions that 2526 are coming in, 2527 replays are going to be available right 2528 after the session.

2529 Craig and I are going to be working 2530 pretty hard at the end to make sure that 2531 when the file size is done.

depressing, 2532 that we will get an email sent out to you 2533 guys right away so that you all have 2534 access to that.

Now, as far as the 2535 replays being available, how long that 2536 is, we're going to give you quite a bit 2537 of time.

We can't keep them there forever 2538 because people started sharing the links 2539 and they screwed it all up for you.

But 2540 we'll make sure that you have access for 2541 a couple weeks here to make sure that you 2542 get the information burned back in your 2543 brain.

That's really important, so we 2544 will make sure at the end of the session.

2545 Now, Live Storm.

Change their procedures.

2546 Where?

Before, we just automatically 2547 email you a link that you can access, now 2548 we have to download.

We've got to do some 2549 stuff to the file.

So that's why it's 2550 going to just be patient with us and be 2551 able to do right afterwards.

All right, 2552 so we got some other questions coming in 2553 here, all right.

When we do the club 2554 swing drills and eventually fully 2555 swinging hitting balls, are we still 2556 trying to look at near at any points or 2557 just at the ball?

Okay, 2558 when we do the club swing drills and 2559 eventually fully swinging, hitting balls, 2560 are we still trying to look at the mirror 2561 at any points or just at ball?

Well, when 2562 you start hitting golf balls, the big 2563 thing is is you're transitioning from the 2564 mirror to the camera.

So when you start 2565 going through the positions, we want you 2566 to stay focused on the ball and go 2567 through.

But we want that camera for you 2568 to check and check, and check, and check 2569 and recheck your reps, all right.

So the 2570 thing is is, when you start, you know, 2571 kind of putting, you know, the rubber to 2572 the road.

You're still going to need some 2573 type of feedback.

You get your iPhone 2574 out, your Android, your iPad, something.

2575 Don't just go out there and be like, all 2576 right, I'm just going to focus on what 2577 the ball's doing and call today.

You 2578 constantly need to be checking some type 2579 of feedback with Chris, myself, Chuck.

We 2580 still film our swings.

We still go 2581 through it.

Don't just abandon and be 2582 like, all right, I'm going to focus on 2583 what the ball's doing.

If it's going 2584 straight, I got the swing down.

2585 I can get a trained monkey to hit the 2586 ball straight.

So make sure that you 2587 still are constantly checking feedback on 2588 camera.

You slowly graduate from the 2589 mirror when you start applying this ball 2590 and move a little bit more over towards 2591 the camera.

Yeah, so another question 2592 coming in here from Jim.

So Jim says, 2593 Where do you prefer the right hand 2594 trigger finger to be on the grip, close 2595 to the hand, or extend down the shaft a 2596 bit?

So, Craig, you want to answer that 2597 one too well.

For me, what I typically do 2598 is I take my right hand and put it on the 2599 club.

And it's almost in the exact same 2600 grip position, and that's when I'm adding 2601 my thumb and index finger to this 2602 position.

If you start getting it way 2603 down the shaft, it's going to be easy to 2604 start kind of pushing on the club, kind 2605 of making this little bit of a hockey 2606 move.

So I typically put it right where 2607 I'm going to have my normal grip, this is 2608 where I'm going to put my thumb and index 2609 finger because I don't.

I don't want to 2610 separate too much.

But now you can see, 2611 my arms are starting to get far apart.

2612 And when I start to get down here, it's 2613 very easy to manipulate the club.

Head 2614 past the handle right here, Right, 2615 exactly.

So that's when we're drilling.

2616 So when you want to put your right hand 2617 on there and then take it off and then 2618 put the pointer, finger and thumb on, 2619 there is what it's trying to tell you.

2620 That's when you're doing your drills.

2621 All right, so Duck says, when I'm in 2622 impact position and swing with just my 2623 left hand to brush the mat, my club 2624 doesn't bottom out consistently.

I think 2625 you said likely culprit is wrist tension 2626 manipulation.

My body position, shoulder 2627 position, legs seem constant.

Can you 2628 just drive impact position to make sure I 2629 have that set up?

So yeah, so.

Impact 2630 position is going to be where your hips 2631 are open 35 to 45.

Your shoulder line is 2632 nice and square, and you want to make 2633 sure that you have just a little tiny bit 2634 of axis tilt.

A lot of times people are 2635 going to have way too much or way too 2636 little.

Okay, if you have way too much, 2637 show them way too much first.

Then right 2638 here, you're going to create more of an 2639 ascending glow than a descending glow.

So 2640 the club's going to want to bottom out a 2641 little bit early.

Sometimes you can even 2642 miss it from here.

Or some people are 2643 going to set up with not enough axis 2644 tilt.

And this is going to have the club 2645 come down a little bit on the steeper 2646 side Now, if you're noticing that you're 2647 still missing the ground, you're not 2648 getting it to bottom out, then there also 2649 could be some tension up in the shoulder 2650 as well.

If you start locking your 2651 shoulder up, and you hold the shoulder 2652 really tense up here, on the way down, 2653 your arm is going to become, inherently, 2654 it's going to become short, right?

You're 2655 not going to be able to get the club to 2656 go down.

So you want to feel like the arm 2657 and the wrist are kind of pulling the 2658 shoulder down a little bit.

That's a good 2659 way for you to be able to get the club to 2660 bottom out.

Something that's.

Again, 2661 that's anecdotal.

The idea to be able to 2662 get this stuff to work perfectly for you 2663 is get the club out of there first, train 2664 the left arm to move freely under the 2665 shoulder, and then add the club.

If 2666 you're noticing it's still not bottoming 2667 out at that point, then you need to get 2668 it in for review and let us look at it.

2669 But chances are it's going to be from 2670 tension in the left shoulder, or in your 2671 left wrist or your left arm.

Because if 2672 you're standing there at an impact 2673 position where the club's sold on the 2674 ground and your left arm is just hanging 2675 there freely, it's on the ground.

So 2676 it'll come back to that same spot.

Okay, 2677 we're just keeping your left arm relaxed 2678 as much as possible, right?

It's 2679 typically tension is the vast majority of 2680 the culprits when it comes to that.

All 2681 right, so Lee says, tell us more about 2682 practice plans.

Next steps after boot 2683 camp, some I feel good about, some not so 2684 much.

Start back at day one and go 2685 through again.

2686 So Lee, that could be a question that 2687 would keep us here about three hours, but 2688 we have no problem answering that one.

So 2689 tell us more about practice plans.

So 2690 practice plans are going to be dependent 2691 on how much time you have available to 2692 you.

They're also going to be dependent 2693 on where you're at in the process of this 2694 stuff.

2695 Now, let's just say you've been really 2696 good about loading your trail leg up.

You 2697 notice that your body turns good.

You 2698 notice that your transition is good.

And 2699 you notice that your post-ups may be a 2700 little bit out of sorts.

Then you can 2701 start working on primarily your post-up.

2702 So it's going to be dependent on where 2703 you're at.

Now, 2704 again, time plays a factor in this.

So 2705 for those of you at home that don't have 2706 a lot of time in your day because you're 2707 still working, or whatever it might be, 2708 you need to be able to structure a 2709 practice program where you try to get 2710 that 100 reps in.

And so, again, it's a 2711 little bit different from one person than 2712 the next.

But I would say look at your 2713 golf swing.

If you want, Go ahead and 2714 make a full golf swing where you're just 2715 swinging the cup freely without thinking 2716 anything.

And then look at it on camera 2717 and start doing some self-diagnosis here.

2718 See what your back swing looks like.

See 2719 if you're turning fully.

See what your 2720 transition looks like.

Those things.

Or 2721 send it in to us for a review.

We'll tell 2722 you exactly where you should start out in 2723 the process.

A lot of times people have 2724 some stuff that's really good.

You don't 2725 even have to work on a lot of the 2726 transition stuff because you already have 2727 that good space.

So most of you are just 2728 going to be working on release.

2729 A little difficult for me to give you 2730 unless we do exactly how much time you 2731 have in the day.

2732 Yeah.

And also, I mean, you know, I think 2733 that with what Chris is saying, you know, 2734 the best thing is if you just go ahead 2735 and especially with that for how many 2736 reps everybody's done, and I know what 2737 your problems are, Lee.

So I think right 2738 now you've got to get that body down.

But 2739 this is just a general side note.

2740 Film your swing.

See what it looks like.

2741 You already should know through 2742 everything that we've done in boot camp 2743 how to diagnose this.

If you take a 2744 thoughtless or brainless swing and you 2745 film it and you're like, all right, well, 2746 I didn't rotate my shoulders and I see 2747 I'm not shifting weight and I see I'm 2748 pushing off my foot, you know that you 2749 need to take a couple steps back.

Get rid 2750 of the golf club.

Maybe even get rid of 2751 the arms and go back to body because you 2752 don't have enough reps in it.

But if you 2753 film your swing and you look at it and 2754 you're like, all right.

I looked at my 2755 body checkpoints.

My body checkpoints are 2756 doing pretty good.

But you notice that 2757 the arm's off or the club's off.

You can 2758 do the same process with reverse 2759 engineering.

Look at your swing as a 2760 whole and look at it the way that we look 2761 at it.

How's the setup?

How's the body?

2762 Then the arm.

Then the club.

And you can 2763 kind of work your way back into the boot 2764 camp by saying, yeah, I need.

You know, 2765 two, three, four hundred more reps, this 2766 body stuff before I challenge myself.

And 2767 you can kind of self-diagnose and be your 2768 own doctor on this one, and that's 2769 honestly that's a way better answer than 2770 I do, and I was.

I'm trying to figure out 2771 a way to be able to communicate to a mass 2772 amount of people here, right?

So by just 2773 customizing a plan for somebody 2774 specifically is a little bit difficult to 2775 do.

But Craig gives you kind of the big 2776 kind of picture stuff here on how to go 2777 about your processes.

I actually like to 2778 break things up into pieces, too.

If you 2779 wanted to go out there and spend a couple 2780 days where you're just working on release 2781 related stuff, Fine, go do that.

It's not 2782 going to hurt you.

Anytime you're doing 2783 repetitions and you're making sure that 2784 these movements are done, it's never 2785 going to hurt you.

Your brain is starting 2786 to learn that stuff.

But I also will tell 2787 you this, That you've got to continue to 2788 challenge yourself not to just move into 2789 certain static positions and stay there.

2790 You've got to challenge yourself to move 2791 through positions at some point.

Because 2792 in the golf swing, we never hit 2793 positions.

We move through them all the 2794 time.

And so if you just start going into 2795 a static position and make it look pretty 2796 on camera, it doesn't mean it's going to 2797 show up on the golf course.

Your brain 2798 needs to be fed the stuff that you're 2799 going to be doing in a golf course 2800 situation.

That's why I tell people, get 2801 the foot on the accelerator a little bit 2802 quicker than you might think.

Challenge 2803 yourself.

If you see that it breaks down 2804 drastically, then that's when you need to 2805 strip it down and go and do more slow 2806 reps.

Is that a good kind of.

Yeah.

2807 All right.

2808 2809 how long have we been doing?

We already 2810 answered that one.

So, by far, the best 2811 awesome breakdown explanation process 2812 that I've ever participated in brings 2813 actual results.

David, you can't see me 2814 right now, but I would give you a big 2815 hug.

Oh, you can see me right now.

I 2816 think you can see me.

Craig and I would 2817 give you a big hug.

Thank you, David.

2818 And you've worked hard too.

2819 So Nick says, in clamshell dress, does 2820 the top shell, the spine, and the head, 2821 the hinge of the shell being the hips?

2822 That's a good way to think about it.

2823 Sure.

So is the motion going from the top 2824 of the backswing of the shell in its most 2825 open position to the squat to square 2826 shell in the most more closed position, 2827 to the post?

Shell in an even more closed 2828 position.

2829 So let me read this again.

Is the motion 2830 going from the top of the backswing of 2831 the shell in its most open position?

2832 So if you went to a most closed position 2833 though, so again, this is going to be a 2834 very subjective question.

So that's going 2835 to be based off of how you're visualizing 2836 that in your brain.

Because if you go 2837 from a wide open position and you go all 2838 the way to its most closed position, 2839 that's a lot of increase to spine angle, 2840 right?

And so that's, I don't like gray 2841 area stuff.

And Craig doesn't like gray 2842 area stuff either.

We like things very 2843 black and white.

So that might be.

2844 Something that we would kind of shy away 2845 from answering.

Because the fact that we 2846 start telling you to go from the most 2847 open position to a closed position.

And 2848 then, um, trying to figure out other 2849 positions that you're trying to get into.

2850 Then we would be more or less doing a 2851 little bit of a disservice.

And that can 2852 be very subjective.

The way people see 2853 that.

Because somebody might see a very, 2854 you know, this is my most closed 2855 position, but then others might see like, 2856 this is my most closed position.

So we've 2857 got to be a little bit careful with that, 2858 right?

So, uh, Nick, the way that I would 2859 explain that to you is is when you make 2860 your squat, move over to your lead side.

2861 I mean, you can start measuring this 2862 stuff by when you look at it from a face 2863 -on perspective.

So if I turn my body to 2864 my right side and I'm starting to squat 2865 down, okay.

I'm moving down about an inch 2866 inch and a half, where some players are 2867 going to move down two and three inches, 2868 right?

But for me, you got to make sure 2869 that you're still able to have time to 2870 post up and get things into the correct 2871 spot.

So some people like to have a big 2872 increase again.

That's why you never 2873 heard like a certain amount of degrees 2874 that's finding those increasing, because 2875 that would be considered a variable.

2876 Variables are one of those things that I 2877 don't like to have a lot of one thing or 2878 the other.

I like to have a kind of 2879 middle of the road, right?

So not trying 2880 to evade your question by any means.

I 2881 just don't want to give, uh, I don't want 2882 to answer on something that could be too 2883 subjective.

Um, so, gentlemen, thank you 2884 much.

I'll forward my swings after I get 2885 some erection.

We will be here, ready to 2886 help you as much as possible.

Thank you 2887 for joining us.

We appreciate it.

Uh, 2888 good to go guys, Daniel.

Have a great 2889 rest of your day.

great rest of your 2890 weekend.

2891 So great stuff.

Why?

I I have some folks 2892 decide to repeat boot camp just because 2893 they like to have the information re-put 2894 into the brain, right?

2895 It's like watching your favorite boot.

2896 You watch it because you enjoy it.

Now, a 2897 lot of people redo boot camp because just 2898 like I've missed the perfect release.

2899 They watch it once and they go back and 2900 the second time they do it, they're like, 2901 oh, wait a minute.

I didn't hear Chuck 2902 say that the first time.

And they go back 2903 and they do a second boot camp and 2904 they're like, wait a minute.

I missed 2905 that point Chris made the first time or 2906 the emphasis.

That Chris put on that the 2907 first time, even though you're hearing 2908 the same information.

Every time you sit 2909 there and listen to it, not only are you 2910 kind of repping it, but sometimes you 2911 just hear it in a little different way.

2912 Or you get, you know, the the meat and 2913 potatoes out of it.

Because you're so 2914 focused on this one piece that we're 2915 trying not to get you to focus on, you're 2916 like, Oh, that's what really matters.

So 2917 everybody kind of hears things like, I 2918 can't tell you how many times.

You know 2919 back in the day where I'd watch a robbery 2920 video And I'd be like, wait a minute, I 2921 missed on that point firsthand because 2922 we're just throwing a lot of stuff at 2923 you.

You kind of get overloaded.

2924 So we have some more questions.

I like 2925 this.

2926 So Sean says, is working out and lifting 2927 weights another strengthening help?

Never 2928 hurts.

2929 How about that for a bland answer?

2930 Thank you, David, very much.

Appreciate 2931 it.

Sean says, I I played for two months 2932 after the first boot camp and took it 2933 again and find some other things just to 2934 make some corrections.

Jim, exactly the 2935 point Craig was making there.

Thank you 2936 very much for the comment there.

That's 2937 exactly right.

So if you go back and you 2938 watch, and Jim, I'm sure you can vouch 2939 for this, in the camp that you went 2940 through, or if anybody's been through 2941 multiple camps, you've probably heard the 2942 information in not necessarily always the 2943 same format, but you've heard a good bit 2944 of the information.

But the delivery is 2945 always different.

I mean, it's always 2946 different.

And the reason for that is, 2947 again, Craig and I do a lot of work off 2948 camera.

That allows us to be able to see 2949 how people are progressing through this 2950 stuff, to be able to make adjustments to 2951 the process.

The one thing that hasn't 2952 changed, well, this has changed a little 2953 bit, this particular camp, is the PDF, 2954 right?

So the PDF is the PDF.

This is the 2955 program that we sat there with Chuck for 2956 several, seven days going through to make 2957 sure this was 100% perfect.

And this 2958 stuff up here is exactly the format, but 2959 it's, again, We're delivering the 2960 information differently to each and every 2961 camp, based off of what we're seeing from 2962 you, students.

That's why, you know, 2963 Craig and I are always kind of learning, 2964 we learn from you guys on a day-to-day 2965 basis.

If we didn't learn from you guys, 2966 then we'd be dead as belt in circles.

2967 We'd be one trick calling these, right, 2968 where we had one specific way to be able 2969 to describe information to you.

You know, 2970 if you hear Chuck, Chuck did a great 2971 video on, you know, weight transfer, why 2972 he's had so many different explanations 2973 of weight transfer over the years.

Well, 2974 we've got to remember, we have very large 2975 student base here, right?

And everybody 2976 out there is getting their information in 2977 their brain and doing a different thing.

2978 But all of these things are trying to get 2979 you to the same exact end result, just 2980 different ways for us to be able to 2981 explain it, right?

So that's it.

So let's 2982 keep going through the questions here.

2983 You guys are awesome with questions, and 2984 I love it.

2985 So to Lee's question, this is my second 2986 boot camp, and there are always new and 2987 improved explanations that help me 2988 improve my understanding, and therefore 2989 my implementation at the federal steps 2990 that I use.

So David, thank you very 2991 much.

Exactly the point.

So very, very 2992 good stuff there, Duck says.

One more 2993 question as far as lead shoulder hips 2994 need being stacked positions, should they 2995 essentially be stacked by the end of 2996 squat to square or just prior to post up?

2997 So they're going to be not fully into 2998 neutral as you make your first move over 2999 inside, so the lead knee is just inside 3000 of it and the lead hip is just inside of 3001 it.

Okay, it's going to continue to move 3002 dynamically when you finish off the 3003 position.

Same thing with the shoulder, 3004 you see that the line that you've drawn 3005 up from the center of your ankle.

As you 3006 make your movement.

After you've made the 3007 movement transition, you'll see that the 3008 lead shoulder itself, the center is right 3009 here.

So there's going to be some lateral 3010 movement from the upper half as well to 3011 finish this off, that's just a bi-part of 3012 the shoulder.

So good question, I like 3013 that question.

So, uh, I might leave my 3014 response.

Thanks so much.

So is that it?

3015 So no, we got a couple people typing in 3016 some questions, so it looks to me like 3017 we're winding down which.

3018 It's exactly what we thought today, 3019 Craig, an hour and a half.

How about 3020 that?

3021 3022 do reviews I send in?

I have to be each 3023 move, or can I send Fuller Swing for 3024 review?

Sean, you can send in whatever 3025 you want.

Okay, you can send in, if it's 3026 a full swing, just let us know where 3027 you're at.

You can send in videos of 3028 puppies.

Right.

3029 The only thing I ask, and this is 3030 something that we should put a 3031 disclaimer, just have clothes on.

Yeah, 3032 that's.

Because we've seen some things 3033 in the past that we don't necessarily 3034 need to see.

3035 We can see if you're rotating your 3036 shoulders with clothes on.

We have 3037 certain people in a certain quadrant of 3038 the world that think that I can see their 3039 body move better with very little 3040 clothing on.

And I'm like, no, I can see 3041 your body move just fine with a t-shirt 3042 and a pair of shorts on.

So, 3043 perfectly fine.

3044 All right.

So, Craig, thank you and Lucy 3045 for specific comments.

Thank you, Jim.

I 3046 appreciate that.

3047 Puppies golfing, yeah.

3048 We've seen some.

Some animals flying at 3049 the screen before?

3050 I can tell you, we have seen some stuff.

3051 The thing that I've enjoyed the most has 3052 been in the live lessons.

3053 A lot of people are, They're not used to 3054 setting up like a webcam or something in 3055 their arena where they're going to take a 3056 live lessons.

I've seen people be like, 3057 oh yeah, I've got plenty of space.

Knock 3058 pictures off the wall, shatters mirrors, 3059 dogs come in the play.

They don't know 3060 that the dog's wandering in the room.

3061 We could have a nice blooper reel from 3062 slinger readers.

Oh, it would be a very 3063 long one.

It would be a very long one 3064 because you've got to remember we're 3065 doing thousands of these things a month.

3066 So So my funny one for you guys at home, 3067 that's appropriate, because I'm not going 3068 to tell you any inappropriate ones is.

I 3069 had a guy who sent his first screen 3070 review and he had his buddies in the 3071 background.

I don't know if this was like 3072 kind of joke they were playing on me.

It 3073 was tough to figure it out.

But he had.

3074 Taken these two giant four by fours.

And 3075 it looked like he's stolen his wife's 3076 blanket out of the house, and he had 3077 anchored this blanket between these two 3078 big four by fours.

And he's got his 3079 buddies around, and there's a four 3080 -wheeler off to the right and they're all 3081 drinking beer.

You can see it in the 3082 video.

And he sets up and he's getting 3083 himself all ready to rock and roll and 3084 hit this ball into the the actual, uh, 3085 blanket as hard as he can.

That's his 3086 net, that's his driving range.

And I was 3087 really, really, I was like, this is a lot 3088 of ingenuity here.

This is awesome, 3089 you're gonna get style boxes.

So he gets 3090 up and he takes this big old swing, And 3091 he hits the ball, really, really hard.

3092 And it hits the actual four by four and 3093 comes back and rifles at him.

And you see 3094 him just kind of fly away.

I didn't hit 3095 him.

But I was like, you probably could 3096 have just taken another video and you're 3097 getting a better shot.

I did.

But I guess 3098 this is an accurate representation of 3099 where you're at.

So we've seen some funny 3100 things.

3101 All right.

So any quicker way to get 3102 video to upload?

I'm using iPhone.

I'm 3103 going to computer.

Clicking segments and 3104 uploading.

Is there a more express 3105 method?

3106 So, it's pretty fast.

I mean, to take a 3107 video and then click it down under 30 3108 seconds and then upload, it's quickly, 3109 because you've got to remember, it's 3110 going into the database, so we have to 3111 store it, and then there's a lot of 3112 technology that's going to work because 3113 we have to compress the files.

3114 We've gotten to the point where it's as 3115 efficient as it can get.

3116 I know that we've been going through some 3117 changes on the back end that are going to 3118 potentially be rolling out.

3119 For those of you that don't know in the 3120 world of technology, Flash is going to be 3121 something that comes completely obsolete 3122 by the end of this year.

And the Swing 3123 review system that we use is actually 3124 flash based, and we're moving away from 3125 flash.

And so we're trying our best to be 3126 able to come up with different, more 3127 efficient ways for you guys to be able to 3128 get your swing review submitted.

And then 3129 also get them back from us, so then you 3130 guys can watch them from anywhere in the 3131 world.

Because we know how technology is, 3132 just it's booming, it's evolving, people 3133 have access to, you know, technology 3134 anywhere in the world, right?

And what I 3135 have a lot of students do, is, you know, 3136 when they fill it on their iPhone?

They 3137 just go ahead and trim it really fast.

3138 They email it to themselves, 3139 dial it really fast and just go straight 3140 through the site.

I mean, it's going to 3141 continue to improve, obviously, the more 3142 and more technology goes.

But right now, 3143 we have it about as fast as we can get 3144 3145 So Jim says, when we receive our free 3146 rubbery polo shirts, we come to Doug.

So 3147 you can send it in.

3148 So back to the questions here.

I 3149 appreciate it.

3150 So Doug says, is there multiple other 3151 coaches and swing reviewers other than 3152 you guys?

Is there a way to get you guys 3153 to select Unlimited Swing Reviews that 3154 are specifically assigned to?

So, there 3155 are other coaches that are on the website 3156 that are available.

3157 As far as being able to get Craig or I 3158 specifically, the only way to do that is 3159 you've got to access the Unlimited Swing 3160 Review Group.

Um, we wish we had other 3161 ways for us to be able to do that.

3162 Unfortunately, we we have to keep the 3163 group sizes at a point where we can 3164 handle life.

Because these interviews, I 3165 don't know if you realize how many come 3166 in on a day-to-day basis, but they keep 3167 both Greg and I very, very busy.

And 3168 that's why we have other instructors to 3169 help us out with that stuff.

Um, so if 3170 you want to have, you know, access to us, 3171 you know that we're going to be there on 3172 the other end and not run the risk of 3173 having another instructor.

Then you would 3174 have to join a group.

So, um, that's the 3175 only thing we can get right, but you're 3176 still going to get quality instruction, 3177 whether you get us or not.

I mean, as you 3178 can see, Glenn's coming right there.

Uh.

3179 Bill B.

He's referring to one of our 3180 other Spring review instructors, and we 3181 have plenty of guys on the site doing 3182 reviews, so that's if you want us.

The 3183 sad part is we have so many coming in, 3184 you know, on a day in, a day out basis.

I 3185 mean, we, you know, we do 3186 plus reviews a year.

That's the only way 3187 to kind of guarantee us.

But even if you 3188 don't go that route, we've got great 3189 instructors on the site.

For sure.

That 3190 same quality information.

For sure.

3191 They're not somebody that just passes the 3192 test and goes out there.

There's a lot of 3193 training that goes on to the factory.

3194 They're tested and retested.

Yeah.

3195 Retested.

Yeah.

So that's something that 3196 we take very important because that's the 3197 brand, right?

They're passing along the 3198 information.

It needs to be 100% iron 3199 fat.

And Chuck is very meticulous about 3200 making sure that that stuff's in a good 3201 space.

So hopefully that answers your 3202 question.

So it looks like that is it.

It 3203 looks like you guys have got the 3204 information that you need.

3205 Again, we want to thank you guys very 3206 much for sticking around and joining us 3207 for these last three weeks.

Hopefully you 3208 guys got a lot of information in your 3209 brain.

Hopefully you guys got all the 3210 information you need to be able to build 3211 this golf swing.

Once upon all, we'll be 3212 able to take it to the golf course.

I 3213 know that Craig and I are excited to be 3214 able to deliver the information in this 3215 format.

It's something that Rotary Swing 3216 has needed for several years and to be 3217 able to take it, consolidate it down into 3218 a program that works just like this.

3219 Hopefully you guys enjoyed what you saw.

3220 And for those of you that are first 3221 timers, Good luck to you guys that are 3222 getting ready to take this stuff out to 3223 the golf course.

Remember, really 3224 important, I know that I've said this a 3225 few times now, 3226 don't think that your venture with us 3227 ends now.

We're going to be here.

We're 3228 not going anywhere.

We're going to 3229 continue to be here for several years, or 3230 for years down the road.

To be able to 3231 help you get this stuff to the golf 3232 swing, to me, is always a work in 3233 progress.

3234 I'm not one of those people that's just 3235 trying to keep you there just to keep you 3236 there.

I'm keeping you there because 3237 there's all these little, subtle things 3238 that you can work on in the golf swing to 3239 make it tighter and better.

And there's 3240 also other moving parts.

For those of you 3241 that want to work on your driver.

Or 3242 those of you that want to work on bunker 3243 play, or those of you that want to work 3244 on short game or putting, those are 3245 options as well because golf has a lot of 3246 moving parts.

It does, right?

You can't 3247 just go out there with this beautiful 3248 golf swing and expect to break 80 on a 3249 day-to-day basis.

You've got to be able 3250 to learn how to score.

And those are 3251 things that we pride ourselves on being 3252 able to do.

We're not just stuck to just 3253 building a golf center.

We've both been 3254 around the game for a long period of 3255 time, 3256 30-plus years for each of us.

We've both 3257 played professionally.

Um, and so we 3258 understand what it takes to be able to do 3259 these things at different levels.

We 3260 understand you know how to take and 3261 manage your stats, and understand how to 3262 find flaws and weaknesses within your 3263 game.

And to be able to structure plans 3264 that are there for you.

So don't think 3265 this, this adventure ends here, we'll.

3266 we'll be here to continue to assist you.

3267 I want to thank you personally, I know 3268 Craig.

Thank you everybody.

so we wish 3269 you guys all the best.

Absolutely, Sean.

3270 We review anything you send in.

In fact, 3271 I've got students in my unlimited group 3272 that were already done with the swing, 3273 and they're hitting the ball break, but 3274 they're like, man, I'm just losing so 3275 much putting and chipping, and we've 3276 spent a month or two just really refining 3277 those.

So anything you want to send, 3278 anything you have questions that I want 3279 to work on, we're here for you.

Yeah, 3280 Sean, And that's another thing that a lot 3281 of students actually do in the unloaded 3282 Swing review process is that they will 3283 not upload new videos.

They'll just take 3284 some of the old videos just and put them 3285 into the queue because they have unloaded 3286 swings.

and they'll just say this is a 3287 resubmission and then they'll ask their 3288 questions and they'll be like hey can we 3289 work on shipping or cutting at some point 3290 and we'll tell you exactly how we want 3291 that laid out but don't be afraid to just 3292 send us anything you want us to look at 3293 even if it's you know sending in a video 3294 of your grip or if it's sending in 3295 whatever it is all right we're here to 3296 help you with every part of it we'll make 3297 sure that you have the information you 3298 need okay so i think that's it i hope you 3299 guys have a wonderful rest of your 3300 weekend play some great golf tell us your 3301 success stories when you guys get out 3302 there and start putting this out there 3303 because we'd love to hear that all right 3304 and we will be here for you guys talk to 3305 you soon thank you
