Craig Phase 2 Session 2 - Fixing a 2 Way Miss
Today's Vid: Practice Session 2 - In today's practice session we will be talking about a multitude of topics. Watch me work through some lead arm only and two way miss drills that I used to start correcting my push ball strike. Followed by more Phase 2 repetitions to hone in my impact and release positions.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to session two of phase two.
And today what I want to do is I want to show you what I did to work on my swing to get it cleaned up before I started putting high reps in today.
So from this face-on perspective today, I'm going to show you a few lead arm onlys, and I'm going to show you a little bit of what I was doing to counteract the push that I had in my first session.
Now, as you know from my recap video, I talked about how I was going to use the two-way miss video, and that's exactly what I did today.
I really calmed down my lower half to start feeling the club work in front better, work a little bit better on playing, and it's definitely started to straighten out my shots.
Today, what we're going to do is I'm going to start off with five lead arm onlys and five drill swings from the two -way miss.
And I'm going to show you this is what I was working on prior to me starting to add in a bunch of high reps.
So we're going to kind of do a little bit of a drill session beforehand, then I'm going to do a set from face-on, and then I'm going to switch over to down the line, and I'm going to kind of show you the same drills that I worked on to get my plane better from the down the line view, and then do another set of reps so that I can keep progressing through this phase too.
So without further ado, I'm glad everybody enjoyed the first session.
I'm back at it today.
Still hot.
And what I'm going to focus on first is I'm going to focus on doing some lead arm onlys.
When I do some lead arm onlys, it's helping me do a few things.
One, it's really starting to soften up my lead arm and wrist so that I can get that club freely rotating and freely releasing.
I'm not trying to hit it a mile out there, but this is how I really start honing in on staying in the shot and really allowing the club to do the work.
When you sit here lead arm only like this, you can really get a good feel for the rotation of the face and how it happens naturally.
And also, it's a very good way just to lower tension.
Because as you work through here, you can really kind of work on that kind of paintbrush feeling through the shot, getting that lead wrist to starting to flatten out and bow a little bit more.
And for me, if anything, just exaggerating a little bit of the rotation or allowing the exaggerated rotation.
That's what we're going to start out with first.
This is exactly how I began my session today is I'd take my setup, I'd make a few swings, just getting the rotation of the face down, just feeling this nice free little pendulum swing.
And I didn't try to hit it a mile or anything.
Got my setup, nice and relaxed, proper position, the club and the grip.
And then I'd just make small little nine to threes.
Where I can make sure that okay, my chest is doing well, my legs are okay, everything's just kind of muted, kind of calmed down.
You could probably hear that a little bit on camera that was a touch heavy.
Took me a little bit to get the camera and stuff set up.
So got a little bit tight.
But for the most part, that shot went dead straight.
And it kind of went exactly where I wanted it to go.
But this is what I was doing to really get that tension out of the lead arm, to start to get that release going.
Just a little back here.
There we go.
And allowing for it to release.
As you can see, when I made the strike, my head stayed down, the release.
And I really get that nice kind of compressed sound.
And while you do this, and you're monitoring the tension and positions and getting the feel for the club, the beauty about it is you start to understand how far you can actually hit the ball with relatively doing nothing.
I mean, I'm not making that big a swing here.
I'm just, you know, hopefully I'm just going hip high to hip high, something I was displeased with in my prior session.
And as I go from here through here, just trying to get the swing, trying to get the release.
Caught that one a touch heavy again.
You can probably see right now, my lower half is probably pretty quiet.
That's what I spent a lot of time early on.
It's really getting these calmed down from being too overactive.
And I'll talk to you more about that catch up after I get a couple more reps in.
And get back to here.
And see like this right here, make a couple swings, get that tension out.
And I can see on the turf and I can feel how that divot is just right after the strike, not before.
That nice bottoming out just right after the strike.
So I'm going to take that tension out.
going to take that.
There we go.
Exactly how I want it.
Low, straight.
I mean, right down the line.
And what I'm doing is I'm just allowing the club to do what it wants to do.
I'm not trying to get here and, you know, force this rotation over or ripping my chest or ripping my head.
All I'm trying to do literally is just allow for this and then step up to the golf ball and say, okay, my tension's low.
Got my grip.
I got everything.
I'm just going to allow for a little nine to three, the club to work back, work through.
And I mean, for me, it's always how I get kind of back in the saddle.
Like that one right there, right down my line, club's working itself.
I can feel a little tension in the hand.
It's probably going to take a couple sessions for me to really get all that out, but it really brings me back down to earth and help not get in the way of the club swinging.
Now, as I warmed up with those prior to get my release, going to get my tension levels under control, the first thing that I wanted to correct was my push.
So as I mentioned earlier, and as I showed on the recap, the two-way miss is the video that I used to start getting this back on track, because the issue that I struggled with, as I started to work into the strike, my hips were racing.
Now, sometimes they slid out ahead this way, giving me too much tilt.
Other times they were just clearing way too soon.
And I always felt like I had to take my hands in club and kind of flip them at the golf ball.
I had to do something to get that to catch up versus having this nice compressed on top of feeling.
And the club really feeling like it's almost passing my chest, really zeroed out, and doing a lot of the work for me.
I felt like I was doing the vast majority of the work.
So earlier, and I'll show you from down the line when we flip over there, I made a few bigger swings in my practice swings where I was really exaggerating feeling my hands work down and the club work over.
Now, obviously, I don't want to start flipping and I don't want to get steep or anything of that nature.
But for me, I'm driving too hard, which is getting me under plane, leaving the face open, causing me to hit that push.
So feeling a little bit steeper right here and feeling the legs a lot quieter helped get that club back on plane for me.
So I didn't have to work so hard to get the club to square up.
So this is kind of what it looked like.
And what you're going to see is you're going to see my legs are going to be really quiet because I'm basically taking that same lead arm.
Only feeling that I have in those little release shots.
And I'm working to here.
And I'm just having a little weight and I'm almost feeling like my belt buckle is staying pointed at the golf ball.
Now, on a real golf shot, we don't want the belt buckle pointed at the golf ball at impact.
But right now, this is a feeling for me to slow this down to keep them from racing out ahead of my arms and hands.
So as I add my trail hand to the club, my feeling is as I start to shift and work down, my trail foot's going to be very quiet, my lead shoulder is going to stay really low, and I'm just going to kind of feel like the club is working down and passing my chest, really kind of zeroing out through here, and the legs just super quiet.
Like that right there.
That's what I'm looking for.
It's a much more muted shot.
It's not as far.
Taking my numbers from the first one, I realized I was hitting it just a little bit too far.
So I've done a little bit better checking today of my targets.
But I really just wanted to quiet things down so I could have this same feeling, but with both hands on the club.
And I didn't feel like I had to catch up with my arms and hands so much.
So let's get another one of those in right there.
Take it back to here.
And then as I start to shift my right foot, trail foot, I'm going to be very quiet.
I'm going to feel like my lead shoulder stays low, and I'm just allowing the club to release.
It almost feels like it's kind of passing my body a little bit.
Right there, I mean, that's the strike that I'm looking for.
I get that nice, crisp contact, very shallow divot.
Just feels like it's kind of grazing the mat right here, kind of shaving the top of it.
But what it's doing is it's taking away this one.
It's taking away the need for me to put that timing element in.
And that's that timing element I really wanted to delete.
So I'm going to practice here.
I'm going to really feel quiet with my lower half, just letting my lead arm and hand work down, have that release, very quiet lower half.
And that's, I mean, this, I kind of don't want to put my lower half back in because I'm so confident with how I strike this version.
But eventually, as you know, we want a little bit of power and stuff.
And there's, there's a reason we have a video titled, you hit the golf ball with your legs.
And I don't want to be so kind of arm reliant on things.
But this really gets you to get that nice compressed feel and just not get in the way of the club.
Let's get another one in here.
Nine o'clock, just very quiet with the lower half.
And I may be feeling like my hips, my belt buckles facing the ball and my trail foot's really flat and my lead shoulders really low.
I mean, to be honest with you, my feeling right now is almost like this, like my shoulders feel like this, my hips feel back over here.
But I guarantee you, when I look at it on film, it's going to be nowhere close to that.
There we go.
Really, it's really jumping off the face.
It's because I'm getting that good compression, not really fighting a whole lot.
But this would probably be about the max I could get it to go right now.
So sooner or later, I'm going to have to add my legs back in.
Let's get one more from here.
And get back to nine o'clock, I'm going to feel almost that my lead shoulder is really staying down and in the shot.
Very quiet hips, just allowing the club to rotate through trail foot staying nice and behaved.
I mean, that's, can't do much better than that.
It's, it's just more of a freeing feeling you there.
Technically, isn't a arm swing in the golf swing, like you're, you're not flailing around, you know, the arms in the swing, you're using your body rotation to move your arms and hands and the clubs releasing itself.
And this kind of can feel a little bit army, but you still have to take into account the club and arms do have to go somewhere.
And right now that rotation, it may feel a little bit exaggerated.
That's okay.
I'm trying to get out of being stuck and then feeling like they have to flip.
So I'm just naturally letting the club rotate back and through.
So with that being said, some good reps in really calming down the legs, getting that lead arm going.
Let's do a set.
And after we do that set, we'll flip on down the line.
We'll see what we got going on over there.
So for this one, I'm not going to think like, okay, we just, you got everything calm.
So let's get back to here and let's, you know, let's race the hips.
Let's get, let's get them a mile.
Let's start pushing off that trail foot and let's swing for the fences.
No, all I'm going to do is kind of change mindset or change my gears a little bit.
I was feeling everything just almost feel just totally army, which isn't the case, but that's the feeling that I had.
And I'm going to start to kind of direct my swing a little bit more with my lower half, but keeping this same swing of the club.
So let's see what we can do here.
I'm going to get our setup and we're just going to start trying to direct it just a little bit more with big muscles, just a little bit more.
There we go.
So like that one right there, it didn't feel that much difference than my prior ones, but it went a little further, had a little bit more spin on it, had a little bit more height on it and went a little bit further, but that's one I can count.
We can take that one home.
All right.
One in the books.
It's kind of, it's kind of like when you get that first part of the birdie of the day.
Like, all right, I got, I got one on the card so I can relax now.
So we're just going to try to direct it just a little bit more with the big muscles on these.
There we go.
I want to take that one.
And what I'm doing, I didn't, I didn't add anything to my checkpoints.
I didn't add any new swing thoughts.
Nothing crazy happened.
The only thing I did is I started to feel, all right, I'm just going to use my legs just a little bit more, just 10%.
Instead of feeling the belt buckle staying back, I'm just going to try to get them moving back a little bit like I did in phase one.
Just a little weight, moving that pressure a little bit better, getting that left hip behind me, but not so much that I reintroduced timing again.
Take that one.
And I can, I can see from my perspective.
the difference in trajectory from my last session.
I can tell today I'm a little bit more relaxed, a little bit more comfortable body-wise, not going to lie.
You know, not, not, not as tight, sore, or in pain.
So everything's just moving a little bit freer, but I can see from my ball flight that, you know, the trajectory is much lower.
The dispersion's a little bit tighter.
It just doesn't out there.
I like that one.
Almost had that no sound to it.
But how I got here, I worked on it.
I had to really get some lead arm only's going.
I had to really calm down how fast everything was racing.
Still feel I'm taking it a little bit too long, but I'll get, I'll get yelled at enough by that from my students.
Much better, much better.
All right.
And don't worry, as usual, when I get home, I'll get these downloaded and uploaded and I'll take a look at them and compare them to my feel and what's actually happening.
We're just getting big muscles just a little bit more involved, just getting that lower half going just a little bit more.
Not a little heavy.
And I know exactly what happened on that one too.
Now the accuracy and the flight were really good.
You probably caught that it was just a little bit heavy.
I know exactly what I did too.
And what the issue was on that one was my brain, which that's hardly ever the case.
But my brain got in the way on that one.
I started thinking about something else.
So on the prior one, I felt just a little bit, I was like, ah, you're getting a little bit too long.
I can feel a little bit too much flexion in my trail arm.
So my mind switched gears.
I felt myself starting to think about, okay, keep that trail arm a little bit straighter.
Make sure that you're rotating to move them.
It just feels like I'm getting just a little bit of kind of starting the lawn mower-ish.
And with the changing of focus to all that, as soon as I hit that, it was already time for me to go the other way.
And I completely forgot to use my legs and let the club release.
Positions may not have been that bad, but I was so focused on something that I shouldn't be, I had a little bit of a failure.
That's my own fault.
That's my own fault.
So you messed it up, Craig.
You did it to yourself.
I'm going to think about that right now.
Just do it in the takeaway.
My focus right now is not takeaway.
It's getting back in sync today.
There we go.
Much better.
Much better.
All right.
Let's get back on that horse.
So I hope everyone's enjoying phase two.
Not my content, but your work at home.
This is a little more fun.
Get to see some flight on the ball.
There's a little bit more speed in.
It's a little bit more dynamic.
It's not just hitting chip shots or feeling like you're just hitting chip shots.
Should be starting to feel a little bit more like a golf shot now.
Oh, that was really good.
That was really good right there.
I like that one.
All right.
I'm sure at home you have those days where, especially if you've dealt with prior injury, And yesterday I was going to film and come do some reps, but my back and my shoulder, they were like, nope, we're not doing it today.
And last night, try to get some rest, get up this morning and the things loosened up a little bit.
I'm like, you know what?
Today's going to be the practice day.
Like today we're going high volume, high rep.
And it's just one of those days where I'm just a little freer today.
Might go dancing.
Let's not, let's not get too crazy.
I got two left feet.
That's probably why I'm a lead side dominant player.
Oh, that was good.
That was good.
Much better.
Just a lot calmer today.
A lot calmer.
I want to keep the same consistency from phase one.
I just want to get a little bit further, but without me applying any more effort.
And hopefully you can see a little bit from Chuck's demonstrations or mine on this series, that as we progress through here in the first two phases, our pacings really don't change that much.
Now, as we do a little bit of phase one and we do a little bit of phase two, we don't all of a sudden go to just dropping the hammer.
The pacings are relatively the same, but now the ball, instead of going at 10, 15 feet or 10, 15 yards, now it's going 30, 40, 50 yards with the same amount of effort.
I'm getting a lot more out of it without having to do the work.
I didn't even have to look at that one.
I like that.
We'll get one more from over here and we'll get it down the line.
I'm going to record this one.
This is a good set.
This is a keeper.
A little tension.
So I'm just making a little bit bigger swing right here.
So sometimes you may see in my practice swing, it gets a little bit bigger sometimes.
It's just a tension thing.
Because doing these little tiny things, you know, kind of like a putt, it's very easy to get versus like, all right, let's, let's just shake it out a little bit.
Let's get a little stretch in, make it just a little bit bigger swing, just to kind of get those muscles.
All right, we're, we're ready to work.
We're loose.
We're ready to work for you, engage.
Just tell us, tell us what we got to do.
that one was good.
How are we doing over here?
I feel like my hip's working better today.
Trail foot's doing okay.
I feel like my hip's working better.
You can see like right here, like I can do this today.
I have days where that motion right there is like this.
Like if I want to do that, it's a whole body motion.
Hip's doing pretty good today.
I'm just going to keep it that way.
Okay.
Oddly enough, I found a particular way to sleep, which is really funky.
That kind of keeps my hip in a good position, but also keeps my shoulder in a good position.
That if I can somewhat stay like that when I sleep, I don't, I don't get into trouble because I, every 30 minutes, I'm going, I'm moving somewhere.
Something's tight.
Something's hurting.
So with that being said, I'm going to flip this down the line and down the line, I want to go through the same thing.
I'm going to do the warmup showing you how I did with the lead arm and the two-way miss.
And we're going to do another set of reps.
And then I've, I've got a lot of reps to get in today and I'm going to turn off the camera and grind it out.
So we're going to get here.
It's just some nine to threes.
And I get a question a lot.
What do I do with my trail hand?
You can hang it down at your side.
You can put it in your back pocket.
You can hold it behind you.
Typically, I kind of hold it behind me like this.
Sometimes just on the side right here.
It doesn't really matter where you put it.
The whole object is just to get it out of the way.
All right.
And you'll probably notice on the flight of these golf balls, these don't go very far because I'm not trying to hit this very far.
I'm just trying to get this tension out, get this release going.
And you're not trying to power the golf swing from your arm.
Yeah, a little thin.
And literally what I just said, I literally just said, you're not trying to power the golf swing from your arm.
that brain.
It's kind of like being on the course and you look at the hole and you see, you know, the water on the left.
Your last thought is like, don't hit it in the water.
There we go.
That's what I'm looking for.
The legs are very quiet, chest very quiet, allowing the club to release.
Nice, simple little shot right there.
Now that's what I'm looking for.
Get a few more into these and tiny little bit of push on that.
I felt the lower half get a little bit active on that.
Quite as clean as earlier.
Get this releasing a little bit more.
There we go.
That's what I'm looking for.
That's what I'm looking for.
The plane, the plane.
It's what we want.
Straight, low, compressed, not too far.
And I did a lot of those, you know, prior to turning on the camera.
It's just, even if you don't have that problem right now, like me, it's still just a great way to warm up.
So now, let's talk about this two-way mess.
I don't want to say I exaggerated it.
I built upon it just a little bit for my own feelings, because I know my swing pretty well and I know my own problems that I get into.
So with this two-way miss, for me, it's not only just the trail foot, the feeling of the belt buckle, but I feel like the club arms and hands and the lead shoulder, everything's just staying really low right here.
And it feels almost just a little steep.
It almost feels just really on top of it and steep because I'm trying to zero out that plane and path into the strike.
So some of the practice swings that I make sometimes with this is you'll see how my hands kind of go down.
And the club starts to work out a little bit.
Now, in real golf, that's not going to happen.
I'm going to be using my legs.
Even in these shots, that's not going to happen.
But for right now, that's almost the feeling that happens.
So let's get this aimed up correctly here.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to really concentrate on quiet lower half, just kind of getting a nine to three with a really quiet lower half, lead staying low.
And that one right there, you can probably see that ball started off a little bit left.
It's actually a little bit overcooked.
I felt like I actually kind of steepened it a little bit of my own.
That's not what I want to do right now.
I still want it freely swinging.
I want it to do that because I'm quiet, not because I'm forcing that to happen.
I may have to as the swing gets longer and that'll be a lesson for another day when the swing starts to get bigger.
But for this version, it's just the nine.
Let it go.
Let's see if we can get a little better than that.
There we go.
There we go.
That's what I was looking for.
You can see I'm really quiet right here.
Not a whole bunch going on.
Ball flight stayed low.
I didn't feel like I had anything to catch up on.
Just a nice, simple strike.
Let's build on that one.
I'm going to feel getting set up.
Nice and relaxed.
We're going to feel that right foot.
Chest, hips, everything just really quiet.
Just a little nine o'clock.
There we go.
Now on that one, I still had a little bit of that pull in there.
I felt just a tiny bit of shoulders.
Just a tiny bit of shoulders.
But even though that wasn't perfect, right now I'm kind of drilling some problems out.
Do I want to start spinning my shoulders and do it?
Absolutely not.
But was that the opposite of the problem that I've been struggling with?
A hundred percent.
I wasn't kicking my hips and my club having to catch up.
I'm mad about that one.
Just kind of drilling right now.
Here, almost to me, feels like it's just passing my chest.
There we go.
That was money.
That was money.
Nice little ball fight, compressed.
Felt like I didn't really have to work for that.
I can get one more in and get some reps And you may notice my pacing is a little bit more up-tempo today.
It may not be.
I kind of feel that way.
I haven't had my extra coffee today.
This would be odd.
But as you can see, I've already got some grinding out here.
Nice and calm lower half.
Nice and calm.
We're going to feel a little nine o 'clock.
The club releasing through.
Just a tiny bit of a pull.
But that was really good.
I mean, that was compressed.
Pulled it just a tiny bit.
I didn't feel any crazy active trail arm.
Shoulders may have been open just the tiniest bit.
We'll look at that, or I'll look at that later.
But still very pleased with that because, to me, it's rotating through.
It's not getting here and then being like, oh, hey, I can't even hit the ball that way.
Like that.
Where my hips are really racing.
The face is staying wide open.
I just hit that big old push out to the right.
That's just the exaggerated version of what my swing was feeling like.
All right.
So we have my lead arm.
We've got my two-way where everything's just really quiet.
And sometimes it may start out just a tiny bit left because I'm not using my legs.
Now we're going to do a session.
Now we're going to get some reps in.
All I'm doing is adding.
Just get a little bit more big muscle control in there.
Kind of let things just happen.
Ooh.
I like that one.
I like that one.
Felt just a little bit more legs.
Didn't feel like I was trapped or stuck.
Just felt like the club could work down, do what it wants to do.
Let's get a couple of those going.
That was solid.
Had a little bit of a tail on it.
It started right down my line.
Had a little bit of a two, three -yard cut on it.
I don't know.
I kind of like that one.
This was a little bit of aiming.
I didn't feel that off.
It started a little bit right of my target line, but maybe I've must have been a little bit more aimed over there.
So we're going to have to scratch that out.
But boy, I like that.
I don't mind that little one, two-yard cut.
I like the cut.
Nothing wrong with the cut.
If it's under control.
You know the old adage.
You got to you can talk to a fade, but you got to yell at a hook.
There we go.
There we go.
Much better lower, compressed.
Had a tiny draw on it.
So it looks like keeping everything really quiet.
Still getting those with legs back going.
Boy, that was good too.
See, I've got a tiny bit.
You probably can notice it on camera.
I've got a little bit where I kind of get the tiny push in it and I get the good one in there.
So we're going to make a couple practice swings.
I want to really get that dialed They feel great.
I mean, they're compressed.
They're barely moving.
It's just a little bit of that starting line.
I want to get them as consistent as my face-ons were.
So we're going to get back over here.
Try not to get my fanny in front of the camera so much.
Check my line right here.
Make sure where I'm aiming is where I think I'm aiming.
You know, Craig, they make sticks that help you out with that.
There we go.
Now that one I know was good.
That one I know was good.
I think I lost a little bit of my spot.
Yeah, for me, when I'm out here doing this, I've got lines everywhere.
I kind of see everything, you know, very geometrical.
You know, the mat's kind of going a little bit to the left because the range goes this way and I've got the boards here that are going that way.
Well, my target is over here, so it's a little bit off of the direction of the mat.
So sometimes you just kind of get your lines a little bit across.
You know, for me, you know, I'm a big fan.
I like picking, you know, a close spot, kind of like I'm putting or anything, where I can kind of have my little checkpoint where I'm aiming.
Nice and quiet.
We're going to get a little bit more legs.
Nice.
And you can probably tell the distance, just a little bit toned down.
Try to soar just a little bit too high too fast.
Old school rotary printers are like, Craig, what are you doing?
Swing it with that right arm.
It's okay.
We've said since the beginning, trail side is your power side.
This is your control side.
It's funny because a lot of my students, when we get closer towards the end of, you know, like their rebuild and I start adding back speed and I start letting them use a lot of right arm, very similar to Axiom.
This is before Axiom, you know, Axiom kind of refined it.
Um, they're like, what do you mean, Craig?
Like you had me do all these lead arm onlys and I thought the trail arm was the bad guy.
He is the bad guy, but not forever.
All right.
Let's get a good one in here.
Let's focus.
Good ball position.
Nice and relaxed.
Posture feels okay.
Weight feels balanced.
All right.
Nice and good.
There we go.
I like that one.
We'll take it.
We will take it.
It's crazy how if you kind of talk yourself into it a little bit.
All right.
Get your setup.
Get relaxed.
Get hunkered down.
Get focused.
You know your checkpoints.
You know what you're trying to do here.
Keep your eye on the prize.
Touch heavy.
I think my lower half was just a little bit late on that one.
Just a little bit late.
Definitely not worried about going the opposite way.
If anything, and my former career, my wrist would get a little too muted and my hips would get super duper active.
You get good at playing the power block though.
There.
The legs drive her home.
Allow for the club to release.
Bottle that one up.
About 500 more of those.
Is that going to be what it takes?
I know what I did on that one.
Did y'all catch it?
I felt it.
It actually wasn't that bad a swing.
That was a pet peeve.
Which is very rare for me.
It was odd.
Did y'all catch what happened there?
Hey, what's going on down there?
How are we doing today?
Nobody's down there.
Nobody's interested in your 9 to 3.
A little bit of right hand.
Turn that over just a little bit too much.
Felt a little bit too much right hand coming there.
I'm squeezing one more into this.
Don't want to finish this set on a good note.
You want to make sure to grind this out.
Get a little bit of left arm only.
Let's get that tension out of this.
Let's get a good rep in here.
Get some left arm only to get some tension out.
I'm going to combine it a little bit with the two-way.
Feeling my right foot, my chest, everything.
My hips staying really quiet.
I have that very kind of muted leg feel.
And now we want to tend to take those feelings.
Just add back a little bit of the kerosene from the legs.
Just a little bit.
That's the kind of ball flight I like.
A little bit lower, straight.
Almost has that kind of pro.
What is that thing called on TV?
I don't get to watch TV that much.
The Pro Tracer.
Where it kind of looks like that little ribbon going that way.
There we go.
That's what I like.
With that being said, I'm going to finish up this basket right here.
I'm going to work on some things to make sure I get that consistency back.
Working on the same drills I just showed you.
I'm going to take this home.
We're going to talk about it.
See how things are doing.
But I hope you like this style today.
The more that I start to kind of grow in the swing and grow in my move, I'm going to have different problems pop up.
Or I'm going to have more problems pop up.
And I kind of want to show you how I work through it.
Not just the hitting the ball and doing the rep.
Well, Craig, what exactly did you do?
I did some left arm onlys.
I went back to the five minutes of perfect release.
Got my lead arm swinging and releasing.
Went to the two-way miss.
Hey, Chuck, why am I hitting so many pushes?
Yes, even coaches need coaches.
All right, I'm driving my hips too much, and my hands are having to play catch up, and I'm having to square up the face on my own.
All right, let's kind of drill that out for a second.
Let's exaggerate.
Let's kind of keep the hips super-duper quiet and get that feeling.
All right, now that you've done some drills, you've cleaned up the move a little bit, now let's get back on the horse.
Now let's start repping a little bit.
Get those bigger muscles going, get the swing back going.
So hopefully you like this format today.
I know it's a little bit different than what I usually do.
And I'm going to get to work on the rest of these.
Hopefully get some good numbers count -wise.
And we'll keep this going further, and we'll keep this going on.
And I will see you at the range next time.
