C4 Bootcamp 1, Nov 29 2022, Session 1
Session 1 of 4
everybody you can see me and hear me correctly Okay.
Let me work on that for a second.
This is the first time I've ever used this one.
Testing.
How are we doing sound now?
Better?
That's much better.
Good.
All right.
So I'm going to keep going back and forth until I know that everything's good.
All right.
Good.
How's the video?
This is our first time using.
Demio is our host for those of you who are returning to boot camp.
For those of you who are returning to boot camp, I'll be your instructor today, or the ones that haven't been here before.
I'm Rotary Swing Instructor Craig Morrow, and welcome to C4 Boot Camp.
What I usually do is I allow the group to start to settle in.
People sometimes get to notice a little bit later.
They're having trouble logging in, so I'm kind of letting everybody float into the room here.
We'll give them about five minutes to get in and then we'll get rocking and rolling.
Still no sound.
Is there a sound button somewhere?
Audio is good.
Thanks, Troy.
There might be a little mute button at the bottom of your page.
No video.
Seeing too many videos and issues.
Good here.
Well, that's why we're going to let the kinks work itself out in this first one.
Sounds great.
Craig, great to see you.
So excited for boot camp.
Thank you, Jeremy.
I appreciate it.
Sounded video good.
All right.
So it looks like things are starting to work all right.
So we'll give a couple minutes and welcome.
I hope everybody's excited for tonight and we truly apologize for the time discrepancies.
I think we have everything fixed now.
As I mentioned earlier, this is a new post that we're using, which I think will be better than what we've used in the past.
The times for the event will be Tuesdays at 6 p.
m eastern saturdays at 10 a.
m eastern Okay, so those are going to be the times, regardless of what reminder you get, those are going to be the times for this boot camp.
Hey, Johnny, maybe you need to log back out and log back in.
It seems like most people are getting their audio back started.
Now, I'll say this a few times.
If you don't have the handout for this camp, in the top corner, you should have a little link to click that says handouts.
In that, we'll have the C4 boot camp slides that we're going to be using during the presentation.
So if you don't have that, that's going to be what I'm referring to during this session.
It's going to be in the handout section of the chat bar.
Yes, Raymond, there's going to be four sessions.
C4, four sessions.
No audio yet.
No audio.
Good now.
If your phone or tablet is in silent mode, you have to turn that off.
Thank you, Murray.
I appreciate that.
Anybody has any tips or tricks?
Throw it up there.
Anthony, if you're in the room, give a little quick hello in the chat.
Yes, Bryce, once we finish with C4 and the recording gets rendered, we're going to post it and you'll be able to access the replay.
You won't have to worry about having special links or anything like that.
And I want you all to know, one of our new Rotary Swing instructors is in the chat tonight.
HOPKINS So if you get a chance, say hello to him.
He's going to be helping me on the side, answer some questions or directing me.
Just in case this whole thing shuts down, he's going to let me go, just to make sure.
But we have our new instructor, Anthony, Uh, in the chat, say hello and start up a good conversation.
He's going to be able to help you out a lot.
We're excited to have him aboard.
Not seeing handout link?
Let me check that for you, Jeff, You see the handout link?
Will there be a replay for tonight?
Tomorrow?
Yes, Stephen.
The replay will be up.
uh, by tomorrow morning, you'll be ready to go.
You see the handouts now?
Fantastic, fantastic, all right.
It looks like we might actually have things working now.
As you'll see, there's going to be a button at the bottom of your screen.
During this boot camp, I'm going to highly advise SOY reviews, unlimited reviews, and you'll see there's a discount for live lessons for me right there, and that's for you attendees in this boot camp.
And I'll put it up in all the boot camps, and I'm not going to get up here and sell you anything.
But if you need more help, that's a way to get it for a little bit cheaper.
Thank you, Dennis.
Welcome to Anthony.
Fantastic.
Virtual is always an adventure.
It definitely is, Troy, but I think that this is going to work out much better, this new system.
I did a lot of tests on the back end, and it seems like this is going to be more seamless other than that time issue that we had.
Give me just a couple minutes, two more minutes, and we'll get rolling.
Jim, unfortunately, Chris Tyler is no longer with River.
Let's see.
How long will these videos last?
A long time.
You purchased this session.
Your replays are going to be linked to your account.
I don't know of an exact timeline, but it could be for months and months and months to indefinite.
But you're definitely going to have them long enough that you should be able to get down.
Everything that we're going to discuss in these four sessions.
Hello, John.
All right.
One more minute and then we'll get going.
And now we got almost 100 people in the group so far.
I have a ticker on mine.
I'm sitting there watching.
I hope everybody's doing good where they're hailing from.
If you can't tell where I'm hailing from, maybe those three letters will give you a reference.
Is there a way to go full screen?
I'm going to leave that to the chat, Johnny.
See if anybody has anything.
It's full screen on my end.
All right.
Well, I think we're going to go with what we have right now.
So welcome again, if you didn't hear me.
rotary instructor Craig Morrow and I will be your humble swing guide through these four sessions of C4 boot camp.
Now, this boot camp is designed not only to help you understand what we're trying to do in the C4 series, but also help kind of accelerate.
Because sometimes there's just one or two things that you don't quite grasp or understand, and you just need a little bit of clarity.
On that, and then you get that light bulb moment, like, Ah, that's what I was missing, that's, that's the one piece that I needed.
This is all starting to click now, so what we're going to focus on?
If you've taken a look at the handout, or if you haven't, go up to the handouts and download it.
Today we're going to focus on phase one, but before we get started, we're going to talk about a little bit of rules of engagement.
Phase one.
Or let's kind of rephrase that boot camp session one.
It's, I don't want to say it's the boring one.
But it's the one where we start to get all our ducks in a row and make sure everybody's on the same page.
And, you know, all the little requirements are met and then we really start moving along.
So when come Saturday, Saturday's going to be a busy boot camp.
Today's just going to kind of be some housework, some cleanup.
Because It's very important that you get off on the right foot.
And for what impact is, even though this drill is very small, kind of methodical, kind of slow, I can't tell you how important it is, and I'll expand upon that when we get into it.
I've got the little sheet over here because the screen's a little far away from me.
From the past boot camps, we've had a television or something to.
Read off of I even know it doesn't come through on camera, but for these I'm just me use my little cheat sheet right here Make sure nothing else going on All right, We're still so for right now.
The rules of engagement, okay, is that you must practice in front of a mirror anytime you're trying to make a change.
Now, as you can see, I've got this giant mirror right here, and you might not be able to tell, but I've got another mirror over there.
It is the best training aid you own.
I don't care if it's a mirror reflection in your bathroom.
I don't care if it's.
I used to use the glass, sliding glass, back in the day at my back porch.
But you need to be able to get some feedback.
And specifically, for today, I don't want to hear any excuses.
Well, Craig, I don't have a camera.
I don't have a mirror.
Because one of the big things with phase one is you have to stop and check yourself.
If you got the eyes, you should be able to make sure that you're doing everything that we're talking about tonight correctly.
So I don't want to hear any excuses on that.
You must have feedback if you're going to get better.
If any reason you're unsure you're doing it correctly or not, submit a swing for review.
Post up in the community.
Post up in the forum.
You've got to remember, there's so many different avenues to reach us, to get out for help.
There's no reason you should struggle with what you're doing through any of these phases.
We are here to help you literally 24 hours a day.
Some of the people in the chat can attest that they hear back from me at some very odd times.
We're always here to help you.
Myself, Anthony, will always be around.
To answer your questions, in order to get, uh, fastest results, you must do the drills on the days that we're not practicing now.
That's a biggie because I have a lot of people that will start boot camp and they'll.
They'll kind of do a little bit of the session with me right here and they'll be like, I already know how to do that.
I've already nailed that down, I'm just going to wait until Saturday session when he starts doing stuff a little bit more fun.
It's gold accountability.
Be accountable for your golf swing.
Practice in between.
Even if you're really good at doing what I'm demonstrating tonight, I still want you to practice in between sessions.
That way, if you have questions, you can come back with them.
If you don't have questions and you're just ingraining the movement even further in the correct way, how's that going to hurt you?
So it's a big requirement that you practice.
practice in between each session.
So with that said, we'll get that kind of talking out of the way.
Tonight what we're going to go through is we're going to go through setup, we're going to go through phase one, we're going to go through the checkpoints, and I'm going to talk to you about a lot of the pitfalls.
Some of you that have been following me on my journey of rebuilding my swing, I've talked a lot about these, but those of you that haven't, I've probably made every mistake that I'm going to talk about tonight on film.
So, I am well aware of how easily these little things slide in or slip in.
And I want you to start working it out immediately.
Okay.
So, first thing is setup.
Now, when we talk about setup, most of y 'all have seen the five minutes of the perfect setup or the stance is too wide video.
But the big thing is, is we just need to be kind of within the margin of error.
So what you're looking for is the stance to be two inches outside of neutral.
And all that is, is if you draw a line straight from your hip socket, you can draw one from your hip socket through your knee through your ankle right here.
And all you're looking to be is two inches outside of that.
If you want to get really technical, you can find your hip bone or your hip socket right here, and it's about two fingers, okay?
It's also usually about around the belt loops of the pants.
All right, so if you can't find any reference, just look down at your pants, look for the belt loops.
it's usually right around the belt loops.
Now I'm not going to argue with somebody if they're like this, or they're just a tiny bit like this.
Or if they even have a little bit of splay, it's perfectly fine to have a little bit of lead foot splay.
But you can't do what we want to do with a stance like this.
Because when your stance gets overly wide.
A it's going to limit your ability to be able to shift weight, b Your head's going to start moving all over if you do, try to shift weight.
And we need to be in a position that's very kind of mobile for us to move weight and rotate, but also not have us go all over the place.
Second thing is going to be axis tilt.
Now, we see people, when they start adding axis tilt, they go too much, they go too little.
You just need a little bit, okay?
Now, if you look at me, And you're confused about how much you need to have.
All you have to do is just drop a club down your stardom.
Put one hand on your stardom, one hand on your belt.
And all you're going to do is you're going to bump your lead hip towards the target just a little bit.
And you're going to see.
I've just created a little bit of axis to a little bit of lean away from the target.
This is going to aid in me getting my trail hand on the club.
This is going to aid in how I rotate the back.
So it's also going to aid.
Now I shallow off the club and the downswing, okay?
So we have to make sure that we have the proper stance with and we have to make sure that we have access to it.
I don't want to see anybody, even in this phase one drill, because I've seen this a lot on swinger views.
Setting up like this, okay, where they're leaning towards the target like this, and they're like, correct, why do I keep hitting everything back?
Why am I so steep when all it was was just a very simple setup correction?
The third thing is posture.
I know everybody has varying degrees in their thoracic.
Maybe they work at a desk all day like I do, and you start to get a little bit around it.
But the big thing is we need to try to get the spine as flat as possible.
We want to take those vertebrae, and we need to really open up the perceptuals so that we can rotate much easier in the golf swing.
An easy way to do this is to just drop a club right down your back.
Put one hand at the base of your spine right here, kind of around your belt.
Put one hand on your head.
And when you get into this position, hinge forward from your hips.
Resettle the weight.
Bring the club back out in front of you.
You can see that my posture is in the correct position.
I don't want to see anybody dipping down their head like this or getting in this kind of gorilla posture.
They start to round forward and their arms are all bent.
flat posture or as close to it as you can.
Now this is my biggest pet peeve out of them all.
Make sure.
This is my biggest pet peeve out of them all.
Anthony can probably attest to this.
I know Chuck can attest to this because we've seen a lot of it with the rendition of C4.
It's going to be weight distribution.
Where should the weight be?
That's seven.
Simple question.
Simple answer.
Well, we want the weight centered over the angle joints.
Now, what we've seen a lot of is that players are hinging forward and getting into position, and they're setting up like this.
Now, what's the problem with this setup that I'm in right now?
I've got flat posture.
My right arm or my trail arm is just underneath my lead.
What's the issue with this position?
My weight is sitting too far towards my heels.
Now, this is a very important thing to understand because you're moving pressure in your feet, and you've got to be very kind of dynamic in the swing.
If you take your setup and all your weight is towards your heels, what direction do you think you're probably going to go?
If you're already back, you can't move back of back.
The only thing you can do.
Is go forward, because the brain is always trying to counterbalance.
You know, you're swinging this weighted mass, it's literally all it's trying to do is keep you upright.
It really doesn't care about how good looking your golf swing is or your results, it's just trying to keep you from falling over.
So if you set up with your weight all the way back here on your heels and you start to make a back swing, well, you're going to start to counterbalance.
So a lot of this kind of early extension problem that people have, or, you know, losing the push line is just because they're setting up in a position, but they can't move, okay?
So when you hinge forward from your hips and you're in your posture and you're in your setup, what you're looking for is to be able to draw a line from your ankle joint through the back of your knee joint.
I should be able to come up at you from 360 degrees and push you, and you should be able to fend me off.
But if you're set up here on your heels like this, I can push you from over.
You've got to be able to move in the swing.
You've got to be able to move back.
You've got to be able to kind of resettle, move back, move forward.
You've got to have this nice and balanced position.
So as you're working on C4, it's one of the biggest mistakes I've seen is all the weight just falls too far towards the heels and setup.
People don't understand.
I keep losing my touchline.
Why is that?
Well, there's your answer.
It may not even be your mood.
It may just be your setup.
In phase one, we allow a little bit of preset weight.
Now, in a normal golf swing, I want you to be 50-50.
Now, you can have a little bit here, a little bit there, a couple percentage points here and there I'm not going to be upset with.
But in phase one, since you're not really moving that dynamically yet, it's okay to preset the weight a little bit to the lead side because it's such a short swing.
You don't have a whole lot of momentum to kind of get things going.
If you want to preset just a little bit of weight, that's fine.
Now, I'm not saying go ahead and put 95% on this side and just kind of flow your arms.
But if you want to kind of move about 70, 75 on this side, just so you don't have to generate a ton of lateral motion because it's such a tiny swing.
No worries with that.
Also, in a normal golf swing, we're going to have that two inches outside neutral.
But in phase one, you can go a little bit narrower if you want.
Just for the item that I just mentioned is that you're not really moving that dynamically yet.
So some a little bit of preset lead side weight is perfectly fine, okay?
So with the boring stuff out of the way, setup, let's talk about the move, even though setup is one of the most important things.
I think Chuck said it the best way anybody could possibly understand it.
You want to take a race car out to the track, a perfectly built race car, out to the track with all the tires.
Makes sense to me.
So once you can understand setup, you can understand the stance, the axis tilt, where the weight should be distributed.
Let's talk about what we want to start doing, okay?
We're going to start hitting the ground running with phase one.
Now, as I mentioned earlier, I don't care if you don't have two giant mirrors like this.
I don't care if you don't have a camera for this.
You need to use your own eyes, okay?
Every single one of these breaths that you're going to do, you need to stop and check.
And that literally means that when you finish, you stop your move, and you go through these five checkpoints that I'm going to talk about right here.
Okay?
Every single one.
First thing is, we're going to talk about flat lead wrist.
Now, at impact, flat lead wrist is kind of the end-all view.
Because what this is going to do is it's not only going to de-lock the club.
It's also going to provide stability.
How many people struggle with the proverbial cupping and hitting those high floating shots?
If you want to control your spin, you want to control your trajectory, you have to have a flat lead wrist.
So the first thing that you're looking for in phase one is to have your lead wrist flat.
Now, if you have a really, really strong grip, Like I'm going to strengthen it like crazy right now.
When I go here, it's going to tend to still look a little bit cupped, but I can still get a flat lead wrist right here.
You miss a little bit more on the neutral side.
When you start doing this, it's going to look a lot more bowed.
But to have ultimate impact control, the flat lead wrist is a must.
Now, I've been with Rotary almost, well, a decade and a half now, almost two decades.
And I can tell you, one of the very first things that I ever did in my golfing career.
When I came to Rotary was Chuck having me work on getting a flat knee wrist.
Because I was a big trailside pusher and I had a lot of issues with how lack of release of the club.
And the very first thing I had to start to learn how to control was my flight.
I needed to understand what a proper impact position was.
And I solely just practice these small, flat lead wrist positions because at the end of the day, impact is everything, all right?
You can kind of mess up a lot of this golf swing if you do what's going on in the nine to three, but you especially get impact for record.
That's the only thing the golf ball knows is the contact that you're making an impact, all right?
It's the only thing that it knows.
That's why I can get up here and I can swing like this, but I have this impact position.
I have that wrist position.
I'm able to make sure that my club face is stable and I can hit that flight that I want.
So the first thing that you're looking for is you're looking for that flat lead wrist.
Number two, shoulders are square.
Now, why is it so important that shoulders are square?
Because, Craig, I've seen an overview of push-release, you know, where a little bit more trail side, or I look at these guys on TV, you know, they're wide open towards the target.
Now, we'll get into.
different releases later on.
We're working on control right now.
We're working on consistency.
I don't care whether you're a lead side releaser or a trail side releaser.
You still have to understand how this lead side works, okay?
And the easiest way to start doing it is to focus on shoulders being squared because the shoulder's being squared into a couple things for you, okay?
One, it's going to help out with the release in the long run because when your shoulders aren't.
gripping through, the club's going to start releasing a little bit more naturally on its own.
Because when the shoulders start rotating too much, it starts to leave the face open.
And when the face gets open, we're going to.
The second thing is, it comes down to power.
Now, right now, we're focusing on zero power.
We're focusing on strike, consistency, our flight, our checkpoints, but we're not really focusing a lot on power.
And players are so used to getting up here and trying to overpower the swing with their shoulders.
Especially if you've got big, broad shoulders and you're strong in the chest region.
You're used to powering the golf swing with your upper half.
This is the start to turning your upper half off.
You do not create power by spinning your shoulders and spinning your chest as hard and as fast as possible.
It's one of the most inefficient ways to create speed.
So right now, it's an absolute must that when you get to your impact position that your shoulders, or that your shoulders, are square.
Because it's going to have a long-lasting effect throughout this series and throughout your golfing career.
The third thing is, hips open, okay?
So when you're at impact, What we're looking for is that the hips are open 35 45 degrees and that your lead leg is straight.
Now.
straight means straight.
Straight doesn't mean locked out.
We don't need any torn ACL, MCL or anything like that.
It's passively straight, so as the lead leg straightens, the lead hip is going to clear behind you.
Okay, now?
This is going to allow for you to get to a proper impact position and allow for to release the glove later on down the line.
But here's the big, the big one that this is doing is it's gonna start to teach you that the legs lead the way.
You ever heard the term swinging from the ground What does it mean?
Technically, it's exactly how it sounds.
When you're working on this impact position, you're working on straightening the lead leg to get the hip open, to get the leg straight, you're starting to tell your brain that the legs are going to do the heavy lifting, that they need to be in charge of the show.
You especially couple that with shoulders square.
What are you going to notice right now?
Well, my shoulders are open.
My shoulders are square.
That's what everybody's looking for.
This is what I see on a daily basis, that the shoulders are open and that the hips are square.
When you need it the other way around.
So even though this is a very small shot, starting to understand.
And working on getting this hip position is going to allow your brain to start understanding.
Okay, well, he's wanting to use the ground force leverage, he's wanting to clear the hips, but he's wanting the hips to lead the upper half.
Which is one of the most basic things in golf that's been around for ages and ages and ages.
From there, it's the trail foot.
Now we can have lots of discussions on this topic.
I'll leave a lot of that for probably Saturday's or Tuesday session.
But in this instance, what we're looking for is to have the trail foot roll down.
Okay, so this trail foot roll in is going to do actually a lot of things for you when the trail foot rolls in, it's going to help ensure one that you move your weight over here, it's too flat or too planted.
It's going to be hard to make sure that you've moved enough weight to the lead side.
The second thing is, with the trail foot roll in, it's going to allow the lead hip to open up enough.
When the trail foot's flat.
And you're trying to shift weight unless you hang back on it like this.
But when the trail foot's flat and you're shifting weight.
The little bit of rolling is what helps allow for a little bit of mobility.
For this hip to open, okay, So this trail foot needs to be rolled in.
And as everybody should know at home, there's also the other big elephant in the room.
When this trail foot starts leaving the ground too early, the trail hip comes in, you start coming out of posture.
When you start coming out of posture, you're going to start playing the army hand again.
That's where we're going to start casting, throwing the heel at the ball, all sorts of issues.
Getting this hip to post up, allow this trail foot to roll in.
Now I want you to just watch me for a second right here.
You see how I.
I'm not really working that hard.
If I if my weight's on this leg right here, so my weight's on my trail leg right now.
Okay, now, I'm going to put my weight on my lead leg.
Now I'm going to let my hip open.
What did my right foot do?
My right foot followed as my lead hip opened.
Okay, so Some players may need to feel it glued, but some players just need to relax a little bit.
If you're moving this lead side properly and you're just kind of letting this lay or be dead, a little bit dormant, it's going to roll in automatically on its own.
I physically can't get my hips this open with my weight on my lead leg without letting my trail foot roll in like this.
So our trail foot needs to be rolled in.
And lastly, our head.
needs to be down and behind.
Now, the down part is going to aid in the release, okay?
Because when your eyes start moving with your release, where the eyes go, the head goes, the chest goes, and we'll talk a little bit more about that when we discuss release on Saturday.
But it's very important for consistency that this head stays down as you're working on this move.
I know you're eager to hit the shot.
But let's work from here and then out towards the golf ball.
And what I mean by that is let's work on getting our checkpoints first and then worry about what the ball's doing, okay?
Because manufacture a shot.
I can manufacture any golf shot.
It doesn't mean I do it correctly.
Let's focus on the correct movements first.
So as you start to rep and as you start to go through this, Just kind of forget about the ball for a second.
When you start checking your checkpoints, check your checkpoints first.
Once those start to become a little bit consistent, then start to worry about the golf ball, okay?
Because more often than not, especially with using our AI system, players are just watching the golf ball.
So they'll get up here, and they'll do a phase one, and they get to this position, and they're like this.
And they look at it, and they're like, oh, okay, well, the shot met the criteria.
Well, I'm glad that the shot met the criteria, but what about all this other stuff?
Get your checkpoints first.
The ball will take care of itself.
And these five checkpoints are a must.
When you work into this position, shoulders square.
Hips open.
Lead leg straight.
Trail foot rolled in.
Head down.
Head behind the golf ball.
Wrist flat.
It can even be a little bit bowed.
I don't want to see any of this.
Okay.
The head behind the ball, I want to throw a little side note in there.
Phase one-ers that have opted to preset the weight a little bit.
have started a little bit like this, and then even though their weights are already preset, they start shifting like they would in a normal golf swing.
And then their head gets way out ahead of the golf ball, and they're like, I don't know what the heck's going on.
So just be careful.
When you preset this weight on this side, you really don't have a whole lot of weight to move right now.
So you don't need this big, long, drawn-out weight shift.
Because I keep seeing everybody's head.
Kind of get way out of head.
Finally, a student explained it to me what he was thinking.
I was like, oh, it makes perfect sense now.
So head stays behind the ball.
So what we're looking for as you're going through this, okay, we're going to take our setup.
Now, for me, I like to do it in a little bit more of a normal stance position.
Just me.
You don't have to.
You can be a little bit more like this.
You can be a little bit more weight on the lead side.
I just prefer a little bit more of a normal stance position.
What we're looking for is, as we move through here, is to check our checkpoints.
Notice, where did my head go?
Nowhere.
It's absolutely right here on this mat, okay?
And as I'm going to do it, I'm going to kind of work myself from the ground up.
I'm going to look at my feet, all right?
Trail foot rolled in right here.
I don't have a big heel lift.
Looks like my lead leg's straight.
I'm going to check my hip right here.
I have a little tendency to slide out ahead.
So my hip's open.
My belt buckle's pointed in front.
My chest is square.
My head is down.
My lead wrist was flat.
I'll do another one.
But notice how I didn't care.
I got tons of stuff I can hit in this room right now.
I don't care where it went.
I'm solely focused on these positions.
first because that's the most important thing because you're working on it.
It's your checkpoints.
Now another question I commonly get is what are we doing this backswing in this position?
Well, it's hard for me to say, just forget about it.
Because as you're working on phase one, if you set up here and you're rolling the club inside like this, it's going to be very hard to get back to a proper impact position.
So I don't want to say we can need something that's just serviceable, but we need something that's serviceable.
The only thing I'm really looking for you to do in this backswing is to make sure that you have some rotation.
And this trail arm stays relatively straight, okay?
Because if you have some rotation and this trail arm stays relatively straight, you're going to be in a position where you're going to be able to move back into the lead side and get back into impact.
I've had some players.
Just kind of start with their wrist, where they fan it this way, and they do everything correctly into the golf ball.
And they're like, I don't understand what's going on right here.
Well, I know that we said, you know, the backswing.
You can kind of take your hands off a little bit, but it's still got to have some parameters that you have to hit.
And the two big things I see is just overly using the wrist or folding that trail arm early, so just keep that trail arm straight and allow for the shoulders to rotate back.
Especially for those that are having a narrow stance, you're not going to have a ton of momentum or a ton of weight shift.
So you're just trying to set it into a position to work down here and that's.
It's funny because I catch myself in the mirrors right here, so I have this one right here and this one right here.
And that's kind of how I practice my move, and it's the same thing that I'll sit here and do all day long.
My trail arm pulling, my trail arm pulling.
You don't need to be that obsessive at this point now, if we understand what we're doing from here, a little backswing weight post impact, what should we be looking for in our shot?
If you're hitting, okay, and only if you're hitting the checkpoints, What are the balls doing if you're not getting your check balls?
Well, this shot should be relatively straight, okay?
So we're looking for a straight, lower -flighted ball.
Because why?
The lead wrist is going to be flat.
If this ball is sailing up towards these lights in the ceiling, your lead wrist is not flat, okay?
So the first thing is we have to make sure that this ball flight.
is a lower trajectory, and it's straight.
So that means that you're starting to understand and gain control with your lead hand in the club face, okay?
The next thing is the ball has a tendency to have maybe a little push on it.
It may move out a little bit towards the right.
Now, it shouldn't be out of our dispersion window, okay, which is only one or two yards.
That's not coming this.
So it shouldn't be out of our dispersion window, but it's going to have a little tendency maybe to push a little bit because we're not allowing for this big face rotation of the club right here.
We're holding on to it a little bit with this lead side, and the face may stay open a degree or two.
It's perfectly okay if it's a little bit of a push.
So we're looking for 10-15 yards, lower flag, straight, One or two yard dispersion, if it's a tiny bit of a push, and as you've probably seen in the videos with Chuck from that white tape one, if it's a tiny bit of a push, no problem.
So as we work through here, we're going to set up, make our backswing, shift post.
This is what we're looking for.
You should literally be able to talk to yourself as I'm doing up here and do it over and over again.
Now I can tell you, it took me a while to get back to doing that.
When I first started rebuilding my swing or getting my swing back, it took me a while to kind of do that.
But through reps, I'm working on it and checking my checkpoints and doing all the kind of mundane things it does that it takes to build a proper golf swing.
I can do this now and have a conversation with you.
If you get to that point, you know you're going to be okay.
I want to talk a little bit about some of the trouble spots and some of the.
You know, shots that I'm seeing when I get the reports coming in and then I'm going to do a few more reps as well, this one.
If you want to do a couple at home, if you've got a mat there, if you're sitting there, hit a couple.
Look at your checkpoints If you look at your checkpoints and something's not matching.
When we finish this session, I'm going to do a little Q a all right and say, Hey, Craig, you know, I stepped off for a second.
I tried to do this and I'm struggling with this position.
Let's talk about it.
Let's have our airing of grievances right now.
It's starting to be Christmas time.
It's not the best of us yet, but let's air out our grievances while we're here.
So if you want to test it out, we're going to do a Q&A and talk about it.
On Saturday, it's going to be very interactive because I'm going to actually want you to kind of do some of the drills with me.
I've kind of tweaked some things a little bit.
I advise you, you know the checkpoints right now.
If you've got a mat like me right now, go hit one.
Or make a swing.
Look in the mirror and be like, oh, you know, I'm still doing that.
Let me ask Craig while I'm out right here.
The four most common things that I've been seeing in phase one is fat shots.
Or the first one is fat shots.
Now, what are the three things that I've been seeing on my end that are producing these fat shots?
The first thing is, it's making the takeaway and returning back to impact and the weight staying back on this trail lift.
If you don't have enough weight shift, you're not going to be able to move the bottom of your swing arc up enough to have that proper kind of downward blow.
So if you start getting up here, and I'll demonstrate, if you start hitting shots, and you're like, okay, I'm getting here.
I'm hitting it fat.
You can even see that that ball showed up higher.
My weight is sitting back on my trail side right now.
That's why I say scuffy.
That's why you can hear it's a little bit scuffy before the strike.
Fat shots are usually caused by lack of weight transfer.
So as you're working on this, you start experiencing fat shots, check your weight.
Also, I want you to check your hip turn.
Make sure that your hips are open.
If you're like, Craig, my weight's on this side.
I mean, I can visually see.
My right foot is off the ground.
I can dangle this thing.
I'm still hitting fat shots.
Well, check that your hips are open.
Remember, your hips have to clear to provide room for impact in the release.
So make sure.
that this belt buckle's pointed out in front, that this lead leg's posted.
If I work into impact and I have weight on this side but my leg's bent like this, what do you think the club's going to do?
It's going to go right into the ground, okay?
Another thing is this pesky little trail hand.
You may be working on this and you may be getting weight back, posting up, and you're still hitting it fat and that's just because your trail hand is taking over.
A couple telltales other than just hitting it fat, you're probably going to see some over rotation in the face, and you're going to see that your lean wrist is starting to cut.
But I want you to think about it this way.
You set up, everything's going great, I'm hitting it fat.
Okay, why am I hitting it fat?
Check your weight.
Check your hips.
Work it from the inside out first.
I've got weight, I've got hips.
Is it my trail hand?
Okay, the way I look at the golf swing, the way I look at any swinger views from the inside out.
Okay.
Go through that checklist for getting fat.
Now, hitting it thin.
Typically, this thin is going to be caused by two reasons in phase one.
Number one is you're trying to produce power.
I can tell you, a 10-15 yard shot, it doesn't take a whole lot of motion.
10-15 yards, you shouldn't be trying to create power.
Okay.
In fact, As I used to tell the students in the clinic, nobody's going to be really that impressed with that 10 15 yard shot.
So you don't need to do anything special with it, only you should be.
But the thin shots typically caused by players trying to create power with their shoulders.
So that they're taking their shoulders and they're blowing through that checkpoint, they're getting to here and as they start to work into the strike, the shoulders are wide open.
Like this, trying to get this impact position because they're trying to motor it with their upper half.
Now, remember, I'm trying to get you to start feeling what it's like to leave with your lower hand.
Okay, I want the lower hand.
So if you start experience then shots.
Check your shoulders, also if my hip goes too far, specifically outside my lead foot.
We kind of commonly refer to as a slide.
If I slide my hips, that's going to also lead to thin.
Not only are you going to hit thin shots, you're going to tear the labrum.
But sliding into the shot in lack of post is going to cause you to hit thin shots.
Wrist Okay If you're struggling with hitting high struts, check your wrist position.
It's very, very uncommon at a cup left wrist or cup lead wrist is being caused actually by the lead wrist.
Now I'll tell you what I saw for the first time today a student that was actually doing it with his lead wrist, which is very rare.
But the most common culprit still goes back to this power aspect.
This is a 10, 15-yard shot.
As you work from here to here, the only thing that's going to cause that lead wrist to cut is your trail hand is being too active.
And what you'll notice is, what's that doing to my face?
It's adding loft to it.
So not only now are you cupping your lead wrist, which is going against the rules of engagement with a ball point, now the ball's going high and probably a little bit too far in the space.
But you're also not getting to this kind of compression point, okay?
You're trying to hit it too hard.
You're trying to use too much trail sign.
These appendages have to play nicely together.
If this one's dominating in such a small motion right here, you're going to start hitting high shots.
You're going to start cupping your lead wrist.
It's the only thing that's really positive.
And lastly, if you're struggling with toe or heel strikes, the toe strike is going to kind of go back to a little bit of my shoulder theory, is that you're trying to power it with your shoulders.
And so when you start trying to power it with your shoulders, what's going to happen is that lead shoulder is going to bail out.
Too soon behind you.
When you start moving this fulcrum position, Okay, this is going to be your kind of fulcrum in the golf.
When you start moving this fulcrum position out of the shop.
Too soon, you're going to start swiping across it, hitting the toe shot.
Now, the one that I love is when people do that, they start swiping across it and they combine it with release.
So you just went from the toe slapper to the toe double duck hook.
Because your shoulders are pointed that way and you're releasing it that way.
So if you start struggling with a lot of toe strikes, just like with the thin, go back and check the shoulders.
Okay, if you're struggling with the heel strike, there's a lot of different reasons you can struggle with heel strikes and this small motion.
It's only kind of two things I want you to think about Number one If you're excessively pushing off that trail foot, it's going to start to bring the heel out towards the ball.
Second, this.
Now, remember earlier I said that we don't really care about a perfect takeaway at this point.
But it's got to be serviceable.
It's got to be within the margin.
If you're rolling it this way, And then you start to make all these proper moves.
Coming down, you can see that my club face is wide open, you know, start to present that heel to the golf ball.
Okay, so if you start experiencing those things, those are kind of the checkpoints of what I want you to look for.
Okay, and all of these are going to be in your phase one, it's going to be all of your faults and fixes.
But these are kind of the most common things that I see.
Sometimes you just can't bottle it up well, I'm hitting it fat, so it's solely just weight shift.
No, sometimes it's not solely just weight shift.
Sometimes you did get your weight over there, but you forgot to post up.
So you didn't clear enough space to work into impact and start working into a release position.
So I kind of want to just give you a few checkpoints on each and what they kind of can cause.
Between now and next session, okay, our goal, and you'll see it's on the last page of today's slot, is to get 300 reps in, okay, with a minimum of 100 each day.
Now, what does that really mean?
Craig, when you want me to get 300 reps in, does that mean I'm just going out there and I'm just going like this, back and forth, hitting golf ball, golf ball, golf ball?
No, I want 300 quality reps because there's going to be some of you that by the time we get to Saturday, Do you still need to be doing this?
Okay?
And that's going to be okay because even though we're going to move on with the program, you're going to have your outline, your game plan.
But I need you to start understanding what you're doing right here.
And I need quality.
When I say put in 100 reps, I want you grinding it out.
I want you checking everything.
single rep.
Now, 100 reps per day.
Does that mean I'm looking for you to do every single one of those with a golf ball?
Not necessarily.
You can if you're hitting your points.
But let's throw in a little bit of mixture in there, okay?
I always used to do about five reps per ball.
Now, if you're already really adept at doing this correctly, You can drop it down to three rooms per ball.
If you're really good at doing this, you can drop it down to one room per ball.
At least at home.
But I want you to have quality reps.
I want you to set aside some time.
I know it's tough right now.
A lot of people either are back in the office or they work from home and it's chaos at home.
They're trying to get back to the office.
But I want you to schedule some time for yourself.
You're already taking this class.
You're already.
You know, committing yourself to becoming a better golfer this off season?
Let's let's get off on the correct foot with this.
Now I want you to schedule yourself some time and whether you're going to do five reps per ball to get to your 100 or three or two.
I want you to work through and make your little back swing and work the impact.
I want you to stop right now, I want you to go through all these positions, my wrist flat, my foot, my hip, my shoulders, my head down.
Can I start to make this move without having to think about it too much?
Maybe at first you're starting this, or even when you get the golf ball in front of you.
Like, Well, I'm setting up here and I'm thinking about, Okay, I'm gonna rotate here.
Keep my right arm, sure, I'm gonna shift my weight, I'm gonna post, keep my shoulders.
It doesn't work that way.
But that may be you at the start.
Because maybe four out of these five checkpoints, you know, you're struggling with hitting.
Well, pick your battles.
So I'm going to get here and demonstrate the four of them.
Now, I almost hit my computer on that one.
So I just proved my point.
What did I do wrong here?
Well, you can see that my right heel is way up off the ground.
So I pushed up off my right foot.
and my shoulders are wide open, which left my club face wide open, which shot the golf ball almost into my computer screen.
Now, that may be a little bit too much for you to think at one time.
Well, pick your back, okay?
Let's first work from this ground up.
Let's get this foot under control, because I know if I'm overly pushing with this foot, my hip's going to come in, my head's going to come up, my posture's going to come up, and I'm going to try to stay with my shoulders.
Kind of start fixing it from the ground up.
Okay.
And then when that starts to get a little bit better, maybe you spend five reps.
Okay, I've got my foot.
I've got my foot.
Okay, now I can put a little bit more emphasis on my shoulders.
Don't kind of paralysis by analysis.
Give yourself a chance to make the change.
Pick one.
Go through it.
Between now and Saturday, what I want you to do is schedule some time for yourself and be very diligent about it.
You don't have to have a camera.
You don't have to have a mirror.
You don't have to have a buddy or anything.
You can set up here.
Okay, this is good.
I'm hitting my checkpoints.
And if you're not hitting your checkpoints, go through the list from tonight.
Post up on the community page.
Post up on the forum page.
Send in a swinger page.
Take a live lesson.
Send us smoke signal.
We're going to help you out.
We want you to get this.
Okay?
So for now, what we're going to do is open it up for some questions.
You've got your homework.
I know today isn't really the fun and sexy day because we're just kind of doing set up and working on some smaller impact shots.
But it's the base.
fundamental, so to speak, of everything that we're going to try to achieve the rest of the camp.
And if you understand how to get to here correctly, I tell my students all the time, we can kind of mess up some of the other stuff.
I don't want you to build a golf swing that you're just getting away with it.
But golf is kind of a game of misses.
So if you're missing your swing in the correct spots.
You're still going to hit some quality shots because in fact at the end of the day, it's literally the only thing that matters.
All right?
The only thing that this silly little ball knows is where you're making contact with.
Okay?
Where this face is pointed, club face angle.
It's the only thing this knows.
Okay?
Let's post up.
some questions in the chat i'm going to try to get to everybody 10 a .
m Saturday get your reps in.
On Saturday, we're going to do a lot more work.
All right, so on Saturday I'm going to try.
Even though I can't see you, we're going to try to do some reps together.
Okay, kind of built a little bit of a accelerated portion of it.
I know I'm probably going to get this question and I'm going to go ahead and answer it.
Should you plug these reps into your dashboard to your AI?
Right now, I would just kind of track them.
But if you're doing this correctly, throw them in there.
Okay?
But if you're sitting here and you're like, Craig, I still don't know what.
Don't worry about it yet.
Worry about when you can start kind of getting this a little bit consistent and start plugging it in.
Okay?
But if you're doing this and you're like, Craig, I did my 300 reps.
firing on 80, 85%.
Plug them in every 10.
Check it.
Everything's going good.
You have the ability to do it.
Put it in your dashboard.
All right.
Okay.
Some questions.
Looks like Anthony's been trying to answer for.
I appreciate the help, Anthony.
So I'm going to just start.
Down here with David Linz on what is NJA.
If you have one prior to that, I'll apologize.
Just go ahead and repost it.
I'm going to start with that one.
Okay.
So what is NJA regarding stance with?
I'm going to try to wind that back.
So NJA is neutral joint alignment.
So neutral joint alignment is where your body's in a full balance position.
So when it comes to neutral joint alignment, if we ripped off all our skin and looked at our skeleton, that would be the position that you're purely balanced in.
So with stance width, neutral joint alignment would be your hip socket in line with your knee and ankle side, okay, or ankle joint.
And what you're looking for is to be two inches outside this line, so two inches outside your hip socket right here.
And that's going to allow you to set up.
in a proper position to be able to move, but also the correct amount of axis tilt.
Because what's going to determine the amount of axis tilt you have?
So I finish on my right toes for this drill.
Am I leaning too far forward or is it less rotation and more lateral?
If you're finishing on your right toes, so if you're working on this drill and you're like this, More than likely, what you're doing is you're shifting a lot laterally, and you're not clearing it properly with this lead leg.
You're adding a little bit of push, and you're moving too far towards the ball getting out here on your toes.
This is a very small shot.
There should be no reason this heals up.
Now, your pressure may be a little bit more towards the ball of your foot.
It shouldn't be back here when you get here on your heels.
It may be a little bit more towards the front of the foot.
but you shouldn't be up on your toe box.
In playing with this, I noticed that if I started the downswing by rolling the right foot in automatically, I automatically turn my hips and post up.
Is that order okay?
Well, if you think like Axiom, the pressure motion, all right, when you're working through here, as you start to kind of get off all over that toe, you can see it's aiding in me getting this lead hip open.
If you want to use a little bit of axiom foot motion for this, no problem with that, okay?
The problem is what I typically see is that players start getting a little bit aggressive with this, and they don't realize it, and all of a sudden their ball is 150 yards.
But all it sounds like, Roy, is that you're using a little bit of that axiom motion, which is perfectly fine.
David, how do you find the videos, the search bar and the magnifying glass?
Sorry, the handout's just the PDF print out, not live links.
So if you go to the main webpage and you just click the magnifying glass, it's a pop-up word.
If you have any questions, forum, community, I can get you to any video.
Anthony can get you to any video.
What I might do for the next session or send out is I'll just put up a list of what these videos are to help you out.
But just use the search tab and use one word and the whole list to populate.
Grip pressure.
In a prior video, you want it soft to allow the face to close.
Well, typically, Howard, grip pressure goes between a 2 and an 8 throughout a full swing.
At this point in time, your pressure is going to increase in the impact to hold off on the face.
But right now, it shouldn't really require a death grip because you're not creating a whole bunch of MPH.
I mean, like right here as I'm going through this.
My pressure is at like a high.
Now, if I'm screaming through here, I'm going to have to hold on for dear life.
All right.
Can you please clarify what you mean when you say shoulder square?
Rohan.
So my shoulder is square.
Yes.
This is my target line.
Okay.
So I'm hitting down this alignment stick right here.
What I'm looking for at impact.
right here, is that my shoulders are square to this alignment rod, not pointed open.
I don't want them overly shut, but my shoulders are square to my target line.
Hips 35, 45, shoulders square.
Jeremy, such a great session.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
I've been bending my right arm during the takeaway.
Will that cause my takeaway to go too far inside?
Yes, it will.
All right.
I'll keep practicing.
Thank you, Jedi Master.
If you take this trail arm and you start folding it early, it's going to be kind of hard to keep that club anywhere else but going inside.
So if your trail arm starts to fold early, the proverbial sawing of the wood, that club's going that way.
If we're not able to make it Saturday, is there any way to catch up before Tuesday?
The replay volume, I'm going to put all the homework in that replay.
And you can just follow along with me at any point in time you can catch up with it.
But remember, you're still going to be kind of going at your own pace with this.
If you finish boot camp and you're still kind of on phase one, don't worry.
These videos are going to be there for you to pick up where you need to.
Could you provide a visual on how to pull the club back?
I tend to fan it out and I'm confused by the concept of shoulder blade glide.
Santiago, I'm going to leave that for the.
The next session because I'm going to talk a little bit more about takeaway.
But the main thing is, and the easiest way to kind of think about it.
I don't have a ball around here, but if you have a ball or a bucket or impact bag, just grab it.
Like this, take your right shoulder behind your head, all right, that's all you have to do.
You can see my arms are straight and I'm rotating.
We've got the Roll the right Arm video on the website, which will also help you out with that.
At this point in time, it's a two-inch movement of the shoulder, but feel like you're just taking your core and your right shoulder rotating it behind you.
I'm standing right here.
Hey, what's going on?
How are you doing today?
All you're doing is letting your shoulder go behind you as your core is rotating.
But take away, I'm going to leave that for another session.
That's okay.
Let's see.
Impact bag.
Good to check on.
Yeah, Howard, impact bag is great.
No problem with that.
Foggy, please show a close-up on the fundamentals you were mentioning of what to do and what not to do.
I don't know if I can have time to go through all of them, but rundown of what to do.
We get to here.
Lead legs straight.
Trail foot rolled in.
Flat lead wrist.
Shoulder square.
Head down.
From down the line.
Head down.
Trail foot rolled in.
Lead leg straight.
Hips open.
Shoulder square.
Flat lead wrist.
Do another one for you.
Okay.
We shouldn't see any massive loss of push line or anything like that.
So we don't want to see.
Here, we're picking up the head, shoulders spinning open.
Any of those falls.
If you're not getting those checkpoints, that's the only thing.
Just make sure you've got those checkpoints, and you'll be just fine.
Let's see.
How fast should I swing the club in the drill?
Not very fast, Ben.
If you think about it, 10, 15-yard shot, pretty slow.
In review and address, driver through watch is left hip bump slightly left.
What percent of weight do you say should be on the left leg?
Jeff, think about it like a counterbalance.
If I'm creating axis tilt, okay, and my hip's going towards the target, what's going on?
I'm counterbalancing.
My upper half weight's falling this way and my hip's going this way, okay?
So you still should be 50-50 at address.
you may tend to have a little bit kind of like 55 45 leave the trail or maybe even 60.
So it may tend to have a tiny bit on the lead side, but the upper half and lower half are counterbalancing themselves.
Wedges, you know, are special shots.
You're going to have more over there, right shoulder behind on the takeaway.
Can you talk about it, please?
All right, I'll talk a little bit more about it.
Since we got some questions.
I'm going to come back to that.
Marcello When doing the 100 reps, recommend seven iron.
Any shorter iron, seven, eight iron will do.
How much shoulder turn should you try to get?
Ideally in a takeaway, 45 degrees spill.
And since everybody's got some takeaway talk, I'll show you in a second.
Is a mirror the only way to fall along if you don't have an internal bear hitting bay?
Yeah, you can use a mirror, backyard, living room, camera.
If you have an iPad or iPhone.
Just something to give you feedback, as long as you're watching your motions, yeah, and then checking them, that's what you need.
How we use this unique ID in this boot camp, I'm not sure what a unique idea is.
Henry, can you expand upon that a little bit?
45 degrees should get you to a nine I got a box, a dozen of them.
They're soft, but I can really smash them from Go Sports.
But I can swing them full and they don't do anything to my walls, which is kind of what I was looking for.
Is all this the same for the driver in the woods?
Bryce, I'll talk about driver in session four.
Driver has a different setup parameter and you're catching the driver at a different time.
So unless you're trying to have like a downward angle, there might be scenarios which you want with the driver.
But driver's a specialty club, okay?
So you're going to be catching the ball at a different time.
So the kind of mount before chaplain and bow you may not have, but the shoulders, the trail foot, the hip, everything's going to be the same.
But you're not going to be trying to make impact with the driver like this.
For the driver, you're going to be catching it at a different time, a little bit more ahead of you.
So there's just a little bit of different setup adjustment.
So that's going to be what changes everything.
Tony, isn't shoulder square a result of what comes before with the chest open at impact?
Isn't shoulder square a result of what comes before the chest open at impact?
Expand upon that a little bit, Tony.
I'll help you out.
Is that a Gamecock head cover in your bag?
Yeah, I've got all sorts of sports memorabilia.
So I had a little Braves thing over here.
That's a Gamecock.
That's Animal from the Muppets.
Goofy.
That's a trophy Chuck and I won together.
Bear Bryant.
That football helmet, I've got a good story for that.
I'll save that for another day when we've got some time.
So do you want to try to keep the right arm straight and the tape back or a little bend is okay?
Right now?
If it's a little bit soft here, I'm not gonna yell at you.
The ideal goal in the takeaway So this is for all the takeaway people that have questions, the ideal goal in the takeaway is.
For this trail arm to stay straight, Okay, so you want this trail arm to stay straight because it's going to help facilitate rotation, So ideally, 45 degrees trail arm straight.
If you're presetting a little bit, the stance is a little bit narrow, and you can see like right there, I've got just a little bit of bend in it.
I'm not going like this.
It's just a little bit on the soft side.
That's okay.
But know that the more and more you go through this program, you're going to have to get that right arm straight so you can rotate.
Hey, Garrett, how do I get a replay as soon as I get off on this?
I'm going to download it and get the rendering, and then I'll get it posted to the site for you, and you'll be able to access it in your my purchases.
Douglas White, what is the meaning of life?
How much time do we have?
I know we're already over.
I've got an answer for you.
I've got an answer for you.
I'll send you a message behind the scenes.
Being in Atlanta, you should destroy the Pats helmet.
I have a long story behind that, Santiago.
All right.
I got a long story behind that one.
I understand.
I understand.
I'll share the story at a later date and time.
It's not just the helmet.
There's some other inscriptions on it.
Do you agree with irons, hands versus club head, hands win the race to the golf ball?
Do I agree that hands win the race to the golf ball?
Well, this is the golf ball.
I'm moving from here.
I'm shifting.
I'm posting.
I'm working at the impact.
My hands, you can see, they're out ahead of the golf ball.
The club's going to kind of be the last thing.
It kind of gets there.
Everything.
You've already finished your legs, your shoulders, your hips.
Everything's kind of done.
And the last thing to finally happen is for this club to get there and for all the magic to happen.
Joseph, I struggle with posting up.
I'm a big slider.
It's way too far in the class right now.
Take a look at the Tour Pro downswing group on the side.
If you're sliding, what you're typically doing is you're pushing a lot off this trail foot, like excessively, which is causing a slide out ahead, okay?
What I would do is I would focus on, once you get your weight to your lead leg, focus on moving your pressure from the ball of your foot towards your heel, okay?
You focus on that as your legs straighten.
Okay?
Moving back towards your heel.
Legs straining, going from kind of the front of the foot to the back.
It's going to aid in that hip clearing and turn off that darn right leg and foot.
All right.
Watch how much of your push and reach up.
Thank you, Anthony.
Troy, thanks, Craig and Anthony, for seeing you Saturday.
We'll have one eye on U.
S.
men's soccer.
All right.
Go, USA.
At least on our.
I got people all over from this group.
JOSeph, Thank you.
I appreciate that.
All right, I'm gonna two more questions.
anybody?
how?
I'll open it up to two more questions.
Thank you Doug.
Technically, what is your first movement to initiate the post?
I've been analyzing the feeling that Chuck talks about, similar to parallel forehand shot in tennis.
Uh, what is your first movement to initiate the post?
Well, what?
What happens is as you get the knee externally rotated and you pull the weight with the inner thigh adductors.
And you get this glute loaded, you start to push off the ground, okay, so moving from the ball of your foot towards your heel.
The straightening and the contracting of the lead glute is what's going to kind of initiate the post firing that lead glute.
Thank you Raymond, Thank you Randy Ted.
Like your new teaching setup?
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Thank you Mitchell and Bryce Garrett, I appreciate it.
Nothing like tennis.
Well, Craig, you covered a lot of basic materials in the first lesson in an excellent manner.
I especially like your detail on the faults.
We would critique ourselves.
That's the whole point, Jim.
I want you to be your own doctor.
Be your own doctor of your golf swing to get better.
Just don't be your own doctor in real life.
I don't want to hear like, Craig, I sewed my arm back together.
You told me to be my own doctor.
Great first session.
Thank you, Pete.
Is there any hip?
Shoulder movement in this very limited phase one.
I mean, there are hips, there are shoulder movements.
But it's going to be 45 degrees a little bit with the shoulders.
It's very minimal with the hips.
You don't need a lot of hip rotation back.
30, 45 with the hips.
Don't use the shoulders coming down.
They'll get there.
Carol, Texas loves Craig.
Thank you, Carol.
I appreciate that.
Always good to see you, Carol.
Enjoy things.
All right.
Okay.
With that being said, I'm going to go get some dinner.
And 10 a.
m.
Saturday.
Hopefully everything's all squared away by now.
I appreciate you giving me a chance after this Thanksgiving.
I know I'm a little bashful getting on camera after all the, let's say, damage I did last week.
So, thanks for stopping by and starting to work in the golf store with me.
I enjoyed it.
Pleasure to have you.
And I will see you Saturday at 10 a.
m.
