Let me hop up here for just a second and I'm going to play a short video and then we're going to talk about what's going on.

So I have been working on something for literally two decades of my life.

I'm clearly not very bright or I would have figured this out a long time ago, but sometimes good things take time.

So I want to share it with you.

Craig and I have been working on it this week together.

You're going to start to see some of the.

What's going on and what I've really been trying to do with the GOAT code, and why?

It's there to truly make a radical change for you in your golf game.

And I mean, every part of your game.

And so it's been something that I've been obsessing about.

They say it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something.

I've got at least 20,000 in this, so I should be pretty proficient by now.

And most importantly, I know how to share it with you.

So I'm going to play a short video and then I'm going to hop back up here.

So just watch this video and enjoy.

Take a moment and watch Tiger hit a few sand wedges here.

Imagine going up to the range.

And your swing was this smooth, this effortless.

He's hitting a sand wedge here and you can see that there's just nothing but smoothness, elegance.

It's effortless, pain-free, easy on the body.

It's always been fascinating to me how easy and effortless he makes it.

Look, I don't know about you, but I love hitting balls.

I love being on the range with brand new, good balls.

I'll stay out there all day.

But if I'm not hitting the ball well, that wouldn't be the case.

When I was younger, that was the case often.

The harder I worked, the worse I seemed to get.

It took me years to really understand how to swing properly, how to protect my body, how to do it effortlessly.

And as I've gotten older now, now protecting my body is more important than ever before.

And Tiger's in the same boat.

He and I played college golf at the same time, at the same age, and had a lot of similar injuries and surgeries over the years.

And at this stage in Tiger's game, there's no question that he's prioritizing control, consistency, and protecting his body above all else.

And when he goes to his 8-iron, The same smooth, effortless swing is there.

Hard to tell the difference between the two, isn't it?

If you could swing like this, how often would you be out on the range?

It would probably be the end of countless marriages in America.

Because if you could hit the ball this pure, this consistent, this easily, this effortlessly, wouldn't you do it all the time?

It's got to be one of the best feelings in the world.

And while I certainly don't swing as well as Tiger, I've gotten relatively close, and I want to talk to you about that today because I have a dream.

I had a dream for a long time.

Not just that I could swing like Tiger, just swing this effortlessly and hit the ball in the center of the face every time, but that I could teach my members how to do it.

And I want to show you what we've done so far.

I'm sure by now you guys have all seen this golf swing.

It's pretty darn close for Tiger Woods' 2000 swing.

As I began to work back through things backwards, I began to see that if I tied everything together with one key element that I could replicate every single part of this game and do it with incredible accuracy and precision and completely change my own scoring, my own ball striking and match everything up nearly identically.

And I want to tell you how I did it.

Craig and I worked tirelessly to try and get the final key piece of the puzzle, to tie it all together.

So that our students that he's been working with in his unlimited review groups and myself.

That we can really internalize these movements and do them perfectly, do them exactly the way that Tiger does.

So that we could also swing this effortlessly, that we could hit the ball with this much control and do it seemingly like we're not even trying.

That's the magic of the golf swing to me.

When it's done right, it should seem like you're not trying at all when you're putting full force into it.

Here.

Piger's gonna hit a four iron, he's gonna hit this at least 210, 215 yards and watch just how easily he swings at the ball.

Imagine being able to strike a four iron right out of the center of the face with a perfect ball flight, perfect trajectory, perfect spin rate, absolute control, dead at your target every single time, I mean, it really is the holy grail of golf.

And the way that he's doing it is shockingly simple.

It took me decades of understanding, Decades of studying to really be able to boil it down to something so simple to tie everything together.

But that's what I've been working on.

That's what this new program is all about.

So the only question is, how many of you out there want to swing like this?

Want to swing this effortlessly?

Want to have this much control, to be able to hit the ball in the center of the face every single time.

The question is, who's coming with me, who's coming with me, who's coming with me?

Who wants to be able to swing like this?

And really understand that it's all done just from really one part of your body.

That's what we're going to talk about today.

All right, guys.

So in the chat, who's coming with me?

Who wants to go on this journey with Craig and I to really understand the true simplicity, The lack of complexity to make your golf swing so freaking simple that I wish I had figured this out a long time ago.

It's taken me so long.

So who's in?

Is everybody in?

Everybody?

All right.

All it really comes down to, first of all, let me back up a second, the trick to this is to go through this in sequence.

And I've been testing this with the RSA guys for the last month.

And I found that the goat drill.

Some of them would take it and be able to do it right away perfectly, and some couldn't.

And the reality is is that we're all at different levels, and we're all have different athletic, athletic abilities and strengths and weaknesses and flexibility, and so on.

And so I had to find a way to be able to get everybody, no man left behind.

I want a hundred percent success rate and that was my goal with the first with the RSA group.

I took four weeks of doing little live webinars like this for about an hour each Saturday, so one day a week.

I sent some videos during the week and I said, Okay, here's what I want you to do, and then we get in and I and I do a live webinar like this.

And I would help some of them on stage, try to help all of them as I could.

And I would pull them each time, each week and say, Okay.

Did you feel effortless?

shots?

Did your consistency improve?

And I didn't stop until I had a hundred percent.

So out of the 12 guys, all 12 of them improved.

Their consistency said their consistency was better, their power is better, their control is better, and they're feeling effortlessness.

That was the goal.

So then I'm like, Okay, now I want to test this with the bigger group and that is you guys.

So I'm hoping that you'll go on this journey with Craig and I.

To be able to understand that the golf swing is way freaking simpler than it's ever been made before, because it really does just come down and understanding how to move one part of your body.

But to get there, I had to go through a process.

I had to back up.

Now, it's no secret that I've never been a great putter.

Even when I played professionally, I've played on the mini tours for eight years, like PGA Tour, qualifying school, PGA Tour, qualifying events, Monday qualifiers, state opens, you name it.

I've played all sorts of events.

And all of that was carried on by my ball striking.

I was never, ever a good putter, reasonable, short game.

But putting is where the money's made.

And so I really had to in order to get everybody, to bring everybody up.

I had to start at the beginning.

And ironically, it's exactly how Tiger learned the game.

And so then, as I started thinking about it, it started to make sense as I started going through his drills.

Now, I know many of you haven't had a chance to go through the whole series of new videos that I posted.

These were the ones that I was testing with the RSA guys.

But once you start going through this, You're going to understand that there's a very specific way that you're going to learn this.

That's going to speed things up faster than you can ever imagine.

The trick is going full speed right out of the gate, like we've always said, is really tough.

Some people can do it, some can't.

But if you start with the putter and you start with those one-handed drills, you will start to understand the golf swing.

But I'm gonna, I'm gonna skip ahead and kind of share with you that the secret that's going to make all this tie together.

So that when you go back this week and you start working on these drills, you're going to understand the importance of it, the value of it.

Because I do want you to start right at the beginning with that one-handed putter drill, it is incredibly important.

So how did Tiger get everything to be so simple, to tie everything together, and how do you do it?

The reality is, it's all right here.

This is the golf swing, your core.

Once you learn how to move this, everything falls into place.

And I mean that quite literally.

Because everything that you're going to see.

That Craig and I were working on this week, and the incremental steps that we're working on couldn't fit.

I couldn't get everything to dial in perfect until I really started focusing on how to engage my core.

And I've got these core activation videos I've already put up on the site.

But you can't do it.

You can't.

Have a proper golf swing.

Without engaging this correctly, it simply doesn't work, and when you think about it, it makes perfect sense, right?

How many of you struggle just real quick in the chat?

How many of you struggle with what your arms are supposed to do in the golf swing?

And the club going inside or across the line, or you get in a weird spot at the top, just real quick in the chat.

How many of you?

I?

I would say, there's 140 people alive on here right now, and I would say, probably all of us.

Yeah, see where the chat's blowing up, right?

Everybody and I struggled with the same thing.

I have really long arms.

I'm only 5'9", but I could dunk a basketball since I was a freshman in high school.

I had a big vertical jump, but I got really long arms.

And so my arms and my skinny chest, my arms want to do this all the time.

And Craig and I were working on this this week.

We're trying to get the next step in the series of videos, which it goes putting, chipping, pitching and wedge play, iron play, driver play.

And so the next step is the pitching and the wedge play that you're going to see a video on in just a moment.

And no matter what, I had the hardest time of keeping the club from going inside my hands.

And I tried every trick in the book.

And I mean, literally, Craig will attest in the chat.

I was like, OK, Craig, I'm going to try and feel like I'm going to push down on my thumb with my right hand.

And we try that and see what the results would be.

And then I'd be like, OK, Craig, I'm going to try and feel this and I'm going to try and feel that.

None of that stuff works.

And you guys all know this because you've all tried this, right?

It's infuriating to try and get a simple, consistent golf swing.

Why is it so darn hard to keep that club going up on plane?

Everybody wants to rip it inside.

The trick is you have to have something else to move the golf club.

And more importantly, how many of you know how to move or let me ask you this.

How many of you had tried and worked on your quote unquote hip movement in the golf swing?

and struggled to get your hips to move like a tour pros?

How many of you?

Yeah, everybody, right?

Me included.

Yeah, this chat just exploded there.

Everybody has struggled with their hip movement.

Everybody has struggled with their arm movement.

But what's in between those two?

Your core.

Your core is the secret to the golf swing.

And I'm going to show you in just a moment.

Once I started.

realizing that if I just focused on doing my core movement, my arms and hands and my hips both automatically took care of themselves.

Now, what I really had to do was unlearn things that I had done in my swing, trying to move my hips.

That's one secret I'm going to tell you.

You don't try to move your hips to swing like the goat.

To swing like tiger, you don't try and move your hips at all.

And you don't try to move your shoulders at all.

You move your core.

When you move your core, you will be able to swing exactly the same because that's really all tigers really doing.

Now, of course, there's nuance and details and so on.

We'll get into those.

But the truth is, once you learn how to engage your core and sync it up with your trail hand, so if you're right-handed, your right hand and your belly.

Need to form a connection in your mind, and that's what the Pro this program is all about.

Once I started going through it myself and making myself have the discipline to go through these drills, that seem like I'm already good enough.

Butter, forget it.

I don't need to worry about this.

Once, I really said, No, no, I'm going to start from scratch, and I'm really going to do it exactly the way that Tiger does.

You've seen these drills, he does the same things that I'm teaching in this program.

Once I did that, my brain started changing, my body movement started changing, and I started moving athletic again.

I had gotten to the point where I I felt kind of discombobulated, trying to copy Tiger's movement patterns.

Because I couldn't coordinate this upper half and this lower half very well because the part in the middle wasn't working right.

And that's what I was seeing with all of my students.

When we were testing this with RSA and talking to free members, they all struggled with the same thing.

So now, As I started working through this and started getting my right hand and my brain and my belly to work together, Then everything started falling into place, and everything started happening automatically without me having to think about it.

And I want to show you this next piece that we're going to.

I'm going to be working on these videos over the next couple weeks, that's going to show you the next piece.

And I want to see what you guys think about this, to see just how incredibly similar once you get this core working, how similar your movement patterns can be.

So take a look at this and let me tell you, or you guys give me your thoughts on what you see.

The next phase of the program, after the putting and the chipping, is getting into pitching and wedge play.

And that's what Craig and I were working on.

This week is taking that next step on getting all of these things dialed in and really getting the core to work with the trail hand and get the club to move in the proper way.

What you're going to see here is building.

Uh, taking those building blocks that I've done in the putting and the chipping, so posture is such a big thing.

The feel in my right hand, to control the club face, the feel and activating my core, all of those things are required before you can pitch the ball properly.

So even the setup is so fundamental.

Because you can't engage your core the way most golfers set up.

The webinar I just did this week with the free members showed so many golfers who don't engage their core at all.

And so you'll see their rear ends stick out a lot.

The trick to this is this very subtle curvature of the spine that Tiger employs.

And you'll see that I have, didn't do a very good job there drawing that line, did I?

The curvature is core activation, just like you're doing a sit-up.

And the reason this is so important to set up this way is that if you start with, your chest popped out and your rear popped out, you're lengthening the muscles in your core, your abdominal wall.

And so you actually not only not supporting your spine, But you don't have these muscles engaged to be able to move from there in the first place.

That we're going to talk about more in just a moment.

So you have to build up.

piece by piece, Because what I found is it's just too big of a step for most golfers to take that Goat drill and put it into action.

Cause if you don't use your core, there's no point of learning how to move your right arm.

If you don't know how to use it correctly with your core.

So I'm going to walk through this stuff again.

There's a, there's some slight differences here.

Obviously I am in relationship to the camera.

I am set up way more left than tiger is.

So that's going to change a couple of different.

angles of the club.

So when you're videoing though, make sure that you're videoing as close to straight down the line as you can.

This will make everything so much easier to dial in.

So now the first key as you're starting the takeaway, there's a couple subtle little things that you're going to see.

But the main thing that we're really focusing on at first is at the end of the takeaway, that club head has got to be outside your hands.

This is the most common mistake that most golfers make.

And it happens when you pronate with that left arm or hinge that right wrist back, or really just not using your core to take the club back.

That is what it comes down to.

If you don't use your core, you will have to use your arms and hands, and that will always cause that club head to go inside.

So this is your first primary checkpoint.

And once you understand how to do this correctly, then everything else becomes so much simpler.

But if these first few feet of club travel are off because you're not using the correct muscles in your body, then it's really kind of game over and you do not start, you do not pass go, do not collect 200 bucks.

And that's why I started with the putting at first to get that feel in the right hand, To get a sense of control and really train your nervous system to pay attention to what you feel in your fingers of your right hand.

And what it's doing to that club face.

And obviously the left hand is involved as well.

When we add the left hand back on there in the putting and the chipping, you start to get a sense of how your body has to work together to control this club face.

Now from here.

The club, the path of the club is on, is going to be really, really simple.

But there's a couple more super critical checkpoints, and most golfers right arm has really collapsed at this point.

That right wrist is hinged a lot.

The biggest checkpoint I want to give you is that right about here at nine.

And this helps keep the club in front of the body and sync with the body, but also shows that you're maintaining that supination that you start out with at address, Because that is going to help ensure that the club works up on plane and isn't getting wrapped around deep behind you.

Cause that's going to change the clubface angle.

At the end of the day, this is all about controlling that clubface.

So what I've done here is moved my core to move my arms, to move my hands, to move my club.

But I'm really feeling and sensing that club in both hands, more so on the right than anything else, because that's what's going to help me control the club face angle.

But you'll see at this point, we're pretty well matched up.

Now I made a little bit longer swing than Tiger, but you'll see as we start coming down, again, camera angles are slightly different here.

So now Tiger's hitting a cut in this shot on the right.

I'm hitting a cut here just to get the release patterns to match up, as you'll see as we've come down.

So now I'm going to be a little bit steep because I'm trying to hit down on it, swing a little bit more left.

And you'll see the club immediately starting to work left here.

So you can see right here, it's just the toes just about on the ball.

And then as it comes down, I'm going to work at left because I'm hitting a little bit of a cut here.

At impact, we're pretty close.

Obviously Tigers.

Three or four inches taller than me.

I have really narrow shoulders and very long arms, and short legs, and a long torso.

And he's the opposite, he's got long legs, shorter torso, medium arms.

So obviously that's going to change things a little bit.

But overall, you'll see that the basic gist of things is nearly identical.

And it's all built from this putting to chipping, to pitching.

Proper setup mechanics, proper feel, core activation, proper movement of the club going back, and then it makes everything happen automatically.

I can't possibly think about how to swing down.

All I'm thinking about here is just hitting a cut, just swing a little bit more left and holding the release of the face off a little bit.

So now here you can see the club face is still maintaining some openness here.

Again.

Tiger and I look pretty similar clubs, gonna come out, very similar spots in terms of, you know, relationship to the body.

And you can see that we're both using that right hand to hold the club face off.

That's what creates this look of the right arm being straight and swinging across the body.

And that's what gets us into the same position.

And again, these are all things that are happening truly dynamically happening much too fast for me to control.

We both even kind of like fall over, settle back into our lead side or to the left of our body at the same time.

These movement patterns to get it this similar.

are all done with just really basic fundamentals.

Core activation, proper setup, engaging your core at setup, which we're going to talk about in just a moment.

And using that to move the club back, you can swing like the goat.

It's all done just by understanding these really, really critical fundamentals and getting these things dialed in just right through baby steps.

one piece at a time, stacking one piece of the puzzle at a time, but it can happen really, really quickly.

It only takes a couple hours of putting to get a feel of that right hand, a couple hours of chipping, a couple hours of pitching, and that's going to build into the full swing, and that's going to build into the iron swing, your driver swing, and so on.

So let's talk about some more of these fundamentals that you're going to need to get your swing dialed in.

So what do you guys think?

In your opinion, how close is that to the good?

I'm going to take a look at a couple of questions.

I am going to discuss core muscles.

Absolutely.

Mike Awesome had instant results.

That's killer.

So what do you guys think is that, Matt?

Those movement patterns seem to match up with what the Goat is doing there.

Yes or no?

no, no, no, wrong answers.

Yes, okay, okay.

So we're on this, we're on the same page then, right?

All that is is learning how to move this with my belly, That's it.

Once you learn how to move this with your belly, then you start to understand the golf swing and everything's going to start to make sense.

So now I know the RSA guys have all bought these already.

I'm going to put up a link real quick.

If you guys don't have one, I'm going to explain what these are all about because it's very important and you can.

This is blocking the screen.

You can close it.

But this is just off Amazon.

It's the same one I bought.

It's six pounds.

I don't like to go heavier than six pounds for a bunch of different reasons that we'll talk about.

But this is what you really need to be able to do.

You need a medicine ball with handles.

And you need one that's about six pounds for most people.

Because this is what's going to teach you how to start to engage your core.

Because the reality is most people don't know how to do it.

They can't feel their core.

Their abs have gotten completely neglected because we sit all the time.

It's just not part of our natural daily life anymore to need to use our core.

In fact, we tend to do the opposite.

And so you need to start training yourself to get this engaged again.

It doesn't have to be super strong.

You don't need to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, but you do need to learn how to activate it.

And you need some weight to do that.

The problem with the golf club is it's really light.

And because it's so light, you can just fling it around all over the place with your arms.

And that's what we do.

And that's how we trigger the golf swing.

And if you don't trigger, you don't start the swing with some core rotation or relatively a lot of core rotation.

That's one thing you'll notice in Tiger Swing that's unarguable is that even on a short swing, he always makes a big shoulder turn, but he's not turning his shoulders.

He's turning his core and that's moving his shoulders.

When you start to move your shoulders, You start to run into all the problems that you guys probably have already, where the club goes inside.

Like almost everybody said yes and the club goes inside.

Any movement from this lead shoulder or this lead arm or this lead hand, almost any movement will wreck the swing if you start out that way.

If you start to go pushing across your body, letting this wrist roll at all, letting this arm internally rotate, the club will always go inside.

And then your swing is just an instant box of compensations from there.

that's the problem because this thing is so light.

It doesn't teach you that you need to engage your core.

It teaches you to use your arms and hands.

And so this, what it does is it starts to make you want to use your whole body.

That's why you need some weight.

You don't have to have a medicine ball if you've got to wait at the house or something on the site.

So that are already on there.

The whole series is up there up to the chipping stuff.

They're up to the chipping stuff.

Power.

It's not just about having a proper takeaway or a core takeaway or a core.

Be able to feel like I can hit the ball as far as I want and I can as long as I use my core.

Then I can go after it on every shot.

I don't have to feel like I've got to have kind of a smooth swing.

Of course, smooth is helpful, of course.

But how many of you out there feel like when you go to try to put something into it?

You don't get better results, you get way worse results.

I think most golfers feel that way, they feel like they can't use everything that they've got.

You kind of always got to throttle back a little bit in order to be able to have.

You know, to be able to put the ball on the planet, right?

Especially with the longer clubs.

I mean, who wouldn't want to be able to put everything they've got into their driver?

When you start doing this correctly, you can, you want to wail on a driver every now and then.

You can swing as hard as you want, and you will still be able to control it as long as you start moving correctly.

And that's why you have to go through.

Most of you, I should say, will have to go through this sequence the way it's laid out.

You've got to start with the putter, because with the putter, you're going to start to make little core movements and the putter swing.

As a, you know, as Tiger learned the game from the green back, he Earl put him on the green, said.

Put first and then chip and then start hitting wide shots and so on.

There's just something that changes in your brain, and it happened in my case as well, That as soon as I backed down and stopped trying to match Tiger's full swing at full speed.

And started really paying attention to the intricacy of the control that I needed to feel in my right hand, Get my brain and my core and my right hand to work together to control that clubface with the putter, when I started chipping, I had 10 times more control.

When I started hitting wedge shots, I had 10 times more control, and it built one on top of the other.

And it starts here.

So how do you start to put this together?

Now?

There's a whole series, there's four videos on the site, so I'm just going to briefly walk through this.

They're already there.

But the gist of it is you've got to feel your belly starting to work.

And you can't do this if you don't set up correctly.

Like Craig was on the, Uh, the free webinar we did the other night.

And the one thing that we both saw on.

Almost everybody that I brought up on stage to help them out.

I said, okay, just take your setup and almost every single one looked like this.

Now, what's wrong with my setup here?

What do you guys see that's wrong here?

What do you think is going to happen from this position?

Any thoughts?

Arched back.

Yep, absolutely.

What is it going to cause me to do setting up to the golf ball like that?

Because almost everybody does this because we all kind of want to let our bellies kind of hang out.

It's just a natural thing.

Inside takeaway.

Yep, exactly.

So because most of us don't realize how kind of, for lack of a better word, lazy we tend to set up to the ball, we do this and we let our belly kind of relax and hang out.

It puts a lot of curvature in our spine, which makes our rear stick out.

But what's also going to happen to my chest, my rib cage is going to pop up.

And so if you go back and you look at the wedge swing that I had of me with Tiger, We didn't look like this at all.

And the reason is, as soon as you engage your core, it actually does the opposite.

It pulls your hips under.

If you were doing a sit-up, Your abdominals all work together to pull your hips toward your body and your upper body toward your lower body.

And so as you start to set up this way, you're now in a position where not only is your back protected because your core is engaged, but it gets your chest tipped over to the ball.

And so from here, Now I can feel my core is engaged.

And as I take the club back, if I use my core, I have no problem keeping the club outside my hands.

But from here, I have a ton of problem of keeping the club because my chest is so flat in relationship to the horizon.

You've got to get your chest tipped over to the ball.

Using a medicine ball, this makes a lot of sense.

Because it kind of pulls you down into this position a little bit anyway.

So if you engage your core to fight gravity, the ball pulling your arms down, it's natural for it to hang down under your shoulders instead of like this.

This doesn't feel right.

The ball feels weird.

But a lot of golfers set up like this.

And as soon as they do that, of course, their arms are going to swing around.

As soon as you change that, now as I just go back and forth with this medicine ball, with my arms just hanging down, my fingers are light.

because that's why I want the ball with the handles.

As I go back and forth, I'm starting to use my core, my obliques, the muscles in my back.

The core is front and back.

And as you'll learn as we go through this program, it's really fascia that you're learning how to coordinate and move and fire in your swing.

But you've got to get a feeling of your core starting to move the ball back and forth.

Now, once I have this basic gist of the movement, my arms are not moving.

Other than them being moved, I'm not trying to move the ball.

And this is again why a ball with handles is really helpful.

Because what?

Almost every single golfer that we see starts their swing with their hands, arms or shoulders, or all three.

They roll with the left hand, they hinge the right wrist too much, they pronate the left arm, they push the left shoulder, they tilt the shoulders.

Whatever it is, it's all something happening from here up, none of it's happening from here.

But once you get a feel for that, what you're going to do from here is you have these muscles loaded up.

How would you throw this ball?

Now, this is one of the videos that is again on the site, but the gist of it is to use your core to throw the ball.

I like to take a little rocking step back and forth.

So my feet are kind of coming up and then I throw.

Now you'll see as I threw my right foot went back.

Why did my right foot go back?

Any ideas?

Hopefully, maybe some of you have seen the video.

Momentum.

Torque.

Yeah.

All right.

Torque is the answer.

Torque is how we create rotational force in our body.

When you use torque.

If this is turning this way, this needs to be turning this way.

And that is how you create resistance to create power in your golf swing from your core.

Now, even though the core is not moving that much in the swing, it's barely, it's only doing this and this.

It's hardly moving.

And it's one of the things I think has made it so difficult to really understand what's really happening in the swing.

Because the part that's really doing all the work doesn't look like it's doing much at all.

You can't really see it.

You can see your arms and your hands and the club and your legs and your hips and all that stuff, but you can't really see what's happening here, but you can feel it.

And once you get a medicine ball and you find a wall that you can start hucking this thing around, that is how you start to feel core engagement.

Again, I'm not going to go over this a lot because it's already on the site, but that is the key to starting to get everything in your golf swing to sync up.

To keep your arms in front of your body, you start with the supination of your arms, go back and forth, rotate and throw.

And that becomes the entire core, if you will, of the golf swing.

To learn it, you need to start with a putter.

And for most of you, Learning how to putt with trail hand and a little bit of core engagement will be very challenging at first.

But if you go through the videos on the site, the new putting videos, You just got to go through these little four or five footers and start getting a feel for it.

Then you're going to go through the T drill.

Then you're going to add your left hand.

Then you're going to start chipping and so on.

But it doesn't take very long.

Two or three hours of each one of those will get you about 500 reps.

500 reps is enough to start to transfer this stuff into your subconscious, your unconscious, so that your body is starting to move without having to think about it.

And that's where we need to get you.

And that's when you're ready to move on to the next piece.

Once you can start to do this stuff, these little simple drills, seemingly simple drills, the T drill is probably going to be a challenge for a lot of you at first.

I know for a lot of students that I've had here, It's been really tough at first to not whack the T's all the time with your hands because we're so used to our hands and arms.

Kind of going all over the place.

But once you start moving from your core, You'll find that you can get that putter to pass through that gate of T's the same way every single time, with incredible precision.

You're talking about millimeter level precision, which is what we need in the golf swing.

We need to be that accurate, but we need to start with the putter to start to feel the amount of precision.

I want you to start hitting the ball in the center of the putter face every single time.

And when you chip every single time in the center and you've got to train this hand, your brain and the core to start to work together.

And once you have that.

All of this stuff starts to make a ton of sense and you will see a radical change.

And it can happen incredibly fast now, I can't promise you how fast it's going to happen.

Depends on how much time you put into it, how much concentration you'll see, that I talk about in the putting drills, it's really a concentration drill.

As much as anything, To learn how to start to feel these little nuances of getting your core to rock your shoulders.

And coordinating that with the feeling that you get in your right hand and your fingers of your right hand to start.

How you release the putter, face and all those details are in that video.

Once you have that, you will start to have a foundation that you can build on incredibly fast.

So as an example, again, I'm not making any promises on time.

Everybody's going to be different.

But that wedge swing to get it that close to Tigers, and I promise you when we started, it was not that close.

It was reasonable, but it wasn't that close.

It took two days of Craig and I working together.

Two days.

That's it.

Now, how did we get it done that fast?

One.

You have to video your swing, you, you, absolutely, it's non-negotiable, you have to video.

And I even I'm going to make this really simple because I'm, I'm just.

I'm giving Amazon a lot of business for no reason here.

But here's a tripod and phone holder.

It's like 20 bucks.

You have no excuses not to video your swing.

Now you can swing 20 bucks to get this silly little tripod with a little phone holder.

Because you absolutely have got to pay attention to the the details, the micro details that we start to show you in these videos.

So all I did for two days for maybe, I don't know, Craig would probably remember maybe two or three hours a day.

I took my wedge swing from where it was to nearly identical to tigers in two days, within two or three hours a day.

By understanding how to start to engage my core, checking what we were doing on videos.

But the big thing You really need a second set of eyes if you're not being super, super detailed about it.

And even I, quite frankly, There's probably nobody on earth that is more anal and detailed oriented about the golf swing than I am.

And I needed a second set of eyes.

So get a second set of eyes if you can, you know, post your video underneath the, we'll try and look at them in the forums or underneath the putting video.

Just go on there.

video your swing real quick, post it up there and say, hey, is this close or not?

And if you're not sure, then take a lesson.

And Craig, since he's on here, Craig has been very kind to be willing to share with us his time and his experience.

1000 So I'm gonna put out, Craig's willing to 1001 offer you guys half off for a month for 1002 his URG.

So it's like $3.

50 a day.

You 1003 can get a golf lesson every single day 1004 with Craig.

1005 Now, unfortunately, there's a limited 1006 number of spaces.

Because this is Craig's 1007 time, right?

So I can't promise you how 1008 many of you can.

There's way more of you 1009 in this, uh session than there are spots 1010 available in Craig's group.

So if you 1011 want to join it, click that now so that 1012 you can get in there to make sure you get 1013 Craig's time.

But the reality is, if you 1014 go through it exactly detailed and you 1015 video and you check yourself, you will 1016 start to see the little nuances and how 1017 important they are.

1018 Because they're everything.

But if you're 1019 not sure, have Craig, take a look at it.

1020 Submit a swing for review or join us URG.

1021 So that you can just be in there every 1022 single day and just be like, Okay.

I just 1023 want to make sure I got this putting 1024 right.

Because again, in two hours, your 1025 putting will change radically.

In two 1026 hours, your chipping will change 1027 dramatically.

Your wedge play all of it, 1028 But you just need to make sure you're 1029 paying attention to the details, and if 1030 you're not that detail oriented, 1031 Craig, who I call Rotary Swing Rain Man, 1032 because he knows every single video I've 1033 ever done.

And he's also extremely anal 1034 about making sure that you do all the 1035 stuff right, because he understands the 1036 importance of it.

You have to make sure 1037 you're doing these little things right.

1038 So I'll leave that up there for a little 1039 bit.

And you guys can close that if it's 1040 in your way.

But I think there's only 1041 like 20 spots open in his group.

So you 1042 need to get in.

Maybe there's 30.

I can't 1043 remember.

But you need to click that 1044 pretty quickly to be able to get in 1045 there.

1046 Now, 1047 How do we start this process, this 1048 journey?

How do we get you there?

Well, I 1049 wanna take some of you up on stage now.

1050 So if you've got a camera set up and 1051 you're ready to jump on, you want some 1052 help, I wanna start to work with you guys 1053 on these little movements at first.

Now, 1054 I'll take each one of you wherever you're 1055 at.

If you wanna work on the putting 1056 stuff or the chipping stuff, if you 1057 already have gone through some of that, 1058 we can work on that as well.

Or we can 1059 work on the full swing stuff.

But I wanna 1060 start to get some details so you guys can 1061 start to see how.

how to start correcting 1062 these things in your own swing.

So who 1063 would like to come up on stage and get a 1064 little bit of help?

1065 Caden, I think that was.

1066 That looks pretty darn good now.

I can 1067 only see mostly your lower half.

Um, is 1068 it possible for you to tilt the camera up 1069 a little more, a little more?

Yeah, yeah, 1070 there we go, like that.

Yep, that'll 1071 work, all right.

Cool 1072 as a golfer, boys, that's how it's done.

1073 So, Caden, tell me, you said you just 1074 started, uh, being able to engage your 1075 core.

Tell me more about what that feels 1076 like to you, because you did it 1077 beautifully.

Yeah, so okay, can you still 1078 hear me?

Yep, 1079 Yeah.

Okay.

I know some of you couldn't 1080 hear him.

I could hear him well enough.

1081 So let me explain to you what he was just 1082 saying there, because it's very, very 1083 important.

1084 So he was saying that he was setting up 1085 kind of like what I talked about at the 1086 beginning with, you know, kind of 1087 sticking the rear out and popping the 1088 chest up.

And he started having back 1089 pain.

If you have back pain in your golf 1090 swing, that's the first place to look.

I 1091 promise you.

1092 I mean, I can't tell you, at least in the 1093 past week.

1094 at least 90% of the golfers that I saw 1095 sat up like that to the ball.

And they 1096 all said, oh, I got a little bit of sore 1097 back.

Well, of course, our back's not 1098 designed to be in that spot.

So the whole 1099 job of your core, apart from holding your 1100 guts in, is to protect your lower back.

1101 And so what you'll find is that once you 1102 start to do exactly what he just said 1103 there, he said he kind of like pulled his 1104 belly in, which kind of tucked his hips 1105 under a little bit.

And then he kind of 1106 did like a little sit up with his upper 1107 body.

And now, as soon as you do that, 1108 That alone gets your arms to start to 1109 hang so that they can swing freely and be 1110 swung freely by your core, which is, 1111 again, what I was demonstrating with that 1112 medicine ball.

That is a huge, huge 1113 piece.

And once you get this setup right, 1114 then he started to be able to get, he 1115 noticed that he felt something underneath 1116 his right scapula, his right shoulder 1117 blade, because now that's where you're 1118 going to start to load up as your core 1119 begins to wind up.

and your trail arm 1120 begins to load up against your spine, 1121 your scapula does, you're now in a 1122 position where as you fire your core, 1123 that moves your arm very fast.

And you 1124 saw Caden had great speed there, and it 1125 was absolutely synced up perfectly.

He 1126 doesn't have to try and wait on his arms 1127 or do anything like that.

The only way 1128 you've got to wait on your arms is if you 1129 start swinging them crazily in the 1130 backswing.

He had a very core-driven 1131 backswing because he set up well, and 1132 then a core-driven downswing, and then 1133 his arms.

1134 are just moving like this medicine ball.

1135 This feeling of this and this is what 1136 Tiger's doing.

It's what I'm feeling to 1137 swing like Tiger, essentially, with this 1138 right hand control.

Now, Caden, have you 1139 had a chance to do any of the putting or 1140 chipping stuff?

I'm just curious.

1141 Yeah, I have.

What did you find with 1142 that?

1143 So for me, for the putting, 1144 I do a lot more hinge and hold.

Now, the 1145 posture and the setup is the same thing.

1146 And then also, 1147 to demonstrate, I'm here too.

1148 So I'm using my right here.

1149 Yep.

Yep.

Perfect.

So I know you guys 1150 probably couldn't hear him that well 1151 there, but in the putting video, you're 1152 going to see how it's, you know, you, 1153 your posture is so incredibly important 1154 to your putting stroke.

1155 And so what he felt once he's there is 1156 just a little bit of hinge and then you 1157 can hold it off.

And I, and I talk about 1158 that in the putting videos about how you 1159 want to release the putter.

You can 1160 release it more of an unhinging motion or 1161 a hinge and hold.

Both are perfectly 1162 fine.

But the trick is it's keeping that 1163 club face very, very stable and very 1164 quiet because, again, you're not moving 1165 your hands.

I know a lot of people I had 1166 somebody this week is like, man, I just 1167 got over the yips and now you're telling 1168 me to use my right hand.

I get the fear 1169 of that.

The yips is really using your 1170 right arm and hand independent of your 1171 core.

Every time I've seen somebody with 1172 the yips, I've never seen them use their 1173 core.

It's they're using their arms and 1174 hands and flinching at it.

But once you 1175 get a feeling, what Caden is 1176 demonstrating there is he kind of feels 1177 like the putter is kind of doing this.

1178 Now, it's not quite that synced up, of 1179 course, But you kind of want to feel that 1180 the butt of the putter is kind of always 1181 pointing at the center of your body.

And 1182 as I hinge my wrist back, it does that.

1183 If I don't let my wrist hinge, I just 1184 took it back, 1185 the butt of the club would be pointing 1186 off to the right.

So that's why you want 1187 to feel a little hinge and unhinge.

And 1188 you'll see in the video that I use.

1189 Of the clips of Tiger, he's really 1190 unhinging his wrist, hinging it and 1191 unhinging it back, and that's what's 1192 keeping that putter face very, very 1193 square.

And there's no question that as 1194 far as clutch, four, eight, ten footers 1195 for par, that's not only.

Anybody on the 1196 planet's made more than that guy.

So 1197 Cadent dude, you've got a great swing, it 1198 looks fantastic.

You are a terrible 1199 example because you didn't do anything 1200 wrong.

So I gotta let you go.

All right, 1201 cool, all right.

great job, man.

1202 Okay.

Mark, I just talked about the core 1203 activation on the downswing.

It's how 1204 you're throwing that ball.

You need to 1205 watch that medicine ball video and that 1206 will help you feel.

You've got to throw 1207 that ball against a wall and you will 1208 absolutely use your core on the 1209 downswing.

All right.

1210 Who wants to come up next?

1211 Jayden.

1212 Jayden, can you post on here real quick 1213 and I can just click your name?

1214 There we go.

Now I can hear you.

1215 All right.

Sorry, man.

1216 Usually works just fine.

All right.

1217 Can you guys hear me okay?

1218 Yep.

Hearing perfect.

1219 All right.

1220 Yeah.

I'm just going to give this the 1221 easiest thing of all time in the world 1222 and you can tell me how bad it is.

Okay.

1223 All righty.

1224 That looks really good.

Actually, really 1225 good.

You had a little bit of, and I 1226 think it's probably just trying to kind 1227 of maybe do too much with the forward 1228 press.

You kind of let your hips kind of 1229 move a little bit there, I think.

1230 Yeah, you were saying, you know, it all 1231 should be moving, and you want to create 1232 the rebound effect.

Yeah, it's just a 1233 little too much.

1234 Yeah, all right.

1235 Yeah, that looks really good.

Really 1236 good.

Can you try one with both hands?

1237 Yeah, how?

How has your accuracy been 1238 doing it with just your right hand?

Um, 1239 pretty good.

I haven't gotten to the to 1240 the Tees yet because I haven't had a 1241 place to go.

But you can also use like 1242 two balls I showed on there, just like in 1243 between the putter.

1244 Yeah, that looks really good, man.

Really 1245 good.

1246 So the thing that you.

Go ahead.

1247 What's that?

1248 Go ahead.

I have one question for you 1249 when you're done.

Go ahead.

Well, I was 1250 just going to say, this looks really, 1251 really good.

I would love to see you take 1252 some time to work on the tee drill or 1253 just, you know, like I said, just use two 1254 balls.

If you, you know, if you can't get 1255 to a place where you can stick tees in 1256 the ground, this works, you know, all the 1257 same difference.

So just kind of get that 1258 same feeling.

1259 But your stroke looks really, really 1260 good.

So I think, you know, once you kind 1261 of go through that T drill and you really 1262 get the precision, the really, it's 1263 really kind of like fine tuning your 1264 motor skills.

It's really getting your 1265 nervous system understand, 1266 you know, getting a sense of that club 1267 face all the time.

But, you know, you 1268 look like you're pretty close to being 1269 ready to make work, move on your 1270 chipping.

So what was your question?

1271 My question really is about the right 1272 hand.

1273 in that part of the release, I kind of 1274 feel, and again, this is all feel, that 1275 when I get to here, It's almost like that 1276 these two fingers are the part that are 1277 going through, and that's the thing 1278 that's holding the clubface square.

1279 And I don't know that given what I've 1280 seen in the videos and some of the other 1281 goat stuff, if that basically is too low 1282 in my hand for that feeling, because I 1283 know there's supposed to be some pressure 1284 in this.

trigger finger, if you will.

1285 So you say you felt it in your middle two 1286 fingers?

1287 I feel like if I'm controlling that club 1288 face, those middle two fingers in my hand 1289 are kind of leading the way.

1290 A hundred percent.

That's exactly what 1291 you want.

1292 Okay.

1293 Yeah.

When I get to, you know, the next 1294 phase, it feels like that's going to 1295 leave the club face open somehow, but 1296 maybe I'm wrong.

So the trick to that.

Is 1297 understanding how you you rock with your 1298 core back and let the wrist hinge and 1299 unhinge on the way through.

It feels like 1300 the putter face essentially never really 1301 opens, and so the only way that it would 1302 be open.

As you're releasing is if you 1303 started to kind of move your arm, like 1304 shoving it down the line.

But if your 1305 core is engaged in rocking back and 1306 forth, the putter face will release.

But 1307 it's more of an unhinge than a rotation.

1308 But you do want to allow that little hit 1309 to happen in the stroke, and you will 1310 feel that in your middle two fingers.

1311 Absolutely.

That's exactly what you want.

1312 Okay.

And then one last question.

Yeah.

1313 I know that you've talked a lot about the 1314 right shoulder and that side bend, 1315 allowing you to keep the club face square 1316 for longer.

1317 Is that an okay feel to have that right 1318 shoulder follow or not?

1319 Sure.

Absolutely.

Now, obviously, in the 1320 putting stroke, it's just.

That is 1321 happening, it's just way less right.

1322 We're.

We're not generating a lot of 1323 power, and so when you start to generate 1324 power and your core engages, that will 1325 start to create side bend.

But we just 1326 don't have that much force, you know, 1327 maybe in a longer putt, you might.

But as 1328 you move into chipping, you will start to 1329 feel that that right side kind of starts 1330 to contract and go down.

And that's how 1331 you're going to be able to chip with one 1332 hand, very, very accurately.

1333 So you'll start to kind of feel that 1334 right shoulder going down a little bit 1335 more as you start to go to bigger 1336 strokes.

1337 Okay.

Well, hey, man, I've been around 1338 since 08.

Oh, wow.

The forum days.

1339 Wow.

1340 I'm really, really interested to see how 1341 this all plays out for me in the next 1342 four to six weeks.

1343 Well, if you can, I'd love for you to 1344 post some videos underneath each one of 1345 the videos in the new series, so I can 1346 take a look as you're going through.

If 1347 you've got any questions, you get stuck 1348 on something, and then I can kind of 1349 watch your progression as you go through.

1350 It'd be really helpful.

1351 Yeah, love to do it.

And shout out to 1352 Craig.

1353 Craig's the one that does my monthly or 1354 semi-monthly or whatever reviews, and 1355 he's awesome.

So he's doing a great job.

1356 If anybody's thinking about joining 1357 Craig, you should.

1358 Yeah.

He's a keeper.

That's for sure.

We 1359 get a lot of those from him.

1360 Awesome.

Thank you.

1361 Hey, thanks, Chuck.

1362 You bet.

All right.

1363 Who'd like to come up next?

1364 Another David.

All right.

You were quick.

1365 I see there's a few more spots left in 1366 Craig's group.

If you guys still have 1367 that link there, if you want that.

1368 I can post a link here real quick.

Uh, I 1369 think I can post it in here.

Oh yeah, if 1370 you don't have it up on the screen, I'll 1371 post it in the chat real quick.

Okay, 1372 David, you should have a request for your 1373 camera and your microphone.

Yep, Craig's 1374 working.

I made him work hard on me this 1375 week.

He's probably sick of hearing me, 1376 Craig, why is this club still going 1377 inside?

Why is it not perfect here?

1378 We got her dialed in.

1379 All right, David, just a microphone.

1380 I'll send a request again for your 1381 microphone.

1382 Do you see that there?

1383 Hi, Tracy.

It's half off for this first 1384 month, so it's $113 for the month, about 1385 $3.

50 a day or so for a month's worth of 1386 lessons.

1387 All right, there we go.

I can hear you.

1388 Hi, Chuck.

How are you?

Great setup.

1389 I'm David in Arizona.

1390 109 degrees right now.

Get out of here.

1391 Oh, my gosh.

1392 I got my first review yesterday from 1393 Craig and played today and just hitting 1394 some balls while this was going on, and 1395 it's never used a core, I guess, and it 1396 feels wonderful.

1397 Awesome.

1398 Can you see it?

1399 Yep, perfect.

1400 A couple more for me.

1401 Awesome.

Okay, so I got it there.

So 1402 what's happening here, this is going to 1403 be super helpful for you to get a 1404 medicine ball.

Or if you don't have a 1405 medicine ball, grab your impact bag, 1406 something just with some mass to it.

1407 Because the thing that's missing in your 1408 golf swing is the idea of sinking the 1409 arms with the core.

Because what you just 1410 did there was kind of an arm swing.

And 1411 so you will never make a full shoulder 1412 turn when you don't do that, when you 1413 don't engage your core.

So you've got to 1414 feel immediately and again it.

When you 1415 look at on camera, it doesn't look like 1416 much, but that core.

Doing that gets you 1417 a full shoulder turn, And I can do it 1418 with my arms only at nine.

1419 And so if you have a ball and you go back 1420 and you practice throwing, and I would 1421 like for you to actually take a step with 1422 your left foot.

1423 Yep.

1424 Okay.

1425 Really good.

Now you'll notice, I want 1426 you to practice your, you're doing what I 1427 would call a push.

So you are pushing the 1428 ball through.

1429 instead of throwing it with rotational 1430 force.

When you throw it with rotational 1431 force, your right foot should go back.

1432 And I want you to exaggerate that.

So as 1433 you're going forward, take a step and 1434 throw and let your right foot go back and 1435 you'll have more velocity with your core.

1436 I did order the bulge a little bit ago 1437 and it won't be delivered for over a 1438 week.

So we'll be using one of the 1439 handles.

1440 Yeah, the handles help a ton, especially 1441 because then you can also, you can.

1442 For those of you who, uh, picking up a 1443 ball audio is kind of weird there, okay, 1444 the one with the handles you can throw 1445 with one hand.

Why is that going funky?

1446 Is that my mic?

I'm not sure.

uh, sounds 1447 funky, huh?

Can you guys still hear me?

1448 Okay?

1449 Let me mute his.

Oh, I think it's gone.

1450 Okay, did that fix the microphone?

I 1451 muted his microphone there.

You guys 1452 still.

Okay, I think that fixed it.

1453 Okay, perfect.

So yeah, something just 1454 went funky there.

So with the ball with 1455 the handles, you can throw it.

Sorry, 1456 David, I had to turn your mic off there.

1457 Something went funky.

But with the 1458 handle, you can go back with just your 1459 trail arm.

And throw.

And then start 1460 getting a feel of how strong and how firm 1461 you need to be posted up on this left 1462 leg.

That'll be a big change because you 1463 tend to hang back and then you kind of 1464 pivot like this.

And you want to be able, 1465 that's why I wanted to take a step.

So 1466 you go back, take a step and throw.

And 1467 this thing's got to be like a tank.

It's 1468 got to really brace up so that you have 1469 that stability for your core to pivot on.

1470 So when you get a ball, you can practice 1471 with your right hand or just your trial 1472 hand only.

And that will help you start 1473 to feel that motion of bracing on this 1474 lead leg and getting this trail foot to 1475 go back behind.

You will be very, very 1476 important.

Does that make sense?

David?

1477 I'm not sure if can you hear me?

okay, 1478 Hey, David, I'm not sure if you can hear 1479 me, but we're getting some bad audio, so 1480 I'm going to have to remove you here.

1481 Sorry.

1482 Sorry about that.

1483 Okay.

1484 I'm not sure what happened with his mic 1485 there.

Anybody else want to come up and 1486 get some help?

1487 Do one more before we sign off.

I know 1488 it's late for a lot of you guys on the 1489 East Coast.

Anybody else need any help?

1490 Tommy was first.

1491 All right, David, how are you?

1492 I'm good.

How are you?

Good.

What do we 1493 got?

1494 I'll have to work on the setup.

1495 Okay.

1496 Make sure the core gets activated like it 1497 should be.

1498 Okay.

1499 Is that good?

Yep.

Perfect.

1500 Okay.

1501 Yeah.

Your core looks good there.

Yeah.

1502 It looks great.

Yeah.

Perfect.

1503 Everything there looks great.

You say you 1504 move off the ball too much.

Is that what 1505 you said?

Yes, sir, yeah, so so, moving 1506 off the ball.

Like, once you grab 1507 something heavy, like a medicine ball, 1508 you know, what you'll find is that it's.

1509 The only way that you're really going to 1510 move off the ball is when you try to 1511 really move from your shoulders, from 1512 your upper body, or you try to move from 1513 your arms.

Once you start to move from 1514 your core, because it's truly moving from 1515 the center of your mass, 1516 there's just no way to really move off 1517 the ball.

So once you start swinging your 1518 arms with your core, you can see that my 1519 head, if anything, actually wants to go 1520 forward to start the swing.

And this is 1521 something I talk about in the chipping 1522 video.

When you start to see.

you know, 1523 during the, when we do the both hands 1524 chipping, That Tiger's head starts to 1525 actually move forward, to start the 1526 stroke, and then actually kind of moves 1527 back in the downswing.

1528 When you're using something like a 1529 medicine ball and you start, I like to 1530 personally practice hinged forward a lot.

1531 It's kind of how I wake up my body in the 1532 morning.

So I'll actually start like way 1533 bent over.

Now from here, as I use my 1534 core, I'm just starting to wake 1535 everything up, but I'm also feeling that 1536 centered rotation.

So you can see my 1537 head's not going to move off the ball.

As 1538 soon as I try to move with my arms or 1539 hands, that's the only way you're going 1540 to start moving off the ball.

So now that 1541 you've got a great engagement of your 1542 core at setup, You want to grab something 1543 with some mass and start rocking it back 1544 and forth and feeling these muscles 1545 working in your body.

1546 Okay.

1547 You got any other questions for me?

1548 Awesome.

Yeah.

Setup looks great, man.

1549 Thank you for your help.

1550 You betcha.

1551 Okay.

So I saw one question on there.

I 1552 think it was JR.

1553 So like, where do you start?

So there's a 1554 couple of things I want to share with you 1555 guys.

1556 The videos on there right now are laid 1557 out in a very specific sequence, but 1558 we're getting ready to update something.

1559 because the site is way too big now.

It's 1560 got way too much stuff on there.

And that 1561 was another part of this is going through 1562 and getting your feedback as you work 1563 through this is to go through it in a 1564 truly linear order, so that you get, so 1565 you're not overwhelmed, right?

Like, 1566 there's so much information on the site 1567 and the site's 20 years old now, and I've 1568 done thousands of videos.

And so now I 1569 want to take this time to clean it up and 1570 just get right to the.

Right to the the, 1571 you know, the meat of the issue, the 1572 important stuff.

And then have a truly 1573 step-by-step process that absolutely 1574 works and gives results for everybody.

1575 And so if you go through it in that exact 1576 sequence that it is now, like I said, the 1577 putting's in there, there's a specific 1578 sequence that we go through, the putting, 1579 there's a specific sequence you go 1580 through chipping.

We're doing the wedge 1581 stuff now, as you just saw that Craig and 1582 I were working on.

And then the the wedge 1583 play, the iron play, the driver.

All of 1584 that stuff is going to be coming online 1585 soon, but go through it in that order 1586 now.

The only thing that's a little bit 1587 possibly out of order right now is the 1588 core activation stuff.

There's four core 1589 activation videos on there, But I put 1590 them a little bit lower because at first 1591 you don't need to feel it a whole lot in 1592 your putting stroke, of course.

But for 1593 those of you who are still going out and 1594 playing and you're wanting to kind of get 1595 this feeling in your golf swing, you go 1596 through those core activation videos and 1597 start to feel there's one very important.

1598 The first one is a chair drill.

And this 1599 is how you're going to start to feel 1600 torque in your golf swing.

Instead, you 1601 start creating rotational torque from 1602 your core.

Is learning how to move in 1603 that chair drill?

So if you go through 1604 that, then the next one's a medicine ball 1605 drill.

The next one is more of a speed 1606 development drill of a slam ball, which 1607 is like a medicine ball.

But it's it's 1608 softer, it's filled with sand so you can 1609 slam it against the ground, it doesn't 1610 break or doesn't bounce up, hit in the 1611 face.

And the last one is my personal 1612 favorite, which is a heavy bag, a 1613 punching bag, 1614 The heavy bag to me personally, And I 1615 know this is one of those things that 1616 very few of you probably have access to 1617 and probably have never thrown a punch.

1618 I love hitting a heavy bag, but to me 1619 personally, it is the closest thing to 1620 what I feel in my golf swing.

When I'm 1621 hitting an iron shot, I feel like I'm 1622 making a punch into my heavy bag just 1623 like this.

And interestingly enough, I 1624 found an old quote in Tiger's old book, 1625 the one he wrote.

Gazillion years ago, 25 1626 years ago, uh, about.

He feels like when 1627 he's getting ready to hit, once he's in 1628 that delivery area, that he feels like 1629 he's, uh, getting ready to throw an upper 1630 punch, uppercut punch.

And so it's 1631 interesting that Tiger's always been so 1632 trail side dominant, and, you know, for 1633 lots of different reasons.

That's what 1634 Earl taught him how to do.

And it's such 1635 a similar feeling to generating power, 1636 because when you punch, you don't push 1637 and punch like this, there's no power 1638 there.

You rotate and then you use your 1639 core to drive your hand and arm.

it's not 1640 a hand and arm movement by itself, 1641 there's no power.

So for me, that's my 1642 favorite one, so I put that in there.

For 1643 those of you who are overachievers and 1644 really want to feel how much power you 1645 can really start to generate from your 1646 core.

That is the most powerful feeling 1647 in the world.

To me is hitting that thing 1648 as hard as I can.

So.

1649 Anyway, I hope you guys found this really 1650 helpful.

It sounds like you did.

It 1651 sounds like we'll do this again maybe 1652 next week if this is helpful.

And if you 1653 guys take the time to post, video your 1654 swing, even if it's just putting, just 1655 post it up there.

1656 You'll realize that we'll catch just 1657 little tiny things.

It'll make your life 1658 so much easier.

You'll pick up things so 1659 much faster.

So just post it under the 1660 videos.

Get a swing review this week.

If 1661 you haven't joined Craig's URG, take a 1662 look at that.

And I'll try to answer a 1663 few more questions before we.

Go here.

1664 Great.

What if we are old with weak core 1665 muscles?

Great question, Greg.

This is 1666 your best friend.

If you're old and weak 1667 core, which many of us have let our cores 1668 kind of fall apart, we can rebuild them.

1669 It doesn't take much.

And it's not, 1670 again, 1671 not asking you to be like a gorilla in 1672 the gym.

1673 To strengthen your core, it's really 1674 about engagement.

Now, of course, to 1675 strengthen it is going to give you more 1676 power.

It's going to give you more 1677 velocity.

But if it's weak, You're going 1678 to have to cheat and you're going to have 1679 to compensate and use your arms and hands 1680 and so on.

But strengthen that core.

1681 Start working.

I do sit ups.

I do sit.

1682 You know, it's kind of funny.

Sit ups are 1683 kind of like bastardized in the fitness 1684 industry.

Like, oh, I do crunches or 1685 whatever.

I do 100 sit ups on an incline 1686 bench every single day.

It's just part of 1687 my life.

It's part of my routine.

1688 100 sit ups is not that big of a deal.

I 1689 do them sets of 25.

It takes me five 1690 minutes.

That's all you need to do.

You 1691 can just do sit-ups and you will start to 1692 be able to feel your core.

1693 Do we still throw from the top?

1694 Absolutely.

It's like throwing a punch.

1695 The trick is when I started talking to 1696 people about throwing, they started 1697 throwing.

1698 That's not a throw to me.

A throw to me 1699 is my whole body's involved.

And so while 1700 I was hoping.

That that throwing motion 1701 and it did.

This is again what this is.

1702 The the challenge of doing what I do is 1703 that some of you picked it up right away.

1704 And we had, you know, golfers go from 230 1705 yards to 320 yards off the tee.

And they 1706 were in their 60s and 70s.

But not 1707 everybody got that because not everybody 1708 knows how to throw.

And so that's why I 1709 had to, like, back it down and like, 1710 okay, if I just if I had to get.

My wife, 1711 who's never played golf in her life, 1712 is not an athlete.

And I had to get her 1713 to be able to play properly.

What would I 1714 do?

What sequence would I walk her 1715 through?

And this is it.

And I'm actually 1716 going to do this with her.

She doesn't 1717 play golf.

She's never played golf, but 1718 I'm going to walk her through this exact 1719 same sequence.

So we're going to kind of 1720 get to see this with somebody who knows 1721 nothing about golf and nothing about, you 1722 know, athleticism whatsoever to walk them 1723 through step-by-step how to do this.

I 1724 still am absolutely throwing from the 1725 top, but I'm also.

Throwing with my core, 1726 because that's how I would throw.

Uh, 1727 Mary, you talked about bowing your trail 1728 rescue, Uh, Mary, that was just an 1729 exaggeration.

Definitely, you know, you 1730 can't actually do that in your swing, uh?

1731 And I will probably refine that Goat 1732 drill, I want more feedback from you guys 1733 again, I put that Goat drill out there 1734 and again.

I took the RSA guys and half 1735 of them did great with it and half of 1736 them needed more.

And so again, that's 1737 like, I can't do.

I wish I could just do 1738 one simple thing that everybody would get 1739 perfectly.

And that's what I've been 1740 trying to do with the axiom and the dead 1741 drill and the goat drill.

But the reality 1742 is we all need to just take a little bit 1743 more time.

We'll go a little slower at 1744 the beginning and we'll get there faster 1745 at the end.

1746 Thank you, John.

I'm glad this helped.

1747 It's kind of wild that, you know.

1748 This throwing motion again works great 1749 for so many people, but not everybody.

So 1750 any other questions that I can Try and 1751 answer before we go that you guys get on 1752 with your how to get under the ball 1753 better.

I'm not sure what you mean by 1754 that Do you have to change your putting 1755 Craig.

No, Craig's a great putter.

You 1756 definitely know how to change your 1757 putting.

And even if you don't want to go 1758 through that putting drill, you could 1759 skip it and go to the chipping thing.

1760 It's probably going to be a little bit 1761 harder because it's way easier to learn 1762 how to control that clubface with the 1763 smaller swings, the smaller steps.

But 1764 you don't have to change your putting, 1765 but you do need to start training your 1766 nervous system to control that right 1767 hand, which, Craig, you probably already 1768 know how to do that very well because 1769 you've been playing forever.

1770 What does the release feel like with the 1771 core involved?

1772 I'm not sure exactly what you're saying 1773 there, but if you could kind of elaborate 1774 on that, I'll try and answer that a 1775 little bit more.

1776 You know, again, the best way that I can 1777 describe the release is like throwing a 1778 medicine ball.

That to me is very much 1779 like a release or throwing a punch.

That 1780 to me is what I feel.

And then, of 1781 course, my right hand is just releasing 1782 through with it.

But I'm not exactly sure 1783 how else to answer that.

1784 What about arm lock putting?

I don't do 1785 that.

I couldn't help you with that.

1786 That's definitely not what we're doing 1787 here.

I'm not saying it's bad or wrong or 1788 whatever.

But you're not going to get the 1789 feel of how to control the putter face 1790 with the right hand or the club face.

1791 Because the putter face, The way you feel 1792 the control of releasing the putter face 1793 is just the same way you feel how you 1794 release the driver.

They're the same.

1795 Let's see.

If I'm loading my right glute, 1796 am I doing it right?

Not necessarily.

1797 If you get a chance, post a quick video 1798 of you throwing the medicine ball, and 1799 we'll be able to help you there on the 1800 site.

1801 Continue to come over the top of the 1802 ball.

You need to get lower and under it.

1803 Aim more for the ground.

1804 If you're coming over the top, it's 1805 because you're using your arms and hands 1806 to try and slap at the ball.

1807 What you need to feel is your core 1808 bringing the club up, and you can see my 1809 arms end up.

Perfectly on plane, this 1810 was literally just my arms being swung up 1811 by my core and then as I use my core to 1812 unwind.

There's no way for that club to 1813 come over the top, so the only way to 1814 come over the top is by actively using 1815 your arms.

So you really need to get a 1816 feel of your core, swinging your arms 1817 instead of your arms, kind of controlling 1818 your body, that's the right way to fix 1819 that.

Awesome Alan, That's great.

1820 Uh, did you say?

Driver?

Yeah, so the 1821 whole sequence of this, John is going to 1822 be putting chipping wedge play, iron play 1823 driver.

So that'll be like the final 1824 culmination.

But we've got to kind of go 1825 through these things step by step.

How do 1826 I get my hands over my thigh into GDP?

1827 Sometimes my hands get behind my thigh 1828 and I hit pulls.

Getting into GDP is 1829 again, it's a core driven thing, So if I 1830 use my core to go back and I use my core 1831 to come down, my arms get moved into GDP.

1832 If they're back here, You probably swung 1833 them back too far and they're late coming 1834 in because your body's out running them.

1835 So it's just a matter, again, of learning 1836 to use your core.

And this is why it's so 1837 important to start small because, you 1838 know, I can do this move and go back and 1839 my arms end up in the same spot every 1840 single time.

1841 You're probably not going to do that yet 1842 until you've had some experience with 1843 truly getting the sensation and the feel 1844 of using your core to truly move your 1845 arms.

1846 All right, guys.

So it seems like we got 1847 everybody's questions answered.

So again, 1848 take some time this week.

Video your 1849 swing.

Get it to Craig.

Get it to 1850 Anthony.

1851 Put it in the UH on the site underneath 1852 the videos if you want just like a quick 1853 look.

If you want an actual lesson, uh, 1854 you can use it.

Craig's URG Group, but 1855 otherwise, uh, if this.

You guys find 1856 this helpful.

And if you post some stuff 1857 this week, it gives me, uh, ideas for 1858 things to want to share with you next 1859 week.

So, uh, if you take the time to 1860 share that in the forum, it'd be really 1861 helpful.

I hope you guys enjoy the rest 1862 of your Labor Day weekend and I will see 1863 you next week.

Probably.

You're welcome, 1864 you're welcome, you guys 1865 Stepped on my camera.

1866 You're welcome.

1867 You guys are welcome.

Yeah, thank you for 1868 saying thank you.

I appreciate it.

1869 All right, guys, I'm going to go ahead 1870 and sign off.

You will get a replay of 1871 this.

It should be emailed to you.

So if 1872 you missed something, you can catch that.

1873 Otherwise, I will see you guys.

1874 very soon.
