Webinar 2: Core Power & Putting

In webinar 2, we discuss the Core Power video and how to grip the club properly so you can drain any putt inside of 5 feet.

---

Who here has gotten some putting reps in this week?

Anybody getting their trail hand putting or got both hands back on the club?

How's it going?

Anybody share any experiences before we get jamming here going good, working great, awesome, love to hear it better.

The drill is a little tough.

Yeah, we're going to talk about it, we're going to talk about the whole picture tonight, we're going to talk about power, the video that I I just put out earlier.

But we're going to talk about the whole sequence of things and why we do these things the way that we do.

Having trouble with the T drill?

Yep, that's normal, all right, six But what I want to do first is explain the entire sequence, Give you a quick overview of what everything is that you're doing and why you're doing it, and how it's going to help you.

Because the putting drill at first seems pretty innocuous until you try it.

And then I'm sure everybody that's gone on and tried this has been like, whoa, wait a second.

And then they get three to 500 reps.

That's what I keep seeing over and over again.

There's something magic about that two to three hour mark, three to 500 reps.

And then all of a sudden you're like, oh my gosh, I should just putt with one hand.

How many of you guys have thought that so far?

Like, okay, I don't need my left hand anymore.

I'm just going to putt with my right hand.

I know I thought about that at first too.

And what's been interesting to me is that learning how right hand dominant Tiger is, has kind of been.

a shocker even for me, for somebody who studied his swing for more than two decades and heard him talk about his swing.

But it's only really in more recent years that he's been more open about talking and sharing things about his game.

And he talks incessantly about his right hand.

And you kind of wonder how much of that is feel versus real.

And, you know, he's been doing the same thing since he's five years old.

So, you know, how much can how much is he even really is he aware of what he's doing?

But as I've gone through and started creating this program and working on my students in person, with it and online, it's been amazing to me to see the transformation for every single part of the game.

And that's what this program is really all about, is getting you from the shortest shots to the longest shots.

But you have to build in this core fundamental of learning how to control this with this.

And that is what a lot of you guys are experiencing at first is like, wait a second.

I can't hit this ball to save my life.

And then again, you get that two to three hours in and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm actually like a really good putter.

For the first time in my life, I'm actually a very confident putter, which I have never been in my entire life.

And now I'm like, gosh, I should have just done this a long time ago.

It's almost feels wrong.

You know, for somebody like me, Who's been a lead side dominant player their entire lives and looked at guys like Ernie Els and Vijay Singh as, you know.

Beautiful looking, effortless golf swings.

But Tiger's always just done it different, that's why he's always looked so different and his drills have always been different.

They've always been right -handed.

And it's just so interesting to see how that breeds into every part of the game.

And that's what we're going to talk about now.

So the first thing that you're going to experience is a little bit of a challenge out of the gate.

To learn how to putt with your trail hand seems really strange at first.

And then you're going to put the left hand on there and it's going to seem like you're starting over again.

You're going to feel like, I just want to chop this thing off because I became really good with just one hand.

Why can't I just play golf one -handed?

But what you're going to find is that once you put the left hand on there, that you're going to then start to have to move your body.

And if you don't put that left hand on there, you can kind of just slap at it with your arm, which is not the goal, but it's okay at first just to kind of use your arm and hand for little strokes, just to get a feel of controlling that club face.

Because that's what this first phase is about, is learning how to know exactly, Precisely where this is pointing, And to train this hand and this brain, to connect the dots, to know where that's pointing at all times.

So then when you start putting both hands on there, you then have to start using your whole body, and that's what's going to lead you into the chipping phase.

Because if you can't start moving your body correctly and in sync, and still have the same feeling of controlling the club, face with your hand.

Then you're not going to be able to do it at full speed with a, you know, a driver in your hands.

Of course, if you can't do it at five miles an hour, you can't do it 105 miles an hour.

So that's really what you're trying to do is get that first step of just controlling that clubface to truly have control over it with that hand.

And then as you move into chipping and you start moving your body, you're still wanting to control that clubface with your hand, but you're now progressing your skill set to have to start to move your body, but in a really small stroke so that we're not overwhelming our brains and saying like, okay, I've got to go swing as fast as I can with my driver here.

It's impossible to go from, you know, like I always used to say, like from the parking lot to the Indy 500.

Everybody goes through the same process of learning.

And this just breaks it down, But gives you a really accelerated on-ramp that makes sense that you're training this hand and your body to work together.

So once you get into the chipping phase, you're going to find the same thing.

You're going to be a really good chipper with your right hand only, your trail hand.

And then you're going to put that left hand on there.

And it's just like, what the heck?

I keep closing the club face down.

It's going to start teaching you something.

It's going to teach you clubface awareness.

It's going to teach you when you start smothering it with your shoulders.

And those types of things are invaluable lessons that you're going to learn in chipping.

Once you go to pitching, now the game is really ramped up.

Now you're going to have to start to set your wrist.

The main difference between chipping and pitching is it's just not much wrist set if you want to make it really, really simple.

Once we go to pitching, though, we have to start setting our wrist.

The club has to start working up on plane.

You can't do that without wrist set.

And learning how to set your wrist properly is going to be a big challenge, which is why I put that little bag drill in there.

And then you've got to start videoing yourself to see, because almost everybody that we see yanks the club inside.

And then the game's over.

There's no recovery from there.

So once you learn how to start setting your wrist and moving your body and controlling that face, now you're making a big leap.

forward into what's gonna lead into wedge play.

Before we get to wedge play, what you're gonna do next in your pitching is learning how to compress the ball.

And compressing the ball is the name of the game for me.

You guys know I'm obsessed with ball striking.

It's always been the best part of my game.

I love smashing the ball.

And so many people never get a feeling of a properly, purely struck, purely compressed golf ball.

And you're gonna actually learn that.

In the second phase of this program, with learning how to compress the ball.

And I've got a set of fundamentals that I'm walking you through.

I'm working on the video, literally, as we speak, that is going to walk you through exactly how to start.

Compressing the ball with only a 10-yard pitch shot, Yep.

You pitch, you compress the ball on a 10 yard pitch shot.

If you're not, and you're just slapping at it, you don't feel compression on the ball.

You don't feel a really good solid strike.

You're not pitching the ball properly, but you will, because you're going to learn how to have shaffling.

And the trick to this is learning how to use your right hand, your trail hand is key to getting shaffling the way that Tiger does.

So I've got a whole set of fundamentals.

I'm going to walk you through there.

Once you learn how to compress the ball.

With your pitch shots, then we're going to start moving into wedge play, we're starting to make bigger swings.

But we have to learn the fundamentals of of where our pressure is.

This angle of the wrist, how we feel it, how we set the wrist in the backswing, how we set up to the ball.

All of these things are very, very important and we need to learn them in small strokes.

So that it's again.

It's not like, you know, going from the parking lot to the Indy 500 after you just learned how to drive a car.

Once you have your wedge play and then you're going to start to be able, it's all these, all of these things are going to start bleeding into your full swing, but.

You're not really ready until you can compress the ball and get into a proper impact position with a delofted club shaft.

We're looking for 10 degrees of shaft, 8 to 10 degrees of shaft lean.

We'll do 10 to 13 in the pitching stroke.

But I've got all of these things documented for you, so you don't have to remember any of this stuff.

But you're going to work through that.

And then once you get to the pitching stuff, you get to the wedge play.

As we start working into iron play, it becomes very important to learn to use your core, to learn to feel how to use your trail hand to control that club.

Face.

And that's something that's going to be.

We're going to emphasize a little bit more things on the grip that we didn't talk about in the beginning video.

Because I want to kind of, like, give you things as you go down the road that start to make more sense in context.

Just teaching somebody like the perfect grip, it's kind of always the thing I.

I struggled with with Hogan's book.

I love Hogan's book.

And it starts with the grip.

But it's out of context.

Because if I have a perfect grip.

But I don't know how to do anything, it doesn't really translate over to stuff, so I like to kind of give you a structure for it, the basics of the grip.

But then as we get into really controlling the ball with your irons.

You're going to learn how much pressure you need to put on this lead hand thumb and how you need to grip it in order to be able to set your wrist.

Because if you don't put pressure on this lead hand thumb and your hand's not positioned on there correctly, it's impossible to get to this position.

So those are the things that you're going to start to learn as you go into iron play.

And then as we move into the driver, That's where all the money is made.

That's where you're going to really understand how to generate power from your core.

And that's this video that I just put out is helping you understand what does power really feel like in the golf swing?

Because from a lead side dominant swing to a trail side dominant swing, they are worlds apart.

I mean, wildly different.

And I didn't always think that.

I always thought Tiger Swing was relatively similar, but the way that he was generating power is wildly different.

And it really is.

The cool thing about it is it's a very natural athletic motion if you've done any other sports whatsoever.

But I feel like personally the way that if the best sporting movement for me, that I feel.

Apart from throwing the medicine ball is a punch, which I know.

Not everybody has got a heavy bag and is out there practicing boxing, but If you get a chance to learn how to punch properly with a heavy bag, you will learn how to use your core to transfer energy to your hand.

And that was one of the questions I kept getting all of the time is, you know, I don't know.

I don't understand how this moves this.

And that's what you have to feel and experience for yourself by throwing these medicine balls, by throwing a punch or doing anything else that's in that similar motion.

Because the sequence, the kinematic sequence is the same.

So what I want to do tonight, now that you kind of got an overview of the kind of big picture program, I want to see if any of you have any questions on power.

And then we're going to go back a step and we're going to talk about putting a little bit.

Because I know a lot of people are going through that first phase of putting.

You have any questions about that power video?

Uh?

And if you want to, if you've, if you want to, kind of, like, come up on stage to get some help with something.

We can do that too.

But go ahead and post any questions you have in the comments in the chat real quick, and I'll answer those before.

We talk about putting a little bit more in depth.

Okay, so I'm gonna back up here just a sec.

Craig was talking about players getting into extension with spine, leaving arms trapped behind.

So If that's what you're talking about, Casey, if your arms are getting stuck behind your body, it's because your body is outrunning everything and it's not being moved correctly.

If you were throwing a punch, You wouldn't punch like this and then have your arm way back here and then try to throw it back in there.

That's what a lot of people try to do with their golf swing, especially if you're coming from a lead side dominant pattern.

It's really common to want to pull with that left side.

And if you pull with that left side, your arms will always kind of get left behind if you didn't set them up correctly in the backswing.

So what you've got to realize is that in a trail side pattern, there's no real pulling involved.

In fact, any pulling will kind of do exactly what you said.

You'll kind of get stuck and your arms will get trapped back here behind your chest.

The club will come in late.

And especially with the driver, you're going to hit a big block.

hook or block, you know, push, push out to the left or right, depending on which your left hand or right hand.

So what you've got to start to realize is that as you're going back.

And that what's really helpful with that medicine ball feel is that your core is moving your arms back.

But the biggest thing is really just not yanking down that club with your lead side.

If you do that, it's going to always get your arms stuck like that.

And so with your trail side, again, I can't emphasize enough how much Tiger Swing is really controlled by his right hand, and really, very little involvement with the left side of his body.

Much at all.

And so as he's going back, as he's loading this up, This is getting ready to drive to be able to fire that arm.

But there's no way that my arms would get stuck if I'm moving from here.

There's no way.

Only way they're gonna get stuck is if I start pulling from here.

And then as soon as I do that, I got that Olay move, but if I'm focusing on accelerating my trail hand with the trail side of my body, my arms will always get brought right back down in front of my body.

Is it correct to push into the left leg, to push the left hip, back and right in order to swing the arms through?

I think I understand what you're saying, Frank.

So in that chair video, I talked about kind of how your feet, like as a right -handed golfer, your left foot's kind of doing this while your right foot's doing this in the backswing.

If you rotate powerfully from your core, that will happen naturally.

It's not something you have to think about.

And I keep seeing all these guys with these training aids to like slide your foot forward.

And then I watched a lot of the adverts for, like, better players on there and they're showing them how to do that.

And all of them look befuddled.

They're like, that doesn't feel like a golf swing to me.

That's because it's not.

It's a very bad band-aid training aid, in my opinion, because there's no way that that's going to feel natural to you.

This will.

And all that's going to happen is I turn this really fast.

I'm naturally going to push with my foot.

I don't have to think about that.

I don't have to try to do that.

If I move from my core, that should happen naturally.

Tommy, having problems finishing.

I don't really know what that means.

Every time somebody says they have problems finishing, they're just typically slapping at the ball with their arms.

So I think that that's probably what you're describing.

Is your trail arm about 90 degrees to your chest at the top of your swing?

Yep, it's pretty close to that.

It's going to get a little bit deeper, but that's the gist of it.

Okay, we'll come back to the putting stuff in a moment.

Let me just make sure to read through these questions.

Stop trying to cross the line at the top or right-hand dominance help.

Tom, if you haven't, you really need to pick one or the other.

And go with that and work through the program rather than trying to fix a single fault and then saying, is this pathway going to fix that or not?

It absolutely will fix it, but you can't kind of, this is not a Band-Aid program, I guess is what I'm saying.

You really have to work the system.

And I'm going to explain why as we start talking about putting.

Casey, okay, Casey, good.

I'm glad I answered that.

I throw left hand if I play racket sports in that.

Jim, you'd have to kind of work through trying both to know which is best for you.

For me, they both work.

I love them both.

But you might get some help with an instructor to take a look at your swing and see if they can kind of guide you down the right path for you.

Yep, still throwing.

We'll talk about that as we move through the program.

It seems like club lags way behind when using core so hard.

It shouldn't.

And we'll talk about that.

So we're going to start the downswing using our core.

Simply needs to be loaded up.

If it's loaded up, you're not going to have any choice.

You know, the way that your core, if your core isn't firing automatically in the downswing, then it probably didn't get loaded up and you probably didn't turn deep enough.

When I see that most people don't.

They're looking for some triggers for their downswing.

It's always because this isn't loaded up.

And if this is kind of not loaded up because you didn't really turn and get deep into that hip to let your core move back.

Like I showed one of the boxing videos of the girl who was punching left hand.

And when she threw with power with her left hand, her left hip went deeper.

And then she would be able to punch with more power.

And then the last punch didn't go as deep.

It's really about loading that up.

So if I load this up, I don't have to.

All I'm thinking about is taking my arm and my hand and moving it as fast as I can with this part of my body.

But if this doesn't get loaded up in the backswing, then it's not going to fire in the downswing.

How do you get a GTP and delivering the club?

It seems like I'm using too much right arm as the club is bottoming out a bit early.

Yep.

David, that's what this program is for.

The reality is most people can't just take.

A piece of like the GDP position, as I showed every single great player on the planet all arrives at that position.

But most of those players also learn from the greenback Tiger, especially Hogan.

All of these guys were big fans of learning how to putt and chip first.

And quite frankly, I was never a big fan of that methodology.

I just kind of want to get straight to the point.

But I also tend to have a little bit more athleticism than the average person, having been a professional athlete for 40 or.

however many years, 20 something years.

So I have good body awareness.

So I can kind of pick something up and do something really quickly, but not everybody has that.

And so if you don't have that experience of doing things, it's hard to go through it.

And that's where, and even for me, as all of the things that I've done in my life, Going back to learning how to putt properly has completely changed everything that I think about in terms of how I learn and how I play the game.

And by doing that, you don't have these big gaps in your knowledge.

Because going from, okay, I'm swinging however, and I've never seen your swing, but whatever you're swinging like, to getting into a proper position like the greatest players of all time, it's probably not going to happen.

And the reason it's not going to happen is that you don't understand the importance and the feel of this.

And that's what we're going to talk about.

So I'm going to go ahead and jump in here.

because I want to talk to you about how to learn how to use this putter properly, because there was a chipping question as well, and these things are all tied together.

This GDP position starts right here, right now.

If you don't have this feeling of your elbow pit staying out during the stroke, you will not be able to do it in a full swing.

It's just happening way too fast and you won't understand the feeling for it.

And that's the most important thing, and perhaps the most difficult thing to convey from one person to the next is the feeling, because feeling is so relative to everybody.

But you can all learn it properly in these miniature strokes and understand how it's going to carry over, as I'll show in just a moment, because this is the hardest thing because it's completely unnatural, in my opinion.

And it's the one thing that all the greats did.

And Tiger especially, he's always been in this perfect delivery position every single time, and I wanted to get in that same perfect position.

And I found it difficult just going from the parking lot to full speed because I want to do this, you know, maybe not to that degree, of course.

But I still kind of want to start adding a little bit of shoulder protraction or rotation pronation.

Because I also have a very dominant left side of my body that's been trained how to hit a golf ball for 30 something years.

So I tend to kind of want to pull with this.

The moment I start pulling with my left hand, my right shoulder protracts, and the moment this shoulder starts protracting, this arm starts pronating.

And then everything goes to hell in a hand basket immediately.

And if you don't understand that, and you don't understand what it feels like to have this kind of leverage in your swing, then you're never going to be able to translate it to full power.

And so that's what we're going to talk about first is how to get this feeling in your putter, because this is the easiest club in the bag.

This is the shortest stroke, but the stroke mechanics and the delivery is still the same.

So the simplest way that I believe to feel this and start getting used to this is again with this medicine ball, with the handle that we've been talking about, because it's easy for me to get my hand out this way.

And start feeling like I'm hitting the ball with this part of the ball.

This is how you have to feel that you're delivering the club and this is not natural.

Everybody wants to go overhand and I don't believe Tiger Swing.

It's obviously not an overhand motion at all, it's an underhand motion and almost more of like an underhand side hand, Hammer, fist, if you will.

I kind of imagine the way that I'm striking the ball is with this part of my hand, like the back side of my palm.

Now, of course it's turned like this, right?

But it doesn't, this rotation doesn't happen until very late in the stroke.

And it's something that's happening wickedly fast and very late.

And so you don't really have to try and let this thing happen.

What you have to try and do is keep this thing from happening effectively.

I'm not saying deliberately hold it, but that's kind of the gist of it.

Because once you start understanding the reason that, one of the reasons The Tiger has always been such a phenomenal clutch putter.

I mean, who have we ever seen that's made more 10, 15, 20-footers for par than that guy under pressure?

Nobody's ever been that good at getting up and down from jail, from hitting a horrible shot, and then having this 20 -footer with three-footer break, and he just drained them left and right.

And he didn't wiggle them in.

He was sinking them in the center of the cup.

So my belief as to why he was so successful with that trail hand was that he was always able to keep the toe from turning over.

Now, it's not that the toe doesn't turn over and release.

It does.

But what you're going to feel is that it doesn't.

And that's the whole trick to this.

And once you start learning this motion, which is a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's going to be less than you think, as we'll see.

This motion of keeping this arm.

down, supinated, this elbow put out, the palm feeling out, feeling like you're leading with the back of your hand, what is going to happen to that putter face through the strike?

It's going to stay very straight and very constant.

Where you're going to start running into trouble, and if you're hitting putts that you're pulling, is the moment you start releasing that.

Now again, of course the club is going to release, but that is happening so late in the swing.

So when you start looking at Pitch shots and chip shots, Tiger's always got a lot of shaffling, even on these little shots.

Now, how do you get this much shaffling, which is the whole key to compressing the ball properly?

It's bringing this arm in like this.

And the moment you do this and you put a club in your hand, look at how much shaffling I have.

And it's this feeling that you have to learn or nothing's going to work right.

And again, because this to me is such an awkward feeling.

compared to this, which is what I want to do.

It's what everybody wants to do.

We want to pronate and start twisting that screwdriver over.

And you can't do that because the club face is going to shut down on you.

You're going to start casting the club.

The moment you start pronation, look what happens to my wrist angle.

And pronation, again, just for those that aren't familiar, internal rotation.

So taking my thumb and rotating it towards the center of my body.

The moment I start pronating, the club starts releasing.

Holding it like this, now look at the difference.

All the differences there is keeping my arm supinated or pronated.

If you want lag and leverage and shaft lean and compression, You have to get used to this feeling of driving that club face down the target without it ever releasing.

And if you looked at the chipping videos and the pitching videos, and I show Tiger doing those one-handed chips or pitches, he's holding the club face like this.

Now, once you put the left hand on there, it's gonna turn over a little bit more.

But what he's trying to groove is this feeling of that club face always being effectively dead square through the hitting area.

And again, in a full swing, it's such an unnatural, awkward thing until you start to understand how to get there.

And the way that you're going to start to get there is by understanding this feeling in a smaller stroke.

So for those of you that are working on your putting, that is the biggest thing that you've got to get.

Into this feeling, and again, with just your trail hand on there, it's not that difficult to do, but if you're used to wanting to do this at all.

And flipping that club face over, it's a very unnatural feeling, but your aim is to try and keep that club face square through the strike as long as possible.

And that's it, and the moment you have that feeling of this arm no longer wanting to go like this.

You've got it.

And that's when you're ready to start chipping, and that's when you're ready to start pitching.

And you're going to challenge that feeling a little bit more.

But if I had to pick one thing, that is the most important thing in a trail side pattern to get right, it's this.

This little chevron that you see down my arm and looks like it's kind of like a little flying V here.

I'm trying to maintain that as long as I can.

And that's why the grip is so important, because if your grip's not strong enough, what's going to happen to that club face is it comes down into the delivery area, it's going to be wide open.

If you're hitting chip shots and they're going higher than what you saw me hitting on there on those videos.

Your grip is too weak.

A strong grip is critical for you being able to maintain that drive through the shot with your trail side as long as possible.

Without that club face rotating over.

So, any questions on that?

I'm going to, John had asked a couple more questions in here.

How much pressure should I expect while doing it?

You're going to have a fair amount of grip pressure with trail hand only.

That's normal.

It's a big picture.

We are not trying to release the club where the right hand rolls over.

Yeah.

So the putter face or the club face will roll over.

You won't be able to stop that.

But the feeling is that you're doing this as long as I can.

Because look at that club face.

It's dead square, but man, is it delofted.

And the only way I get there is with this.

As soon as this starts going this way, my wrist angle goes away.

So your feeling is maintaining this.

And that's what you're learning in these chip shots is how to keep that strike through there.

And then the pitch shot, it's going to start releasing a little bit more.

And the full swing, it's going to start releasing more as you move faster.

What if you use the claw?

I don't.

I can't help you with that.

There's a specific way that I'm teaching this for a specific reason.

If you use the claw, I'm not sure how you're going to learn this.

I have an oversized grip in my putter.

Yeah, so oversized grip, that's a really common thing nowadays.

I have a putter with an oversized grip, and then I have the same one that Tiger uses, the old faithful.

Basically, peeing grip, I have found that with the thicker grip putter, which I used to like before, I became very, very trail hand dominant.

I don't like it now.

I like the smaller little grip.

And feeling the club in my fingers more because I'm getting all my sense of feel from my trail hand now.

And so If you're using a thicker grip, it will be a little bit more challenging.

And again, there's a reason that tigers always use standard equipment, like old school stuff, because this gives you such a better feeling of that clubface in your trail hand.

Let me back up here.

I feel like I'm going to keep that position.

I block it bad.

Your grip is probably too weak.

Chuck, could you go over right hand grip again?

Uh, on the putter.

is that what you're asking about?

Putter?

Okay, so yeah, let me walk through the putter.

So again, this is my normal gamer putter, and you know, it's got just the thin taper, standard old school ping grip.

And the main thing that I'm working on with my trail hand is I've always kind of been like a weaker hand putter, too.

So I'm working on getting that hand a little bit stronger.

Because then as I go to The Goal with this, When you start getting into pitching and shipping, and you start really measuring your accuracy and consistency, the goal is, and the next video is going to show this, But you're going to be able to hit your pitch shots with a six degree wedge and get them to land in like a three foot circle every single time.

You can't do that if that club face is changing on every shot.

And you can't do that if you don't set your wrist in a very simple way.

And that's what I'm wanting you to learn in this part of this.

Program is that, if you can simply feel that your wrist just hinges and unhinges and there's no rotation, pronation by maintaining that supination, then the putter face is coming through the same way every single time.

And it's just a hinge.

So by having the stronger grip, when I say stronger, you can have the thumb down the shaft if you like, because it's still going to help you to hinge.

I like to have as minimal face rotation as I can.

And so, and you can see Tiger has changed throughout the years.

He's done both.

He's had a weaker hand where the thumb's more down the shaft.

He's had it stronger.

Find a point that's comfortable for you.

But the goal is just this.

If I can set my wrist and grip the club in a way that I could just hinge and unhinge.

Then golf just became a thousand times easier, because golf is really hard when your hands are doing this.

I mean, who can time that?

But that's what every single golfer on the planet does.

When you look at the rate of closure of an amateur golfer's club face through the ball, it's about on average, the typical over-the-top slicer is 1200 degrees per second.

That's how fast that clubface is closing through the strike.

Now, that doesn't mean anything until you put it in context of what a good tour pro ball striker is.

They're about 250 degrees per second.

So think about that for a second.

The average amateur who's got a weak grip and is swinging over the top is closing 1,000 degrees per second closer through the strike.

The only way that you can have the consistency that a Tour Pro does is by holding this through the shot as long as humanly possible.

And as you're doing that and you're just letting that wrist primarily unhinge, and of course it is going to rotate over too.

You can't stop that because the club's being swung on an inclined plane.

But the more you feel this, then you all of a sudden, you don't have a high rate of closure of that club face.

And that's, again, What you're trying to learn with the putter is how do I hinge and unhinge so that that putter face isn't doing this like a door.

That's way too hard to time.

It's simply doing this like a flapper.

that's a better way to think about it.

And then as you go to your full swing, if I do this and I drive through, well, of course my club face is super stable because I'm maintaining that supination, which allows me to maintain that wrist hinge.

Of course, it's going to start to unhinge.

And then now my club facing.

Oh, lost it for a second there.

Uh, let's see so that hopefully that covers the right hand.

Are there exercises?

Medicine ball develop that sharp on just what you're, you know, when you're throwing that medicine ball.

You just simply start working on leading with this.

Your elbow and your back of your palm.

That's it, that's that Chevron that's holding that club face dead square through the strike.

And as I'm using my core to do that, that will give me that feeling and that proper strike.

With supination, I had an attack of the shanks.

What could cause this?

You're using your arms.

You don't use your arms in the golf swing.

If you're shanking it and you're trying to maintain that supination, you're not using your body.

You're throwing your arm out at it.

Your arms don't do anything.

My core is moving my arms.

It's your wrist and your core, not your arms.

If you shank it, you're just shoving your arm out at it.

Discuss position of chest before during an after impact with GDP.

Oh, that's a big one just before.

Uh, so the chest I don't really think about per se.

I don't really care about it.

But, uh, essentially, as I go back, I'm really just focusing on turning my core and getting my hip deep.

So as I go back, My chest is obviously closing, but I really don't care about that.

I'm just trying to use my core to turn, and I'm setting my wrist.

And then as I come through, as my core begins to go back, and I'm driving this club back through, my chest is going to be squared impact, and then it's going to rotate through.

But I don't really think that chest is a good thing to think about, because it's really going to get you trying to use your shoulders too much.

Mallet putter is totally fine.

Let's see.

Yeah, pitching and chipping is a challenge with one hand.

It's all time and reps.

That's it.

And it's making attention.

If you're struggling with these chip shots one-handed, which most people will.

I think I literally said that in the video.

I went through the same thing where I was like, oh my gosh.

The reason it becomes unwieldy to chip is because your arm isn't connected to your core.

Your arm isn't connected to your core when it starts pronating.

You can feel this for yourself.

If you supinate your arm, wherever my core goes, my club and arms go.

When I pronate my arm, they're all disconnected.

And that's what's happening.

Most people that we see that, they've got a weak grip, their arms, elbow pits pointed like this.

And yeah, it's going to be really hard.

You do it properly.

Super, super simple.

What about if you use a reverse overlap grip?

Again.

If you start kind of deviating off on all these band-aid kind of things, I can't really help with that.

I mean, that's probably not going to be the worst thing in the world, but it's going to make you more left-hand dominant, which is a killer for this to swing like Tiger.

You cannot use your left hand like that.

Having trouble releasing the club.

I think I'm starting the downswing correct, but I have trouble stopping the turn and letting the hands continue on.

I'm not exactly sure what that means.

Maybe somebody can explain that a little bit more.

Just to turn on, I don't feel the core working.

However, as soon as I put my other hand on as well, yeah, that's normal.

Your arm can get a little disconnected when you're just swinging one hand only.

That's normal.

Oh, you're talking about putting stroke.

Sorry.

The reverse overlap for putting is perfectly fine.

I thought you were talking about chipping.

Clean.

If you're picking the ball, you can pick 1000 it clean, but if you're picking it too 1001 clean, you don't have enough shaft lean 1002 at impact.

And so you're losing that.

The 1003 reason you're not, if you're not hitting 1004 down on the ball and compressing it 1005 properly, this is happening.

The moment 1006 you start pronating, you lose that wrist 1007 angle.

If you want to hit down on the 1008 ball and have good compression on it and 1009 have shaft lean, you have to maintain 1010 that supination longer.

And so if you're 1011 just kind of picking it clean, this is 1012 happening.

I promise you.

1013 At GDP position, is it accurate to say 1014 the hips are open and chest still 1015 slightly closed?

Yep.

1016 Yeah, this was a wild experience for 1017 myself, Casey.

This is a big, big 1018 diversion for me.

1019 Fred, awesome.

Yeah, you should feel, if 1020 you put in those two to three hours, like 1021 if you look on the forums, 1022 Almost every time it's been two to 300 1023 reps or 300 to 500 reps.

That's about two 1024 to three hours, maybe four hours, depends 1025 on how long it's going to take you, maybe 1026 five hours.

But once you start doing 1027 that, you will be able to putt like 1028 you've never putted before.

1029 Yeah, I covered putting, I covered the 1030 ball position in the video, I think, but 1031 I'll just briefly mention it here again 1032 so we don't waste any time on.

1033 stuff that's covered on the videos, but 1034 the ball position is going to be forward.

1035 So if I'm setting up to my putter, this 1036 is how I look.

1037 And then as I forward press, I take a few 1038 degrees of loft off of it.

And then as I 1039 come through, the putter is coming 1040 slightly on an upstroke as I strike it.

1041 And that's why it needs to be in the 1042 upper part of your stance.

If you have it 1043 in the middle, you're going to hit down 1044 on it.

And as soon as you hit down on the 1045 putter, it bounces.

And so you lose a 1046 proper roll on the putter.

1047 Where do you start the release on full 1048 swing or throwing the club with the ball?

1049 It starts at the top.

But again, if you 1050 don't have these other fundamentals down, 1051 you're going to struggle with this.

So 1052 the reason I went back to square one is, 1053 again, I talked about this in the last 1054 webinar.

A lot of people were like, some 1055 people who played other sports, throwing 1056 sports, very athletic people, They took 1057 the throwing drill and did it perfectly 1058 right away because they already knew how 1059 to use their core.

But not everybody 1060 does.

1061 That's why you kind of have to go 1062 backwards.

If you're asking questions 1063 about like, when do I throw?

Then you 1064 don't understand how to use your core yet 1065 correctly, because those two things are 1066 synonymous.

If I, if I'm firing my core, 1067 then of course, I'm getting my hand to 1068 work in sync with that.

And I'm throwing 1069 it as hard as I can, as fast as I can, as 1070 soon as I want.

1071 But if you don't understand how to use 1072 your core, then you're questioning how to 1073 throw, then you're just probably using 1074 all arms.

And so you have to get a 1075 feeling of starting to work your core, 1076 which is why that's early on in the 1077 program.

So you're still throwing from 1078 the top, but if you throw from the top 1079 and don't fire your core, you're just 1080 going to cast it.

So that's why we kind 1081 of have to, I had to go find a way to go 1082 back, a few steps to get everybody on the 1083 right page to get there at the same time.

1084 When using my right hand, I have trouble 1085 with posting up compared to the feeling 1086 with the left hand.

It feels easier to 1087 post up.

1088 If you're just not using your core.

If 1089 you can't post up, you're not rotating 1090 correctly.

1091 Your post up on your lead leg, if you're 1092 not posting up, I promise you you're just 1093 pushing with your arm and shoulder.

And 1094 that's going to always make this leg stay 1095 bent.

If I do this, there's no choice but 1096 for my leg to straighten it.

It has to.

1097 And so you have to learn how to fire your 1098 core, and you're just shoving it with 1099 your right arm and hand and shoulder.

1100 Mary, I'm going to, I think a little bit 1101 of a question there.

1102 Setting your wrist at the top.

So it's 1103 not going to make sense until you start 1104 pitching.

1105 Once you start pitching, then setting 1106 your wrist is going to make sense.

1107 Because again, 1108 trying to get somebody to make a full 1109 swing, I've been teaching for a long, 1110 long time.

1111 And it's almost impossible for most 1112 people unless they have a lot of time to 1113 practice it.

But if I get you to learn 1114 how to set your wrist correctly on a 1115 pitch shot.

And how to control the 1116 clubface angle?

And then you can do it on 1117 a wedge shot, and then you can do it on a 1118 short iron and so on, and so on.

It's a 1119 thousand times easier, so don't try and 1120 skip things too much.

Now, I know, of 1121 course, A lot of people are still playing 1122 right and so are trying to get in a bunch 1123 of rounds before the end of the year.

And 1124 the reality is, you know, some of these 1125 things you'll be able to take to the 1126 course.

But other times, you're going to 1127 need to work through this over the coming 1128 once in the winter, just depending on how 1129 much time again, 1130 it's that three to five hundred rep.

1131 range is kind of the magic number for 1132 each piece of this program.

And so, but, 1133 and again, that's the same for everybody.

1134 It's just how our brains learn.

So as you 1135 start working through this, you're going 1136 to start finding that.

These things, how 1137 to set your wrist, how to maintain 1138 shaffling, all of that stuff will happen 1139 a thousand times easier as you start 1140 getting it piece by piece.

Well, Harold, 1141 you're, you got the good season coming up 1142 there?

1143 Yeah, if you're not posting up, I promise 1144 you it's all just, it's pushing with the 1145 shoulder and arm.

1146 So the big thing that I want you guys to 1147 start working on, if you're not already, 1148 is getting a feel for this.

1149 This and this.

And again, obviously my 1150 hand is not going to be this open at 1151 setup.

It's obviously going to be 1152 rotated.

But practicing like this and 1153 getting the feeling of kind of striking 1154 with the back of your hand, that's the 1155 golf swing.

1156 When you have this field, let me say, 1157 this is the golf hit.

This is Tiger's 1158 swing.

This is how he swings the club.

1159 When you start looking at his swing, 1160 you'll see that every single shot, no 1161 matter what it is, he's in that position.

1162 I'm going to show you just real quick of, 1163 let me share my screen real quick.

1164 And we'll take a look at, even in a basic 1165 chipping shot.

1166 So here's Tiger hitting like a spinner 1167 chip shot, right?

It's like, look at the 1168 club face angle.

1169 It's very open.

I'm hitting a chip shot 1170 here, but I've got the club face squared 1171 up.

But you're going to see just how much 1172 shaft lean he has on hitting a low 1173 spinning shot.

1174 Hinging the right wrist immediately, all 1175 right hand going back.

And then as he 1176 comes through, at the moment of truth, 1177 this is where the money is made.

This is 1178 what you have to learn how to do is to 1179 get this much.

About 10 to 12 to 13 1180 degrees of shaft, and depending on the 1181 shot, you're hitting at impact.

1182 When you have this, you can control the 1183 golf ball.

When you don't have this, you 1184 can't control the golf ball.

You have to 1185 have shaft lead.

And so as you're doing 1186 this, this next phase, you won't be able 1187 to get your hands into this position.

1188 without really having a good feel for 1189 supination.

Look at Tiger's right arm 1190 here.

Where's his elbow pit pointing?

1191 It's still basically straight at the 1192 camera.

This left arm is internally 1193 rotated.

I mean, It's still like, 1194 basically the exact same GDP position 1195 that I've been talking about, in the full 1196 swing, but doing it in a miniature stroke 1197 where it's much more manageable.

It's 1198 much easier to learn this.

And then look 1199 as he comes through the ball.

1200 I know it's blurry.

I apologize.

It's 1201 very hard, shockingly, to find good 1202 footage of Tiger chipping and pitching 1203 with good shutter speeds.

But you can see 1204 here, again, I hit a square face shot, so 1205 I'm not putting as much spin on it.

But 1206 you can see long after the ball is gone, 1207 I've still got several degrees of shaft 1208 lean here.

Tiger's is blurry, so it's 1209 changing.

But you get the idea.

We are 1210 holding off the release.

Watch my club 1211 face on the right coming through the 1212 ball.

1213 So as I hit down, my club's not going to 1214 bottom out until, 1215 right?

Well, it still hasn't bottomed out 1216 yet.

So if I was taking a divot here, I'd 1217 still be digging.

1218 But the club face is very, very square 1219 for a very, very long time.

There's 1220 minimal rotation there.

And that's what 1221 you have to learn.

Now look at Tiger's 1222 elbow put still at this point in 1223 relationship to his torso, to his entire 1224 body.

1225 That right arm is still.

1226 In that supinated position, 1227 90 degrees to his chest, elbow pit 1228 pointing up out and away.

1229 This is what you're trying to learn with 1230 each phase of this program is that with 1231 your, it starts here, supinated hinge and 1232 unhinge control that face.

I feel like as 1233 I'm coming through, my palm is always 1234 facing down the target line.

And then as 1235 I go to chip, My palm is always facing 1236 down the target line as I go to pitch, my 1237 palm is still facing down that target 1238 line.

But it is going to start to 1239 release.

There's too much momentum at 1240 some point, but that's what you're trying 1241 to learn to feel is this?

And so now you 1242 can see, my arm is still supinated, like 1243 I was showing of of Tiger there when we 1244 were looking at his pitching stroke.

It's 1245 still not here, it's still here.

That's 1246 what you have to learn.

1247 Show a close-up of left-hand putter grip.

1248 All right, so for me, I take stronger 1249 left hand.

I do reverse overlap with my 1250 left, and that would be my left hand.

I 1251 don't really care too much where it goes.

1252 I usually just kind of put it down the 1253 shaft.

I'm more concerned with my right 1254 than anything else.

1255 The shaft is a product of the move you're 1256 teaching, correct?

I mean, I don't need 1257 to make the shaft and happen as a result 1258 of the right arm position.

Yes, exactly.

1259 It's using your core to move your hand 1260 and your arm in this supinated position.

1261 I have shaft lean, 1262 right?

I'm not trying to do anything 1263 special.

I'm hinging my wrist as I go 1264 back.

My core is turning.

I start to fire 1265 my core.

I'm in supination.

1266 Core is continuing to drive through.

I've 1267 got all the shaft lean in the world.

1268 How does the face not stay open?

Because 1269 you have a proper grip.

1270 Club face is going to square up.

You're 1271 not going to be able to hold it like this 1272 forever.

First of all, it's going to be 1273 rotating.

It's still rotating here, 1274 whether you want it to or not.

You're 1275 really just trying to learn to not rotate 1276 it.

But if you have a proper grip, that 1277 club face is dead square.

And my hands 1278 are 12, 14, 15 degrees in front of that 1279 club face.

It's all about your grip.

1280 Did the strong grip and right elbow 1281 position feel strange to me?

It felt 1282 freaking terrible.

1283 I hated every second of it, if I'm 1284 honest.

From a lead side dominant 1285 position, most lead side dominant guys, 1286 our right arms are kind of like bent at a 1287 dress.

They're really relaxed.

Like there 1288 was a video of Vijay Singh just 1289 practicing this week.

And he's like, he's 1290 hitting ball drivers with just his left 1291 hand only.

1292 And, you know, when he puts his right 1293 hand back on there, he's talking about 1294 how he just does not want it to do 1295 anything.

1296 It's the antithesis.

That's why Vijay's 1297 swing and Tiger's swing look nothing 1298 alike.

So when you start getting into 1299 this, this was the most awkward thing in 1300 the world for me.

And it was terrible.

I 1301 was a horrible right-hand putter.

Now I 1302 actually feel like I'm actually a really, 1303 really good putter, which I've never 1304 felt.

And it's all because it's so much 1305 simpler.

I'm just doing this.

That putter 1306 face isn't changing.

I'm just maintaining 1307 that angle the whole way through until it 1308 eventually has to release.

And that's why 1309 Tiger's so damn good.

With every club in 1310 the bag, he's been the best iron player 1311 of all time because he hits it so 1312 consistently straight.

The only thing 1313 that really the Tiger throws himself into 1314 a whirlwind for, which is a catch-22, is 1315 he shapes the ball so much.

He curves the 1316 ball 30, 40 yards with the driver.

That's 1317 a lot.

I'm the antithesis of that.

I 1318 curve the ball three yards, and I'm 1319 upset.

I hit the ball as dead straight as 1320 I can on every time.

So I don't try and 1321 shape the ball, but my game is very low 1322 maintenance.

I don't practice very often.

1323 If I have to curve it, of course I can, 1324 but I don't try and do that.

I just 1325 generally like to hit the same shot over 1326 and over again.

I've always wondered what 1327 would Tiger have shot if instead of 1328 trying to hit these 30 yard cuts and 20 1329 yard cuts, if he just hit it straight 1330 like he did on the range all the time, 1331 how many tournaments would that guy want?

1332 But we'll never know.

1333 Yeah, Mark, Seve was very, very handsy 1334 guy.

1335 Wonderful short game player, obviously, 1336 I've never really studied his game that 1337 much, but, uh, relaxed arm, and it's not 1338 that your arms are tense, right?

Like 1339 this is an important thing to get, like, 1340 I'm not rock rigid, straight, but I'm not 1341 relaxed either.

There was a, uh, there 1342 was a video years ago.

Like when Tiger 1343 and Butch did the Golf Channel thing.

And 1344 Tiger talked about his grip pressure.

And 1345 that Butch Harman put this device on his 1346 putter 1347 that would beep every time Tiger gripped 1348 it too tight.

1349 And it drove Tiger crazy.

This is back in 1350 like 2000, right?

So right at the peak of 1351 his game.

1352 And at the time, he didn't say how hard 1353 he was gripping it, but he said he backed 1354 it down to like a five and a half or six.

1355 Five and a half or six.

That's still 1356 pretty firm.

And that's down from where 1357 he was when he won all those US amateurs 1358 and the masters.

1359 Remember in 97, this dude was holding 1360 that club like a 10 probably.

So the one 1361 thing that I've really changed, I gripped 1362 the club so much tighter with my right 1363 hand than I ever have in my life.

I've 1364 always been strong with the last three 1365 fingers of the left hand.

And then my 1366 right hand, middle two fingers are there, 1367 but they're not really doing anything.

1368 I'm the exact opposite now.

I grip that 1369 club pretty damn firm with my right hand 1370 because I don't want that club face to 1371 change.

I'm controlling this thing.

You 1372 can see, you watch Tiger's putting 1373 stroke.

When he hits a putt, you never 1374 see this.

1375 You see this.

1376 Right?

Long backstroke, short follow 1377 through.

You have to have a firm right 1378 hand.

You have to have control of that 1379 club.

And Tiger's a control freak.

And so 1380 you grip that club tight.

And that's 1381 what.

1382 Who was it?

Byron Nelson told Tiger the 1383 old story about Tiger, talking about grip 1384 pressure after the 97 Masters win.

The 1385 next year.

They do the Masters dinner.

1386 And all the guys are sitting around the 1387 table and they grab a knife and they 1388 start milking it.

And everybody's talking 1389 about their grip, pressure.

And all of 1390 them are like, Oh yeah.

I gripped the 1391 club towards, if it's just gonna like, 1392 fall out of my hands.

And and all of them 1393 are saying that.

And Tiger's like, Whoa?

1394 I gripped the club really tight.

And he's 1395 like, Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Although 1396 he just won the Masters, you know?

And 1397 Byron Nelson came up to him and said, 1398 Kid, you grip that club as tight as you 1399 can.

That, again, is complete blasphemy.

1400 For most golf instruction, and certainly 1401 for a lead side dominant pattern, you 1402 don't want that.

But in a trail side, I'm 1403 controlling that thing, I'm hitting the 1404 ball with my hand.

1405 And once you learn how to train this 1406 thing, by starting here first, you're 1407 going to start realizing that with your 1408 irons and your driver, you are hitting 1409 the ball with your hand.

And as long as 1410 your hand is in this position, you can 1411 hit that thing as hard as you want 1412 because the clubface is square.

You're 1413 not worrying about trying to time a 1414 release anymore.

But in order to take out 1415 that timing of the release, you have to 1416 learn how to control that clubface with 1417 your right hand.

Does that make sense?

1418 Any more questions on any of that stuff?

1419 No.

Oh, yeah.

So if you guys need help 1420 with this stuff, it's not complicated at 1421 all, but it's different.

1422 It's very foreign.

And so Craig is again, 1423 he's opened up a few more spots in his 1424 unlimited review group.

So if you guys 1425 want one on one help, You need a second 1426 set of eyes to speed this stuff up so 1427 that you don't understand little things 1428 you don't understand.

Like, why am I 1429 pulling this?

Why am I pushing?

Why am I 1430 hitting them fat?

Why am I shanking it?

1431 Craig is going to make your life a 1432 thousand times easier because if you go 1433 into his URG group, you can upload your 1434 swing every single day to him and say, 1435 hey, Craig, I just want to make sure I'm 1436 doing this right hand drill, right?

1437 Because it's only going to take a few 1438 hours to get to 300 reps.

And so you 1439 don't want to waste that time.

And so you 1440 want to make sure that you're doing these 1441 drills correctly.

And so if you're not 1442 sure and you have questions on it, then 1443 just.

And Craig's doing it for half off 1444 for a month.

So it's literally like $3.

50 1445 a day or something.

You can get a golf 1446 lesson from a top teacher for $3.

50 a 1447 day.

So that's what that link is on the 1448 screen there.

If you want help with it, 1449 Craig's going to be the guy to help you 1450 with all of this stuff.

1451 Do you try to obtain maximum core stretch 1452 in the back swing?

You can.

Yes, you do.

1453 But that's happening so fast that I 1454 wouldn't necessarily think about that.

1455 But you do need to stretch that core, of 1456 course.

1457 Does it rotate in the toe?

Yes, it does.

1458 And it's going to happen.

1459 You can't stop the release of the toe.

1460 It's just that you're feeling, you're 1461 learning that you're not trying to 1462 release it.

You're trying to essentially 1463 keep it from releasing until it has to.

1464 How do you feel that your right side is, 1465 I think that's supposed to be loaded.

1466 I feel like it's loaded, like I'm going 1467 to knock somebody out in a punching bag.

1468 That's how I feel.

1469 Is my core just staying engaged or is it 1470 actually moving when I'm putting?

It is 1471 moving.

It's a little bit.

1472 You know, this is, I did have this 1473 question a couple of times this week.

You 1474 know, I really just talked about the core 1475 kind of stabilizing, but it is moving, 1476 but it's, you know, when you're just 1477 learning how to control, my goal for you 1478 in this first phase is to learn how to 1479 control the club face, just the putter 1480 face.

And so I don't want you thinking 1481 about a bunch of core rotation and body 1482 turn, arm movement, all that stuff.

But 1483 yes, your core is gonna, especially as 1484 you get into a longer stroke.

There's 1485 going to be a little bit of weight shift.

1486 There's going to be a little bit of hip 1487 turn.

There's going to be more shoulder 1488 turn.

There's going to be a little bit of 1489 arm movement.

1490 All of that stuff is going to happen, but 1491 it's just not a whole heck of a lot at 1492 first.

1493 John, you're getting all the speed from a 1494 massive unhinge of your wrists.

1495 I've got all this leverage in my wrist.

1496 And as soon as I get rid of that, there's 1497 a ton of speed there.

And I'm using my 1498 very powerful core from the trail side of 1499 my body.

to drive that through as fast as 1500 I want.

That's where you're getting that 1501 snap of speed.

1502 Do you try and straighten your right arm 1503 at impact?

Definitely not.

I'm not trying 1504 to do anything with my right arm.

That is 1505 a death move.

It's how you're going to 1506 start shanking it.

So if you find 1507 yourself trying to straighten your right 1508 arm, guess what's going to happen to your 1509 right arm?

Not only is it going to drive 1510 the hosel into the ball, but you're going 1511 to start pronating.

And that's going to 1512 start closing the club face down.

So how 1513 do I avoid that?

I turn my core.

To move 1514 my arm.

And now, as I do this, I've got 1515 all the shaft lean.

My club face is 1516 already squared up, it's delofted and I 1517 can let it release.

And I've got all the 1518 power in the world.

You do not use your 1519 arms in the golf swing.

So again, the 1520 best thing that you can do, you have to 1521 start videoing yourself.

Because even 1522 though this looks really simple, 1523 Trust me, as somebody was talking about 1524 the tee drill earlier, they were 1525 struggling with the tee drill.

1526 That, when you do it right, will 1527 completely change your putting game and 1528 your confidence with the putter.

But you 1529 have to do it.

You've got to do it.

1530 You've got to video yourself.

Why are you 1531 hitting it fat?

I give you, or why are 1532 you hitting the tees?

I give you a few 1533 checkpoints in there.

But again, It's 1534 really just understanding how to hinge 1535 and unhinge this wrist and controlling 1536 that release of the face.

1537 Not doing a whole lot with your body is 1538 going to teach you how to be able to get 1539 through those T's.

1540 Is your checkpoint still how the 1541 shoulders be squared?

Yep, shoulders are 1542 still square.

1543 You're welcome, Christopher.

I appreciate 1544 you spending your Saturday night with me.

1545 It never passes the trail leg to impact.

1546 No, it's still going to pass it.

1547 Your trail leg as you're coming through.

1548 As I'm driving through my, my hands are 1549 definitely going to pass my trail leg.

1550 There'd be.

I wouldn't want to be like 1551 this.

Um, I just posted up a link from 1552 Amazon Kim Um, and I found one for 20 1553 bucks.

If you search for iPhone holder 1554 TriPod on Amazon, it'll pop up.

I don't 1555 have a link for it now.

Uh, the hinge and 1556 unhinge is just 1557 Again, it's so vital to have this proper 1558 grip.

Otherwise, it's not going to work.

1559 And I see a lot of grips like this.

And 1560 this is death.

1561 Here and here.

1562 Hinge and unhinge.

And this, again, it's 1563 really just about understanding how to 1564 think about it.

I like to think about it 1565 like where my fingernails are.

My 1566 fingernails are on top of the shaft.

And 1567 as I hinge and as I come through, I still 1568 want them to be on top of that shaft.

1569 When they start doing like this.

That's 1570 when I start losing that hinge.

1571 Somebody was able to post that link.

1572 Let me see your question here, Glenn.

1573 You're welcome, Mark.

I'm glad you guys 1574 found this helpful.

1575 As tight as you want.

Yeah, that's a 1576 simple way of thinking about it.

Now, of 1577 course, 1578 you know, 1579 tights.

Tight's a tricky one, right?

If I 1580 tell you to grip it tight.

I'm going to 1581 see a lot of people with capillaries 1582 being drained of blood.

There's a balance 1583 to this stuff, of course.

Grip it tight 1584 enough to control that thing so that you 1585 know exactly where that club face is 1586 pointing.

Every single time.

That's what 1587 you're trying to do, you're controlling 1588 the club face with your dominant hand.

1589 That's the secret to Tiger's game.

And 1590 when you start understanding how you're 1591 able to do that with that, you know the 1592 supinated arm, this GDP position.

Then 1593 everything starts to become really, 1594 really simple.

And you'll find that 1595 you'll settle into a grip pressure that's 1596 right for you.

Uh, covered in the ball 1597 with your upper body.

Yep, sure, if you 1598 want to hit it, knock it down.

1599 Absolutely.

So.

The takeaway, you talk 1600 about the left shoulder stuff.

That was 1601 something that all the goats talked 1602 about, 1603 Every single GOAT that I studied, Bobby 1604 Jones, Lee Trevino, Ben Hogan, they all 1605 talked about starting the club back with 1606 their left shoulder.

There's nothing 1607 wrong with that.

Obviously, they were 1608 phenomenal players, right?

1609 The difference is I just don't believe 1610 that's what Tiger does.

I don't believe 1611 that's what Tiger does at all.

I don't 1612 believe Tiger uses the left side of his 1613 body relatively hardly at all.

1614 And maybe that's why Tiger was Tiger.

You 1615 think about the jump he made.

1616 From where people were on the tour in the 1617 mid 90s.

And then he came in and was just 1618 like a phenomenally different wild level 1619 that we didn't even dream of.

That level 1620 of golf was possible.

I think a lot of it 1621 has to do with him being completely 1622 dominant, hand oriented and all of these 1623 other golfers.

Power wasn't that big of a 1624 deal in Hogan's era.

And Jones is there, 1625 Jones was playing with hickory shafts and 1626 gotta purchase balls and stuff, you know, 1627 like you didn't, you didn't have the 1628 equipment like we did until, like that 1629 didn't really arrive on the scene.

Until, 1630 like, the mid 2000s was when you started 1631 getting reasonable golf balls and 1632 reasonable driver heads.

Most of the good 1633 stuff was aftermarket stuff like that you 1634 got from the club builders, it really 1635 wasn't the OEM stuff unless you got a 1636 tour head.

But Tiger came in and 1637 completely changed that because he had so 1638 much more speed than everybody else.

And 1639 when you think about it, the golf swing 1640 before that time was, you know, very 1641 lead, side dominant, flowing, effortless 1642 kind of thing.

Because it was all about 1643 controlling a ball that spun like crazy.

1644 I grew up in that era with Persimmon 1645 Woods and a lot of balls, and it was just 1646 a completely different game.

If you tried 1647 to hit the ball hard, the ball just 1648 tended to spin and balloon up in the air.

1649 More so, power wasn't a thing.

Tiger 1650 completely transformed that.

And I 1651 believe he was perhaps the first real 1652 dominant player to be really trail hand 1653 dominant.

1654 I think Nicholas was also very trail hand 1655 dominant.

And Mike Austin was obviously 1656 very trail hand dominant.

There's other 1657 players, but Tiger just took it to an 1658 absolutely, completely different level.

1659 And I think that was a big reason why.

He 1660 was the most powerful player, apart from 1661 John Daly, for most of his younger part 1662 of his career.

1663 He was the second longest driver on the 1664 ball.

Yeah, we do need to.

I love the 1665 tour of a lot.

It's fun.

1666 Holding the grip tight.

Is that the 1667 putter?

I was taught to hold the club 1668 like you're holding the baby.

1669 Yeah, Sam Snead stuff, right?

1670 Again, Sam Snead and Tiger Woods didn't 1671 swing the same.

1672 So a lot of this stuff that is old adages 1673 that are quote unquote fundamentals of 1674 the golf game, they don't really apply to 1675 a trailside dominant swing, in my 1676 opinion.

I could be totally wrong, but 1677 I've matched Tiger's patterns pretty damn 1678 close, probably closer to anybody else on 1679 the planet.

And these are the things that 1680 I've had to do to match them.

And then 1681 when I started to really understand where 1682 it's coming from, it pretty much flies in 1683 the face of all conventional golf 1684 instruction.

What Tiger's doing is 1685 different than everybody else.

That's my 1686 opinion on it.

1687 All right, guys, any other questions?

So 1688 I think Craig's got like two more spots 1689 left after this in his group.

I'll have 1690 to check that again unless somebody drops 1691 out in the meantime.

But so if there's 1692 any more of you, I'll.

1693 highly recommend you jump in his group 1694 because he's very, very helpful with 1695 getting you guys to understand this stuff 1696 and get you to do it really quick.

Can 1697 you, if you had any, sorry, Onomi, I 1698 didn't see your other question.

If you 1699 could post it again real quick, I'll try 1700 to answer it before we sign off here.

1701 You're welcome, Mark.

You're welcome, 1702 guys.

1703 Yeah, send that video in.

1704 Save yourself trouble from practicing 1705 this stuff wrong.

Will the hinging motion 1706 with the putter apply to all clubs?

Yep, 1707 that's the whole point of doing it.

1708 Everything that we're doing, literally 1709 everything from the putter to the 1710 chipping clubs, the pitching clubs, to 1711 the irons, to the driver, they're all one 1712 fundamental, building on top of another 1713 fundamental, building on top of another 1714 one, building on top of another one.

1715 But we've got to learn this stuff in 1716 digestible pieces, right?

I can put you 1717 in a driver's swing right now, and are 1718 you going to be able to do this right?

1719 No.

But you can get it right in your 1720 putter, and then you're going to get it 1721 right chipping, and then you're going to 1722 get it right pitching, and then you're 1723 going to get it right with your wedges, 1724 and then you're going to get it right 1725 with your irons, and then it's going to 1726 come to the driver.

1727 You're welcome, David.

John, you guys are 1728 welcome.

I saw one question there real 1729 quick.

1730 We talk about the chipping at all 1731 tonight.

No, we already spent an hour on 1732 here.

It's a late Saturday night for most 1733 people, including me.

I'm usually in bed 1734 by eight.

1735 So we'll get out of here.

But oh, one 1736 other thing.

1737 I'm going to be out of town for the next 1738 week or two golfing up in Montana.

So I 1739 won't be able to do a.

1740 webinar next week.

I'm working on some 1741 more content in the meantime, But you 1742 guys have plenty of stuff to start 1743 working on over the next two weeks to get 1744 yourself ready because when we get back, 1745 I'm going to start working on pitching.

1746 So by the time that I get back, it's two 1747 weeks, you should be very competent 1748 putting with both hands.

You should be 1749 very competent chipping and you should be 1750 getting to the point where you're 1751 pitching.

1752 And if you're pitching properly, 1753 The next phase is going to be the part 1754 that's going to be life-changing.

Because 1755 that's where you're going to learn all 1756 the fundamentals of how to properly 1757 compress that golf ball on every single 1758 shot.

And you do compress the ball with 1759 your right hand, which is, again, 1760 very opposite of a lead side dominant 1761 swing.

The right hand's basically coming 1762 off.

You don't feel that you're actually 1763 hitting with your right hand, and this 1764 you do.

So you're going to need to get 1765 those reps in, and we'll see you guys in 1766 a couple weeks.
