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 it clean, but if you're picking it too clean, you don't have enough shaft lean at impact.
And so you're losing that.
The reason you're not, if you're not hitting down on the ball and compressing it properly, this is happening.
The moment you start pronating, you lose that wrist angle.
If you want to hit down on the ball and have good compression on it and have shaft lean, you have to maintain that supination longer.
And so if you're just kind of picking it clean, this is happening.
I promise you.
At GDP position, is it accurate to say the hips are open and chest still slightly closed?
Yep.
Yeah, this was a wild experience for myself, Casey.
This is a big, big diversion for me.
Fred, awesome.
Yeah, you should feel, if you put in those two to three hours, like if you look on the forums, Almost every time it's been two to 300 reps or 300 to 500 reps.
That's about two to three hours, maybe four hours, depends on how long it's going to take you, maybe five hours.
But once you start doing that, you will be able to putt like you've never putted before.
Yeah, I covered putting, I covered the ball position in the video, I think, but I'll just briefly mention it here again so we don't waste any time on.
stuff that's covered on the videos, but the ball position is going to be forward.
So if I'm setting up to my putter, this is how I look.
And then as I forward press, I take a few degrees of loft off of it.
And then as I come through, the putter is coming slightly on an upstroke as I strike it.
And that's why it needs to be in the upper part of your stance.
If you have it in the middle, you're going to hit down on it.
And as soon as you hit down on the putter, it bounces.
And so you lose a proper roll on the putter.
Where do you start the release on full swing or throwing the club with the ball?
It starts at the top.
But again, if you don't have these other fundamentals down, you're going to struggle with this.
So the reason I went back to square one is, again, I talked about this in the last webinar.
A lot of people were like, some people who played other sports, throwing sports, very athletic people, They took the throwing drill and did it perfectly right away because they already knew how to use their core.
But not everybody does.
That's why you kind of have to go backwards.
If you're asking questions about like, when do I throw?
Then you don't understand how to use your core yet correctly, because those two things are synonymous.
If I, if I'm firing my core, then of course, I'm getting my hand to work in sync with that.
And I'm throwing it as hard as I can, as fast as I can, as soon as I want.
But if you don't understand how to use your core, then you're questioning how to throw, then you're just probably using all arms.
And so you have to get a feeling of starting to work your core, which is why that's early on in the program.
So you're still throwing from the top, but if you throw from the top and don't fire your core, you're just going to cast it.
So that's why we kind of have to, I had to go find a way to go back, a few steps to get everybody on the right page to get there at the same time.
When using my right hand, I have trouble with posting up compared to the feeling with the left hand.
It feels easier to post up.
If you're just not using your core.
If you can't post up, you're not rotating correctly.
Your post up on your lead leg, if you're not posting up, I promise you you're just pushing with your arm and shoulder.
And that's going to always make this leg stay bent.
If I do this, there's no choice but for my leg to straighten it.
It has to.
And so you have to learn how to fire your core, and you're just shoving it with your right arm and hand and shoulder.
Mary, I'm going to, I think a little bit of a question there.
Setting your wrist at the top.
So it's not going to make sense until you start pitching.
Once you start pitching, then setting your wrist is going to make sense.
Because again, trying to get somebody to make a full swing, I've been teaching for a long, long time.
And it's almost impossible for most people unless they have a lot of time to practice it.
But if I get you to learn how to set your wrist correctly on a pitch shot.
And how to control the clubface angle?
And then you can do it on a wedge shot, and then you can do it on a short iron and so on, and so on.
It's a thousand times easier, so don't try and skip things too much.
Now, I know, of course, A lot of people are still playing right and so are trying to get in a bunch of rounds before the end of the year.
And the reality is, you know, some of these things you'll be able to take to the course.
But other times, you're going to need to work through this over the coming once in the winter, just depending on how much time again, it's that three to five hundred rep.
range is kind of the magic number for each piece of this program.
And so, but, and again, that's the same for everybody.
It's just how our brains learn.
So as you start working through this, you're going to start finding that.
These things, how to set your wrist, how to maintain shaffling, all of that stuff will happen a thousand times easier as you start getting it piece by piece.
Well, Harold, you're, you got the good season coming up there?
Yeah, if you're not posting up, I promise you it's all just, it's pushing with the shoulder and arm.
So the big thing that I want you guys to start working on, if you're not already, is getting a feel for this.
This and this.
And again, obviously my hand is not going to be this open at setup.
It's obviously going to be rotated.
But practicing like this and getting the feeling of kind of striking with the back of your hand, that's the golf swing.
When you have this field, let me say, this is the golf hit.
This is Tiger's swing.
This is how he swings the club.
When you start looking at his swing, you'll see that every single shot, no matter what it is, he's in that position.
I'm going to show you just real quick of, let me share my screen real quick.
And we'll take a look at, even in a basic chipping shot.
So here's Tiger hitting like a spinner chip shot, right?
It's like, look at the club face angle.
It's very open.
I'm hitting a chip shot here, but I've got the club face squared up.
But you're going to see just how much shaft lean he has on hitting a low spinning shot.
Hinging the right wrist immediately, all right hand going back.
And then as he comes through, at the moment of truth, this is where the money is made.
This is what you have to learn how to do is to get this much.
About 10 to 12 to 13 degrees of shaft, and depending on the shot, you're hitting at impact.
When you have this, you can control the golf ball.
When you don't have this, you can't control the golf ball.
You have to have shaft lead.
And so as you're doing this, this next phase, you won't be able to get your hands into this position.
without really having a good feel for supination.
Look at Tiger's right arm here.
Where's his elbow pit pointing?
It's still basically straight at the camera.
This left arm is internally rotated.
I mean, It's still like, basically the exact same GDP position that I've been talking about, in the full swing, but doing it in a miniature stroke where it's much more manageable.
It's much easier to learn this.
And then look as he comes through the ball.
I know it's blurry.
I apologize.
It's very hard, shockingly, to find good footage of Tiger chipping and pitching with good shutter speeds.
But you can see here, again, I hit a square face shot, so I'm not putting as much spin on it.
But you can see long after the ball is gone, I've still got several degrees of shaft lean here.
Tiger's is blurry, so it's changing.
But you get the idea.
We are holding off the release.
Watch my club face on the right coming through the ball.
So as I hit down, my club's not going to bottom out until, right?
Well, it still hasn't bottomed out yet.
So if I was taking a divot here, I'd still be digging.
But the club face is very, very square for a very, very long time.
There's minimal rotation there.
And that's what you have to learn.
Now look at Tiger's elbow put still at this point in relationship to his torso, to his entire body.
That right arm is still.
In that supinated position, 90 degrees to his chest, elbow pit pointing up out and away.
This is what you're trying to learn with each phase of this program is that with your, it starts here, supinated hinge and unhinge control that face.
I feel like as I'm coming through, my palm is always facing down the target line.
And then as I go to chip, My palm is always facing down the target line as I go to pitch, my palm is still facing down that target line.
But it is going to start to release.
There's too much momentum at some point, but that's what you're trying to learn to feel is this?
And so now you can see, my arm is still supinated, like I was showing of of Tiger there when we were looking at his pitching stroke.
It's still not here, it's still here.
That's what you have to learn.
Show a close-up of left-hand putter grip.
All right, so for me, I take stronger left hand.
I do reverse overlap with my left, and that would be my left hand.
I don't really care too much where it goes.
I usually just kind of put it down the shaft.
I'm more concerned with my right than anything else.
The shaft is a product of the move you're teaching, correct?
I mean, I don't need to make the shaft and happen as a result of the right arm position.
Yes, exactly.
It's using your core to move your hand and your arm in this supinated position.
I have shaft lean, right?
I'm not trying to do anything special.
I'm hinging my wrist as I go back.
My core is turning.
I start to fire my core.
I'm in supination.
Core is continuing to drive through.
I've got all the shaft lean in the world.
How does the face not stay open?
Because you have a proper grip.
Club face is going to square up.
You're not going to be able to hold it like this forever.
First of all, it's going to be rotating.
It's still rotating here, whether you want it to or not.
You're really just trying to learn to not rotate it.
But if you have a proper grip, that club face is dead square.
And my hands are 12, 14, 15 degrees in front of that club face.
It's all about your grip.
Did the strong grip and right elbow position feel strange to me?
It felt freaking terrible.
I hated every second of it, if I'm honest.
From a lead side dominant position, most lead side dominant guys, our right arms are kind of like bent at a dress.
They're really relaxed.
Like there was a video of Vijay Singh just practicing this week.
And he's like, he's hitting ball drivers with just his left hand only.
And, you know, when he puts his right hand back on there, he's talking about how he just does not want it to do anything.
It's the antithesis.
That's why Vijay's swing and Tiger's swing look nothing alike.
So when you start getting into this, this was the most awkward thing in the world for me.
And it was terrible.
I was a horrible right-hand putter.
Now I actually feel like I'm actually a really, really good putter, which I've never felt.
And it's all because it's so much simpler.
I'm just doing this.
That putter face isn't changing.
I'm just maintaining that angle the whole way through until it eventually has to release.
And that's why Tiger's so damn good.
With every club in the bag, he's been the best iron player of all time because he hits it so consistently straight.
The only thing that really the Tiger throws himself into a whirlwind for, which is a catch-22, is he shapes the ball so much.
He curves the ball 30, 40 yards with the driver.
That's a lot.
I'm the antithesis of that.
I curve the ball three yards, and I'm upset.
I hit the ball as dead straight as I can on every time.
So I don't try and shape the ball, but my game is very low maintenance.
I don't practice very often.
If I have to curve it, of course I can, but I don't try and do that.
I just generally like to hit the same shot over and over again.
I've always wondered what would Tiger have shot if instead of trying to hit these 30 yard cuts and 20 yard cuts, if he just hit it straight like he did on the range all the time, how many tournaments would that guy want?
But we'll never know.
Yeah, Mark, Seve was very, very handsy guy.
Wonderful short game player, obviously, I've never really studied his game that much, but, uh, relaxed arm, and it's not that your arms are tense, right?
Like this is an important thing to get, like, I'm not rock rigid, straight, but I'm not relaxed either.
There was a, uh, there was a video years ago.
Like when Tiger and Butch did the Golf Channel thing.
And Tiger talked about his grip pressure.
And that Butch Harman put this device on his putter that would beep every time Tiger gripped it too tight.
And it drove Tiger crazy.
This is back in like 2000, right?
So right at the peak of his game.
And at the time, he didn't say how hard he was gripping it, but he said he backed it down to like a five and a half or six.
Five and a half or six.
That's still pretty firm.
And that's down from where he was when he won all those US amateurs and the masters.
Remember in 97, this dude was holding that club like a 10 probably.
So the one thing that I've really changed, I gripped the club so much tighter with my right hand than I ever have in my life.
I've always been strong with the last three fingers of the left hand.
And then my right hand, middle two fingers are there, but they're not really doing anything.
I'm the exact opposite now.
I grip that club pretty damn firm with my right hand because I don't want that club face to change.
I'm controlling this thing.
You can see, you watch Tiger's putting stroke.
When he hits a putt, you never see this.
You see this.
Right?
Long backstroke, short follow through.
You have to have a firm right hand.
You have to have control of that club.
And Tiger's a control freak.
And so you grip that club tight.
And that's what.
Who was it?
Byron Nelson told Tiger the old story about Tiger, talking about grip pressure after the 97 Masters win.
The next year.
They do the Masters dinner.
And all the guys are sitting around the table and they grab a knife and they start milking it.
And everybody's talking about their grip, pressure.
And all of them are like, Oh yeah.
I gripped the club towards, if it's just gonna like, fall out of my hands.
And and all of them are saying that.
And Tiger's like, Whoa?
I gripped the club really tight.
And he's like, Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Although he just won the Masters, you know?
And Byron Nelson came up to him and said, Kid, you grip that club as tight as you can.
That, again, is complete blasphemy.
For most golf instruction, and certainly for a lead side dominant pattern, you don't want that.
But in a trail side, I'm controlling that thing, I'm hitting the ball with my hand.
And once you learn how to train this thing, by starting here first, you're going to start realizing that with your irons and your driver, you are hitting the ball with your hand.
And as long as your hand is in this position, you can hit that thing as hard as you want because the clubface is square.
You're not worrying about trying to time a release anymore.
But in order to take out that timing of the release, you have to learn how to control that clubface with your right hand.
Does that make sense?
Any more questions on any of that stuff?
No.
Oh, yeah.
So if you guys need help with this stuff, it's not complicated at all, but it's different.
It's very foreign.
And so Craig is again, he's opened up a few more spots in his unlimited review group.
So if you guys want one on one help, You need a second set of eyes to speed this stuff up so that you don't understand little things you don't understand.
Like, why am I pulling this?
Why am I pushing?
Why am I hitting them fat?
Why am I shanking it?
Craig is going to make your life a thousand times easier because if you go into his URG group, you can upload your swing every single day to him and say, hey, Craig, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right hand drill, right?
Because it's only going to take a few hours to get to 300 reps.
And so you don't want to waste that time.
And so you want to make sure that you're doing these drills correctly.
And so if you're not sure and you have questions on it, then just.
And Craig's doing it for half off for a month.
So it's literally like $3.
50 a day or something.
You can get a golf lesson from a top teacher for $3.
50 a day.
So that's what that link is on the screen there.
If you want help with it, Craig's going to be the guy to help you with all of this stuff.
Do you try to obtain maximum core stretch in the back swing?
You can.
Yes, you do.
But that's happening so fast that I wouldn't necessarily think about that.
But you do need to stretch that core, of course.
Does it rotate in the toe?
Yes, it does.
And it's going to happen.
You can't stop the release of the toe.
It's just that you're feeling, you're learning that you're not trying to release it.
You're trying to essentially keep it from releasing until it has to.
How do you feel that your right side is, I think that's supposed to be loaded.
I feel like it's loaded, like I'm going to knock somebody out in a punching bag.
That's how I feel.
Is my core just staying engaged or is it actually moving when I'm putting?
It is moving.
It's a little bit.
You know, this is, I did have this question a couple of times this week.
You know, I really just talked about the core kind of stabilizing, but it is moving, but it's, you know, when you're just learning how to control, my goal for you in this first phase is to learn how to control the club face, just the putter face.
And so I don't want you thinking about a bunch of core rotation and body turn, arm movement, all that stuff.
But yes, your core is gonna, especially as you get into a longer stroke.
There's going to be a little bit of weight shift.
There's going to be a little bit of hip turn.
There's going to be more shoulder turn.
There's going to be a little bit of arm movement.
All of that stuff is going to happen, but it's just not a whole heck of a lot at first.
John, you're getting all the speed from a massive unhinge of your wrists.
I've got all this leverage in my wrist.
And as soon as I get rid of that, there's a ton of speed there.
And I'm using my very powerful core from the trail side of my body.
to drive that through as fast as I want.
That's where you're getting that snap of speed.
Do you try and straighten your right arm at impact?
Definitely not.
I'm not trying to do anything with my right arm.
That is a death move.
It's how you're going to start shanking it.
So if you find yourself trying to straighten your right arm, guess what's going to happen to your right arm?
Not only is it going to drive the hosel into the ball, but you're going to start pronating.
And that's going to start closing the club face down.
So how do I avoid that?
I turn my core.
To move my arm.
And now, as I do this, I've got all the shaft lean.
My club face is already squared up, it's delofted and I can let it release.
And I've got all the power in the world.
You do not use your arms in the golf swing.
So again, the best thing that you can do, you have to start videoing yourself.
Because even though this looks really simple, Trust me, as somebody was talking about the tee drill earlier, they were struggling with the tee drill.
That, when you do it right, will completely change your putting game and your confidence with the putter.
But you have to do it.
You've got to do it.
You've got to video yourself.
Why are you hitting it fat?
I give you, or why are you hitting the tees?
I give you a few checkpoints in there.
But again, It's really just understanding how to hinge and unhinge this wrist and controlling that release of the face.
Not doing a whole lot with your body is going to teach you how to be able to get through those T's.
Is your checkpoint still how the shoulders be squared?
Yep, shoulders are still square.
You're welcome, Christopher.
I appreciate you spending your Saturday night with me.
It never passes the trail leg to impact.
No, it's still going to pass it.
Your trail leg as you're coming through.
As I'm driving through my, my hands are definitely going to pass my trail leg.
There'd be.
I wouldn't want to be like this.
Um, I just posted up a link from Amazon Kim Um, and I found one for 20 bucks.
If you search for iPhone holder TriPod on Amazon, it'll pop up.
I don't have a link for it now.
Uh, the hinge and unhinge is just Again, it's so vital to have this proper grip.
Otherwise, it's not going to work.
And I see a lot of grips like this.
And this is death.
Here and here.
Hinge and unhinge.
And this, again, it's really just about understanding how to think about it.
I like to think about it like where my fingernails are.
My fingernails are on top of the shaft.
And as I hinge and as I come through, I still want them to be on top of that shaft.
When they start doing like this.
That's when I start losing that hinge.
Somebody was able to post that link.
Let me see your question here, Glenn.
You're welcome, Mark.
I'm glad you guys found this helpful.
As tight as you want.
Yeah, that's a simple way of thinking about it.
Now, of course, you know, tights.
Tight's a tricky one, right?
If I tell you to grip it tight.
I'm going to see a lot of people with capillaries being drained of blood.
There's a balance to this stuff, of course.
Grip it tight enough to control that thing so that you know exactly where that club face is pointing.
Every single time.
That's what you're trying to do, you're controlling the club face with your dominant hand.
That's the secret to Tiger's game.
And when you start understanding how you're able to do that with that, you know the supinated arm, this GDP position.
Then everything starts to become really, really simple.
And you'll find that you'll settle into a grip pressure that's right for you.
Uh, covered in the ball with your upper body.
Yep, sure, if you want to hit it, knock it down.
Absolutely.
So.
The takeaway, you talk about the left shoulder stuff.
That was something that all the goats talked about, Every single GOAT that I studied, Bobby Jones, Lee Trevino, Ben Hogan, they all talked about starting the club back with their left shoulder.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Obviously, they were phenomenal players, right?
The difference is I just don't believe that's what Tiger does.
I don't believe that's what Tiger does at all.
I don't believe Tiger uses the left side of his body relatively hardly at all.
And maybe that's why Tiger was Tiger.
You think about the jump he made.
From where people were on the tour in the mid 90s.
And then he came in and was just like a phenomenally different wild level that we didn't even dream of.
That level of golf was possible.
I think a lot of it has to do with him being completely dominant, hand oriented and all of these other golfers.
Power wasn't that big of a deal in Hogan's era.
And Jones is there, Jones was playing with hickory shafts and gotta purchase balls and stuff, you know, like you didn't, you didn't have the equipment like we did until, like that didn't really arrive on the scene.
Until, like, the mid 2000s was when you started getting reasonable golf balls and reasonable driver heads.
Most of the good stuff was aftermarket stuff like that you got from the club builders, it really wasn't the OEM stuff unless you got a tour head.
But Tiger came in and completely changed that because he had so much more speed than everybody else.
And when you think about it, the golf swing before that time was, you know, very lead, side dominant, flowing, effortless kind of thing.
Because it was all about controlling a ball that spun like crazy.
I grew up in that era with Persimmon Woods and a lot of balls, and it was just a completely different game.
If you tried to hit the ball hard, the ball just tended to spin and balloon up in the air.
More so, power wasn't a thing.
Tiger completely transformed that.
And I believe he was perhaps the first real dominant player to be really trail hand dominant.
I think Nicholas was also very trail hand dominant.
And Mike Austin was obviously very trail hand dominant.
There's other players, but Tiger just took it to an absolutely, completely different level.
And I think that was a big reason why.
He was the most powerful player, apart from John Daly, for most of his younger part of his career.
He was the second longest driver on the ball.
Yeah, we do need to.
I love the tour of a lot.
It's fun.
Holding the grip tight.
Is that the putter?
I was taught to hold the club like you're holding the baby.
Yeah, Sam Snead stuff, right?
Again, Sam Snead and Tiger Woods didn't swing the same.
So a lot of this stuff that is old adages that are quote unquote fundamentals of the golf game, they don't really apply to a trailside dominant swing, in my opinion.
I could be totally wrong, but I've matched Tiger's patterns pretty damn close, probably closer to anybody else on the planet.
And these are the things that I've had to do to match them.
And then when I started to really understand where it's coming from, it pretty much flies in the face of all conventional golf instruction.
What Tiger's doing is different than everybody else.
That's my opinion on it.
All right, guys, any other questions?
So I think Craig's got like two more spots left after this in his group.
I'll have to check that again unless somebody drops out in the meantime.
But so if there's any more of you, I'll.
highly recommend you jump in his group because he's very, very helpful with getting you guys to understand this stuff and get you to do it really quick.
Can you, if you had any, sorry, Onomi, I didn't see your other question.
If you could post it again real quick, I'll try to answer it before we sign off here.
You're welcome, Mark.
You're welcome, guys.
Yeah, send that video in.
Save yourself trouble from practicing this stuff wrong.
Will the hinging motion with the putter apply to all clubs?
Yep, that's the whole point of doing it.
Everything that we're doing, literally everything from the putter to the chipping clubs, the pitching clubs, to the irons, to the driver, they're all one fundamental, building on top of another fundamental, building on top of another one, building on top of another one.
But we've got to learn this stuff in digestible pieces, right?
I can put you in a driver's swing right now, and are you going to be able to do this right?
No.
But you can get it right in your putter, and then you're going to get it right chipping, and then you're going to get it right pitching, and then you're going to get it right with your wedges, and then you're going to get it right with your irons, and then it's going to come to the driver.
You're welcome, David.
John, you guys are welcome.
I saw one question there real quick.
We talk about the chipping at all tonight.
No, we already spent an hour on here.
It's a late Saturday night for most people, including me.
I'm usually in bed by eight.
So we'll get out of here.
But oh, one other thing.
I'm going to be out of town for the next week or two golfing up in Montana.
So I won't be able to do a.
webinar next week.
I'm working on some more content in the meantime, But you guys have plenty of stuff to start working on over the next two weeks to get yourself ready because when we get back, I'm going to start working on pitching.
So by the time that I get back, it's two weeks, you should be very competent putting with both hands.
You should be very competent chipping and you should be getting to the point where you're pitching.
And if you're pitching properly, The next phase is going to be the part that's going to be life-changing.
Because that's where you're going to learn all the fundamentals of how to properly compress that golf ball on every single shot.
And you do compress the ball with your right hand, which is, again, very opposite of a lead side dominant swing.
The right hand's basically coming off.
You don't feel that you're actually hitting with your right hand, and this you do.
So you're going to need to get those reps in, and we'll see you guys in a couple weeks.
