Q-n-A Webinar 6: June 11

Q-n-A with Craig Morrow, sixth webinar, June 11th 2025

---

All right, everybody.

Welcome.

Can you hear me?

The old proverbial first question.

Yes.

All right.

All right.

Fantastic.

Hello, Ron.

Thanks, David.

I appreciate that.

Hello, Mary Alexander.

Hey, Mike.

How are we doing today?

All right.

Well, since we have a live mic, yes, I can hear an alpha.

Hey, Michael.

All right.

Well, how are we doing tonight, ladies and gentlemen?

Welcome to the fifth or, I don't even know at this point, but the past the midway point session of Q &A.

So thank you, as always, for spending your Wednesday evening with me.

RST instructor Craig here.

I will be your fearless leader tonight.

How's everybody doing tonight?

How are we doing?

How's the swing?

How's the game?

As usual, I'm going to let everybody kind of pile in here.

I got here a tiny bit earlier than I did in the last session, so my heart isn't going nuts, but I wasn't able to sneak in any food.

Hey, Ray, how are we doing today?

So as my ticker is increasing on this side, How are we doing?

Swing feeling good?

We have all this down now?

I mean, let's see.

It's what?

The fifth session now?

Or no, the sixth?

Something like that?

There shouldn't be any questions at this point.

Everybody should be, we're scratch golfers, we're taking everybody's money at the club, and there's nothing left to talk about, right?

That's kind of the point.

Are you going to relate the GOAT 170 plus yards?

The new video?

I mean, I know the components of it if you have a question about them.

Iron to the driver's swing.

Driver, I'm leaving with the boss, man.

I can still answer a few things, but put those up in the community.

I think I got a couple in those in that stack today.

Wife says if I break 100, I get new clubs and fit it.

We can do that in one session.

Do I get new clubs too?

If you break a hundred, do I get new clubs?

He's talking to new eight iron video.

Yeah.

I mean, that's the same principles in the new eight iron video apply to what we're doing here.

I mean, I can answer a couple of questions at the end and that's the thing.

I'm still, I think that that format's working well for us.

I'm going to go through the questions, talk about what everybody's been putting in the community page.

And then at the end, I'll open it up the last five, ten minutes to question them.

And I was pretty sure somebody was going to ask about the 8 -iron video.

But the components of the 8 -iron video are the same thing that we've been doing here.

I think that sometimes people, especially.

because the movements that Chuck's working on are exaggerated to see them on camera.

They think like you've got to make this big kind of wonky motion.

That's just so you can see them.

And then sometimes, you know, it's the feel and real aspect.

Especially like when I work on people with takeaway, take somebody so used to taking it inside.

When I get them making the takeaway correctly, they literally feel that the club's out here.

And then I'll show them on video and they'll be like, it's perfectly in line.

So I think that's some of the 8-iron mojo.

All right.

Hi, Jack.

How are we doing tonight?

Ticker's increasing, so I'll give everybody just a couple more minutes.

I will tell you something that I learned.

I guess somewhat golf-related.

Artificial turf burns when it's.

The light is being reflected off windows at a certain angle.

I would have thought, by now, I mean, I've got paint that I put in a fireplace or a drill or grill.

That, you know, is 800 900 degrees resistant.

But apparently, golf turf at about 176 degrees Fahrenheit burns.

So I gotta work on that one.

Hey Bill, how we doing tonight?

That video lacked emphasis on planting the lead leg and posting up on it.

The 8-iron?

Ron, are you talking about the 8-iron video?

Because I thought that was a big emphasis on it.

About how the lead leg, getting the feeling of getting yourself to plant this way so that as you drive, this can post correctly instead of everybody getting too external and not being able to post on that leg.

I thought there was a big emphasis on it.

Now, I mean, I'd need to go back and watch I can't say I've watched the whole thing.

But, you know, as you're getting to here and you're making this motion right here, that's first putting the big emphasis on getting back into this side.

And then as you're driving your core, because this leg isn't like this, which causes a very.

Unstable post I'm actually able to drive and get internal femur rotation correctly, so it actually makes the post even more stable.

Because most people and I'll just go ahead and elaborate on this since it's up there.

Um, most people this leg right here, they try to rotate out of the way, all right, and that's remember.

The downswing is a combination of lateral, rotational and vertical motion, so the posting right here is a vertical motion, it's not a rotational motion so to speak.

And what you need right here is called internal femur rotation.

That's how you actually post, it actually rotates internally this way.

So when you make that motion and you drive against your leg, you see how my knee can't go this way, so it gets my hip to get this rotation this way.

So it actually really braces that post because it think about it this way.

Think if I did the opposite and I had like a big splay like this, all right, if I were to get up here towards the top and plant, you see how that.

I can get this really externally rotated.

And that's just going to cause me to spin.

Now if I go like this and now I try to drive, look at my leg.

That thing is like a post.

That seems to be most important to accelerate the arms down to release the wrist at the ball.

Yeah, because your core is moving it, so it's increasing your hand speed as you come down.

Maya, I don't know.

Maybe because when it's in the rain, you don't force anything.

Maybe when it's in the rain, you keep everything.

You're worried about losing grip of the club.

You're really hyper -focused, but you swing a little bit more within yourself.

And when you go out nice sunny, you're trying to make everything perfect.

It should be a focus issue.

Johnny, the 160-yard video doesn't mention supination, only body movement.

Supination automatic body movement, it's correct.

For some players, yes.

If I get up here towards the top, and I answer these next two, then I'll get to my list.

We'll leave Q &A to the end, even though this is called Q &A.

The supination motion right here is I move into side bend.

So if I'm doing that 180 -yard shot, and I'm going here, here, Here, you can see as I'm moving it aside, what's my trail arm doing right now?

That's in supination.

That's not getting here and going this way.

But you still have to take everything.

You still have to take the information for you.

And what I mean by that, some players are always going like this.

And so if I stop them right here and I say move into side bend, they're like, oh, okay, that's what shallow feels like, Craig.

Then they get in front of a golf ball and they're like this.

Because their feel is so off of what shallowing the club is, what supination is, some players have to feel that more.

I gave this example to a student the other day.

All right.

Now I'll leave you with this before I get to the list.

Let's take my golf swing.

If somebody told me to shift weight, all right?

So if somebody said, Craig, I need you to focus on shifting weight into your trail side, you know what would happen?

I would be over here like this because I already shift weight.

So telling me to do something that I already do and feeling that is going to be an overcooked motion for me.

But for the vast majority of players, it's not going to be.

So you still have to take what is it, you know, kind of necessary, what is it that I need to pull out of this video, you know, my problem-wise?

Because I've already done it so much, I've already shifted weight so much I don't have to think about it.

There's a problem in golf, especially players that work on their swing a lot, that we call getting desensitized, all right?

And so you may work on, let's say, shifting the weight.

shifting weight into your trail leg for a week.

So you're here, getting weight into the side, getting weight into the side.

And then after a week, you're like, well, that doesn't feel like it did.

It doesn't feel as dramatic.

It doesn't feel as loaded as it does.

So I need to shift weight more.

And so they start overcooking it and overcooking it to try to get the same sensation, but you're already doing it.

You've now gone from a conscious needing to do it to now you're moving through that position and you're just not as aware of it.

Because you've done the reps.

All right.

Yeah, you don't need to make your arms speed up, Bruce.

As I'm getting here and I'm rotating my core, this is what's moving my arms.

I'm not trying to take my elbow and speed that up like that.

I'm not trying to have increased arm speed.

Kenneth, new member, wondered whether I should change from a baseball grip.

It's not the worst thing in the world, but ideally, for a goat, it's going to be interlocking just because of the way that you have the placement on the club.

But with that said, and if you're a new member and this is your first time, Kenneth, welcome to the club.

I would highly suggest going back to the first webinar, because by the time we get to this point, a lot of the questions that you may have have already been answered.

But welcome to the club if this is your first time.

With that being said, let's get to the list.

What do they have for them, Johnny?

Can you answer this question?

I hope.

How do you know if a trail side pattern versus a lead side pattern is right for you?

Can you please hit some key checkpoints and insight that would determine which one of these patterns are best?

given a player's individual swing traits or abilities?

That's a little bit tough.

All right, to be honest with you, I'm going to answer it the way that I kind of think about it, especially, you know, like if I'm working with a student.

So how do you tell whether a trail side pattern or lead side pattern is for you?

The first thing that I have a player do is I have them contemplate what do they typically do in hitting and throwing sports?

What arm do they usually.

use to throw speed?

What side are to throw a ball?

And what side do they usually create speed with?

What would they do a tennis racket with?

What would they write with?

What is typically their everyday dominant arm, dominant side?

That's just the very first question.

The second thing that I usually do is I have them hit balls, to be honest with you, is I'll say, hey, I want you to take the club, if I can find one, and I just want you to make some shots.

I want you to feel the club release back and through.

And what I'll sit there and watch is how their body kind of reacts.

Take my trail arm right here.

I'll sit there and watch somebody go back and forth and try to get a feel for the ball.

But I'll kind of watch how their body reacts.

Then I'll do the same thing with their lead arm.

And I'll kind of see how everything's moving.

I'll see if they actually start to create some type of kinematic sequence.

And so one player, or most players, One side or the other, they're going to typically look like an athlete.

They're going to typically look like they know how to create some coordination from that movement.

I wish there was a test or one -size-fits-all.

I know we have the test online.

We actually have one where you can go in and Chuck has a couple questions to try to decide which one you are.

But that's kind of the first thing.

Hit some shots.

See.

Which feels better to you?

See how your body coordinates it with.

This isn't an exact science, but I also think there's a little bit to have to do with personality.

Personality is in a lot of things in life.

The lead side dominant player is usually the more laissez-faire type player.

So I'm a lead side dominant player.

I was trail side for 20 years and I've been lead side for the last one.

Lead side is typically going to have a ton more lag or a little bit more leverage from the wrist.

You're going to need a little bit more rotation from your hip to help sling it, but the lead side is going to typically be the more kind of hands -off approach.

I'm just going to kind of make this big, long, lazy swing, use a little bit of lag, and let this kind of work on its own right here.

You know, if you think like Ernie Els or something like that, it's typically going to be the person that kind of that tempo.

They're just kind of letting things happen, kind of letting the swing come to them.

Some people don't agree with that philosophy.

They're like, I have to control something.

I have to do something.

Those players typically mimic a little bit more of trail side.

They want to have a little bit more firmness.

They want to feel.

with whatever your definition of athletic is, but they want to feel more athletic.

They feel like, hey, just like a tennis forehand, I want to be able to drive my court.

I want to be able to push a little bit more from my trail side and generate some speed.

They're typically the person that wants to move more, that wants to be a little bit more active.

It doesn't mean you have to be, but that's typically the player that wants.

I want to impart my will on this golf ball.

For me being lead side, I'm like, all right, there's the ball, la, la, la, la, la, la.

And then let it get in the way.

So even though there's not an exact science behind it, I also think there has to do with kind of a personality trait.

Is do you have to have ultimate control or do you want ultimate control and to be able to add force?

Trail side will allow you to do that because you can get here, wind up here.

I was trail side for 20 years.

All right.

You can add and you can be more forceful.

You can kind of put your own two cents in it.

So to round that out, I would hit balls.

I would think about what you do in hitting and throwing sports and what you create best speed from.

All right.

And then just kind of think about what you want out of your golf swing.

The lead side to me.

Once you kind of get it, it's very kind of.

I mean, I don't practice.

I don't really do anything.

It's there.

I have a bad back.

I've got a really bad body from all my injuries.

It doesn't really put a whole lot of pressure on me.

Now, the trail side, moving correctly, it's not going to put a whole lot of pressure on you either.

But if you like to give it a little bit more view, a little bit more.

Trail side is going to typically match a little bit more.

Or if you're very good and you're very coordinated with your trail side, that's kind of my two cents on it.

Second question.

Please discuss the release and release timing, maybe slow it in motion to get a better feel for the J.

Now, I think we've covered that one enough, but I read it how they get posted.

So as I'm here, I'm supinating, I'm deviating, then I'm rotating.

And so this feeling is going to feel like a little bit of unhinging, and then unhinging in the grip, kind of missing my forearm right there.

And that's why I think that's the best way to kind of feel it, is just go like this, and then miss your forearm.

And you combine that.

It becomes a pretty free release, and that face doesn't have to really do it.

You don't have to really control it or put too much of your will in it.

Question number three.

Is it an option to start the swing from GDP, like an actual swing, to create more feel where GDP is exactly reverse engineering?

100%.

I do that with players all the time.

If so, can you show it on camera, first shorter swings and later on to full swings?

I do that all the time.

So if I'm giving a lesson or doing a live lesson or a human lesson, a lot of players don't know what the delivery position is right here.

And this is what we call GDP, elbow pit, palm facing away in front of the trail hip right here.

This is a really good place to hit balls from.

To start training your mind and training your brain, this is where I want to start delivering this.

Especially players that have the tendency to fire too much or cast from the top, where they race too much and their arms stay way behind.

Understanding that we've got to get to this position, period.

You have to get to this position.

So starting from right here, this is a really good place.

If you even go to the GDP video, I think he does the pump drills in it.

So if you get into GDP right here, this is a really good spot just to have a little bit of wind, just to get a little bit of momentum going.

And then pivot through.

Start in GDP, pivot through.

This is a really good way to get used to, okay, this is where I'm starting to deliver the club from.

I've got zero problems with that.

You can go from there.

You can make it a little bit bigger where you kind of get, I call it the L position because it kind of looks like an L, where you get up here to the L and then pivot through and release.

I think anything that prioritizes getting you into a correct impact position.

Impact is the only thing that matters, all right?

It's the only thing that matters.

It's the only thing that's telling that golf ball what to do.

So anytime you're working on a drill or anytime you're thinking about what you need to do in the movement, that's going to prioritize, oh, this is how I go from here to here, where I have my shaft lane, my trail wrist has extension, I'm on my lead side, I'm in proper secondary tilt, side bend, head behind the ball.

Anything that's prioritizing what really matters in the swing, which is impact, I've got zero problem with.

And the follow-up to that question is, does the two-inch hand drill for the backswing still fit in and go through?

It does.

It still fits in it for two purposes.

One, it helps you really feel your core, okay?

So it really helps you feel how your arms don't kind of swing side to side independently, that it's really this that's winding.

There's going to be some adjustments with how your shoulder blade kind of moves to the top and you make a little bit of the transition, but that doesn't mean there's not a purpose or there's not a place for the two-inch hand drill anymore.

A lot of players have trouble feeling their abdominals.

I have trouble feeling my abdominals because my love handles, my obliques, I don't know if they're there.

They're supposed to be there, but there's stuff on top of them.

But that drill, and for players that don't know what the two -inch hand drill is, Chuck has it in the roll, the right arm, the takeaway old old video, and I've got it in a backswing video.

Stop over swing, where you take your hands, you stick them two inches apart, fingertip length staying the same and you learn how to move your arms with your core.

So I start to make little swings right here, where I maintain the fingertip length and the spacing.

And what that's doing is that's teaching me to engage my core, engage my abs to move my arms and hands.

Because if this changed, well, now my arms swing kind of independently of my body.

If my spacing changed, same thing.

So doing a little two-inch hand drill like this to feel how your arms move with your core, zero problem with that.

Because that's just going to get these muscles awake.

It's going to get them alive.

If you think of the GOAT 9-3 drill.

What's the first part of the GOAT 9-3 drill?

What does Chuck want you to do?

Starts out in his office.

He's got the foam roller.

He's talking about making sure that you're staying in posture, getting that hip back.

But when he gets into the gym session, what's the first thing that he wants you to do in the GOAT 9-3?

He wants you to take the setup.

He doesn't want you to really worry about a ton of face rotation or anything.

All he wants you to do is just get used to here.

Here, not worrying about the face, not worrying about anything, but getting your core activated, with that face staying square, right and through.

Well, what's?

what's this doing?

That's the exact same thing.

So there's still a place and purpose for that drill.

There has to be a place and purpose for that drill.

It's one of my drills on the site.

We can't get rid of that.

Can't boot me yet.

Now, here's a good question.

Unfortunately, it is completely natural to want to use muscle power from our arms.

And this one.

Over the years, this becomes a bad habit that is difficult to come out of.

It more often or less results in over-the -top and slicing 100%.

If you are coming over the top and slicing, you are pushing.

You are trying to generate power, trying to generate by using your arms, pushing your arms, pushing your shoulder.

And that usually, more than 99 ,999 times, is because you're trying to generate some type of power.

So it seems like the solution somehow is to stop using our arms.

But we can't chop them off.

Or can you?

I do have a hacksaw in the garage.

So we must keep using them, but very differently than before.

How?

Well, that's what we do with our loading, our core rotation.

Just like I just showed you with the two-inch hander, I haven't done anything with my arms yet.

I haven't really done anything with them.

But maybe you can talk about this in the webinar, and I guess that the question relates to effortless power versus powerless effort.

And I think that's really the nuts and bolts of it.

The easiest way, one of the easiest ways, in my opinion, To get over the mental hurdle of speed versus power is the impact bag.

Now, I'm not trying to sell you on anything.

Hopefully, you'll be able to hear it.

But the impact bag is your ultimate weapon to really understand the effortless power versus powerless effort.

Okay?

That's the biggie.

I saw a couple of things, but I just want to make sure.

Okay.

Because you have to have some type of feedback for this.

Everybody feels that using more muscle like this, using a lot of pushing power is powerful.

And I completely get that.

We use in the clinic all the time that if your car got stuck in the mud, would you have everybody go to the front bumper and try to pull it out?

Or would you go to the back bumper and try to push it out?

we'd obviously go back behind it and try to push it out because you're going to be able to generate more force.

The problem is in the golf swing, you need speed, not power.

That's why little guys like me and other little people can hit it very far.

So let's talk about this impact bag for a second to help you get over this.

Hopefully I won't break anything.

And I apologize if this is really loud in the mic.

I've never done it on a microphone.

If I've got this impact bag right here, I could go to the top, and let's just say, for instance, I'm going for power, and I just started to rotate everything down as hard as I could, all right?

So that would look like this.

Okay, so you can see that bag and what it did right there.

That was a lot of effort for me to move that.

Now you tell me.

What would I really want in the swing?

Producing that much effort?

Getting that kind of pop?

Or would I want to get here?

And what was the difference in that pop?

Now, I know that may not come over on the microphone, and I apologize if that was loud.

But one was much louder than the other.

That's the ultimate tool to getting over that, because what you need in the swing, you need.

Speed.

I can generate a lot more speed by releasing this leverage from the wrist and having this rotation in the face.

I can sit here all day long, and generate a lot of speed without a whole lot of effort.

I was sitting there doing la-la-las as I was doing that.

So I think that the impact bag is your ultimate tool.

to really feeling and hearing the difference in what speed versus power is.

The golf swing, we need speed, okay?

Now, to another one of that point.

This goes back into kind of the leverage talk.

Now, this was really good in lead side training to think about it.

If I'm right here, can I move this club faster like this?

Or can I move it faster like that?

Now, which one am I using a lot more effort and which one's moving faster right there?

So you've got to think about the golf swing.

You've got to think about the club as speed.

I'm getting whip.

I'm trying to get this to move faster than me.

The more power I'm trying to give it, think about it.

The more I go like this.

This is staying back here.

This isn't rotating.

That's muscular effort.

But as soon as this kind of starts rotating and releasing, this is speeding up relative to But you have to think that you want speed, not power.

The more effort you kind of apply, the more you try.

All right, I'm not saying you don't have to work on your swing or anything like that.

But the more that you're trying to do something.

It's kind of like, Um, if you go to the dentist and you're going to the dentist and getting into your teeth right there.

Do I want the person that's sitting there, like thinking, going through the steps and it's like, I'm gonna get?

Or do I want them?

Just, Oh, here, I'm just gonna make the motion, just gonna move, I'm not gonna, I'm gonna Get that.

If I get the shot, I want somebody to prick me.

I don't want somebody to jam it into me, hopefully.

But the big thing is it's speed versus power.

You need speed in golf.

Speed is the name of the game when it comes to what kind of separates everybody.

It's where the distance is coming from.

And so effortless power versus powerless effort.

In golf, think about the little guys.

Think about Ricky.

I think Ricky is a perfect example.

Has anybody ever met Ricky?

It's like this high.

He's like this big around and he hits the crap out of the golf ball.

It's not because he's big and muscular or anything like that.

It's because he's getting whip.

He's getting speed.

So I think that people have to hear.

I think that people have to feel that to kind of convince themselves.

And if you grab an impact bag and you do one where you're just keeping it connected to your body like this versus another, whether you're doing J release or any eight iron, 160 yard video.

and you let this club go, you're going to hear the difference, and that's really what you're looking for.

This club will always be able to move faster for you when you release it correctly any day of the week.

Should the lead arm stay connected to the torso throughout the swing?

No.

I feel like it truly helps create the snap release, but not sure if it promotes a slower swing speed.

Now, it could be useful.

I mean, say you've got some bad body parts and stuff like that.

It could be useful to keep the lead arm connected.

But if I keep the lead arm connected throughout the swing, for me, that's about as high as I can get.

Now, I know for me that if I get here and I load in my trail side and I get in my rotation side bend extension, I can get up to here.

Now, if you look at my lead arm, it's no longer connected to me.

It's still in front of me.

And I do have a little bit more depth of my hand because as my trail arm folds, it's going to allow my hands to cross center lock.

But my lead arm, I don't want to keep it connected like this throughout the swing.

As I start to move into extension and I start to get a little bit more height right here, I can generate a lot more speed from there than I can right here.

From here, I'm going to feel a little bit too tight in my body and it's going to mimic more kind of like the beginning stages of a.

Goat nine to three drill.

So the lead arm doesn't stay connected throughout the swing.

All right, as you start to elevate or the arms start to come you start to fold, especially if you're trying to generate a lot of width in the swing.

Think of like a Davis Love.

Like if I'm here and I'm trying to generate a lot of width, I'm going to have a lot of high hands, a lot of width right here.

So that connection's no longer there.

I don't want to glue this to my side or glue it to my pec.

It's a good question, though.

Does it promote slower swing speed?

I don't want to say it promotes it, but you're not going to be able to maximize if your arm's always glued to your side.

It's like the old towel drill, you know, where you take a towel, put it underneath your armpits.

That's not how the swing works.

That can work from here, but that is one of the worst drills you can do for your swing.

Let's see.

Was wondering if you can elaborate more on the throw the club head from the top and letting your body react rather than trying to follow the power sequence.

What position should we be in?

Order table to throw and allow the body to follow.

So I'll answer that one, because that's that I don't mind that part of the question.

The other one we've already answered, though.

What position should we be in in order to able to throw and allow our body to follow?

Well, think about it.

What do you?

If I'm going to throw something, what position do I get in?

Do I stay here on my lead leg and throw if I want to do it with a little bit of speed?

So one of the big things that I see people often, often, often dismiss, not do, I see it daily, is they don't get into their trail side.

Think about if I had a pitching rubber right here.

What's the first thing I'm doing?

I'm picking up my foot and getting into the rubber right here.

So if I'm trying to throw, I'm getting into my trail side.

As I start to move up here towards the top and as I start to shift, now you can see as I'm starting to plant right here, I'm starting my throwing motion.

So as I'm starting to move back into transition right here, as I'm finishing my backswing, this is when I'm getting into my throw.

But the whole kit and caboodle about this, if you don't get into this side, it's going to be insanely hard to throw the club correctly.

All right, that's why the 168 iron video or 9 to 3 video or backswing video, you know, where Chuck has, you know, he talks about keeping this leg right here and then pivoting into this, having this stable side.

You've got to get into this side and you have to do it early.

You want the swing to be very reactive.

If you want the swing to work for you, make everything a byproduct, make everything reactive.

If I get here and I start loading into this side, My brain is going to say, all right, well, he's going to go into that window if he doesn't start going or thinking about going this other direction.

That's going to be how I get from here to here.

So in answer to that question, what position should we be able to throw to allow the ball to follow?

I would focus on just getting your load.

You've got to get this first so that you can have the transition to be able to throw because that's what I would see.

That's what I see way more often than not why people can't do it from the top is because they're trying to do it off their lead leg or they ignored that whole first part and never got over to that side.

There's no stretch, no load.

I have a question about the squish the bug move versus counter torque.

This isn't squish the bugs.

That's why I'm reading These two moves seem counterintuitive.

In the counter torque move, Chuck says the trail foot moves back similar to a hockey player, moving their foots towards their lead leg but pushing backwards.

So the counter torque move that he's referring to is coming through and letting that slide back that way, letting the trail leg move this way, okay?

Because if you're hitting a big slap shot and you're trying to stay stable on the skate, the leg would kind of be moving in this fashion to create counter torque.

In the squish the bug move, the trail toe seems to push the trail foot down the line.

Can you reconcile these feels and movements?

Are these two moves different?

Well, is there any perfect segue to Chuck's Instagram post today about stalling or breaking?

If I'm going to use the squish the bug and I'm going to get up here and I'm going to pivot off this trail leg.

All right.

So I'm going to use my big toe, knee, hip, trail oblique, use my trail side to pivot this.

All right.

As I start to get into this vertical part right here, I'm not going to see this big dramatic counter torque move.

But does that mean that there's not this split second?

Or when I'm going like this, there has to be some type of quitting.

Now, Chuck on Instagram today was talking about how if you watch Tiger from the fanny view, that if you see as he's moving through here and he's moving into position and you watch the two belt loops, right?

I don't know if I have to.

Yeah, right there.

And you watch the two belt loops right here.

As he's going through, you'll see how they really don't quit.

His core is still driving through right here.

And so his point being is the fact that you don't try to stop.

Like you don't try to manually or consciously create a break.

Like stop your left arm or slam on the brakes.

The motion is I'm pivoting this way and I'm driving with that.

You can still see my foot is dragging as my adductors right here kind of pulling and firing.

So they're both in that motion.

The only thing the squish the bug is doing is speeding this up sooner.

That's all the squish the bug is doing.

All it's doing is taking your trail side and making this motion faster.

So as I, you can probably hear or even see my trail foot still kind of drags that way because I think baseball player is the easiest way to kind of think about it.

If I'm here because they can have that step in lateral motion, if I'm stepping and going this way and pivoting off that, this is driving.

But at some point in time, as that's driving, it's still creating a little bit of that counter torque resistance.

So I want to separate the two.

One, you're seeing in a slap shot because you're on a skate.

This is big and dramatic.

But then you can see the same thing like with the.

Rory or Scotty.

Scotty's sitting there dragging that way.

And think about Rory from down the line.

Ever watch Rory from down the line?

Rory gets up here, gets into position.

What does his leg look like going into impact and through impact?

What does his trail leg look like?

You're going to see that his trail leg gets really long and lean because he's really firing those glutes hard.

He's really activating.

Those butt cheek muscles right there, and when you're engaging these and really firing them, that's what's called.

That's what's causing and helping this kind of counter torque move to help the club kind of go through.

It doesn't mean this doesn't keep going.

And I'm manually just trying to get here and stop, you don't really stop.

I'm creating counter torque, so they're both the same.

The squish, the bug, is merely allowing you to add more of this faster.

But you can see as I'm doing that, You can hear how my foot kind of has that drag as I'm driving into this hip, getting that internal femur rotation and posting.

I'm still getting a counter torque from All right, number nine.

As I transition to the downswing, I definitely feel that I have already started to shift to the lead side as I complete the coil, bend, tilt, and rotation of the backswing.

Fantastic.

What's the question?

That's awesome.

First part of the question is as I transition into the downswing, I feel I've already started to shift to the lead side.

That's great.

That's the same thing as now I'm rearing back and I'm already stepping forward.

So I'm creating a little bit more of a stretch right there.

But as I'm starting to get loaded, I'm already getting back.

That's what should happen.

Should the throw initiate the rest of the shift in post or should the shift continue to start to pull the lead glute?

and then initiate the throw, or do both these happen at the same time?

Well, they're both kind of happening at the same time, but what I want you to think about is the throw kind of allowing everything to happen.

So if I'm here and I'm winding back like this, as I start to think about my throw, my leg is reacting to the fact, because I've got some intent, purpose, I'm trying to get.

My throw going, so I'm letting this kind of react to it.

That's why that motion that Chuck talks about with the footwork, I think is very important for a lot of players.

Because if you're going like that and you start to throw, you'll feel how like, that's creating this really big brace 1000 right there versus that.

So they're 1001 happening at the same time.

But what I 1002 would rather you focus on is the throwing 1003 motion, and that goes back to, if you 1004 remember, 1005 What's it called?

1006 Intro on the goat code, 1007 step in tiger's shoes, or what it feels 1008 like to swing like tiger.

1009 What does Chuck have you do in that video?

1010 Don't worry, I'm not going to grade 1011 anybody on it.

What's the first thing 1012 Chuck has you do in that video?

He has you 1013 take a club or a shaft and flip it to this 1014 direction and says, hey, I want you to 1015 first just start to get the feel for some 1016 whipping speed.

1017 And get the feel of getting a little bit 1018 of snap down here and now, as you start to 1019 generate that snap.

Make just a little bit 1020 bigger motion and see what happens.

If you 1021 start to rip it inside or spin your 1022 shoulders, or do anything silly, your whip 1023 is going to change where you hear that 1024 whip.

And so as I'm getting here and I'm 1025 initiating this back, I'm focusing on 1026 throwing my hand 1027 as hard as I can and letting my body react 1028 to that motion.

I already have some of the 1029 footwork, I already have some of the 1030 adduction.

Add not a BD in my leg.

Some 1031 players are going to have to train a 1032 little bit of that feeling.

That's why I 1033 like with the kettle ball and the other 1034 exercises on the site, is to get you to 1035 start to feel muscles.

There was a video, 1036 There's a lesson 1037 video that Chuck posted a couple months 1038 ago and he was talking about how players 1039 aren't used to feeling the muscles that 1040 you need to use in the golf swing.

So he 1041 sometimes takes players into his gym and 1042 has them work on some of the machines, 1043 kettlebells and machines that he has to 1044 get them to start to awaken and fire their 1045 muscles because they're not used to using 1046 them.

I'm used to using the golf muscles, 1047 so what I want you to do is be aware of 1048 the muscles that are firing, work on those 1049 muscles.

But when you get to here, I want 1050 that to be reactionary.

Because you're 1051 doing this throw with a little bit of 1052 intent, because that's going to mimic more 1053 trail side pattern.

Number 10.

What are 1054 the three to four most common faults you 1055 see all the time, and how does Goat Coat 1056 address this?

1057 Well, I mean, I could be real simple.

You 1058 want advanced problems?

I know it says 1059 common, but I see some stuff.

1060 I was kidding around with the students the 1061 other day.

If you'd seen what I've seen, 1062 you'd never hit a golf ball.

1063 It's PTSD.

You'd be having these 1064 flashbacks to some things that you've 1065 seen.

You'd never be able to get over it.

1066 My dad made a silly comment one time.

He's 1067 like, how do you swing the way that you 1068 swing with?

Seeing some of the swings that 1069 you see?

I'm like, Well, if I just looked 1070 at a golf swing and it changed mine, I was 1071 like I'd swing like Tiger Woods, because 1072 that's all I would watch.

Um, what are the 1073 three or four most common faults?

I'm kind 1074 of a Simpleton, to be honest with you, 1075 when I look at a golf swing.

And when I 1076 start diagnosing what people are doing, I 1077 really want to try to get down to brass 1078 tacks.

What's going on?

But I know that 1079 there's always a domino effect, all right, 1080 and so let's just, I'm gonna, I'm gonna 1081 kind of walk through it.

First is going to 1082 be set up, what I see literally all the 1083 time is that somebody gets set up.

And 1084 they get a ton around this here and they 1085 get a lot of weight back on their feet 1086 right here.

So they get too deep into 1087 their heels, they get too much roundness 1088 in their thoracic spine, and their club 1089 gets really, really close to them 1090 Now, what do you think is going to happen 1091 from here?

1092 If I'm trying to hit a five on it, the 1093 first thing that I'm going to do is I'm 1094 going to typically start to go back out 1095 towards my toes and push out the club.

1096 So one of the first common fault that I 1097 usually see is the weight.

1098 That the weight gets too deep into the 1099 heels, you get too bent over, too squatty, 1100 and you're already having to play makeup 1101 from that position.

1102 Go code rest is that in the setup videos, 1103 but.

As you work through from chipping 1104 to pitching and on and on, that's all we 1105 talk about is getting the weight feeling 1106 proper right here.

So as you move your 1107 core, you can move your pressure 1108 correctly, move your weight correctly.

You 1109 can't do it here.

1110 Grip, I see all the time where somebody 1111 doesn't have it enough in the fingers, and 1112 even though they feel like they're in 1113 GOAT, they just have their hand turned 1114 this way, but they kind of have it in the 1115 lifeline of their hand instead of in the 1116 fingers.

Because you've really got to get 1117 it in the fingers.

1118 Yeah, quick tip on that is, take the hand 1119 like this, like people, I, I'll ask 1120 people, I'll be like, What did Chuck show 1121 you?

It's like, Well, take the hand like 1122 this and get the grip on.

They're like, 1123 Oh, now I feel it in the fingers.

Because 1124 most people just come at it to the side.

1125 And they get this and they're like, Hey, 1126 Craig, I got my v aimed at my shoulder, 1127 what's in your palm?

That doesn't do me 1128 any good.

You got to get it in the 1129 fingers.

Um, head motion off the ball, I 1130 see all the time the shoulders plane out 1131 and the head moves, and that's just 1132 pushing, with the left shoulder moving too 1133 much into flexion.

And so if you think of 1134 the hands webinar, 160 yard, eight iron.

1135 This motion of really making sure that you 1136 kind of have this kick start, so that you 1137 get the momentum and the weight and the 1138 core going.

Typically, that's going to fix 1139 the issue because you're prioritizing how 1140 you are moving versus moving the club, 1141 which that's why everybody does that.

1142 I'll give you one more.

Three or four more 1143 is common faults I see.

1144 That's another real good one.

1145 I want to be supination.

1146 It'd just be shoulder spin.

1147 I think that I've made a career on trying 1148 to help players with this trail shoulder 1149 that once you move into side bend into 1150 extension, that 1151 This, that's what everybody thinks is 1152 power, and that kind of goes back to my 1153 effortless power thing.

If you have an 1154 impact bag, go to the top.

I don't care if 1155 you do two hands or one hand.

Go to the 1156 top like this, and all I want you to do is 1157 drive your right shoulder or trail 1158 shoulder into the bag as hard as you can, 1159 and then I want you to leave your trail 1160 shoulder here and let this club snap, and 1161 you tell me which one's faster.

1162 I mean, I would say that's the biggest one 1163 is that everybody thinks that this is the 1164 power source.

I was taught it was the 1165 power source.

1166 Once you get it back there, 1167 once you get your trail shoulder behind 1168 you, so once you get your scapular 1169 movement and you get here, leave it there.

1170 As you move into side bend, it's not going 1171 this way.

It's not driving.

1172 Downswing, there is no kind of turn in the 1173 downswing.

It's just a.

It's a tilt as 1174 my hips are going this way.

So that's that 1175 trail shoulder drive.

That's in all the 1176 videos.

And that's a lot of the reason why 1177 we have you start so early with chipping 1178 and pitching and all that, getting that 1179 core going, is so that you get out of 1180 this.

1181 That is a death move.

Nobody on tour does 1182 that.

Nobody.

1183 Let's see.

1184 Always struggled.

1185 with combining getting power and not 1186 having the hips over rotate and getting 1187 really long arms in the back.

So can you 1188 talk details about the feel should be for 1189 the lower body load and going back?

Well, 1190 I think that's the easiest way to kind of 1191 feel that.

And this is a little bit of 1192 exaggeration.

If I were to feel like my 1193 leg was kinked in this way, and then I 1194 tried to coil, I'm going to really feel.

1195 That kind of spiral, I'm going to feel my 1196 adductors right here and I try to sit back 1197 into this glute now.

This is an 1198 exaggeration, okay, but if I do that, I'm 1199 going to really kind of feel how I start 1200 to kind of torque into that leg.

Because 1201 more often than not, the players they're 1202 trying to rotate as they load and they go 1203 like this.

They let this knee go this way 1204 and when they get into this position, they 1205 start rotating so they don't feel any 1206 load.

1207 So what I like to do is I like to get this 1208 kind of kinked in a little bit, but feel 1209 just a little exaggeration that the knee 1210 stays pointed towards the target and gets 1211 your hip deep.

And when you do that, 1212 you're going to really feel it.

1213 You're going to feel how this kind of 1214 really torques into those adductors right 1215 there, and I can really feel it in the 1216 glute.

1217 Can you quickly explain how to use the 1218 trail of leg properly?

Well, I think we 1219 did that.

1220 I guess I'm trying to decipher if I move 1221 from the trail glute to lead glute to pull 1222 back and post, which feels rotational, or 1223 if I should be moving laterally by 1224 shifting from my trail glute and then 1225 pulling with the adductors with the lead 1226 leg.

The adductors are going to be 1227 pulling, 1228 all right?

1229 So the adductors are going to be pulling.

1230 But I still, that goes back to a couple 1231 webinars ago, is that as I go to here, If 1232 I'm trail side, I get my foot like this.

1233 If I start squishing the bug, 1234 all right, so what's going to happen if I 1235 squish the bug from this position?

1236 If I squish the bug from this position, 1237 you can see how that's driving my hip back 1238 right here.

1239 I'm not really having to think about like 1240 making this lead leg work into that.

It's 1241 because this is driving, this is creating 1242 my brace right here.

1243 I'm driving this into it.

And there was a, 1244 I don't know if y 'all watched that 1245 podcast that Chuck did with Mark Emmelman.

1246 And he asked him, 1247 well, what do you feel?

Chuck's like, 1248 well, I feel this combined with this.

1249 Like if I could tell you what the golf 1250 swing feels like, this is what it feels 1251 like is this.

And so the same thing, if 1252 I'm getting that with that supination, 1253 I'm still just doing this all of my trail 1254 side.

So are those lead side muscles still 1255 working and firing 100 %?

1256 Let them work the way that they need to, 1257 especially if you just get the proper 1258 footwork, that'll automatically make it 1259 happen.

1260 Most common causes of hitting it out of 1261 the toe, that's going to be getting steep.

1262 Two most common causes of hitting it out 1263 of the toe is that you're pushing from 1264 this side, which is causing more of an.

1265 Out to end swing plane, so it pushes it 1266 out towards the toe.

The second thing is 1267 going to be you trying to manually rotate 1268 the face, and so when you start trying to 1269 manually rotate the face.

Too much, this 1270 toe starts out racing the heel too soon, 1271 so especially if you go like this, that's 1272 going to typically be the most common for 1273 the toe.

1274 The club head moves first by the hands and 1275 arms, the bodies following along.

The one 1276 -piece takeaway is not the way to go.

I 1277 feel the one-piece takeaway is why my 1278 head moves off the ball.

But what makes it 1279 feel not one piece to you?

1280 That would be my question.

To me, it still 1281 feels like a one-piece takeaway, right?

1282 Because I don't feel like I'm like, okay, 1283 set my wrist, do this, do that.

I'm not 1284 trying to put the.

To me, even when I'm 1285 going like this, it feels like I'm just 1286 moving one piece.

Like all I'm doing is 1287 just taking my weight and core, and that's 1288 winding me over to here.

So the club head 1289 moves first by the hands and arms, and the 1290 body is following along.

Well, what's the 1291 first trigger?

I'm triggering this way?

1292 I'm not winding my arm right and then 1293 trying to get into the side.

What am I 1294 doing first?

1295 Getting into this side, getting my core 1296 going, letting that follow along.

I think 1297 where players get off on the one-piece 1298 takeaway is they're still trying to put 1299 the club in position.

They're trying to 1300 find certain set position.

1301 If you solely just shift your weight and 1302 rotate, I'm almost right there.

I haven't 1303 done anything with this yet.

That's just 1304 using the momentum.

Of shifting weight and 1305 rotating my core a little bit.

So I don't, 1306 I don't, I understand what you're saying 1307 with the question, but to me, it feels one 1308 piece.

Because I don't feel like I'm 1309 trying to make my arms do one thing 1310 independently of my body, I'm saying, hey, 1311 load and rotate arms.

You just follow 1312 along with that kind of goes the same spot 1313 every time.

Could you please show how the 1314 right trail hand supinates on the 1315 downswing to and through impact?

1316 So this is an exaggeration.

You're not 1317 going to be like that in your golf swing.

1318 It goes clockwise.

1319 As I go clockwise and move into side bend, 1320 I'm going to get into GDP, let that 1321 pronate.

The only reason I'm going through 1322 that one a little fast is we've covered 1323 that.

1324 In the right shoulder drop, how much of 1325 the angle between the right upper arm and 1326 right forearm should be intact?

Okay.

1327 I guess it's a fault to straighten the 1328 right arm too early.

Yes.

So if you get up 1329 here towards the top and you straighten 1330 your right arm too soon, we don't want to 1331 do that.

1332 So is the goal to maintain most of the 1333 angle?

How do we do that?

Well, it's not 1334 about just maintaining most of the angle.

1335 Because when I get here and I get set up 1336 into position right here and I start to 1337 drop my trail arm and my core is moving, 1338 this kind of pendulum action of rotating 1339 and driving, that's what's maintaining 1340 this.

It's kind of like the old adage with 1341 lag.

If you try to hold lag, you're never 1342 going to have it.

Same thing with this.

1343 You're not trying to just get up here and 1344 be like, okay, I've got my trail arm 1345 structure right here.

Hold, hold, hold, 1346 hold, hold.

You'll never do it if you're 1347 trying to hold it.

1348 The only way that's going to be maintained 1349 is if it's part of a movement.

I've got to 1350 still have.

this core and this pivot as 1351 I'm feeling my throwing action maintain 1352 this.

And as you start to come down, it is 1353 going to start to straighten to get an 1354 impact right here.

But I think it's kind 1355 of, you're going to put yourself behind 1356 the eight ball in almost any part of the 1357 swing.

1358 If you're trying to hold something like, 1359 all right, I'm going to get up here to the 1360 top.

And when I get into this position, 1361 I've got this angle.

1362 All right.

So I've got the elbow, right 1363 forearm, right wrist, trail.

1364 And I'm going to try to hold it into this 1365 position.

1366 If I get all that tension, that's not how 1367 it's done.

This is in a movement.

It's 1368 because my trail shoulder, my trail scap's 1369 moving down.

As I'm pivoting back to this 1370 and supinating, all of that is what's 1371 allowing this to not fire too soon.

1372 And it's the same thing that it comes, 1373 people ask this all the time.

If I'm 1374 throwing the club from the top, how am I 1375 not going to cast?

1376 Good question.

But that's a cast a throw 1377 as I start to go this way.

My first motion 1378 is supination, The supination is going to 1379 help maintain the proper radial deviation.

1380 Okay, so as I'm supinating, that's going 1381 to be how I'm maintaining that angle 1382 correctly as I'm feeling the throw.

1383 Because I'm not just getting here and 1384 going straight and older deviation right 1385 here.

Because the supinating is going to 1386 maintain the radial deviation until it 1387 gets to a point of no return to where it 1388 has to start to work out, and I have to 1389 move an ulnar deviation coming down.

So 1390 the supination portion, as I'm starting to 1391 come down, is going to be how I maintain 1392 this angle until it's time for this to 1393 whip through.

1394 So the difference in the cast and the 1395 throw, the cast is just taking the wrist 1396 and being like, all right, I'm just 1397 casting it out.

I'm going to go straight 1398 into ulnar deviation right here.

1399 Same thing.

I'm not trying to take my arm 1400 and throw my arm out as hard as I can.

1401 I'm focusing on my scapular movement and 1402 my supination as I'm going this way.

1403 That's going to be how I retain this.

1404 That's going to be how I retain this.

1405 Because it's some forces of physics and 1406 some function of bioanatomy right there 1407 that this can't happen.

If I'm going like 1408 that fast.

1409 It's going to be really hard for me to 1410 create a soup in a cast like that unless 1411 I've done some training for it.

1412 Let's see.

1413 We're a little bit over time.

1414 We already did the thrusting of the back 1415 knee.

Okay, so I'll do this one and then 1416 I'll do a couple questions.

1417 Can you demonstrate the thrusting of the 1418 back knee on the downswing?

We already did 1419 that.

But to show, this is what I think 1420 the important part is, 1421 but to show how it doesn't cause early 1422 extension, because that's something that 1423 players think all the time.

If I'm pushing 1424 a ton from my trail side, I'm going to 1425 create early extension.

Well, yeah, if 1426 you're pushing this way.

Remember, this 1427 pivot, if I'm driving this way, 1428 You have to think about your hips.

Do I 1429 have any?

1430 We'll do it this way.

1431 All right, Mr.

Chair.

1432 So here are my hips, obviously.

So I've 1433 got my hips.

1434 My pockets are around this, and if you 1435 even think like the old clamshell.

So as 1436 I'm starting to pivot through and get up 1437 here towards the top, and I start to drive 1438 with my trail hip.

1439 early extension is going to be my trail 1440 hip driving this way, all right?

So my 1441 spine, my hips all get that kind of puppy 1442 dog humping the fire hydrant look, okay?

1443 This pivot is driving this way, not this 1444 way, this way.

So as I start to squish the 1445 bug, my trail butt cheek has to come away 1446 from that chair.

But what'd you see with 1447 this chair when I did that?

1448 Where's my lead butt cheek?

This is 1449 driving my lead butt cheek back.

So this 1450 one's going to come away from it.

1451 As long as this is getting deeper, there's 1452 no problem.

I'm pivoting this way.

1453 What people do is they attack it this way.

1454 They start firing this way, and they get 1455 up out on their toes, and both toes are 1456 up.

Watch my feet right here.

As I pivot 1457 from my trail foot, 1458 Where's the pressure of my lead foot 1459 going?

1460 As I pivot from here, the pressure of my 1461 lead foot's going where?

1462 It's moving this way.

So as my pressure's 1463 going back towards my heel on my lead foot 1464 and I'm pivoting here, if I threw 1465 everything out towards the toes, now I'm 1466 in trouble, all right?

But remember, this 1467 is driving this way, not this way.

It's 1468 like this.

1469 So as I do that, what is it?

What's this 1470 hip doing?

1471 I haven't thought about this hip once 1472 doing this.

1473 I'm pivoting this, which is pivoting this 1474 hip back.

So my trail butt cheek's going 1475 to come away, but my lead butt cheek's 1476 getting deeper, which is now doing what to 1477 my spine?

1478 It's getting that old proverbial covering 1479 the chest, covering the ball.

All right?

1480 Okay.

1481 So now.

That I've done all the lifting I 1482 need to do for the day after lifting that 1483 chair.

I think that's it.

I can't tell 1484 time right now, but um, remember two 1485 points we got another couple Wednesdays of 1486 this.

Put your questions in the community.

1487 I think I only have one and a half pages 1488 left right now in the community, so you 1489 got a pretty high chance of getting your 1490 question answered.

1491 Secondly, and I'll put up here on the 1492 board, 1493 still, if you want, I'm a terrible 1494 salesman, but I'm not trying to sell you 1495 anything.

I'm trying to help you.

1496 I have half off of my unlimited and a 1497 discount on live lessons, and I will put 1498 that on the screen now.

Please, if you're 1499 struggling, let me help you, okay?

1500 Please, let one of our other instructors 1501 help you, please, all right?

1502 I'm not doing it for anything other than 1503 the fact I want everybody to be happy in 1504 life and golf.

1505 Thank you again for giving me an 1506 opportunity to help you out.

I'm going to 1507 stay for about five or 10 minutes.

I'd 1508 like to try to keep the questions 1509 pertaining to tonight's episode.

I'm sure 1510 I'm going to get a couple of questions 1511 about the 8-iron.

1512 But thank you again.

I hope that you got 1513 something out of tonight.

1514 We've got two more sessions to my 1515 knowledge.

1516 If you want to hang around.

If not, replay 1517 will be posted as early as I can get it on 1518 the board.

And thank you again.

I hope 1519 tonight's session was helpful.

1520 And if you want to stick around, I'm going 1521 to answer a couple questions.

1522 And you'll see on the screen, if you want 1523 to do a live lesson or Jumpin' Unlimited, 1524 it's there for you.

1525 So I'm going to go back, see if I can get 1526 any questions.

1527 All right.

1528 I'm going to start.

1529 If I didn't see anything, my apologies.

1530 I'm going to tell you where I'm going to 1531 start.

So if your question was above that.

1532 Let's see.

1533 I supinate fine, but at contact, the face 1534 seems really open, but thin shut.

So why 1535 would the face be super open at contact?

1536 So if you're working down into position 1537 into here and the face is super open at 1538 contact, more than likely what you're 1539 doing is you're trying to drive your 1540 shoulders through, which is leaving the 1541 club open.

And so as you move into side 1542 bend and you move into this position, you 1543 have to start allowing this snap to 1544 happen.

And if you're pushing with the 1545 shoulder, pushing with the arm, or even 1546 pushing with the hip this way, it's going 1547 to leave the face a little bit open.

1548 Thank you, Charles.

I appreciate that.

1549 Thank you, Malcolm.

1550 I hope y 'all are enjoying this.

1551 I'm up here fighting for y 'all.

1552 I'm from Georgia.

I can say y 'all.

It's a 1553 word.

It's like ain't.

1554 David, Chuck say the core needs to outrun 1555 the arms through the ball and the arms 1556 need to come along for the ride.

Can you 1557 please demo that?

So that kind of goes 1558 back to the same thing that I was showing 1559 you with Tiger, David, is that.

As I'm 1560 moving into position, so let's just take 1561 that eight iron shot.

As I'm moving into 1562 position, my core is still driving this 1563 way.

I'm not spinning my shoulders.

But 1564 think about it.

As I'm driving my core and 1565 I'm working into here, the core is still 1566 driving.

And that kind of goes back to 1567 what I was saying earlier about braking or 1568 slamming on the brakes or stalling.

He's 1569 saying don't stall the core too soon.

The 1570 core has to.

1571 Keep driving because like look at where my 1572 belly button is pointing right now And 1573 what we see is a lot of players is they're 1574 like, Oh, my core is now done, But the 1575 hands take over and their cores now.

I 1576 mean, my belly button right now is pointed 1577 like two degrees behind the golf ball.

And 1578 what he's saying is is the core?

Keeps 1579 driving through here to lead the way 1580 through the release.

You don't just all of 1581 a sudden just try to quit it and then snap 1582 the hands over really fast.

1583 Thank you, Mary, if I didn't say that 1584 earlier.

1585 Manny, 1586 putter grip.

1587 I'm going, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1588 Screen just jumped on me.

1589 Putter grip.

I'm going very strong based 1590 on the early go-koop.

Yeah, exactly.

1591 You've got to get it strong and in the 1592 fingers.

So when you're grabbing that 1593 putter, you've got to get it in the 1594 fingers.

1595 Very strong base so that this connection 1596 right here and this feel and feedback 1597 works with your core.

It has to be.

More 1598 often than not, it's either in the palm or 1599 too weak.

1600 Feels very uncomfortable when putting 1601 great.

Fantastic.

1602 Pressure from middle finger, index finger, 1603 and thumb.

1604 Peter, are you asking how much?

1605 Chuck says about 5 to 7 is what he's 1606 feeling.

1607 On a scale of 0 to 10.

1608 0 being the weakest, 10 being the 1609 toughest.

1610 Scott, I must have a fundamental error 1611 that magnifies with longer clubs.

I have 1612 mostly similar contact in ball flight with 1613 wedges through hybrids and fairway metal, 1614 but the longer club with specialty driver, 1615 my ball flight is substantially lower in 1616 moderate draws.

My instinct in self 1617 -videos makes me think that I'm swinging 1618 flatter with longer clubs, but I don't 1619 seem to rectify this.

with varying 1620 uprighting changes.

How stupid am I?

1621 You're not stupid.

Golf is more stupid 1622 than you, Scott.

1623 All right.

Don't.

That's not you.

So let 1624 me try to get a mostly similar contact 1625 ball flight wedges.

1626 The club, especially driver, my ball 1627 flight is substantially lower in moderate 1628 draws.

Yeah, it could be that you're 1629 swinging flatter.

1630 All right.

1631 I'm going to take a shot in the dark too.

1632 Just more specifically to the wood, it's 1633 not going to be everybody's case.

1634 You don't create the launch.

1635 So set up, getting into position, you're 1636 catching the ball at a different time.

And 1637 I see this a lot when players are trying 1638 to create speed with their woods or longer 1639 clubs, is they start trying to create the 1640 lift.

And if they're making a somewhat 1641 halfway decent swing and they're trying to 1642 create it, they start kind of hitting it 1643 off the bottom of their club.

Like this, 1644 and they start kind of getting a groove or 1645 two low, so they start hitting it kind of 1646 really low.

And they're not getting the 1647 pop on it.

Because you're not getting that 1648 proper release and catching it on that 1649 upward angle, you're trying to lift it, 1650 but you're lifting it with some angle.

1651 You're not like having a cast or anything.

1652 Let the club, in the position of where 1653 you're catching the ball, get it in the 1654 air.

To me, you're trying to lift it.

It's 1655 actually giving you the opposite effect.

1656 Hey, Kevin, thank you.

I appreciate that.

1657 I can't say that.

Not where I am.

1658 Chris.

1659 Thank you, Chris.

I appreciate it.

Go 1660 Pacers.

1661 Pete, on the downswing, is the index and 1662 thumb involved?

If so, 1663 how much?

They're involved.

I mean, 1664 remember your middle fingers, your 1665 fulcrum, and you're getting a lot of 1666 feedback from those.

1667 But I'm, I'm still, I'm not gonna, I'm not 1668 gonna say.

Anybody's a little bit more 1669 important than the middle finger.

But as 1670 I'm starting to come down right here, 1671 obviously I can feel the feedback of what 1672 my thumb's doing and what my index finger 1673 is.

I'm trying to control, or lack of 1674 control, the face this way.

So I really 1675 don't control a whole bunch of anything 1676 during this, but I don't.

I wouldn't say 1677 do a 10 with the thumb and one with the 1678 next finger.

I just kind of would feel 1679 this whole unit as being like a five to 1680 seven.

1681 Like everybody, the middle finger right 1682 here, the index, this, they're all, they 1683 all have their role coming into it.

I want 1684 to put, emphasize on one or the other.

1685 Like more pressure and I think about it as 1686 a unit.

1687 How to stop flipping.

Why do you think 1688 you're flipping?

1689 Most players are flipping because of push, 1690 but most players are flipping.

Because 1691 they stall out their rotation too soon.

1692 Okay.

1693 So I used to say this all the time, like 1694 in lead side players.

Most players flip a 1695 lead side swing because they don't have 1696 enough rotation.

1697 It's more than likely the same thing with 1698 your flipping.

So if you're coming down 1699 here and you're flipping it like this.

So 1700 we're adding too much flexion in the wrist 1701 too soon.

What I would do is I would get 1702 here.

1703 overcooked, letting your core come 1704 through.

If this is still driving, if this 1705 is still rotating, it's going to be really 1706 hard to get your core rotating and fire 1707 that, in fact, I think it would blow out 1708 my back.

You need to get a couple in there 1709 where you're getting core, getting it 1710 back, and really get that core coming 1711 through.

1712 If I'm starting to supinate right here, my 1713 core is rotating through, I'm going to 1714 really turn off that flipping.

It's more 1715 than likely you're stopping and trying to 1716 steer the face.

1717 Uh, just going through GoAt.

Trying to 1718 focus on supinating trail elbow back 1719 through impact, but hitting it block 1720 right?

If you're blocking it right, wait a 1721 minute, trying to focus on not supinating 1722 the trail elbow through impact.

Well, you 1723 get to a point where it has to pronate 1724 over, but it still goes back to the block, 1725 right.

Is usually going to be either.

1726 You're pushing this way and so as you're 1727 trying to supinate, 1728 You start pushing towards the ball, so you 1729 get into a little bit of early extension, 1730 so you get a little bit even too shallower 1731 right here, and you can't get the club to 1732 catch back up.

1733 Am I missing the wrist release, strengthen 1734 the grip more?

Well, you need the strong 1735 grip, Manny.

1736 The grip stays the same.

You need the V 1737 going towards the trail shoulder socket in 1738 the correct position right here.

If you 1739 have the grip in that position, I would 1740 still think that your block right there as 1741 you're coming through, you're probably 1742 pushing a little bit more towards the ball 1743 and spinning out at the same time.

So 1744 you're getting a little bit of early 1745 extension and trying to open.

And so this 1746 doesn't have a chance.

As I start to get 1747 here and pivot and drive, you have to 1748 start to get the feel for how this club is 1749 going to have that rotation and pronation 1750 or pronation and rotation coming through.

1751 That's why we start with those one arms.

1752 Most of the pressure is, Peter, in that 1753 middle finger, but there's other things 1754 that have the job.

1755 Mark, sorry I missed the webinar.

No 1756 worries, no worries.

Did you cover the 1757 lordosis question?

1758 If so, I'll watch.

So you're not going to 1759 watch the video if there was no lordosis 1760 question?

I don't remember talking about 1761 it.

Let me go to my list right here.

1762 Low doses.

1763 You're going to be next week, Mark.

1764 You're like six questions away.

1765 That's not an excuse to not watch this 1766 replay.

That hurts my feelings, Mark.

1767 You're not going to watch it if you're 1768 questioning, come on, that hurts my 1769 feelings.

1770 I'd check out your swings.

1771 Johnny, would you use the pressure shift 1772 laid out in the 160-yard video on wedges 1773 between 50 and 100 yards?

What do you 1774 mean?

1775 In a 50 to 100-yard wedge shot, I'm 1776 really not going to have a ton of lateral 1777 motion back this way.

So as I'm hitting 1778 like a little 80-yard or 100-yard wedge, 1779 I don't have a ton of weight this way.

1780 I'm already here, but I'm also not trying 1781 to really hammer a big post.

The motion's 1782 still the same, but I don't have a ton of 1783 lateral this way.

I mean, that's my 1784 yardage for that.

I mean, if you look at 1785 the 80-yard wedge video, you're going to 1786 see Chuck moving through these positions, 1787 but it's still the same.

1788 So I guess the easiest way to answer your 1789 question, Johnny, it's the same.

1790 But for me, if I'm trying to hit a little 1791 80-yard wedge shot, my stance is like 1792 this.

I don't really shift a whole bunch 1793 of weight because I can hit that 80 yards 1794 and flight it the way that I want.

1795 You're already on my bad list, Mark.

1796 You're already on my bad list.

1797 But yes, Johnny, do the same, and 1798 especially for you.

I'm not trying to call 1799 you out in front of the group or anything 1800 like that, but your major issue, all 1801 right, as you get up here towards the top 1802 is the premature, getting the vertical 1803 force, posting, premature posting, what 1804 have you.

1805 I would tell you a thousand percent on 1806 everything that you do, focus on that.

1807 especially for your swing.

And that kind 1808 of goes back to my conversation from 1809 earlier.

You have to kind of, you need to 1810 know what your big problem is.

And with 1811 your issue of you wanting to already, I 1812 would really put a lot of emphasis on 1813 that.

So as you start to drive, we can 1814 work on getting that spine angle better so 1815 you can get that on your shots.

1816 No problem, Glenn.

1817 Bill, thanks.

No problem.

No more 1818 questions.

I'll leave one more.

Whoever 1819 posted first.

1820 Then I've got to go do reviews and 1821 community posts and socials.

We've got all 1822 sorts of stuff going on today.

1823 No questions?

1824 All right.

So I shouldn't have to do any 1825 reviews.

1826 If there's no questions, then everybody 1827 should be scratched by now.

I should just 1828 be able to just move on.

1829 Go tackle.

Baseball or something.

Figure 1830 another sport.

1831 Can't pop without flipping.

1832 Can't pop without flipping.

1833 I'm confused.

Can't pop without flipping.

1834 I'll give you a second, BT.

1835 If you can elaborate just a little bit 1836 more, I'll try to answer that one.

1837 But then I got to let everybody go eat 1838 their dinner or leave work or make sure 1839 the kids haven't started a fire in another 1840 room and everybody's got all sorts of 1841 things going on.

1842 Can't pop without flip.

Not sure what that 1843 1844 Save it for next time.

1845 See if you can elaborate on that a little 1846 bit for me and I'll see what I can do for 1847 you.

But with that being said, we got two 1848 more sessions.

1849 Get your questions in.

1850 I will answer them to the best of my 1851 ability, and we will get this goat code 1852 thing finito.

1853 I tend to flip in the downs.

Same thing, 1854 BT, that I was talking about.

If you're 1855 flipping in the downswing, put the 1856 priority, A, on getting the supination 1857 inside of it, but B, getting your core 1858 going.

1859 The flip is going to be the push.

There's 1860 a manual takeover of your arm pushing.

1861 There's a manual takeover of something.

1862 Caught your arm pushing?

It's causing the 1863 club to flip, feel the soup and get this 1864 going.

Think about like an underhanded 1865 softball pitch.

If I were going to go here 1866 and throw and I was going this way, I'm 1867 going to leave it in supination.

As my 1868 core body drives through right here, right 1869 at the end, that's going to be the 1870 release, so you're doing something 1871 manually with that push right there here.

1872 All right, bye Craig.

See you, Richard.

1873 Richard's a good guy.

He's in my unlimited 1874 group.

1875 He's been putting in some work.

1876 All right.

Thank you very much, everybody.

1877 I'm going to hit the showers and hit the 1878 work and all that stuff, and I will see y 1879 'all next Wednesday.

1880 Thank you, Andrew.

I appreciate that.

1881 Derek, absolutely start with the putting.

1882 I promise you by the time you get with 1883 putting and chipping, you're going to 1884 understand way more of what you need to do 1885 in the golf swing than any full swing 1886 lesson.

1887 Thank you, Glenn.

1888 Have a good one.

I am out.

See you next 1889 Wednesday.
