1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.839
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. I'm
2
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:04.299
your instructor, Chris Tyler. And today,
3
00:00:04.580 --> 00:00:06.759
I've got an exciting video that's gonna
4
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:09.400
help you start getting your driver to
5
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:11.039
produce way more speed than you ever
6
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:11.740
thought you had.
7
00:00:14.179 --> 00:00:15.400
And you're gonna be cooking with some
8
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:15.880
fire here.
9
00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:22.940
Ooh, baby, that was the best one of the
10
00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:23.300
day there.
11
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.399
Okay, so I'm gonna teach you guys how to
12
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:32.859
get this drill set up first, and then
13
00:00:32.859 --> 00:00:33.920
we're gonna get right into the nitty
14
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.719
gritty. So, first thing I want you to do
15
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:37.439
is just tee up a golf ball. Okay, it's
16
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:38.420
gonna be your reference point.
17
00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:41.140
Then we're gonna put a line directly in
18
00:00:41.140 --> 00:00:42.280
front of the golf ball that's gonna be
19
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.619
pointed down the target line. You're
20
00:00:44.619 --> 00:00:46.100
gonna be standing parallel to that line.
21
00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:48.619
This other line that I have down on the
22
00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:50.140
ground is gonna be pointed off to right
23
00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:52.280
field about 45 degrees or so. Don't
24
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:53.500
overthink it, just get pointed off to
25
00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:55.219
right field a little bit. Now, I know a
26
00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:56.900
lot of you at home are thinking, 45
27
00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:58.700
degrees, Chris, that's a lot. That's
28
00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:00.579
gonna produce a big old block or a big
29
00:01:00.579 --> 00:01:02.939
old hook. I'm not gonna argue that. Path
30
00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:04.120
plays a very important role with the way
31
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:05.060
the golf ball's gonna fly.
32
00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:08.120
But also on top of that face angle, which
33
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.859
is 85% of your golf shot's DNA,
34
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:12.819
is gonna play a much bigger role.
35
00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:15.980
So if you do these three things that I'm
36
00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:16.920
gonna teach you to do
37
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.239
with your trail arm and your golf swing,
38
00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:21.439
and you sync it up to what your lead hip
39
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.260
is doing, then you've got a really good
40
00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:24.280
chance to be able to produce some good
41
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.180
speed and be able to hit that high draw
42
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:27.840
that you've always been looking for. So
43
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:29.099
the way that you're gonna do this drill
44
00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:32.079
is you set up parallel to the line
45
00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:34.299
that's in front of your ball, right?
46
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.599
That's going right down your target line.
47
00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:36.859
You're gonna widen your base up a little
48
00:01:36.859 --> 00:01:37.060
bit,
49
00:01:37.639 --> 00:01:38.939
and you're gonna have your ball position
50
00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:40.980
off of your left instep, okay?
51
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:43.299
Now, from this position, what I want you
52
00:01:43.299 --> 00:01:43.579
to do
53
00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:45.700
is I want you to take your right hand and
54
00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:47.900
right arm at address, and I want you to
55
00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:49.519
start making some little small swings.
56
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.079
And I want you to think about first,
57
00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:53.700
the left hip pulling back and away from
58
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:54.200
the golf ball.
59
00:01:55.039 --> 00:01:56.680
And as that's happening, what you want to
60
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.959
do is you want to try to feel your right
61
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:03.159
hand and right arm work down the line
62
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:04.319
that's pointed out to the right here.
63
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.019
It's gonna feel really, really wacky.
64
00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:09.800
Now, in order to get your arm to do that,
65
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:11.379
your shoulders would have to be doing
66
00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:12.479
something a little bit different here.
67
00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:14.319
Why do you think I'm not talking to you
68
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.000
about your shoulders or your spine or
69
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.879
your axis tilt? Well, because again, that
70
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:21.000
starts introducing
71
00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:24.039
all of the technical stuff that binds you
72
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.919
up in the first place. Think about that.
73
00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:27.919
We're trying to do a drill to simplify
74
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:29.860
things for you. We're trying to do a
75
00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:31.919
drill that's allowing you to feel freedom
76
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:32.500
of movement.
77
00:02:33.859 --> 00:02:36.020
So, the next piece to this is to now
78
00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:36.580
think about
79
00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:39.039
what drivers are set up to do these days.
80
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.819
What is a driver set up to do?
81
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.439
Well, this is the one club in our bag
82
00:02:44.559 --> 00:02:46.539
that's set up for positive angle of
83
00:02:46.539 --> 00:02:46.740
attack.
84
00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.759
We want to hit up on it. Even though a
85
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.919
lot of you at home that are sitting there
86
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.180
that have studied track band numbers
87
00:02:52.679 --> 00:02:55.000
would see that the PGA Tour average is
88
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.180
down 1.3 degrees.
89
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.699
I can assure you there's a bunch of those
90
00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:00.139
guys out there that are hitting up on the
91
00:03:00.139 --> 00:03:02.539
golf ball. Now, as amateur golfers, we
92
00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:04.240
need to take advantage of this modern day
93
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:05.919
technology because we just don't hit it
94
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.759
as far. And it's set up for very high
95
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.580
launch, very low ball spin. So, the way
96
00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:11.159
that we're gonna hit up on the golf ball
97
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:12.240
is we're gonna create more of an
98
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.319
ascending blow rather than a descending
99
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:14.639
blow.
100
00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:17.879
We could talk about the action that the
101
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.159
spine needs to do in order to be able to
102
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:19.520
help that.
103
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:21.819
And I'm not gonna do that though. We're
104
00:03:21.819 --> 00:03:24.120
gonna keep things focused on one part of
105
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.120
the body and not the shoulders, the
106
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.319
spine, all of that other stuff. We're
107
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.860
gonna just focus on what your right hand
108
00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:32.400
and right arm are doing. Now, when you do
109
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.379
these next few reps, after you've gone
110
00:03:34.379 --> 00:03:35.539
ahead and drilled your right hand and
111
00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:36.680
right arm working out towards right
112
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.120
field, Now, what I want you to feel is
113
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:39.960
that. By the time
114
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.360
your right hand and arm get to the golf
115
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:42.659
ball,
116
00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:45.259
is that your right wrist and forearm are
117
00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:46.840
gonna feel like it's working up towards
118
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:47.319
the sky.
119
00:03:48.420 --> 00:03:51.099
Well, Chris, that is going to produce a
120
00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:52.419
very high block.
121
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:54.520
Ball that will probably move off to the
122
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:55.400
right. Yes, it will.
123
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:57.960
This is where we add the final piece in.
124
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.259
Now, as your hand and arm are passing
125
00:04:00.259 --> 00:04:01.400
that golf ball
126
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.840
and working down, out towards right
127
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.180
field.
128
00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:07.539
There's a helicopter up here. There's
129
00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:08.479
helicopter tours available.
130
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.479
As you feel that right hand and right arm
131
00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:15.759
working out towards right field and
132
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.759
working up towards the sky, now you can
133
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.459
start letting your wrist and forearm
134
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:19.879
rotate.
135
00:04:20.780 --> 00:04:22.319
Okay, now you can see I'm just making
136
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.439
little small swings, right, but I'm doing
137
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.379
it with movement. My left hip's moving
138
00:04:26.379 --> 00:04:26.800
back.
139
00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:29.060
My right wrist and forearm are rotating.
140
00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:31.600
When you finish, your right wrist and
141
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.279
forearm, you shouldn't be over-rotated to
142
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.759
where your palm is facing completely down
143
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.519
to the ground. When you rotate it, it's
144
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.579
gonna be facing behind you. So if you had
145
00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:40.480
a club in your hands, it's gonna be toe
146
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.240
up to slightly toe left. That's it.
147
00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:46.319
So now, once you do these reps, and I'm
148
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.240
not gonna give you all a specific number
149
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.240
of reps that I want you to do, this is to
150
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.519
create feel. So some of you are gonna be
151
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.040
able to start feeling this three or four
152
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:53.319
reps.
153
00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:55.579
Some of you are gonna take 25 reps. Some
154
00:04:55.579 --> 00:04:57.060
of you are gonna take 100 reps. But the
155
00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:58.500
point is, is that you wanna continue
156
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:01.420
doing this drill till you feel all three
157
00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:03.360
components of the right arm extending
158
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.319
down the target line,
159
00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:07.399
the right arm, by the time it gets to the
160
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:08.839
golf ball, working up towards the sky,
161
00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:11.079
and now the right wrist and forearm
162
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:11.600
rotating,
163
00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:14.079
synced up with your left hip moving back
164
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:14.379
and away.
165
00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:16.379
Now, once you start getting the hang of
166
00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:17.519
it, you can see that I'm making the swing
167
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.319
a little bit longer and a little bit
168
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:19.759
faster,
169
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.879
okay? Now, I want you to really focus on
170
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:24.800
what your body is feeling,
171
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.759
okay? It's gonna feel weird,
172
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.639
okay? You're gonna feel what it's like to
173
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:32.620
have a shallower plane,
174
00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:35.579
a shallower angle of attack, and a lot
175
00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:36.639
more club face rotation.
176
00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:39.180
Now, let's bring the golf club back in
177
00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:39.439
the mix.
178
00:05:40.020 --> 00:05:41.699
Same thing's gonna apply. Let's remove
179
00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:44.300
the ball out of here for a few swings.
180
00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:46.819
We're gonna start with some small swings
181
00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:48.139
at first. So, you're gonna set up
182
00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:49.800
parallel to this line. Don't cheat and
183
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.699
turn your body to where it's pointed out
184
00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:52.139
to the right,
185
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:53.839
okay?
186
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.060
So, small swings, it's gonna feel
187
00:05:57.060 --> 00:05:59.160
exaggerated. It's hard to get your hands
188
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.100
and arms to work out 45 degrees to the
189
00:06:01.100 --> 00:06:02.899
right, trust me. It's not going to work
190
00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:03.759
out that far in and out.
191
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:07.579
You're gonna have to kind of stand on
192
00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:09.019
your right side. So, that's why it's
193
00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:10.240
important that you sync this up with your
194
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.500
left hip, okay?
195
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.519
Okay, now I can start feeling it. Once
196
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.360
you start feeling it, bring the golf ball
197
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.120
back in there right away.
198
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.860
Why? Well, because again, we're here to
199
00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:24.319
drill,
200
00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:26.560
to create movement,
201
00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:28.660
to get the golf ball in the way of it.
202
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.259
That's why a lot of times, we never get
203
00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:31.699
these golf swings to the golf course.
204
00:06:31.860 --> 00:06:33.779
That's why people struggle all of the
205
00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:35.019
time. They think about all the technical
206
00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:38.060
aspects. This drill is designed to create
207
00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:39.899
a difference in sensation that's pretty
208
00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:41.980
radical, but also to give you a visual
209
00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:42.600
along the way.
210
00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:45.000
Once you have that visual, once you have
211
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:45.459
those feels,
212
00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:48.040
unlock it, uncap it, let it rock and
213
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.000
roll. Let's take a look at it now. All
214
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.240
right, boys and girls, let's go ahead and
215
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:51.759
give her a rip.
216
00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:56.060
Okay, so now,
217
00:06:57.100 --> 00:06:58.420
big thing I want you to remember is now
218
00:06:58.420 --> 00:06:59.480
that you've drilled this, I know it's
219
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.000
looking back into the sun, so everybody
220
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.839
at home, take a chill pill. I can't aim
221
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.180
where I was aiming, otherwise I would
222
00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:06.360
kill those golfers over there on the
223
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.060
right-hand side of the golf course. So
224
00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:09.180
I'm aiming it a little bit out into the
225
00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:11.879
range here. So remember, after you've
226
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:12.879
gone through this drill,
227
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.319
the whole point is to create a feel, to
228
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:18.639
create a visual of that feel,
229
00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:22.120
stay in movement and just let it fly,
230
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.259
right? Stay committed to your movements
231
00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.120
and you'll start seeing some really great
232
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:27.519
results, okay? So we're gonna go ahead,
233
00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:28.860
we've gone through the drill process,
234
00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:31.040
created that visual. Now I'm ready to
235
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.920
start letting things rock and roll. I
236
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.899
kind of have that line off to right field
237
00:07:34.899 --> 00:07:36.839
as my, my aid here.
238
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.439
As my right arm passes in front, I'm
239
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:40.579
gonna feel it working out towards right
240
00:07:40.579 --> 00:07:42.639
field. I'm gonna feel like it's moving up
241
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.160
towards the sky and I'm gonna feel my
242
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.139
wrist and forearm rotate.
243
00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:46.980
Good visual process.
244
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.399
And that is, that is good, let's do it
245
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:58.600
again.
246
00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:02.899
Probably don't need to swing out of my
247
00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:04.240
shoes like that to try to impress you
248
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:04.779
guys at home.
249
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.500
Just probably need to make a balance
250
00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:08.779
swing.
251
00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:11.899
Okay, so remember, I'm gonna feel my
252
00:08:11.899 --> 00:08:13.519
right arm and hand working out towards
253
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.560
right field, working up towards the sky,
254
00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:18.920
wrist and forearm rotating as it moves
255
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.639
by. Don't overthink it,
256
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:22.819
just feel it.
257
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.519
Ooh, man, I need to stay out here and
258
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.480
keep hitting balls. Let's do another one.
