WEBVTT 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.
