Gravity Golf Lesson – (Full 2HRs) With Rick and Daniel

Learn Gravity Golf Step by Step – gravitygolf.com/membership/

Rick had always considered himself a decent golfer. He could hit the ball straight enough most of the time, and his handicap hovered around the mid-teens. However, he felt like he had hit a plateau in his game and was looking for something to take him to the next level. That’s when he stumbled upon Daniel Lee and Gravity Golf.

Daniel Lee, the “Drill Maestro” of Gravity Golf, had a unique approach to the game. He didn’t focus on swing mechanics or technique in the traditional sense. Instead, he emphasized the importance of dynamic alignment and the role of gravity in the golf swing. Intrigued by this unconventional approach, Rick decided to book a lesson with Daniel.

As Rick arrived at the practice range, he wasn’t sure what to expect. Daniel greeted him with a warm smile and immediately got to work. The lesson began with Daniel explaining the concept of dynamic alignment. He used the analogy of a geometric compass to illustrate how weight distribution affects alignment in the golf swing.

Daniel emphasized that the key to consistency in every shot lies in the ability to control one’s weight distribution. He explained that every professional golfer excelled because of their ability to consistently position their weight where it needed to be at impact.

To demonstrate this concept, Daniel used diagrams and visual aids to show how weight shift influences the direction of the ball. He explained that the golf swing is essentially a controlled fall, powered by gravity. By shifting the weight properly, golfers can generate power and control the direction of their shots.

Throughout the lesson, Daniel stressed the importance of tempo and rhythm in the golf swing. He explained that the brain defaults to familiar patterns, so it’s crucial to establish the right tempo early in the setup. This ensures that the body moves in sync with gravity, leading to more consistent shots.

By the end of the lesson, Rick felt like he had unlocked a whole new dimension in his golf game. Gravity Golf’s unique approach had opened his eyes to the intricacies of being able to feel tension coming out of his swing and the role of gravity that aids in that. He left the practice range feeling inspired and excited to put his newfound knowledge into practice on the course.

In conclusion, Rick’s golf lesson with Daniel Lee of Gravity Golf was a transformative experience. Daniel’s unconventional approach to the game challenged Rick’s preconceived notions and helped him see golf in a whole new light. With Daniel’s guidance, Rick gained valuable insights into the importance of dynamic alignment and learned how to harness the power of gravity to improve his golf swing. As he walked off the practice range, Rick felt confident that he was on the path to unlocking his full potential as a golfer.

so what we’re going to do is start off
with Dynamic alignment put that over
there and this is this is what we were
talking about before is that your your
weight is actually what’s controlling
your alignment so you ever use a
geometric
Compass uh geometric Compass so is the
the just yeah you put a point in the
middle and has a pencil on the end draws
a circle around it so alignment actually
works like that and what the center
point of the circle is is your your
center of gravity your center of mass so
that’s the same thing as your axis golf
has way too many terms that are the same
thing makes it confusing but what you’re
actually wanting to learn how to do this
is this probably the most important
thing as far as consistency goes in in
in every shot is being able to get your
weight in the spot that you want it to
be hands down across the board every
professional that you’re going to see
the reason that they’ve reached to the
level that they have is because of their
ability to get their weight into the
spot that they need it to be
consistently regardless of how efficient
their move is is something totally
different their ability though to be
able to feel where their weight needs to
be essentially is what is actually
working off of this geometry we’re
talking about
so the way that this works is you’ve got
that that Center Point in the
middle and here’s the object that we’re
making contact with right here there’s
our
ball and what actually happens
is when we’re swinging on an
arc
and we come around to make contact with
the ball so here’s this is representing
our swing
path this is just a really rough diagram
so here’s the circle that we’re working
on this is representing our balance
point our axis which is typically right
underneath our
head and what happens is whenever we
come around on this circle and we make
contact as long as our club face is grip
Square it’s not shut or open what’s
going to happen is that the ball gets
spit off at
90° from wherever our Center of weight
is so if I keep my weight right in the
center and I come come into
impact it gets it’s going to come off
90°
from where my weight is here
so if I move my weight back
all of a sudden this whole thing
shifts
and this this
new this new
alignment would be over here as my
weight shifts further
forwards also the alignment has changed
further to the
right so alignment is dynamic that that
way and it’s actually really important
that we start understanding
that we do want our weight to move
forwards we want to use that kinetic
energy it’s just like when we’re walking
that what’s the first move that we do
when we walk but your foot your weight
goes forward something happens before
that something allows you to do that
with
ease close your eyes and try and take a
step see if you can identify
it it’s really really really subtle I
fall forward a little bit exactly
exactly and that’s that’s the key is
being able to use gravity to carry
ourselves in the direction we want to go
so if you look at the amount of movement
that I
Fall to tiptoe
forwards very very subtle versus if I
was going into a Flatout
run see how much how much more fall
there is yeah so what you’re going to
notice is it’s it’s very similar in the
golf swing that the larger that the
swing that you make typically the more
lateral motion that you’re going to have
which is is that
fall so the tallest point in the swing
is at is at the beginning of the swing
from that point on we’re actually
falling out of
vertical and that’s what allows our
whole Mass to get into motion which is
creates that kinetic energy and that’s
what we’re looking to power our shots
with so as a byproduct of that it our
weight is moving further into our front
leg which causes the ball to be further
back which is changing that whole
alignment to the right so this circles
all the way back to when you’re actually
setting up your shot you’re talking
about focusing on a on a very specific
point the tempo that you have in your
mind is actually going to change the way
that you set up in your
alignment and you really want to have
that well defined otherwise your brain
is going to default to whatever power
source you’re used to using whatever
Tempo you’re used to using and if that
is different that doesn’t match up
with with where you want to go and all
of a sudden you you come into your shot
and you’re lunging at it and you start
you start firing at it your alignment
goes off to the right
either you’re going to go ahead and
release through and bail it off way
offline or what happens a lot of times
is your brain senses that your alignment
is going to be off it will throw the
brakes on and force you to try and pull
on it looking for
power so when you see someone hit a big
slice or a pull hook it’s actually
caused by the exact same
thing it’s caused by the alignment
ending up too far to the right
and then either continuing on through it
or it’s caused by having having that
exact same thing and your brain trying
to correct it last minute shoving your
weight backwards to keep that 90° and
then you overshoot it because now you
got all this leverage coming from the
top and it pulls you out of
balance so anytime that you start to
sense that
you’re losing that control control over
which direction that it’s going or the
amount that it’s going as
well that’s when you start to need to
have you need to make room for your
alignment moving further to the
right so I’ll just show a couple
examples here
so if I
take an alignment here say
it it’s going to make a nice soft swing
here so if I start off here here with my
my weight in the middle of my stance and
let’s say I try and keep my weight in
the middle of my stance you see that
that last little pole up there on the
hill behind the sand yes uh behind the
sand oh there’s there’s kind of that
sand up there on the hill oh yeah yeah
those two trees to the right of the sand
yeah yeah just right there so if I keep
my weight in the middle of my
stance I move just a little bit forwards
on
it so if I keep my weight in the middle
of my
stance see how it goes right at that
spot
yeah now I can take that exact same
alignment and watch how much further to
the right it’ll
start that’s a big difference right you
know I didn’t see it oh okay it was
going towards that red flag out there oh
okay that’s a big difference that’s a
big difference so and that is from the
exact same
setup and you you moved your alignment
right by having my weight shifted
farther into my left side okay so just
showing that the difference between
where your weight is at set up versus
where it is in Impact makes a big
difference wow in where it’s actually
going to start
interesting so understanding alignment
that way is is much different than
trying to focus on on this right here
yeah this and and as I think everybody
has seen you know even if you do this
over and over again the ball still can
end up in so many different places this
is
why it’s because it has to do with where
your weight is at
impact and that’s what relates to your
shot I’m just going to hit a few shots
right here
and
start off so I’m going to use that that
blue flag as a wall down
there and show you a wall as a wall
right so my goal is to keep this to the
left of the blue flag so whenever I’m
starting off what I want to do is be
able to feel
that every day things are a little bit
different so every day my ability
to sense exactly how much movement that
I have in my swing it changes depending
on you know what’s going on physically
and what’s been going on
mentally essentially where the breath is
in my body just My overall tension
level it’s it’s something that’s always
in flux so I need to figure out early on
how much room I have to be able how much
room I need to be comfortable and moving
it so this BL one I’m going to go for
that that blue one here right there this
one here this one here
yep so I’m going to start off aiming
over here to the
left all right so it moved left to right
and it stopped moving to the right
before it covered before it went across
that blue flag it’s kind of hard to see
against the uh step back the background
yeah see it
see it better you see it from there so
you see that one was pretty straight so
you actually want to get used to
expecting your misses to be
straight and what
that what that does is it creates this
whole different different parameter to
work within so because when you start
really getting used to feeling how to
control your ball in the direction you
want it to go you’ll start finding that
when you mess it
up typically it’s because you didn’t
fall enough in the direction that you
wanted it to go rather than rather than
too
much and it just it creates this whole
different way to to kind of look at your
shots because if you’re expecting your
Mist to
be straight whenever you’re picking out
your shots it it gives you a lot more
context so say for instance there’s
water over on the left side and it’s
it’s safe coming up to the green on the
on the right side
then you’re going to be wanting to play
more of a draw and if it goes straight
it’s fine you know you still have a have
an easy up to the green right there if
if it draws in it’s just going to get
better and better yeah and that’s how
you start to to kind of pick out your
shots um so let’s talk a little bit more
what are you gonna say oh I just I’d be
picking straight and if it manages to
draw but I’m not even trying to do a
draw because I don’t know how to do it
reliably I would go straight away from
the water yeah well that’s good yeah
that’s good and and that’s kind of how
it how it how you want it to start now a
straight shot this is this is important
straight shot’s actually the hardest
shot in golf to hit intentionally
because everything is a dead heat you
don’t really feel that your hands are
necessarily gaining on the body or that
your your body is really leading
and everything has to be absolutely
timed up perfect to to hit a straight
shot as you get more and more dialed in
you start being able to feel how to work
it less and less but like I was saying
the way that you actually make it easier
is by learning to move the ball more
that’s what we’re going to talk about
right now is how to do
that so back to the
90° so let’s say I’m going
to start
off
here all right so if this is this is my
90° from
setup so I’ve got the weight in the
middle of my
stance up to the ball 90° out to the
left pretty much at that blue flag right
there okay so you’re you’re aiming right
and you got to draw it in I’m I’m
actually going to set up for a fade so
I’m going to show you how to do this so
I’m going to use that that yellow flag
down there can you see that yellow flag
sticking up oh way over here uhhuh I see
I’m going to use that as my wall okay
so now the way that the way that a fade
works we already know that the
alignment’s going to be moving to the
right as my weight moves forwards
correct so the way that we create the
spin is actually based off of the
direction that our body is falling
whenever we’re moving into that front
side so we’ve got the the amount that
we’re moving into
this and then the way that we move into
it as far as the direction that we’re
moving into it actually creates the spin
on the ball so for
instance if if I set up here so I’ve got
90° to to this
flag when I get up here and I start
moving this
way if I move to the right of this this
line This 90° line here that will
actually create a fade
path if I fall to the inside of
it that will create a draw path and I
don’t expect all this to be sinking in
right away it takes some repetition and
you know I had just read that on your
site one of your videos and I thought
that’s
interesting so this is great it’s it’s
really fascinating because it becomes a
feel thing so for instance it it’s some
point you you realize for hitting a fade
it’s just like aiming left and then
walking out to the right if you want to
hit a draw it’s aiming out to the right
and walking out to the left and your
body naturally starts moving more in
those directions and that that’s how we
start being able to to Really control
our balls just would you repeat that
again so let me just think so if I’m if
I’m trying to hit a a fade and I’m up
here you know thr the club up and now I
want to F I want to fall a little bit to
the right more as I Fall to make
it to make it more of an outside path to
make it a fade outside become more of
come come stand directly behind me here
so you can kind of see
it
so I’m going to start off just showing
you a fairly fairly straight shot which
means that I’m going to fall towards
this this initial
alignment and I actually put a little
bit of a fade on it little more than I
intended and this is honestly
that that’s the kind of stuff that we
deal with every day is our sensitivity
is always changing so there I fell a
little bit further right than I intended
and it created a fade had I actually
intended to fall more towards a fade I
probably would have hit even a bigger
fade just for where my sensitivity is at
the moment yeah for sure kind of getting
an idea of what’s going on all
right
still had a baby fade on it so I fell a
little bit closer towards my initial
line so this initial 90° so if I fall a
little bit more inside it should should
straighten
up all
right even
more
my neck was a little tight I’ve been
doing a lot of workouts lately and I
think I’m just a little bit on my toes
this
morning we go so you see how it starts
straightening out so each one of these
what I was doing is I was just kind of
Shaving off just a hair by hair falling
a little bit more this direction yeah
and the more that I do that
eventually after I fall far enough to
the
inside it’ll actually create create a
draw oh there was the straight shot with
a baby draw on it
yeah so let me
fall further to the inside and I’ll
create more of a
draw
you see it starts to turn over there
that I didn’t see so that
one that one moved maybe just maybe
about five yards right to
left we go do you see how it starts
bending that way yeah so I’m falling
more to the
inside so let’s go back to the fade here
and just stand right down the line see
if you can determine it’s really
difficult to see because it’s it’s the
difference between falling here versus
falling
here and that’s that would be straight
that’s that’s a draw this would be more
of a draw this would be a straight shut
that would be a fade very subtle it’s
hard for me to see but I get the idea it
is it is super subtle it is super subtle
and that’s why we actually want to we
want to learn it more of an extreme and
then learn to shave it back down yeah so
here I’m going to hit a bigger
fade you see how that’s bending a lot
from from left to right yes and that’s
just based off of
essentially when I’m coming through the
shot if I go ahead and just continue
walking
see I’m walking off to the right yeah so
if I wanted to hit a really big fade
essentially that’s all I’m having to do
is just walk off to the
right sorry about that that’s kind of
appreciate
it now if I wanted to hit a really big
draw it would be very similar on
the opposite
side
so I’m going to bring this all the way
back and I I kind of hesitated slightly
but you see how that I’m walking more to
the inside and all of a sudden it
creates that right to
left yes so you start becoming really
sensitive to as you’re turning as you’re
turning
back so as you’re turning here you start
becoming really sensitive to is your
body falling this way is it falling that
way exactly and there’s just those tiny
little discrepancies and it it can
become a very subtle move so it’s just
that much right you know it’s like do
you want to hit a fade do you want to
hit it straighter do you want to hit
more of a draw and see it goes this goes
more to the inside there and that
actually that controls a lot of your
your spin
and and everything there so really
subtle stuff interesting and you know
and by the way I brought a seven iron 2
if you want me to to try it yeah we
actually I’d like you to start with that
yeah’ be great and um I want you to
start off learning how to hit a high
soft draw is actually where we’re going
to start today that’d be perfect yeah
and and uh if I’m lining suppose I want
it you know uh if I wanted to initiate
in a certain direction mhm where would
you have me line up the the blade uh of
the club I mean so the blade you always
want to set up with the blade Square to
wherever your your weight is you don’t
want to really get in the habit unless
you’re you’re intentionally trying to
add Loft to it yeah you you don’t want
to be manipulating the blade in your
grip right so what you want to do is be
able to have
your have your setup essentially just
getting used to it being slightly left
of where you where you intend it to be
at the point of impact okay okay so it’s
like you’re like shooting ski right okay
it’s always moving in this direction
even when you’re hitting a draw so if I
say for instance I set up you see that
red flag down there yeah so if I set
up to I want to draw it to that that red
flag and I set up say I set up directly
at that at that red flag by the time
that I come into impact it’s going to be
starting it’s going to be starting
further right than that okay there
okay definitely went the right for sure
and then and then it started drawing
back to it right so what happened there
was my initial alignment was at the Red
Flag by the time that I moved into it it
changed the alignment you
know 10 15 yards to the right of it and
and when I fell so the same motion as
I’m as I’m moving into it that’s the
fall right there that’s the counter fall
the start of it I fell slightly to the
left of that initial alignment so I fell
slightly to the left of that red flag
and that’s why it created that draw path
that came back there interesting you
know and often when I’m hitting this is
a complicated as golf Gets By the way so
we’re kind of starting at the top and
then everything’s downhill from here
that works for me you know this is great
right on uh a lot of my shots you know
if I’m hitting well great they’re going
to go where I want but often I will hit
a push by you know 10 yards or whatever
10 15 yards sure and maybe that’s the
explanation part of the explanation
anyway yeah well so what happens is this
is this is onest probably the the
most common thing that you hear from
every modality is you’re coming over the
top yes that people up and say that you
hear that all the time and that’s that’s
what a push is it’s an it’s an
involuntary fade it wasn’t something
that you intended to do although it’s
not curving what I’m thinking is you
know sometimes I curve it and there’s a
fade and I can see the fade but
sometimes I’m just pushed or it’s a push
fade you know so it’s starting right
yeah and that’s that’s the com that’s
the case yeah I mean it’s the it’s the
combination most of the time what you’ll
see is uh especially when people are
starting off it starts as a push it
started further right than they intended
and then a lot of times it’s got a slice
on it yeah you know and that’s that’s
what you see if you’ve gotten to where
it’s it’s just a push where it just
starts further right and maybe has a
little fade on it yeah you’re ahead of
the curve
okay so that it’s just showing that
you’re you’re actually falling already
pretty close to a good spot yeah and you
just need to learn how to put that in
context like with the the picking the
right wall and the parameter right and
then as you you learn how to adjust the
direction that you’re falling and create
the right initial alignment all of a
sudden that starts fitting into the the
shot that you were intending to make
yeah so uh to to Circle back though what
the reason that so much of it is
involuntary has to do
with the difference between shifting
like this where you’re you’re using this
is like a Tai Chi move where you’re
learning how to turn to the right in
order to go to the left so right now I’m
turning to the right but my weight is
actually finishing this move to the
right by moving it’s a very passive move
see as I relax my whole left side is
relaxed right now so all the way down
here so what happens is as I finish the
turn my weight isov moving this
direction this is this is how I’m
controlling the vector in my body so
what happens with most people though
across the board and especially whenever
that transition gets fast it gets tight
up here we’ll talk about that certain
things that that cause a lot of
tension is they shift into the back
swing and then they start the
downswing by turning and shifting in to
their front side so what happens is you
start moving this way and immediately
all the the weight of the arms that that
10% of your body weight that’s in your
in your arms 7 to
10% starts creating a lot of centuple
force starts pulling you further off and
now your weight gets pulled out this
direction yeah so that’s why the common
Miss is a slice yeah is because
everybody is shifting into their back
swing into their in their back swing
they’re shifting into this back foot and
then they’re trying to shift into the
front foot in the down swing yeah so not
to mention they haven’t created enough
room you know far enough left for that
already but they’re getting pulled out
of balance and it’s pulling them towards
their toes and much more into a fade
path so as you’re which you already
demonstrated that you’ve been working on
this
being able to feel this is what my dad
called 21 timing so your weight goes to
the right and back to the left yeah with
one motion ah okay so this one motion
creates the the full weight
transfer and and controls your alignment
it does everything so I I do remember
you know cuz I’m just revisiting your
videos in the last like three days or so
you know uh
and show it’s all a crash course right
now yeah it’s like you know I did it
maybe a couple weeks ago and then again
just before and and I did remember that
it’s kind of a one Mo You’re Still Still
turning a bit M and while you’re
continuing to turn you’re beginning to
fall back so you’ve already you got your
weight over you know back
here and then you’re beginning to fall
before you’ve completed your turn a bit
it actually so what happens is as you’re
so right here this is as far to the
right as I can turn over my right leg so
what happens is as my weight starts
moving into my left see how my turn
freeze up a little bit more yeah so I
can turn deeper when I allow my weight
to fall back to the inside there that’s
the finish of the back swing that’s also
where the shoulders start to be able to
relax into it and drop so it’s just like
you’re you’re throwing it
up and as the arms are floating
up everything is is starting to fall
and you’re just you’re able to to time
it out so that as the body starts
falling your shoulders start dropping
and then everything just feeds right on
through makes sense should I get my
seven iron yeah yeah yeah grab your
seven iron good thing I brought it sand
in the driver perfect
perfect know I was uh if not I’ll would
let you use mine I I was watching you
know some of your free videos of uh
short game I was C I don’t know if you
or your dad was demoing this but uh I
was trying
my my uh chips and boy that was using
your body rotation rather than your arms
was really instructive and also your dad
had this thing about um you know know
The Yips I don’t know that I have them
but once in a while you know you really
screw up a chip sure and lengthening and
kind of turning that was really
interesting spooning is is fantastic
yeah that’s a it’s a where you put the
club right up next to the ball you stand
up tall you kind of go ahead and find
that find that spot to to turn
from I tried this from from here in a
while
interesting and you start learning how
to throw it from there I actually got to
where I could do this uh I could throw
it up to about a 100 yards when I was
practicing a lot really it’s really wild
um now lately I’ve just been doing it on
the short game but it it shows you where
you want to be at impact yeah so when
you start doing that it shows you the
position that you want to be at impact
which essentially is what we were
talking about before is that you want to
be able to figure out where your weight
needs to be at impact yeah and that’s
that’s that sensitivity that you’re
looking for so when you’re doing short
game stuff you just set up like you’re
going to spoon it so if I was going to
spoon it to that ball right there so I
say I wanted
to I got a little connected through a
pass
but that’s all part of it is you
start feeling what’s the pace what’s the
alignment all the
posture and you get you get connected to
where you want to be at impact and then
once you feel that you’re in that right
spot you just throw a little back swing
on it yeah you and do the same thing
interesting yeah that that was really
instructive okay
so cool
cool all right so a couple more
fundamentals and like we said you’re
going to have this to to to go back and
and great dig back into all this so uh
want to go ahead and just just lay out
some fundamentals for you starting with
the grip okay one of the easiest ways to
take your grip is when it’s
vertical so what happens is when it’s
it’s it’s down like this we have a
tendency to grip down the club and what
we want to be doing is we want to be
gripping around it
and what we’re trying to do is we’re
trying to get rid of the tension in the
hands and the wrist and the forearms and
all the way up in the shoulders so the
way that we do that is by stretching the
hands around so we put it down here like
in the second pad like here yep exactly
and so what you’ll do is you pull back
from the left and you push with the
right so you’re trying to stretch it
into the fingers oh yeah and then you
you come from here and you just wrap
your hand around it like like this
uh-huh yep so you’re just pushing it
down and you’re wrapping it around and
then here whether you interlock or you
overlap I go with an interlock I just
have been doing it a long time makes me
feel like my hands are more one but I
push it down into that second pad pull
back from the wrist here and then
stretch it
over there you
go nice you play guitar I
do the classical lately nice I can see I
any time you got those those longer
fingernails that’s and one of the things
this tends to do is keep it in the
fingers as opposed to the Palm I think
that’s really good what’s fascinating
here too keep your grip is that you can
relax your hands and go ahead and lean
back a little bit it kind of works like
a Chinese finger trap oh so you can pull
on it here and you can keep your hands
pretty relaxed and it just gets it gets
cinched up in your hands from gripping
it like that so without having to
squeeze onto it yeah so it’ll it’ll just
just naturally naturally be able to
relax more and see your hands get more
perpendicular on the club here too
rather than gripping down it so you see
how your hands are really around the
club this way yeah and it’s much easier
to do this when the club is is straight
up and down like this so grab it like
this yep down in the fingers you want me
to stretch like this or yeah so it’s
it’s really like vertically or so I’m
stretching it this way so I’m pushing it
down see I’m pulling I’m pulling my
wrist back not a vertical stretch it’s a
stretch just in general around yeah so
I’m pulling back from here yeah and
stretching it around okay and this
finger is kind of compact and I put this
one on push out with my left a little
bit exactly it exactly and then you can
kind of get to where so you see this is
here yeah and then you kind of get to
where this just like sits on top of this
here takes a little practice to to get
that get that right in that spot but
you’ll find you want this one a little
closer like that yeah so it kind of sits
this part starts to sit more in here
there so you kind of work on that takes
a little adjustment sometimes I think
your thumb there’s a little short
everybody’s hands are a little bit
different there you go you stretch it
around relax that part you got some
tension in your hand there yeah there
you go put that
on there you
go
nice looks good and you just when you’re
doing that you check to see if the club
is square yeah yeah okay you go
interesting
yeah everything takes on a little
different shape right I’m glad you’re
filming this I know there’s there’s
there’s a lot of little fundamental
things that that make a lot of
difference because you’re
learning essentially you’re learning how
to let go of tension in so many places
that it can creep in yeah and so that’s
that’s one of the next things here that
that I want to work on so go ahead and
and just throw it up to the top of the
back
swing okay then just just stop at the
top all
right okay so from here I want you to
take your right hand off the club okay
so do you feel a little bit of tension
from here yep yeah now feel
this better it got softer all of a
sudden yeah for sure
so same thing go ahead and do the same
thing with uh taking your your right
hand off or sorry your left hand
mhm there you go so you feel the
difference between it being there versus
more tension everywhere for sure yep the
more that it gets laid off like that
yeah it just immediately shoots right
through there so this is something that
is it takes practice to do because
anything
that you your hands are
doing through the back swing will
essentially move them more here or back
here it essentially moves them out of
just going up yeah the only thing that
the hands and arms do in the swing need
to do is go up and they just follow the
body so what you’ll find with this too
is
that the more natural that your posture
gets so you just did a great move right
there you stood up yeah right it feels
more comfortable to to relax from this
position so it’s the same thing in the
golf swing you want to be able to
actually be as tall as you can and when
you get down to the ball you do it by
sitting down rather than bending
forwards from
here because what happens as you bend
forwards the arms just naturally can
even more to the inside yeah and
it pulls you towards your toes um it
also has a tendency to pull your your
hands more off your
midline so when you’re when you’re in
the back swing the strongest position
for your body is going to be in front of
your chest let’s go ahead and turn this
way there you go so your hands can be
nice and high more vertical here and
you’re going to be much stronger here
the further that you get back this way
in Jiu-Jitsu the this is how you would
pop somebody’s shoulder out of place
because you’re in a very weak position
here and just from pushing right in here
that’s how they put someone into an arm
bar oh and people do this all the time
in their golf swing and they you know
they’re thinking that they’re trying to
go back they’re trying to get more back
swing but what you’re actually doing and
a lot of times they feel stronger from
here or they feel what they feel is
they’re feeling leverage and the real
isn’t the reason that they’re feeling
Leverage is because it’s going back in
on the body rather than going
out so just learning how to be really
passive so that your hands are just
moving with this and what you’re going
to start feeling over time is that it
starts low so you feel like your knees
and your hands are connected because
your knees and your hips and your
shoulders in your hands all start
feeling like they’re turning at the same
Pace everything gets very soft and very
neutral that way so let me ask you about
the setup you know what I was taught was
um to you know these are flexed but just
a little bit but bend at your waist like
this and then bring it down roughly you
know that far from and slight weight on
the front uh middle you know middle not
on the toes and looking behind the ball
here but I think now you’re telling me
something about rather than b at the
waist maybe come down a little more with
the knees or or imagine you were going
to do a squat so go ahead and throw this
over your
shoulders mhm so imagine you got a you
know two 300 lb up here I would do it my
sneeze in this case exactly you would
stay back like that back a little bit
same posture you want to be in so
imagine so this this posture right here
this this athletic posture yeah it’s
great if you want to go this way right
but when you start realizing that your
goal is to move in this direction it
really loses its context so if I said
you’ve got to go in this direction right
now how are you going to move I’m going
to fall this way
and yeah just go ahead and go ahead and
just start walking that direction right
now it’s the same posture you want to be
in so the taller that you are the reason
that we walk as bipeds the way that
we’ve kind of evolved into doing that
it’s much more
ergonomic so it’s it’s much easier for
us to utilize Gravity by standing up
tall that’s why we don’t walk around
like well some of us do now because
we’re all sitting in front of the
computer but the ideal position for you
to stand in is is a taller one it’s much
easier on the body to control that that
vertical fall that we use all the time
just as so when I set up then um you
know let’s assume have a the grips right
or whatever but just terms of my my body
you know coming up to this ball my
normally I would be like this you’re
suggesting maybe a little bit more in
the knees so what’s fascinating is that
the closer that we stand there’s a
certain precipice I discovered this from
from hitting a lot of
one-handers and I I started getting into
this whole distance progression where I
I break down all my shots into 25%
increments and so I try and cover the
cover the 25% one handed I usually do
this with a three iron so I go
one-handed three iron right-handed three
iron try and cover 25% work it into
that that that uh with the wall and that
that front edge we were talking about
and what I started realizing when I’m
hitting all these shots so I’ll go from
25% to 50 to 75 100 if anytime it comes
up short goes in the wrong way or
overdoes it I bring it back down to the
previous one so I can find my sequence
and by 25% you mean uh a distance
distance right so if it’s a 200 yard
Club I start at 50 yards 50% would be
100 yards 75 would be
150 and that’s a really good way to
create sensitivity and to keep you from
hitting that grab Point CU we start
feeling once we start getting closer to
our full power that’s when we start
feeling like we need to try and move at
100% Pace yeah and honestly you never
really need to move more than about 70%
of your
actual actual capacity cuz at that point
you start diminishing the ability to
keep everything in sequence so we can
talk about that and that’s actually one
of the things we’re doing with the
driver drill today is is learning how to
essentially kind of exhaust ourselves
and what starts to happen at that level
when we’re when we’re working at a high
velocity how we start learning how to
control our body parts at faster speeds
um to to Circle that that that back to
we were talking about the posture the
the posture and the knees
and being able
to being able to to feel that it it took
me a second to j i I took that circle on
a big circle uh when you start standing
close enough to it it starts creating a
a different kind of initial move so when
you start standing close enough to it it
starts creating the necessity to work
more around the back of your body
because you need to create space for
this Ark size right which is good then
it is good yeah so what happened was the
reason I was using that story of of all
the one-handers is I realized that when
I started standing close enough to it
that all of a sudden my my hand and arm
just started shooting up out in front of
me so so often I was feeling where I’d
come back in here the hand was getting
too far behind me and I would really get
stuck and it was much harder to time out
the change of Direction and once I
started moving closer in on it all of a
sudden I could
feel that I wasn’t having to work near
as hard in that that heave in that
initial movement
so what you’re going to find is that
it’s it’s better to get yourself
standing closer to it and it’s also
going to help you with that that taller
posture so as you start standing closer
to it like this you’re going to find
yourself just sitting down and staying
very tall in the upper
body that’s really interesting and it
just starts creating this natural chain
reaction that just moves you all the way
through the heave now you’re moving more
around the back of your body it makes it
easier to move into that counter fall
and more neutral this is what I was
saying is everything really goes back to
the beginning and how it yeah feeds
through the whole thing that’s that’s
really interesting so I can imagine if
you’re trying to reach for the ball it’s
harder to be falling back if you’re if
you’re further away it it is it is it’s
harder on the body too so the more that
you’re the more that you’re bent over
the more likely you are to to put
pressure into the lower back or into the
hips and things like that so it’s it’s
just a little bit more difficult to to
space it out so cuz a lot of times you
end up with with more dip in there and
things um Travino made it work pretty
well he stood pretty far from the ball
but you look at the way he had huge legs
and he still was able to move himself
around the back of his body but I think
it
probably probably historically he he
favored a fade he he hit a fade a lot
more often and I think being further
away from the ball probably made it more
difficult for him to to hit the draw as
consistently which was why he didn’t
like the Masters as much the Masters is
always set up for a draw yeah so that
that’s kind of a hunch
but so what we want to do here is we
just want to start off we’re going to
make some practice swings and we’re
going to start off with a really
fundamental shot once we start hitting
the ball so this is being able to dial
the distance way back with a full
swing and so what we’re going to do is
hit a draw about 100 yards okay so
you’re going to take take this seven
iron and the goal is just to hit a nice
nice high
draw and be able to do this from a full
swing so that you’re regulating the pace
and you’re controlling the the attitude
of the
body while you have an abundance of
power so you’re just learning how to
dial everything back and essentially get
your knees and your hips and your
shoulders and your hands all just
turning at the same pace so you’re just
going to be letting go of any extraneous
Movement we just start matching up the
con that with the Contour of the ground
and it starts laying out a you know a
road map for essentially how you want to
hit every shot that sounds great yeah
okay so let’s just go ahead and start
making some practice wings I just want
you to brush the grass okay that blue
flag here maybe yeah so what we’re going
to do actually is so this is how we’re
going to start we’re going to start you
off aiming out to the
right and then walking out to the left
so you see these um these little
black and white checkered Stakes there
yeah okay and then you see you see that
pole that’s all the way on the left over
there the red one um yeah there’s the
red one and then there’s a little yellow
one down there right over the edge yeah
mhm so what I want you to do is is set
up at the black ones okay I want you to
make a make a swing the intention to
brush the grass but what you’re going to
do is you’re going to walk out towards
the yellow one
okay interesting
okay we’re not going to use a ball we’re
just going to do practice swings I’m
lining up usually I think about what I’m
lining up with here and uh so you look
good so your 90 is so right now your
weight is under your head as it as it
normally is going to be so it’s about
right here okay so if you were to come
up to here and then through 90 you’re
pretty much right at those black and
white Checker checkered
sticks okay and uh let’s
see
I don’t expect all those those those
things to be there right away so let’s
go ahead and make a practice swing there
you go all right so that’s what you want
to do so you want to set up here I I’ll
show you real quick I was trying to fall
in that direction toward the black so if
you really
just make your intention to brush it and
then just walk out to that yellow flag
okay and kind of forget everything
else
good
Tempo nice good
brush probably because I’m not thinking
about the swing exactly and and right
now that’s that’s that’s the idea that’s
the idea the rest of it’s all going to
come in
time that was not such a good brush that
was a thin there now what I want you to
focus on here is
the you’re getting the brush down which
is excellent now what I really want you
to dial in is is your walk so when
you’re walking through see if you can
make it poised
so hang up over here
that looks so
gentlemanly
okay it’s like a there’s a nonchalant
confidence to it and that’s what you
want to feel whenever you’re you’re
moving through your
shots much
better very
nice
excellent all
right go ahead and just throw this
within the path of that and just take
that same sequence exactly the
same goal here is you’re brushing the
grass it’s brushing the grass and
walking towards that yellow flag
is smoothly and easily and as tall as
you
can
beautiful see how that was nice high and
it drew from right to left did didn’t it
yeah it did Drew it right out of the box
yeah you’re shocking me all right now
what I want you to do is I want you to
actually shorten that same full-size
swing
but your goal is going to be to dial it
back about another 30 yard ah okay and I
I wasn’t really thinking about how hard
to swing that was just a swing yeah so
yeah so now we’re going to add a little
Tempo into it yeah yeah okay I just I
was thinking more about the walk I
suppose so think feeling that walk that
walk might be a little bit slower now
same Poise same same nice confidence and
just a little bit
slower
that’s probably still
good yeah that was about 20 yards
shorter was it good yeah yeah the other
one was was up on the hill there that
one was kind of more towards the base of
the hill so that was exactly what you
were looking for even
less
that one I think
uh it didn’t didn’t draw that one didn’t
draw quite as much and what happened
there was the transition at the top just
got a little bit fast so it didn’t give
you the time to actually fall as much to
the inside so that’s that’s what
happened so just give it a little give
it a a breath more time a breath more of
time use that as a as a way to say
it to complete that transition at the
top so when you get up to the top up
here just give yourself a little bit
more
time to make that transition
okay
I was still on the fast side it was it
was what now on the fast side and the
transition
so man I could definitely feel that
wasn’t uh lights at the top I was kind
of mhm and so what you’re going to
notice is it actually gets a lot easier
to to feel the transition and the timing
the more neutral that this becomes the
taller that you are so there you were a
little bit more bent over and you got to
the top and this is all the way over at
parallel so it’s a little more difficult
to be slow through here when you’ve got
tension moving through here so this is
where this kind of stuff really starts
to come into play so as we progress into
this and we start trying some of the
drills and stuff you’ll you’ll start
feeling more of the necessity to do that
which is is what we want to do to create
the environment that necessitates us to
move in a more natural way so for
starters I’m just going to show you a
little bit different Tempo
here that was a pretty slow tempo pretty
slow tempo now let’s see if I can dial
that back even a little bit
more but you see how it had all the
elements to it yeah it
was and and by elements I mean it it
brushed the grass I walked out to the
left and it drew you know aside from the
neutrality and everything just that’s
kind of the basic element of it there is
I want to be able to match my arc up to
the Contour of the ground I want to be
walking out to the left and I want to be
doing that in the most relaxed tall
posture that I
can now there I let it collapse a little
bit where my arm my arms move just a
little bit faster than my turn um still
I got away with it the shot ended up
good uh and that’s kind of the the point
is we’ve we’ve given ourselves so much
room for air by aiming so far to the
right over here that I can mess up the
shot and still get away with it right
and that’s that’s kind of the point when
you’re out there on the course is trying
to avoid the trouble avoid the trouble
pick easy shots like realize that most
every shot shot that you’re going to hit
is going to be a Miss yeah you know
Hogan game of Misses game of Misses yeah
I think there was the quote of Hogan
that said he hit two or three perfect
shots in a major winning round yeah you
know so the rest of them are slight
misses
and that’s uh that’s just the name of
the
game so try it again without the ball
and and before you even take your
practice swing what I want you to do is
step outside the box here for a
second and I want you
to you see the spot that you’re wanting
to go over there right so kind of see
those two balls that are right next to
each other to the U short left of that
red steti yes they’re like right next to
each other yes so let’s put that as your
focal point okay and what I want you to
do while you’re standing right here is I
want you to imagine exactly what the
pace of your swing is going to be able
to work into to match it up to that
distance okay and for that I probably
will need to uh I’m guessing that’s like
130 yards or something so I’m going to
have to do a close to a full swing and
of course if I you tell me I don’t I
don’t really think I don’t think it’s
quite that far it’s downhill quite a bit
so it’s going to add you know probably
it’s going to shorten it up by about 10
15 yards and that first one where you
weren’t even trying to turn yeah full PA
you were close to full Pace it was more
up in that uh that brown area up there
which is about another 20 25 yard up
there okay so a dialed back swing to get
to there to get to there yeah
okay so I’ll do a practice swing before
that and then and so when you do your
practice swing what we want to see
is if it feels the same way as what you
have in your mind the stronger that
you’re able to capture the feeling of
the swing in your mind ahead of time the
more context everything else is going to
have so now is when you get to find out
if your practice swing feels the same
way as what you just
imagine that wasn’t it let’s see that’s
a little too fast let’s try
takes a lot of lot of control to slow
down your swing yeah for sure I mean one
thing I sometimes helps just to do
something really slow like that M and
then here you go and try and feel like
your knees and your hips and your
shoulders are all turning at the same
Pace as equal amount so they’re all
turning at the same pace and an equal
amount in the back swing and the forward
swing yeah okay
look nice
smoth awesome should I try one go for
it
all right so it drew you had the
distance pretty close yeah uh you hit it
a little bit heavy transition was just a
little bit fast okay so the whole swing
was just a little bit faster than the
practice swing that you were taking but
your Mist turned out pretty good yeah it
did didn’t it mhm and it did feel a
little heavy but uh the result was
reasonable yeah reasonable is good
reasonable is good yeah means that you
were you’re you’re working in that right
direction that’s
excellent so I’m going to try a a
practice here let’s
see no let’s do that
again
so let’s let’s try and get this a little
bit higher out there so you’re going to
intentionally add just a little bit of
Loft to it by putting it further foures
in The Stance and you can even grip it
slightly open so this is this is uh an
interesting caveat to this if you can
learn how to hit this really high and
turn it over even where you’re adding
Loft to it so
imagine that you
were taking a taking a three iron
turning it into a seven or an eight Iron
by adding Loft to it and then shortening
the distance to 100 yards and still
being able to turn it
over okay so now you you start really
about six in from where I would normally
put it right so because you what you’re
kind of doing is so you’re you’re
opening the blade to add Loft to it and
what that does is that’s changing the
alignment further to the right yeah so
you’re adding Loft to it and it’s it’s
actually changing the alignment further
to the right so what you have to do is
move the ball further forwards to
essentially bring it back into proper
alignment so now instead of being 90°
you’re working with say
130° 120° yeah is that Mak sense so what
you can do is you can you can aim
further left you can come back on the
circle a little bit walk around this way
touch there you go see and now you’re
back to that that alignment that you’re
looking for see if you can still turn it
over from there so now you want me to to
stay here you’re going to do the exact
same thing yep stay right there stay
right here and goal is still so now
let’s see it’s forward of my stance and
the club is open here mhm but your
alignment is just where you were a
minute ago when it was when it was
Square it’s just now you have more Loft
on it okay interesting so interesting
okay
it that was also
fast it’s good that you can you can
sense that take a practice swing brush
the grass see if you can set up with it
like that where it’s a little bit more
open I’m going to put here you just grip
it grip it a little bit more open I’m
going to you’re going to plan on
brushing the grass up in here okay
that’s pretty far forward so let’s do
this
back up in there
MHM stand up
tall so from where you are right now go
ahead stand up stand up there you go and
just sit down there you go this is very
different from what I’ve been practicing
so sitting down like this more upright
okay and
uh good excellent tone that back just a
little bit
downshift this
is forward
here
you have to dial it back even a little
bit
more so what we’re doing is we kind of
played around with the geometry a little
bit that kind of levels it up a
touch
a lot of things you can do to change the
exterior
environment that’s little
fast better slow it down even more yeah
have to imagine okay it’s
slower
nice good see if you can get just a
little deeper brush yeah that was
definitely
light
sure let me think about it here
better still a hair on the fast side you
feel how you kind of lost your balance
Just a Touch yeah yeah so when you come
through and you walk through you just
want it to be as relaxed as possible
this is where a lot of times if you
focus more on the outcome of what you’re
wanting to do it’ll kind of circumvent
everything and and kind of the things
that you’re trying to trying to make
happen here will just just start to
happen because you you started focusing
on TR trying to make a smooth walk I
will do that I’ll focus on the this nice
walk I need to brush that grass better
smoother walk yeah smaller step so when
you come through it’s just a little
remember yeah you’re going for a stroke
here this is just a just a real laidback
shot there it was that was better that
was much better
yeah oh take a second here step
back see that’s spot out there you’re
trying to go yeah the two balls you mean
mhm uh-huh Envision or feel the the
swing in your mind so the more that you
start visually seeing your swing and
start feeling what the pace of it is to
go to that spot in real time the easier
that it’s going to be to carry it in
here into your
shot
still
fast think about the shop on the shoping
Target
now feel the
pace okay still a little fast maybe it’s
you know what it’s great though is that
you can sense that yeah the fact that
you can realize that everything is
moving a little fast lets you know that
you’re on the precipice of being able to
slow it down so it’s
good uh come come over here for a
second we’re going to make this really
interesting cuz now the ball’s slightly
below our feet we’re on an uphill slope
so this means that everything’s going to
have to be just a little bit more
exaggerated so because gravity’s trying
to push us this way and it’s trying to
push us this way so it’s pushing us this
way cuz there’s a little bit of an UPS
slope yeah and and it’s trying to push
us this way yes so this comes back to
what you were saying before that doesn’t
really matter necessarily which
direction your feet are
pointed with the
alignment it only matters to to the
effect of are you able to turn through
your shot
regardless of the Contour a lot of times
people are setting up to these uphill
shots like this yeah you know trying to
match their shoulders to the slope yes
what we’re looking to do is to be able
to turn level over any Contour level to
true to right to to True straight up and
down
so because if you look at an
arc just like imagine a imagine a big
wheel so if a wheel is rolling over the
ground it’s rolling over flat flat
ground the bottom of the wheel is going
to be where it’s touching touching the
ground now all of a sudden imagine it’s
going way uphill which part of the wheel
is going to be touching it that side
it’s going to be further forwards
opposite it would be further back so
it’s the same thing here all we’re
looking to do is just match up our Arc
with the Contour of the ground
so if this is on a steep uphill slope
we’re just going to put the ball further
forwards and then catch
it more on the
upswing this gradient here isn’t quite
as strong as that one but it’s the same
thing so the ball goes slightly further
forwards my stance is going to be a
little bit more narrowed so that I’m not
climbing if from here if I’ve got to
climb from my back foot up to my front
foot that gets more challenging so it’s
a lot easier to have your feet closer
together here and by standing open it’s
easier for me to turn all the way
through my shot if I set up to square to
this I’m going to find restriction in my
in my hip flexor here and it’s going to
be very hard to go ahead and continue
turning all the way through impact so
this is a little easier version of it
right
here but still challenging cuz this
Ball’s below so we’re going to have to
sit down a little bit
more and I’m just going to walk out to
the
left you see like the timing how it gets
really soft to the top and I have this
lie all the time when I play in San
Francisco yeah there’s a very Hill
course called prido and side Hill lies
everywhere
and up and it works to your benefit like
learning how to play over Contours
especially when you start learning how
to do this you know in different
different kind of modes it it teaches
you all kinds of stuff about being able
to feel Tempo and geometry and
posture go
ahead going for what the red St
uh yeah so your goal is still the same
you’re going to start aiming by those
yep those those black and white Checker
stakes and bring it all the way back to
the to the yellow steak there now do you
want me to be some somewhat forward open
a little bit yep your feet are going to
go a little bit more together a little
more together yep and be a little bit
more open so what you can feel here is
are you able to essentially turn your
right pocket all the way past
impact right not quite right right yeah
you’re kind of about about over here
okay you want to like this yeah so bring
bring this
foot back more this way open it more
open it up now try and turn cuz you’re
going to be walking through right so you
want to make sure that you can walk in
that direction easily okay so I I’m open
it’s
forward and I open a club a bit yep here
you’re just going to go for a nice walk
right there nice
walk try that again just brush the grass
and walk in that direction first I I
yeah so
I’ll I’ll do a practice swing let’s go
up here too where it’s a little bit more
of an uphill slope
Okay so think about this in terms of the
positioning open close that’s going to
be easier mhm yeah I would say that’s as
wide as you want your feet to be there
so it could even be a little it could
even be more narrow mhm cuz now your
your right foot is closer to the same
level as your left foot The Wider they
get the the further down the hill that
back foot would be and the more You’
have to climb up the hillstead of
Leaning a little bit behind the ball but
pretty straight up and down and fle the
knees looks good pretty tall there
practice brush the grass and walk to the
left do that again go ahead and take
three or four steps up the hill there so
you can get an idea for what your pace
is like in your walk
okay so I would say one of the one of
the bad habits that I see when people
are trying to walk through their shots
is that they tend to stop after a single
step or two steps there’s so much to
learn within the first few seconds after
your shot that you get a lot of feedback
so it’s it’s kind of hard to tell
exactly what a walk is like when it
stops here yeah but if you go ahead and
continue
walking you’ll have that biof feedback
real fresh in your mind there so when
you’re coming through you’re going to
notice after a few steps am I tall am I
off balance you know what what what was
all actually happening there that fed
into that walk so go ahead and let
yourself walk up into the rough here
give yourself a good few steps
okay that was really
nice that’s a very good idea to do
suggested there so make it more and more
about what you know what’s going on
afterwards and the rest of it starts to
fall in
line she feel there how that first step
you were kind of fighting the edge of
your foot yeah but you got through it
yeah yeah so it’s
good
nice so what you can see in the
difference in if if you were to have hit
the ball on those the the first one was
was close to that one right there you
would have seen more of a pronounced
draw would have been flush the second
one you would have seen would have been
a straighter one because where you were
kind of falling off to the right you
were you still made it happen but you
were kind of hugging the hugging the
corner there a little bit more you could
feel that on the outside of your foot
yeah and your ball would have gone a
little bit straighter than having turned
over that one would have turned over
quite nicely so that was that was really
instructive the last one I was thinking
specifically of just walking in that
direction in a reasonable Pace that was
my swing thought the last swing a really
good swing thought yeah so shall I try
one there go for it okay so we’ve done
the practice swings I’ll line this up
I’m going to leave it forward and a bit
open mhm and this is
close
beautiful yeah that uh that worked
pretty well so I’m
you know the the uh draw was slight
right like maybe five yards or something
which is good I think that’s really good
especially having the ball below your
feet two or three inches here that’s uh
it’s impressive yeah yeah cuz most
people are are you know are are pushing
it off of here cuz the hill has a
tendency
to whenever you’re you’re on a on a s
Hill slope one of the best things you
can do to increase your consistency and
your accuracy is to walk through your
shots yeah on the golf course everywhere
because it’s so easy to let gravity get
the best of you right here when you’re
focusing too much on contact with the
ball yeah coming through and
just I don’t know if you can see it here
but there’s a little move where all of a
sudden I’m shifting here and because I’m
thinking about the ball it’s just so
easy to start doing this yeah I see and
if my focus is on the walk then doesn’t
happen and I try to focus on the target
but
you know Target in the walk what you
know if I can just think of that curve
I’m walking that way casually yeah that
was my swing thought I’ll try it
again interesting about you know shorter
open open blade open blade but it’s
forward so it’s
should draw a
bit
nice that was a definite draw there yeah
wow
interesting so again I’ll line this up
where am I going lining so I’m not
lining up with my target I’m lining up
to the starting place
so I’m lining up this way and I’m
opening
this okay closer stance
open
sitting lot of things have thinking
about I know they’ll all start falling
in line yeah if you can get to
where you’re letting them all go like
you were saying you had a really you’ve
had a really simple thought process
there just walking calmly in that
direction everything else really takes a
backseat to that yeah yeah so I try to
uh I’m going to do a reasonable uh
practice swing and then just think
target so right now I’m thinking
walk I don’t know that was a thin I
think so I mean that really was not that
great of a swing for you but if you look
at it you still clipped it off the turf
you still walked through it it still had
a little baby draw on it so you got away
with a whole lot there yeah um that’s
great which worked yeah yeah yeah so I I
uh uh I don’t think my back swing was
was very good it came it was pretty flat
at the top up there was pretty far out
of vertical your body was uh a little
bit crouched over so just stand up nice
and Tall so I I think you know let’s do
the practice swing first mhm pretty
narrow your stance up there a little bit
narrow there you go
open practice
swing the posture has a lot to do with
how we were talking about
your posture is going to really help
initiate it in the right way to where
you can move more around the back of
your legs it’ll create more space
between your arms and the back of your
body so you’ll feel more comfortable
with your arms moving more out here
rather than in here
if I’m if you’re standing up tall
standing a little closer to the ball
yeah okay so now instead of being in the
center uh and and the doing this forward
and opening it is because are we doing
this particularly because of this shot
because I’m uphill and all and trying to
it’s a it’s a combination of that we’re
doing that because we want to hit it
high and we’re also doing that because
of the Contour so you kind of have uh a
double effect you’re putting it actually
even more forward than you would just
for the hill because you’re wanting to
hit it even higher and I want to hit it
high cuz I’m trying to maybe get over
some trouble so I’m opening up my seven
iron it shows that you have a lot of a
lot of control to be able to to hit it
higher like this because your body has
to work more on a on an inside
track so you have to work more around
your heels to be able to hit this shot
very similar to a flop
shot
close try putting the ball a little bit
further forwards
there I think you’re running out of room
to keep turning that’s why you’re kind
of popping up just a touch okay so let’s
see aiming at that so if I think about
this on the course uh and you really
want me to draw it much more like toward
those two balls I’d like to yeah okay so
I I need a a uh a more of a fall in that
direction that I’m doing M okay so it’s
so interesting to me that uh I’m opening
and I’m coming back a
bit U stay close but pretty far
forward now that would that’ be
beautiful shot off of that lie normally
on the golf course for for the shot
we’re trying to hit here what’s that
that was really good it was yeah you
know given the the lie and everything oh
yeah definitely so all right so on this
next one see if you can dial the
distance back a little bit more see if
you can get it to land on the green to
the right of the yellow flag there okay
mhm
so let’s see we’re going to dial it back
I’m going to still aim for the black but
curve it that much y okay
yep that’s quite a lot of draw you want
me to
do but that’s what I should be doing mhm
okay that’s a lot you may be able to to
find you might be able to to bring it in
a little bit aiming a little bit closer
to it okay you kind of play around with
that so it didn’t have to be at the
black there okay so I’m here thinking
about this
so if I was like this like it will
automatically open the way I want right
right you’re aimed out right now you’re
aimed out pretty far to the right
remember when you start adding Loft to
it it aims you even further right so
you’ll have to come back around the
circle so just come back a little bit
more here there you go okay
nice
like the walk
here nice I was thinking this shorter
shot now I didn’t really see it uh I
didn’t see that ball at all it so you
had the distance it went uh exact
distance of the yellow flag it went
higher it went pretty straight just had
a baby draw on it so you had the tempo
really good the only thing that you
might want to add a little bit is just
falling slightly more to the inside more
inside yeah you’re doing a really good
job though this is this is excellent
it’s shocking the hell out of
me cuz normally you know I just try to
get a reasonable distance and uh and
then the darn things okay I got that one
straight good let’s see if I can
reproduce it but now I’m going you know
learning how to work it yeah exactly and
none of them are going right
you know which we don’t want
thisday until until that becomes Our
intention yeah until it become exactly
exactly so if I’m thinking on the course
I’m here and I’m going to think okay I’m
going to step back and it’s going to be
open and uh about there stay close nice
something like this looks
good relax a little
bit
wow now I that was I looked back at the
Target now that went really far though
didn’t didn’t go it did it went a little
further than where you were were a
little further than you were intending
but went to to the hear how crisp it was
though it did it did so that’s much too
far but at least no that was that was
what we were of going of drawing it that
Drew quite a bit it’s excellent Prett
good shot yeah that was excellent just
have to dial it back just dial it back a
little bit that’s exactly what we were
looking for
okay so let’s think I’m going to aim
kind of like five yards to the left of
the black pin okay you want me to and
try to and I’m not shortening the often
what I would do is try to choke up we’re
doing this through temp
yeah okay so I’ll stay with the normal
length of the club aiming here and
uh
open that was there it was fast in the
change
yeah
this is so
instructive I have to find a place like
this to
practice if if driving ranges would
would build pitching
Mounds on the on the driving range it
would be so much more beneficial to
everyone’s game yeah because you could
work with all these different lies you
could work
on the whole combination of
them
most a little quick at the top up there
it’s where it’s getting a little flat
stand up a little bit taller
okay
nice I never saw the result oh there it
is okay
mhm it looked pretty straight I think
cuz I’m aiming there that was that was
fairly straight
yeah yeah but that’s like we were saying
your misses will start to go straight
yeah and I uh at least I got the
distance roughly mhm so which was the
intent nice good job yeah that’s awesome
all right now we’ll jump on to the
drives question for you would be sure um
if I’m on a downhill MH uh would I bring
it back in my stance or anything like
that exactly so similar thing and then
in terms of the club you’ve got me
opening it to try to do a h high but I
could also do it more in the center mhm
uh on the on the U on this one MH so
this was intentionally to try to get it
to high that’s that’s to get it to go
higher mhm and so if I’m going downhill
let’s see if on this kind of a
slope
um keep your feet kind of close again
you would keep your feet close and it
would still be a little
open
down enough here yeah see if you can
just hit one over these little pine
trees right here like
like like o over this
yeah yeah just out here to the right of
the
range these trees
here
so take a practice swing and brush the
grass you’ll find you’ll brush it a
little further back than you were on the
okay on the flatl or definitely the up
and this time you want it in the center
of my stance or where would you like the
ball it’s going to be a little bit
little bit back yeah a little closer
towards the center of your it depends on
the severity of the Hill really so here
it’s going to be closer towards the
middle
close
open okay and uh on this Shadow might
you want me to set it up for a draw or
straight or what what’s the intent let’s
set up
[Music]
for well let’s try for a little bit of a
draw okay so I’m I’m aiming like uh I’ll
aim like the edge of this close tree and
intend to draw it over towards that
yellow flag uh yeah oh that a real short
one then yeah okay yeah we keep dialing
them
back
so
go in here
close and um and just walk it out to the
left okay and uh now it’s back in my
stance I won’t have it open at all Club
face right I’m
just we’re not trying to do it
high that went pretty
great not had a baby baby draw on it
right there was yeah just a touch it was
it was
covered and you brushed it off the
ground you walked through it was pretty
good so i’ always heard about uh aiming
at your target but then but here we’re
going to
aim any I don’t know what I heard forget
that they just try and walk further left
this time okay and slow it down in the
change just a little bit
more I didn’t see the ball uh it was
pretty straight it started off to the
right right over those trees but I had
nice crisp clean contact it’s pretty
difficult to draw it off this lie but it
if if you can do it it’s really really
good but
you’re you’re doing fantastic to be able
to to make those kind of adjustments
especially this early on to where you
can feel that you’re bottoming out the
Ark in a slightly different spot yeah
you know because it’s on this downhill
lie and you’re still able to match that
up and be able to walk through I mean
that’s that’s a lot of really good
things happening right there and I’ve
always you know thought about you know
since it’s on a downhill not very much
here but a little bit um the club is a
little bit more um you know little Loft
Del lofted MH um if I wanted to be
higher shot would I try would you ever
try to you’re thinking exactly right yep
so if I try to so say for instance it’s
down but you got something that you’ve
got to go up and over right there yeah
you just have to get the geometry mashed
up so what I would normally choose is a
more lofted Club but you know there’s
distance involved in all those things
you got to take all that stuff into
account so with that in mind should we
try a lofted one keep your grip out in
the same normal
spot and
uh so would I move it you know if I open
it a little bit should I move it forward
now even though I’m downhill exactly
it’s just a it’s just a balance right
there cuz you added Loft to it so you
got to move it slightly forwards for
that but maybe not as far forward as
that uphill exactly
okay so I’m imagining
here
awesome oh there it is I see so it’s
probably drew a little bit because I’m
aiming about five or seven yard that way
yeah from where it landed it was about a
three yard draw oh
yeah pretty cool right yeah it’s very
cool yeah
nice excellent yeah are you ready to hit
some drives sure should should I try one
out of the sand go for it yeah I do
that what what should we try should we
do the same thing or something different
uh try and hit the same shot so okay
move it maybe move it a little bit more
on that uphill slope right there right
in front of you just move the ball
forwards Just a Touch here yeah there
you go perfect so put it far enough
forwards for the slope so you’re going
to want it even oh okay you’re trying to
go over here sorry I was actually
imagining you going towards that blue
flag there oh sure I’ll go for anything
blue flag we could we could do that one
too that one’s definitely a really
severe shot if you’re going up over this
little lip yeah with a seven iron
especially with a 7even iron yeah you’d
be wanting to take more LT from there
for sure yeah um that would be really
interesting shot I’ll go for the blue
and I’ll try to draw it yeah try and
draw it back to say the the left of that
clump of trees up there on the
hill so started at the blue and then see
kind of where that sand starts over
there to the right of the try to draw it
up that direction yeah try and draw it
up that direction so that’s a a severe
draw um I mean like it’s moderate this
or that sand to the let’s say just the
right edge of that sand up there on the
Hill and that distance little Nursery up
there that distance or uh you don’t have
to go quite that far honestly I wouldn’t
be trying to go middle yeah I’d be
trying to
go
about maybe 30 yards short of that just
kind of slightly up the hill there a
little bit okay and you’re trying to hit
this a little thin so when you set up to
this here let me go ahead and put you a
stance and then you can just walk right
into my
stance
a little bit closer
to all right so I want to hit it thin
huh
mhm okay so cuz the last thing we want
to do is get sand in between the club
face and the yeah it’s funny I always
put the ball back to make sure I would
hit the ball first see this is this is
the opposite yeah so you’re because it’s
so easy to hit
steep into it that way especially if
your alignment ends up too far to the
right which is so common so here we’re
just planning to hit it further forwards
of the bottom of the arc and just catch
in the upswing and hit it a hit it a
Groove low okay so let’s see practice
here can’t do a practicing all the way
but I can at least get my weight up here
so this is where I want to
be
I didn’t get the but I got the idea yeah
that was very short I see and you hit
just a little behind it there so mhm see
you you hit the sand there so
essentially what we’re looking to do is
pretty much Miss the sand here all
together
right oh that that kind of changes the
lie a little bit cuz now it’s sitting
down in there makes it even a little bit
harder you can still do it but let’s go
ahead and just put it right there give
me an easy shot a little bit yeah we’ll
do it
gradually nice make my own let’s see I’m
here I’m going to so put it even further
forwards like here yeah and your
weight’s going to be far enough back at
the point of impact so that you’re going
to catch it on the upswing so
essentially kind of where you are right
now is about where you want to be at
impact so you might want to move your
foot even a little bit further back so
that you can move into that spot mhm mhm
wow so that’s okay you see what I’m
saying there yeah that’s it’s all a
function of time and
[Laughter]
space so I’m thinking now it’s where
going to walk that’s what I’m thinking
nice I hit the sand first for sure
mhm which is not good at a fairway lie
all right Fairway stand up a little bit
taller okay so you’re really going to
have to stay on the back of your he
heels here cuz that Ball’s above your
feet too yeah so you’ve got a little bit
of a a little bit of an uphill slope
here and then the ball’s also above your
feet so you have have to really stay
back on your heels here so that when
you’re coming through
that you’re kind of hitting a little bit
like that here watch just watch a couple
of them here and
then
nice
yeah come right out of there so you see
there how I’m not really taking any sand
at all yeah that’s
just hitting it a little
thin see I’ve got to have my weight in
the right spot so that I’m catching it
it’s like slightly forwards see the
bottom of my Ark would would be about
here yeah and I’m catching it up
here you know I didn’t see that flight
it sounded really good though do you see
it yep landed up right past that last
black checker flag right
there
wow
this is good you’re really getting a
really good good sense for geometry this
morning and this serves you for every
shot that you hit cuz this will also
teach you essentially how to control the
trajectory on your drives as well sounds
good to me yeah okay so got this
thing now let’s see about like this this
spread here that looks pretty good okay
and stand up tall little weight on my
heels a little you know middle the heels
mhm think about it a little
bit soft so on those last few shots your
weight has ended up essentially a little
bit too far
left and it was causing you to hit down
on it a little bit you mean wait after I
finish too far
your well sorry your your weight was
ending up too much into your left foot
on the down swing to be able to catch it
that far in the upswing so your weight
has to be far enough back so that you
can catch the ball in the upswing there
so that you can you can hit it just a
little on the thin
side there you go so I didn’t see it uh
it actually had a slight fade on it
maybe just a few yards but it started
started at that blue flag and went just
a few yards to the right of it you feel
how you clipped it out of there yeah
that was good and you got a lot more
distance out of it that time yeah for
sure and and uh so I I’ve never thought
of hitting thin like that intentionally
that that would be a good thing but do
you want to always do that uh when
you’re hitting Fairway bunker shots it’s
a really good way to go because here
you’re you’re really wanting to to get
your distance out of the bunker right
and the same would be true if it’s like
on a down slope like here or something
same same would be true on the down
slope yeah you have it forward like that
you would yeah yeah I mean it has to go
back because it’s on the down slope but
it’s got to go forward so that you can
catch it yeah it’s a compromise there so
it’s it’s taking in all the
elements we got this here we’re going to
aim going be a little open
uh now here you don’t really have to
open the club unless you’re trying to
hit it higher which isn’t really
necessary because you don’t have too
much of a lip there so okay I just
thought since it was forward isn’t it
going to be higher
anyway um here we’re going forward you
don’t yeah you won’t need to add any
Loft to it it’ll already naturally have
the Loft because you’re because you’re
putting it farther forward I
see think about my intention here and
draw this thing and walk that
way
nice I don’t never saw the saw very
similar to the last shot had just a
slight fade on it and was hit really
crisp yeah it felt good uh nice you got
a couple more right behind the rake
there so see if you
can take just a a hair second longer in
the change and walk out to the left just
a little bit more okay and just add a
little draw to
it this is great though cuz this is
already a really Advanced shot right
here I think so too you’re you’re you’re
going right you’re taking to it like a
fish in water which is
fantastic
what am I trying to
do nice yeah I missing the clouds so
that one was pretty straight was it yeah
so you took you took that fade out of
there just a little bit so if you add
just a little bit more of what you were
doing there we’ll add a little bit of a
draw
element
okay short so one thing I was looking at
when you set that ball it had had kind
of a little bit of a fried egg in there
yeah so that ball was sitting down yeah
so had it been up where the others were
you would have hit that much much closer
you’d have got more advancement out of
that but because it was sitting down
like that you were going to have to have
to make a little little adjustment for
it sitting sitting down like that would
I make have it more centered um it would
it would have to be a little bit more
centered you’d have to sit down on it
just a little bit
more just to drop the arc to it just a
little bit yeah it’s it’s going to be it
just gets a little bit more challenging
because you’re trying to hit it thin
catch it slightly on the upswing but the
ball’s sitting down in the ground so
you’ve got you got about that much room
for air
yeah
rolls there it’s probably not fried egg
I suppose well you I mean you really got
to look at it I mean how much how much
sand is there up around the side of the
ball so even that one there is sitting
down so yeah you see how you pick up the
ball so you how it’s sitting down on the
sand yeah that’s a very different lie
than if it was
sitting say like like there here yeah to
where it’s kind of sitting up and you
got room behind it see this is a very
different lie right here
than that right there that’s interesting
I always think of it being more buried
as so that’s much more extreme if if I’m
uh you know close to the green then you
might be hit a lofted shot and it stuck
in there but if you’re going for the
green with a five iron or a driver or
whatever and uh and it rolled now it’s
going to be on the top probably like you
were saying like that you know it all
depends on on what’s going on in the
sand so say for for instance um you know
it it rolls
down so here even there’s just the
slightest bit see this is raised up just
a little bit Yeah and imagine even say
it was just you know say it ended up
like like that and it just happened to
have a little bit more sand behind it
yeah that’s a very different shot all of
a sudden wow and it makes a big
difference because if you came in from
this angle here and manag to get that
sand behind the club facing the ball
yeah you’re going to lose that
compression right and so now I have to
bring it back a little bit into this
middle of the stance a little closer
anyway yeah you probably would yeah yeah
just to get it uh get contact so you’re
dealing with these tiny little
adjustments I they’re so important yeah
they’re so important yeah definitely cuz
it’s yeah that’s that’s the way that you
you have to be able to see that Arc and
how it matches up to the Contour and
should we should we try one of these
that’s more like that
yeah give it a
go you know that’s pretty common to you
know often have it something run down
you do most of the time what you’re
going to run into is something where
it’s you where it’ll be something where
someone has Rak it say for instance here
you see how someone Rak this but it kind
of clumped off and fell there so you end
up with something like that yeah you
know now you got it you got it behind
there plus this is a CH this would be a
really challenging Li because you’re on
a downhill slope and you got same stand
behind it yeah so and you because of
that you might choose an easier Club
that’s not going to get there just to
get out maybe n iron or right that’s
like where you start really start taking
into
account you know what’s what’s the best
place that you can you can get it just
to get out of there should we try it go
for it okay so here let’s see I got this
going I’m uh going to try to hit it thin
but be an open but be a little instead
of being here I’m going to be a little
bit more in the center and try to stay
back on the
heels there there’s a lot going on there
it’s okay though you know yeah and let’s
see so I’m here bring this
up
I think I hit the side of the you did it
rolled up just a little bit that was
really really close though yeah
yeah let’s see this is really good yeah
let’s try that one more time I think you
I think you just about had
that all right so that Li is not quite
as bad there but it still is a
challenging one cuz it’s on that
downhill and it’s yeah there you go now
it’s
harder this is really quite a subtle
thing you’re teaching me it really is
yeah we we’ve we’ve kind of stumbled
into advanced
geometry hit the lip again so close see
and this is where you’re you’re dealing
with right you’ve got a lip that you’ve
got a cover but you’re on a down slope
and the ball is sitting down so you’ve
got a trifecta of difficulty on this
shot so I would normally probably you
know choose a nine iron or something
yep but imagine you’ve got something in
front of you that you got to you got to
get over yeah you know uh maybe you got
water on the side of it and you need to
carry it need to carry it 100
yards
I think I still hit the lip yeah and I’m
I’m
intentionally you know I don’t know what
I’m intentionally doing try and put the
ball you got to try and put it a little
bit further forwards here
okay but like you said this might be a
good in
for for more Loft so the way that you’re
going to add more Loft to it in this
case maintaining the seven iron is just
put it slightly further
forwards I don’t know I still hit the
lip
mhm and uh let’s
see you’re getting really close to it
right
there oh you
okay think maybe narrowing your stance
up might help just a little bit
here
so let’s see we’re kind
of there we go yeah this is a tough
shot
all right put your feet right
there so let me think about so for me
that seems like it’s in the middle of my
stance
okay what I’m doing is I’m trying to
match it where I can get I I know I can
make contact with the ball and then I’m
also trying to to so I’m kind of moving
it back on the slope there a little bit
and then I’m trying to get it as far
forward as I can so I can get it up over
that lip there okay and I’ll open it a
little bit maybe you could you could do
that that’s yeah that’s that’s a tough
one there yeah all right let’s try that
let’s try that one more
time let me see if I can see if I can do
this one
here put a little bit more sand behind
it it seems like a a lot of space that I
should be able to clear that
lip You Know It’s just tough because of
the downhill slope here so the downhill
slope is making that lip in
relation almost twice as high yeah
because you’re having to move it in the
back of the St cuz now all of a sudden
what’s happening is this seven iron is
turning into a uh into a five iron
because the more that it’s going
back it’s it’s delofting the club and
it’s hard to add it’s hard to add Loft
to it because there’s
no there’s no clearance behind the ball
so it has to be more of a descending
blow because there’s no because there’s
all that sand behind it right so we just
got a really complex
shot so I’m going to try and hit this a
little bit steeper so I won’t be able to
hit this quite as thin as I usually like
to well that was nice yeah and see I had
and I know I’m not going to get as much
distance on it
because I ended up with a little bit of
sand in between the club face and the
ball yeah so I kind of just have to play
for that it’s almost like a there’s a
very similar shot when you’re in the
bunker say you got a 40 50 60 yard
bunker shot where you would actually hit
uh a seven iron you know six iron five
iron and hit the very similar shot or
even like an eight or nine iron it just
depends on on your lie and how much sand
that you’re taking out of there yeah mhm
this was very instructive thank you yeah
you’re very welcome you did a great
job so let’s see if I’m going to do
something like I’m trying to think about
what my arms are doing like
this yeah you can just kind of think it
goes out in front of you and then just
stays up so up in front like this mhm
and there you go down back
exactly pretty good let’s see nice
see if I can fall to the
right walk to the
right yeah like that looks
good
yeah yeah should I try them go for it
okay so let’s see now I’m aiming this
way M and there’s my
wall now let’s see I got to bring it
above the ball so going to jump like
this and then yep and give it plenty of
time through the transition the place
where most people rush it is is right
through here yeah where they start going
here into the downswing this is where
you really want to get in that same
sensation like you’re you’re just
finishing the turn here yeah so
you’re this is where you slow down the
transition so it’s here where you start
having the control over over your fall
okay you know it’s just that slight move
which direction is it going and what
amount is it
going okay and how about ball position I
I’m putting it probably a little further
forwards cuz just like just like the
sand or or just like an uphill shot
because the ball is is teed up here
you’re going to be wanting to catch it
more on the upswing so does this look
like the right uh I would say you
probably could put it a little further
forwards there even more yeah actually
you have a good amount of room to work
with it there okay and you know if you
want to hit it higher you can put it a
little bit further
forward but go ahead and start with it
kind of find your find your
groove nice good start and that fed it
did and it covered covered the
blue so you know you picked out a good
cover distance in a good wall and a good
good initial
[Music]
alignment I didn’t see that at all uh
that one was a runner off to the left
there he got it got fast in that change
of Direction what we were talking about
there there you go
I would say that’s really on the fast
side trying to slow that whole thing
down
yeah there you
go fast as yeah that’s the the thing
slow the whole thing
down
nice that’s
awesome
that was so funky so there’s a perfect
example you saw how that that Drew when
you intended to fade it I’m not even
sure did it it did so it started off it
it ended up to the right of the blue
flag yeah but it started drawing because
what happened was you started going
through here yeah and your weight moved
so far forwards this way that your
alignment was to the right of where you
anticipated and it shoved your body
backwards and pushed you into a draw
path so this is just where aim a little
bit further left and dial the tempo down
a little bit more in the
change
so you see how that went to the right of
your wall there big time yeah yeah aim
further left on the next one yeah go
ahead to the next series over
here
I didn’t see that but it sounded good
yeah prra I think
nice fall right
direction
see that’s where it gets really fast
through the change yeah okay let’s see
if I can slow it down your hands move
because your knees
move no more no less okay do everything
together everything
together
beautiful oh that was pretty good it’s
going to be over my wall yep so aim just
a little further left on the next
one you can try and fall a little bit
more to the left to lessen that
fade oh yeah that was great that was
kind of I think what I’m trying to do
there was a bit fade mhm
uh very
nice
all right feel get a little rush there
so your hands that’s a good example
where your hands were moving faster than
the pace of your your lower
body take off my shirt
here it’s interesting because
uh you know you’re telling me that helps
me think about what happened because uh
I know when I Rush something but this
but having everything in sequence is a
different you know like you’re saying
keep everything moving at the same it’s
almost like a statue turning back and
forth yeah a stat okay go ahead to that
that series over
there
very close was a good good
Miss could be over my wall I think but
pretty close I didn’t see it land did
you see it landed right on it oh did it
on the wall you mean right on the wall
yeah I thought so you’re you want to
keep it a little bit further to the left
of
it imagine everything to the right of
that wall is
water
all right so one thing that happens to a
lot of people here is it was fast it was
fast and the place where it got really
fast was through here uhhuh so this is
the part people start sometimes thinking
of trying to create power or momentum
here yeah it’s not the place to create
momentum you create momentum by getting
your
body to move into that
slot that’s what creates the the ability
to turn
through much
better was that straight or it looked
I’m aiming it was almost dead straight
if it had anything it was it was a
slight fade okay yeah cuz it looked uh
it was definitely to the right of where
I was aiming but I didn’t see it which
is is going to happen just CU your
weight’s moving into it so that’s just
how that Dynamic alignment
works it’s over the wall but that’s too
far it is you’re doing good though
you’re making really good
contact you feel how your body kind of
ended up shoved forwards a little bit
there that’s what changed the alignment
to the right it was definitely a
rushed
MH
just stay poised as you’re turning
around relax relax yeah your shoulders
will stay level
everything I didn’t see it uh started a
little bit left had just a baby draw on
it so that’s kind of where your your
body is shoving forwards and you got
stuck and had to come back just slightly
slow down that change just a little bit
up
there if you want to go ahead and add
the walk to it add to walk to it get
yourself thinking okay a few steps
further down the road and let everything
else just feed
backwards there you go I’m over my wall
I think or close yeah and you feel the
pace of your walk there how it was a
really fastpac walk was it yeah and you
notice how everything ended up further
to the right yeah slow it down a little
bit make it a little smoother walk you
won’t see as much alignment
change
better that worked pretty well yeah look
like Gary Player to
me yeah that’s what he
does
[Music]
