So what would you like to get from the session today then what’s going to be a better ball stri better ball strik I’m no compress the ball okay and I love the feel you compress it’s a great feel yeah there you go there’s a typical example the fish shot there’s the pull

Yeah nice strike again yeah good dist 56.9 carry 157 club path to to the left oh that’s me stand try to hard right oh that was near the heel pth to the left angle of attacks down as well so your swing directions a long way left

So all makes sense 4.9 club path down 7.7 angle of attack down so that’s you were swinging way to the left that yeah miles left am I going over the top then so what I want to do is just before we start changing things cuz if I say

Anything it’s going to influence your thinking what I want to do now is go on the pressure plate whenever you’re ready just far away again that’s off the heel it’s not the center of the club very interesting so those shots there were off the bottom of the club but

You’re swinging 9.2 de down down wow okay so 9 feel them getting stick yeah no but that’s feel that but that’s well your club path is only 1.5° to the right on those shots but you’re hting 9.9 de down to do it so what that means is if

That’s where we going this is a rough version of the Swing okay this is where we’re striking the ball and that’s the path so you’re swinging 92 de down so you’re swinging down which naturally puts your path to the right but your paths only just flly right so you swing he miles

Left cuz if I was to swing and if this was a say z0 angle attack I’d really be there right but because I’m hting down it enables me to get my path fairly neutral but my swing’s going this way right that means when I start to hit up

With a driver say I’m over here that’s not cutting so the same swing but I’m miles left that means now if my face squares up to that anywhere close I’m miles left and if it’s slightly open I’ve got this going on which is exactly what it’s talking about which means if I

Don’t change my swing direction I’ve got to change the angle of attack so I have to so your body’s worked it out and it’s naturally swinging down steep to try and get that path over there yeah just means it makes it hard now with your less lofted clubs because you’re eating so

Much down so with your seven item you can crunch it comes out strong flies 160 when you get a good strike but you’re coming down so steep you’ve also got to be very accurate if you’re coming down steep you got to be very accurate with

Your strike on the ball you coming a bit shallower you’ve got more room for error if you like you still want to be coming down but on a more gradual angle of attack so maybe say I don’t know two and a half three three four degrees 5 degrees once you start getting

Into the high single digits um on on an angle of attack what that means is it means you’ve got a swing left for that path to go out for that path to be fairly neutral and it means then as soon as you go off the TEEG you’re over

Here unless you make a big wholesale change but that would feel that would feel well feel crazy to you which is where we’re going to have to go but the minute the way you’re moving your body won’t recognize this space we’re not really using pressure to move we’re

Really moving and the pressure is just reacting to us it’s moving at the same speed and then you start to change direction so you press your shifts uh but that white l Line’s not really doing much this should be rotating right so we’re not really creating any rotational force from the

Ground but you’re rotating yes so if we’re not using the ground for torque and then you then transferring that through the body we got to get the torque from somewhere else and the easiest place to go is the is the Torso yeah that’s that’s me and essentially

What that’s doing is it’s throwing your swing direction to the left so now you’re going left now you hit it that’s where you get the steepness from as well essentially what you’re doing is using mask to move pressure instead of pressure to so you’re doing this instead

Of I can Mo and rotate if I’m doing it in my body this is really reacting so slow I’m not really using the ground it’s just moving with me we’ve got to switch it around just have a few little swings in the air back and forth Just side to side

Just feeling a bit of a spring in the body just let the club swing up and down now you don’t have to flail it so much just let it swing bit more up and down there you go and feel yourself start to Spring a little bit up and

Down that’s it but then you’re going to spring when the club’s up there so swing through now you see now just feel yourself soften and drop into the floor a bit so let your body drop now spring up to twist to throw it back that’s it

Now there you go in so you run waiting off the floor you’re going up and down down and up brilliant feel how late that club is y nice so this is giving you this movement is a massive component of rotation without that yeah it’s like you trying to throw a ball staying in

Flexion rotating got to extend to rotate got to stand up yeah just with your right hand we’re only going to do back swing first pushing off the ball of the foot to let you to unload body rotate just one yeah just right handed James please

Yeah this is why your hand needs to be able to do this get your grip needs toble to do this quick needs to be able to make that club weightless yeah too late twing it Forward first forward first yeah that’s better cuz notice here I’m just doing my

Hand i’m use my that’s okay that’s fine but I wa to do first of all just notice how that feels and then notice how that feels that feels heavy heavy inertia on you now wait I feel that your body’s loaded yeah there you can move you can spring you can

Rotate that’s it at that so you can throw the club up you see you can really spring that’s it bit more drop there we go so there’s a spring think of it as a literally a piston going up up and down no no sideways movement no just up and down and that

Rotates you and then hold it there and now put your left hand on take your left hand up to it like that just let it swing in the air freely and then brilliant that’s P yeah that was fantastic you how your body BRAC how leg snaps you back and look at that that

Lets your arms go after brilliant have a couple of shots using the spring well done it’s better well done brilliant that come on come on more that that was very easy I had to stand the club GRE like your arms drop the club drop different feel yeah it feels easy

Fantastic think I do one look at that and notice where you’re striking the ball on the face so it’s not off the bottom you’re not getting that real steep angle and a shallow strike at that oh that was a good shot the best one it’s so good isn’t it really

Nice so we need a little bit more fluidity at the beginning of the Swing it’s too rigid it’s like trying to jump you need to go that way to go that way you need to go that way to go that way and you got swing so at the start of the

Swing forward pressing and yeah and also going down so when you forward press go down to then push up to go back yeah so you can actually start to get the flow the the swing just reacts to your movement brilliant hold on attack angle 3° down club path 3° right perfect yeah absolutely

Perfect at that that is beautiful so we know that your pressure didn’t really move it started to move better from side to side okay now for your body to able to use that pressure effectively it’s got to be able to shift it quick it’s also going to shift it

While you’re going up and down so it’s like you moving L you move basically in two different directions you’re going up and down and your pressure is going from side to side you start with your the balls of your feet on here so your heels

Are off and all you’re going to do is you’re going to drop and pop so it’s like popping through the pelv this like you just jump in what you’re going to do is you’re going to drop pop Drop pop and you’re going to go red and then

Orange yeah so so naturally people we we Stay Loaded into the floor and try and push against the floor and slide if you push off the floor it’s easier so you’ll go almost onto your toes use your tip toes that’s it and then drop and pop it way

Good so it makes it easy to slide CU you’re unweighted yes oh yeah good brilliant and then as you get more confident with it you’ll go drop pop Drop Pop just half steps it’s it’s not about going far it’s just short sharp bang bang it’s a br that’s it

Perfect nice okay brilliant just grab your golf club James there just have a couple of swings on here no ball just swing it in the air see how it feels just back and forth big full swing oh and again just exploring that put awesome that’s the

One fantastic then you can let the face rotate and you get that drawer beautiful isn’t it nice that’s a one that’s awesome that’s the one oh that is a beautiful golf shot that’s perfect Jam isn’t it does does indeed so let’s grab your driver let’s lip Outside
