ten-year-old that's awesome we have a

03:31

full probably hour I'm guessing maybe

03:36

even a little bit more yeah real quick

03:40

on the comments guys so the comments are

03:42

all private and the reason why we did

03:45

that is just so people don't get caught

03:49

up in all the comments and everything

03:50

like that so that's why that's why no

03:54

one else can see can see the comments so

03:57

we don't want you guys to get distracted

03:59

from all the knowledge that Tom Segundo

04:02

is gonna be laying down for us today so

04:03

we can go play our best golf this year

04:06

that

04:06

why we disabled comments to keep it that

04:09

simple the reason why Tom and I have the

04:14

earmuffs on or I have the earmuffs he's

04:16

looks like he's got the earbuds in is to

04:18

reduce the echo because we do have some

04:21

we do have some video that we're going

04:24

to be playing because it's great to have

04:28

this webinar and everything you get to

04:29

learn a little bit about us but the most

04:32

important thing that Tom wanted I wanted

04:34

to do for you guys is make sure that you

04:36

guys have some concrete things some of

04:38

the most important things that you can

04:40

take away from this webinar and go ahead

04:43

04:48

06:18

people registered for the

06:20

event I'm sure I'm sure it's probably

06:23

still going David if you can't see me

06:25

and you can see Tom I think there's a

06:27

way on your end to kind of control the

06:29

video of what's going on up there

06:33

but yeah so super super excited so let's

06:38

go ahead and get into it that's awesome

06:42

well alright so who is this webinar for

06:46

if you're looking to improve your swing

06:53

the quickest way possible and you are

06:59

definitely in the right place because

07:01

Tom's instruction there's comments here

07:04

talking about people who have reduced

07:05

their handicap by seven strokes in a

07:08

couple of weeks if you want to be more

07:12

consistent playing golf if you want to

07:14

have more fun you are definitely in the

07:17

right place and we're going to be

07:19

providing you that today who is this not

07:24

for if you want to perfect all the

07:31

perfect all the p9 positions and you

07:35

want your swing to look a certain way

07:37

and you're totally dialed into that

07:40

that's this is probably not for you if

07:43

you're not willing to keep an open mind

07:45

about the golf swing this is probably

07:48

not for you

07:49

and if you're not willing to learn

07:50

quote-unquote different ideas this is

07:55

and when I say different some of these

07:57

things have been around for a long time

07:59

but they may be different from some of

08:02

the traditional coaching that we're

08:05

probably all accustomed to all right so

08:09

let's go ahead and get in here we're

08:10

gonna do a couple quick BIOS we'll get

08:17

to guys there's gonna be a Q&A session

08:20

so I would hold off your questions

08:23

because some of your questions might get

08:24

answered during the presentation and

08:27

then we'll specifically have a Q&A

08:31

he's the founder of Segundo golf his

09:44

YouTube channel has been blowing up

09:46

because he's been helping golfers lower

09:50

their scores and strike the ball like

09:52

the wrath of God like he did in his last

09:55

driver video and he also I believe he's

10:02

10:04

mistaken that's correct if you watch

10:06

some of those socially distanced got the

10:08

socially distance golf academy you'll

interviewed by one of the like regional

10:25

news like that order this lead anchor in

10:28

the second I hit hit okay to get on that

11:05

video chat all the cameras were on the

11:09

screen and everything and we were

talking about his journey or how his

11:14

swing it improved so much using the

11:15

things we're going to talk about in the

11:16

webinar today yeah so we had a great

11:20

time my golf swing it was a ton of fun

11:22

and really simple I mean he just

11:24

couldn't believe how fast he was

11:26

improving that's awesome that's awesome

11:31

here but we we reached out to you

11:33

probably before he did so I'm gonna I'm

11:35

12:09

guys other colors all right yeah that's

12:14

true we got Jets come colors ed so there

12:16

you go hop on some up club alright so

12:20

let's go ahead and Jerry's a Bills fan

12:23

so Tom I think one of the things I think

12:27

really resonates with a lot of people

12:29

especially if they haven't heard it is

12:31

kind of your story of becoming a PGA

12:35

member so can you just kind of tell us

12:38

about your story and her story the PGA

12:42

its the PGA of America you might be

12:44

familiar with the PGA Championship

12:46

that's the organization that I belong to

12:49

the PGA of America and as a member we're

12:51

experts in the business side of golf and

12:53

I particularly like to teach so that's

12:56

that's my niche in that and when you

12:58

become a member you're just more of a

13:00

certified expert

13:01

twenty-eight thousand members in the

13:03

entire world so it's a more exclusive

13:05

group of people that are devoted to

13:08

growing the game and as you see on my

13:10

YouTube videos I'm all about you getting

13:12

the swing down as fast as possible

13:14

having the most fun as fast as possible

13:17

because this game is so hard but the my

13:21

story is probably like most of y'all's

13:24

arranged rat I'm a ranger at hitting

13:27

thousands of balls I was a high-school

13:28

golfer and I played highschool golf

13:31

because it was fun it was free something

13:33

to do and I got the bug and I was all

13:38

about going through every youtube video

13:40

every golf magazine and getting top

13:42

instruction from anybody you know paying

13:44

for instruction and what I found was I

13:47

had the work ethic in the drive to get

13:50

anything done I was always a really

13:51

diligent hard worker like when I play

13:52

guitar you plot you practice guitar you

13:55

get better blowin golf it was

13:56

frustrating because I work on all these

13:58

things these instructors and experts

14:00

were telling me to do and that was on

14:02

the traditional golf swing and I was not

14:04

getting better at all in fact my game

14:06

would just hover anywhere between 75 and

14:09

95 and mostly towards the upper end of

14:11

that spectrum so it was rather miserable

14:12

and I love golf so much I wanted to get

14:16

into the business side of it so I went

14:18

to Coastal Carolina University and they

14:20

have a PGA program where you can get

14:22

your membership and also business degree

14:24

so it was a great a great program to do

14:27

both of that 90o is a ton of nitrogen

14:31

setting up your schedule where you have

14:33

your classes in the morning and you just

14:34

go up the rest of the day that's signed

14:39

up it was like a big choice on something

14:41

at education they had so when I my goal

14:44

is to play Tour golf I wanted to get see

14:46

how good I could get figure if I can hit

14:50

great thousands of balls a day at least

14:52

as many as possible and we've got the

14:54

track man and we've got the hitting base

14:57

we've got three instructors available

14:59

all day long how could you not become a

15:03

tour player with the work ethic you put

15:05

into it well what I found was my first

15:08

messenger in I was putting all the work

15:11

in in fact we had this practice vlog and

15:13

I should have brought here but there was

15:15

a log you log

15:15

you're practiced as courier for each day

15:20

and how many balls you hit him what you

15:21

did and I swear that log was worn out in

15:23

the first semester like all 30 pages of

15:25

it and I wasn't getting any better I had

15:28

taken so many lessons and I was just

15:31

about throwing my clubs in the lake I

15:32

was done I was about ready to give up

15:35

the dream of playing golf playing

15:38

playing golf or even just playing off

15:40

the rest of my life for anything I'm

15:41

just ready to take up basket-weaving

15:43

something else and it just so happened

15:49

that I had to take a plane test you have

15:52

to take one to become a PGA member

15:53

because they don't want the average

15:55

people shooting they want PGM ever

15:57

remember shooting in the hundreds right

15:58

you got a pass it doesn't look good

16:01

doesn't look good for their for their

16:03

kind of their their program and their

16:07

yeah they want to have notice hold

16:09

quality with the membership there I

16:11

don't be able to have some some

16:12

reputation quality with the name and I

16:15

remember my first playing test I shot

16:18

like in 95 80 or something ridiculous

16:21

and I was ready to throw my clubs in the

16:23

lake again and then that next semester I

16:27

had to go on an internship and I met

16:29

this golf pro at this golf course where

16:32

he was my mentor and I said hey I'm at

16:36

absolute rock bottom here

16:38

can you help right hey thinking I'm his

16:42

grasping at straws and he said yeah

16:44

let's just go out at lunchtime on your

16:46

break and we'll just do a quick little

16:47

lesson for half an hour okay great go

16:51

out there and give you an idea about my

16:54

background I'm all traditional golf

16:56

swing at this point no not open anything

16:59

outside of that room so I'm all about

17:01

shifting your weight lifting your arms

17:03

release in the hands all those

17:06

traditional things that you all probably

17:07

learned on YouTube and in the magazines

17:10

most commonly so I'm very against and

17:13

not open to trying something such as

17:15

stack until heaven heavens I said those

17:17

two words but the pros said when I got

17:22

on the range you saw my swing he saw me

17:24

lift my arms up he saw me shift my

17:25

weight and saw me hacking it I'll play

17:27

an army be off left and right

17:29

he said all right after about three

17:31

balls he had enough he said stop okay

17:33

here's what I want you to do I want you

17:36

to put your weight on your left leg

17:37

about 55 or 60 percent and then in the

17:40

backswing I want you to instead of

17:42

lifting only take it around your body

17:43

I'm like that sounds like stack until

17:47

and he's like just shut up and hit the

17:50

ball and my mind the time I didn't have

17:55

an open mind to this I mean John talks

17:57

about how you gotta have an open mind

17:59

for this I had no other options I was I

18:02

was right I would you know I bought him

18:05

anything off the street from anybody and

18:08

the first ball I hit was like this

18:11

beautiful push draw and it was farther

18:12

than I've ever hit a 6-iron in my life I

18:15

was like I didn't feel like anything and

18:18

then I did it again didn't again I did

18:21

it again to have a five of them in a row

18:23

beautiful divot beautiful ball flight

18:25

they're all draws I didn't hit draw

18:27

since like 1993 when I was born and so

18:31

from that moment I was sold and then

18:35

when I started getting more into the

18:38

swing I wanted to help as many people as

18:41

possible realize that buttery feeling of

18:44

impact it didn't have to be thousands of

18:46

balls a day in fact in two weeks after

18:48

that lesson I only practice a couple

18:50

days and hit like 10 balls between lunch

18:52

each day and I shot a 74 from the tips

18:56

on a really difficult golf course

18:58

I went from playing the white tee

19:00

shooting ninety-five of that course to

19:01

shooting a 74 from the tips and that was

19:06

a look at my pace like how how you can't

19:10

even comprehend the amount of

19:11

improvement you don't even know what

19:13

just happened like a week two weeks

19:14

before that I was in the dumps and here

19:16

here we are playing the best off ever

19:18

and so I wanted to just take a mission

19:22

from that moment forward and just share

19:23

that with the rest of the world saying

19:25

can we do this as a community golfers

19:29

and for your player ability tests like

19:34

what do you have what like what do you

19:37

have to shoot in order to to pass that

19:40

so you can become right right so it

19:43

it's the slope rating the course divided

19:45

by 2 but it usually factors out to be

19:47

like 279 s and you play 36 holes in one

19:51

day

19:51

and you got to shoot you're playing for

19:53

your career they make it easy for you

19:56

they put all the holes in the middle of

19:58

the green or the fattest part of the

19:59

green but like I said there's that

20:01

mental element of playing for your

20:02

career that gets your nerves up you sure

20:07

yeah I'm sure so it's basically it's

20:09

it's it's kind of based on how hard

20:11

right right it's based on how hard the

20:13

courses and I remember that day I was

20:17

taking the p80 I had been doing this new

20:20

swing for about a year and I just on

20:23

that range I was so nervous I was like

20:26

taking little I swear I was taking

20:28

animal pelts behind the ball it felt

20:30

like a foot behind the ball and I was so

20:32

nervous but then I remembered what I

20:34

learned through this swing was you know

20:36

if I could just keep my weight on the

20:37

left side and I can just swing my arms

20:39

and I really think too much about the

20:41

swing not get too technical

20:42

I can hit ball first every time so I

20:45

went out there and I turned what was

20:48

like a terrible rain session before the

20:50

round went on that first tee just kept

20:52

the way forward swung the arms hit ball

20:55

first almost every single time passed my

20:57

p80 yeah so you didn't even have enough

21:01

stuff on that day and and you were able

21:04

to pass it in in a new swing that yeah

21:09

it was almost like we're going into

21:10

France to speak to like live there and I

21:13

had hadn't even spoke French about a

21:15

week you know it's like one of those

21:16

things you're learning a new language

21:18

and then you're going right in red for

21:19

next week you have no experience there

21:21

well that's what it felt like and on

21:23

that first tee I told my playing

21:25

partners yeah you guys are gonna witness

21:27

a miracle today because that range

21:28

session my body was right behind me

21:30

let's see me lay sod and then I went on

21:32

the tee and I started keeping the

21:33

wakeboard

21:34

it all worked out beautifully yeah

21:38

David David just asked what did he shoot

21:41

to pass his PhD what it was like 79 80

21:45

I shot 279 s around a dot and it was

21:48

because of my cutting actually that it

21:50

got that close I didn't want it to ever

21:52

get bad yes but I played like 74 golf

21:56

long game my punting they used to call

21:58

me three-putt tom so it's not that bad

22:03

anymore it's just back in the day in

22:06

college it was it was an event right

22:10

right I think you know what the great

22:12

thing about that story and and why I

22:15

wanted you to share that is because I

22:17

think it it provides people with some

22:23

hope if they are struggling with their

22:25

golf game that you can turn it around

22:28

and it doesn't have to take a year no

22:31

I've finished absolutely right I'm one

22:34

of those people that would like I said

22:35

work ethic wise go to the range beat

22:37

balls I know so many people like that we

22:40

go to the range because we we have the

22:42

swing and it feels great that one day

22:44

and then we're worried it's not going to

22:45

come back the next day so we hit more

22:47

balls and then we come back the next day

22:49

we wonder is it gonna be back as I swing

22:51

gonna be there it's gonna show up maybe

22:52

maybe

22:53

well with this swing right acree weeks

22:56

off at a time in fact that one video

22:58

that blew up the one where I got in

22:59

front of the camera and I was saying

23:01

what's going on here like what are we

23:04

doing as a society golfer we need to get

23:06

this figured out this is so much easier

23:08

why make it so hard

23:10

ready I just thought of a cruise ship

23:12

boom heared the shot it was actually my

23:13

first full swing since getting off the

23:15

cruise right yeah hey guys we'll get to

23:20

questions here in a minute we have a

23:21

whole section just mapped out for the q

23:24

and A's thanks for sharing that time I

23:27

think that's awesome we're going to go

23:29

ahead and get actually we're gonna be

23:31

playing some video clips right now all

23:36

right so these were three things that

23:40

Tom really feels that could really kind

23:43

of completely change your ball striking

23:47

which is weight forward hands in and

23:49

shoulder down and we're gonna play a

23:51

couple clips they're not very long clips

23:54

so you guys can and then we'll have Tom

23:57

kind of talk us through that so just so

24:01

you know the glass is centered the

24:03

pre-class you're getting is centered

24:05

around these three things and we're

24:07

gonna talk about them so it's really

24:08

important yeah

24:11

yeah and if you guys haven't gotten the

24:13

free class don't worry about it because

24:16

I will be sending that out later on

24:18

tonight after after we get done here all

24:23

right so let's go ahead and get this

24:25

rate for like a crazy shlump

24:27

are you tired of hitting the ball like a

24:28

crazy slob yeah me a second here I'm

24:34

going to fast-forward this get over it

24:37

deep a little too far every time and

24:44

have repeatable good contact every

24:46

single time what does this hold hold on

24:48

guys well it tells us this bottom part

24:51

of the hula hoop is the low point of the

24:53

swing that's where the club is gonna

24:55

make contact with the ground it's the

24:57

most important thing there we go all

25:02

right I'm gonna get over it get over it

25:06

hit it the pure strikes of your life now

25:10

the tip I received wasn't quite

25:12

literally get over it Tom but it's

25:15

related to that it's called weight

25:17

forward these the importance of getting

25:20

your weight forward in the setup and

25:21

keeping that weight forward throughout

25:23

the golf swing it is so transformative

25:25

you don't want to miss this lesson this

25:28

hula-hoop is a representation of the

25:30

golf swing the golf swing is a circle

25:33

plain and simple

25:34

it's not a giant oval where we swing

25:36

back and swing through this way it's

25:38

just a circle go back to geometry class

25:41

get your compasses out we're gonna draw

25:43

perfect circles if you can draw a

25:45

perfect circle with your golf swing

25:46

you'll hit the ball same spot every time

25:49

and have repeatable good contact every

25:51

single time what does this hole hook

25:53

tell us well it tells us this bottom

25:56

part of the hula hoop is the low point

25:59

of the swing that's where the club is

26:00

gonna make contact with the ground it's

26:02

the most important thing you want to

26:04

control when it comes to contact because

26:06

that bottom right there moves throughout

26:09

the swing you can see it's kind of like

26:11

trying to time it up it's almost

26:14

impossible make consistent good contact

26:16

you're always going to be guessing do

26:18

you want to have consistent contact

26:19

today you've got to keep the low point

26:21

of the swing in

26:23

same spot but the whole time how do we

26:26

do that step 1 put place the weight on

26:30

the front leg to lead like the weight

26:32

forward it's gonna help us maintain that

26:35

same point of contact why is that well

26:38

if I'm a shifter I load one side and

26:43

then I load the other side

26:44

Mike hula-hoop moves to the right and to

26:47

the left

26:48

good luck timing it folks if you want to

26:51

play the timing game you shouldn't be

26:53

here on this channel this channel is

26:55

only for people that want to hit it

26:56

consistently in the same spot every time

26:57

go somewhere else where they teach you

26:59

to shift and lift we got this whole hoop

27:00

right here when I place my weight

27:02

forward and throughout my golf swing

27:05

keep the weight there on the front side

27:07

my hula hoop doesn't shift to the right

27:11

or to the left it stays constant now

27:14

assume I got to turn my shoulders in a

27:16

circle around my body the wool hoops

27:19

gonna stay in the same place throughout

27:20

the swing that's point number one you

27:24

want a same point of contact let's get

27:26

the weight forward here we go board here

27:28

we go you're not used to getting the

27:32

weight forward because okay so your

27:37

first point time as far as weight

27:39

forward talk us through why that is just

27:44

so crucial sure firstly you saw the hula

27:46

hoop and I think that's the best analogy

27:49

I can ever give you for how the golf

27:51

swing works it's just a circle if we

27:54

draw a perfect circle like in in

27:55

geometry class on a piece of paper at

27:57

the bottom of that circle as I just

27:59

mentioned in the video is your contact

28:02

point now why is this a big deal well

28:04

the number one fundamental in golf is to

28:07

have a consistent point of contact every

28:09

single time and you watch the pros on TV

28:12

all dirt all the dirt ball and dirt and

28:15

it's not like a bunch of robots the

28:17

number one problem I hear from amateur

28:19

golfers on the lesson tee they always

28:21

want more consistency so number one

28:25

reason they don't have consistency is

28:26

their weights going all over the place

28:28

the contact point for them is always

28:30

moving in fact when you watch golf

28:33

swings you can you can put a Majan Airy

28:35

circle around somebody's

28:36

and if they shift around you'll actually

28:39

see this imaginary circle move for us

28:42

you'll see say no wonder they're

28:43

inconsistent they're shifted all over

28:45

the place it's like spinning a roulette

28:47

we all in saying what are we gonna get

28:49

next fat then clean no no

28:51

so the weight forward really anchors the

28:54

contact point and not only that it's so

28:58

important because the rest of your swing

28:59

ends up working the other two components

29:01

the hands in the shoulder down work

29:04

because the weight is forward and you'll

29:06

find that out at your own swing as you

29:08

try out some of these moves on the

29:10

Ranger when you go practice that's

29:15

awesome yeah and it's funny when I was

29:19

like looking to change my swing and

29:21

whatnot and I was just I saw all these

29:24

like different little videos and stuff

29:26

and so some people may be familiar with

29:30

athletic motion golf but they kind of

29:34

measure like every those two guys I

29:36

think Sean Webb and I thought the other

29:38

guys Mike something they like measure

29:42

they measure everything and it was funny

29:48

when they they were looking at pros and

29:50

like during their takeaway and that

29:53

every pro is a little bit different

29:55

right but one of their videos kind of

29:57

stood out to me because they said as

29:58

soon as that's right Rick oh yes they

30:01

use gears um as soon as they as soon as

30:05

they as soon as they start going back

30:08

they're saying they're already a lot

30:11

like a bunch of pros are already

30:13

shifting that they basically were trying

30:16

to tell people like they when they were

30:18

teaching people like when does the when

30:21

does the transition happen and they were

30:23

basically saying it pretty much happens

30:25

I'll start taking the club those who are

30:28

already going forward so I found that

30:32

real oh one thing you can get there is

30:34

just watch the players on TV and you'll

30:37

see they're neat there look at their

30:39

kneecaps these are the kneecaps right

30:40

here and as they take the club back the

30:43

kneecaps start working like this and so

30:46

for you to have your kneecap down you've

30:48

got to have weight on that leg

30:49

there's no

30:50

way I've tried to put my body in

30:52

contorted positions to see you know

30:55

could I have my knee down while having a

30:57

bunch of weight on the right side I

30:58

could but it doesn't really work like

31:00

the pros do so you get really contorted

31:04

an awkward do it any other way

31:05

but as you take that Club back the

31:07

weight works like this and then you see

31:10

them push off of that weight on the

31:11

downswing that's how you see like Rory

31:12

McIlroy everybody's doing it now they

31:15

push off the ground and they almost jump

31:17

up in the air creating all that speed

31:20

yeah and real quick I know there might

31:23

be a couple folks who might not hear or

31:28

some of the videos a little slow I just

31:30

want you guys to know that I'm gonna be

31:32

sending everything out and there's going

31:34

to be a replay of this it's just we're

31:37

maxed out as far as the people in here

31:41

so there might be a couple folks with

31:44

with a little bit of issues okay so

31:48

let's go ahead we're gonna go to the

31:49

next video here hey there's two Guto

31:56

golfers Tom Segundo he pay their sagoo

31:58

doe golfers Tom sagoo doe here PGA

32:00

member founder of Segundo Golf and in

32:03

this week's episode we are uncovering to

32:05

swing keys that changed my golfing life

32:08

forever and I think they'll change your

32:10

golfing life forever too and for the

32:12

better your ball striking will go

32:14

through the roof more distance better

32:16

consistency with these two keys and

32:18

these two keys came from my first stack

32:22

and tilt lessons so your hold on one

32:24

second guys I got to get the the time

32:27

and on they're learning exactly what I

32:29

learn that first lesson you're learning

32:31

exactly what I learn that first lesson

32:33

and it changed me forever took me from

32:35

shooting ninety five to seventy five and

32:37

a span much everybody on tour takes

32:41

their hands and they won't tell you here

32:43

we are the drill setup you know why we

32:45

take the hands in it's not so much more

32:46

power potential there's no need to drop

32:48

the club in the slot anymore which means

32:51

less reliance on the hands for timing a

32:54

lot of less hand-eye coordination it's

32:56

more a body centric swing it's more body

32:58

friendly because it gets the body

33:00

turning how many more benefits

33:02

so I need to list here here's what we

33:05

need to do get us out just like this

33:06

target line club head line hand path

33:10

line you can use clubs doesn't matter

33:12

sticks clubs it all works we're gonna

33:14

focus on training this motion here we go

33:17

so I'm going to do things in threes I

33:19

like to practice in threes because it

33:22

helps you ingrain the motion much

33:24

quicker and if you recall I'm a big

33:26

proponent of exaggerating the feel

33:29

here's what we need to do if you trace

33:31

these lines you'll take the club in and

33:33

up there we go hands in hands behind my

33:38

right shoulder that's the benchmark I

33:40

want to get - Wow Wow so the hands in so

33:52

talk to us a little bit about the hands

33:55

in tom tom we've lost young we lost you

34:05

on audio this power source is for your

34:10

golf swing because the golf swings a

34:12

circle and I'm gonna do with my t-rex

34:13

arms here but if you imagine a tilted

34:15

circle here when I take the club back on

34:18

this tilted angle I've got to naturally

34:20

go around my body so if you tilt the

34:23

circle over you got to go around your

34:24

body a lot of people are taught to go

34:26

straight back and up when I go around my

34:28

body taking the club in you can get more

34:32

hip turn and not only that you get more

34:35

power potential because you're not

34:37

getting the business of lifting and then

34:39

chopping or lifting dropping in the

34:41

hitting it's a lot of work there's that

34:44

magical position people talk about the

34:46

downswing getting in the slot like you

34:48

know dropping it the slot and the hands

34:52

in just puts your hands right in the

34:55

slot in the backswing so you don't have

34:56

to think about it over downswing you're

34:58

right there and then the down swings are

35:00

already good to go it's very powerful in

35:02

fact most your backswing it's just like

35:06

a one-two punch take it in and then just

35:08

send it right yeah you know for me when

35:14

I when I when I

35:16

are trying some of the things that

35:18

you've been teaching one of the things

35:19

that I struggle with is that i-i-i had

35:25

too long of a swing so I would fill my

35:27

swing and even when I felt like I was

35:29

only going to like 9 o'clock my club was

35:33

getting way too far and I felt like if I

35:37

was at 9 o'clock I had like no time to

35:40

generate power basically what like the

35:44

hands in gives you enough death right

35:46

like you say in one of your videos like

35:48

hey you get you can be Bubba Watson

35:51

right who's freakish or if you take it

35:54

you can still get a lot of width in your

35:56

swing and death and you'll have Moreno

36:00

basically how many of us could be Bubba

36:03

Watson flexibility wise or we my back

36:06

could be shot after three or four swings

36:08

doing a swing like that and I used to

36:10

swing like that I had back pain but when

36:12

I started doing the hands in it was half

36:16

the effort double the power because I'm

36:19

not trying to coordinate all these

36:21

dropping and and you know swinging to

36:23

the ball mechanisms I'm just here and

36:25

here and yeah if I bring the club up

36:28

here I've got a ton of width but what

36:32

are you gonna do with this you got to

36:33

drop it then you got to hit it well I

36:35

get the same amount as that nice going

36:37

here and it's much easier to control a

36:41

ton of players are doing that on TV I

36:43

look at Tony FINA Charlie Hoffman are

36:46

great examples really effortless looking

36:48

shorter swings John ROM they're really

36:51

short swings but they hit the ball so

36:53

far yeah they do and you said I think

37:00

you mentioned in that video like you you

37:02

some people really might have to

37:04

exaggerate this move in order for them

37:07

to really drag it all right being a

37:10

former all lifters in the room raise

37:11

your hand

37:13

former lifter here you know hello my

37:16

name is Tom and I'm a lifter holic

37:18

former licker

37:20

yeah we got a few people around you

37:22

people over here Rick Rick Mike and

37:25

Ronnie they're almost hungry I'd lift is

37:28

there a lot of current lifters

37:31

Danny my happy Rick's getting lowered

37:37

brian says no way

37:39

okay yeah well it's no surprise about

37:43

95% of the golf repopulation left and

37:47

it's unfortunate because it's so much

37:49

effort yeah brian says he's a reformed

37:54

lifter and was a never lifter but a

37:58

swear

37:59

yeah and I'll tell you as far as an

38:01

exaggeration goes I took a lesson here

38:06

in Tampa that's where that's where I

38:08

live that's where up close at ism Tampa

38:10

I remember when I went to get a lesson I

38:17

he he actually wanted me to lift so you

38:20

know it was one of those traditional

38:22

things but it was funny he kept telling

38:24

me to lift and I thought I was lifting

38:26

and he's like Shawn he's like he's like

38:29

you gotta know something about calls

38:31

he's like I'm asking for foot but I'm

38:33

hoping for like you have answered that

38:35

it couldn't you know real words have not

38:37

been spoken and golf like those are yeah

38:39

we if you're a lifter in this room which

38:42

most of you are based on the comments

38:43

you're going to feel like I'm gonna

38:46

stand up here for a second

38:48

you're gonna feel like this you will

38:51

feel like this I mean even here here

38:53

right we're going here we want to I get

38:55

here you got a feel here it's it's just

38:58

how how your body learns because if it

39:01

feels normal

39:02

you haven't made a change if you feel

39:05

like oh I allow anyone say oh this feels

39:08

really good this feels really good and

39:10

say you haven't made a change cuz we own

39:12

the lesson he'll say man I love this new

39:13

backswing you just taught me tough you

39:15

haven't made a change you got to go

39:17

lower

39:18

Yeah right right

39:21

Isabella that's awesome so Isabella was

39:24

just talking about how she's increased

39:26

her driver distance by 40 yards much

39:29

easier swing I was taught in Taiwan and

39:33

10 shots better so she just moved here

39:35

in the last year that's awesome Tim and

39:38

Brian

39:38

you guys are bucks fans they're kind of

39:41

like Mike's

39:42

second favorite team but I'm like I'm

39:43

here on the show I want y'all to have

39:45

just just women on hands in to imagine

39:48

high-fiving yourself this is the ball

39:52

high-five that was probably really well

39:54

but the idea is when you lift and then

39:59

you chop this is what you're doing to

40:01

the golf ball if you want hit it

40:03

powerful go around boom it's so much

40:06

simpler that way instead of having to do

40:08

the awkward high-five

40:11

that's awesome yeah a lot of people

40:14

Randy was just saying that he's starting

40:17

to draw his uh his driver hey Michael I

40:21

got it I got it Rick says excuse a

40:28

mirror you got to matter and match your

40:30

feel with it's real so if you're feeling

40:32

like if you look in the mirror you see

40:34

you're still high even though it feels

40:35

like this you've got to keep going lower

40:37

until you get there I mean there's

40:39

especially when you're doing self-guided

40:41

like this you don't have anybody really

40:43

teaching you except over the internet

40:45

you've got to go lower and lower until

40:48

you get it where it should be and it's

40:50

beyond the shoulder line I mean yeah

40:52

total are down right hey guys yeah we

40:56

stopped the video the video hasn't been

40:58

playing so the video clips are only like

41:01

a minute or two and we're talking about

41:04

it I don't know and we're gonna get to

41:08

the all the questions you guys have

41:10

about slicing Danny and all that good

41:12

stuff all right so we got one more short

41:14

clip here yeah yeah the shoulder line or

41:21

slightly below you could get away with

41:24

or slightly below about this is fine too

41:27

about there but any lower you start to

41:31

run in some issues and any higher you

41:32

run its issues alright let's go ahead

41:39

and get this last video down there norms

41:41

and offense Tom hey they're going

41:43

offense Tom Saguna here PGA member and

41:45

founder of cejudo Golf and this week

41:47

I've got two simple keys for the best

41:50

backswing and downswing of your life so

41:54

let's get started who doesn't want this

41:56

here's the recipe for success we are

42:00

going to learn the backswing one you

42:02

need to tilt for a good solid back swing

42:06

and then on the downswing need to extend

42:07

for insane power and everybody on TVs

42:10

doing this all the best players do this

42:12

and if you focus on these two keys this

42:16

will really get you rocking and rolling

42:18

the backswing here's something we need

42:21

to do in the backswing makes our

42:22

backswing really solid we turn our

42:25

shoulders 90 degrees to our spine but a

42:28

lot of people instead of doing that they

42:31

lose their relationship to the ball by

42:33

turning their shoulders level like this

42:35

so they have this type of situation

42:38

going on which isn't good for your back

42:40

and on the downswing usually you have

42:42

that what we need to do instead is turn

42:46

our shoulders 90 degrees to our spine

42:48

you've heard me talk about this a

42:49

million times I'm gonna make it really

42:51

simple though what we need to do in the

42:53

backswing is tilt or turn our left

42:55

shoulder down

42:55

so the tilting motion is exactly this

42:58

with some turn now I'm exaggerating here

43:02

but you might say well there's no tilt

43:05

in the golf swing

43:06

I don't see a bunch of people swinging

43:08

like this well yeah you don't really see

43:11

them doing that but if you turn your

43:12

swing at a 45 degree angle like this and

43:16

I make my backswing

43:18

I'm fully tilted to left I'm not

43:22

standing here straight and just attorney

43:24

nope the shoulder tilt the spine tilt to

43:29

the target it's critical for getting

43:33

your club on playing in the backswing

43:35

because as I tilt this shoulder down or

43:37

as I tell my spine to the left as I'm

43:39

going through the backswing

43:41

it's setting the club on the proper

43:43

plane the tilting provides the upward

43:47

movement of the club so there's no need

43:49

to lift you're essentially just turning

43:51

your chest and the shoulders going down

43:54

by tilting so you see that takeaway

43:57

right there turn your chest toward away

43:59

from the target shoulders going down

44:01

there's your takeaway bodies turned I'm

44:03

not thinking about anything else

44:06

so you take this relationship here you

44:09

turn your chest to the right or to the

44:12

camera here I shut left shoulders down

44:14

my lead shoulder okay that's what you

44:18

should do

44:18

you're focusing on spine tilt spine tilt

44:21

to the left we have to turn there's the

44:23

backswing so when you go through the

44:26

backswing you might notice I hit one I'm

44:31

gonna tilt there we go perfect backswing

44:35

and how do you know it's perfect your

44:37

left arm your lead arm should be on your

44:38

shoulder line not low not above no

44:42

lifting and also your head's gonna be in

44:45

place because as you tilt you keep your

44:47

head in place your spine is going to

44:49

extend so here we go with back swing

44:52

boom heads in place I've turned great

44:57

tile back swing position that was all

45:00

due to me just tilting and turning my

45:03

spine like this the club reacted there

45:08

we go

45:09

so you hit a shot make sure I keep

45:12

everything in place all right we stopped

45:19

the video guys all right so shoulder or

45:23

shelter downtown it's huge

45:27

and and and I think a lot of people

45:30

don't they don't realize about the the

45:34

left side Bend or side tilt that

45:38

actually happens yeah and your back

45:40

you're tilting only toward the target

45:43

which is the amount of down that you

45:45

need a nice thing about this

45:47

there's no lifting required in this

45:49

swing because if you tilt enough if you

45:52

had a club I mean many of you are

45:54

probably in your living room or

45:55

somewhere in your office right now with

45:56

the computer it tilts enough the club

45:58

goes up so it gives you the upward

46:01

movement of the club but just by tilting

46:02

and would you believe that our shirts

46:05

have a built-in tilting device meter

46:08

right here if you're Pope you got a polo

46:10

shirt right now we we didn't know this

46:13

until the 21st century this little spot

46:15

right here is designed for your

46:18

shoulders to get to

46:19

and it's just below that bottom button

46:21

your shoulder goes down to this area and

46:25

then it turns over now all of you got

46:27

the turn we've all been taught to turn

46:29

I've seen more turn you know I see an

46:32

upturn you get that shoulder in your

46:34

chin turn turn turn you never see the

46:36

tilt so if you can get this shoulder

46:39

down to replace this spot but that gets

46:43

enough down and around then you you are

46:46

good to go in fact you have some space

46:48

between your shoulder and your chin at

46:50

the top instead of it hitting you a lot

46:53

of people are told to hit that shoulder

46:55

on your chin or like get it just under

46:57

your chin hit your chin like that gets

46:59

you I mean the shoulder down is to have

47:02

a relationship with the ball so when I

47:03

turn my shoulders down I've got a

47:06

relationship maintained

47:07

hello ball how are you you want to have

47:10

a good time you want to tell the golf

47:12

ball what to do you want the ball to do

47:13

what you want it to do you got to turn

47:15

the shoulder down yeah you know and I

47:20

was watching another video and I forget

47:26

who it was but it was another person who

47:29

was measuring stuff right and this was

47:31

pros versus a pros versus Am's video I

47:34

don't think I can't remember who was

47:35

athletic motion golf again or someone

47:37

else I don't remember who put it out but

47:40

they said one of the biggest differences

47:42

between a pro golfer and an amateur

47:45

golfer was that side toe they were

47:49

basically saying like I think on average

47:52

and I don't know what club they they had

47:53

but pros were really close to 40% like

47:56

most of them were between like 38 and

47:59

like 4 2 % somewhere between there and

48:02

they said most amateurs were at like 30

48:04

or 31 percent which is like that's a

48:07

huge difference you know what I mean

48:08

like that's like a you know that's like

48:10

a 30% difference as far as how much

48:13

someone's actually tilting versus not

48:14

tilting so I think you know when I

48:18

started watching all this stuff we'll go

48:21

ahead and move forward here because I

48:22

want to leave some time for Q&A s when I

48:26

started watching all this stuff and and

48:28

learning I don't even know if I came to

48:29

your video yet some of your videos but I

48:33

started watching all this stuff I saw

48:34

another one with me and my golf and

48:39

Pierce was changing his swing and stuff

48:42

like that and someone in the comments

48:43

was like hey it looks like what you're

48:46

trying to do is more stack and tilt um

48:49

so I thought all that stuff was

48:52

interesting and then I came across your

48:53

videos and my own swing issues everyone

48:57

is so I was a IIIi did the I did the top

49:04

top speed golf clay Ballard I'm sure a

49:07

lot of you guys have heard of clay

49:10

Ballard I went through his program at

49:13

and this isn't a knock on clay or

49:15

anything I think clays great I think his

49:17

I think his teaching and stuff that he

49:20

does is great it just for me I was just

49:23

my back was killing me and you know like

49:28

I said about earlier about my swing was

49:31

just too long and I just wasn't giving

49:33

enough depth or whatever but I had to

49:35

change because my back was just was just

49:38

hurting me so I saw all these other

49:40

videos of people kind of talking and

49:43

just kind of pieced it all together that

49:45

like this is like stack and tilt and

49:48

then Tom when you were going over your

49:50

stuff usually you're you just really

49:52

resonated with me and I was able to go

49:55

out immediately on my first range

49:58

session and was able to strike balls

50:01

crate and my driver dispersion which is

50:04

the worst Club in my bag is my driver my

50:06

irons are pretty good but my driver

50:10

dispersion is you know I'm playing army

50:13

golf you know left right left right

50:15

Oscar Bravo out of Bounce my driver

50:18

dispersion immediately totally narrowed

50:23

and then I don't lose any distance or

50:26

anything like that I bet if you took all

50:28

my shots I might have averaged even a

50:29

little bit more just because I'm I miss

50:31

hits

50:32

we're so few and far between and that's

50:35

why I say results results results

50:37

because you can't argue you know with

50:41

the result and everyone on here

50:44

has been commenting about some of the

50:46

results that they seen with some of your

50:49

coaching and things like that so I think

50:53

I think I think that's great I think

50:55

those three things can really help a lot

50:58

of golfers and and just before we go

51:00

into the QA those three things are all

51:02

related like if the weight is Ford you

51:06

can turn your shoulder down more the

51:08

weight is forward you can you can bring

51:09

the club in more things things do won't

51:12

happen unless you have these three

51:13

pieces they're all integral to your sway

51:15

and once you get them you got all right

51:20

so let's go ahead and get to some of

51:22

these questions guys you might have to

51:24

ask it twice because we got everyone is

51:26

still in here all right which is crazy

51:30

it's but I'm gonna try to get to all

51:33

these questions

51:36

so Bob asked Tom I know feels need to be

51:42

exaggerated but my question is in the

51:44

backswing does your upper body ever lean

51:47

outside or over if you draw a circle

51:50

around your shoulder that's a great

51:52

question by the way cuz that's really

51:54

important with how we turn the shoulders

51:55

if you draw a circle around my shoulders

51:57

you're gonna find that my upper body

52:00

will pretty much stay as central as

52:03

possible even though I'm tilting left

52:05

because I'm turning and tilting my

52:08

shoulders will stay in a circle which

52:11

means that because you don't like if you

52:13

go if you find your provider gets out in

52:14

front of your lower body

52:16

you'll start hitting it thin or you

52:18

start introducing a different variable

52:20

into the swing because once I tilt out

52:23

in front I've moved my hula hoop forward

52:26

so we're trying to keep that swing

52:29

circle in the same spot

52:30

you won't find me moving in either

52:33

direction I should be pretty central all

52:39

right cool Steve asked he's been working

52:43

on this for a few weeks he's basically

52:46

saying when I shift my weight to the

52:47

front leg I feel like I'm aimed way

52:49

right of the target but when I when I

52:51

look at my target it's over my left

52:53

shoulder before I shift my weight I feel

52:57

he

52:58

feels that he is on target my brain just

53:00

isn't trusting in it I seen the pool

53:02

shots should it should I change my

53:04

stance to be a little bit open how can i

53:07

address the alignment should the ball

53:10

belt buckle and shirt button be that's

53:13

that's a really good one because so

53:16

we're looking at alignment and how the

53:18

shoulders are turning well if I'm taking

53:22

the club back and I would say I'm going

53:25

in with it you're probably working on

53:26

getting the club more head it's a common

53:29

thing I'll see people do is as they're

53:31

taking the club back they'll shift their

53:32

entire body like this they'll kind of

53:34

level out a little bit which then I

53:36

can't give you a good angle from here

53:37

but what that does is it ends it ends up

53:39

Amy your shoulders more that direction

53:42

you said to the left was the left right

53:47

I think he's yeah I think he feels like

53:50

yeah I think he feels like he's aimed to

53:51

the right okay I'm not trying to

53:53

overconfidence in the sling you feel

53:54

like you came at the right which means

53:56

yeah you're probably losing that

53:58

shoulder down and then when you level

54:01

out it points your shoulder more to the

54:02

right that's just one of those common

54:05

issues but see there best way to get

54:08

that feeling is - yeah exaggerate is

54:11

important what was the second part of

54:13

that was the first part of that question

54:14

with the feel hey yeah so he was saying

54:18

when he shifts his weight to the front

54:20

leg I feel like I'm aimed right but when

54:22

he looks at my when he when I look at my

54:25

target it's over my gosh oh okay yeah

54:27

I'm just trying to visualize it so if if

54:30

we think about shifting weight to our

54:32

front leg it kind of changes a lot of

54:35

how our body works I like to think about

54:37

I think if we shift weight forward that

54:40

will get you pointing right now I'm not

54:42

shifting weight forward what I'm doing

54:45

is I place weight forward first in a set

54:48

up and then as I turn my shoulder down I

54:51

add sway for me I'm not adding more

54:53

weight consciously I think what is

54:56

happening is as you're shifting that

54:57

weight forward and I've seen this among

55:00

a lot of players I can demonstrate the

55:01

hips it's kind of like the hips move

55:03

they when they shift the way forward

55:04

I'll see this in the backswing which

55:07

gets you to point more to the right you

55:10

know

55:11

so you have to be careful with shifting

55:14

in the weight instead just place it and

55:17

then stay there rotate around that that

55:19

hell yeah gosh yeah I think that's

55:22

helpful we have a lot of questions guys

55:26

just so you know we're I'm gonna try to

55:27

get through as many of these cans but

55:29

there's quite a bit on the downswing

55:33

this is from David what initiates the

55:36

downs what initiates the downswing is

55:39

that yes oh right downs what's on the

55:41

backswing we've got a tilt toward the

55:42

target that's that shoulder down on a

55:45

downswing we do the opposite no back the

55:48

other way if you want to know what

55:50

initiates it do a shoulder turn drill

55:52

place the club across your chest get

55:54

into your posture you've seen me do this

55:55

on the channel you know how this works

55:57

but turn your shoulders 90 degrees to

56:00

your spine one way and then turn them

56:02

back the other way while keeping your

56:03

body in that same angle you'll feel the

56:06

downswing get initiated a couple of

56:09

different triggers you got your weight

56:11

forward a trigger that I've used in the

56:13

past is move my weight more forward to

56:16

move it more to the target or you can

56:19

think about pushing off of your left

56:21

foot because it's all that weight there

56:22

or simply just tilting back the other

56:26

way all three will accomplish that

56:31

another David here how far should I be

56:35

swinging my arms back should I try to

56:37

okay so the lead arm is the most

56:39

important of the straight arms in the

56:42

backswing the lead arm is like the

56:45

radius of your circle we need to

56:47

preserve that the trail arm is gonna

56:49

fold so when we take the arm back

56:53

it's gonna go 45 degrees across the

56:55

chest so all you got to do is take your

56:57

lead arm bring it across the chest you

56:59

see how it's nice and connected here

57:01

it's connecting against my side there we

57:03

go okay

57:04

the right arm is gonna fold when I do

57:07

that and that puts me in the proper spot

57:09

so think about how far should it go I

57:13

just think about gluing it to your chest

57:15

and bring it 45 degrees in that'll give

57:18

you a good idea it's gonna be a shorter

57:19

backswing especially if you've been over

57:21

swinging

57:24

Rick I hope that answered your questions

57:27

Rick was saying I know you want both

57:29

arms connected to the chest or the side

57:32

of the chest that is one arm more

57:33

important than the other side was really

57:35

important you've got to glue the right

57:36

arm to your side as if this arm does

57:39

touching in the golf swing it's no good

57:43

we need to peg this arm because if we're

57:46

if we really the backswing is this

57:48

simple I can't believe them it's this

57:50

simple all you do is if you bend forward

57:53

and you connect this connection here and

57:56

this one stays it's not going anywhere

57:57

you bring your arm 45 across the chest

58:00

this arms glued so it's just gonna fold

58:02

for you and look at my shoulders down

58:05

and even think about the shoulders

58:06

that's probably the best and that's

58:08

gonna be a future videos you all got

58:10

heard your first right yeah so bill was

58:17

saying he loves the online lessons but

58:19

he would like written back up do you

58:21

think that the attack is still swing the

58:23

definitive guide to the swing that is

58:25

remaking golf by Andy Plummer and like

58:27

Bennet would be a good idea but there

58:28

you go get the book I recommend

58:33

everybody get this book but you've got

58:34

to be careful because something now

58:37

especially if you're one of those I want

58:40

to go from the next to the next to the

58:41

next step you got to make sure that

58:44

you're working on the right things

58:45

because this book in untrained hands

58:48

could could be very you know there's

58:50

Astra's for your game you got to know

58:52

what you're doing and that's why I think

58:55

supplementing it with what they're

58:56

teaching in like my golf school for

58:58

example is a great way to go through the

59:00

book so you can match up with with the

59:02

content with what I'm doing in the

59:04

visual but I love the book it shows you

59:07

a ton of pictures of the greats and all

59:09

the moves that they do the best players

59:11

doing these moves it just it's really

59:13

great resource for understanding the

59:15

swing mark is asking how would you hit a

59:20

draw or blade okay I wish I had a foot

59:23

cam but what we got to do is understand

59:27

path what the club path is what the

59:30

clubface is so this is the biggest thing

59:34

right here clubface start direction of

59:37

the golf ball first

59:38

if we if we want the ball to do what it

59:41

does on TV or it's got that beautiful

59:42

push to the right and comes back to the

59:44

target the balls got to start to the

59:47

right so we set the clubface open now

59:50

typically that's all you're gonna have

59:51

to do because the weight forward allows

59:54

for you to swing more into out because

59:57

that end out gives you the draw spin and

60:00

so the way forward with an open face

60:02

will give you that start right curve

60:04

back the fade is the opposite we've got

60:07

to start it left to curb right it's my

60:10

weakest shot I'll never hit a fade the

60:11

rest of my life probably working on it

60:13

but if you wanted to you got to point

60:17

the face left and address and you put

60:19

your weight back on your right foot

60:21

which encourages an out to end swing

60:23

path so it curves back the other way I'm

60:27

getting into a series on that in the

60:28

school because it's more easy to see if

60:31

with all the lines and you know the

60:33

visuals on the ground but that's what

60:35

that's what they say in this book that's

60:37

how they teach people how to draw on a

60:39

fade weight back for a fade weight

60:43

forward for a draw gotcha

60:48

all right so Scott is asking he was over

60:53

the top first thing I did to fix things

60:55

and come more from the inside was start

60:57

using a bold left wrist this helped me a

60:59

lot or helped me so much to come more

61:01

from the inside do you I guess he's

61:05

asking do you still see using a boat

61:07

left wrist with these principles that

61:09

you're teaching yeah the wrist moving

61:11

side to side in the golf swing is

61:13

something I'm not a fan of not just

61:14

because the second I move my wrist from

61:16

one side or the other side in the swing

61:18

I changed my contact point so I don't

61:22

think it's necessary but if it's working

61:23

for you stick with it just the way we do

61:27

this swing and making those three

61:30

motions we talked about earlier wait for

61:32

hands and shoulder down there's no need

61:34

for you to bow the wrist to come from

61:35

the inside because you're already put

61:37

the clément from the inside and if you

61:39

just focused on well I got if you saw

61:42

them so yesterday I got this drill where

61:44

you got a swing order stick you know if

61:46

you're over the top just swing under a

61:47

stick placed right about here swing

61:51

under it

61:52

never come over the top again and you

61:53

won't have to think about that wrist in

61:55

fact I recommend that you just take the

61:58

hands back quiet no wrists going either

62:01

way the only thing the wrists will do is

62:03

go up and down in the golf swing gotcha

62:09

Tom if you had to choose this is from

62:11

rich if you had to choose one drill to

62:14

focus on when trying to implement here

62:15

and so there's something a great

62:17

question too because if you're digesting

62:18

all of this on YouTube at one time it's

62:21

tempting to say man this is great let me

62:23

move on the next part this is great let

62:24

me move on the next part it's you want

62:26

to binge watch it and try and get

62:28

everything at once well we got to start

62:30

with the most important part that you

62:32

that you're lacking let's say let's say

62:36

you're turning your shoulders to level

62:37

well we need to start with the shoulder

62:38

down so we need to feel that tilt and I

62:42

would work on that for a couple of weeks

62:44

I wouldn't even try going on the next

62:46

thing until I've got it down I want to

62:48

make and if the golf swings a puzzle so

62:51

you're building pieces here here here

62:52

here once you get the pieces together it

62:55

just then you'll see it so don't think

62:56

too much of our results either at this

62:58

time you're gonna see some great shots

63:01

you also see some really wacky shots but

63:04

you got except that you're making a huge

63:05

change compared to the older traditional

63:07

swing method so you're not used to it

63:13

maril ass is distance adversely

63:17

effective versus a more conventional I

63:19

think you'll you'll find that you can

63:21

create distance in both both swings to

63:25

the convention over and this one you

63:27

could there's many ways to create

63:28

distance million ways of swinging a club

63:30

it's more of a matter of how effortless

63:33

do you want that distance to be this

63:35

swing is the most repeatable and

63:38

effortless one that I've seen out there

63:40

and by effortless I mean it actually

63:42

feels like you're doing nothing and it's

63:44

because of that hands in concept the

63:47

hands entering the hips freely around

63:48

your body so yeah you can create

63:51

distance both ways this one actually has

63:53

more power potential because it's

63:55

limitless I used so if you watch the

63:58

driver video you saw me start at 260

64:00

carry and end up at 300 carry just by

64:03

adding more weight forward throughout

64:05

the

64:06

process so and I wasn't adding any more

64:08

effort till the end when I was trying to

64:10

kill it James said talk about the

64:16

transition I guess maybe maybe one tip

64:18

that that we might be able to - yeah

64:21

sometimes an energy from the backswing

64:23

to downswing so something that would

64:26

help all of you steep golfers in the

64:28

world which is almost all of you I'm

64:30

sorry if I put you on a box but it's so

64:32

true I've taught so many lessons that

64:34

everybody's going this way with the club

64:36

well think about the right arm make it

64:39

to the top your right arms here when you

64:41

go over the top where's your right arm

64:43

go over the top so I'm trying making a

64:47

swing with one hand and you got the

64:49

weighted club go under and that's so

64:52

that's what I at the transition if

64:53

you're struggling with this go the

64:55

opposite and you got to feel opposite

64:57

other than that if we're looking at

64:59

lower body imagine that you want to get

65:03

your hips three inches or so forward

65:06

first and then they'll turn you don't

65:08

think about the term but moving forward

65:10

first and then they turn so that's

65:13

that's two ways to think about the

65:14

transition I know some people like to

65:16

use body some people like to use arms

65:19

that should give you two different ways

65:22

to implement that Mike was asking about

65:26

that you use and I might be able to

65:29

answer this for you because I asked him

65:31

the same thing and I think he said he

65:32

had I got an old baseball net or

65:34

something that he had from like years

65:36

ago it was just an old baseball I think

65:39

we bought the net I care about my dad

65:41

said we set it up in the woods before

65:43

and he's hit baseballs into it yes some

65:46

some industrial hitting net sports that

65:50

Mike Mike I will tell you this I saw a

65:55

video the other day that one of the best

65:59

nets that you can get it has nothing to

66:01

do with golf or baseball is an archery

66:04

net I heard I heard an art because it's

66:08

a little bit heavier so it really

66:09

dampens the impact

66:11

I heard archery that's gotta make a

66:12

chord sound

66:18

oh did I lose you looks like I lost okay

66:23

I think I lost oh I'm sorry I'm sorry

66:32

yeah something happened right I we have

66:33

a second oh did you get a question okay

66:38

yeah why do you think people are

66:40

hesitant about this yeah I think they're

66:42

hesitant and I was in the same boat

66:44

because the media promotes the media was

66:47

promoting so much against it it was

66:49

something very different from what had

66:53

been taught for the past 50 years and

66:55

it's really no different than what the

66:57

best players of all time we're using

66:58

like you look at a Ben Hogan and you see

67:01

almost all the elements if not all of

67:03

them right in there in his swing I think

67:07

people were hesitant because once the

67:09

seat the swing came on the scene they

67:11

were doing they never taught hands and

67:13

her shoulder down the biggest teachers

67:15

never taught hands and shoulder down

67:16

then they always taught a weight shift

67:18

and so a lot of I don't know I guess a

67:20

lot of instructors got intimidated by it

67:22

or the media said this is just wacky

67:24

it's against everything and there was

67:26

this giant movement against it and I was

67:28

one of those people that was against it

67:30

until I had no other choice to it then

67:33

to accept it and the thing about it this

67:35

just works it's a simpler way to swing

67:37

the club I don't know why people get

67:40

against swings because if it's helping

67:43

people on the best golf there should be

67:45

nobody against it cos golf golf is

67:47

struggling right now it needs to be more

67:49

fun right let's see here ed was asking

67:57

that he's been working on a swing

67:59

initiator try to get the club going in

68:04

shoulder down but they've had the best

68:06

success with the right hip going in to

68:08

initiate the sway ya know if you're

68:12

somebody who doesn't turn their hips

68:13

well which I'm guessing you might not

68:15

have much of a hip turn before doing

68:16

this swing you might need to feel that

68:18

and that the initiator of the swing will

68:21

vary from person to person that's why I

68:23

think right now my favorite one is the

68:26

left arm across the chest with this

68:28

connection because it pulls everything

68:29

around but you know

68:32

you might need the initiate with the hip

68:34

it all depends what that looks like you

68:37

might feel your swing start in your

68:38

pinky tail and it works like a charm I

68:41

might feel it starting my right eyeball

68:43

so I know it's such a tough answer

68:46

because I want to answer what is the

68:48

definite start of the golf swing and

68:51

right now I would say left arm

68:54

connection 45 degrees across the chest

68:56

pulling the shoulder down but that's

68:59

it's a tough one it's really a tough one

69:01

to answer

69:05

so Greg was asking how do I think about

69:10

starting the downswing I think we talked

69:12

a little bit about that I think the

69:13

right arm and getting a few inches

69:15

lateral seem to be some of the things

69:18

that the book here I can tell book

69:20

actually says the hold-down swing swing

69:22

will happen if you just push off of that

69:24

weight you've got forward on your left

69:25

leg or your front leg then everything

69:28

reacts it's tempting in the golf swing

69:31

to take control meaning when we get the

69:34

downswing we want to hit the ball best

69:37

tip you can ever get on the golf swing

69:38

is you've got to give up control to get

69:40

control so instead of trying to take

69:42

control of a lot of things

69:43

let's grab you do the rest like we're

69:46

having do the work for you pull the arm

69:47

across chest and then from there let it

69:49

fall

69:49

I mean don't try and control it just let

69:52

the weight take care of it that's a

69:53

great way of initiating it there's so

69:57

many different ways it all depend on

69:59

your swing

70:03

William William asked will you do a

70:05

pitch of the chip video I know you have

70:11

I know you have a short game course as

70:14

well but it looks like he's asking about

70:16

if you're if you have anything come on

70:17

nothing as of right now I've got a ton

70:20

of awesome things on my board right here

70:22

that the golf golf video board I've been

70:25

toying around the idea of doing a pitch

70:27

in chip some specialty type things but

70:30

mostly keeping a lot of those on the

70:32

online golf school because I want to

70:34

explain them in more detail just because

70:37

their systems their systems to play and

70:39

I think if I don't include the whole

70:41

system then it could mislead some people

70:44

so I like the whole swing

70:46

you guys G shoulder down you see the

70:49

hands and you see everything with

70:50

YouTube with full swing and so I'm not

70:52

misleading in the sense that you're

70:54

getting all the pieces David said he's

71:02

developed a reverse see what am i doing

71:06

so reverse see is that position that

71:09

looks like this right your weights

71:12

forward and your back is extended well I

71:16

would say you're not doing anything

71:17

wrong when you start doing this swing

71:24

you're gonna find yourself finishing the

71:27

reverse see has gotten a bad rap and

71:28

everybody says lower back pain it's

71:30

actually your body's reaction if it's

71:32

extending your spines extending out of

71:34

the shot you want to watch a lot of

71:38

players at the end of their swing it's

71:39

you curve in their spine that's the

71:42

extension of their spine if they didn't

71:43

do it they'd end up like this you gotta

71:45

extend with the arm straight not extend

71:49

we see a lot of this but this is

71:51

actually taking stress off the back

71:53

you're doing everything just right dead

71:58

Danny said he bought the short game

72:00

course and he said it's great

72:02

for anyone who's faster than that Jerry

72:06

that Jerry that's awesome Jerry at 77

72:08

years old gained 10 to 12 yards with his

72:11

swing you know it's never too late in it

72:16

it's never too late to start picking up

72:18

this way there's there's never I've got

72:20

too many old habits and I've heard that

72:22

excuse like my swings been stuck in the

72:24

Attic for years and it's never gonna be

72:26

changed well now you can change it in

72:28

one one simple range session yeah

72:32

buzz-buzz ass do you preset your left

72:35

hip a little at address and load your

72:38

left leg and not your right address

72:40

I see it as a full body tilt just a

72:43

little to the target so this is me at

72:45

50/50 everything goes just a little bit

72:48

forward so I'm not moving the hip

72:50

don't preset the hip to move the weight

72:53

forward it's a full body because if you

72:56

preset the hip

72:57

now I've tilted my body too much

73:00

tilt it away from the target now so I

73:03

want to be over the ball the whole way

73:05

so that's that's a great way to preset

73:09

this make sure everything leans low

73:10

forward all right let's see here

73:20

Tom asks how many swings up to the

73:24

course really easy to remember one swing

73:27

thought two is too many

73:29

you couldn't possibly try and coordinate

73:31

all these swing thoughts and try and hit

73:34

a little white ball at a millisecond of

73:35

time is just impossible if you if you go

73:37

out with one swing thought you will have

73:39

a lot more fun and a lot less stress

73:44

David asked some of the old pros lifted

73:47

their left heel how did they keep their

73:49

weight on their yes to this day I've

73:51

tried to get into that position I can't

73:53

physically do it but you look at their

73:56

kneecaps because I try to get this

73:58

position it's really difficult they got

74:00

the the weight they got their kneecap

74:03

like this while keeping their toe I'm

74:06

thinking and what well tilt their hips

74:08

are also tilting at this angle - I mean

74:10

this angle right here so right short

74:13

answer I'm not sure how they got in that

74:15

position but you I'm trying to envision

74:18

how they do it and I don't know maybe it

74:20

was us it was a move they had at that

74:22

time in history I've tried to get in

74:25

that position I could never do it

74:27

it's odd yeah I think I played around

74:33

with it you definitely can but it's just

74:34

not comfortable but it could just bend

74:36

the way people were swinging the club

74:38

and it was just yeah for Sam Snead to

74:40

look so effortless doing that I'm just

74:41

wondering how he looks so comfortable

74:43

lifting that leg off the ground but I

74:46

I'm sure I've tried it it doesn't work

74:49

for my knees but what you're seeing

74:53

you're seeing all the same thank you

74:55

seeing that weight go with us we for the

74:56

lead needs to work like this the way

74:58

it's got to be somewhat forward for that

75:00

for the right hip to be higher than the

75:02

left hip at the top you can't have your

75:04

weight back I mean there's some things

75:06

that happened and you've got to have

75:08

your weight forward for them to happen

75:13

rich was asking is it okay to golf when

75:15

learning this swing I mean I would think

75:18

absolutely rich I would probably

75:20

encourage you to do that yeah I can play

75:22

golf right after I took that first

75:24

lesson just because I wanted to go out

75:26

and play and I just when you go out and

75:29

play don't expect that you're gonna

75:31

shoot even par don't even expect that

75:33

it's gonna be the best round of your

75:34

life just go out and say I'm working on

75:36

something here

75:37

just keep that one swing thought or

75:40

wherever you're working on the range

75:41

whatever it is keep trying to work

75:43

through it because it's eventually going

75:45

to become part of your swing where

75:46

people run into issues is when they try

75:49

and change their swing on the course

75:51

because this is not working now I've got

75:52

to do something else my game is in

75:53

shambles no it's not you just make it a

75:55

change you got to be patient with

75:57

yourself

76:02

Brian says he has a low shot it's a low

76:06

runner in l oréal under time yeah

76:09

I would assume that means that they're

76:11

they're thin shots they're not with a

76:13

divot in front that can we confirm I

76:25

don't know some lows yes yes so there's

76:28

no divot well that would tell me that

76:31

you're probably shifting off the golf

76:32

ball remember our hula hoop if you want

76:35

to have that same point of contact you

76:36

got to keep the weight forward

76:37

throughout the swing so your weights

76:39

probably not staying forward you might

76:41

feel like it is feel like you got more

76:43

weight forward and not not shifting off

76:45

the ball turning the shoulder down will

76:48

help you hit the ball higher because it

76:50

helps you compress it more you have that

76:51

relationship with the ball so weight

76:53

forward shoulder down I know it's the

76:54

same things but really it's that

76:56

important and then should your ball

77:02

position change he said thank you

77:05

should your ball position change since

77:08

your weight is moved forward Scott was

77:10

asking since your weight is more forward

77:12

to the ball photos law positions going

77:14

to remain constant with this with this

77:16

setup with that weight being 55% on your

77:19

front leg or 60% we're setting up to hit

77:22

the ground just forward of Center which

77:25

is

77:26

just a little bit left the shirt buttons

77:28

between your logo and shirt area if you

77:30

were looking down for your stats or if

77:32

you got your stance to club head with

77:35

inside of your left heel assuming your

77:38

feet are outward it's a club head with

77:41

inside your left heel the reason for

77:43

that is when you set the weight forward

77:45

and we're keeping that weight in the

77:46

same spot because we're swinging our in

77:48

a circle we have one point of contact so

77:51

that ball position is going to be right

77:52

there every time I have that one point

77:53

of contact hit the ball the same spot

77:55

every time it's a consistency thing

77:59

terry mentioned tempo he said it looks

78:03

like you're going full speed on your

78:04

downswing yeah I guess it's just in

78:06

general hit anything on the side to do

78:09

it nicely um so yeah tempo is if you're

78:15

a musician you can get onto it pretty

78:17

quickly but I don't like to think of

78:20

tempo as a number I don't I don't I

78:22

never really understood tempo being like

78:24

a seconds thing it's more of an internal

78:26

rhythm for you and just make sure that

78:28

your tempo is not and is constant your

78:32

tempos got to be constant so as I go

78:34

back and through it's the same flow now

78:38

this is where it gets confusing tempo

78:39

versus speed so I can look effortless

78:43

with my tempo and have a heck of a lot

78:44

of speed it's where people think that

78:47

tempo is speed they go robot

78:50

well no take it back and then

78:52

aggressively accelerate on the downswing

78:54

but you're still gonna feel the same

78:55

tempo it might make sense when you're

78:57

making those swings with a weighted Club

78:59

you feel how it naturally accelerates

79:02

while you've got the same tempo that's

79:04

the same idea if that makes sense it's

79:08

kind of like you gotta be careful with

79:10

tempo and swing speed cuz you keep one

79:13

the other don't don't work

79:20

oh it looks like I got lost again hear

79:26

me hello

79:28

check one two check hello check one two

79:41

I'm sorry if I'm freezing here oh it's

79:55

81:27

who seems canted who can't hear me hold

81:32

on looks like it

81:33

I wonder my heaven Tom can you hear me

81:37

yet or no all right Tom can you hear me

81:50

now I can't hear you yet interesting all

81:55

right I think a lot of people to hear me

81:58

I'm not getting a signal through the

82:00

speakers Tom can you hear me now not yet

82:13

now they can hear hair out like this

82:39

yeah I think Tom can you hear I just

82:48

tested it I can try using my speakers

82:53

but I'm not getting a signal

82:55

yeah go ahead and try all speakers work

82:58

now okay yeah yeah is there an echo

83:01

though okay no I think we're all right

83:04

all right well we'll go we'll go head

83:06

phone list here oh thank you for your

83:09

patience um yep nope that's fine I mean

83:13

we have this there's a lot of people in

83:16

here so it's a lot of bandwidth taken up

83:17

on the account I'm sure all right we'll

83:24

just take a couple more questions I want

83:26

to be Minh on almost an hour and a half

83:29

which has been great and we've gotten so

83:31

many questions and what I will do is I'm

83:36

allowed to download all this stuff so

83:39

maybe Tom and I can take these back and

83:41

it would be probably good things for you

83:43

for some of your videos Tom maybe to

83:45

consider yeah in the future sure I cuz

83:49

there were there were over a hundred

83:50

questions also the driver video on

83:54

yesterday was actually a result of all

83:56

your feedback you know so that's how

83:59

that works yeah so David asked how do

84:03

you hit driver David I don't know if you

84:05

had a chance to see his drive his

84:07

driving video that just came out a

84:09

couple days ago but that was really good

84:11

but Tom maybe share like one tip that

84:14

you would give to someone yeah

84:15

driver is basically the same swing

84:18

almost the same set up see the ball half

84:21

of half way above the clubface make sure

84:23

your weights forward make sure you take

84:25

the club around you it's a longer Club

84:27

so you just need to feel like you're

84:28

doing the same things except exaggerate

84:31

them more that's the biggest thing with

84:33

a driver it's making sure you got the

84:35

hands in if you especially if you're a

84:37

lifter making sure that you push off the

84:40

ground in the downswing to launch it

84:42

higher

84:43

like that and don't think about pushing

84:45

off the ground just add a little bit

84:46

more weight forward your setup well

84:49

watch that episode that episode it's got

84:51

it all all in there late in the

84:53

yesterday's episode Eric said I play

84:56

barehanded would it help to use a glove

84:58

well if you're asking me man who owns a

85:01

glove company Eric I'll tell you one

85:04

hundred percent well I would I will say

85:08

this Eric like a Cabrera glove or a high

85:11

quality glove like what like what we

85:14

sound like if you're gonna get a glove

85:16

you'd probably feel the biggest

85:18

difference with that as far as grip is

85:20

concerned because Cabrera is just

85:22

naturally just more tackier than like a

85:24

synthetic love like if you play

85:26

barehanded for a long time and you think

85:28

like oh my grips okay and then you get a

85:31

synthetic glove you might not see much

85:33

of a difference so if I was going to

85:35

tell you to get a glove definitely don't

85:37

get a synthetic glove if you've been

85:38

able to because that you might not feel

85:40

a great difference and I can attest

85:42

using using Shaun's gloves from about

85:44

three or four weeks now I'm a sweaty guy

85:46

I get balls and I'm in it gets hot in

85:48

South Carolina but that glove is holding

85:51

up and it breathes so well that mesh

85:53

side I mean I never felt anything quite

85:56

like that

85:56

you got these you almost feel like I

85:58

feel like a Titleist you know like that

85:59

same really high quality feel on the on

86:03

the grip side then it's got the

86:04

breathing on the top side yeah so I

86:08

don't know if you guys know how well you

86:09

guys can see this but the back of our

86:11

glove is mesh so it breeze really well

86:14

and then obviously we we use a soft top

86:18

grade Cabrera leather I was a Titleist

86:20

perma soft guy for years I just I hated

86:24

paying 24 dollars at the pro shop for a

86:26

golf glove so then I ended up starting

86:28

my own basket business you can't find a

86:30

fixture problem you solve it by making

86:32

your own solution yeah what just kind of

86:36

like this swing in a leg early now

86:40

people are asking for when's the next

86:41

one when is the sequel super awesome and

86:44

informative but how the same vice did it

86:53

why can't you right you're absolutely

86:54

right Danny is asking

86:57

is a slice with the swing result of not

86:59

enough tilt the inside swing gets me

87:02

slicing more than I want so it all

87:04

depends on what your slice definition is

87:07

we've got the slice that starts left and

87:10

curves right we've got the slice that

87:13

starts right and curves more right so

87:15

you got B pull slice and the push slice

87:18

and two very different fixes so could

87:21

you clarify the ball flight you're

87:23

seeing the slice that starts to rise a

87:31

good one

87:31

all right that's the one that I was

87:33

hoping you'd say so the push slice we've

87:36

got the ball starting right so the face

87:39

is pointed right and then the slice

87:42

tells us there's an out to end swing

87:44

path so you might have the club in

87:48

enough I mean you gotta check and see if

87:50

you are on video but then after that

87:53

point down swing is probably steep

87:56

probably chopping a little bit this way

87:58

or you're you're going down on the ball

88:01

and a chop like fashion that way that's

88:03

two biggest causes of the big slice

88:06

going right it's that path when you chop

88:08

the path goes out to end rather severely

88:13

and so I recommend if you watch the

88:16

driver episode yesterday does that

88:18

thrill what the sticks wing under the

88:19

stick

88:20

you won't you won't come over the top or

88:22

you won't be steep dan I think Dan's

88:26

asked this question I want to make sure

88:27

I think he's asked it a couple times

88:28

about what type of grip do you use I've

88:31

got the Tom's too good opener if it's

88:32

really weird I I've got a grip that's

88:35

really strong here's what it looks like

88:43

you guys can kind of see on my videos

88:47

what it looks like but sometimes it

88:52

looks really strong you see this cupping

88:53

in the wrist here that's that's uh

88:55

that's my weakness I'm actually working

88:57

on waking it weakening it to be more

89:00

neutral because I attend to his too big

89:02

of a draw and I found that that grip

89:05

being too strong has contributed too

89:08

much of a curve so you'll be seeing me

89:11

we

89:11

in that in the coming weeks yeah I I

89:14

actually play with a lot not a super

89:17

weak grip I'm pretty neutral but yeah I

89:19

used to have a little bit stronger of a

89:21

grip too and I I was over hooking it and

89:23

like it would hook it off in play you

89:26

can hit some beautiful hooks I mean he

89:29

he followed up with in Urlacher Vardhan

89:32

depends on the size of your hands and

89:34

what you like to feel as long as the

89:36

grip is secure in your hands and it's

89:38

not wobbling in the swing overlap for

89:41

bigger hands the bigger handed people

89:42

like me I guess like seven and a half

89:46

inches from here to here for me so

89:49

that's a good for overlap interlock

89:51

smaller hands generally a roll Dave said

89:57

he's hitting behind the balls that

89:59

because he's still swaying to the right

90:01

very likely you got to think about what

90:03

influences the hula hoop or the swing to

90:06

move this way to contact point to move

90:08

so a couple things you could be turning

90:11

level and then shopping in a downswing

90:14

that's that or you could be shifting off

90:16

the ball so the best way to know for

90:19

sure is that your shoulders are turning

90:20

in a circle turning down so this and the

90:24

weights gotta be forward if you do those

90:26

two things you'll usually hit ball first

90:28

I'd say like 99% of the time David asked

90:36

and one of your videos that I watched

90:39

you said to have the left shoulder low

90:42

on the backswing and the right shoulder

90:45

low in the follow-through however

90:47

plumber said that the right shoulder

90:49

should be low on the follow-through but

90:53

it should be close to level ah yes so

90:57

when we talk about the start of the

90:59

downswing

91:00

that's probably what I'm referring to in

91:02

that video because to initiate the

91:05

downswing I start changing the direction

91:07

you know like moving that right shoulder

91:09

a little lower and then you get somewhat

91:11

more level of impact it's just a normal

91:14

reaction of getting in between you know

91:16

left shoulder down and right shoulder

91:17

going and also problem yeah then yes the

91:21

extending - but what you find is when

91:24

you exit

91:25

impact that you've got that tilt back

91:28

that you got that same amount of

91:30

shoulder tilt

91:31

I'm trying to do it my chair the same

91:34

amount of tilt back the other way

91:39

chant said he watched a video last night

91:44

I'm also having trouble hooking the ball

91:46

with my drivers well what's the biggest

91:48

cause of that chance I don't know if you

91:50

had an opportunity to watch the whole

91:52

video but he actually gives you an idea

91:56

there to fix that but I don't know if

91:58

you want to comment real quick on yeah I

91:59

think it happens about I think somewhere

92:03

it could be ten minutes into the video

92:05

that we start getting into the fixes

92:07

between 10 or 15 minutes somewhere there

92:09

you're gonna put an alignment stick 45

92:11

degrees in the ground in front of your

92:13

body target side you're gonna swing

92:15

under that stick you'll see it in the

92:17

video though it's a lot easier to

92:19

describe the reason you're hooking is

92:21

you're swinging too much into out and

92:23

that's putting the same amount of draw

92:25

spin on the ball so we need to curb that

92:28

into out by swinging more around our

92:30

body swinging if you're right-handed

92:32

you're swinging left your finishing

92:34

lower and around to get rid of that end

92:37

out path and then Leon asked what the

92:42

chance gave you a thumbs up there he

92:45

said what's what's the initiator of the

92:48

downswing hips are pushing off the feet

92:50

yes but well so you can use either

92:54

there's a 1-1 initiator I got a video of

92:57

where I roll the right foot in that's

93:00

because there was a player a gentleman a

93:03

senior player who I was working on he

93:05

couldn't get his hips left he couldn't

93:07

get he couldn't do that feeling so I

93:09

said Roy your right foot in and then

93:10

everything worked so initiator I like

93:13

pushing off of the left leg that seems

93:15

to get everything if I demonstrate that

93:17

this is what pushing off the left leg

93:19

looks like that's been pushing putting

93:23

pushing off of the weight that's forward

93:25

so it automatically moves you can see

93:28

the hips move left when I push off of

93:30

the leg I like that really because

93:32

everything else reacts from that Lee

93:38

I just saw glee here a second ago okay

93:46

there it is a lot of my shots beer left

93:48

am i over rotating my upper body up

93:51

finish how do I stop this veering left

93:53

as in curbing left they start straight

93:56

curve left yeah well yeah it just says a

94:01

lot of my shots veer left let me see if

94:04

she no they go left like they just start

94:07

left and like okay this whole shots

94:13

biggest cause I see of consistent polls

94:16

is the downswing you're doing a lot of

94:19

up and down in your swing you're not

94:20

doing enough around and around up and

94:23

down being lifting and chopping because

94:25

whenever we go up and down that's when

94:27

the hands get the most active that's

94:29

what I've seen and I've been there and

94:31

it's no fun so if you're pulling a lot

94:33

of shots you you're probably lifting or

94:36

chopping somewhere the swing if you go

94:40

around this way and then you turn your

94:42

body back around the other way the hands

94:43

have no chance to rotate like really

94:45

this golf swing square turn back the

94:49

other way that's how easy it is I'm

94:51

gonna chair but you know right the phone

94:54

face isn't rotating when I do this

94:56

that's really the golf swing and that's

94:57

how consistent it can be alright guys

95:02

I'm gonna stop there because I want to

95:03

be respectful to Tom's time and everyone

95:06

else who who's been hopping on but I'm

95:09

gonna send some of these questions over

95:10

to Tom and I'm gonna have a replay up of

95:13

all of this for everybody I'll probably

95:14

send that out tomorrow tonight I'll

95:17

probably send everyone all the videos

95:19

and I even actually took some time to

95:22

make sure that the videos start at the

95:24

right place and I will tell you where

95:26

the videos end but before we go I'm also

the same old stuff that you know like

97:45

the shift in the lift and you saying I

97:47

was that guy how was that person go up

97:50

to them and say hey do you need do you

97:52

need any help I mean there doesn't have

98:02

and to like 259 for everyone

98:05

right David David just asked here real

98:08

quick one last question how can he stay

98:10

on his on his left side because he's

98:12

still heading off his right foot what's

98:14

one drill he had yeah that he can

98:16

utilize yeah one drill you can utilize

98:18

place about 70 to 80 percent of your

98:21

weight on your front leg then you you

98:25

will pre straighten your trail leg kind

98:28

of like your pre setting your hip turn

98:30

and then you swing your arms so you can

98:32

feel like there's weights not going

98:33
