So hi everybody Craig Hanson here guys welcome to my video and we're looking at the breakdown
the demise of Jordan Spieth the ex number one player three major championships and what is he
now out into the 80s and somewhere in the world rankings and well it's a real shame apparently
he's just gone to see Butch Harmon to get a second opinion and he has to do something because really
to watch this outstanding individual hit the golf ball really just all over the place is
is a real shame and it's for me it's hard to watch he's one of my favorite players
this guy's demeanor he's got that true instinct of a champion one of the best putters of all time
one of the great short games out there and and and just really the high irons you know he's eight
remarkable but you know he can't even hold his balance and he's set up so bad and uh it's it's
staggering that they you know what he's actually worked on i mean this guy doesn't really you know
need to hit it all that well uh to to win championships this is how good this guy is
you know this guy should be you know in the top few in the world and uh and have maybe you know
five majors by now even a couple extra right but let's have a look and you know when you have a
look yourself you know without any lines or anything you just have a look at the setup
change isn't it on the left was when he was dominating on the right uh late last year and
yeah hitting it sideways so what's what's going on there i mean you can see some of the differences
can't you in the setup you know and i've looked at a number of swings now it's not just one that
i've picked out on the left there but when you have a look here at really how far that these
the knees are now you know how far that they're bent you know you're seeing you're seeing a
different positioning there you're seeing a different position uh from a line down from
the you know the behind and into the ground you can see the amount of room here from the back and
into the heels it really is a different position all around shaft plane or the shaft angles up
around 47 degrees and we're further away knees are bent a mile we're down into the 41 area
and i mean that's that's a huge change and no matter how good you are if you're playing
great golf for a number of weeks if you get in there and film your swings and you save it on
your phone if you're hitting your driver great do it because how long does it take before you
don't hit it well one of the things that's funny is when we're hitting it well we think we've got
it worked out you know and you're never going to hit it bad again and when you're hitting it bad
you think you're never going to hit it good again so making sure that you know you film your swings
your mobile phones and keeping it there and have a look at your setup even just by the ball slipping
out an inch or so it's enough for a bit of a form slump guys make sure you subscribe hit the
subscribe and hit the bell button plenty of videos coming your way if you like the video like your
video we'd be really interested to hear your comments uh about this video underneath always
very interesting especially from the keyboard warriors out there now let's have a look at the
swing obviously knees more bent when we get up to the top of the swing we're going to say see a
in the change of planes here that could be just from the setup but we're going to see this plane
pointed a little bit more out and this one point a little bit more down but one of the big changes
when we get to the top of the swing obviously because of the knees were so bent is that we're
going to be seeing sloppy leg work at the top have a look at that 61 degrees on the leg here
and this one coming right down much further into 75 to 61 somewhere out into this direction so
obviously what you know when you've got leg work like that it's going to have to charge back
and it's going to make a bit of a mess of things here now when you get down and into the impact
position here have a look at this left foot watch this now you'll see this left the toes just being
ripped off the ground here and when we have a look at the other side we see that as we hit this one
we see a much cleaner footwork and we see the toes and the ball of the foot being connected
to the ground now this is important all right this is important if you get on if you get on
track man and you're fiddling around with things all right and yet and you really lift up your toes
a lot and you hammer the way into the back of this heel it's going to affect your club face that's
number one so you can hit it sometimes it'll close the face a lot it'll steepen the plane a little
bit but it also brings up a higher right hip so you get caught so you can hit it way left
we have that sort of half court feeling right and then you can blow it way out to the right
and that's what he's doing so he's hitting it left and hitting it right so he's got like a two-way
miss and yeah he said he just said recently he doesn't know why it's just only last last year
the u.s overseas i don't know what i'm doing now have a look at the hip plane how level it is
there as we have a look at the hip plane on this side here so we're seeing you know different hip
planes different footwork different setups different distances from the ball and you know
it's a bit of an unusual swing anyway you know this action and you really you know through the
golf ball you're going to see slightly different shoulder planes just because of the setup so the
things are going to be a little bit more so a little bit more level about a 10 degrees difference
there but i mean it really should be picked up on and especially people here when we're looking at
these iron shots from the years gone by when he was just just hitting these high irons just
constantly at the flags and down the line world-class golf instruction has over 700
detailed videos for every golfer practice programs and evidence-based material is applied to helping
you to become your own coach and play your best golf join us in the chat room and join the community
of world-class golf instruction now we'll just have a look here at these two different types
of swings now when we get to the top of the swing there's a couple of camera angles there for you
camera angle experts there you know i understand i've filmed about 30,000 swings i know about the
angles this one is a little bit more on the right here and the camera being over the ball line but
we're not going to get right into path here we're just looking at the major moves that just really
stand out so much now when we have a look here at this left arm at the top you can see how high this
is now i wonder why he's been working on that that's up at 61 degrees this one here much lower
down into around 50 and we'll see the elbow very much closer to the original shaft plane now on
world-class golf instruction we have a style of swing it's called deep to shallow now i have to
mention this because the feedback has been absolutely remarkable where we look at shoulder
plane and the lead arm position and some of the characteristics that match up to that and
regardless if your speed's always had fast legs you know so if you're going to be swinging back
high and long you've got fast legs you know you're going to it's going to have an effect on your
timing and your sequence when we see this which is just you know this shot to hit this shot 30
yards left and hooking look at that left foot in the air i mean now you're really outside averages
of movement aren't you and look at the toes connected to the ground and that people i'm
sorry to say i have to question what he's been shown you know that is not great work if you're
swinging like that it looks like some sort of alien doesn't it i mean what's this he can't even
hold his balance he's hitting it absolutely so i'm going to help him here i'm sure and i really
hope this guy gets you know back on track when we're seeing some of these you know finished
positions and setups and his spine angle just way over now no one stands at 74 degrees and through
the ball we're seeing it just all disconnected and and just back and he can't even it doesn't
look like jordan jordan speed there it looks like john smith john or john speed i should say
but yeah it's you know all jokes aside it really is a shame but i mean he's done well for himself
you know and he's got a good name and he's a very very talented individual and uh i think we're
going to see him you know come back in the future and rather when we sort of see you know this this
finished person i'll just drop that back here and we'll have a look at uh this difference in the in
the end position here where you could see him back in there he always finished with a bit of a funky
left foot but that that driver back then different address position not hanging back as much and
able to really sort of get up and through the ball and and and just hit half solid drive he's one of
those players that even if he's hitting it you know into the semi rough he's going to still dominate
