Full Lesson With PGA Tour Coach // Dan Carraher & Andrew Jensen

what's going on guys welcome back to the channel my name is Andrew it's a pleasure to see you as always today's video is a first a first for the channel which is pretty special to think about nearly two years of uploading today is the first I just finished a lesson with my coach Dan and I had the camera just run you can listen to everything that we're saying you can watch what we're working on I've taken about 20 minutes of the lesson for this video so if you want to get an inside scoop into what we do when we work together together this video is for you Dan's an awesome coach and I've been fortunate enough to work with him for almost 2 years now and he's a good friend as well so I really hope you guys enjoy this give this video a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't cuz it really does make a difference and let me know down below if you want to see more videos like this enjoy but miss been a little more dry um before like before Christmas like before I went up there yeah my Miss has been dry but then earlier this week I noticed like I just been keeping the face open like that's what's been happening so it's a well that's how you so like what I would say is for your like I wouldn't say it's bad I would say it doesn't match the shot you're kind of wanting to hit as your stop shot it's like what I would say is your path is probably like 4° into out 5° into out so like if you wanted to hit 6 7 yard push draws it'd be perfect yeah um so I'm I'm getting quite from the inside now so what you're doing then is that at first you start overdrawing it then you just start having the face more open to make it push and then it kind of then you have to aim left on kind of blocking it all onine like the real answer would be is we need to get so back swing is good that left shoulder and left side's not opening up quite fast enough yeah and so we tilt a little bit more so I'd like to see the shoulder level there there's probably 5 to 10° int CL parallel to the ground and so like swing doesn't look bad from face on yeah but that little bit of extra kind of coming out of that left side Bend and tilting a little too early like this is good but when you start kicking that tilt early yeah get under is that yeah and it just basically looks like a really good trying to hit a seven yard draw yeah and the problem and you're going to see don't see much of your left leg and your like left side's not opening up and so like it's not flipping like it's what most guys that would love to that are playing kind of push draws and on the draw side of the spectrum would like but then you start doing funny things to make the ball go at the Target because that's not the shot you're trying to hit so it's not necessarily that it's like inherently bad it's just that it doesn't match what you're trying to do so that's where things get funny and you start coming up with ways to kind of make it work which are going to be less consistent than if it just works so watch go up to the top good so this left side opening up left shoulder left leg is going to pull kind of carry the arms a little more out and in front then everything can fire as hard as it want yeah but if you start getting this L side working up a little too much too soon arms are going to stay club's going to get there and then you're already done cuz body starts decelerating long before you get to impact you can't add rotation late no cuz you're already slowing down and so the pass just going to go slightly kind of up and out to the right and I think it started as your way to it's a that's the easiest way to like shallow out yeah and so like to like especially when you're hitting a lot of wedges trying to shallow out and trying to do like it's very easy to start tilting to to much too soon as a way to kind of make that happen make the club feel like it's it Mak can cause issues with the longer stuff kind of creating some bad [Music] habits whereas if the club is laying down enough your arms can be very out and in front and you can get that left side very open without it being very steep so it's just just it's the thought we had before of like leveling the left shoulder but still openingly and then opening up yep and letting it letting your pivot kind of pull your arms out and in front good and like so the practice swings will look slightly and feel kind of a little bit over it yeah I guess what kind of throws me off is cuz when I'm practicing at the club my divots still go left yes but the divots after you make contact yeah so you can have a divot that is left even though the path is out to the right and that's why like they can be some DS can be somewhat indicative especially if you kind of understand your pattern and it's the same thing every single time but it's not indicative of what the actual path is at contact because if you're doing it right with the amount of shating you have that divot going to be low points going to be 4 to 6 in in front of the golf ball so for you like what that divot pointing at low point is not going to be where the club's moving when it makes contact with the golf [Music] ball yeah I guess cuz like in the last you know month and a half to two months not really having much to play in just play tournament a month it's been I've been like my alignment got screwy so that cuz I started aiming way right and basically hitting poles back to the Target so maybe that's why like I was overc correct to try and get it it's normal watch so as you come in now my club Trail over the ground shoulders are Level yeah so I kind of want the what you're going to notice is the Tendencies is the should ERS and the club tend to match each other so what happens is if you start tilting too soon the club's going to get dumped under and kind of get below your hands at that point whereas as the left side stays down and works around a little bit more Club head stays a little bit higher and the face closes just a little bit slower so it keeps the face more open to the path and gets the path more left which obviously if we're trying to cut it that's kind of yeah what we want and what it's going to do and the goal is like rather than you like the Miss before was going to be where you were just holding the face open is like a push cut cuz you're trying to make basically a draw swing cut so your path is four to 5° yeah and then you have a face that's open to that like it's going to start right go right is as this left side kind of opens up you're going to be able to start cuts that start all line or even a touch left of where you're aimed and then fall back to the right and it's definitely going to help fighting it down a little bit more um kind of covering it one of the things I've been doing in the last 3 weeks is in the gym just working more on my lower body cuz that's the thing I look fine like try and open up if I wasn't strong enough here my hips were tight y it's just easy to do that it's cold it's easy to not rotate like it's the that's why it's a good player problem and why so many good players come out of that left tilt too early and start tilting back cuz it's the easy Band-Aid way to shallow out without having to do a lot of other things and the problem is it just gets too big and it becomes like big draws but it's why is such a big problem as in general for most good players when I played played Jack Beach and played n ball the morning after Christmas and I was hitting draw like what's going on I played Windor Park 2 days before Christmas you played 9 in the morning and it's draws it's cold I'm like why am I hitting draws like so like if you're not moving as well it's just the easy yeah and so to me a lot of it is the understanding then in that situation kind of what you need to feel in the direction you head to come of get those way more online like I said is the biggest key is going to be you won't hit it left but the reason why you're going to overcut these in the beginning is that you don't want to hit it left yeah so like as the path moves more you can start the ball more left without it overdraw and but like in your head you're more afraid of left than right so at first these are going to overcut because your brain's basically going don't hit it left and you won't but then you hit it overdone to the right and the moment you stop Fe you hit enough overcuts your brain's going to go I know this isn't going left anymore so then it doesn't matter like you're if the Miss is an overcut and you can trust that is not going to go left then you can just start lines become more and more left without fear so like you'll stop missing right when you you stop fearing left yeah like the the fear of hitting too big of a draw is going to cause you to hit too big of a cut initially but they're not going to be push Cuts so they should still kind of start online they're just going to curve more than you'd like and is this remember when we were working like a year ago on where the club Dr yep and that's going to help that see arms are more out in front clubs coming down kind of right on the forearm yeah right on your hands like I would say that path is probably close to zero to maybe one de left like it's not extremely left what I but it's going to feel left and you're going to see that club exits kind of right through your rib cage yeah where instead of it was getting a little more up left shoulder kind of like I said is that that's really good if you're trying to hit kind of high shallow draws not very good if you're trying to hit but like that cuts halfway through exactly and you're going to see what that actually started left and cut like those really help you start it left and cut it and over time you're going to trust that you can start it more and more left and that ball is not going to go left yeah cuz that and it was mainly just with irons driver and woods was fine but it was yeah it was surprising when I would hit these draws with irons just in like fun rounds but like that's not actually out like that's going to feel very out that's maybe like 3° left but that's way more stable through the ball face closing way slower like that's exactly kind of what we want and that's done with a relatively simple like it's not a place you've never been it's just getting it back there without like keeping the better backp keeping some of the good stuff while also getting left side working how it did probably 6 months ago cuz I think like that's kind of what I'm honing in on right now is just refocusing myself on like that deliberate practice this where I'm doing these unenjoyable drills almost that are hard to do but need to do them a lot well and the way things are generally going to go is you're going to have a couple things that you're constantly going to have to work on yeah well that's why like doing the really slow swings just every day helps one like it's kind of like tightening a bolt yeah is you have to hold both ends You Can't Screw just one side it just spins in place so if we actually want to tighten it up you're going to have to work both ends so like there's going to be times where you're working on the back swing and then the transition gets and through the ball might get a little sloppy cuz you're Focus was elsewhere so then you have to go back and kind of also tighten up that other side it's going to be a lot of kind of like okay this week I'm focusing on this a little bit it's going to be prioritized izing what is the most important thing kind of at a given time you'll see the little ones you're way more confident in starting left and cutting it then as you start picking up speed yeah your trust level diminishes yeah isn't nearly as high so watch let's go back to doing after that one I see one in between that so like the ones that were really good pull Cuts probably were going 130 yards 120 yards like the the short ones yeah like those are and so and what's what color is that eight IR so like 165 so like let's go in between those two and try to hit one 145 but with the shape yeah like I me like a ladder like so you're really good at the like 70% yeah and then it's bridging that to the full swing it's funny cuz that felt like it was going to go left even with the face like it felt like oh that was a draw and that's where like you have to like when you go full speed if you feel that you're going to bail on it and that's where you're going to hit the push cut because but in reality it doesn't go left you just have to build the confidence that you know but that's not going left at all cuz I remember watching something with like back when Justin and sea were like on a lot of TV like his they worked on three4 shots like all the time yeah like I said your ability to trust that length shot is higher and Trust comes with reps like it's not going to happen automatically so like you can do it relatively quickly but trusting it takes time so to me I'd start with the 120 yard ones and then kind of ladder it up till you get to full speed and if you hit two or three offline in a row I throttle it back down to slow and your goal is to kind of work your way all the way up to full speed and kind of stay there and not bounce back to having to go slow but it might take a week before you can take extended periods of time and full swings full speed and stay there for an extended period of time without having to kind of throttle back to half speed kind of 120 yard shots well I find it really makes me pay attention to the sequency too yeah like it has to be this as opposed to what sometimes happens like I said is your aw what it really comes down to is at slower speeds your awareness is higher and that awareness builds trust in what you're doing one y it's a lot easier yeah and what's going to happen is then after you hit three or four full ones though you see the the fourth fifth six full one is going to start to slip a little bit and then you're going to have to go back so in the beginning you might be able to make five full swing shots before you start kind of not having it really dialed in and then the beauty of it is going to be that then every day that's going to go from five swings to eight swings to 20 SW So eventually you could maybe make 30 40 minutes where you could stay Full Speed without hitting a battle but it kind of doesn't make sense to keep hitting bad like if two out of five are misses like we'd rather slow down to where the quality goes up to where but you still want to push that limit to where you try to find what is close to like the fastest you can go while getting five out of five cuz you don't want to stay at the 120 yard ones forever if you could do 140 just as well yeah so it's like the combination and finding the balance between pushing the limits well actually still having really high quality and more importantly you can actually feel what's going on and that's where the camera live view or your phone helps as because not only are you feeling what's going on by going slower in your awareness you're tying that into kind of a visual with what you're seeing and if you what you're seeing is what you're feeling and it's producing good shots that's when you can rock up and be the most confident kind of coming into any event that's a good one yeah cuz that even right away I feel it it's more toe centered yep than it is heel centered yep [Music] and when you're trying to hit slight cuts the slight Miss off the toe is never kind of a bad thing [Music]
