Poor Strikes DISAPPEARED In Minutes With These TIPS

Just make this part a little slower, think about the club going towards the Trackman box, so out there, and then change the direction with the wrist kind of revving as much as you can that way. At takeaway, inside, by four. At delivery, steep, by three. Release, at half down, early, by seven. Shaft lean, at impact, by three. So, when we look at your swing on the app, this is the face-on, that's just highlighting the club release, which is what I selected at the start, so we'll see at impact, we talked about compression. If we look at it at impact, you'll see here that your shaft is back from where it should be at impact. Ultimately, that's why you don't get the compression you want. Now, why that happens is the bigger thing we're looking at today. And for me, when we look at your swing plane, swing plane for me causes these issues. So when we look at your swing plane from a hole, the club goes back inside and then starts down steeply in the change direction, the transition area. And then at impact, then the hands kind of scoop to try and square the club face up. If we look at the data from this, what we'll see here is your spine's forward by five and forward by eight in the downswing which means when we swing down you're too much that way okay and at the same time the lag then gets lost early by seven so ideally that's the relationship we're looking to change and we'll see here your hips are slightly back as you swing down okay particularly yeah okay we can see on the video as well yeah so when you don't get that lateral movement it's hard to get that compression so the swing plane is the reason it happens whenever people come over the top hips will tend to go back to create room for the arms, but also to try and square that club up. Okay. And shallow that club more at the bottom this way. Yeah. So it's like a shallowing mechanism. Again, I think we want you to shallow it the right way. Yeah, so it's all sort of counteracting for the issue. So if I put on this, you see in the release set, if I put on this a spine tilt, you'll see here when we look at the key positions. So at the top of the swing, you're pretty much in the right place. As you swing down, you see how much, how forward you are. Yeah. Particularly when you get to that position there. So that's where your spine should be, in that blue triangle. So ideally the hips want to be close to where they are, but the spine needs to be further back and obviously we need a bit more lag at the same time. Yeah. Okay. When we look at the other angle, this we ask to look at swing plane. The yellow dots are your backswing plane. That's the blue zone where you should be. The white dots are your downswing plane and that's where the blue zones where you should be on the way down. So inside by four on the way back, steep by three on the way down. But when we look at the critical points in between, obviously you're more steep. The swing plane is, on the way back, is shallow by five and on the way down steep by five. complete kind of polar opposites yeah um and then you really extend your hips at contact to try and get shallow up plane so very typical of what we see with a lot of golfers yeah the club traveling inside raising up to a good position starting down steeply and then the body kind of early extending and hanging back to shallow it and then the wrist working hard to square the clubface up a bit yeah which will give you more your pull shots yeah but they'll be less compressed and then the ones you hit which are very low or obviously you're not getting that shaft forward and the club's travelling up a little bit too much at contact yeah okay okay so the plan is going to be very very simply we're going to try and get your if we can your swing plane a bit more organized yeah and at the same time then try and get you to shift a bit more down and bounce through the ball okay so the idea will be we'll try and work a little bit on the compression but at the same time work on the reason why that compression is yes yeah okay we need to address it the over and under nature of what we're going to do with these swings the big thing and then trying to get that shift a bit more organized yeah because i think if if i get you moving your weight better without changing your plane you'll end up coming over the top more yeah you'll compress it more but hit shots left and big slices drive will be really hard work yeah so it's kind of you might get some instant results yeah long term go on instant results for long term yeah so if you can take yourself again roughly the same shape as you just were we're just going to use two very simple visuals initially okay yeah okay so the idea is to try and take the takeaway back now outside that white line if you can and bring it down that yellow line if you can just visually okay good it'll feel like a big loop for you so again try and feel white line yellow line and give it a hit for me on plane half down steep by two at delivery steep by two so the down swing was similar yeah you were steep by more than that halfway down but same impact but the back swing was actually on plane yeah so the good news is because you took it back straighter you didn't revert then to come over the top more so again take the club back for me so we're going to go back white line on top of the swing and then the shallow end is going to feel like a change of direction this way Also long term what I want to feel is this left wrist flexes a bit more there. Yeah. That'll help get that club in that position. So the feeling is going to be very much that you're swinging towards that camera. Okay. Okay. Half down, shallow, by two. That's delivery, shallow, by two. Very good. And that one you actually hit from four degrees from the inside. Yeah. It's a very, very different data. Okay. So the idea now with this rod is you have to go over the rod. Yeah. Under the rod. Yeah. Just go gently. So go about 50% of your pace initially. club at takeaway outside by four at half back steep by five at half down shallow by five but totally the opposite of what we had earlier yeah slightly too steep on the way back slightly too shallow on the way down so this is really making you change the nature in which you move the club very good so that when you hit four degrees down but your path is actually 0.3 of a degree from the inside you hit more down but more from the inside so that's ultimately what we're looking to do very good obviously it's not full speed okay so for me the big thing in transition is how your wrists are working so what we tried to do is change the nature of what the club's doing to hopefully help the wrists work better but ultimately because we want compression as well at contact and that's probably the big goal when you walked in we need to get this wrist more into flexion at contact which is more bowed that gives you a bit more shaft lean and delofts the club which gives you compression in two or three different ways so what i want to do basically is for you to feel when you change direction we really feel like this wrist revs works more towards this back wall, it comes down like that. Now, in order for you to feel this, we're gonna do a practice swing with a funky grip. The idea is you put your lead hand on the club and you get your trail hand and you put it underneath so it wraps around your knuckles like that. As you get to the top of your backswing, you use your trail hand, pull your lead hand into that flexed position, and again, try and take it back nice and straight so it's not, again, we're still working on that backswing, playing that kind of figure eight type swing, and then we pull this wrist into the position all the way down to impact, and you see there, impact how I've got that club now with huge shaft lean huge amount of flexion I'm really delofting that club yeah the idea would be you know practice swing and then maybe normal grip and then when you go to normal grip feel like you do the same movement just using the memory how it how it works yeah um so you can repeat that for about five or six times for me so it's kind of practice swing then go to the golf ball it's nice and gentle start to feel like the compression even with a shorter smaller slower swing yeah okay have a go with that for me in terms of that and it's just wrapping this hand on top yeah i'll guide you through it now but yeah go to the top and use your trail hand perfect and then keep going keep pulling it keep pulling it keep pulling it keep pulling it all the way to there so at this point here we want a tailor-made facing kind of horizontal yeah or even down to the ground okay okay let's try it with the ball and again with a normal grip initially you can hit golf balls doing that funky grip i do that quite often for my swing yeah it's hard and it feels uncomfortable yeah but but again it's again taking it to the extreme so it can be a case we do a few shots like that but just try and feel it first of all so again try and still feel over and under you probably overdid it a little bit then so two degrees from the inside so fabulous in what we were at the start and you see that that wrist how it worked then transition sort of as it come down and bow yeah almost a bit too much yeah which is great for practice as long as when we go to a more natural swinging and we're looking for these practice drills to evolve into normal swing that's the idea nothing else okay let's do the same thing again for four or five shots what we're What we're doing now is a different way of trying to get you to shallow that club, so we're trying to get you to hit that tee peg on the ground, okay? The idea basically is you're still trying to do it with that wrist in the same backswing direction but you're trying to hit that tee. Very good. Okay, let's try a ball. So I want you to try and have the same feels but with a golf ball. Yep. Good. What did that feel like? It felt different. Felt good, different. Okay. Again, two degrees from the inside. Yeah, different play. Backswing can be a little higher. Yep. And that would get it more like zero path in and help you with compression, because again, you can compress that as much. So again, same thing, do one practice swing where you try and hit the tee, and one golf ball. Just do that for three golf balls for me. Club, at half down, shallow, by two, otherwise, good swing. Very good. Club, at half down, shallow, by one, otherwise, good swing. So if we were going to take this to the golf course, how we would simplify this would be kind of like an over-under exaggerated practice swing. Then when you go into the golf ball, you'd probably just think kind of, okay, over-under, as your only thoughts. Okay? Let's just try that for four shots for me. Just bump those hips at address as well let me say, over under, make the practice swing a bit more exaggerated, particularly the downswing, think about the tee peg, so we'd have a piece of grass on the on the course if we're doing that, good, you almost want visually the balls to start right and draw back in practice on the golf course, whatever ball flight you want. Okay Shane, so what we saw from from kind of the app and from the videos at the start was basically the swing direction or swing arcs when playing whichever words you want to use, for me changed too much, Back swing went two in, you came down two over, that then meant your body had to stall and back up after going two forward initially in the downswing which then lost you the compression. For me if we just fixed the compression we'd end up with a big slice and lots of big deep divots and lots of left shots so I didn't want to do just the compression. What I want to do is change your swing direction, take the club back straighter and then change the transition and then try and get your wrist working better in the transition to help with the compression. what we've managed to do in in the short period of time is change your swing direction your swing path now or your club path now through the golf ball is now zeroed out whereas at the start there's four degrees cut across the ball uh the plane is lowered slightly in terms of the arc plane at contact which then will start to facilitate you then wanting to rotate onto the golf ball which then will give you more compression through the shaft but also the wrist getting into that more flex state will give you more compression so the funky grip drill is something I want you to do for 20 balls out of say 60. I want you to do the swing plane with the two rods on the ground or the over and under rod whichever one over and under rod probably give us more bang for the buck but obviously it's harder for 20 balls at the 60 and then 20 balls with the 60 to be warming up and hitting normal shots where you try and transfer that to the golf course and if the golf course I particularly like to practice when we try and hit the ground or grass back by your trail foot because then we won't have a rod there and try almost hit that tee or that ground in the direction that's 90 degrees to you and then go hit the golf ball after that. Now ideally once you've done that for a couple of weeks then we want to try and focus more on the compression which then we've got to look at body shape if that's starting to change on the way down so are we starting to get this movement, the spine so forward, are we starting to get the hips more ahead of the spine and then the hands more forward, that'll give us the compression. Okay, any questions? Anything you want to ask? No I think for me it's sort of good to see that the drills were taken to bring it from the outside to back inside the and understand where my swing was before to after it's clearly obviously changed so it's better obviously notice that the ball flight is better and the dispersion is better so yeah i've got no the only thing you might get is the odd little as i said thin and fat shot because again you're shallower now and if you're still shallow at impact the way you were you have what I call a double shallow but if you look at how we use the app the app was talking to us through that so it actually gives you that feedback what you're hitting golf balls so the app is something i recommend everyone uses for that reason because if i'm not with you how do you know if you're you're doing it right or not that's something you've probably felt quite funky the app told you your takeaway was straighter and told you your downswing was shallower without you having to look at a video or anything you just have earphones in or let it talk to you at the back of the range and it tells you those things without you moving yeah that's why i love the app i think from the app as well like you say it's good that telling me that how far you are how far you're in when it's a good shot it tells you it's a good shot it tells you there's no no um angles to work with or anything like it's brilliant i think it's great it gives you numbers up to 10 and it kind of goes like green zones yellow zones and red zones red zones are what they see is okay yellows are just slightly out but again if you were steep by five and you go from steep by five to steep by three you know that's improving it's a bit like anything if you're losing weight or getting stronger or running further you've got that progress bar you can see and that for me is vital and when you play well even knowing what your numbers are when you play well and then going back to it when you're not playing well what's changed and what you can influence to make you better so calibrate yourself almost when you're good and when you're not so good yeah so thanks very much for coming appreciate you coming hope you enjoyed it yes and if you are new to the channel please like subscribe and follow
