1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: It's the Son of a Butcher podcast. I'm your host 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Claude harmon solo episode of the pod this week. I 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: think it's an interesting time of year. I think there 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,159 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that are golfers that are 5 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: going into the winter months. They're going to be maybe 6 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: going inside, maybe hitting a lot of balls off of mats, 7 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: and then there are a lot of people that are 8 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: maybe going somewhere to where they're going to be playing 9 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: a lot of golf. You know, I live in Florida, 10 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: so a lot of people from the East Coast come 11 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: down to Florida. So our season down here in Florida 12 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: is just kind of ramping up. But I know a 13 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: lot of people and a lot of places are going 14 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: to be kind of stuck with regards to weather, and 15 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a really good time. I've talked about 16 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: this before on the pod, but I think the off 17 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: season for a lot of players is important. I do 18 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,959 Speaker 1: think that if you are in a climate to where 19 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: you can't play golf year round, I think you've got 20 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: to use that time when you can't be playing golf 21 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: on the golf course all the time. You've got to 22 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: use think of it like an off season. You know, 23 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: other than really the PGA Tour, most people get time off. 24 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: Most other sports get an off season. So if you 25 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: are in a climate to where you're not going to 26 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: be playing as much golf outside as normal, you're not 27 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: going to be on the golf course as much as normal, 28 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: and you're in a simulator, you're hitting off a mat, 29 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: you're on the range, and stuff like that, I think 30 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: it's an important time to utilize the off season that 31 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: you're not going to be playing. So it's a time 32 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, here are some things I need to 33 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: work on my golf swing. So I've said this a lot. 34 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: The most important thing for me as an instructor is contact. 35 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: It's not the direction of the ball, left to right, 36 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: right to left. I really don't care about which direction 37 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: players hit the golf ball. I work with players that 38 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: fade it, I work with players that draw it. I'm 39 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: not locked into one shape, but I am hyper focused 40 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: in my golf lessons and when I'm watching players hit balls, 41 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: is the quality of the strike and the contact. And 42 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: I always say this, I'm lucky to have a really 43 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: amazing teaching building here where I work at the Floridian. 44 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: We have three indoor bays, and the garage doors open up, 45 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: and we hit balls outside, hit balls from indoors to out. 46 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: And I always say this to players that are struggling 47 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: with contact. If we were hitting golf balls inside and 48 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: just around the corner, he walked out the building and 49 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: went to the left. If Roy McElroy showed up and 50 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: started hitting golf balls and you were inside and you 51 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: couldn't see who it was by the time he started 52 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: ramping up, once he got anything kind of past a 53 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: seven iron, once he started hitting five irons, once he 54 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: starts hitting long irons, and then once he starts hitting 55 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: three woods or drivers, you would be inside and you 56 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: would be hearing a sound that would make you think, 57 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: who the hell is out there? And if you went 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: out looked and saw it was Rory McElroy or Dustin 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: Johnson or Scotty Scheffler or Max Hoome, it doesn't matter 60 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: who it is. A elite, elite tour player. You were 61 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: going to notice if you're hitting golf balls on the 62 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: range and you're going through your shot process and four 63 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: or five slots behind you, John Rahm shows up, Scotty 64 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: Scheffler shows up, and they started hitting drivers, we are 65 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: going to turn around because of the sound. That is 66 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: the quality of the strike, and that is the quality 67 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: of the contact. So I think that's for a lot 68 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: of golfers, I think it's forgotten because they're so obsessed, 69 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: hyper focused on the curve in the direction of the 70 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: golf ball, right, how the golf ball is curving, how 71 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: the golf ball is moving, which obviously is hugely important. 72 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: But I always say this to players. If you're hitting 73 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: the golf ball off line, one of the easiest ways 74 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: to not hit the golf ball off line is to 75 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: start to hit the golf ball more solid, to catch 76 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: it more in the center of the face, to not 77 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: catch it off the toe, to not catch it in 78 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: the heel with your irons. One of the ways to 79 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: hit the golf ball more solid is to take a 80 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: divot right. Two different types of shots in golf right 81 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: iron shots where the golf ball's on the ground, and 82 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: then driver, where we tee the golf ball up. So 83 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: we have one golf club in our bag that isn't 84 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: on the ground when we hit it, and that's our driver. 85 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: We are going to tee it up. We can tee 86 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: that ball as high or as low as you want to, 87 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: but the golf ball is on a tee, so effectively, 88 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: the golf ball is in the air. And when the 89 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: golf ball is on the ground, it's on the ground right, 90 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: So if it's in the air, you've got to swing 91 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: the golf club up to where the golf ball is 92 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: on the tee. When the golf ball's on the ground, 93 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 1: you've got to get the golf club back to the ground. 94 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: You've got to get the golf club back. I always 95 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: say this in lessons as well. When you start your 96 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: golf swing, when you set up to a golf ball, 97 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: the golf ball is on the ground, it's on the surface, 98 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: and I'd venture to say most people with their irons 99 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: put the golf club on the ground on the surface. 100 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: So the ball and the club are on the ground 101 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: and on the surface. You've got to get the golf 102 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: club back to the ground to hit the golf ball 103 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: in the air. Now, obviously, if you return it back 104 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: to the ground where you hit behind the golf ball, 105 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: you're going going to hit the golf ball fat. If 106 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: you don't get the golf club back to the ground, 107 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: you're going to hit the golf ball thin. And that 108 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: is going to have a significant effect on the quality 109 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: of the strike, on the distance, and on the shape 110 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: and the direction. So off season, utilize the off season 111 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, I am just going to focus one 112 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: hundred percent on solid contact. I'm going to try and 113 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: contact the golf ball consistently, so I'm not really going 114 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: to worry about the direction the golf ball goes. And 115 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: again I said this a few minutes ago, I think 116 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: most golfers they never really think about how they're striking 117 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: the golf ball. They only think and they only react 118 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: to how much the ball is slicing, how much the 119 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: ball is hooking, how much the ball is curving left 120 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: to right, how much the ball is curving right to left. 121 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: So what are some ways in the off season if 122 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: you are stuck inside, if you are hitting golf balls 123 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: into nets, into simulators, into matts, maybe just going to 124 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 1: the driving range right, because the driving range is covered 125 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 1: and you can hit balls. So some of the drills 126 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: that I use to try and help players improve contact 127 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: is first of all, just to explain the difference, like 128 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: I just did. I mean, there's there's a difference between 129 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: iron shots and driver shots. Holy grail for driver fitting. 130 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: If anybody listening has been to a driver fitting on 131 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: the tour at the tour level, the holy grail. The 132 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: numbers they want is high launch, low spin. So they're 133 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: trying to launch the golf ball at the driver as 134 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: high as they can, and they want the spin to 135 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: be down. Most of us are hitting down on the 136 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: driver because we're coming over the top of it. We're 137 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: slicing it. The angle of attack. That's a word that 138 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: I think everybody maybe is familiar with, but if you're not, 139 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: I think it's an important phrase that it comes from 140 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: launch monitor technology. All the launch monitors now with all 141 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: the radar and the data, they give you a lot 142 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: of numbers, right, carry, launch, total carry, spin, side spin, 143 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: all of this stuff, right, But one of the things 144 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: that launch monitors do tell you is angle of attack. 145 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: That's the angle that the golf club is coming into 146 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: the ball. So when you set up to the golf ball, 147 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: the club is zero, you swing it back up. Now 148 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: you've got to swing it back down. How much you're 149 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: swinging it down is kind of a you know, launch 150 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: monitor for dummies. That's an indicator on angle of attack, 151 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: how much you're hitting up, how much you're hitting down. 152 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: So if you're trying to hit a driver, you would 153 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: want to be hitting up. So what launch monitors do 154 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: is they give negative and positive numbers. So down would 155 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: be negative, positive would be up. So using Brooks as 156 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: an example, right, Brooks Keepka one of the really elite 157 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: drivers of the golf ball with his driver, he's one 158 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: degree down with his driver. Why because he's hitting a fade. 159 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: When he tries to hit a draw, he's hitting one 160 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: degree up on it. Okay, so when players are hitting irons, 161 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: you want that. The reason why I think a lot 162 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: of players can't take dibots is they just they don't 163 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: hit down on the golf ball enough. Now, there are 164 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why. I think a lot of 165 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: players it's optical, Right, the golf ball's on the ground, 166 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: and what you're going to try and do is you're 167 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: going to try to get the golf ball in the air. 168 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: If you're topping the golf ball a lot, if you're 169 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: hitting a lot of golf balls, thin, I think logically 170 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: it would make sense to say, Okay, the ball's on 171 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: the ground, I've got to get the golf ball in 172 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: the air, so I need to swing up. I think 173 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: a lot of that is perception. But if we put 174 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: you in your golf stance and took the club away, 175 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: set up to a five art, said hey, get into 176 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: your golf pusture, go ahead and set up to this 177 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: five art, take the golf club out of your hands, 178 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: give you a ball, and say, okay, now we're gonna 179 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: throw the golf ball from your setup underhanded, and you're 180 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: gonna try and get it into the air. Most people 181 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: the arm would work up. And I think that I've 182 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: seen this enough to where I think that's what players 183 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: are trying to do. The ball isn't getting into the air. 184 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: They're coming from out to in. Their weight is going 185 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: back because they're tired of hitting it thin. They think 186 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: if they go back they'll hit up on it, and 187 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: they hit it fat. They hit it thin, and it 188 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: doesn't work. So one of the easiest ways with your 189 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: irons to start to think about improving your contact is 190 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: when you set up to the golf ball. You're setting 191 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: up and ideally we would like your weight to be 192 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: at fifty percent on the left fifty percent on the right. 193 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: If your right handed golfer, left is your lead foot, 194 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: right is your trail foot. Reverse that if you're a 195 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: left handed golfer, so fifty to fifty. One of the 196 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: best ways to improve your contact is to think of 197 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: the relationship between where your weight is on the right 198 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: leg and the left leg. So, if you're a right 199 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: handed golfer, at impact, we need you to have more 200 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 1: weight on your left foot, on your lead foot. So 201 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: if you're a right handed golfer, your left foot is 202 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: your lead foot as you're swinging the golf club into 203 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: impact and at impact, you need to have more weight 204 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: on your front foot. Fifty to fifty at impact not great, 205 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: sixty forty at impact better, seventy thirty at impact better, 206 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: eighty twenty at impact better. You know, with force plate 207 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: technology now we swing catalyst. When players are hitting golf balls, 208 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: I can see where their weight is. I can see 209 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: how their weight is shifting and how their weight is transferring. 210 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: So one of the easiest ways with your irons is 211 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: to feel like at the moment of contact, at impact, 212 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: you have to have more weight on your front foot 213 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: than your back foot. So if you're right hand golfer, 214 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: more weight at impact on your left foot. An easy 215 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: way to feel that is go ahead and get out, 216 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: get a pitching wedge, get a sand wedge, get a 217 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: small club that you can control it. You can't even 218 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: do this with nine irons, you know, nothing more than 219 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: kind of a nine iron nine iron pitching wedge, sand wedge. 220 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: You can even do this loob wedge set up to 221 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: the golf ball normally. Then if you're a right handed golfer, 222 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: drop that right foot back so your toes are all 223 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, almost behind your left heel, and then lift 224 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: your heel right heel up, so now all your weight 225 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: is going to be on your left side. Right, all 226 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: of your weight is going to be on your left side. 227 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: So if you struggle with contact, if you struggle with 228 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: hitting the golf ball thin, if you struggle with hitting 229 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: the golf ball fat heavy, this is a great way 230 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: to start to change and improve how the golf club 231 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: is being delivered into the ball at impact, but also 232 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: improve your angle of attack. So take a sand wedge. 233 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: You're going to make a kind of a half swing, 234 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: half swing back, half swing through, and you're just basically 235 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: going to keep all of that weight on your front foot. 236 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: I'm guessing if you do that, you're going to feel 237 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: something different because the reason why we're lifting that back leg. 238 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: That back foot that heal up is we're trying to 239 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: put you off balance, right, We're trying to balance you 240 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: on your front foot, on your lead foot. And I 241 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: think if you get that feeling, all of the sudden, 242 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: the contact is going to improve. The contact is going 243 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: to be different. You're going to be hitting most likely 244 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: the ball then the turf. Right. That's that's what the 245 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: best ball strikers with their irons do. They get the 246 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: ball first and then the divot is in front of 247 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: the golf ball. Another phrase that launch monitor technology has 248 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: given us is low point. Where is the low point 249 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: of the golf swing that you're making. So if you 250 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: think about your golf swing, it's kind of a little 251 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: bit of a like a half circle. Right. Start with 252 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: the golf club on the ground, take the golf club up, 253 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: take the golf club back to the ground, golf club 254 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: works back up. So where the club is bottoming out, 255 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: the low point of the golf club it needs to 256 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: be in front of the golf ball, not at the 257 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: golf ball, not behind the golf ball. So that's another 258 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: thing that during the offseason, if you do have access 259 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: to go to a range, to go to a club 260 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: and you know, if they have a launch monitor that 261 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: you can get on, you could go ahead and take 262 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: a look at this yourself. But hey, if someone's got 263 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: a launch monitor at the range or the club and say, listen, 264 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: any chance that I could book you for a half 265 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: hour and I could just get some basic numbers of 266 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: what I do. Right, So, if you've never had access 267 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: to that type of technology, I think it's really really 268 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: important to do. You would see whether you're hitting down, 269 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: whether you're hitting up, So having all of that weight 270 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: kind of shift it onto that front foot and then 271 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: just basically leaving there and then that right heel is 272 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: in the air, hit some half shots and then maybe 273 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: say all right, let me make some three quarter shots. 274 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: Maybe start off with a sand wedge and you're kind 275 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: of in that exaggerated close position, the right heels up, 276 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: all your weights on your front foot, and you're just 277 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: making swings. If you try and go backwards, you're not 278 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: going to be able to do it because that right 279 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: heel is in the air, right, so you're going to 280 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: be off balance and you're just not going to make 281 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: really good contact. You might not even make contact at all. 282 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: So you would maybe all of a sudden One of 283 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: the things I think that might happen is all of 284 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're taking a divot and the divot's in 285 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: front of the golf ball. I think that's that's a massive, 286 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: massive change. Another really basic drill to fix contact that 287 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: I like is an alignment stick. If you've got an 288 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: alignment stick in your bag, go ahead and take your setup, 289 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: and you know, start off with this with sand wedges 290 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: and work your way up. Go ahead and take your setup, 291 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: take your stance, and then say, okay, once I get 292 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: the width of my stance, I'm going to take the 293 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: alignment stick okay, and I'm going to place it on 294 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: the inside of my right foot. If you're a right 295 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: hand golfer, right, so you're just going to place it 296 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: inside and it's just going to run parallel to your 297 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: right foot. Right, so the alignment rod sticks out, and 298 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: you want to kind of have the end of the 299 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: alignment stick kind of in line with the end of 300 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: your right heel, so the majority of the alignment stick 301 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: is now kind of in your field of play. The 302 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: idea behind this is to make some swings and land 303 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: the golf club onto the ground without hitting the alignment stick. Right. 304 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: I think that's a good one. I think it's it's again, 305 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: it's very similar to the drill where your weight is forth, 306 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: but it's optical, right, It's an optical illusion that we 307 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: want to try and we know that that alignment stick 308 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: is there. So what we're going to do is it's 309 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: going to force us to cover the golf ball a 310 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: little bit more with our chest because obviously if we 311 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: go back and you can start off by doing this 312 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: and just make some practice wings, no golf ball, just 313 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: make a practice swing and get this feeling and see 314 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: if you can make practice wings and not hit that 315 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: alignment stick. That's kind of you know, running parallel to 316 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: your right foot, your left handed golfer, it's parallel to 317 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: your left foot, and the majority of the stick should 318 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: be out in front of you because we're trying to 319 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: have it as a barrier. Make some practice wings and 320 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: just say listen, let me see if I can make 321 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: practice wings and not hit the alignment stick. If you're 322 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: hitting the alignment stick, that is going to show you 323 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: a lot of things. It's going to show you that 324 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: your weight probably is going back that you know you're 325 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: trying to move backwards to try and get the golf 326 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: ball in the air, all of those things right. And 327 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: again I think you will see in this drill that 328 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: you're starting to take a divot. So you could do 329 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: this with sand wedges up to you know, pitching wedge 330 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: seven iron. You can move the alignment stick as close 331 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: to the golf balls as you want, right, just to 332 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: see what that angle is. If you look at divot 333 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: patterns with tour players with their irons, right, what tour 334 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: players do with their irons is they hit a golf 335 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: ball and they take a divot in front of the 336 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: golf ball. So then the golf ball moves back, so 337 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: they're moving back right, They're not going forward. What most 338 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: people do is they try and find on the ground. 339 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: They basically trying to find a t right. So they 340 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: hit a ball, they take a divot, and then they 341 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: address that golf ball right at the top of the divot. 342 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: The club's a little bit below it helps it get 343 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: it in the air. So you want to try and 344 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: think in terms of landing the golf club down and 345 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: taking that divot in front of the golf ball. If 346 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: you don't want to do that, sometimes I want to 347 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: hitting golf balls. I'll take a golf ball, and directly 348 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: in front of the golf ball, I'll stick a t 349 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: in the ground, push it all the way down. So 350 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: imagine that you're on a parth three, Go ahead and 351 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: tee your golf ball up. Then take the golf ball 352 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 1: off the tee and move it back to If you're 353 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: a right handed golfer, so tee it up and then 354 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: just drop it off the tee right behind it right. 355 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: So now you are going to hit your iron and 356 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: the goal is the tee that's in the ground, press 357 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: down that's in front of the golf ball. You're going 358 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: to try and hit a shot and move the tee 359 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: in front of the ball right again. That's all designed 360 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: to try and help you get that angle of attack 361 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: to hit down on it, to get that feeling of 362 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: the weight being more forward, another good way to feel, 363 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: and I ask players to do this all the time. 364 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: And lessons is go ahead and take a setup, set 365 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: up to the ball, and then imagine someone has asked 366 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: you that has never played golf before, what is impact? 367 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: But what does impact look like? Can you just show 368 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: me what impact looks like without making a backswing. That's 369 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: the important part here. We're not going to ask you 370 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: to make a backswing. So if you've got a camera 371 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: and you can film yourself doing this, go ahead and 372 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: set the camera up if you've got a tripod, and 373 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: put it on a tripod and rest it. But you're 374 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: gonna want to take a look, and you're gonna have 375 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: the camera facing your chest right, And then imagine someone 376 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: was going to ask you to explain to them what 377 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: impact look like. Just go ahead and get into what 378 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: you think would be an impact position, and then go 379 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: ahead and hit one, and then go ahead and look 380 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: at the two. I'm guessing that if you're not a 381 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: great ball striker, if you don't take a ton of divits, 382 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: if you're not a great iron player, your impact position 383 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: with a golf club and a ball is going to 384 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: look very different than your impact position with no ball, right, 385 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: if you're just getting into impact, and I'll be honest, 386 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever had anyone do this drill. 387 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: And we're talking from elite tour player down to regular 388 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: average fifteen twenty twenty five handicappers trying, you know, someone 389 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,239 Speaker 1: trying to break a hundred for the first time. There 390 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: isn't anyone whose impact position looks bad. They all get 391 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: into good impact positions that the club goes, the handle 392 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: goes a little bit forward, the weight goes forward, the 393 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: hips turn whatever, the head goes a little bit forward. Definitely, 394 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: the weight goes forward. I have never seen anyone when 395 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: I say show me impact and we're able to measure 396 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: how much percentage of weight is on the left and 397 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: the right. I can't think of anybody that's gone sixty 398 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: forty right leg versus left leg. Everybody say when I 399 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: say say just show me impact, you know where impact is? 400 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: What would impact look like? Everyone tends to get into 401 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: a good impact position. And I think if you can 402 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: work backwards from that and say, okay, I've got an 403 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: image of what my body looks like when I'm in 404 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: a good impact position, right, so man, maybe I can 405 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: try and make my regular golf swing look like that 406 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: getting into that really really good impact position. Impact contact, 407 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: the quality of the strike, the quality of the interaction 408 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: between the golf club and the ball and the ground 409 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: is massively, massively important to become a better iron player, 410 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: to become a better ball striker. One of the things 411 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: when we're looking at launch monitor technology as well, When 412 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: people's contact and impact gets better when the quality of 413 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: the strike gets better, when they start to take a 414 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: divot with their irons, I see the speed. Right, there's 415 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: two things we're looking at speed wise in the golf 416 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: when we're looking at clubhead speed and ball speed. But 417 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: when I see players contact improve, the number one thing 418 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: that I see is the ball speed increases. The speed 419 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: the golf ball is coming off the golf club increases 420 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: because you're going to be hitting it more in the 421 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: center of the face, You're going to be creating a 422 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: better impact position, You're going to be creating better contact. 423 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: So the quality of the strike. We will tend to 424 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: see that in ball speed right, in the speed of 425 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: the golf ball coming off the golf sometimes right if 426 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: we look at when players are struggling, we'll look at 427 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: their club head speed on a bad shot versus a 428 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: good shot, and sometimes the good shot, the clubheads speed 429 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: actually goes down maybe a mile per hour, half a 430 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: mile per hour, two miles per hour, but the ball 431 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 1: speed jumps five ten miles per hour, and they hit 432 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: the golf ball fifteen yards further with maybe one mile 433 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: per hour less clubhead speed, but the ball speed jumps. 434 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: That's contact, that's quality of strike. One of the biggest 435 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: differences not the single I was gonna say the single, 436 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: but one of the biggest differences between regular average golfers 437 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: non elite elite players is quality of strike. I mean 438 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: Roy McRoy doesn't hit the golf ball thin, right, John Rahm. 439 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: Every maybe a couple of times a year you might 440 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: see an elite elite to where a player hit one. 441 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean Scotty Scheffler doesn't hit the golf ball thin 442 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: the five iron. It's not blading it over the green right, 443 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: he's not hitting six inches behind it. Quality of the 444 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: strike is good. So in the offseason, if you're going 445 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: into that or if you're ramping up your golf again 446 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: and you're going to be playing a lot of golf, 447 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: think about contact. Contact for me is the single most 448 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: important thing you can improve to improve the quality of 449 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: your golf shops and the quality of the direction. I 450 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: think if you're hitting the golf ball more solid, it's 451 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: not going to be moving as much so rather than 452 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: if you're slicing the golf ball, get good contact and 453 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 1: then see what that does to the slice. If the 454 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: contact improves, the club isn't coming in so open, the 455 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: weight's not going back, maybe instead of licing the golf ball, 456 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: we go to hitting a poll, or maybe we just 457 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: go to hit a little bit of a fade, but 458 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: it goes further, it curves less, and same thing. If 459 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: you're struggling with the draw and you're hitting snappook after 460 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: snappook after snap hook, the impact position gets better. If 461 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: the quality of strikes gets better, maybe instead of hitting hooks, 462 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: we just go to hitting straight balls, or we just 463 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: go to hitting little draws. Something to think about. Hopefully 464 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: that made sense. But like I said, I gauge golfers 465 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: off of the quality of the strike because as I 466 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: said earlier, I don't care if you hit draws or fades, 467 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: but the quality of the strike. I think if that improves, 468 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: your golf will improve. I want to thank everybody for 469 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: listening rate reviews. God, wherever you get your podcast, Son 470 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: of a Butch, you'll see you sore.
