00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.439
Hey, what's up Rotary Swing Golfers? This
2
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.219
is RST instructor Chris Tyler, and we are
3
00:00:05.219 --> 00:00:07.120
back with this week's tour analysis with
4
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.480
a specialty shot this week. So we just
5
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.099
followed up the President's Cup. And I
6
00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:12.359
know that we've had a lot of questions on
7
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:14.519
how do those guys on TV flight their
8
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:16.160
wedges down? How do I hit that shot
9
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.760
myself? And that's what we're going to be
10
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:18.980
discussing this week. I'm going to show
11
00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:21.280
you guys Bill Haas and Adam Scott, Two
12
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.940
key moves in each of their golf swings
13
00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:24.399
that allow them to control their
14
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.079
trajectory and get a ton of compression
15
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:27.899
at the same time. So if this is something
16
00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:29.420
you're lacking in your game, you want to
17
00:00:29.420 --> 00:00:30.940
pay really close attention to today's
18
00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:31.160
review.
19
00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:39.840
Okay gang, So I know a lot of us have had
20
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.759
the chance to go to a professional golf
21
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:43.439
tournament in the past. Or maybe we've
22
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.100
even seen it on TV, where we see these
23
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:47.939
golf pros really start to control their
24
00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:49.100
trajectory, hitting a lot of these
25
00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:52.600
boring, penetrating style shots. And some
26
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.579
of us have even had the luck to be able
27
00:00:54.579 --> 00:00:56.359
to pull that shot off on our own. And
28
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:57.840
really never had a good understanding of
29
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.420
what the heck we did and how the heck we
30
00:00:59.420 --> 00:00:59.920
do it again.
31
00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:01.700
And that's where our focus is going to
32
00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:02.600
be. This week is we're going to talk
33
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.299
about two of the really key moves that
34
00:01:04.299 --> 00:01:06.019
allow you to control trajectory, which is
35
00:01:06.019 --> 00:01:08.659
critical for windy conditions and also
36
00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:09.920
being able to control the spin on the
37
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.980
golf ball, which is a very big part of
38
00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:13.959
the game these days. And so we're going
39
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:15.819
to be focusing on two really big areas of
40
00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:18.040
both Haas and Scott's golf swing. And
41
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:19.340
then we're going to lay out a good game
42
00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:21.099
plan for you moving forward so that you
43
00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:22.180
can understand how you're going to start
44
00:01:22.180 --> 00:01:23.379
to work this into your own game.
45
00:01:23.919 --> 00:01:25.079
So let's go ahead and get started here.
46
00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:26.299
We're going to back both players up to
47
00:01:26.299 --> 00:01:28.120
the top of the swing. We're only looking
48
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.680
at it from the top of the swing down this
49
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.620
week because we're not going to look at a
50
00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:32.780
lot of the other moving parts here. But
51
00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:34.040
our focus is going to be on the lead
52
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.420
wrist and our body position.
53
00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:38.200
And so what we're going to look at here
54
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.560
in the first place is the lead wrist is
55
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.459
now facing up towards the sky. Bill Haas
56
00:01:42.459 --> 00:01:43.780
is a little bit more cupped than Adam
57
00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:45.739
Scott at the top. But I want you to pay
58
00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:48.219
close attention to how the lead wrist
59
00:01:48.219 --> 00:01:51.400
starts to rotate on the way down. So the
60
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.400
lead wrist is starting to rotate. And as
61
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.000
we start to approach the trail thigh, You
62
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.540
can see now that the Glove logo is now
63
00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:59.239
gone from being faced up towards the sky
64
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.060
to being faced back here at us at home.
65
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.719
But more importantly, What I want you to
66
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.760
take notice of is the position of the
67
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.740
lead side of the body at this particular
68
00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:10.960
junction of the golf swing. So what
69
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.219
you're going to notice here is that the
70
00:02:13.219 --> 00:02:17.840
lead ankle, the lead knee, the lead hip
71
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.300
socket, and the lead shoulder are all
72
00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:22.180
right on top of one another. That's a
73
00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:24.139
really big part of being able to control
74
00:02:24.139 --> 00:02:25.520
your trajectory because that's helping
75
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.280
you control the bottom of the swing arc.
76
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.580
All right, so our lead ankle or lead
77
00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:32.199
knee, Our lead hip socket and our lead
78
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:33.960
shoulder are all right on top of each
79
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.479
other as the lead wrist is starting to
80
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.680
approach the trail thigh. So let's go
81
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:39.520
ahead and take a look at Adam here.
82
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.360
You're going to see something very
83
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:40.780
similar.
84
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.300
Okay, you see him make a shift and then
85
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:46.500
as his hands start to work down in front
86
00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:47.699
here, You're going to see that the Glove
87
00:02:47.699 --> 00:02:49.659
logo is now facing back towards us at
88
00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:51.599
home, and you're going to notice that.
89
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.280
The lead side of the body is really
90
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.439
stacked up here. Very, very textbook-like
91
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.460
move to being able to control trajectory.
92
00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:02.120
So now what I want you to understand is
93
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:03.860
that the body movements are getting you
94
00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:05.159
set up to be able to control where the
95
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:06.419
bottom of the swing arc is, but now
96
00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:08.560
what's going to control the trajectory of
97
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.599
the shot is the lead wrist. Okay, the
98
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.240
lead wrist is really responsible for
99
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:14.879
being able to control what the ball is
100
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.340
doing. So if you were to have a flat
101
00:03:16.340 --> 00:03:17.020
wrist position,
102
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.819
that in turn is going to have a little
103
00:03:19.819 --> 00:03:21.120
bit of forward shaft lean, but if you
104
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.479
were to try to have a really bowed left
105
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:23.879
wrist,
106
00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:25.900
that in turn is going to cause you to
107
00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:27.520
have more forward shaft lean, which is
108
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:28.599
going to help the golf ball come off
109
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.219
really low. So we've got some videos
110
00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:31.259
that'll help you out with that. We'll get
111
00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:32.479
into that here just a little bit further.
112
00:03:32.939 --> 00:03:34.360
But what I want you to notice here from
113
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.219
Adam as he starts to work down into the
114
00:03:36.219 --> 00:03:37.439
hitting area, you're going to see that
115
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.020
this glove logo is now facing down the
116
00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:40.599
target line.
117
00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:42.659
All right, here we are at impact where
118
00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:44.039
you've got just a little bit of forward
119
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:45.560
shaft lean here, probably seven, eight
120
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.460
degrees or so. And you're going to see
121
00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:49.680
very similar position here with Bill
122
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.900
Haas. So you can see glove logo is now
123
00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:53.219
down his target line.
124
00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:56.240
Okay, And you can see that got a little
125
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.400
bit of forward shaft, lean here and a
126
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.060
good stacked up lead position. So this is
127
00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:02.759
really kind of where the rubber meets the
128
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.060
road when it comes to controlling
129
00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:06.099
trajectory and being able to flight your
130
00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:07.400
golf ball properly. You always want to
131
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.120
think body position and lead wrist
132
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:09.639
position.
133
00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:11.659
And in turn, you'll be able to start to
134
00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:13.240
control those wedge shots just like the
135
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.740
guys you see on TV. So a couple videos
136
00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:16.740
that are going to help you out with this
137
00:04:16.740 --> 00:04:18.360
whole process. We have the penetrating
138
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:18.939
wedge shot.
139
00:04:19.780 --> 00:04:21.060
All these videos that I mentioned are
140
00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:22.139
going to be over here to the right-hand
141
00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:23.720
side of the video player. Just go ahead
142
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.100
and click that recommended videos tab.
143
00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:26.399
They'll all populate for you.
144
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.639
We have penetrating wedge shot. We've got
145
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.199
the knuckles down logo down. That's
146
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.500
another good video that's going to teach
147
00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:33.000
you how to get the club face into a good
148
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.899
position. Down in the hitting area with
149
00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:37.040
good forward shaft lean. We also have
150
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:37.899
squaring the face.
151
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.860
Those videos are all fantastic that teach
152
00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:42.879
you how to get some gradual rotation. And
153
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.879
it's also right in the midst of the new
154
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.839
Perfecting Your Impact Position series
155
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.560
that we're releasing right now. So you
156
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.939
can go ahead and start to tie all these
157
00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:51.540
together. And you're going to be well on
158
00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:52.660
your way to hitting some really good
159
00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:54.160
controlled golf shots on the golf course.
160
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.639
And never question yourself how you did
161
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:55.759
it.
162
00:04:56.300 --> 00:04:57.480
All right, gang, so that's today's
163
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:58.800
review. Get out there and let's control
164
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.600
those wedge shots and make it a great
165
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:00.819
day.
