Shanks come from high hands now just think of that if you shank the ball anyone here shank the ball a little bit okay I’m going to give you a tip I’m going to give you a tip shanken comes from moving the hle towards the ball some people say oh it’s going over the top no it’s not got nothing to do with it it’s actually it’s actually with high hand and what I mean by high hands is you get your hands up here to Chip and then when you go to hit the ball your hands lower now look at look at the club face look what happens to it you see that the hle moving towards the ball right that’s what happen you got high hands and then when you got to hit it you come down and you go this way you see that you go high low high low okay if you’re shanking go low high that now that’s that didn’t take a hell of a lot of this there you think about it what if I go low high you’re not going to shake it you may tow it but you’re not going to shake it see so what happens if I go here well then now it’s going to come inside see and when you want to go low it’s the way you want to go anyway and the reason for it what’s the secret in a three4 shot half shot quarter shot it’s a deceleration stroke what is it you want to keep the angle of the hand Square the target if you’re high you can’t because you’re manipulating okay now think about it when you grip a club and you you all do it grip a golf club take the club face it to the sky here now you will notice that the face of the club is pointing in the sky right where’s the left hand pointing same way isn’t it so now wherever this goes it’s going to influence that way now think another thing what about when you put your right hand on the club and this pertains to all the club when you put this hand on the club where is the pal of the hand facing it’s facing the same direction that one is ah and guess what it’s facing in the same direction that one is so is that one important or these two it’s these two that’s important that’s got nothing to do with it you know it’s got nothing to do with playing golf the head of the club doesn’t once you put it down and get a Gill it’s what you do with the hand I was teaching the ladies and giving them lessons at the green BR they come out there and they take the club outside the line and then they reroute it and they hit the biggest banana you’ve ever seen and I’m sitting there watching two of them and I’m sitting there watching and they drove down they drove down to get a lesson from me two of them we had a hell of a time we we had a ball down there I don’t we Must Have Spent 3 hours that’s supposed to be there there 45 minutes and I says to him I said y’all that slice all the time I said yeah I said okay I’m going to straighten you out I said have you ever hear a hook she said never I said would you like to I said would you like to hook the ball I said I don’t mean that I said you just hook you know the ball I want you to hook the ball and she says yeah I said okay I’m going to show you something okay now I just want you to think of something don’t don’t even use a clo I said give me the clo I said pretend you’re sit in a golf cart you’re sitting in this golf cart right here you’re at a red light and I’m sitting next to you and I tell you to go straight what are you going to do you’re not going to turn that steering wheel are you you’re holding on to that cart you’re going to go straight same thing as when you’re coming down here back at the left hand of the target come here it’s got to go straight and nothing’s moved it’s got to go straight I said now what if we’re sitting at the red light and you got your hands on the steering wheel and I told you to take a left what would you do your hands are here I said you go that way wouldn’t you she said yeah I said exactly you’re going to draw the ball if you want to go to the right you take the stern wheel and you go this way if you think you went this way and the ball didn’t go that way then you didn’t do it that’s called feedback that’s the greatest that’s the greatest accomplish you can have on a driving range when you’re practicing is feedback you have to know what you’re doing wrong to do that and generally it’s these two it’s got nothing to do with this this this this got nothing to do with this it’s these babies this is the driver this is what drives the Boss look what this man can do with the upper body why he got a pair of these and they’re good and he knows where they’re at that’s why he hits that ball like he does you could have piled them up out there Stuart could have put that shag bag out there would had to pick the balls up he put them all in his bag out there Hogan used to do that why he knows where these are at see he’s not using any legs he’s not losing any hips he’s using shoulders and hands and why because he manipulate he knows exactly where they’re at all the time that’s what’s important now if you think for one second that you you have to have the same grip for every shot it’s balone me and you need to work on this the right hand right hand is the driver it’s the thing that drives everything take this ad IR for instance just monkeying around with it if I wanted to go if if I wanted the ball to drop a little bit to the right look at you see what I did with the hand you see me turn it over see what I did here’s my normal grip watch that’s my normal grip when I want this ball to drop a little to the right I change nothing except the right hand I put the ball back a tiny bit I get the right hand and put it on top you see that I can almost see a knuckle see and the ball will drop a little bit off to the right it has to do it automatically because look at your hand I want you to look at my forearm and look at the way I’m holding my hand I’m going to give you a tip here you never heard of you see this you see this forearm you put a dot on this forearm if that forearm is facing up and you’re a pretty good player chances are you’re going to hook this ball because this is the rubber band effect this arm you ever see a guy walking down the street this way no if he is walking down the street this way and he lets it go watch the arm will go it’ll go back to there see that’s the thing the hands and the arms will always want to go back to the Natural position so when you want to hit a weird shot you change the position to where it’ll work back to your benefit so what you do is you is you put this arm is you put this this hand watch if you put this hand on now see how the arm see how the forearm turned now the forearm turned there so when I come down the swing it’ll want to go back there well I’m holding on the club so what’s it going to do to the face of the club see is I’m there so so what it’s going to it’s it’s going to open the blade you don’t have to do anything you have to change your swing all this business oh put the right foot back on let’s get open I got too much weight on the left I fell back yeah didn’t do with it it’s got nothing to do with it you’re going to draw the ball okay so now you can see some of the forearm you see that now it’ll come see I mean it get any better than that I don’t give a damn what you tell me see see it’s crazy it’s crazy how you do you know people say well you can’t hit the ball high oh no I can hit it high I just don’t want to and the guy says what do you mean I said when you get the ball way up there it takes a long time to come down a lot of stuff can happen to it it can hit a bird there’s a lot of wind I said I like to play down but if I want to hit the ball high I can what I do is I lean you see I lean back and I want to hit the ball high I’ll get on this side get the wind the hand week and then I’ll stay on on the right side see and then I stay back there any time you move your body forward you will decelerate the club I mean deloft the club people that hit the ball low crawl with it they crawl they go right with it and this is what happened that’s like a lowball like if you were playing this little wind right here and you had a 110 yard shot you wanted to kind of bump the ball in to hit a low shot oh I get over that to hit a low this an to hit a low shot what do you do people don’t realize that they try to hit it low they get back here and they’re going no no no you can’t do that everybody when I went on tour hit low shots hooked them it’s not e it’s not hard to hit a ball low if you hook it not easy at all not hard at all because you’re delofting the club and you’re closing it so the ball’s not going to get in the air but looks like a fish hook you know it’s it looks like this but hit a golf ball with every Club in your bag including the sand wedge is you must crowd it is you got to get on top of the ball and the reason you get on top of it is because you can’t release it cuz if you release it you’ll shank it you have to pull the club in and to pull the club in you got to pull this hand up and when you pull this hand up it keeps it keeps the club Square to Target and it takes Loft off see you get right on top of it right there see and that’s how you hit this little bump and run uhhuh this is how it comes up see that’s how you do it I do it cuz I know where this is at I always know where this is at this is the most important part of playing golf when it comes to 3/4 shots any deceleration shot if it’s a deceleration shot you have got this is see this is a a a sand wedge and and I can get right right on top of it see see I can do all that all these little shots uh and all the and you notice how the butt of the club always stayed with the forearm or it stayed in front of the blade now I’m going to give you the best tip you’ve ever had this is the one you struggle with that little mother right there that’s why you have a hundred of them in the garage you got guys are all guilty every one of you are guilty you got hundreds of them in the garage you think you hide them from Mama but they know they know no way do you got Putters in that garage you trying to get them at the pro shop and don’t put it on my bill don’t put what well let me tell you about this baby here it has nothing to do with h it doesn’t make any difference what this putter look like how it’s built as long as it has the right lie and the right Loft on it you should have no more than three and the LI should be standard all that business of standing with the with the putter out there 400 yards it’s not going to get it because the putter will feel like a sledgehammer number one and you can’t get it back and you start getting The Yips and you start doing all stuff this one here this this one here is more important than the one I just used as far as this little baby right here you see the cap on that thing whatever you do with this is going to influence this and this is why you’re a bad putter is because this doesn’t move back with the head it moves forward when the head moves backwards when the head moves backwards the top moves forward they got to meet you see that they got to meet never going to meet to say it the same way twice okay never go then you’ll get to the point to where you get so discouraged that you get The Yips you won’t be able to take the putter back it’s not the point that the guy can’t hit the putt can’t get the putter back and once he gets it back he realizes it’s not square and he’s too far back so he slows down and I mean it’s like this like swallowing a a ball of bailing wire you know I mean it’s you can’t do that so you have to make sure that this baby here why do you think people that have The Yips can go to a long putter okay why this doesn’t move think about it this doesn’t move they stand there and they go it stays there you know it’s not moving that way it stays right there and they go this way that’s why they can putt with it the short putter the the armlock why do you think they can put with that when they have when they’re when they uh when they uh the have the Ys is because it’s locked in watch see that it’s locked so this thing can’t go back no it has goes with a head well however that moves this move you see that’s why you can f with it you see that but once you get here you’ll start going you I I I know I I’m I’m guilty I’m guilty I mean I start bleeding out there sometimes when I put I put it with my boy at the Father’s son I hit putts from here to that bucket I couldn’t have made it if it was the bucket I mean you get the Ys you can’t there’s not damn thing you can do I hit those W but he told me he said don’t worry about it dead I’ll make those putts and he did we had to we were tied with four holes to go and Dustin John Thomas and his dad bured to of the last four holes and beat us by a shot but uh we almost won that tournament uh my son and I but she they put me up there they put me up there a little bit and I told him when I got there I said Daniel I said I don’t take a backseat to wedges I don’t care if it is Dustin Thomas and I says I don’t care who’s here I said they got Patrick H they got BJ let me tell you I eat their lunch I said with these wedges don’t you worry about the wedges and I said and I’ll eat their lunch off the Fairway I mean off the tea because I’m 75 yards in front of them not one of those guys out drove me not one because my teeth were from here to that bunker cuz I’m over 80 I’m serious I was strutting too baby I I I mean I was hitting that four miles four miles up there and we’re hitting wedges and I’m I’m taking those we in there well I was closer to the hole than I could get with a putt I mean it was shaky my son was making putts from here to that flag you know well he’s 28 years old I mean and he’s got a lot of money so why not what the hell so any anyway so I mean it’s so okay so I’m going to show you what I want you to work on with the putter okay I don’t want you to do it today cuz you might slap me before I leave here and uh these are just when you go practice please just don’t stand there and hit the ball that doesn’t do anything you see that doesn’t do anything that’s like running a marathon and you go out there and jog it takes you 20 minutes to run a mile can’t do that you’re going to run a 26 mile marathon you got you got to get some speed the same thing in Goth when you go out there they ask me every day I go every day to the go CL I was just telling this every day I go and seven days a week I go to go CL I get up at 5:00 I go to the gym I have my own gym at the house and I go in the gym do a few stuff anyway to get back to the putter listen to me I want you to I want you to think about the putter okay I’m going to hit a couple of putts here just to show you can see what we’re talking about most people will get up over the Putter and they’ll take the putter back but watch the top here they’ll take it back but now you see how it moved you see how the top now is aiming here well this Putter’s got to come back it’s got to come back unless you hold on to it like like I was hitting those wedges then then then you’re okay but then you got to put 6 deges of Loft on the putter cuz you’re delofting it yeah you’re delofting it that’s why a lot of times I if a guy holds on too long the ball bounces on you so I want you to start practicing taking the top back first it’ll be a weird feeling but you will be surprised how much butter you’ll hit it and online now watch what I mean you put your hands on it and don’t worry about that head you push the handle back watch you see that watch watch the handle watch the top of the handle watch it’s almost like you’re you’re pushing back with this with a palm of your left hand plus it’ll reduce the back swing most guys that forward press you know or this handle goes forward the putter on a short putt gets there that’s too far away you can’t hit this putt you got to slow down and when you and you know if you get up in the Years you’re going to start yipping it so what you want to do is just practice is take the top back first you know if you watch Tiger Woods when he practices he practices one hand hits thousands of putts onehanded and he doesn’t use the left hand he uses the right hand but watch he will pull the handle back see that watch this the handle goes back they used to make a device called the bickler remember had a thing that went in there and then it went up against your forearms so the butt of the club couldn’t move either way and you had to use the V to put with it was almost like like this here see it how the the putter stayed in the middle all the time if the if you’re not putting well chances are this is moving too much on you so what you need to do when you have some time I’m like I said I don’t want you doing it today is you need to start putting it down and seeing if you can just push the back it’s push it back it’s push it back push it back push the butt back through back through as a matter of fact now what’s going to happen is you’re going to hit this ball you’re going to hit this ball before the butt gets to it in other words they’re going to meet there and this is when you’re going to have a chance to making it’s almost like going this way now instead of this way it’s almost like going this way and and and and it’ll improve it I want to hit one drive and then we’ll go have some lunch okay hey it’s getting cooler is it going to rain it was beating up Chicago last night I was watching it now driving again get tested you got to go get tested you’ve got to go get to go go to someone that can test your golf swing see your speed right shaft Club doesn’t meet that much uh it’s not that important as far as what club you’re going to use as long as it’s got the right lie on it but you need to get you need to get fitted you need to get fitted for a golf club it’s so important now and especially as you get older because your body changes the swing speed changes uh the swing gets shorter um it gets more inside or outside uh it gets outside as we get older simply because we can’t turn our head believe it or not and it’s a no no it’ll cost you nothing but distance and and and I I I’ll demonstrate two two drives and that’s it for you because I wanted to demonstrate what happens to you when you get to the point to where you’re to where you get up in the years now it’s like getting in your car now as you gotten up in the years the most difficult thing here is now when you go to a stop sign and look to see if any cars are coming God damn you can’t turn your head over there you know you notice how you shift in the seat to go to go this way and then you get a cck in your neck it’s a me I don’t do anything I try to angle so I can look at the mirror you know so I can see the mirror but what happens when you play golf is you can’t see the target from a square stand and as we get older you can’t turn your head you’re here and now all of a sudden you look up well hell this is as far as you can see you’re trying to look at something down here you’re looking over there so you can’t you so what happens is you invariably you’ll get to the point where you start going in this way you see that now you’re open but your alignment is so bad that you can’t get any speed because your shoulders are here your hips are here you understand the only guy I’ve ever seen that the could putt like hell with his hips wide open with Jack Nicholas but he rinsed his upper body you ever notice that he got like this he got this way but then but then he squared you see that he squared his shoulders up when he put it and when you drive the ball this is what you have to be careful with and you’ll get short when you do that this is a perfect example of of watch this this this is my see how I’m open see there’s no way that I I’m I’m going to get any speed I can hit it straight but I’m not going to speed now this one I can dance on it because I’m going to turn the shoulder now I’m not even going to look you see that I can barely see but now I’ve got the shoulder see I’ve got the shoulders closed to Target and now I’m going to be able to uh one more I’m now I got sff uh I was hitting them a while ago and you turn you turn the left shoulder you can get it you can get it faster I’ll dance on one here and then we’ll go eat now liit but that’s that’s how you you you have to be very careful with your shoulder alignment when it comes to full shot if you’re open chances are it’s going to be difficult to get the club back inside it’ll go outside the line then you’re going to have to reroute it that’s going to cost you distance so what we’re trying to do is we’re trying to turn this left shoulder in so we can dance on it a little bit [Applause] yeah okay whatever you do don’t try that stuff today it takes a little practice I’m serious
