Okay right so there it is good old SCE yeah what’s that just told you about your swing path uh it’s very open no that’s your Club phas yeah what about the path the direction the club swinging where must it have been oh I’m still going left

Right yeah so swinging left is not going to give us an opportunity to close the face okay so the first thing we need to do is Swing right so just step back over there and just have a swing now over here which might seem crazy right but

Look through that hoop that’s where you swing in okay but that’s not to go that’s not to hit the ball through here okay that’s going to go that way okay anywhere left of the hoop will be brilliant cuz that’s going to close the face all I want you

To do is swing in this Direction that’s it have a go with the ball yeah good so see the curvature even though it was skyed yeah it drew so you actually had a closed face to your path whatever’s through that hoop that’s where you’re swinging the trees whatever you’re

Seeing now set up to the board but you’re not set it up to go through the hoop you’re set it up to go over here okay but now look so you set it up to go there now you shift your attention over here and this is where you swing okay

Wow that was new so this is how steep you are at the minute uhhuh so you’re you’re striking it like this uhhuh and then it hits the top of the and pops up so we want to be striking on the way up okay so just take

That again just make a swing for me that’s shallower around the body so imagine hitting up here where would that swing go up yeah and again up there imagine you throwing the club head through there notice where the follow through takes you where the spring takes you to

Throw the club up there yeah hold it there now that’s a different finish yeah so we’re catching the ball on the up okay let’s have a shot now exploring that upward path out here we got a fa yeah we’ve got a face that’s closing but it’s just yeah that

Won’t come too steep yeah take the club with your left hand mhm just stand back a bit and have a swing back and forth and what I want you to do is feel the feel the spring the droing part now when you swing it back Dean throw it

Back why not not picking it up with your arm swing it back and turn your shoulders back watch this and then drop and pop it okay so use your wide shoulder turn yes but you’re going down here instead of springing up into the air to the sky spring up to the clouds

That was better and let your head Go With It Up that you’re going you just gone over here yeah naturally we want to be over here for a drawer okay but you’re not steering it we’ve got to turn the shoulders and let the arm get thrown off the rib cage so let

You let you pop that Springs you and that then unwinds you and the arm just throw gets thrown off the C rib cage so swing maybe swing the club around the body more that way yes yeah and then yeah then you can get it out to me think about where the path

Is on the way back that matches the intention on the way through yes and the club just go again stop here for me yeah the club great rotate rotate rotate should be like this after after you hit the box it have rotated so let it rotate

Yes okay I never rotate through a driver so that shot that You’ hit there with the Rotator face goes this way okay withraw nice shots what a golf shot be be good see the shape yeah so it’s drawing just got steep on it yeah okay it too much no it’s the swing it’s

Really your Direction’s not going right so we’ll start like this and then we’ll spring to twist up drop the knees spring to twist up the other way so uh drop just drop first yes then yes so you’ve got to drop first so stay there drop now

Spring to twist stay in that space drop and swing to twist uh spring to twist then you can can start to get it to flow from one to the other but you got to pop the hips up now pop the belt buckle up that’s it and

Drop and then pop the other way so this is what we need to focus on yeah because otherwise what happens is your body flips it and goes to the top half and it’s with this it was intered to see where your natural dominant place is to

Go to drive the action it’s the upper body and then he throws you back into that place now see if you can do that on the discs dropping and popping just in the air back and forth okay so so weird CU you want to use the hands you see you

Want to control it with your arms yes oh so weird with you yeah let me show you yeah this is what I want you to get expert level up [Applause] yeah yeah this is good cuz this is stuff I can practice at home in this is exactly and this is the nuts and

Bolts of your swing this is what makes the these are the the small exercises that make a massive difference cuz you’re wanted to stay in flexion you’re not wanted to extend your knees you’re not wanted to Spring the little body and then release the yeah and then release the club

Yeah yeah can’t all together you see it and it takes you left yeah just do it again for me we’ve got to get this right yes no now stay there drop first now pop to swiish it back yes yes yeah now hold it there drop go back

Again drop and pop now hold it there now drop now pop and spring spring and swing to me yeah got to get some pop the club comes after yeah oh it’s so weird it is weird now do it on the now do it on the car on the on the grass see

What it’s like in the air yes yeah yes that was awesome maybe my balance isn’t the best on that um well it’s always better when you go back to the ground yeah cuz the basically Dean the the exercises are harder than the real thing yeah they’re challenging you

So that then you can go back to the swing and it’s more you can use the ground now and then you can use the spring at the right time yes that’s better that was very very good just that was just a swing left that’s all go again take your

STS so face face CL that’s it just twist it twist it twist there we go now swing it back it rotate yes there you go ball flying right to left okay so just start above the ball go over there close the face to the ground okay and then off you

Go so too aggressive these are only practice swings only practice shots yeah soft swings right see now bit of draw see it yeah started right but that’s okay that’s good and again beautiful we’re just giving the body an experience of what it’s like brilliant shot that was awesome so you used your

Rotation yeah I never really s do that have another go that felt good you can use you’ve got great rotation now it’s coming from the drop pop and at that but you’ve got purpose to it in terms of Direction a direction in mind to it awesome you like that’s letting it

Go different feeling yeah big different feeling feel like I’m turning my body more yeah good and you’ve got because you’re moving so much better you’ve got dynamic balance to it so you can it’s allowing you to use your movement nice one what a shot shot Dean that a different golf shot yeah

Definitely different golf sh not a slice and it’s flighted yeah awesome yeah it’s all right so you know where you go next swing’s fantastic you just rotate it shot nice that’s awesome yeah I never never hit one that that was awesome and you did that yourself from the previous shot recogniz

I need to close the face and you had the feeling to do it this is just the start and then what you’ve just explored there with the extra turn is where you can go with your irons okay so you can turn the same with the irons yeah yeah but I mean

You range with the driver bigger but you’re going to now what you’ve got is you’ve got a framework to go and practice and develop an understanding of where you can go with your movement and take it and then how to refine it all right yeah mate great de that was

Awesome M honestly that was amazing thank you very much fantastic pretty beat right now but I know I know that was awesome enjoyed it I really did mate yeah that was uh that was fny well done that was awesome it Was
