How does the GOAT Code tie in with the DEAD Drill & AXIOM? The answer is in this video.

If you don’t understand why you’re not having success yet swinging like Tiger, it’s also in this video. It’s almost certainly because you are out of position going back.

Tiger’s 2000 backswing was ridiculously simple. The simplest backswing of all time in my opinion.

And once you get it right, you’ll find that it was simple you’ll wonder why you ever struggled with it in the first place.

how do the dead drill the Axiom C4 goat Theory goat study how does all this stuff tie together it’s one of the biggest questions I’ve gotten and asked and I want to explain it now and help you understand really just how simple what the goat code really is because it’s shockingly simple but let me explain how all this stuff works together first the dead drill was basically nothing more than teaching you first how to understand how to move your body so this is the whole back swing shift back to the left post up that was the first three steps of the Dead drill then we add the arm the left arm then we add the club then we add the right arm and that’s the whole golf swing it was a way of thinking about the swing learning the swing step by step through mechanics now here’s the catch with that stuff and here’s what we saw after doing tens of thousands of Swing reviews we would see guys and gals who could do these drills really really well and some of them would translate that to feel others wouldn’t they would keep feeling mechanical and and look you know stuck and and rigid and robotic and what what I realized was that the right mechanics will sometimes translate to the right feeling for certain golfers but the right feeling will always translate to the right mechanics and that’s a huge dichotomy between those two ideas because Mechanics for some people they can take it and they’re like oh yeah I get it I’m supposed to move like this okay cool and then they can go out and play Great Golf and then others get stuck in that mechanical mode and feeling rigid and thinking their way logically through the golf swing and your brain just simply can’t keep up enter the Axiom the Axiom was simply my first attempt to teach you how to make those mechanical things happen in your golf swing automatically through feel and for some of you that made a world of sense I’ve got you know it’s the Holy Grail of golf and all those thousands of comments that you saw but again not for everyone not everybody could translate this into do the right feeling so as I kept working and studying and spent the last four years studying really just how the arms and body work together and what the ideal way to do it is I started studying more about the greats and that’s where the goat Theory came from of course many of you know I’m a huge Tiger fan at least of his golf swing and because really more than anything it’s always looked so simple when you look at this swing from the early 2000s he’s just barely moved moving he’s moving so much less than everybody else and that’s what I’ve always thought about in his in terms of his golf swing is that he’s just doing things simpler and so as I started studying this I started looking at the swings of Bobby Jones and Nicholas again you guys know I grew up on Nicholas and I hung on every word he said growing up because I watched his golf my way tapes thousands of times as a kid and I started looking at the similarities and dissimilarities between the greatest golfers of all time and that’s where the goat Theory came in and I started Ed trying to understand what is it that they’re really doing now mechanically it’s not exactly rocket science to understand what the greatest players of all time did in their swing what great golfers of today do there’s so many more similarities and dissimilarities and of course we have all these fancy tools now that can measure everything and tell us exactly what they’re doing the trick of it all is what do they feel because none of these golfers Jones Hogan Sneed any of these great players they didn’t learn through mechanics which is how everybody’s trying to learn the golf swing today because it makes sense if you understand the mechanical movements of the Swing then surely you should be able to translate the field but as I said not everybody can so what I started really wanting to understand is what does tiger’s swing feel like what is it that he feels in his golf swing now unfortunately he’s not the most um Cooperative in this environment even tour Pros think that he’s speaking another language there do you feel it in your arms you feel yeah how do you regulate this how yeah how how do you regulate I just slow it down and I feel it all in my hands so I slow my speed of my hands down and can you explain things like just like a normal person oh my gosh when you listen to Tiger talk about a swing or Nicholas and I love Nicholas’s golf my way tapes because he says the whole back swing he describes the whole thing in 3 minutes and the first 2 and a half minutes of that is just telling you all the things that most golfers typically do as mistakes and the last 30 seconds he says all I got to do is try to move my arms club and body together as one well that’s not very helpful either so when I started really trying to understand what they felt the only way to do that was to experience it I had to feel it for myself because they can’t describe what they feel and if you ever been around great players who have not really taken a mechanical Deep dive down the golf swing as most amateurs have they really have no idea what they’re doing in their swing and they don’t really want to know it’s almost a taboo subject when I worked with a lot of tour Pros back in the day a lot of them really didn’t want to take lessons they were so afraid that they would lose it because they’ve seen so many stories and known so many friends and I’ve known dozens of people who on the were on the tour like the old Young Guns you probably guys remember that when Golf Digest or Golf Magazine one of those things posted uh clips of or on the cover like these young hot tour players none of them are on the tour anymore because they all started working on their swings and got very mechanical with it and then they just all got lost and now they’re out playing in in mini tour events if they’re playing at all anymore so for amateur golfers they just kind of keep the struggle going because they’re not making their living doing this but they keep trying to figure out how do they how do the tour pros make it look so simple and with the goat code and as I started to feel it and experience it for myself I couldn’t believe how simple it really was and there were many misconceptions about the golf swing and really when it comes down to it it’s always about power the reason that your golf swing does or doesn’t work is what your power source is it’s really that simple in my mind because if you start trying to produce power the wrong way your swing will always fall apart you can have the most beautiful elegant back swing in the world or practice swing in the world and if you’re one of those guys who you know you feel like you’re like Tom’s or Sam sne in your in your practice swing and then you go to hit a ball and it just you look like an octopus falling out of a tree to quote David fairity the reason is that you don’t have the right power source and it’s typically moving inefficiently trying to use the body incorrectly using the hands incorrectly and what have you so what I really tried to Deep dive down first to really understand Tiger’s swing and really internalize it to feel it to know what it really feels like I had to First understand what his power source was and that was the hardest thing because a he doesn’t know what it is he doesn’t feel it he just does it because he’s been doing it as I showed you guys since he was five so nothing’s really changed there so if you’ve been doing the same thing for 40 something years it’s just normal for you there’s no other way for you to do it so it’s so hard for for tour Pros to describe what they’re doing to the average Joe in a way that they can take it and like oh if shoot if tiger just told me what am I supposed to feel in my swing I could do it and I saw many comments from you guys in the in the Forum about and if I could just step in Tiger’s body for five minutes and hit balls I would know what it’s supposed to feel like I wanted to do the exact same thing so that’s what I’ve been doing and to understand that power source as you guys saw was really counterintuitive and as I’ve explained many many times I think of the golf swing in terms of power it’s just an equation you’ve got leverage you’ve got rotation and you’ve got width and that’s really basically it those are the three primary sources of power now there’s no wrong or right way per se to put those together you can have a ton of Leverage in your swing which is the angles right if you have a lot of angle in your wrist coming down to impact really late you’ve got a lot of Leverage available to you you just got to get rid of it in time and then you wouldn’t need as much rotation and you wouldn’t need as much width because if you have a lot of Leverage your swing gets a little bit narrower and then if you have a lot of width you don’t need as much leverage these two counterbalance each other out so the equation is just kind of always how you choose to balance it but when I’m trying to match somebody’s movement patterns identically like I was with tiger swing I had to know exactly what his power sources were and what that equation what that algorithm look like and what I came to discover which was pretty obvious when you look at a swing now that it’s always been very very very wide without that much leverage in a swing as I showed in the one of the previous videos like right before impact with a driver Tiger’s got got nothing in his wrist there’s no leverage here at all so once I understood that once I understood that his equation was way more width way less leverage and you don’t need much rotation at all this equation started to balance out in my mind and once I began to feel that like so many of you have where you’re saying I’ve never felt this kind of effortless power in my swing I’ve got my swing back it feels natural it feels effortless that’s when I started to realize that having a really really tiger esque golf swing from the early 2000s was honestly in my opinion the simplest way to swing the golf club he’s truly just moving as I described in the the body movement video in the five-part series about the lateral move and the way his arms move in the back swing and then throwing from the top and lateral coming down it’s so shockingly simple and it’s truly just feel based as so many of you guys have discovered just in the past week now one thing that I’ve noticed is some of you in the comments have said well I still am struggling with something and I know what’s causing it because if your back swing is out of whack and what I mean by that nine times out of 10 when somebody says okay you know this all makes perfect sense to me but I’m not doing it right nine times out of 10 they’re taking the club back like this or like this opening the face pointing it to the sky the wrist is either cued at the top and or close to flat but when it’s generally CED then the the wrist can set a lot more so you’ve got a lot more leverage at the top of your swing but this also opens the face unless you got a really strong grip and so now from here as I go to throw that club face is still open because I haven’t started to flatten out this wrist and do any superation so from here if I throw it well the face is still open and when you throw it like this and you sense the face is open your body tends to not move laterally which you have to do as I showed you in that clip of Nicholas he felt that he could throw as hard as he could from the top as as long as he was moving to the left when people are going through and experiencing this throw for the first time and they they feel the face open well if they move left they would just hold the face even open even more so what they’re doing is throwing and hanging back and hitting it fat with an open face because they’re trying to give it time for the club head to catch up with their hands the trick to all this stuff is the back swing is so much simpler than that to to swing exactly the way tiger took the club back in 2000 is shockingly simple and what I’m going to talk about I’m going to show you in the member video is that it’s really just moving your hands and club and what initially look like but more importantly feel like a straight line what I see nine times out of 10 is that golfers start moving the club around and this will either you know get get the club Deep and open going back or and then as you get to the Top This wrist is going to be out of control what Tiger’s doing in this 2000 swing and what I was able to when I was able to get really close to matching it is really feeling like my hands move straight back the club head moves straight back and that continues all the way to the top with a flat left wrist and once you have that there’s really very little that you can do because from here if once you’re in this position it’s a lateral shift while you’re throwing and that’s the whole golf swing so that’s what I’m going to show you in this in this premium video for members is how to get this right how to get this feeling of the club moving back in a straight line the hands moving back in a straight line as you can see in Tiger swing you just draw little Tunnels for the the hands to travel on and the club to travel on and once you understand what that’s really supposed to feel like then you won’t have all this crazy stuff you’ll be able to shift back to the left you won’t have the face wide open at the top because you’re going to be moving less that’s the whole key so in this next video I’ll put a link down in the the comments down below it’ll help you fully understand that the back swing if you’ve got the back swing right it’s lateral straight with the hands vertical this is it from here all I have to do is throw while shifting laterally and the whole golf swing’s done that is how simple Tiger’s 2000 swing really is so click the link down below or click to the next video and I’m going to show you just how to simple the back swing is and if you’re struggling with hitting it fat or having the face open make sure you watch this video cuz you’re going to finally understand what it’s like to have a perfect simple back swing
