Scott starts the down swing with a really fast rotation of his shoulders and his hips. So, as he comes down here from P4, which is the top of the back swing, before his arms have even moved in relation to his spine, you can see his knees and his hips are starting to change orientation. His hands are still here behind his ear and haven’t even moved down yet. And you can see just how much his lower body has moved to try and help bring this club back down. So he is pure rotation through and through. As we see, the more we rotate, the more forward and outward his arms are going to go. And this prevents him from being able to get the club down from the inside. And then at this point, if he doesn’t let his hands go and try to throw this club to the left, he’s out so far outside his arc, he’s going to shank it.

Last week, I did a giveaway for a free online golf lesson. Scott here was our lucky winner for that. His YouTube name is Keebler’s Cookies. We’re going to dive in and take a look at his golf swing before as well as the drills that I gave him and the after. Scott struggles with a big over-the-top pull slice. So, what we’re trying to do is we’re trying to help him straighten that out, hit a little bit straighter of a shot, possibly even get him to a draw. Hopefully, he’ll also be able to pick up a lot of distance. Scott’s a great athlete. He played college football, played basketball and baseball and all the sports growing up. Has a lot of club head speed, but he can’t control his golf ball where he can actually use his speed effectively to shoot good scores. So, that’s what we’re going to try to do with him. I hope you guys enjoy. Welcome, Keeblers Cookies. This is Scott. He’s the winner of our free online lesson giveaway. We’re going to analyze his golf swing a little bit and try to figure out why he fights a big pull slice. When I say pull, that means he starts the ball left, he slices it, which means the ball’s curving left to right for a right-hander. So, he plays with a very strong grip. the face gets closed to his target relatively easy, which is his saving grace, but his path gets further left than his club face. So, that’s kind of what we’re going to talk about here. So, the reason that we see the blue line on the ground is different on Scott versus on Grant here is because the camera angle is slightly off. We call this parallel. I’ve had to adjust my diagonal elbow plane line here to be just inside and at a slightly more vertical angle than what we see out of Grants simply because of the angle of his camera. So, I’ve tried to estimate this and do my best, but we’re going to really see just how much his path is moving over the top. First off, when I look at this, I’m looking at really what his down swing path is doing. So, we’re going to take Scott all the way to the top. Takes the club back. Overall, his arm structure here is not too bad, but we’re going to see the arms continue to fold and continue to bend. Gets very much like John daily at the top of his back swing. We’re going to take Grant to the top right about there. First things first, where the club face is. So, we can see Scott has a very closed face here to his club shaft. Um, if his club face was pointed over here to the right, that would be more of an open face. As we can see, it’s pointed almost 90° in the air. So, it’s actually very closed to his club shaft, which in my brain would say huge hook. That’s not the case with Scott. So, we have to look at other pieces. Now, the other thing that it looks to me is the position of his right elbow. Scott gets his right elbow up above his shoulder. So, his arm structures broken down and he’s tried to lift and create a lot of length for speed and power. But the other thing I look at here is not having three-dimensional measurement of exactly how much that elbow is bent. His elbow here is extremely flexed and causes both arms to kind of flex and move. He can’t keep it wide enough. So, he generates speed by getting the club longer and making the arc as long as humanly possible so he has time to kind of accelerate it and hopefully he can make contact with it. Those are just observations. I wouldn’t say they’re necessarily causing a slice. Here’s what is causing his slice. So, as he comes down, Scott starts the down swing with a really fast rotation of his shoulders and his hips. So, as he comes down here from P4, which is the top of the back swing, before his arms have even moved in relation to his spine, you can see his knees and his hips are starting to change orientation. His hands are still here behind his ear and haven’t even moved down yet. And you can see just how much his lower body has moved to try and help bring this club back down. So, he is pure rotation through and through. As we see, the more we rotate, the more forward and outward his arms are going to go. And this prevents him from being able to get the club down from the inside. And then at this point, if he doesn’t let his hands go and try to throw this club to the left, he’s out so far outside his arc, he’s going to shank it. Okay? So, we have to get him. This is a very key position here that I’m going to look at is how the club shaft when he gets to P5, when his lead arm is parallel to the ground, his is coming down through his neck. where when we watch Grant, his lower body is going to move, but it’s moving at a much slower rate in regards to his hands. So, he gets here to position five, and you can see how the club shaft is almost on that elbow plane, but it goes right through the middle of his right bicep. And I can still see the front of his left knee, which means his hips and his knees are not spinning open. and they’re staying closed where he can get the club to drop down behind him along with his hands. I can’t see the front of Scott’s knee. I can actually start to see the back of his knee in here a little bit. And what that’s going to do is it’s going to move his path out to in there’s no way for him to try to drop this club down behind him without leaving the face wide open and hitting big old slices. As we continue this down swing all the way to impact, Scott has spun open. His arms are out here. He’s extending the body, trying to slow his turns down so that he can try to time the shot. Fortunately, Scott’s an athlete. He played college football, played basketball growing up. He switch hit baseball. He took up golf later in life. He’s coordinated and can figure out a way to sometimes get this club on the golf ball and play decent golf. But he does have big misses, big yank pulls to the left, and balls that slice too much that kill him of distance. And he’s trying to straighten it out a little bit. So, let’s pull Grant down. Grant slowly opens his turns. Arms continue to move down and along his elbow plane line. We can see his club is behind his hands at P6. And then he gets the impact in a very good position. The things that we look at with Scott is we have to teach him how to delay the opening of his turns and get the club to come down behind him. So basically, I’m feeling like my left arm is dropping down my chest as I stay closed to the target. That does a couple of things for me. It helps my rhythm. It keeps me very patient off the top of the back swing. And also, it helps me keep a little bit of lag, a little bit of angle as I come down into the ball. One of my faults is when I get a little bit quick and I unwind too early. And when that happens, I have to hit the brakes essentially and wait for the club to fall into the hitting zone and hence I have to time impact so much more and I end up actually losing the phase through impact. But when I make this move, I really wait for it. Now, I put myself in a position where I have to turn very aggressively through impact. So, having listened to Justin Rose, this is what we’re going to do is we have to teach you how to stay closed to the target. Now, what I also want you to do here is if we draw a line from the center of his hips straight down, you can see how the center of his hips are actually more towards his lead ankle than it is his trail ankle. So, as he stays closed, he’s not just lowering his arms. He is still moving towards his target with his mass as his arms come down. So, it’s a two-way move. You have to move left. The arms have to come down while staying closed longer or less rotation from the top down. I’m going to attach a drill to this that I’ve actually got a YouTube video for so that you can see it. This is Bryson’s favorite drill. I referenced Justin Rose in this. It’s really, really, really, really good. Now, the other thing that I would tell you to use is if your indoor center has any alignment aids like the YOLF plates that set at an angle. I would tell you to actually set one up at about 55 or 60° behind you and just learn to stay underneath it coming down without hitting it. Uh, if you’re outside on a driving range, you can use an alignment stick placed behind you at an angle. I actually move it about a club length behind the golf ball straight back and I move it about six or seven inches outside and I put it at a 60° angle like this. And in the down swing, I would tell you to drop the hands and the club underneath it as you move left. And you have to do this slowly to start. This isn’t something you’re just going to be able to swing full out at. I wouldn’t tell you to go try to play golf this way. If you were to go play golf right now, I’d tell you to just go play golf. But if you’re gonna work on it and you want to make this swing for change for the long term, you’re gonna have to commit to it and do a lot of slow motion practice drills when you practice. That doesn’t mean when you warm up to go play golf. That means when you go to the simulator, if you’re just hitting balls on the practice range like I see you doing here, you need to be doing more drills that are slow motionbased so that you can do it properly. All right. So, some before and after here after we gave Scott his drills to try and help him get his path more inside out and get his arm structure. But for a first go around, this is good. The one on his left, his swing direction was around 10° to the left and his path was seven or eight degrees out to in. The one on the right, his swing direction is actually one degree left and his path is, I think, two degrees left. So, we were able to shrink it by just giving him the Justin Rose drill and teaching him how to make it straighter and less over the top by keeping his turns closed longer. So, here’s his structure at the top. Let’s take him to the top. So, his arm structure is a little bit better. You can see how that elbow is more down, right? I can’t see the club out here behind his shoulder, but this position is a million times better. You notice the grip end of the club is much closer to his elbow plane line than what we see in his before swing. As he swings down over the top, you can see this move, this is a big baseball move for him that he’s done since he was a kid, but even this position is already a million times better. Now, it still needs to go further, but he is so much better at this position, and he’s going to hit the ball a lot straighter with a lot less left to right curve as he comes down even more. Let’s go to this position here. That’s in a much better position. This followth through is going to actually come out. This is one thing I look at for people who hit draws is I like that this one’s going to come out really low and left. You can see where his exit is. So, his exit’s coming out higher, which means he’s swinging straighter or into out longer. So, this explains why he was able to take his swing direction from double digits left to two degrees to the left, which means if he controls the club face, which he’s usually pretty good at doing, he’s going to shrink the amount of curve that he has. And in doing so, he’s going to hit the ball a lot straighter. Fades always spin it more. Draws typically spin it less, which is one of the reasons why they go further. This is a very good change from just learning how to look at your golf swing on camera, understand the pieces needed to make the change, and then this is in one range session. He was able to make this change just by understanding what it is he needs to work on. He’s going to hit the golf ball a lot better and have a lot more fun playing golf. Hopefully, we’ll get another lesson in with him here in a few weeks as he continues to practice. We’ll get some arm structure uh exercise in with that drill that I attached.
