If You Learn This You’ll Play The Best Golf Of Your Life This Week

the thinning and the kind of not compressing the irons or hitting them as solid and far as you could certainly relative to your speed is a lot of when you’re coming through the ball this arc is narrowing. Mhm. And arc narrowing you can look at a couple ways but mainly what I’m looking at is like the distance between the butt of the club and me. So when I come down and through, if the butt of the club’s getting closer to my body via the arms bending andor my body going forward, this would be like not someone who compresses it. Well, right. Right. I want to be to be able to compress it, have the arc widening or lengthening, which would be the butt of the club getting farther from my body, which is twofold. Part of that is getting the arms away, and part of that’s getting the body away. Mhm. So for you some of the tendency would be arms bent, chest forward. We want arms away, chest up this way. In fact, to be able to get these arms away really well, often times we almost need to lead right with this. Now, we might talk some lower body, right? Pushing out of the ground, but the more I’m tossing an object away from me, the more I need to have my body back, my arms away. Now, I’m not saying we’re not standing up. I’m still keeping my angulation to the ground. Often times I’ll shove someone and say, “Well, wait a minute.” Right? I thought you’re supposed to stay down. I’m still staying down from down the line angle. I’m keeping my body’s inclination, but I’m keeping my head back over the ball. My chest is up, but my shoulders down. Mhm. How do we extend without standing up? Shoulder down, chest up. Right. Not this way. Right. Here. So, we’ve got to learn how to push the butt of the club away and extend our body a little bit better. Obviously, when I come through, you can see if I bend my arms, that would get the club on top of my fin straighten to get them down, right? All right, guys. I want to talk to you today about the Swing Coach app. Now, I haven’t been this excited about something new in the golf coaching industry in probably as long as I can remember. This is an AI powered golf coach designed by the Swing Coach team and the guys from AMG that we’ve been testing now for quite a while that we’re ready to have you get into and use to improve your golf game. Well, with the Swing Coach app, you literally just take out your phone, set it 8 ft behind you, start swinging, and here’s what it does. Club at delivery shallow by three. Instantly tells you, just like I would, here’s what you need to work on in your swing. here are your main priorities. It’s like taking your coach home with you, which is me, and watching you hit every single swing. And really, what you’re getting with this also is next level video feedback. I mean, check this out on the screen here. Not only do you get the audio feedback after you’re hitting hands at top forward by one. It also gives you images that are color-coded on the screen that show you exactly what your issues are in each area of the swing. It’s something that’s going to maximize your practice time and make you get better so much faster because you have instant feedback on every single swing you make. If you want to check out the Swing Coach app, again, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You can try it absolutely for free. Why would you not try it? It’s very, very inexpensive to use. It’s going to get you maximum results for your practice time. We’re going to put a link in the description down below. Go click that. Go take advantage. is let’s improve your golf game. Now, without moving anything, just in terms of your chest, get try and get your chest as close to the ground as you can. Just push your chest down. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Now, what happened automatically as a byproduct of your chest going down. What do your arms do? Uh, they bent. They bent. Yeah, they bent. And that same thing is going to be true when you go in swing. Mhm. Now, if you take your setup again, now go ahead and keep your posture here, but go ahead and bend your arms. Like, bend your arms up like this. Now, if you kept tall like this as you go, no way you’d hit the ball from there, right? So, even if you were to stay tall, the only way to get down to the ball would be to straighten your arms. Okay, you with me on that? Yep. So, the more you keep your body down, the more the arms fold as a byproduct, right? The more you let your body extend, right, the more the arms have to straighten to get to the ball. Okay? And with no back swing, let’s go from here to about arms parallel with the extension. Now, there’s two cues. And if you’re struggling with this, these are the two cues you want to have to start with. Number one is you want to push the butt of the club as far away from your body as possible without your head going forward. You want to push the butt of the club as far away from you as possible without your head going forward. Okay. So, from a hands perspective and butt of the club, we’re going to feel like we get this as wide as possible. That’d be kind of defined by like how far is this from our torso. All of your weights on your left foot. Mhm. Do you feel all of it on your left foot? Good. So, your hips are forward. Okay. But your head is back. All right. You with me on that? Cuz in the beginning, that first one you did, you had weight back, too. I’m glad you did that. So, we’re not hips and head back. Hips are forward. You got it. Now, if I were to pull this away from you and really extend it, you have to feel like you almost have your chest even further back to resist that. Right. If you let this let your chest come towards me, I would win this. Right. Right. Same thing’s happening when we’re swinging. We’re trying to throw that away and resist. Pull your chest back. There you go. Hips forward. Feel that? Yeah. Yeah. Like a little reverse C extension move. Yeah. So, if you’re struggling with the arms getting bent through the hit, you have to make sure you extend your body enough to allow them to straighten. And almost certainly, are there a few good players who bend their arm and hit it good? There are. Not a lot. Right. Most players who bend on the way through shoot like a hundred, right? And you got a couple Victor Havlins. Sure. And anyone who bends their arms has a ton of side bend. Very hard to do. Much easier to extend and and straighten. Yeah. So, no back swing. Your job is to take the butt of the club, push it away. All the weight’s going to go on your left foot, but your chest feels up. You got it. Now, from here, you want to have the club basically down the middle of your feet. Mhm. So, we don’t need it way to the right. We don’t need it so far left. Okay. Kind of right down your toe line. And a really nice spot to live for us with like a baby draw would be to get the toe right on top of the heel. Okay, take your setup again. Push yourself into the follow through and then explain to me those some of these checkpoints we want. So butt of the club pushed away. Good. What are we looking for here? Toe just over the heel. Where’s the club? Uh over my my feet line. Yeah, kind of middle of the foot line. Yeah. Hips and weight are forward. Mhm. Head and chest are back. Good. One more. Push the butt of the club away. Weights forward, head stays back. Now, that looks like you know what you’re doing. Yeah. Yeah. So, level one when you guys are practicing this is like you go to the gym and you got to learn technique with just the bar, no weight, right? No back swing. So, can I just go from here to there? Once we get that, we’ll add a little bit of swing length, kind of hip high, a little bit longer, a little keep putting more weight on the bar, right? So, when you guys are watching this, think about it this way, too. the butt of the club relative to your body at setup gives you a certain distance. When I swing through the ball, I don’t want you to feel like it’s that same distance that you started with. I want you to feel like it’s farther away. Mhm. So, let’s just make up a number and say when we’re doing this, this butt of the club is one foot. I’m making this up. Don’t don’t comment about this. It’s one foot away from my stomach. When I get through the ball, that same one foot I want to feel like is two feet. That’s not good math. I’m making those numbers up, but you like double the amount. You with me on that? Really pushing that away. Let’s do that one more time. So, as soon as we can demonstrate that well with no back swing, we’ll start to put a little bit of a back swing in. So, I think that was pretty darn good. So, for us to do a little bit of a back swing now, we take it back to about hip high. This is like level one. Mhm. Now, from here, we’re going to take the club head. We’re going to clip the ground. So, and make sure we clip it every time. Because if you’re doing thin, what are you not doing? Clipping the ground. You got it. So, we got to make sure that clips the ground. Push this away. My hips and weight are always forward, never back, but my head is back from extension. Good. So, let’s do two or three reps like that. Slowly back to about hip high. Make sure you clip the mat every time if you hit thin shots. Back to about hip high. Clip the mat. Couldn’t do it better. Now, let’s take this a step further. Um, let’s go from, let’s say, hip high to like arms parallel. Halfway back. So, let’s do one together. Halfway back to about arms parallel to the ground. Good. Slowly come down. We would clip the mat. Extend all the way through. Beautiful. So for these two, let’s focus 100% on the through swing. Okay. Nothing set up, nothing back swing. Okay. The goal is to thud the mat and hold your finish whether you hit the best shot or worse shot. Okay. Thud the mat and hold the finish. We’re trying to fix the fins with two things. The mechanical thing and also some intention right on the club interacting with the turf. Half swing length. Carlos, same speed you just did. We’re going to thud the mat and we’re going to fully extend into the finish. Okay. How was that contact compared to normal? Is you could feel the compression and uh it just felt like the ball’s driving much more solid. Right now that was solid mechanically cuz we went from a short arc narrow it club closer to us to a longer arc. And we thought about the club interacting with the turf. Right. Right. Those two things that looks a lot better. Mhm. And that looks like how it’s supposed to look. So if we pulled up like a good ball striker, they would do this on every every swing. They’re not thinking about it. They do it automatically. But if we don’t do it automatically, we have to think about it, right? But like that’s that’s not exaggerated at all. That’s where we should be. Mhm. Would you agree with that? Yes. That’s awesome. Very good job. What you want to look for when you’re practicing, go ahead, Carlos. You want to push the butt of the club away. Did I say that yet? You want to extend, which is your hips are forward. So when you come through and do this, and we say extension, go ahead and do that. Hold the finish. The extension is the chest shirt buttons pointed up towards the sky. You’re good there. The head stays over the ball, but where are his hips pointed? His hips are pointed towards the target and they’re over the ankle. They’re forward. In fact, if you drew a line up from the golf ball, all of your hips should finish forward of the golf ball. That’s so good. I’m going to say it again. All of your hips should finish forward of the golf ball with your head back over it. That’s your body in extension to be able to push that away. Good job holding that. It’s like a little yoga pose. Okay, good job. So, no back swing into the follow through. So, again, when you’re practicing this for extension, it might seem a little boring, but just do two or three reps. No back swing. If you need to put a put an object behind you and go right into the follow through, hips forward, extended, pushed away, and let’s do one where we face Mary as if you’re going to hit a ball towards Mary. Okay? So, if we’re looking at it from the target view, let’s do the same thing. So, we’re pushing the butt of the club away, hips and weight are forward, body’s extended. So from here, right, just a very neutral place to be is the arms and club basically right down the middle of the foot. That’s like a pretty nice neutral place to live. And club face where it’s basically toe on top of the heel. Now, if you were like someone who maybe hits big pulls and fades, you might feel like it goes out to the right a little. If you’re someone who hits big, let’s say, pushes and hooks, you might feel like it goes more left. But basically, middle of the foot’s a nice nice territory to lift. So little still same half, one rehearsal, one hit. Okay. Half swing length and extending to push the butt of the club away. That’s so good right there, man. Very good. With a ball when you’re ready. Half swing length. Push the butt of the club away. Thud the mat. Yes. Let’s go inside the ball. No baller for a second. We’re going to refresh our back swing feels. All right, guys. Quick pause. You’re going to hear a little bit about Carlos’s back swing. We actually filmed a back swing video with him right before this. That’s what I’m referencing here. If you do want us to post that video next, if you’re interested in seeing that, leave me a comment down below that says post next video or something like that. Enjoy the rest of the video. Okay, so we’ll do two together and you can just go back to about arms parallel for this first one. We’re feeling the right hip. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Again, right hip towards the target. Awesome. Now, let’s do that all the way to the top with the depth. So, right hip turn, arms deeper. Yes. One more time. Right hip turn, arms deeper. Yes. Now, let’s do that same thing, Carlos. Let’s go right hip turn, arms deeper, and take that into the finish. Okay. Okay. Right hip turn, arms deeper into finish. A little more than I’d like to do at one time, but let’s see if we can put it together. Right hip turn, arms deeper. Yeah, dude. Really nice. Again, right hip, turn, arms deeper. Okay, let’s go to the ball, dude. Excellent job. And the big thing there is the contact too, right? So like when we started and you’re hitting shots and you’re doing the thinning, it’s hard not to thin a ball when your arms are bending that much, right? The only way to get away with that, the only way to get away with this is to have so much side bend with your body to make up the distance. So I say that to say when you go play, if you go play tomorrow and you start thinning it, you got to go thin equals arms bent. I I fix it with the arm straight immediately. So if you go thin it for like a whole round, I’d be like that’s probably a mental mistake, right? You didn’t make any adjustments. Yeah. If you thin in the first two holes because you go back to old habits, whatever. That’s fine. But like adjust right away. Okay. Right now, as the clubs get longer and we make faster swings, it’s harder and harder to do any swing move. Would you agree? Yes. We’re coming back in. It’s a longer club. So if anything, it might take a shot or two and you have to feel more of the thing. Like more exaggeration, the same stuff. Okay. Okay. So, we’ve got the right hip and the depth on the way back and then the extension on the way through. I mean, that was pretty solid right there, dude. Yeah. [Laughter] Chipping putt. Yes. With a ball. Oh, dude, that is so good. That looked great. That sounded great. Sounded good. Oh my goodness. Really good job. Look at that at the top, dude. Yeah. I mean, that’s just that type of back swing is capable of playing any level of golf you want. Not a lot of guys shooting 90 from there. You got to make that our normal because look at where you come down then. It’s right on point. Mhm. There’s no shifting that needs to get done. It’s just absolute money, dude.
