Okay everybody’s starting to run in here so we’ll get started so there are some evil words out there for golfers for a hundred years all right um and maybe the most evil is the cast all right this move all right everybody hates that nobody wants to do

It and it’s turned into aund years of holding lag and that helped pretty much nobody so I have a video on this some of you may have seen it some may some of you may not have if you’re interested um it’s 40% off with the code NT live all

Caps and but that’s what the beginning of the discussion is going to be is I’m going to talk about how the wrists are supposed to move in the swing and then I’m going to take a bunch of questions on what I said or on anything really so let’s familiarize

Ourselves with a couple of people think fancy technical terms they’re not they’re just shorthand for movements so if we’re in a neutral position here that’s radial deviation the cast this is um excuse me I’ve lost my mind see already this is rad this is nner deviation the cast don’t even know

The words I’m trying to explain them right and then this is radial deviation known as Hing the vertical hinge in the wrist okay then on the lead wrist this is my left hand I know the camera’s backwards this is flexion this is extension so when I talk about allner

Deviation radial deviation flexion and extension we know what I’m talking about so um casting early allner deviation unloading the Angles and here’s where the misunderstanding lies every good player does it without exception and the difference between what hackers do and even decent golfers do and what the pros do is is

Everybody thinks the pros hold the angle longer and that’s not really the case now when you look at it in two dimensions and even when you look at it in wrist graphs it looks like yes the pros are holding this angle longer but in reality what’s actually happening

Is is they are owner deviating in a different direction that is the important part and yes a lot of amateurs will do it early but it’s mostly in the wrong direction and mostly the result of poor sequencing of other movements so let’s let’s turn the camera around and

Let’s let’s let’s talk about some of this okay so when you’re looking at bad golfers you see this that okay and from this angle it looks like that oh you’re casting you got to hold the leg this is a disaster because for a number of different reasons all right but

But if you look at and you isolate wrist movements from the body shifting and rotating Watch What Happens as a net result of separating these two movements so if I go up to the top and I do this ugly move that nobody wants while the body is Shifting and rotating look how I

Get to impact kind of where we want all right so let’s work backwards here all right and you’re going to understand why these movements are so important so we know we watch Elite golfers they’re like this at impact they have no extension in the wrist their

Wrist is either flat or a little bit flexed at impact compression ball flight distance all the stuff we want awesome let’s work backwards when it was measured uh eight five8 10 years ago I don’t remember it was seen that from here to he everybody on the tour at the time but

One is moving like this what people think of as a flip but when you watch Dustin Johnson all of them they’re like this over here so this angle is being released too so if if we’re releasing this angle from here to here and we’re still like this at

Impact we better have some of this angle at this position right here like you can’t be like this you got no chance you need to be like this so you can release the angle and still have shling something else they’ve discovered if you’re in this position

If you can get the club head behind your hands there’s more Club head speed to be generated okay so if we know the left wrist is in this position at shaft parallel and the club is behind the hands somebody tell me how you can rotate and hold this angle and get to that

Position there are a lot of lot of ways to swing a golf club but the easiest way to get to that position while you’re rotating is to slowly throw that angle away okay so you don’t want to hold that angle if you’re throwing that angle away you’re either well there’s many

Reasons why but you’re either going that way in the wrong direction or you’re leaving your arms behind and the physics of the club are making it go like this if your body is Shifting and rotating and your arms and hands are linked up to rotation of your body correctly good players are

Absolutely unloading that angle to get to this position so they can get into impact correctly so there’s a big misunderstanding holding the angle is not the answer answer finding the reason why you’re throwing it away early is the answer so these wide to narrow drills okay so watch what happens to this wrist

When I go wide to narrow I’ve got extension in the left wrist shaft is going to be pitched out club face is going to be open to all of the variables we want it fairly squared to disaster take it back hold the leg shallow it this way anybody thinks

This is going to end well it’s not okay so if all you understand is that this movement is happening we just don’t see it visually or even on a wrist graph happening because there are forces going in the other direction but if you have the intent to go like

This it encourages your body to go like this in order to get to that position so the bad move is throwing it this way the good move is throwing it that way because getting it that way by dropping the right shoulder look at that club face terrible but if you’re rotating and shifting

Correctly look at how unloading that angle the right way gets you in this perfect delivery position where the left wrist is a little flexed and the club head is behind your hands so I call it casting to 8:00 you guys are at 6 targets to 12 cast to eight as you’re

Rotating look where I get to okay so do you need to activ do that I don’t know maybe you do it correctly already and you don’t need to the point of the discussion is is the active holding of the angle or burying this angle just get

You in all sorts of trouble okay so I say this a lot this lag angle left arm shaft lag angle pretty meaningless because look that doesn’t look like I have that much lag that looks like I have all sorts of lag I didn’t change my wrist angles I

Just changed the pitch of the shaft the important lag angle is it shaft parallel to the ground you want the club head lagging the hands you don’t want the club head outside the hands and watch what happens when you go wide to narrow look where the club’s going to

Go show me how to go I can’t even do it in slow motion okay so we don’t want to throw that angle away this way we want to throw it that way while everything else is sequencing properly so hopefully this sheds a little light on a subject that I think has been

Misinterpreted for quite a while um a lot of people have benefited from this is so uh if you want to see that uh in more detail get the video um it has a lot of uh details and drills that show you exactly why this works for

A lot of people and why it’s better than the holding angles uh stuff so you know spoke a little piece about that there’s a video to be had um we can talk about some other stuff anybody uh have any pressing questions okay Tad 67 on the back

Swing I have to turn my left wrist quite a bit to get flat is that correct the face is very closed seems to be part of one of the NTC drills where the face is quite closed good question okay so let’s discuss that so open closed there’s a lot of debate

On what that really means it’s all about the reference point people will say if the club is pointed to the sky it’s closed well if you have a flat back swing that’s not closed okay upright back swing that club had the same alignment to my left arm as

It did when I was over here one pointed to the sky one was towed down so I like to think of as square is it’s just a reference point it’s it’s actually fairly meaningless but it’s a reference point to talk about what happens next but I like to look at the

Left arm that club face is square to the left arm that’s closed to the left arm that’s open to the left arm okay now if you’re fairly Square to the left arm and you’re hinging the wrist correctly and the club looks like this grip might be

Too too strong okay um especially if we can see some of the issues that you’re having after that but there’s another possible variable is if you go like this and don’t have enough vertical wrist hinge see no vertical wrist hinge that club is very shut but if I set the vertical

Hinge now that club is pretty Square so a lot of people think they have a shut Club face because they haven’t vertical hinged enough here’s the hard part is you want a proper balance you want some of this movement in the wrist you want some of that

Movement in the wrist and then you want a grip that matches the way the rest of your body moves on the back swing and down swing so you know the simple answer is you know you can get some of these things is kind of right but generally go

Talk to someone who knows what they’re doing and make sure that your alignments don’t have to be perfect but not too far off you want your alignments to be in a range of acceptability so you don’t have to work so hard to get to impact so that’s why

The people that say well you know you don’t hit it with the back swing the back swing doesn’t matter look at Ray Floyd look at Jim furck look at Matt wolf well yeah okay they made it work that way but they have to work really hard to

Get to impact correctly so you know if you make a back swing like this your odds of getting back to impact correctly are donut most of the time so getting in what I like to call a neutral position at the top generally makes golf easier and at

The top to be neutral a grip that works for you then a little bit of this and a little bit of that hopefully that answered a lot of questions not just yours all right let’s see what else we got here can you do a slower swing with the

Correct sequence so we can see it excellent from odad 19 okay so I’m going to do it from both angles so I’m not going to get into weight shifts and rotation and whatnot this is about wrist movements so I’m G to try and just talk about that because

It’ll take me three hours to do the whole thing but generally speaking you like to see you know people say one piece takeaway the problem with the one piece takeaway is people tend to get to this position and then all bets are off most good players the club head moves first

And the hips move last so when you get to left arm parallel you want the left arm in the shaft especially with an iron to be pretty close to 90 Dees um a little bit less than 90 degrees with drivers F you just don’t see too many good players

Doing this you can find them but the outliers usually prove the rule which is with an iron you’ll see most good players in this position and here’s why if I decid that I got a seven iron in my hands here 180 185 I want to hit this

Seven iron 120 yards low under the trees if I’m here I can hit the ball if I’m here good luck so you know learning to get your wrists hinged in sequence with your body so it’s here and then at the top a little bit of rotating this way to

Get a neutral left wrist because you don’t want this so now it’s hinge set that way throw this way release okay Auntie that’s a flip well yeah when I’m demonstrating in slow motion it’s a flip throw to eight release but if I’m doing that while all

Of this is moving and shifting it turns into that so it’s set throw throw all righty good question so far should you pair NTC with some left side transition thought left shoulder off the chin arms off the chest conversely is leading with the right elbow compatible with throwing away the angle from 80

Woman ADT woman yes absolutely um these things so let’s back up for a second let’s back up for a second golfers have problems in their sequencing because there’s one Link in the chain or two links in the chain that are broken okay so you can’t just say

Fix the chain all right you have to go in where the first broken link is and rectify that so um lead with the right elbow is not lit you know is not literal you’re not trying to get to here you’re just trying to avoid you know left arm

Off the chest shoulder off the chin these are all movements that get your arm sequence to your body while you’re unloading the angle well so some people don’t unload the angle correctly they need to do that some people don’t sequence their arms correctly they need to do that some people do both correctly

And need to learn to rotate their body and shift their body better they need to do that so to answer your question your job as a golfer is to find good information where you can whether it’s in this Instagram live show or from you know a local Pro that knows what he’s

Doing and learn where you’re going wrong and integrate one new movement in your swing if you try to do shift to the left at the end of the back swing from Power shift and get your left arm off of your chest and your left shoulder off of your

Chin from broom force and cast the club to 8:00 from no turn cast and you’re trying to do all those things at once you’re going to fail miserably okay you got to make one one make the others work but but if you know where you’re going

Wrong in one of these you can make all of them work just with one idea with NTC can you run into issues with the intent of Casp being toward 9:00 I yeah I mean if you’re trying to cast all the way toward nine behind you you might get in a dropping your right

Shoulder too much but these are all reference points these are all fields two discussions there is Aller deviation in the swing okay that’s a fact okay now what feel what ideas can we throw into our swings that will make us do that correctly at the right time for you it

Might be nine for somebody else it might be seven someone may think 10 you know cuz they’re really coming ey what you feel doesn’t matter as long as you know what you’re trying to accomplish in the larger picture in your swing and you’re throwing one feel at it to make things line

Up all right can you give a rightand feel for cast a r Chang 72 that’s a great question okay so so when you’re up at the Top If you just put the club in your right hand I can’t tell you what the feel is specifically but here’s what I can tell

You if you go up to the top and as you’re turning your body you throw the club in that direction you will get the feel oh this is what I got to feel might not even be a wrist motion it might be unloading the right elbow so you get to the

Top as you’re turning go toward eight look at this unloaded I got more Bend in my right wrist because I’m going this way my palm is pointed that way any of those fields can work okay it’s about do the correct movement slowly and what do you feel okay good questions

Okay can I start trying this out on like 50 60 yard pitches I won’t even read the rest of the question because it’s already a good question yes that’s how you have to start um I make these analogies all the time uh if you have a track Sprinter 100 meters usane bolt okay

Greatest track Sprinter of the last 15 20 years maybe ever um his coach says you know what you saying you you’ve slowed down a little the last couple of weeks because excuse me your strides gotten too long you got those big long legs stride has gotten too long you’re slowing down you

Need to shorten up your stride four inches okay is he going to get in the starting blocks and Run 100 yard dash as fast as he can trying to shorten his swing 4 Ines or is he going to leisurely jog around the track for hours and hours

And hours testing different feels on how to get that stride shortened okay the answer is obviously B same with a weightlifter um you know a weightlifter can bench press 300 lbs let’s say and the his trainer says well you can bench press 400 pounds you’re strong enough

But your wrists are on the the bar poorly and when you push you’re putting too much pressure on your wrists and you’re not able to use all of the force necessary is that guy going to practice on 300 lbs as Max or is he going to grab

The bar and put a little bit of weight maybe 100 15 lbs and test different wrist angles on the bar to see which one he’s able to create the most Force the answer is obviously B again yet you go to a driving range and everybody is working on their swing by Smashing

Driver for 3 hours doesn’t work you need to learn how to make active changes in your swing on little shots get the movements down and gradually add length to the swing and add speed to the swing until you can create those new movements with a driver but smashing driver for an

Hour other than releasing some excess frustration is pretty much going to ingrain the swing that you have right now because your current swing is how your body perceives speed and power is created so you know yes 50 60 yard shots great way to learn how to move your wrist

Correctly okay can you please explain what Ground Forces this is unrelated but it’s a good question so I’m going to answer it anyway uh can you please explain what ground for forces we are witnessing when long drivers and tour professionals clear their hips and appear to almost be jumping left okay this

Is this is a very complicated question but there’s an easy answer okay so the the direction of the vertical Force Vector is this way if I’m hitting the ball that way it’s up and back okay so when they push up and back it makes that left hip leave the ground and go

Over there because if I’m going this way the left foot’s not going to go that way but if I’m pushing up and back that’s the force I’m putting on the ground and why their foots Fe go that way now if you get there and say oh that’s how I

Hit it far I’ll just jump and pull my foot over here that’s a disaster this is all in uh in uh Power shift very deep detailed one of my best videos I think um it’s called you ground reaction force so in simple physics what’s a reaction

It’s an equal and opposite Force to an action so if the ground reaction force is this way you have to push this way to get it which is why you go to the right you go down and to the left and then you push

Up and back as a reaction if you try to shift your weight into the right side and try to push up and back and go like this I think you can see it’s a disaster so you can’t do this move on purpose it’s a reaction to shifting and rotating

And sequencing correctly and like I said Shameless plug all of the details of that are in my video Powers shift Shameless plugs that’s what this is about okay I got hack motion cast and back swing okay so if I’m reading this correctly you owner deviate in the back

Swing there’s a problem with that it may work for you um um you know I I don’t want to be sned but I hear this works for me all of the time all day every day and um the last time this works for me actually worked for them um the next

Time that happens it’ll be the first time because here’s the problem most Club head speed um comes from proper loading and unloading of your wrists and and if you’re Aller deviating in the back swing you’re not loading them so you can’t unload them correctly you may be now I’m

Not going to deny that you can hit the ball flush and solid and straight doing that but if you’re Aller deviating in the back swing you are way below your ceiling on how much Club head speed and distance uh you can you can have so that’s the negative of that but I’m not

Saying you can’t hit the ball that way cuz you can it’s just not the most efficient way to do it um have have struggled with understanding the release in the golf swing I’ve recently realized that cast B is the release um cast a is part of the release

Too but yes cast B is part of the release so let’s here let’s let’s look at this okay so we know that the overwhelming majority of tour players are going like this and people are saying okay Monty that’s a flip and you’re gonna hook the ball watch the club face so if I’m

Here okay watch the club face there’s no rotation on the club face if you’re holding that angle you’re going to get an open Club face and then you have to go like that and that’s where the blocks and hooks come from but if you’re allowing I like to say you

Need to allow this movement to happen Okay because when the Hands slow down and the club speeds up that’s the movement that happens if you are constantly accelerating the hands I’m going to get an open Club face coming into impact Club face that’s too open coming into impact

So sometimes you have to actively do what’ll happen on what will happen automatically and and the cast to eight and cast B what people call a flip um sometimes you have to actively do those to get them to line up to your body all right and the irony is is generally

Speaking the harder you try to hold the lag and hold off the release the more casting and the more negative casting and flipping you get whereas if you allow those angles to unload as you’re accelerating you know your body and linking out correctly generally those releases will be later so it’s kind of

Ironic how that happens all right why does handle dragging cause Shanks because you’re leading with the hosle when you hold the angles it’s it’s it’s not more complicated than that um the more you hold the angles the more you’re leading with the hosle it’s it’s it’s that cut and

Dried okay great question bars 9870 from an aging player that is losing distance can you talk about the best ways to increase speed the best way to increase speed is to make your swing work more efficiently it it’s all the stretching and flexibility and strength training and

Speed training and whatever all of those things will just make you swing faster the wrong way which will force your body to slow down to manipulate at the bottom to get the ball to go straight um sequencing correctly is the number one way to hit the ball farther and I’ll

Give you evidence from my own career so some of you may or may not know my history I’ll be short um you know in the mid 90s I was making it through stages of Q school I had a i i LED on the the corn Ferry tour the back n Sunday um I

Could play and I was the world long driving Champion two-time runner up I could swing 15 mil an hour and on the golf course 135 plus okay I hit it far and I could play a lot of these cliches people say oh you got to do this you got to hold

This angle you got to get your hips open you got to do this that and the other I bought into all of them when I was um 40 years old which was 16 years ago my club head speed went all the way down to under 110 miles an hour and I had

Trouble breaking 80 half the time I was so confused and so locked up so I was 108 110 mil an hour when I was 40 years old then I started to study the swing and started to see what actually created Club head speed and and by the time I

Was 45 I was a world class long driver again when I was 46 I finished six in the world long driving championship and I I was 48 I finished eighth and I was still able to get over 200 miles hour ball speed when I was 48 years old now I’m

56 I mean I’m out of shape man between a knee surgery being laid up for six months and covid lockdown I got went from 200 all the way up to 255 I’m at 40 I’m 40 lbs overweight 56 years old and I can still swing over 120 M hour

Because I try to sequence my swing correctly and hit the ball that way um so to me that’s where speed comes from it’s having an efficient well sequenced golf swing not firing the hips not firing the arms as fast as you can not lunging this not swinging sticks swings

The speed sticks and the and the you know Sasha McKenzie’s thing they’re helpful to an already good golf swing strength training getting more flexible that’s good for general fitness I need to do some of that but when it comes right down to it making your swing work

More efficiently is the way you generate Club head speed and distance all right good questions as usual um no holes no holes in one Monty your three lefts for short wedges has been a godsend can I use it for all my irons absolutely and it’s four lefts okay it’s

Uh ball more forward which is left weight more forward at a dress left stay left and then shift left normally but you know the concept so that’s for everybody else um yeah you want like five iron for me 205 210 110 115 ft in the air if I want to

Hit it 185 yards 180 yards 70 fet in the air I do the four lefts ball comes out lower doesn’t have any extra spin Cuts right through the wind goes right under the trees good question oh Upstate flyer thank you he said I was the best teacher in the

World I don’t know about that but I like to think I know a few things um here and there um if you get the club moving Up and Away during transition will the release take care of itself or do you have to actively unload the horizontal hinge good question okay really good

Question okay so something a lot of golfers don’t know the club doesn’t go directly to the ball from the top of the swing it goes up and away from the ball okay that’s how it shallows if you go straight to the ball it steepens okay some people don’t like steepening

Shallow for the pitch of the shaft but most people understand that so until we come up with you know upright flat whatever Steep and shallow is what people understand so forgive me if you don’t like that but watch the club head it moves up and away and the question

Was is does it release properly maybe okay um it’s a good start okay if it doesn’t release properly there’s something in there that I can’t begin to guess what it is but but if you can get up and you make an effective back swing and get to the left side and

You get the club to move up and away from the from the ball first move down most of the time you’ll I mean good elite players hit bad shots okay so sometimes you’re going to screw it up but generally speaking if you get the club moving Up and Away you’re you’re

Going to be pretty good with the release all right what’s your number one drill for sequencing oh boy just swear what a great name okay number one drill for sequencing okay everybody hates this so I get a lot of disagreement from Pros who I respect they’re good they’re

Smart they disagree with me and that’s fine we’re allowed to disagree I get a lot of uh piss and vinegar from you know less than Elite golfers let’s say about that I teach an arm swing okay I don’t here’s my opinion on the situation this is from I mean thousands and

Thousands and thousands of online lessons golf schools inperson lessons I mean I’ve only been teaching like uh 13 years now and I’ve probably given you know oh gez between online and in person I’m probably getting close to 50,000 and here’s what I see all day every day if someone shoots overpar

Regularly at this point in the swing their hands are be and arms are behind their body at this point when you see elite players their hands are in front of their right thigh at shaft parallel to the ground most everybody else is back here and I see a lot like this and

Here’s my my opinion on this the golfing public has been inundated for a hundred years with lead with the lower body the arms and hands are along for the ride and passive now I know some very good teachers who teach that and are very successful I don’t believe that’s a good

Narrative okay I’m not saying the people that say that are wrong I’m saying I believe that’s a poor narrative and the evidence is everybody looks like this coming in Impact then they stall their arms take over my swing’s too armsy your swing looks two arms that you got to get

Your body moving it’s a disaster makes it worse so the arms only Trail the body okay this is in broom Force the arms only Trail the body by two 100 of a second that’s 20 milliseconds blink of an eye is 30 133 milliseconds it’s not a

Very long period of time so if you actively lead with the lower body you’re going to end up like this which is what most decent players do or the higher handicappers do this oh look your armsy and your handsy your hands are coming over the top well no my body is spinning

And my arms haven’t budged from where they were in relation to my chest at the top so that’s the impetus I think a great drill and everybody hates this drill because it’s hard and it’s annoying and you hear Justin Rose talk about he feels himself doing this in his full swing so

You know just to increase on the rant and all the devil Advocates say well those guys pivot correctly already so they have to feel that well all the amateurs that are like this probably have to feel that too Jack Nicholas keep your back to the Target

For as long as you can and once you get to the left side you can’t release too early Tiger Woods I try to get my hands to beat my belt buckle to the ball Justin Rose I feel like I stay closed until I come all the way down to here uh Sergio padrick

Harrington I tried uh Bryson dambo I try to whip my arms and pull down to this place as fast as I can you’re sensing a pattern all right so the drill rant’s never over but this part of the rant is over my rants are never over take a back

Swing come to a stop without turning bring your hands in front of your right thigh now this is key if you try to Reco the club and hit it for power you obviously see you’re defeating the purpose of the drill you’re not supposed to hit this ball

Very far you’re supposed to give your body the feeling the hands get to here then you can turn and hit it that ball would have gone about five yards in the air okay but you’re giving the body the feel of letting the arms link up before the body fires to me that’s the

Best sequencing drill wow that was a severe rant even for me okay okay I see guys like Matt Fitzpatrick and others almost hit their shoulder with the shaft on the downswing is that something to strive for in my opinion no um it’s hard to recover from that place

For most golfers um um you know if you see you know most golfers Elite golfers they’re not doing that that you know look Pros can fall for some of these what I believe are Antiquated ideas oh got to switch the camera Pros fall for some of these Antiquated ideas just like

The rest of us have um and I know Fitzpatrick’s picked up a lot of distance but that really getting that severe angle like this look at my left wrist it’s hard to play golf from there whereas it’s you can play golf from here and there’s really no significant gain

Or loss in speed by burying this angle really hard um I’ve yet to see a um a study that says more lag makes you hit it more of this lag makes you hit it farther but as I said more of this lag makes you hit it farther and if the

Shaft is almost hitting you in the shoulder it’s going to come this way oras if it’s working away away from the shoulder it’s going to work more that way so I probably should have gotten in front of the camera but in the other side but yeah I don’t think that’s

That’s ideal and obviously he’s better than I am but for the average golfer that’s a that’s a um a tough thing which video covers the four lefts um Powers shift um covers a lot of it um from one old long driver to another thank you for your simplification of the Swing Charlie

Hamr thanks boss owner deviation on the back swing for short game okay this is a really really good question okay let me go over here let me grab a wedge if there’s a wedge over here somewhere okay here we go so a little Jason dayes

So a little bit of that move in the back swing I’m not going to stand here and say that doesn’t work because it does and I’ve seen even some you know average golfers five six 12 handicappers be very very good doing that so I’m not going to sit here and

Say okay that’s not how I te golf that’s not how I receive information I want what works what’s easiest the problem is here’s the problem if you owner deviate in the back swing okay you don’t have a lot of Leverage and the second you try to

Create some speed it’s going to be like this and the worst thing you can do in your short game is have excess motion right here that kills pretty pretty much everybody at every skill level so while I can see that this is absolutely a viable way to hit pitches

And it works for golfers at multiple skill levels be very very careful that when you do it that you don’t create try to create speed by firing the hips really hard because then that throws off the sequencing on your pit shots because I already said on a full swing the lower

Body only leads the Arms by two 100s of a second on pit shots the lower body doesn’t lean at all basically everything moves at once on pit shots you know the hips the thorax the hands and the club you don’t see any of this because that’s torque and speed you want everything

Moving at the same speed and when you’re like this there’s going to be a you know a tendency to want to go like that but as long as you don’t do that if you can get up there and go see I can’t do it that’s forign to me

But if you can do that and hit a good shot I’m not going to say don’t do it that way that was a really good question all right yeah I know I forgot to change the camera angle I apologize I asked earlier but don’t think you saw I’ve seen some famous

Coaches explain the trail wrist movement as the same movement as throwing a ball or shooting a basketball no I like that um there to me there’s a reason why um people make a joke and say well pitchers only play play once every 5 days so they get to go

Play golf well that’s fine but um a baseball swing is a slice get the hips open hold this angle and wrist underneath the bat that’s a slice pitchers quarterbacks stay closed stay closed stay closed open up and unload the right wrist that’s why quarterbacks and um and pitchers you know Steph Curry

Not withstanding win that tournament in Tahoe every year because their natural mechanics of quarterbacking and pitching are more like a golf swing than a baseball swing yeah I know I forgot I’m not perfect even though it seems like I think I am uh show the drill again please okay so the sequencing

Drill oh I know why you could only you could see me in the mirror over there that’s okay so the sequencing drill is go here bring it down in front of the right thigh without turning your hips or shoulders and turn through the ball and

I and I’m sure you all heard if you come to this spot and Reco the arms for power then fire the body it obviously defeats the purpose I only hit that ball 10 yards so it’s here here turn and hit it and you can see

It’s going to get me to a pretty good impact position fire the cameraman yeah definitely fire the cameraman yeah yep yep yep I know camera screwed it up yep did the drill again best drill to fix over the top it’s what we’re talking about okay so there’s two

Parts there’s two parts well there’s more than two parts but the two main parts to not being over the top part one is make sure you’re starting to work left as you get to the top of the Swing the power shift move but if you’re up

Here and you’re casting the club to 8 o00 how you going to come over the top so get into the left side throw it to eight rotate coming from the inside nice draw on target Monty’s a genius okay all right okay can you show how to not hit

Way behind the ball when using the zipper away and stuff like this okay this is another one of those Concepts that is pervade this is a power shift stuff this is another one of those Concepts that’s pervade for a 100 years you shift to the right in the back swing

You shift to the left in the down swing that doesn’t work okay maybe Elite athletes and Elite golfers can kind of make that work but when you watch Elite golfers they shift to the right early and then as they get to the top they’re moving back to the left just like a

Pitcher turns and goes to the right and then before he opens up he’s going back to the left okay so how if you’re like this shifting to the right that’s going to be fat okay but if you go to the right back to the left rotate that’s going to be

More on the ball you got to get that shift to happen as the last move of the back swing not the first move of the down swing fire the camera man that’s great totally deserved criticism thoughts on trail elbow bended impact I feel like a lot of people try

And maintain That Elbow Bend along with lag angle rather than releasing okay so Trail elbow Bend ha has so many variables on whether you should or shouldn’t and how much like I’m 6’2 I’ve only got a six foot Wing Ken ventur I learned this from Ken ventur okay fairly decent golfer smart man

Famous guy this was like 30 years ago and we were doing an infomercial together for a shaft and he was a little bit upset and he had had um a few cocktails at lunch while we were having a rain delay great guy by the way one of the nicest guys

Ever and he started talking about people copying Hogan’s swing and thought that was ridiculous and I said how so I wanted to learn something from great man he goes listen Monty he goes your arms are pretty proportional to your height and I go actually they’re a little short he

Goes even worse so he goes bend your right elbow x amount of degrees now put it in this spot on your side now tilt to the right and get the club all the way down to the ball it hurt and he goes exactly right Ben’s he called him Ben he

Goes Ben’s arms were really long he could tie his shoes without bending over so the I’ve heard from more than one person that they approximated maybe he was 5’8 and he had over a six foot wingspan so he better have a right elbow bent and better have a lot of um you

Know right tilted impact or he’s not going to hit the ball very well but someone like me who’s very highwaisted okay arms shorter than my uh than than than my height if I have a lot of right elbow Bend and a lot of right tilted impact I’m going to be

Terrible so to answer the question I have never found someone who straighten the right elbow too early without an extend uating Factor poor shift poor rotation poor position of the club whatever the right elbow should theoretically start straightening the first move down just like this should be

The first move down this should also be the first move down because it encourages your body to rotate to the ball and I’ve done this with dozens if not probably hundreds of golfers Monty I I stall out and lock out my right arm at impact how do I keep my right elbow uh

Uh bent longer and rotate through impact I say straighten your elbow first move down in that direction and I’m pointing toward 8:00 and they look at me like I’ve lost my mind and they say Monty you’ve lost your mind I said I’m well aware of that but just try it without exception

Everybody that tries that has more right elbow bended impact and their body more open at impact when they try to straighten it early cuz here’s what happens holding leg keeping the right elbow bent wide and narrow keep it bent keep it bent hold the leg hold the leg I

Can’t hit the ball guess how I’m going to hit the ball stand up stall out Chuck the angles straighten the elbow okay but if I go straighten the elbow straighten the elbow straighten the elbow straighten the elbow straighten the elbow rotating to the ball is the

Only way I can get there it’s actually easier seeing from here throw the cast The Club straighten the elbow this is the only way I can get to the ball is to rotate and shift to it whereas if I’m in here like this that’s the only way I can get to

The ball so one say thing Hogan was famous for is he would tell hackers take every Instinct you have on what you think you should do to hit the ball and do the exact opposite and that’s what I’m telling you here unload those angles straight in that elbow and

If your body doesn’t right tilt and shift and rotate you’ll never get to the ball but if you’re holding these angles stand up stall throw is all you’ve got the opposite of what logic would dictate so I’m going to answer one more question we’re kind of coming up on the hour here

These are all good I apologize um for not being able to answer everybody’s questions as most of you know I’m long- winded and I’m a ranting fool um one last question here um why am I hitting the toe shots using NTC it’s hard to say um probably getting the one that

I’ve seen is people are stuck on the right side okay if you’re stuck on the right side at the top of the swing and you do the NTC you’re going to get a lot of toe shots and you’re going to get a lot of fat shots and you’re going to get

A lot of hooks so that’s the I’m not saying that’s it for sure but that’s the most likely reason uh why you’re doing that um okay one last question Raphael Davis Esquire okay okay uh love him he’s a good dude um does early wrist flexion in

The back swing typically lead to a loss of power in the downswing well John ROM Dustin Johnson say different okay um doing it wrong doing it excessively not unloading the angle correctly will be a loss of power but if you are good enough to get in here like this and then

Release the angles properly and pivot properly it’s absolutely not a loss of power all right one swing for driver or irons are two from ad pcny it’s random but your intent should be the same the SW every swing is different with every Club because they’re different lengths different lies

But your intent to hit the ball should be the same with all clubs all right everybody um I appre appreciate you all coming um and listening to me and uh this will be up on Instagram tomorrow if you uh missed any of it and um I’m going to keep doing

These because I have fun and I enjoy answering the questions and ranting and raving about my ideas and uh have a good evening
