Welcome to Dynamic Golf Podcast. 9 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,600 I'm your co-host Tim McElvanagh, the owner and operator of Swing Theory Golf, and with 10 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,440 me is my co-host Sean Klotz. 11 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,240 Hey golfers, how are you doing today? 12 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,960 So today we're going to talk a little bit about how to prepare for winter weather, bad 13 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,680 weather, talk about some New Year's resolutions, and also talk about getting depth about the 14 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,680 PGA show today. 15 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,880 Yeah, so basically first of all, happy New Year to our listeners, right? 16 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:11,880 Yes, happy New Year. 17 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,040 We've been doing this for about three months now and we're excited the traction we're 18 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,000 gaining from some of the listeners and just some people we talk to in the golf world. 19 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,520 I think it's going to be a great, great New Year for 2024. 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,520 Yeah, I'm excited. 21 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,200 And like you said, you kind of always hear around New Year's the resolutions. 22 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,920 People trying to lose weight or eat better or whatever that is. 23 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,880 So we're just going to kind of attack that from the golf side and see how we can improve 24 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,880 your game. 25 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,880 Sounds good. 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,880 Sounds good. 27 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,600 So beginning with that, Sean, do you have any New Year's resolutions that you're trying 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,000 to do for 2024 or anything like that? 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,680 Well, it's a tough one, T-Mac. 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,320 I would say in general, I would say that I need to learn how to chip better, which is 31 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,600 an interesting thing from a PGA guy from 2020. 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,080 I was about to say you've got a really good short game, so I'm kind of surprised to hear 33 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,080 that. 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,800 But it's funny that you're always tweaking. 35 00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,800 You know what I'm saying? 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,800 You're always tweaking on your game. 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,840 You're always picking out the points that you want to get better at. 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,120 Played a couple of times over the holidays and some of those plus four and plus five 39 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,000 rounds could easily have been even par. 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,480 And to me right now, what it's coming down to, which is probably a lot of our listeners, 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,480 confidence. 42 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,480 I have no problem if there's grass underneath the golf ball. 43 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,080 I feel really good taking that 60 and like we've talked about in some of the other podcasts 44 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,400 and kind of spinning it, we'll call it, or putting some juice on it. 45 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,440 But it's the tight ones. 46 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,640 We have this as some of the older clientele, you start seeing them putt from 30 yards off. 47 00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:38,640 I'm starting to get there. 48 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:39,640 Oh yeah. 49 00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:40,640 Oh yeah. 50 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:41,640 Hybrids, right? 51 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,400 I mean, go to a club that's less lofted instead of the 60. 52 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,080 But the tight lies. 53 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,420 And I think as I've tried to look through my own game and try to look at some different 54 00:02:51,420 --> 00:02:58,560 videos of Mickelson, some of his great chipping techniques, I try to feel like the grip is 55 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,800 moving faster than the clubhead. 56 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,800 That's what I try to do. 57 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,180 I feel like when I hit that, to me, I don't hit it thin. 58 00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:08,280 To me, it's the fat one that I stub into the ground. 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,780 I let the clubhead release too quickly and the hands slow up essentially. 60 00:03:12,780 --> 00:03:14,440 And the leading edge digs. 61 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,440 Yeah. 62 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,440 Yeah. 63 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,480 And as you get less confident, you swing slower because you're trying to control it 64 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,480 all. 65 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,480 Yeah. 66 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,800 But when you hit the good shot, it's usually like a faster speed shot. 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,320 That's how you put and spin on it. 68 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,320 Correct. 69 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,120 So in general, I'm going to try to stick with one putter for probably at least six months. 70 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,120 Okay. 71 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,120 Is that the Sax Parente? 72 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,160 Actually, right now I've got an Odyssey, kind of an older Odyssey model. 73 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,680 And I really liked some of the AI stuff that's coming up from Callaway. 74 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,680 Yeah. 75 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,120 I was with you the other day when we went to the demo day for Callaway and you were 76 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,120 making... 77 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,680 I was making 20 footers every day like it was a tap in. 78 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,920 So that AI technology is there's something to it, I believe. 79 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,960 You were amazing with that white faced... 80 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,400 And then they had a copper face too, which is a little heavier maybe? 81 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,400 Yeah. 82 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,880 They had a milled face, I think it was, a copper milled face and stuff like this. 83 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Very soft feel. 84 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,560 Great technology, I think. 85 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,960 If you're a person that struggles with putting on the short game, I think that's going to 86 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,960 improve your putting. 87 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,480 It's going to get you percentage-ly closer to the hole, which in turn, we will eliminate 88 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,480 the three putt, hopefully. 89 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,560 But yeah, putting is a big part of it as well with the short game. 90 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,160 So it was cool to try the... 91 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,120 So we went to this demo day that Callaway had for the PGA members over in Orlando two 92 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,120 weeks ago. 93 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,800 And it was just good to be able to kind of put different golf balls with different putters. 94 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,360 You could feel how it comes off the face. 95 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,120 So I think that was an important thing. 96 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,960 And then obviously just being able to hit some of the wedges and some of the clubs in 97 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,960 general. 98 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,960 But I think that people don't... 99 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,800 They come in all the time to the golf shop, hey, which ball should I play? 100 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,520 And you've got maybe 30 seconds with them. 101 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,400 You can't really go into the in-depth ball fitting. 102 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,600 That Callaway wants you to go into, or TaylorMade, or any other company. 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,200 So you do have to kind of, hey, do you hit it high? 104 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,200 Do you hit it low? 105 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,200 Do you want to spin it more or less? 106 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,720 How much do you want to pay? 107 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,720 Correct. 108 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,720 Where's your price point? 109 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,440 And then how fast is your swing speed? 110 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,840 That's kind of some of the bottom line. 111 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,360 But for us to be able to go on a good green over at Reunion and be able to tell... 112 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,080 And there was certainly a different feel between the standard, like you said, the milled face 113 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,360 putter, which was kind of the more expensive one, and then just the white hot, I call it 114 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,360 the white hot face. 115 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,560 It's the AI version. 116 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,480 And what they were trying to describe to us was really that, like you just said, the percentage 117 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,280 of your kind of longer putts, they're going to go closer to the whole... 118 00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:40,200 The 20, 30 footers they're talking about, for sure. 119 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,560 So just always keep tweaking. 120 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,560 That's what I would say. 121 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,560 So for me, it's wedges. 122 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,240 I kind of know where my golf swing is. 123 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,040 I'm still going to work on my golf swing as well. 124 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,480 But for me, it's just getting... 125 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,640 I feel like I'm good percentage with my up and downs, but just really trying to be more 126 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,200 confident in that regard. 127 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,000 And whether you have to go to take a lesson or I hate to go down the YouTube route, but 128 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000 whatever... 129 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Yeah, whatever works for you. 130 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,120 You got to go find it. 131 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,840 Most of the times, at least for me for short game, I go find some good books. 132 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,920 I love Dave Pels for short game. 133 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,360 I think he's great. 134 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,240 But he's one of those people that when you do read them, you got to slowly digest it. 135 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,880 You just can't jump out there into the practice area. 136 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,360 You got to kind of think about what he's saying and stuff like that. 137 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,360 But you're right. 138 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,600 It's so frustrating to fritter a shots around the green. 139 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,600 I mean, it's just... 140 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,600 Oh! 141 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,600 Yeah. 142 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,640 I would, like you said, I'd probably rather putt it at this point from those fairways. 143 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,160 That's the winter time lives. 144 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,160 Yeah. 145 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,600 I mean, you're going to get that tight grass. 146 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,480 It's very hard, very dry. 147 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,840 Using a nine iron or a seven iron, something more of a straight face would be beneficial. 148 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:56,320 But I do know that pulling out the old 60 and wanting to throw it high and on there 149 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,080 is something that we all want to do. 150 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,400 It depends on where you play too. 151 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,600 So the course that I played on Monday, the greens were faster and a little bit quicker 152 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:11,120 than Lake Brenda is currently, but you go to play Lake Jovita or Buckhorn or something, 153 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,640 you're going to be quick greens. 154 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Yeah. 155 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,640 Different turf. 156 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,640 Yeah. 157 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,640 Correct. 158 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,640 Yeah. 159 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,640 So what are you working on this year? 160 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,640 What are you... 161 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,960 So this year, my New Year's resolution is to gain club head speed. 162 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,960 So I'm going to be working on a six week program from, I think it's called Speed Sticks. 163 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,720 And what I'm going to try to do is my end goal is to gain three miles an hour club head 164 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,720 speed at the end of it. 165 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,000 Now I'm sure my listeners are probably going, huh? 166 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,080 Don't you want more than that? 167 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,020 And that's a significant gain. 168 00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:43,800 When you start looking at it, that's a significant gain. 169 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,400 That's probably about 10 to 15 yards. 170 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,960 And with the guys that I'm playing with, they've got club head speeds of upwards of 110, 115 171 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,480 miles an hour, where mine's sitting somewhere in the mid 90s. 172 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,280 So giving up that distance is crucial. 173 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:04,040 I mean, in the scoring zone, I'm probably high 70s because of my lack of distance where 174 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,560 those guys are shooting mid 70s to low 70s. 175 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,120 So it's tough to compete with those guys. 176 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,200 So getting a little bit more distance, trying to get my distance out to 240, 250 or something 177 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,440 like that is an end goal for me right now. 178 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,000 Have you started any... 179 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,440 So you order the program, it's the sticks, right? 180 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,280 They're actually the different colored sticks, like the red, green, and blue? 181 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,960 Yeah, so I've got the three sticks for speed training. 182 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,840 I also got a counterweight or a counter stick that's got a balance in the back of the club 183 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,040 to help with your hand speed. 184 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,320 I also got something that's called a grip club. 185 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,560 So I guess the boys at SpeedStick did a study and they found that people with strong forms 186 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,840 and strong grips controlled the club much, much more better. 187 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,840 Right? 188 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,840 Tom Watson, Ben Hogan. 189 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,000 Well, it goes right back to the lesson that you had with Tim Pulse about the strength 190 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,560 of the grip. 191 00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,120 So making sure that basically I get myself stronger, faster is what I'm trying to do. 192 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:07,280 And as I'm starting to age here, it is paramount for me to keep that swing speed up as much 193 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,080 as I can as I get older. 194 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,360 I think something I heard there too was that people don't pay attention to in the world 195 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,680 is hand speed. 196 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,020 They all think about club head speed as being how fast the club head's going. 197 00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:23,640 But the more videos that I watch, I watch AMG quite a bit, Athletic Motion Golf. 198 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,640 Yeah, those guys are great. 199 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,760 They're really good with how they break down some of their stuff. 200 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:36,960 But it is that there's a significant correlation between hand speed, hip speed, pelvis rotation, 201 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,960 shoulder rotation, like all those types of things. 202 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,160 I don't want to really get into all that with the listener currently if you want to go kind 203 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,000 of go do your own research on it. 204 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,040 But the hands control, they're attached to the golf club. 205 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,720 Correct, the only thing that attaches you to the golf club. 206 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,720 So if they're moving slowly, that club head's probably going to be moving slowly. 207 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,240 And the thing about it is where the hands move fast. 208 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,960 It's from the top of the swing down to probably P2 or P4 I think is what they're called, almost 209 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,800 parallel with the ground, hip high. 210 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,080 And then the club head starts to accelerate from there. 211 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,760 There's a point where, again, whether you know this or not, there's a point in that 212 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,840 golf swing when the hands actually stop moving and the club head starts really accelerating 213 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,840 paths. 214 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,800 And it's just before you get into impact, like just prior to that spot. 215 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,500 So you got to start it down quick and have some pressure like we're talking about too. 216 00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:32,320 And then from there, then you kind of started the force. 217 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,800 Now you don't want to get in the way of it. 218 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,060 That's why you don't want to keep the pressure. 219 00:10:36,060 --> 00:10:39,720 You want to let the club head now move as you're swinging. 220 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,720 So some people, I think, kind of go into that, they try to hold the angle. 221 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,840 And I think that's one of the things I see with a lot of people is you've got to get 222 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,440 that to about rib high or waist high. 223 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,960 And then we got to start releasing that club to go. 224 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,200 I start seeing a lot of younger players, they're like holding the lag down to pass their knees. 225 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,400 I'm like, that's not conducive for what you're supposed to do. 226 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,400 I think it's amazing. 227 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:09,160 When I do a lesson, I do a lot of coming over to the person, have them be in their posture 228 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,880 and their setup and they're ready to go. 229 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,920 And I always say, let me control the club. 230 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,920 Let me guide the golf club. 231 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,240 And you hold the shaft and it's amazing how much pressure. 232 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,240 Tension they have. 233 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,240 Tension they have on that. 234 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,240 You can feel it. 235 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,240 You don't have to be on their hands. 236 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,240 You can feel it in the shaft. 237 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,240 Correct. 238 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,280 Because they're not letting their hands have any, it's just tight. 239 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,280 It's so tight. 240 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,440 So it's finding that balance between, yes, properly gripping the club with some tension 241 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,520 like Tim was saying, Tim Poults. 242 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,960 And also positioning your hands because that really does matter. 243 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,960 Oh yeah, absolutely. 244 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,640 If you've got a poor grip, it doesn't matter. 245 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,200 Yeah, the club face will be open or closed or whatever. 246 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,280 So get a proper grip, get a conventional grip. 247 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,960 And then basically, yeah, there's got to be some of that give and take of you can't death 248 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,840 grip it at the beginning because you've got to let the hands have some motion. 249 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,240 But then at some point, you've got to let the club head go. 250 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,240 Release. 251 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,240 Yeah, absolutely. 252 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,640 And so I think that's a great one, Team Act for a lot of our listeners. 253 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,080 And maybe it's not speed sticks for them. 254 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,800 Maybe for them, it's maybe it's just, hey, how quick can I move my hips? 255 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,400 Can I move my hips quicker? 256 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,400 Right. 257 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,400 You could do little drills at home. 258 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,160 It doesn't have to be a golf club, but just kind of get your body moving in a quicker 259 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,440 position, more explosive, more dynamic. 260 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,080 And you're going to see results out there for sure. 261 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,840 I think that one of the ones I like to give to my students a lot is because they're so 262 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,360 focused on length of backswing. 263 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,000 John Daly was an unbelievable talent, but kind of killed the golf world. 264 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Oh, yeah. 265 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000 He killed us in structures, right? 266 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Bubba Watson. 267 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,880 Hey, there's a reason there's only one Bubba Watson because he's so unique. 268 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,880 So hand-eye coordinated. 269 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,880 Yeah. 270 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:47,880 I mean, it's amazing. 271 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,880 Both of those players. 272 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:49,880 I mean, ridiculous. 273 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:55,600 But the conventional, the people that you look at in the past 15, 20 years, Adam Scott, 274 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,600 picture perfect ball swing. 275 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,600 Oh, God. 276 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,600 Love that swing. 277 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,600 Right? 278 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,600 Obviously Tiger. 279 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,360 Tiger was amazing in so many ways, but his golf swing is technically perfect in so many 280 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,360 degrees. 281 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,360 Absolutely. 282 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,280 And he changed it so many times and kept it perfect. 283 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,280 Jim Furyk. 284 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,680 You wouldn't think of him as technically perfect, but through the hitting zone, as straight 285 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,720 of a ball hitter as anybody. 286 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,720 From hip to hip. 287 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400 I mean, he kept that club face so square. 288 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,840 So whatever that is, where to me, I like to take a half backswing. 289 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,240 And again, what I think is a half backswing usually turns into a three quarter backswing. 290 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,280 But I really like to, okay, and I'll tell my student, I yell at him, like, okay, take 291 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,320 it halfway back and go. 292 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,320 Go. 293 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,640 Like get into that left side. 294 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,640 Yeah. 295 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,280 Like press that left foot for the right handed golfer. 296 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,800 Press that left foot into the ground because then the next result is that you have to. 297 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,800 Raise up. 298 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:49,800 Come off the ground. 299 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,800 Yeah. 300 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,800 Yeah. 301 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,040 But you can't ever do that if you're never going into the ground. 302 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,040 Correct. 303 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,040 You know? 304 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,760 So I think getting that hip speed, that's what I mean by hip speed and rotation and 305 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,560 pressure in turn. 306 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:06,760 Sean Van Patten, our friend from Pure Science Golf, had multiple same lessons with Sean 307 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,040 10 years ago and for like five years. 308 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,760 And one of his good things that always stuck in my head was, Sean, your feet are like a 309 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,000 cat on a roof. 310 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,640 Like your feet are like a cat with, like you're on an ice skating rink, I guess is the way 311 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,640 he would say it. 312 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,520 So what he meant by that was I could never grab, I could never get traction with my feet 313 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,520 into the ground. 314 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,520 Gotcha. 315 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,520 You know? 316 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,560 And he wanted me to feel like my claws, like the cat's claws were going into the ground 317 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,320 to then be able to press off the ground. 318 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,320 Right. 319 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,320 Using ground forces, right? 320 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,320 Yeah. 321 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,320 Yeah. 322 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,320 But he's like, Sean, you just kind of stay on top of the ice. 323 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,800 You never get into the ground when you do it. 324 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,200 That's a good way to think about it because if you're constantly, again, how many of our 325 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,160 golfers do we see as they make their follow through, they kind of back off of it? 326 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,240 Like they fall backwards away from the target. 327 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,240 Correct. 328 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680 That's a clear example of somebody not using the ground. 329 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,680 Yes. 330 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,200 Because they pushed off the wrong way. 331 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,200 Yep. 332 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,200 And then they'll have all that weight on the backside. 333 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,200 That's it. 334 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,000 And when you watch TV, girls, boys, doesn't matter. 335 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,800 Their follow through is picturesque for a reason. 336 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,800 Yes. 337 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,800 Yes. 338 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,560 They've done all the good things with their hips and their shift and their ground force 339 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:20,640 on the lead side to get them to come to this beautiful, classic Rory McIlroy follow through. 340 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,640 Yeah. 341 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,640 Yeah. 342 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,960 So one of the things I preach to my students, especially about ground force, is that if 343 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,320 I were trying to make a free throw, what's the last motion I make before I make that 344 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,320 free throw? 345 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,920 I push into the ground to push up. 346 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,240 And it seems like it's kind of a eureka moment for those people. 347 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,480 Really, I need to push into the ground. 348 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,940 And once they start feeling that, they start feeling where the pressure is in their feet. 349 00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:48,080 They start feeling the tightness in their core. 350 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,720 And it's a big moment for them. 351 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,040 And they really have been skating on the ice all this time. 352 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,360 I think that's a great way to do it. 353 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,360 You got to relate it. 354 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,440 A lot of times we ask them, hey, what other sport did you play? 355 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,880 Because if they came from baseball, from softball, from soccer, that's a good one sometimes. 356 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:03,880 Absolutely. 357 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:04,880 Hockey is a good one. 358 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,880 Hockey is a real good one, actually. 359 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,880 Yeah. 360 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,360 But I like tennis a lot. 361 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,320 Tennis is a really good one relating to golf. 362 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:18,680 Because if you think of Federer or Sampras or Nadal, when they're doing a serve, the 363 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,200 first thing they're doing is throwing the ball up in the air, jumping off the ground, 364 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,120 and getting as high as they can to put as much power into that coming down. 365 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,120 Right. 366 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,120 Yeah, it's just not the arm speed. 367 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,560 It's also the thrust upwards that's getting that power. 368 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,560 Yeah. 369 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,080 And then the other part of tennis that's good is, obviously, if you're just hitting a standard 370 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,720 forehand, you've got to rotate your body. 371 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,420 You got to turn your body to the left, we'll call it, while your arm is working backwards 372 00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:41,420 the other way. 373 00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:45,440 I mean, you can talk about how much you're going to draw the ball, which is right-hand 374 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,440 topspin. 375 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,440 Yeah. 376 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,440 That's very relatable to golf. 377 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,160 If you're trying to put a little cut spin on it, you've got to cut the racket, open 378 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,160 the racket. 379 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,400 Well, and I think it shows the student what the face is actually doing. 380 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,400 Right? 381 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,920 Instead of having that small little tiny face down there, four feet away from us, you have 382 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,000 this big tennis racket. 383 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,840 It just serves as a big visual for your players. 384 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:08,840 Absolutely. 385 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,200 We did some work with First T maybe like eight or 10 years ago. 386 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,440 They've got that huge, big instructional golf club for the kids. 387 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,680 Yes, I love that thing. 388 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,720 We need that for the 50-year-olds out here. 389 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,920 Absolutely, just to get the understanding. 390 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,440 Understand what the face does, period, because we know that if the face is going square to 391 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,880 the target, the ball's probably going to go pretty straight. 392 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,880 Right. 393 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,720 I mean, that's what the ball flights now are telling us on track, man. 394 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,720 It's that the ball is going to start where the face starts. 395 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,720 Right? 396 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,920 Before, when I was first in the industry, it was all about the path. 397 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,240 The path will send it and the face will bend it. 398 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,040 Well, now we know it's completely different. 399 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:48,120 It's all about what the face does and the path, the ball works off of the path. 400 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:49,120 Right? 401 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:54,480 So, just with the track, man, that we have here, it's shown us so much and it's completely 402 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,160 changed the way that we teach, I think. 403 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,160 You can't hide from it. 404 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,680 No, it's data. 405 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,200 It's numbers right there. 406 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,480 I tell two people you can't lie to with your golf instructor and the dentist. 407 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,480 Correct. 408 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,480 They're going to know. 409 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,480 Have you done your clothing? 410 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,160 Have you done your cleaning or have you done your practicing? 411 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,160 Absolutely. 412 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,160 I can't really hide from it. 413 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,160 So, no. 414 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,880 And the other thing about practice too, just on a side note there, as we're talking about 415 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,280 doing some stuff for the new years is it might seem incremental. 416 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,680 Some of the changes when we video, some people had some people in this morning, I was doing 417 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,680 a lesson. 418 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,600 Sometimes it's dramatic. 419 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,120 Sometimes you can see, oh my goodness, ma'am, sir, you've got your weight. 420 00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:36,120 Like the one particular instance today was when they took their backswing, their front 421 00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:39,640 foot lifted off the ground, the heel. 422 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,040 And then four swings later, she was not lifting her heel because she understood that, okay, 423 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,920 I don't need to feel like the club's going that far back or she can rotate enough with 424 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,160 her shoulders to get it where she's not. 425 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,440 So sometimes they're really big, dramatic changes where you can say, hey, my left knee 426 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,920 is not bending as much. 427 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,680 My left foot's not off the ground as much. 428 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,760 Therefore, I've got a much better chance of not topping it. 429 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:01,760 Correct. 430 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,720 But then also there's sometimes when it's incremental feels, the take, which is what 431 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,880 you hear the tour players say, six weeks, six months, really not fully invested in the 432 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,600 swing until six months into it. 433 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,600 Right. 434 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,080 And they'll work on just the takeaway. 435 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,840 Just a small two feet of it and they have to get that feel. 436 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,760 It's tough for our students to say, hey, go home for two weeks and just work on two feet 437 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,760 of the swing. 438 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,720 I guarantee you they'll do it two times and it's, let's go hit a ball. 439 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,720 Yeah, let's go play golf. 440 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:32,720 Right. 441 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,000 So practice with purpose is really the key on that. 442 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,840 So we got the PGA show coming up here. 443 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,840 Yes. 444 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,840 Yes. 445 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,000 We got the PGA show coming up here at the end of January. 446 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,120 I'm super excited. 447 00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:46,760 Definitely looking forward to go into demo day and seeing everything there. 448 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,760 How about yourself? 449 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,760 What are you looking forward to? 450 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,760 Yeah. 451 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,440 I mean, I've been going since I've been PGA member since 2003. 452 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,360 So I still feel like I get excited every year when you go in. 453 00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:55,680 Wednesday's a good date. 454 00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,120 Now, this is one of those things that I can say as a PGA member, I always think that there 455 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:02,000 should be a day for the public to go in. 456 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Yes. 457 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,680 I understand the vendors get tired and don't want to be there all the time and stuff, but 458 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:12,920 you're showing us, the PGA members and family, what the new product is. 459 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,880 But there should be, nobody's going to, nobody at the PGA headquarters is going to listen 460 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,360 to Sean and Tim. 461 00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,400 Well, maybe not now, maybe later. 462 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,400 Exactly. 463 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,120 But I just think that there should be a day where to keep the excitement level for the 464 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:28,080 new stuff, that the public should be able to come in if you want to charge them. 465 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,800 And hey, PGA is supposed to be a charitable organization. 466 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,640 Donate it to a charity. 467 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:38,440 A local charity or something that's going on in the nation or in the world. 468 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,440 Donate that money. 469 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,840 Ten bucks a person, you get 50,000 people in that convention center. 470 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,880 Anyway, so back to my episode. 471 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,600 I think it's great because you have the largest collection of vendors, you have the largest 472 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,480 collector of retailers there. 473 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,480 The new products. 474 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,480 New products. 475 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,000 And I'm telling you, as excited as we get about the PGA show, the public does as well. 476 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,440 They want to see behind the scenes. 477 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,160 They want to know what's going on. 478 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,440 And I think it would just kind of help the PGA pro a little bit. 479 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,880 They kind of saw behind the scenes and see, hey, this is what we do. 480 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,480 This is what we organize. 481 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,240 I think they would have a little bit greater appreciation for it. 482 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,440 That week, I'd like to know what the ratings for Golf Channel are that week because they 483 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,600 do a good job of covering it. 484 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,600 They do a great job. 485 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,200 But again, it's kind of like the headliners. 486 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,040 It's kind of the big guys who are there or maybe they do interviews with some of the 487 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,720 top CEOs of some of the companies. 488 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:37,280 But to me, that new product area is such a cool area to just stroll down around. 489 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,280 We brought stuff back to the golf course from that. 490 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,280 Absolutely. 491 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,600 I bring back a putter each year that I think is the newest, greatest. 492 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:49,640 And it's always great to see the new technology with putting or hitting a ball or even just 493 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:50,880 the new type of golf carts. 494 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,200 I mean, it's just there's so much there. 495 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,200 It's simulators. 496 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,040 Where they come from 10 years ago to what they are now. 497 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,480 I mean, it's a second Christmas for a PGA pro, to be honest with you. 498 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,600 Yeah, and it's different too from my brother who's a PGA member in Massachusetts where 499 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,720 it's his off season. 500 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,640 That's why they do schedule in January. 501 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,560 So for us Florida pros, it's kind of tougher because right in the middle of our deal. 502 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,720 We're busy right now. 503 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,240 But they're coming down to be able to kind of... 504 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,800 The other thing too, T-Mac too, is there's a lot of camaraderie about the PGA show. 505 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:28,240 I haven't been the best, I'm gonna say PGA section member where I haven't attended enough 506 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,120 things usually because of work. 507 00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:34,360 It's not a great answer, but there's a lot of seeing some people that you haven't seen. 508 00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:35,360 Reconnecting. 509 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:39,720 Yeah, somebody from a club that might be down in Sarasota that you just haven't been able 510 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,720 to get down there and see what you see them over there. 511 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,200 So there's a lot of that you'll see at the show, which is cool. 512 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,880 But yeah, just what we're gonna go, I think it's the 23rd and 24th kind of that week. 513 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,560 So we'll come back with a good report for you guys, kind of let you know what we see. 514 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,600 And the other thing that's changed a little bit too is kind of COVID related-ish, supply 515 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,280 chain related issues that you'll definitely see some of these companies starting to post 516 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,280 some things early January. 517 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,880 Whereas before pre social media, that was not introduced until the PGA show. 518 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:10,880 Correct. 519 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,040 And I think it's just tougher to keep a rap on it now with how social media is. 520 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,540 Everybody's got a camera or something like that. 521 00:23:16,540 --> 00:23:20,880 So I think it's just convenient, more convenient for them to kind of let it kind of slip out 522 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,880 a little bit early. 523 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,880 So that's it. 524 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,880 That's it. 525 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,720 Hey, let's give our listeners one tip. 526 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,280 I'm going to go with the, you know, kind of, I know it's pretty open ended question to 527 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,280 you. 528 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,280 You can ask it to me after that too. 529 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,280 Okay. 530 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,840 But give them kind of one thing maybe that they want to work on. 531 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,920 Let's go with with driver. 532 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,800 If you want to think about what driver, what would you tell them that maybe sort of, you 533 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,960 know, one or two most important things to think about when they're trying to hit, you 534 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,800 know, a little further, a little longer with driver? 535 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,480 I think the big thing I would say is to make sure that you're hitting up on the ball. 536 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,480 Okay. 537 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:57,240 You know, for me, I, and this is just me, I like to kind of tee the ball up high. 538 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,840 And for me, I try to find a cloud up high in the sky. 539 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,840 Okay. 540 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:08,160 And my thought process is to hit that ball up into that cloud as high as I can and swing 541 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,200 as fast as I can. 542 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,200 Yeah. 543 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,360 I've just with the studies that I've done or the knowledge that I kind of know is that 544 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:19,760 if I can get it, you know, hitting on the upswing and as fast as I can, I'll have a 545 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,800 less chance of having side spin on it. 546 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,800 Yep. 547 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,360 And that's kind of what everybody's going for, at least with the driver. 548 00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:26,360 Yeah. 549 00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:27,360 So those are my key. 550 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:28,840 Really reduces your backspin too. 551 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,840 That's the thing. 552 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,440 And that's the offset, right? 553 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,280 Is that the easiest way to explain that is if you're trying to hit a sand wedge pitching 554 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,200 wedge from the fairway, you're hitting completely down into the golf ball. 555 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,200 Correct. 556 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,000 Which gets the ball to go up in the air, but in a completely different way with a ton of 557 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000 spin on it. 558 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,000 Yes. 559 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000 And you want spin on that shot, right? 560 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Yeah, exactly. 561 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,040 The opposite with drivers, you want as little spin as possible with the correct dynamic 562 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,000 loft and how the ball's getting up in the air. 563 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,280 You don't want to have no spin. 564 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:01,080 But yeah, so to me that would be always, again, I'm going to go back to Sean Van Patten. 565 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,000 You would think it'd be better by this point if we had the same lesson for 10 years, but 566 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,420 it's the student, not the instructor. 567 00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:08,560 But he would put the head cover in front of the tee. 568 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,360 You know, just put your head cover down, you know, obviously past the golf ball in front 569 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:16,720 of the tee, because I would invariably make my golf swing, I'm swinging down into it with 570 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,720 driver. 571 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,480 So I'm hitting the ball, the tee, and then the head cover right in front of me. 572 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,480 Great for an iron. 573 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,480 Yeah. 574 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,480 Great for an iron. 575 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,280 Yeah, but if you get that concept, and you can be, you know, leaning it with yourself, 576 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,880 like move the head cover a little further forward until you get the concept and then 577 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,560 kind of move it slightly closer to the ball. 578 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,560 Yeah, challenge yourself a little bit. 579 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:34,560 To get that idea, yeah. 580 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,040 So that's a good one though. 581 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,720 It's a good one for driver. 582 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,220 So my question to you is, what would be one tip, and you're an amazing putter, so I'd 583 00:25:43,220 --> 00:25:47,880 like to know a little bit, what would be one good solid tip for our listeners for putting? 584 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:48,880 Yeah. 585 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,560 So I got probably one or two, but routine is mine. 586 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:58,720 And be consistent with your routine, figure out what your routine is, read it from all 587 00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,720 sides. 588 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,000 So I really like to walk my putt off. 589 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,960 And I think that's part of the reason why my three putt ratio is better than most, because 590 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,360 I do walk my putt off. 591 00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:12,360 Other people are putting, they're going, you know, you're going from the golf cart to the 592 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:14,640 green, you have time. 593 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,200 And get a number in your head, pace it off, whatever your pace is. 594 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,520 I got size 13 feet. 595 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,600 So when I take a pace, I've got basically three feet of a walking stride. 596 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,160 So if I take 10 paces, I know I've got 30 feet. 597 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,160 Gotcha. 598 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,120 And then I go play a golf course that I'm not familiar with, like I did on Monday. 599 00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,680 And now I've got a number in my head that I can associate with, okay, I've got 30 feet 600 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:36,680 for this hole. 601 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,760 And then on hole number two, I've got 27 feet. 602 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,120 And on hole number three, I've got 45 feet. 603 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:44,880 But you're starting to get a number associated with how hard you have to hit the golf ball. 604 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,880 Gotcha. 605 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,240 So I don't see that happening enough on the course. 606 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:52,360 I think people, I see people go up to the to the cup and they kind of think they know 607 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:53,360 what they're looking for. 608 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:54,800 Wow, I don't even see that. 609 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,960 I see them mark their ball and just look at it from down the line and they just putt away, 610 00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:04,240 you know, you know, they don't even get close to the hole until the ball gets there. 611 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,120 Yeah, yeah, it's so no, it's really, really true. 612 00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:07,120 You're right. 613 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:12,680 And whether it's, yeah, I think that you're right, like they're not putting the time and 614 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,500 almost diligence that they would with a driver maybe they think that it's, it's obviously 615 00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:19,000 just as much of a stroke. 616 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,080 It's just, they kind of give up on it. 617 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,480 It almost seems like just kind of a, you know, wish, wish it for to go in the hole where you, 618 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,520 you know, when you watch guys like Tiger and those guys, they're really analyzing that 619 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,840 putt, they're studying it and they're putting their hundred percent concentration into that. 620 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,120 I see most amateurs, they kind of on the green and they just kind of assume it's going to 621 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:38,120 be a two putt, right? 622 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:39,120 Right. 623 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:41,840 And they just kind of wave at it and it's going to be next to the hole and move along 624 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,800 and and they blew it, you know, 15 feet by the last one. 625 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,280 I'll give you a real quick and I know you only asked me for one, but as, um, is I would, 626 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:58,080 I would try to make all of our listeners, um, challenge all of our listeners to not 627 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,320 slow up play, but putt everything out. 628 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,320 Yes. 629 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,400 I want to know what your true score was. 630 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,400 Yeah. 631 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,360 I don't want to know that you picked up a four footer that tour players make a hundred 632 00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:14,200 percent of the time, but on our greens and our conditions and what we do, you're going 633 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,200 to miss those. 634 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,200 I don't want you to miss them. 635 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,200 No. 636 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,560 That's not the goal, but we need a true number of what you're actually shooting. 637 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,560 Absolutely. 638 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,800 And that's going to come into play when you start playing for money and people that, that 639 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:24,800 are going to make you putt out. 640 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,800 If you've been playing with a bunch of buddies that give you the old gimmies, that's good. 641 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,120 You know, I guarantee you when, when the pressure situation comes, that three footer is going 642 00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:33,560 to look like a nine footer to you. 643 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,560 Right? 644 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,560 I've missed them. 645 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:36,560 You miss them. 646 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:37,560 We all, we do. 647 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,560 We do. 648 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,560 I mean, I've missed one footers. 649 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,560 I've missed six inches before, you know, let's be honest. 650 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,920 Um, so, you know, putting your full concentration into it and making sure you focus on that, 651 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:46,920 I think is important. 652 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:47,920 Good stuff, man. 653 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:48,920 Good stuff. 654 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:49,920 All right. 655 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:50,920 So, Hey, we want to thank you for listening. 656 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,520 Um, we hope you, uh, are enjoying the content.
