to see if we can gain 30 yards extra off the tee,
wouldn't that be nice?

Okay, Andy, how are you?
- Yes, I'm perfectly fine. Thank you.
- Good, good. Now, if you didn't see the last episode,
we took Andy really through the initial numbers.
Got your sort of base numbers, what your speed was.
We did a little bit of coaching on his golf swing.
He was having a little bit of,
let's say, out of sync backswing.
How has it been for you the last couple of weeks,
from the technical stuff to the speed stuff?
- Backswing feels solid now.
Been drilling that in, feels good.
Swing path still feels too far to the left for me,
I'm seeing more of a left to right shape at the moment.
- Okay.
- Speed definitely seems to be creeping up
in small increments at the moment,
but it feels easier to get higher speeds now,
even after two weeks.
- Good, good. And we'll see in a minute,
he's done some great work on the golf swing.
It's definitely looking different,
but what we're gonna do in today's session
is look at the speed first,
then get into the golf swing again,
see if we can really advance that on a little bit.
And then we're gonna wear him out again
with the SuperSpeed protocol.
He's had his pre-workout ready today.
He was tired after the last one,
but he's ready for the challenge.
So let's kick off, let's get some numbers,
let's hit a few shots and just see where we're at.
I think that's the next one.
So fire a few away, we're on the 15th at the Astbury.
Drivable par four, is it in danger today?
(club swinging)
Yeah, a little bit dry.
- Beautiful.
- That's nice. It split the fairway, that one.
Okay. Let's have a little look at the data.
So Andy, first of all, can you remember
what your average speed was last session?
- 96.
- 96. Okay.
- 98.8.
- 98.8, so yeah, we're pretty close tonight.
It's a three mile per hour.
- Yep.
- That's that's a good increase so far.
- If you can do that consistently throughout,
then that's really good.
- So, three mile and a half faster, really good.
Couple of things what we're going to look at,
just give me the, the path, Pierce, on this.
Cause you mentioned about the path being a little left
and a little fade-y,
will you just give me the path numbers on this average path?
- Club path average is 5.5 degrees to the left.
- 5.5. So that's going to cause this sort of fade,
and that's what we're going to work on today, really.
Now, here's what we're going to do today.
And we'll go through the next sort of stage
in what we're going to really look at
from a technique, a technical aspect.
So I'm happy with what you've done first of all.
But if we take a look here now,
the club is way outside,
above the plane.
- [Andy] Yeah. - On the way back quite a lot.
- [Andy] Mm-hmm.
- And that's probably gonna to happen
because of what we've done.
- [Andy] Yup.
- And then because of this now on the way down,
watch, we're gonna see the club swing down
pretty much in the same spot
of where you swung on the way back.
So at the moment, we've just got a golf swing
that's above the plane on the way back,
and above the plane on the way down.
If we can change that today,
that's what's going to affect the path.
When the club head, sorry,
when the club shaft gets parallel to the ground,
we want the club to be parallel to the target line.
Now yours at the moment, he's out here pointing across.
So what we're really going to do first of all today
is just change the swing shape a little bit,
and see if we can affect the path
and get rid of some of the inconsistencies.
We saw a big dispersion of
of accuracy there, - [Andy] Yeah.
- But this will also affect the speed as well.
I just want you to tell me how this feels now.
So I'm just gonna swing back.
What does this feel like to you?
- It feels inside.
Okay, now here's your checkpoint, and this is the key thing.
Your club now is parallel to the ground,
but it's also parallel to your feet and target line,
but it feels way behind you there, yeah?
Okay, let's do that again.
This is great for you when you're practicing at home,
swing back, all you want to really see
is that the club head is in line
with the hands at this point.
Instead of before we were a little out here,
and that's going to cause us to swing more across the ball
on the way down.
So now you're really bringing in the arms,
shoulders, hips, and everything together.
And seeing that the club is now what we call on plane,
and now we can just continue to rotate,
there you go.
And then you're done.
Can't fail from that.
(laughter)
I wish it was that easy.
And now you're just going to keep your eyes down,
just swing back to me nice and slow.
Have a look.
So this is where your checkpoint needs to be for yourself.
When the club's parallel, you can rehearse that yourself.
Good, and again.
And notice when Andy's doing this now,
the arms and body are working together, look.
And compared to where he was last session,
it's night and day. And again, a couple more times.
- It's almost like last session as well,
Andy was placing it there almost, wasn't he,
he was just like, just putting the club there.
- Exactly, yeah.
And again. - Not using his body.
- A little bit of hip turn.
There we go. Have a look at that.
So now he's starting to ingrain this.
He's got the checkpoint for himself.
Really nice.
Let's have a couple of swings back and through.
Okay, so the swing's shape now is totally different.
Good.
- It's amazing as well.
We're looking obviously to gain 30 yards through this plan,
but if we can't get you on plane
and we can't get the face squared up, you know,
those are the things that were really going to rob you.
- Yeah.
- We can get you to swing it as fast as you can,
but if we can't get you lined up from a plane
and a face point of view, you're really gonna struggle.
- Okay, let's have a few shots then,
let's get this one away and that's just start
to get a feel of where we need to be.
And you know, you'll see people
like Justin Thomas, Ricky Fowler,
they have this little pre rehearsal
before they hit the shots.
And it's just to do exactly what you're doing ,
just a checkpoint to know that they're on plane
and in place.
Cause that first part of the back swing
really makes a big difference.
- Good.
- Yeah. It was more of just a push that one, wasn't it?
It wasn't really like a slice.
- Paths different.
Already?
- Yep.
- I like it.
We're just building Andy up here
for that SuperSpeed training session shortly.
He's just getting going, getting going.
- Real big drive there.
That was much better height on that one.
Beautiful flight, beautiful flight.
Little high on that one.
- Yeah. As we did in the first session as well,
it's important to keep sort of spraying the face,
if you're doing this yourself, to monitor the strikes.
Me and Andy can tell from the ball fly,
that one there, we know the strike was off,
but make sure you keep monitoring that ball striking
on the face with the spray. - Good, now line up.
- Yeah, I mean that club path is getting a lot closer
to where we want it now.
1.2 left on that one. So it's getting a lot closer.
- 1.2 Left, okay.
Let's have a little look at the swing then here.
And this is important,
so we've gone from 5.5 to 1.2 left there.
- Yeah.
- Big difference on that speed was still up there, Pierce?
- Speed was still yeah, it was a little low.
It was a little, it was 97, that was,
so maybe just try to work at the movements
and get those nailed in. - Yeah.
- So, and and what we're going to start to see here
is that the club is still a little left.
It's still over slightly, but now we're in a better position
on the way back.
Watch. Just notice what we do here.
Notice now the club head is in line with the hands
you can see on the screen here, guys,
clubs in line with the hands,
and then as we swing the club away,
now we've got the club,
now look,
moving much more around on, on the arc, on plane.
Now on the way down, look,
we still have this slightly steep across,
but it's a lot less than it was.
Again, this is something we can look at a little bit more
on the, on the final session,
but now you're in a place
where you are not making compensations.
Good move away.
Good in sync back swing.
And we are definitely
a little bit more neutral on the path there.
Perfect sense?
- [Andy] Yep.
- Okay. Are you ready?
- [Andy] As I'll ever be.
(laughter)
- He's ready for some SuperSpeed.
You know what?
You've made some great increase
already three mile mile an hour.
It's going to be interesting to see what we get
after the three sessions total really.
- [Andy] Yeah.
- Okay Andy, so I've had the week off this week,
but I've specifically come back to make sure we beast you
with this SuperSpeed training.
So obviously you've seen from the first session,
we're gonna use the three weighted clubs.
We're gonna go through the,
the first level protocol as well.
We're going to go through the whole lot.
If you are interested in SuperSpeed click the link in the
description and make sure you take advantage of the discount
that you get only by watching these videos.
Right, we've got FlightScope in here,
if you can swing in this area here.
So same as before, it's exactly the same training.
So there's three as fast as you can.
Right-handed
- And this is the lightest one,
is it Pierce? - Normal swing.
This is the lightest one, yes.
Green light is blue.
- And now we've got a new swing shape to
combine with this. - Yeah.
- I love it.
- 115.8.
That's not fast enough.
(laughter)
That was better. 119.9
I think 127 is where you maxed out last time.
- Okay, come on, man. You got it, you got this.
- 119.9.
- Come on.
- 124, right, left-handed now.
- Ramp it up.
- Carnage on the tee now.
- Okay, now don't let go of the club
and kill Sean over there.
(laughter)
- Well, it is Friday the 13th.
(laughter) We don't need one more thing to happen.
- He's actually moved
(upbeat music)
- I'd love to have to have the WHOOP data on this.
- It would be great wouldn't it?
- just see what his heart rate's doing right now.
- [Andy] I can tell you.
(laughter)
- He could tell us.
- I could hear it, to be fair.
- Left-handed now, left handed.
Put him off there and we need 115.4.
So back up just a little bit more.
- Yeah, we can't make him laugh.
- There you go.
Come on.
(upbeat music)
- Okay. So heavy one now.
Nice.
Look, I love the plane there.
- Swing looks good. - Swing looks really nice.
- The swing, shape now looks really nice.
- Ah, come on I can see his face then grimacing,
growl at it.
Oh, it was that fast.
It didn't get that one might have just missed it.
That's okay.
Left-handed now with that one.
- Nice 92.
Right, faster.
- Come on we can get to 100 on this.
- Over 95.
- 100 on this, go.
- 98.1, come on you got it.
- 104.9, there we go.
So there's something in there.
So obviously you figuring out the technique left-handed
is still something that's gotta be
- [Andy] Yeah I think so.
- Okay, happy Gilmores.
No, not happy Gilmores.
Thunder steps, steps.
Thunder steps.
(upbeat music)
- Better, 116.8.
(Whistle) Lovely left-handed.
(Upbeat music)
- Yeah, that was good, real good.
- 117.5. Very nice.
Okay. Let's go the blue.
Middle weight.
(upbeat music)
- Nice.
- 106.9, that's pretty good.
- That is that's good.
- 102.5.
(Whistle)
- Okay.
- Always, I always say whenever
you get a real low number like that one,
it's like, come on, get it going.
- It's a good job it's not warm today.
- It's roasting now. It really is warm.
That was nice.
103.
Come on. Let's skip that 104 and go to 106.
- I think you had a go with that one.
Oh, I didn't quite get that one, it missed it. That's fine.
That's okay. Right.
- Left-handed with the heavy.
- Yeah.
I was hoping you'd missed that.
- Yeah, sorry, not finished now.
(laughter)
(upbeat music)
- 105.6, right?
Three more normal. - Normal swings.
- You got to 127, I think it was, the best on this one.
- Yeah.
- Let's see what you got.
- 120.5 Lovely.
Come on.
Good start.
118.5.
- Come on then, come on.
- Step on it
- Last one, last one. - One over 120.
119.2
- It's amazing to see as well.
It's amazing to see the ground.
Well done. The ground, look at the ground
and this is what to generate power,
we need to use the feet and you look at some of the things
that he's doing that we're going speed,
he's using the lower body,
he's really, and I mean it just wakes everything up there.
So great work there.
- Awesome stuff. - You can have a lie down now.
- You can have a lie down, yeah.
