Todays lesson will be separated into 3 parts
the first is
is a crucial precondition that comes before
the main part, the 2nd part
and then the third is
after you've learned these motions
what feel will you have in an authentic situation
how you will
perfect the motion with a sense or feeling
the first, precondition
let's get into a setup position
proceed to the top of your backswing
as you commence
your weight should be on your right leg
sometimes, when you overswing
there are instances where your weights transfers back to your left leg
and here is when a lot of "mis-shots" occur
the flow of your body weight is not smooth
so, you must notice that your weight is transferred onto your right leg
but today, in a different way
we will perfect this weight transfer
the feeling of weight
removed from your left leg
try feeling like you're releasing strain on your left leg
if your weight is released from here
it can't go anywhere else
but to naturally shift to your right
a different method of approach
good
and if you're thinking about your left leg
after that, during the conversion process, you'll need to perform a squatting motion with your left knee afterwards
so with this left knee alone
you can complete your backswing and the conversion process
you can think of it like this
let's try from the start
here, as you backswing
following the rotations
your hips must rotate well
and your shoulders will too
lets try
you release strength from your left leg and then squat as you converse and transfer to the next part of your swing
as you commence, you arms lightly falls
because this occurs naturally
there is no need to think too hard about it
just think about that one leg
this is all the precondition
after that
lets try hit the ball first
if the flow of weight transfer is good
if the conversion from your backswing to your down is good
you can improve significantly with this
lets practice once
that's right
how was that
because im sensing the weight being released from my left leg
transferring my weight to my right feels much easier
when you perform your backswing
your backswing and downswing feels connected
because you feel the transition by only using the one left leg
although it is also important to practice shifting your weight to your right leg
if your weight is not on your left leg, it's on your right
and you only need to think about one thing later
now*
let's try
feels a lot more simple
weight is released
exactly, certainty
certain rhythm of weight shifting
you can create that flow
it feels like it's a lot simpler
let's try once more
good
feel the shift in weight in my left leg
feels like strain, weight is leaving your left leg
next, left knee squat
then you hit the ball
create this certain flow in weight shifting
good
be ready to hit the ball
and then the motion of impact
from your downswing. to the impact, to the follow through
I will explain a very important part of the swing
its your right rib
right, right rib?
yes, right rib
you've commenced to here
you were focusing on your left leg
as you extend this leg
you rotate your hip, and you've practiced this motion a lot
and because we're keeping this left leg in mind
it is very likely that this reaction will occur
high chance for rotation
so, now focus on your right rib
it's your upper body
ground reaction force
the source of strength created in your lower body,
that strength transfers up your upper body, to your arms, and into the clubhead
you mustn't skip this part
when we swing, lower body, upper body, arms - they're all important
okay
you cannot complete a swing without any one of these
so, I'm telling you this important piece that is your upper body
your right rib
after your backswing
when rotating as your spine as the axis
powerfully pushes in
here
then your arms will naturally follow
there's no need to think about your arms
your arms will follow
i hope they do
you practiced this connection alot
yes i did
lets try once
we did indeed practice
practice first
good
as you down swing, think of your right rib
yes, your right rib
your thinking of this area
how do you think of this area?
it's rotating
you could say its pushing towards the ball like this
rotate your rib towards the ball...
your rib mustn't move down
then you'll end up with a push ball
but that doesn't mean to cover up like this
so, with your spine as the axis
it feels like its rotating and pushing in
rotate with your spine as the axis
alright good
your hips will rotate, and rotate until the finish
I'll try once
with nothing in the way
yes, that's what happens
strength builds up in your lower body
as your upper body amplifies this strength
amplifies?
and this is transferred to your arms - this theory
that's good
because we're utilizing our whole body, as well as ground reaction force
you can create your longest shot
how good would that be
let's think of that and try
okay good
how was that
i did think about rotating my rib
that's right, lets keep trying
once you set up, focus on your left leg
okay
if you've released the weight and transitioned
think of your right rib afterwards
let's try
that's right
that went well
this is really good
kind of feels like this upper body is twisting
that's right
your body needs to rotate like that
however, just because this area is important
if you forget about the flow in your lower body
and just think about this
because your focusing on your upper body right after your backswing
you could collapse
the swing becomes too upper body focused
and because the strength from your lower body
and from ground reaction force is skipped
the ball won't travel very far
you only just use your body
if you bring it down, then a pushball occurs
and if you collapse, the ball travels to the left
this isn't very good either
that would be a catastrophe
so, this is indeed important
however your mustn't forget about this
you must rotate as you perform this motion
that's right
goodjob
it isn't over yet
there's another very important part
there's more?
you're following very well
where were we up to?
practicing in steps
rotate your ribs well
what did we do first?
the weight shifting away from your left leg, then back into your left
we were up to here? i only thought about that step
keep practicing that
you must shift your weight well
yeah, so once you've practiced full so that this is ready
make sure it's working well and normally
then you practice your upper body
ribs
so
first as you setup, left leg
think about your left leg
ribs as you make hit the ball
rotate your ribs well
power will occur automatically
power is created/amplified through rotation of the rib
but after your backswing
if you lower your rib straight away, this can be blocked
for us, we practiced previously
and because we're already having motion in our lower body
it opens up due to the flow
if you rotate your ribs right after your backswing
it may not open up
you must have motion in your lower body
we've come to this point
come up, now lastly
do we have to focus on another part
we will complete the swing
when you do this
keep your wrists soft, your arms soft almost like jelly, try
but don't let go of your club
let's try hit as relaxed as jelly
but keep a firm grip
let's say that we have already practiced having a firm grip
let go
transition
then now your ribs are inside
here is soft
if your wrists are relaxed
what happens is
this rib
because all this is connected to your hands
if this grabs your arms and goes firmly
because your clubhead is not a part of your body
it will have trouble following
feels staggering
that's elasticity
that is lagging
the more lagging happens, the further the shot will go
so this lagging must be created
that staggering feel
create lagging from a soft relaxed wrist
feels like its slipped behind
feels that
then what happens
first, create flow in your lower body
backswing and transition
second is rotate your hit a sense of moving inwards
and lastly, if this motion succeeds
from a soft relaxed wrist
you feel that your clubhead is lagging behind a little
the more you feel the lagging
the further the ball will travel
elasticity is created
let's try once
that's right
because you're trying to hit it far, doesn't mean you need to hit it hard
must develop lagging
with soft arms
that's right
that's good
are you ready
should I demonstrate first
yes yes, demonstrate that feel
I am in a scenario where I must hit the ball far
you can input strength
arms soft and relaxed like jelly
arms are jelly
they're not strained
next, your lower body flow must be what
flow must be smooth
wow
travels well
It did go quite far
didn't try too hard
but the ball still travelled quite far
I think so too
goes very far
arms relaxed softly
knee, this leg, you feel the the weight being released first
wow, the ball seems to be shooting to the sky
this time, let's try hit it very very far
then you must have your arms as soft and relaxed as possible
significant lagging of your clubhead
think of that
let's add elasticity
wow
goes very well
good shot
the higher intensity of lagging, the further the ball travels
your body is very light
it doesn't have anything like (forced movement)
I want to be that light too
lets try once
lightly and elegantly far..
all you need to do is master these three things
although the other detailed movements are required also
those things will already be in place
I hope they are
they should be
trust that and think of these three things
lets try once
there's a little heavy feel
how did you know? my arms felt very heavy
(what you want) staggered and a release
staggered and the clubhead will have a delay
no mater how fast the hands reach the impact area
the clubhead cannot follow
so the release timing is delayed
however, as the clubhead falls
your not trying to forcefully slow down the clubhead
then there will be no speed
because its unnatural and forced
so, like I explained earlier, due to the relaxed soft wrists
if the clubhead feels staggered
release timing will be taken care of
and because of this elasticity from a delayed impact to a release, there's an acceleration
and it feels like a thrown motion
what i explained today, there are many implied steps
is that so
You must perfect it
let try
that's right, good
is that a little lighter
yeah, it must be light
must be light
that's right
wow really
every ball that's hit
is incredible
make it your own when you have the feel to you
yes, wow this one is really
nothing but wow's
that may have been the best shot you've ever hit
lets try again
the more i try, the more can feel the jelly feel in my relaxed wrists
and you used your whole body for the shot
this is no joke wow
wow
the more i hit, the more i get surprised
every shot is a good shot
wow
the sound of a good impact and shot
you're so good
I'll give you a few more because you're hitting so well
wow
just hit the ball like this
same thing for the iron
oh really
release, press
wow good shot
that was cool
good job
