And you'll notice that the first move down is this awesome squat.
Why is that squat been such a factor in tiger swing He's
never lost that one. And he was criticized heavily by a lot of commentators for saying,
look at his head, drop in the downswing. He should be maintaining his levels. So,
Hey everyone, Shawn, Clement here, and a special edition for this week. How exciting is this
seeing tiger woods walking around the gusts of national, and there's an amazing special
that's going to happen tonight? And we wanted to give you a sneak peek because the footage
from when he was six years old is such a golden opportunity to learn for everyone.
And it's something that we've been teaching here at wisdom and golf for the last 25 years.
And so in the teaching end of things, we kind of got lost for a while. And now we're back
with a vengeance because we understand what ground forces are when you see tiger right here, age six,
you'll notice that ground forces he already had. So first things first, one of the things that was
kind of taught a little bit out of tiger was to resist the backswing with his lower body.
But notice that each six, he wasn't doing that in the backswing. You'll notice the lead leg
is coming in, almost behind the ball there where he's turning his whole backside
to the target. Now there was some really awesome footage of Rory McIlroy at age nine,
with the same exact backswing. If you look at so many young, you know, from a toddler age of two
through the age of seven or eight, when there is no instruction in there is just simply imitation.
Like when Phil started out, you'll notice that the whole kinetic chain engages
you'll actually see tiger using his legs in the back swing to gather a full
back swing. So he's turning his whole backside to the target. That's rib cage and pelvis,
where now he's fully turned. And you'll notice that the first move down is this awesome squat.
Why is that squat been such a factor in tiger swing?
He's never lost that one. And he was criticized heavily by a lot of commentators by saying,
look at his head drop in the downswing. He should be maintaining his levels. So he went through five
different coaches with five different sets of swing positions, but he is now back. If you look
at his swing this week and you compare that swing to when he's age six, that's the closest he's been
to that swing in a very, very long time. And this is what's so exciting, right Because he had to
learn to listen to his body. He's got back fusion. Now he's had several diskectomy keys. So he has to
let the hips turn in the backswing now. And that is what's allowing him to get a better transition
into his kinetic chain in the downswing. So let's look at how we deliver into the target,
because if you look at that, six-year-old swing, no thinking there, it was all target.
He had to get as close to that flag, stick as possible if not in the hole. So if I go to the
top of that backswing, and let's say, I want it to take this club and throw it in the direction
of the target. Well, the first thing my brain would need to do is go get the ground. I just
lowered myself with both legs and now the brain can use the ground to get my body out of the way.
So there's a, a turning effect here. And then when I'm exploding out toward the target, I'm extending
through the ball and into the picture. You're going to see Joaquin Neiman do this extremely
well. So when you watch the professionals on tour, think about what the purpose of that swing is.
That purpose is to deliver action in the direction of the target and not to hit the ball.
So if you look at Tiger's head position, now they're special. You'll see Rory, Tommy Fleetwood,
Joaquin Neiman basically the vast majority of all the professionals out there on tour
worldwide. You'll notice there's a deepening of that tilt in the downswing. So nice full
backswing. And then in the downswing, as the, as the the goal, the go to the ground happens,
then you'll notice the head, start to look like it's tilting back.
That's the access to the target. If I reverse tilt the head forward,
then I would project everything into the ground and bury the club in the ground.
So when you see somebody out on the driving range like this over the ball, you know, their attention
is not missing the ball. Be careful, watch out, and make sure you hit the ball. Whereas
intuitively because the money's over there in pro golf, you need to deliver toward the target.
So when I'm delivering towards the target, you'll notice the head position is very different.
Now I can collect the ball from here and release the ball in that direction towards the target.
That is exactly like, imagine I was a lumberjack. There's my tree. I'll grab my seminar in here.
So if I want it to down this tree, I would set up behind the tree. Now I'm going to take the club
here and I'm going to heave it back. So notice when I heaved the ax back, I don't heave it into
my head. I don't freeze the lower body. I actually need the legs to heave the arm club unit into the
backswing. And therefore I'm going to come up. Many of the top teachers now are telling you, you
need to come up in the backswing. If you're going to do the ground forces properly in the downswing.
So we heave it up and everything is floating up. And now I'm going to deliver this
through the tree. That's through the tree. Now, if I wanted to split wood,
I would deliver my ax through the center of the tree this way. So I would
swing it way inside and come over the top to split the wood. This is how I would use a very heavy ax.
Otherwise, I'd split my hands and then I'd set up right over the stump here. He was straight up in
the air and go straight down. So when those of you are coming over the top, that's because the
golf ball is your target. And as soon as you start moving towards the ball, you'll get out in front.
Now you got to hurry up and hit the ball before you miss it. Whereas when I'm Downing my tree,
I'm always staying behind because I'm moving the ax through the tree.
That way, it's the same thing with the golf swing. Now, imagine if this was a dandy line in disguise,
and I'm going to take the sole of the club and clip through the dandelion stem. So if I'm going
into, I've got I'm at Glen Abbey here, a nice golf course that tiger has done really well at.
So I'm going to take the tip of the tee. I'm going to send it over that intermediate point
into my picture. So I'm going to use some momentum to deliver through the tip of that
T into the direction that is just left edge. I'm playing a nice little fade here into that picture.
Nice finish right down the middle. So my attention was out there. It was definitely not over here.
So for those of you who have a negative angle of attack with the driver, well, that's simple to do.
This is me going towards the target and that's me going toward the ball. So when
I'm going down and across that, ball's going to balloon like crazy. It's got way too much spin
where, because I'm catching that one on the way up. Notice my backspin's at 2000 RPM
and look at my launch angle, 18 degrees. I got a nine degree driver.
So my angle of attack is upwards by seven to nine degrees, which really allows me to get
a lot of carry for the speed that I have. So my club had speeds at about 110, 112, and I get
really maximized distance from that. So when I'm delivering through an out, I optimize my numbers.
When I'm delivering at the ball, then I minimize my numbers. I'm really going to struggle.
I'm going to struggle to keep it in play. And I'm going to struggle with distance. I'm
not going to get the that. So if you feel that you're severely under distance with your swing,
you know, go check out our driver videos and see how you're going to optimize your numbers
to really maximize your efforts with the driver minimum effort, maximum yield. Okay.
So we gather a full backswing. So here's a nice drill for you to achieve a full back swing,
the way a six-year-old tiger does we hold the club upside down like a sword with the lead hand.
Imagine you have a bamboo shoot that you're about to slice through. So I set myself up to get
through the shoot, and notice where my head is. If I do this, I'm just shaving bark into the ground.
So I set myself up, gather my backswing, and I'm going to whip through
that bamboo shoot in that direction. So you see how that works.
I give myself a little more room from that curtain here. So turn the whole backside to the target
so I can use some nice momentum to slash through in the direction that I want to go. So when I
get that full gathering and I want to slash that way, the brain's got to go get the ground,
use the ground to get my body out of the, so I have access out there. So notice in my, in
the split screen here, how this is happening with my action. So you could do it with the lead hand
or the trail hand that should say gather slash through. Then you put both hands on the club,
gather slash through, or take a look at our throwing videos.
So take a look at throwing the club. Sean, Clemett make sure you have a very safe place to do this.
Watch the video entitled, throw the club straight,
Shawn Clement. So when you're throwing the club in the direction that you want it to go,
you'll maintain all of these wonderful elements that you see in the six-year-old old tiger woods.
So when you watch the show tonight, like I am, I can't wait to see it. this is what we want you to
look for because you can really learn a ton from this golf swing here, because that swing is pure.
It's built on pure. Self-preservation relying on the ability to find a target. He's not worried
about the ball he's going towards the target and that he learned from, you know, age two. So by the
time he's six years old, it's trapped and the rest is all about, you know, learning how to manage
his game for the best scoring possible. That's where we want to get you as fast as possible.
So hope you enjoyed this amazing, you know, insight on a six-year-old tiger woods. And I'm,
there's a lot of you out there. Many of you have some kids right now at that age, and they've got
that swing already. So I want to make sure you don't teach those beautiful moves out of them.
I want you to nurture those moves and get them to where they need to go. All right. All the best.
