But Mu that's, that's over a hundred yards dude, 30, 40 yards
to the left of that. Perfect.
I don't know my own strength. Oh, sorry.
Sav is on the ground. Hey everyone!, Shawn, Sav & Mu. And I bet you, many of you right now are
feeling very defective with your golf swings. You're thinking, why am I all arms How come my
weight shift Won't engage on time. And it feels like my whole downswing is discombobulated. Well,
this video is for you and you're going to see just how not defective you are and how a simple
task will engage your kinetic chain wonderfully and get you humming and no time stays with us.
Now of course, before we continue, we would love for you to be a part of wisdom in golf. So
please subscribe, leave a question or comment down below and give us a thumbs up,
and hit that bell. So you never miss any videos because your machine is a self-preserving machine.
All we're going to do right out of the gate. So many of you don't have a throwing arm. We're just
going to toss a ball. So imagine we're tossing a ball in a softball style motion, right Same
as bowling. So if I want to toss this ball in that direction from a side position, notice I wouldn't
do it like this. That's not going to go anywhere. So I'm going to take this ball and I'm going to
toss it this way and right away your brain out of self-preservation. So you don't hit yourself.
Your brain is going to go to the ground. It's going to use the ground to get your body out
of the way. Notice how that turns so that your arm has access to the target just by doing that,
you will engage that kinetic chain beautifully. So if we bring that up the line, let's say I was
skipping stones on water. So there's my pond. And I'm getting ready to skip the stone. You'll notice
the first thing the brain got to do is to get the ground. So it's skipping the stone and right away,
you're going to feel that engagement. You'll never throw with the arm. First. It'll collide
into your rib cage and you know, injure you. So how do we do that with a golf club So you
really need to do this and find a very safe spot? We're going to take some older clubs right here,
and I'm going to show you how to properly throw the club and then Sav and Mu
Are going to do the same thing. We'll see if Mu's club throwing has improved
since the last time. So if I take this club and I throw it that way,
notice the first thing my brains got to do is to get the ground.
Now, if I take it underhand, so I'm going to toss it underhand, look at this.
So the brain's got to do the same thing, engage the ground. Then I put both hands on the club
and I'm just getting ready to throw the club in that direction. So I need to have a very specific
direction. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to use a little intermediate point. I put a ball
down, or you're going to take an alignment rod, and you're going to set down an alignment rod
on the ground, as a righty, you're going to stay to the right side of that alignment rod.
So that way the club stays right there in front of you. Now, if we do the same thing with a golf club
if you were to throw the club in that direction and not let it go, what's going to happen.
Well, throw the club that way. And you notice how the brain engages gets out of the way the club
wants to come out of your hands over here. That would be the fastest point of the swing, but then
you don't let go. So what happens is the club is going to snap your trail hand over the lead hand,
and it's going to come back and wrap itself around it. So all I know I need to do now is have the
ball be in the way of that. So I get my setup and I'm going to hover my club above the ball here,
and I'm going to get ready and throw the club in that direction.
I predict that with the club hovering that way, I'm going to miss the ball. So here we go. Throw
yes. I threw to the right of my intermediate point and yes, I missed the ball by about that much.
So you get lower now. It feels like I'm going to top the ball if I throw it that way.
So I'm throwing it that way. Throw it that way. Perfectly top. Look at that big dent
in the ground right here. That's exactly what happens when you top the golf ball.
So then if I want solid contact, all I gotta do is go down that much more. So if I throw,
I miss, I throw my top, Hey, now it feels like the sole of the club is going to cut grass along
the ground. What's it feel like I throw in that direction Oh yeah. It feels like that.
And off the ball goes into the wild, blue yonder, beautiful golf shot. And you'll see
it on rap soda in a few minutes. All right. So when we're throwing something, we're engaging
the weight shift and the clearing of the body. And this is where so many of you,
get a little crazy because you're thinking, man, when is it that I shift the weight
And how much do I clear the hips by Cause you hear a lot of instructors say, well,
turn those hips through the shot. Well, how much do you do that By the only way you, your system
knows is if you have a target. So we give it an intermediate point right here. And we say, okay,
we're just going to throw to the right edge of that. And we're throwing down the range to the
right of that intermediate point. So now the brain says, yup, there it is. I need to get the ground,
use the ground to get out of the way. And I'm getting out of the way, just perfect to go there.
If I get out of the way too much. Now I just yanked myself out in front of the ball. Now I
got to hurry up and hit the ball before I miss it. And all of a sudden, we get this big can of worms
and you feel like you've got this defective right hand, defective, right shoulder, all
That stuff.
It's a good thing. You're not defective. All you need is that really key, you know, proper task. So
let's get Savin here and see what she's got. All right. Salve. Here's a little lefty club for you.
Do you want me to go Just do you want to do one overhead first Sure. All right.
So nice throw. How did you know when to let go Because I had a target, right And because
you had a target, your brain knew exactly when to let go here on what arc to get there. Right
So now let's see you do it. You could do it with your backhand. So for those of you
who are dominant lead hand, you're going to throw it like a Frisbee. Okay. Yeah.
Nice. Now lets you throw it with both hands.
Good throat. So if you were to, engage that a little bit more, cause I, you know,
you have a tendency to be a little lackadaisical about stuff sometimes.
So let's see, get into a, more of a throwing position, more athletic throwing position.
So many of you are getting set up right up here and yeah, you can throw it out there,
but can't throw it out there like an athlete. So we're going to get our glutes and quads
engaged. Yep. So let's see, engage that posture. Mr. CEO, can you look up, you're going to get one
through the head. Go ahead. Go ahead. So at that, get your posture there. Now you mean business
Yeah. Now did you feel how you use the ground to do that
Okay? So you see that last club that we have there. So let's see you throw it over that club.
Nice. So take a look at that engagement of the legs and for so many of you, when you're throwing
the club at first, make sure there's nothing behind you and nothing behind you that way,
because if you're used to throwing it at the ball, then what happens is the club's going
to pass your hands down here and then you let go and that sucker is going to be behind you. Yeah.
So it's very important that you throw the club in a way that, okay, I'm staying in that direction.
You give it a couple of rehearsals and then you take it out there. Right
All right. SAPs. Let's see what that looks like in a golf shop.
So do one above the ball. Give it a nice throw. Throw it farther. Give it a nice throat.
Yeah. All right. So lower it to the grass. I'll spare you the top shot. Yeah.
Now did you feel a little bit of strain on that one Yeah. So when you throw it out there, I want
you to feel like you're thrown out there with a two out of 10 for effort. Yeah. So that means
you can, you need to gather that throw a lot more, so really turn your, your backside to the target.
There it is. Right Yeah. So that was, I'm so glad you did that. That is really important because if
you're throwing carefully and you don't finish the backswing, you're not going to be able to engage
that kinetic chain properly. So one thing that people just don't realize and understand is that
the weight shift actually happens from behind you, not from, in front of you. So you'll notice as
we get to the top of that backswing, you'll see. Savannah's turn. And then, because she's turning
on the inside of that back foot and turning fully, she has immediate access to that front leg.
Okay. And this is something that really helped move, you know, go from hitting it the same
distance as me last year, which I was almost okay with to blow them by me by three full clubs, which
I still need a psychologist for. Just kidding. I'm so happy for moot. Alright.
So really finished that backswing gathering.
Oh, man. That's a throw Sav. Wait. Okay. All right. So come on over here, stay to the right
of that alignment rod. And let's see you throw a, just to the left of the academy building. Okay.
Better, better. You don't have to throw it so far that I have to walk. You know what I mean I
appreciate that. Oh, that's perfect. That's perfect. Both hands now. Okay. Well done.
but that's, that's over a hundred yards dude.
30, 40 yards to the left of that. Perfect. I don't know my old Frank. Oh, sorry to tell him.
Sav is on the ground and this is, this is so typical. This is, that was hilarious. But this
is so typical when we ask our students and you remember that video we did on, gently drive your
ball 300 yards. And you know, still to this day, we get so many hits on that. We have we're over
600,000 hits on that video and people are just not believing it. And it's like when you engage that
kinetic chain, it is truly unstoppable. That's it that's moves kinetic chain. This guy's a Ferrari.
Right. You went ahead and threw it in that direction. And when that kinetic chain engaged,
it was no stopping it. It was gone. Yeah. And you see that with quarterbacks when they're going for
a pass and they get the ball knocked out of their hands. That arm keeps going, that's it Yeah.
So it's the same thing here. So let's say we take a six iron. So we're going to go the left
edge of that left edge of the academy building back to the building. Correct. Perfect. So do
one above the ball. Pretend you're throwing the club in that direction, but don't let go.
See that was careful. Yeah. I was just, you can turn it on now. Right,
So you remember when threw the club Yeah. The intensity you had. That's what I want you.
This is so key. Right, This is really good because I see this all the time.
So, so you got the ball there. That's fine. You're going to throw the club now with the
same intensity. You just threw that last club. Okay. So feel like you're
going to throw that club a couple of hundred yards down the, down the range there easily.
Good. So that was a two out of 10 for effort. Yeah. Beautiful. So lower the club to the grass.
Make your prediction. If you make the same throw is the dandy line stem in your way. Yeah.
Good. Same throw hall. See ya. That was still in the air landing about the now gorgeous shot.
And then look at the perfect divot, right Yeah. Get this beautiful little bacon strip divot in
that direction. That's exactly what you're looking for. So do some throwing of golf balls, start with
throwing balls, then feel like you're throwing some golf balls from underneath. If you don't
have a throwing arm, don't worry, toss some balls and then toss some balls from a golfing position.
And you'll really feel how that body has to get out of the way. Right. But I need you to
throw some clubs. You need a safe place. You need some old steel-shafted worn-out
grip clubs that won't stick to your hands. As they're coming out, don't do graphite because
they splinter and they break very easily, and make sure you've got a safe place to do that.
Okay. We don't want anything to happen to you. So you get the feel of throwing the club out there,
film yourself when you feel that you're actually throwing the club in the right direction,
film yourself, and watch how brilliant you look on video and how deep your lag is
as you're throwing it out there. And you'll be, you'll be calling us up at wisdom in
golf and saying, Hey, that really worked. We really appreciate you have a great week. Okay.
