Hey everyone, Shawn and Sav! And today we have an awesome episode. We're going to show you the
minimum you need to hit that 300-yard drive. And Sav is the perfect example for that.
She's swinging between 105 and 108 miles an hour. And it, you know, you'll really get to see the
launch conditions, contact, spin, and all the good stuff that you need to get that 300-yard drive.
And when you practice that, you just become really good at your numbers. And when you do that,
obviously you're going to be a much better driver of the golf ball. And then, so I'll show you
after, you know, I'll try to put it over the edge. I'm nursing a little bit of an injury right now.
I'm swinging 110. So you'll see, you know, just a couple more miles an hour, what that does for you.
And I want to show you a couple of awesome drills at the end on how to pick up
some easy club, head speed from where you are. You don't want to miss the show.
Hey everyone, Shawn and Sav! And today we're going to show you how to 300 yards wouldn't you love to
do that. This girl can do it. We need about 107 miles per hour. Right now you're at about 105 and
you're 106. The launch conditions have to be good, so right. She hits it about seven degrees upwards.
You hit just above the equator of the clubface. Keep that spin down, keep that launch up about
15 degrees, and launch. And we should have some excellent stuff happening right here. So Savannah
just got her new, regular flex 50 a gram shaft from Kuro Kage. And, she finds it a lot easier to
swing to get those speeds. It doesn't have to work as hard because she just a little bitty thing, 125
pounds, you know So yes, she's got the speed to, that you would normally prescribe a stiff shaft,
but because her muscle mass is not as dense as let's say a man's muscle mass, she needs something
that's a little easier to achieve. So she finds, she doesn't have to work as hard with the
Kurokage shaft. It says you say it as it swings itself. Yeah. So let's see a couple of drives.
All right. Good launch. Still in the air. All right. Opening drive at 292 yards, baby. All
right. Let's have a look at that. Let's observe. Okay. So we got center hit.
Oh, I'm sorry.
So we got a nice angle, a nice path from the inside faces only 0.3 closed six degrees
upright in the center of the face 2100 spins. So there are 106 miles an hour,
270 yards carry, 290 yards total. Good, good start AF
Oh yeah, that was
Drawn right back the centerline.
Hey, another 290-yard drive. We're almost there. We're almost there.
Excellent. Now you're stamping at right above the equator. 106 miles.
Good.
Good. I think you may have it here. Yeah. You got it. There it is. All right. Right.
That felt like terrible contact too. It won't notice it hit the top of the clubface. Yeah.
And that killed the spin. So you actually added, so, freeze it on that, 108 miles per hour.
How about that see comes,
There you go. So 7.5 degrees up, but because you caught it,
you know, high on the face, it killed the spin. Notice the spins that F you know, blessing 1500,
the path was amazing. And because your speed was almost at 108 miles an hour,
there you go on a 301-yard drive and it's playable and it's playable. Yeah. You find
that you'll find that right in the center of the fairway. So notice how we're hovering between
285 yards and 295 yards on a consistent basis. And that's what you've been playing with lately,
and you're finding it easier to do with this particular shaft. So, and for me,
I'm nursing a little bit of an injury right now with my knee. My club, speed's been 1 0 9, 1 10.
That should put us over the edge. Yeah. Let's see what happens. So the old guy needs a little bit
more of a narrow stance to protect that knee. So I'm doing a modified diagonal narrow stance here,
Low on the face to start 110 miles an hour.
That was a nice throw. So
You'll notice now on hitting the ball, the same distance as you Sav on your average,
but because I hit that a little low let's look at what happens
So low on the face on five and a half up the spin rate went up to 2500rpms. Okay. The spin
rate is a little high right there at 2,500. And, and the efficiency's a little bit low.
So let's see what happens when we get that in the center of the clubface.
That should be pretty, gosh, darn good. 111 miles an hour.
here we go. There is 308 yards and so very accurate right in the center of the grain
eh Sav? So see that the contact just slightly above the equator,
2 85 carry and Lotus a spin rate now is at 2200.
So the Angle of attack. Yeah. So I had a 8.3 degree up and my look at that launch 16 degrees.
So high launch, low spin with that kind of speed. We'll get you over 300 yards comfortably
every time. So let's look at a couple of easy drills here that are gonna help you out. And,
so the first one I want to show you is you take your club upside down, imagine it's a sword, and
you've got a bamboo shoot here that you want to slash through. So you're going to gather the sword
and give it a good slash so you'll feel how the weight of the sword is releasing you.
So we're never trying to place the club for all of you trying to stick, handle it down the fairway,
you're removing so much club speed. When you're doing that, what you want to feel is absolute
abandoned. So if the trail hand is releasing this way, the lead hand has to yield. So if I take
the club and my lead hand, be careful when you do this at first, because
for most of you you'll have a tendency to hang on to it
and you'll hurt your shoulder in the process. So let's start with a couple of nice little releases.
It's exactly the same as a topspin backhand in ping-pong. So we're just releasing the
back of the hand over the top of the ball, and we're allowing the weight of the club
to do that. So notice how that elbow has to snap down for the hand to turn over.
So if you're trying to hit the ball and you're not allowing the body to move toward the target,
the trail hand gets stuck here, and the lead arm is going to chicken wing, right That
chicken wing that is going to really SAP a lot of speed. So when we're looking for that release
out here toward the target, you're looking for the whistling of the club
here, that, so when you put the club on the, you know, in your hands,
imagine you're playing baseball now, and you're going to hit a baseball over the pitcher's head.
Notice how the weight of the bat turns you over. So if you've played baseball before you understand
what that release feels like, so really important to let that go. So now, if I put the tee in here
and what we're going to do is we're going to
take the tip of the tee and we're going to snap it out toward the target. So listen to the sound,
See that. So no holds barred, we're just gathering and snapping the tip of the tea in the direction
that we want the ball to go. So if I do that towards you notice that release here. So I'm
snapping the tee in that direction. I'm never trying to place or guide the club. So that's
number one. Number two is something that Savannah really acquired in the latter part of this year.
She really knows how to use her legs to perform that specific task. And I'm going to show you
a really neat little drill here that we're going to do in the next week
Video with Mu.
And you really don't want to miss that, that episode. So you see that paintbrush
at the end of my club. So imagine I'm taking some water, some paint
in that brush, and I'm going to spray the target with it, not the ball. I'm never
trying to hit the ball or with the energy toward the ball. I want to take the paint from here,
and I want to send it out toward the target. And we have a really cool tool that we use called
the swing catty, right from swing impact. We've had this in our schools
for the longest time and sad. I want you to give it a quick demo for everyone. So you see inside
this there's a little chamber that's magnetic and the magnet as you give it, some G-Force,
the magnet gets pulled away from the socket here. So let's see, do a little practice swing sound,
Right So she's got it at 88 miles an hour right now, and then you're going to crank it up to a
100mile per hour.
Yeah.
All right. So let's see, crank it at a hundred. So can you see how she needs to use her legs to
get that to click So you're loading the ground and then you're using the ground to make the
magnet split from the hands where you got it? Now, 110 miles per hour. This is what deter did it for
Success, right So did you see the intensity of that snap So, you know, if you strap a
paintbrush at your golf club like I did watch it because it makes the club a lot heavier,
but you'll notice how we use that to really paint some awesome golf shots with the irons,
with Mu in the next video, you really don't want to miss that. So in the meantime,
thanks for listening. It was great to see you and we'll see you next week. All the best
