Hey everyone, Shawn, Sav & Mu. And like the title says it's strange, but man, does it work
we've been teaching this for decades here at wisdom in golf. Again, you won't see a lot of this
on the PGA Tour. You'll see certain aspects of it. But when you set up this way with the driver and
you really understand the purpose behind it, you will really start to hit that driver. Very solid,
very straight at all of the numbers are going to match up beautifully, stay tuned
But before we continue, since I have the only mic today, I would tell you guys to subscribe to the
channel and then Sav, what she would say would be to leave a comment than a question down below
and Mu would say, give us a thumbs up and ring that bell. So you never miss another video.
And I concur with all that. So the righty will start to show, and this is something that I have
so much enjoyed. I love hitting the driver. Why?! Because I'm set up to really benefit
from all of the good stuff. What typically we're going to see with the drivers that you
would play the ball forward in your stance, and then you would end up
facing the ball. Now that's a problem because when I'm facing the ball when it's forward in
my stance, what's happens is my shoulders, hips, and knees, and up being way too open.
So my shoulders, my hips, and my knees are,
aimed way left. And now the ball is back in the center of my stance.
Normally I would be setting up - very much centered here. So if I set up everything,
square, bring my hands together to take my grip, everything centers up really nice right here.
Now, from there, everything goes up, comes back down, and comes back up again. so if I start
from here, my eyes are on the tee. It feels like I'm going to catch the tip of the tee on the way
up while my body is a lot more square to the target. Isn't that what we're looking for So
if I played the ball too far center, well, then I'd be catching the ball on the way down.
And I have a negative angle of attack, which is going to cause me to have more spin on the shot.
What we're looking for is a higher launch angle with a lower spin. That's what's going to give
us a lot more distance in the air and a little bit of roll out so we can benefit maximize our numbers
with the driver. So we play the ball more forward since the ball is teed up and it's in the air
and we want to join it on the way up, joining it on the way down with a nine,
10 degree. Driver's not really a good idea. It's much, much better to catch it on the way up.
Now, all we need to do is find our center face the center. And then from there
now we're in a position to catch the ball on the upswing. So let's have a look I'm going to set up
and do my little routine. This is definitely my new routine here. So I'm setting up
on the way up and too far left on the way up and a little less left on the way up and perfect.
So now from there, I feel like I'm catching the tip of the T
on the way up and in direction. That's just a little left of the intermediate point for a
nice little fade. So we're staying that way and we're staying that way. Hear the sound of that
left edge, a building to the right edge of building perfect little power fade,
and notice how the tee is just getting flipped out of the ground. It's not being
broken or annihilated, right So let's have a look at how our lefties do with this.
You're going to notice that Sav is really liking to hit that ball on a high tee. Now
with the speed that she's picked up, she's now averaging 108 miles an hour, and we now have a
launchpad here, but if you play the ball that high up off the tee, can you see how right now
if you follow the ground, you'll go clean under the ball. Yeah. So it's important that you find
the right place for your arc, right So if you do a couple of practice swings right next to the ball,
you guys will notice when she's doing a practice swing, observe the bottom of her arc,
watch where the club actually bottoms out and where the club is going to. Can you see how the
club is going to clip the tip of the tee on the way up Right? So now how do you set that up now So
Look at that now. Beautiful. So you, you see how she set up to catch the tip of the
tee on the way up and to the left edge of that intermediate point. Now, looking from over here,
I'm thinking, Whoa, that's launching, right That is, and you can see how perfect that is. So
let it go in that direction.
Awesome. So you notice how to notice, how you just caught the tip of the tee only as usual.
So let me see, do that routine for the alignment now. So she's gone way too far, right
How's that feel So we're going to let it swing in that direction, catch it on the way up that way.
Look at that. Isn't that cool Yeah. So it started right on the line that you wanted to. Yeah, that
was fabulous. Overdrew just a hair, but that's right. Center. Yeah. Fantastic. Let me see, do
one more. Cause you demonstrate it so well, Sav, we're going to have to put that in stop action.
So show me that again too far. Right
Excellent!
So now they're all starting on the proper line. Yeah. And with what we worked on this morning
with that trail leg of yours, keeping that leverage against that picture,
you'll notice that those, that little extra draw is going to fade right out of there. Yeah.
Oh, that's perfect. That's so good. Nice. It just landed. That is super. Now you notice when you're,
you're doing that, you're not even looking out there, but your side vision is saying
that's still too far, right Yeah. That's still too far. Right. And now you go, Oh, I
think that's pretty good. And then you look up and you're thinking, all right,
isn't that cool Mu. That is really, really cool. So that's from our last week's video. You don't
want to miss that one. Right, That was a very, very important one on, you know, tight fairways
with the driver and setting up your alignment. So Mu let's, let's do one more with you.
So, so Sav just had, just before we start with Mu, I've just had the,
you know, epiphany. She says it's so obvious when you use an extreme reference. And also
so Mu what we're going to do with you is we're going to Goldie locks, that ball position. Okay.
All right. So once you're lined up. Okay. So go ahead and use your extreme reference to line up.
Tell me when you're ready. You liking. Yeah. Awesome.
So notice how Mu is in a perfect position to catch it on the way up as well. And this is
something where he's really improved on. He went from minus three angles of attack
to plus eight. I mean, now he's really, you know, smoking bombs out there. So show me a
ball position would be way too far forward. Keep coming. Now, if we put the club in the
center of your stance yeah. Does that feel like you're going to miss the tip of the tee on the
way up and kind of skull the ball All right? Now, show me something way too far back in the stance.
Doesn't that feel like you're going to pop flight now go straight underneath it?
Yeah. Did you guys see that You need to feel this for yourself, so make sure you do a nice
little Goldilocks with your ball position if you're not sure? So now find the middle. Yeah.
You and a happy spot. Yeah.
That looks awesome. That looks like you're starting at right on the cell
tower and drawing it back to the building. That's right.
Beautiful
Dude. When you stopped shuffling, I started smiling. Oh God, that looks so
good. And that started right on the line. It just didn't come back for you. Yeah.
That was just a beautiful shot. Beautiful shot. And then the, and
the swing was excellent. Now what was the strain level Scale of one to 10
I would say probably an eight. It was this little, I was just the,
I got, cause like you said, like once you found the spot, ding, ding, ding,
It was like, oh, I'm ready to go. Right. And then,
and then you jump on it. So let me see two out of 10 now for effort. Yes.
Oh, yes. Right on the cell tower. Yeah. Oh, look at that.
It's just landing now. Awesome. Hope you guys enjoyed that. We'll see you next week.
