the answer is yes you can have an amazing short game practicing at home
and I got I got something special for you let's go all right thanks so much
for stopping by hope you're doing awesome out there wherever you may be
and make sure you hit that like button subscribe to the channel if you haven't
done so already hit the bell so you don't miss anything and today we're
checking out this little doodad right there you know what it is you probably
have one or have seen them and it is the blast motion sensor had it for a little
while but it hasn't it hasn't been exciting until just now let me show you
why
okay if you have followed my channel for a while you know exactly where I am M
I'm in my backyard and my net setup is back there I have about 30 yards from
here to there which is where we're gonna start and if you don't have this space
not to worry I just AM you using it to show you the capabilities of your blast
motion sensor and if you have one link in the description below if you have an
old one you might need a new one but you definitely have to upgrade the firmware
of this pretty easy to do just update your app on your phone and then update
your firmware put the thing in the holder like so it's not the easiest
thing to put in but whatever you get your guy your blast motion man there in
the shade okay and this just goes on the end of your club like so comes with a
couple different connectors and then you just make sure your little man is facing
up does that be perfect but it's very close then you just go into your blast
golf app after you've updated it it has a new look to it in case you're used to
the old look you have a new look sensors connected right away I love it now
they've redone it so it's a million times better than it was I was using it
for putting pretty much only and it is fantastic really helped my putting game
although I did go crazy for a few days while I was trying to figure out my life
on with my putter we'll get to that another video but now in the app there's
different modes we're gonna do short game today for this video because I want
you to have the greatest short game ever when you go back on the course and this
app now can help you do that at home whether you're 2 feet from your net or
back here it doesn't matter so I'm got my short game app set up and
I'm gonna go just swing and then you want to update your view
your layout and I'm gonna add on that layout I want to know my attack angle
and I want to see it in the app that's the key piece for you okay
so I got that we're gonna see that and I've got the swing tempo and all that
other stuff here as well I want to know all that and I'm just practicing for now
I have a 54 degree wedge s and 8 Voki wedge using my pro v1 balls and I have
about 30 yards okay so this is this is important too to where I'm going okay so
now what I'm looking at okay is my swing tempo you want
everything in the green okay your swing tempo is 2.2 to 1 depending on your
handicap level it gives you a range of things of where you want that my but
what I'm looking at is my attack angle and what I love here is it's got a
little graph it doesn't give me the specific angle but it gives me a range
of what's super down versus level versus up and I want to be with my wedge more
shallow than steep and right now I'm kind of on the steeper end okay and the
reason I don't want to be too much coming down in the ball your tacking
goes how steep you come into that ball okay so I'm going to work on getting
that more shallow than steep so just looking at that I know I need to come a
little bit more from the inside as opposed to the outside because I'm
trying to shallow it out and already I made better ball contact and you can see
I'm at a different place now on the app it shows it moved closer to level and
and you can feel the level of ball contact you have when it's more shallow
versus more steep so I want to work on that everything else is great okay
it gives me swing speed my back swing and down swing times total swing time
but tempo is the key you really want to have the right tempo and for me attack
angle and then as we work on different drills what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
show you how you can change different attack angles in later videos as we go
but I just want to show you this little thing and what it could do for you in
terms of your practice indoor okay cuz I'm just looking at my attack angle now
and I want to see that I'm like okay I like it I want to go a little more
shallow can I do that you give it a jump it's about the same and so I'm looking
at that and I'm like okay that's good I like my attack angle and now that you
have the feeling of the shallow swing what you can do is work on okay with
this wedge if you've got 30 yards or so to practice that's great okay I like
that but I also want to look at my swing speed now I'm at 37 miles an hour okay
37 gets me this far nice little pitch shot long pitch that was a little too
slow so I want to speed it up the one thing I wish this did have is distance I
wish it told me how far this club was going it doesn't have that they do have
the capability to make it do it but it's not perfectly accurate so they left it
off so let's go close to the net because that might be where you are and I'll
show you just how to use it in your net set up so that you can really get the
best benefit of your short game practice come on okay so this is great I've got a
little distance between me and my net I can get closer but what I want to do in
terms of my short game practice and really what is going to save you many
times are those 30 40 yard shots where you're pitching the ball because those
are the ones that you're farther from the hole you were in trouble off the tee
you need to pitch it get it close or you're looking to make birdie on these
par 5 so it's the shot I'm looking for I've got
my app I've got the all the analytics here that I need and I'm just gonna aim
at different pieces of my net and try to have the exact same swing that I had
back there that 30 I know the speed right 39 miles per hour right in there
just under 40 so I'm aiming left side little pitch shot okay how thirty four
little slow so I know okay little longer swing I don't want to increase my tempo
I just want to lengthen the swing a little bit it will speed up the speed so
a little longer swing okay so that was 39 miles an hour but I got a indication
that my attack angle was too steep and it just told me that so it did feel
different but a lot of times you feel contact with the ball differently you
don't necessarily know what it is was it the was it the attack angle or was it
just you made bad ball contact now you know and that's what I want so okay I
got to steep they're trying to get a longer swing so let me shallow it out
and what was that so a little better but still on the steeper end then than
anything and my swing speed was way too fast so again I'm able to work in the
net and know exactly what's going on as opposed to just hitting shot after shot
after shot into a net I'm really getting my feel for my my short game shots great
that was the right speed and my attack angle is nice and shallow I like that
the only difference in my downswing time was a little slower than it should
be so I it's a little bit of a deceleration not much but it's not bad
so try to correct that
and get that feel that I'm looking for oh there we go
that one was perfect swing tempo is pretty good maybe a little too long
attack angle was right where I want it to be so in your short game you know if
you're at home and you can't play this is really where you're going to need the
most practice to take your game on the course and have the feel in touch you
want so if you're doing little chip shots try to be consistent with your
swing speed and your tempo but you have to know it blast motion has just
upgraded their little sensor for golf to give you the short game shots that you
want and you can also use this on your other longer clubs as well so you know
what is going on in that area as well but specifically short game is what
you're gonna lose the most when you get a go play again so you gotta dial it in
and get the practice that you need with the statistics so you know exactly
what's going on so anyways quick look at blast motion
and what they've just done with their sensor and how you can utilize it in
your net home setup during this time so hope this video is helpful for you check
them out let me know your thoughts do you have
this already let me know good luck to you love you guys stay safe out there
see you in the next video
