🚨 These 6 Words Will TRANSFORM Your Ball Striking! — Transcript

So here's what to do to get out of that frustrated game and get into hitting the ball solid every single time. I'm going to tell you about six words that are going to help your game and hit the ball more solid, farther, and straighter. The first two words, understanding where your weight is, okay? If you're hitting the ball thin, fat, left, right, losing distance, this is crucial for you. So you have your upper center and your lower center, okay? The upper center is the center between your shoulders. The lower center is your belt buckle, okay? So when you're doing this, when you hit a golf ball, as you're going through the ball, you need to have upwards of 90% of your weight on your left leg. This is important. This is what all the best players in the world do every single time. They are not hanging back and spinning their hips backwards. So they are moving their centers forwards towards the target and then around, okay? You'll never see a professional golfer sit on their back leg and spin backwards. They would not be a professional golfer or a very high-level golfer. Why is this important? Well, the first thing is that this stick here underneath my left shoulder, left arm, and club, my lead arm, that is the low point. That's what we're trying to hit. We're trying to hit the low point every single time. So weight forward is two words you need to burn into your brain for golf, okay? Most golfers that when they have weight forward, they are trying to go this way. And we don't want that. We don't want that upper center in front of the lower center. We want to have both centers moving forward. So you can see that. So at address, my centers at address are just stacked over the middle of my feet, okay? Then at impact, my weight's forward and look at where my centers go. So, my my my centers go from on top of the ball to in front of the ball. Just this little drill here, okay? Just this movement right here is what can create really good ball striking. So, from from this point, if I just take a small backswing, then I move my centers forward, okay? You can see that I am off my back leg completely. So, as I come through here, my weight's forward, I'm hitting the ball, I'm in my right tilt, you can see it from down the line, I'm in my right tilt, my hands are tracing the arc, and my club head has not swung way to the left. It's tracing the front side of the arc. So, you can see that, right? So, here's my backswing. I'm going to move the weight forwards, hitting the low point, coming back around. This is what's going to change your game. It's automatic. If you just do these little motions here, back to here, back about hands hands about hip height, maybe a little farther. You can see that from down the line. Moving the weight forward, bringing the arms down, hitting the low point, and tracing the arc in the front. Weight forward is going to help you so much. Just doing that motion, and then building a little bigger, okay? Weight forward, arms come down, hitting the low point, tracing the arc around on the front side, you'll start to see how much you can improve your game with weight forward, okay? This is crucial, all right? So, just with weight forward, I'm going to take this little setup here. So, at address, I'm feeling like there's probably about 55 to 60% of my weight or pressure into my left leg. Remember, it's not my upper center doing this, it's my lower center. So, you can see that. So, both centers, if I just stand straight up and down, I move them slightly to the left, that's going to be good for my pressure on the left. Now, from here, I'm going to go as I go through the ball, hitting the back of the ball, coming around. Now, I've got pretty much all my weight on my front leg. Okay, so I'm going to do weight forward, just chip one out there. Oh, so solid, so straight. Weight forward. Remember those two words. I know I say it a lot, but it's worth it. Okay? It's worth it, and it simplifies things. All right, next piece, cuz you want You want to create a little bit more power, right? So, how do you create power? You have all your weight forward. Everybody's been telling you to shift your weight back to create power. How do you create power now? Okay? So, the next two words we're going to talk about shoulder down and and tilt. Okay? So, shoulder down would be your front shoulder, your lead shoulder, going from being slightly above your trail shoulder, so you have a little bit of tilt here. So, your shoulder taking a downward trajectory, okay, taking a downward trajectory towards the ball. So, you can see that right there. When I do that, that helps me bring my arms up. That helps me stay centered. Okay? What we don't want is we don't want to take this shoulder and bring it across, okay, or up. Notice where my head goes when I do that. So, the lead shoulder, understanding the lead shoulder is going down. Okay? And so, notice here when I do that, shoulder down, where my hands go on this grid. Shoulder down. Okay? So, when you put the model up next to me, you'll see a couple things down the line here. As I go shoulder down, my knees change flex, my hands trace in on the grid. That's why I have the grid down. So, this is your hand path here. Okay, so as my shoulder goes down, my hands trace in. Okay? From the front side here, from the front view, face-on view, you can see I have a stable inclination to the ground. Okay? Or I haven't moved my head back. Okay? So, if I move my head back, that's what that looks like, with my shoulder moving level or up. But, if I take a downward trajectory of my shoulder, not across, we're not going across, either. We're going left shoulder down. Okay? What that does, down the line, you can start to see with the model, my knees changing flex, my hips turning on an angle, tilted angle. So, all that goodness comes from shoulder down. Then back through the ball, and then on the follow-through, my right shoulder's down. Okay? That maintains the inclination to the ground. Down the line, my head does not move back, forward, up, down. Okay? Because I am moving on a tilted angle here. Okay? That's very important if you want to eliminate frustration, right? If you want to do this, and let me just tell you, subscribe to my channel if you want to get better at golf. Okay? If you want to simplify the game, subscribe to my channel.

Now, weight forward, shoulder down, coming back into the back of the ball, back through the ball, boom. Very simple. Weight forward, shoulder down. So, I'm going to hit a little shot now. Weight forward, shoulder down. Ah. Can't hit it any better than that. I didn't swing very hard there. I probably took that seven iron and hit it about 140 yards. So, you can see is that I did not swing very hard. So, the motion, the body motion, one of the things that has changed my teaching and my game forever is understanding how the spine works in three dimensions. Okay? You have extension, extension of your spine. You have tilting of your spine. You have turning of your spine. Right? So, you have three-dimensional movements here. And this is crucial to understand how to play a good golf, right? How to strike the ball better. If you want to hit that thing freaking hard and solid and far and just be consistent every single time, these are the ways you have to do it. You can take this this video I'm doing right now step-by-step, weight forward, shoulder down, and I'm going to give you the last two words. It's going to be arm straight. So, arm straight, we we create the radius, okay? We create the radius from the lead shoulder, lead arm, and club. That's the radius, right? Then I

more solid, farther, and straighter. The first two words, understanding where your weight is, okay? If you're hitting the ball thin, fat, left, right, losing distance, this is crucial for you. So you have your upper center and your lower center, okay? The upper center is

and solid and far and just be consistent every single time, these are the ways you have to do it. You can take this this video I'm doing right now step-by-step, weight forward, shoulder down, and I'm going to give you the last

two words. It's going to be arm straight. So, arm straight, we we create the radius, okay? We create the radius from the lead shoulder, lead arm, and club. That's the radius, right?

Then I put my trail arm on. Okay, you can see both arms, both elbows are pretty close together. You can see that my hands, from this face-on view, are slightly ahead of the club head, right?

They're not back like this. They're forward. So, I keep my hands on the radius. My club head goes back behind the radius slightly.

Okay? I set up to the ball. And here's my setup, okay? You can see my arms aren't flexed.

That's a big point, right? So, arm straight, elbows together, almost like if I was bumping a volleyball, I'd kind of feel like my elbows are there.

Now, as I swing back, if I have my weight forward, shoulder down, I want you to see how my trail arm, my right arm, is not flexing.

Okay? Is not pulling in behind me. From P1 to P2, all the best players have a very straight trail arm. They do not pull their club in this way, right? They are having the weight forward, shoulder down. As I go back, see my trail arm is

pretty straight from one to two, from P1 to P2. P3, it starts to flex a little bit.

Okay? P4, it's definitely flexed cuz you need to create a power accumulator there with the right arm and right wrist. So, one of the drills I have people do is hold the club with their left hand.

There's the radius. I'm going to move this arm back, so straight, straight, straight straight straight start bending bending bending bending bending. My right arm and right wrist is bent back down.

Okay? It's a good top of the position. On the way down, stays bent, bent, bent, bent bent bent bent bent bent.

Straighten straighten straighten straighten straighten straighten straighten, straighten. So, what most people do is that they're flexing and bending their arms, creating a very chaotic radius. It's like almost like a um like a a fire hose with nobody pulling

onto the hose, right? The fire hose is going everywhere. So, that's what a lot of people how they play golf. So, if I weight forward, shoulder down, you can see my front arm, my left arm's pretty straight. Doesn't have to be

perfectly straight. My right arm's bent slightly. Coming back down into the back of the ball, you can see my right arm, right wrist still bent slightly.

Hitting the back of the ball, hitting the low point. Then you can see how straight my arms are on this side.

Okay? Through the ball, back around. If you watch the swing model from face on, as he goes through, as he goes through the shot, you can see how straight his arms are.

He does not flex his arms like pretty much everyone I see out here. That's why they have trouble topping the ball, hitting the ball in the center of the face, they hit the ball in the toe and the heel whatever, all over the place.

So, I'm tracing an arc. Weight forward, shoulder down, arm straight. Here's my backswing. Okay?

Here's my downswing. You can see my uh my front arm, my left arm is pretty straight. My right arm slightly bent here, my right wrist is slightly bent.

The club comes out, hits the low point, weights forward, goes forward, my arms are straight now.

Most people what they do, from the face on, is they cast this club out, bend the arms, bend the arms, okay? And this is something that you could really work on.

Think about if you're throwing a ball, right? Bring the club bring my arm back here, I can throw the ball. Look at my arm now, go straight. So, arm straight.

So, weight forward, shoulder down, arm straight. You're going to freaking hammer this thing every single time, and it's going to be effortless. Remember that. You want effortless, you want to be able to stand out here all day and

hit a thousand balls and not get tired, right? Weight forward, shoulder down, arm straight.

Baby draw. So, that's what I recommend. Those six words becomes very simple, right? You can control your low point, you can hit the ball far enough to play the course. Remember, far enough to play the course is hitting the par threes in

one, hitting the par fours in two, and hitting the par fives in three. That's all you're looking for.

That's it. That's how far you need to you hit the ball. And then basically controlling your your face angle. But if you don't get good contact, what's the point? You can't really do much else. So So I would say

weight forward, control the low point. Understand that's how you control low point. The weight forward is the centers the center of the shoulder, center of the hips.

Boom, come back around. And that is what we're looking for right there all day long.
