Start talking. Okay. I wanna welcome you guys to the actually, it's the July plane talk. We're putting a little extra plane talk in here because we're getting so many questions in, and we're starting get a lot of information coming in for you guys that you got we guys are getting a lot of we're getting a lot of great questions that are coming in from you guys. And Chris and the guys came to me and said, can we do an extra plane talk this month? I said, absolutely. So we're live on the range today. We got some storms around us. We should be good here. So, I'm I'm I wanna thank you guys for joining us, and, I'm gonna give a few announcements for tonight. The guys are throw it up on the screen. So I'm just gonna pre warn you guys. Anytime we're going live like this outside, you never know what could happen. Okay? So we wanted to go when we get outside, we wanna be able to get outside. We're streaming live out here for you guys. We're using Starlink kind of deal we're doing here. It's really it's probably some pretty high-tech stuff here, but we, so I am actually live here. I'm in Oklahoma City. It's just after seven o'clock. And like I said, if we if we we shouldn't get rained out here tonight, I see some storms off in the distance, we should be good. And, guys, think we've got, like, twelve to fifteen, maybe twenty questions rolled in for tonight. Looking at Chris and the guys in the background. But before I want to get a few announcements for you guys. And these are some pretty big announcements I want to make sure you guys know about and some things that are going with Graves Golf. So we're going roll them up on the slide real quick. So we're going to get them up there for us. So All right. First one, school. School announcements. Guys, number one, I want you guys to know this, that we had the school schedule out for the rest of the year. Okay? In fact, the guys right now, and I know this behind the scenes, are already starting to set the schedule for next year, in January, February, March, April of next year. Okay? Guys, you know we try to get six to eight months ahead, but the school schedule's already out for this year, I mean, for the rest of the year, so it's out. So everything you guys see, there's nothing that's gonna be added, nothing else we put on there. But as you see in the schedule right now, we actually have an ongoing camp right now in Oklahoma City. We have a bunch of students here at the academy that are working every single day. But as you see, we have it all the way through, even through Orlando, Phoenix, and so on through the end of the year. Now, a couple things I want to make note of. Number one is I want to really highlight a couple schools. Number one, I want to highlight the Trifecta School. I think the Trifecta School, and have Tristan pull these up. Was this in the previous screen there real quick? I want to put the Trifecta School up there. All right. If you look on there right there, September fifteenth through sixteenth, the short game school. Seventeenth and eighteenth, the playing school. Or excuse me, thirteenth and fourteenth, the AI mental game school. Fifteenth and sixteenth, short game school. Seventeenth and eighteenth, playing school. That is what we call the trifecta scoring school. So you have a two day that we bring palm on hand in here for mental game school. You have a two day short game school, then you have a two day on course instruction school. We hold it right here at this facility, okay? And I'm bringing that up because this will be the fourth one we've had you this year, and it is by far, no doubt about it, the most popular school we do. In fact, I get testimonials every week. In fact, I got two last night. Testimonials coming in with people that are playing the best game, the best golf they've ever played after coming to those trifecta schools. Think about it. We're working on the mental game and how to practice, how to practice better, how to how to manage your game. And everybody that says mental game, they're like thinking, you know, mental game of getting the golf course. That's just a small part of We talk about how to effectively practice, how to get over bad shots, how to celebrate good shots, how to work on functional shots. We work on how to think before shots, during shots, after shots. We we think about your your in pre shot, in shot, post shot routines. We think we guys, this mental game is very, very, very in-depth. I mean, Paul Monahan, who's our mental game coach. He's a single playing golfer. We bring him in. He lives up in in Ohio. We bring him in for the schools, and he runs these schools with us. He's actually a performance specialist. He works with professional musicians, professional athletes, a lot of hockey players, lot of very superstars out there, and he brings that into here, and it's an amazing information. Then we go from that to the short game school. So obviously, we're doing putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play, how to score. We're taking the on the golf course because you have all kinds of different shots working the short game. And then the last few days, we get out there and we work on the different shots on the golf course. So we work on how to get from the range of the golf course, how to do the pre shot routine on the golf course, how to do a warm up session before you go to the golf course, how to manage that first tee on the golf course. Then obviously, how to hit the different shots in the golf course from uphill, side hill, downhill lies, long bunker shots, high grass, over trees. Mean, you can imagine, you're covering the game. So when you think about that, that is the scoring game. That's why I want to highlight that. And the reason I was asked to highlight that, it's the last one for this year, and it is by far the most popular school we have. So if you want to get into that, I would really strongly suggest it. I promise you, it'll change your game dramatically. Okay? And the last one I want to highlight on there, and Tristan filled it up, is the December, and Chris asked me to do this, is the December Short Game School. And it's the one that is actually December fourth and fifth in Phoenix, Arizona. And that'll be the last Short Game School we have this year. It's at our Phoenix facility, Legacy Golf Course. I'm gonna tell you guys right now, second, it's only second to this facility right here, an incredible short game facility, okay? And if you guys can make it out there, I strongly advise you to do that. I know it's starting in the winter, but what a great time to come out there, get all kinds of great short game information and stuff you can work on over the winter, and then when the spring hits, you're ready to roll and ready to score, okay? So, guys, just be aware that all the schools are out for the rest of this year. They're on the calendar. If you need any more information, can always go to our website. You can always go and look in the school schedule on there, and, we'll you taken care of. All right. Let's go to the next announcements. The next one for you guys real quick. Triple play. Okay. Triple play special. And guys, this is the one, and this is one I'm running, and I've been we just kind of started this up, but this basically want you guys to know about this. We're gonna get a little more into this tonight with some questions, I'm sure. But we have a triple play special, what that is is because I have the Callaway clubs, and I have Quantum clubs. I have Apex clubs. We got the Odyssey Potters. You know, I really I've obviously focused on Callaway, but we we have special prices for all those clubs. If you choose to buy multiple clubs, let's say you want to get a set of clubs, you want to get a driver in a couple of fairy woods, you want to add a mini driver in there with what I can always get you extra specials if you buy multiple clubs. Okay? So you add that on to the additional pricing, the special price we always have, and then we have an additional fifty percent bonus for trade in clubs. We have that, nobody else in the country I know of has that, so you put that together, we call it triple play special. So if you're looking for a single custom fit club or multiple custom fit clubs or anything from wedge to putter, all the way up to hybrids, fairway woods drivers, whatever it is, many drivers. Get ahold of me at timgregresgolf dot com. Get ahold of me now. The trade in specials are still very good. We'll get you an additional fifty percent added on to that. Guys, can trade any clubs you want. You can trade in Taylor Major, can trade in Tyler's, you can trade in Cleveland. You can trade in most major manufacturers, okay? You keep those clubs in your hand until you get the new clubs. We get you directions on how to send those in. We get you a label on how to send the trade in clubs in. It's very easy. It's a very simple direction, but we want to get those fit clubs in your hands and we want to be able to get you the best specials out there. Okay? So we had a triple play ongoing special. If you guys are interested in that, let me know. TimGrayzGolf dot com. We'll get that information. You know, get that information to me. We'll start a dialogue. Make sure you have perfectly fit clubs in your hand for you. Alright, we got something else to go on? This one is, swing thing. Alright, swing thing. And I'm gonna probably talk about this tonight because I know I've looked at a couple of the questions that came in and, the swing thing we call playing the chain. We have it right now for it's sixty dollars off, so it's for basically a hundred bucks. You can get the swing thing. We've got it in stock. It's it's ready to go out the door. We're going talk about this tonight because this is one of the I mean, do I use our training tools? Yes. Do I use them all consistently? I mean, I I mean, I to tell you no. Mean, I use some consistently. This is one of the ones I use consistently. Okay? And we'll talk about this tonight, but we have an ongoing special right now. So for ninety nine point nine five or a hundred bucks, you can get the swing thing. And it's a great tool to work on release. It's a great tool to work on speed. We'll talk I'm sure we'll talk more about that So we'll we'll talk about that. Alright. Anything else? Nope. Alright. So that's really guys, that's really the analysis for tonight. You know, I wanna make sure, and because I know this is a general plane talk I've known in a couple months, and I want to make sure that we're gonna get some questions here, but I want to talk to you guys just for a couple minutes here. And I want to talk to you about the simplicity of what we do, and then we'll get into the questions. Okay? I think we have ten to twelve questions, maybe a little bit more. We'll see how long it goes, and we'll just keep going till we run out of time, maybe run out of daylight. Guys, it's interesting. People like to get into this and get in within the single plane, and I think it's human nature. I think it gets to the point where if you can't do it easy or you can't do it quick, we want to make it complicated. We want to say it's hard. We want to say it's difficult. Want to Human nature, maybe especially for guys, know, if I don't get it right away, can't be that easy. Okay. And I want to always restate this because, you know, we spend a lot of time with Mo. We spend a lot of time around Mo. We spent spent a lot of time, you know, working on this. We've been doing this for, you know, what's going on over twenty five years now. In fact, you look at the amount time we've been working on this and with our with the with our academy and everything, it's almost thirty years. Okay? And, know, I always come back. It's funny. I've been doing this for close to thirty years, you know, with single plane swing, and you always come back to the keep it simple. You know, the kiss method. Keep it simple stupid or keep it simple. Okay? And I want to look because even we get these questions tonight, I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of questions about, you know, getting on plane and getting, you know, what's my elbow doing? My hips doing? My shoulders doing the different angles and things like that. But I want to reiterate this. I want you guys to always remember this. Okay? And so I'm gonna back up about four or five steps and I think it's probably why a lot of you got in this methodology. Number one is, why is the single plane swing simpler than you guys all call conventional golf, but we'll just say other swings. Because remember, it's not the single plane swing versus versus conventional swing. It's just we teach the single plane swing. Okay? There's many, many other methodologies. There's hundreds of other methodologies out there. I mean, if you really studied golf and golf swing, you know there's there's all kinds of different methodologies. It's not conventional golfers, a single plane. There's there's many different ones, but what is the difference in the single plane swing? Okay. And let's so let's get let's get back to the basics just for a couple minutes. Okay. Because I know when we get into these programs, we tend to get very in-depth and we start getting, you know, A plus B plus C plus D. I want to get back to basics for a second. So basic number one, what is the difference? The basic difference number one is remember, we stand further from the golf ball, okay? So on an average six iron, we recommend you stand twenty six inches from the ball with the six iron. Okay? For conventional golfer, they may stand eighteen, nineteen, twenty inches away from a six iron. When you're talking a six iron, we stand further from this. We stand further from the ball. Okay? As we stand further from the ball, what's that allow us to do? Well, first thing it allows us to do is allows the arms freedom away from the body. Okay? Because when you're in conventional golf, when you're very close to the golf ball, you're tied up to the body. Okay? You're you're tight to the body. And when we're tight to the body, the only way to create speed and force through the golf shot is to spin very hard because the arms are basically tied into the body. So this is why you watch, and and guys, I'm sure you'll watch that. A lot of you will watch the Open Championship this week. You'll see these guys, these young guns out there, and they're standing. You're twenty inches from the six iron, and they're ripping through this as hard as they can to get through the shot to try to clear those arms from the body. And they're very effective at it because they turn very hard. In fact, when you watch those guys and they make impact conventional golfers, and they make impact with that ball, their hips might be seventy, eighty degrees open compared to their shoulders and they're ripping through that shot, okay? Well, here's the deal. When we stand further from the golf ball, we now have more arm independence. So we can now swing the arms more independently and clear the body easier. Why or how is this advantageous? Well, is specifically advantageous when what? When we get older and we get a little less flexible so we can't move our hips as fast, or maybe when we get a little bit bigger chests on us. Mean, you guys watch these long drive champions, they got this big chest and they're working out, they start getting further and further from the ball so they can clear those arms. Or maybe you're a lady. I mean, you know, most ladies, you watch the LPGA tour and so on, they tend to have their arms out further just because of anatomy, because they want to clear that body with the arms. Okay? So it is very advantageous to get the arms away from the body to clear the body and get that independence, okay? That's number one. Number two, as we get further, the ball further from us, okay? So we're getting further from the body, we've got to increase the width of our stance. Think of a tripod. If you had two legs of the tripod, if you had one leg of the tripod stuck way out and you had the other two narrow, okay, it'd be very off balance. Okay, so when we sit here, we've got to get a wider base because we get further from the golf ball. So now we got a wider stance to what? To create the stability of basically that tripod or what we have this of our stance over top of being further from the golf ball. Okay. So now what does that do for you, do it for us? Well, first of all, that wider base gives us more stability, gives us more balance. Number one. Number two, that wider base as we get like that, now we can start creating speed and if we create speed, we will naturally have more balance when we create that speed. Because it's so often you see this, you get conventional golfers or we say other golfers, You walk up and they got this narrow stance. They go up with a driver and you'll watch them swing and they're out of balance. I mean, they're coming up off their feet. They're falling forward. They're sliding. They're sliding back and forth. They're having all kinds of issues. Why? Because they're out of balance that narrow stance. Well, now we get that further from the ball. We get a wider stance. Now this tripod now has an effect that we can now create great balance and we can get back that impact position every single time. Okay? And that's the key. In fact, I you Moe I heard Moe say this a million times. Moe would say, never too far, never too wide. So they talk about, okay, how far from the ball mode do you get? How wide your stance? Goes, never too far, never too wide. What do you mean by that? He goes, get reach that golf ball. Reach out there. Never too far, never too wide. Can't get that stance too wide. Why? Because that's the stability. Okay? So what that does for us is it creates width for stability and it creates distance to the ball to let our arms clear. Okay? Now I know most of you guys know this, but this is the simplicity of what we do. Now, the last one I'll bring up, I wanna get some questions is, okay. So it's very interesting and I'm gonna we'll talk about this for a few seconds here. If you ever watched so and this is very interesting. Let's say you took a five, six, seven year old kid, you know, boy or girl doesn't matter, and you handed him a golf club, and they've never held one before in their life, okay? And you said, there's a ball on the ground, I want you to to hit this with this object, with this stick, okay? So I want you to grab this, try to hit that ball. What you'll see them do every time is they'll set up, they'll usually split their hands, they'll stand up like this and they'll hit, almost like they're playing hockey, okay? But they'll put their hands up in the air and they try to hit it, okay? That's the natural way for the body to try to hit that golf ball. Okay. Well, you notice when they do that, the first thing you see is they lift the hands up in the air to hit. They never start down here and try to hit there. They lift their hands up and try to hit to that position. Okay? That's what they do. Well, in golf, you'll see the one commonality and the one thing you will see with all swing planes, all golf swings, is when the golfers get to impact, the shaft will line up with the bottom of the trail arm. So the shaft will up with the bottom of the trail which then goes to basically the middle of the back, what we call the pivot point. So the shaft length, that's the most powerful position in the golf swing. But what hap so what happens is, let's say you have a traditional or conventional golfer, and they have their hands starting low, okay, and close to the ball. Well, they're gonna lift somewhere in the swing cause this force of this club is going to lift up to get through that pivot point and to line up with the bottom of that arm. It does every single time. Well, that lifting type motion, okay, they have to do it to create solidness of impact. Cause if they hit down low, the body can't create the speed it wants or create the consistency it wants hitting low. In fact, they won't do it. He wants to lift every single time. Well, Moe figured out and through single plane we figured out, well, tell you what, let's just start there. So let's lift the hands up into that position so the shaft lines up at the bottom of the arm. Let's go back, let's go back to that impact position, okay? So as Moe would say, I start where I finish. I start where I finish. So now we're gonna get there, and we're gonna lift it up to the bottom of the arm, we're gonna take it back, we're gonna go back to that impact position. So if you start where you finish, you should have what? Optimal consistency. Okay. So now we've got the width in that stance. We've got the distance to that golf ball. So we should be able clear that body. Now we're going lift up our arms. We're going get to that impact position. And now we're basically going to start where we finish and get back there. Now, are we going to turn our hips? Are we going to turn our shoulders? Absolutely we are. Why? That's what creates the speed. Okay? Because sure, I could sit here and take my arms and throw my arms through without the hips moving, but I'm going create no speed. I got to get back. I got turn those hips and shoulders. Now turning the hips and shoulders, that creates lag and leverage in the club, which then what we call the kinematic sequence, which creates a speed. Okay. Now I know we're gonna start getting some questions now, but remember, everything goes back to what I just stated there. And I know that seems very simple, and for you guys who've been at this for years and years, okay, Tim, you're oversimplifying that. But we're really not. That's what the single plane awl is. It's further from the golf ball, okay? It's twenty six inches from the six iron. It's thirty six inches from the driver, okay? It's further than the golf ball. It's a wider stance because we got to get that tripod. We got to get that balance when we stand further. It's skiing that club lifted up so that we're basically starting where we finish. That's why we call it the single plane. That's where the simplicity is. Now, as we're trying to create speed, as we're trying to hit different clubs in the bag and so on, now we're getting some, you know, some issues, some things. Okay, do I turn my hips properly? You know, do I turn my hips right? Do I get it on plane? Do I get consistency? And we're we're going start going through those questions. But it always goes back to what I just told you. It always goes back to that single plane. And always remember this, the beauty of what we do here is in traditional or conventional golf, so that all those guys you're gonna watch on TV this weekend, a majority, okay? Yes, there is some single plane golfers out there, but in in a lot of them, when they hit the driver, actually very close to single plane. But what you see when they start close is that club has to lift somewhere in the swing. It's got to lift to line up. That's the force that's created by that club. Okay? So their body's got to twist and turn to allow that club to lift and to get away from the the ball to create space. So when they're turning and they're getting away from that ball to create space, it's putting an incredible amount of stress in their back and in their lower body, but in particular, the lower back. Well, that's why in golf, and it's a known fact that seventy percent of golfers who play for any length of time, seventy percent of golfers have chronic back issues or have typical back issues because of what? Because they've had to lift to get away from that ball to get that club in a position to hit. Well, when we get over the ball and we get that distance, now we can set down. We can go to impact and set down through impact, which then puts the force in a different part of the body. Because when you're lifting at impact, it's it's gonna it's it's putting stress in your lower back until the point eventually where it's gonna cause less stress, you don't play, or you're gonna have issues with that back. Whereas if we get further from that ball, we can now make impact. We're putting stress on this part of the body. And if you do it right, you're protecting the back. You're limiting the stress on the back. You're limiting the stress on that part of the body that can't handle it over a period of time, okay? And that's why when you see, and yes, do we deal with older demographic? We typically do, and why is that? Because they're the ones that want to keep playing golf, they're ones that are fighting body issues, they're ones that are trying to get easier or a simpler swing, but this swing's fair, buddy. I mean, you can talk to Bryson DeChambeau about it. You can talk to Brian Gay about it. You can talk to Steve Stricker about it. I I can name many, many single playing golfers who you've seen on tour for years and years and years who have used this very effectively for years and years, and they're young guns out there. They're young guys out there playing this game. Okay? So yes, is it system, is a more repetitive, easier system on the body that is a much more consistent system to hit the ball that's easy to repeat every single time, okay? And that's really what it comes down to. So I wanted to throw that out, and then to top that off, and then we're going go into questions, is, and I get this question all the time, and I'm not sure if I'm going hand me on it tonight, but when you get over and you deal with the single plane swing, so we step over this, and we get in this position on a single plane swing, This club has to be fit for you into that single plane swing. Okay? And guys, here's the deal. Let's say you go into conventional golf. Let's say you are conventional golfer and you stand twenty six twenty inches from a six iron, you know, and you're on top of the ball and you lift through impact. I would expect your club to fit that. Okay. I'll expect to have a little bit more up like like club for you, a little bit shorter club for you. You know, obviously the shafts going to fit your swing speed. You'd fit that swing. So even if you're in a conventional swing, I expect you to fit that swing. But if you're in a single plane swing, we've got to get a club that fits you for you and your single plane swing. Because if you don't, you're gonna if the line goes off, the length's off, if the grip size is off, if it doesn't fit you perfect, you're gonna make subconscious and even at times conscious movements in the swing to fit the club that fit that club that doesn't fit the swing. For example, let's say you got and you're saying the correct distance for the ball, but the club's too upright. You're gonna heel dig that every time. And when you heel dig that, the toe's going to turn over. And it's going to turn over, it's going to feel terrible, and the ball's going to go left every time. In fact, a six iron that's hit, that's two degrees upright, that's hit with average swing speed for a male can go up to thirty to forty yards left. Listen my said, thirty to forty yards left of your target with heel digging. Okay? That's a hundred to one hundred and twenty feet left of the target. Well, you're not going to like that very much, so you're going to make compensations in the swing. So what will you do? You'll try to hold on and let that club go turn over. You won't let the club release. You'll start getting closer to the ball. You'll do you'll make issues to compensate for improperly fit clubs. So get just get that off the checklist. If you're going to be serious about the single plane swing, you've got to get clubs that either just the ones you got or contact me and we'll get you some new stuff in your bag. Whatever it takes. Get something that works for your single plane swing, because I promise you, people always ask me this. They always say, should I get my clubs fit first, or should I work on the swing then get my clubs Well, here's the deal. If you don't get your clubs fit first, the single plane swing you're working on, you probably won't stay with us long enough anyway. You will literally say, okay, this isn't working for me. It doesn't feel good. It's hurting my wrists. It's hurting my elbows. It's hurting my shoulders because that club is causing damage to the body because it's improperly fit club. So get that taken care of. I promise you this, if you have a perfectly fit club for you for length, line, angle, shaft, flex, grip size, you have one fit for you perfect. Swing changes will happen Because you instinctively know or you will find out real quickly what a well hit ball is with a good fit club. It feels like you're signing that club right through butter. Mean, it just it hits. So they all people always say, what do you feel? I felt nothing. I mean, it felt effortless. It felt literally like nothing. It just it came off perfect. If you hit that feeling, the body reacts that and says, I want it again. I want it again. I want it again. We talk a lot about this in our mental game school. I want it again. Well, when you do that in your perfectly fit club, you're getting instinctively getting the positions that we're trying to get you into in the single plane. Okay? So I talk about this a lot. You can watch videos on this, but you guys, if you have any questions at club fitting, if you want to just try one club, just try one and see how different it is. I can get you one club. I'll get you seven on your hand. You can try it. It'll be fit to you perfect. The whole thing will be fit to you perfect. Okay? If you want to try one club, we can do that. Okay? But email me. Email me at timgrazegolf dot com. We'll take care of that. We'll start a dialogue about it. We'll get that worked out. Not a big deal. Okay. All right. So I know that was a little a little dissertation on, you know, the simplicity of the swing, but I always have a problem when we walk into this this Q and A. And also we start getting these real elaborate questions. I'm like, okay, I want to back up just a couple seconds. Remember, this is really isn't that complicated. Okay? This really is simpler than I think most people want to make it. In fact, Moe has said this. Moe would say, first of all, we way overcomplicate it. And then he'd say this. He'd say, When you really figure it out, and when you really get it, you'll be shocked how easy it is and how hard you made it on yourself. He said that a lot. Meaning, you just kind of he always said, You gotta get out of your own way. Kind of keep it a little simpler than you think. And it's amazing what your body and what you will do if you can get out of your own way and kind of let it naturally occur. And that's really is about the single plane swing because it really is, I mean, really is a natural way to hit the golf ball, what the body wants to do, and the way we set up into this is an easier system to allow your body to do that. All right. So we're gonna get some questions for tonight, and I've reviewed some of these, some I don't think I have, so we're gonna go through this tonight. The guys are gonna fire them up here, we'll see. Some will be a little bit longer than others, and we're ready to go? All right. Let's do it. What's the Okay. Bob McKenzie. Hey, Bob. What's the best way to increase swing speed? Well, Bob, you talk know always about this. When you talk swing speeds, you want more distance. Okay? You want more distance. And for most people, they want more distance than the driver. They may be over everything. Okay? So number one is, if you want more distance, you got to get numbers and throw this out. You got to the highest technology clubs, okay? If you got clubs are two, three years old or younger, okay? You're good. If you got clubs are four, five, six years old, I mean that there's stuffs a lot longer out there now. That's number one. Number two is technique. People want to really work on speed, like swing something faster, swing something faster, and really work on it. Guys, I'll tell you guys right now, it's the technique of hitting the center of the club face and getting it without side spin on it, minimizing side spin, what single plane does. That's the second thing. Constantly working on technique that'll increase your distance, that'll increase the swing speed. The third one, and I knew, mean, first question, here it is. People talk about what kind of tool can you use to increase swing speed. Well, speed has to do one hundred percent of flexibility, okay? So any type of flexibility movement, any type of flexibility work, we do a fast forward program every winter, okay? It starts literally, typically in October, November, runs December, January, February, March. It's basically a three to four month program with some bonuses in there, and one of it has to do with indoor full swing instruction, indoor short game instruction. Chris Hinning comes in and does flexibility work with you guys for three months plus, and then Paul Mountahan comes and does mental game work. But the flexibility work that Chris does over the winter is one hundred percent about number one, maintaining what you have, but also increasing swing speed. Okay? It covers the body because I can't sit there and just say, know, gotta just work on your hips or your shoulders. It's the overall body. Okay? And I would strongly suggest looking at last year's Fast Forward program and then the next probably five or six months from now, getting this month, this winter's Fast Forward program, cause it is the number one thing we do about increasing swing speed or getting more distance. Okay? But if you're gonna talk about a tool, cause I know you guys all want tools, there's no doubt about it. The best tool we have is the swing thing we call playing the chain. And the reason for this is because it has added weight on the end with these chains. Okay? Added weight. And now there's a lot of tools out there. I mean, I'll admit, there's a thousand, and there is more than that. There's ten thousand out there that have added weight on it that, hey, can go buy this and that. But what this does for you, and this is why we promote this, is because when you swing this, it makes you release it. So notice, I've got a perfect grip on here because we've got our molded training grip on here. The molded training grip makes you hold this perfect. So the eye of this swing thing right here, okay, the eye of this, put it square, it has my grips on there perfect. Now if I take it back and I swing it, okay, and when I swing it, it makes me release my hands. I can't physically hold onto this club, and that is beauty, and why is that important? Because if you swing a heavier object fast, and it holds on, or you don't release it, you can seriously hurt your wrist, your shoulders, your body, because your body can't handle that speed. So what I would suggest is use this. Start slow, okay, and then build up and work on this, which is some added weight to increase swing speed. Obviously the body's gonna gain some resistance to this, which is good. That's what you want because remember, when you release a heavier object, you're training the body how to release a heavier object, will then allow you to release your club faster, okay? And that's a big deal, and it'll get through the club faster. So the swing thing is a great deal. Now, the one thing I'm going add about the swing thing, I probably have another question about it, I'll just go over it again, is when you guys are swinging this, I want you to do me a favor. Don't I would like you let's say right now, I'm it's doing you can do this inside or you're doing it out in the range. I use mine in the range. I mean, is this is my warm up tool because this is the one that I start very slow, very easy, and I work my way through it, okay? But when I swing this, I'm trying to take this ball that's on the end of this and throw it for my as a righty, right at the target, and a lefty would be left at the target, okay? And because most people, I watch them do this, they literally come across and they just swing across it, and they're spinning their hips out, and they're basically just the over the top move. I want you to take this, take it back, and try to throw it as far to right field as you can, keeping your lead knee flexed and your back foot as down as much as possible. Now I know some of you guys aren't flexed well enough to do this, but as much as possible. In fact, start out soft and easy, go into right field, and if you notice, as I do this, this is promoting keeping my lead knee flexed and keeping my hip dropping down in in the downswing. Because if I just do this and I come straight across it, okay, I'm pulling the hip across, throwing my shoulders out, that's the over the top move. That's the slice, the top, the pull. That's the over the top move that ninety percent of golfers fight. But if I take this right now and I drop it down, if you like I'm throwing the right field, it throws it to right field, but it also releases the club, which is so cool. And that why is that dramatic? Because most golfers, when they do that move without the swing thing, they'll throw it to right field and they hold on to the club without releasing it. Their hand goes under and they don't release the club properly. And the first time they go out there and deal with the club in their hand, this block is straight right where it comes with almost like a shank because they've never learned how to release the club getting the club on plane. Okay? This swing thing can teach you, it can get the feel of down the line and exaggerate that, and what it feels like to release the club throwing at the right field. And that is huge. For a lefty, feel like you're throwing at the left field obviously. So if you're gonna use this, which is a great tool to try to increase swing speed, but it's a great tool to teach you release, feel like you're dramatically throwing it away from you. And as you do that, don't throw it away from you. You won't be able to spin across it. Throw it away from you and balance it. Notice, watch I'm doing on my lower body here. I'm balancing dramatically with that lower body, keeping that knee flexed, keeping that feet down. That is exactly what we're looking for in the swing. What you're not seeing me is go whoop and come across it. That's why I love this, and what this swing thing does for you is you throw it to right field, it releases. Notice, I'm doing that as I come through this pull the chain, that's why it's called playing the chain, rolls over and releases my hands. So it gives me what a down the line, if not slightly inside out, path feels like with a release club. Now I have to say many or most people haven't felt that before. This is huge for that. This is why we promote this. This wasn't one of those things that was kind of off the wall. Hey, this is kind of a weird looking deal. We'll sell it. No. It was something actually, wow, we can feel release with a perfect grip on the club, with a perfect release, with you trying to add some speed to it and feel that, that was a big deal. All right, let's go to the next question. All right, best way to create leg and stop coming over the top. Here's what's going to happen. It always does. Number one is they always seem to relate the same. Okay. Number one, not come over the top I just showed you. Okay? I'm gonna show you a little bit of lag here, but not come over the top is, guys, take this, feel like you're throwing the right field. Take this, feel like you're throwing the right field. Because notice, as I feel like I'm throwing the right field, I'm dropping my hands down and under the right field. I can't throw it to the right field and come across. In fact, right now, I'm looking at a target straight ahead. If you're gonna pick a target to the right, I'm gonna take this back, I'm gonna try to throw it at that target to the right. That's what I feel like. If you do this inside, put something like on the wall and put something to the right of it and throw it to the right of it. And obviously, the lefty, do the opposite, Okay? That's what's gonna feel like to not come over the top of the ball. But here's the deal. The best way to create lag for most people is flexibility. Okay? Now I've got the single plane position trainer. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna set up and I'm gonna go to position one, position two, okay? Now I know all you guys, hope you work on that. I mean, maybe there's some newbies out there who haven't seen that, but I assume you guys have worked on that or you are working on that. But leg is coming down to position three and holding the angle, and you're pushing that towards right field. Sounds familiar, right? Push it towards right field, elbows get in front of the hip, and you're trying to keep this level with the ground or more. So notice, my hands are in front of me, across the hip, my elbows across the hip, trying to keep that to right field. This is lag. So as I go to the top, I'm trying to hold that angle down. Because what you'll see if you do it, what most people do is they come here and they'll go, they'll come right down, and they lose their leg from the top. Or you'll see them do this, and they'll come across it, okay? So when you drop down, I'm trying to what? Get this lead elbow, this butt into the single plane position trainer pointed to right field. I'm trying to get my elbow in front of my hip, and I'm trying to hold this angle. That is lag, okay? Now, lag has to do with wrist flexibility. And so I would have to say right now that one the big things I want you to work on, and Chris does an amazing job when he does the Fast Forward Program for the Winter, I mean, amazing job, is constantly work on wrist flexibility. It's pretty, it's not surprising, I won't say it's surprising, it's not even shocking, but it's very interesting, I guess the best word for it. When we see our students, yes, we see hundreds of students a year in person. In fact, we see close to thousand students a year in person. And part of what we do in our camps and part of what we do in schools is when we have a student out there and he or she may be coming over the top of it or we test a little bit of risk flexibility. Okay? So when you look at the top of the swing, and I'm do it down the line here, so when I get up top here, I can take my elbow, can put it in front of me, and I can get that wrist going back to a pretty good angle. If you can't create angle with that trail wrist, that is your leg in the downswing, okay? So because a lot of our students, maybe it's just through time, it's through arthritis, it's through injuries, it's through whatever it they don't have that wrist flexibility. Well, you don't have that wrist flexibility in that downswing, you're going to release it early and you're over the top. Okay? So anything you can do, any type of exercise you can do to create additional wrist flexibility is massive. Now, and here's the deal. Let's say right now you look at mine, you look at my angle here. Okay? And let's say right now you got half of that. Do not expect all of a sudden working risk flexibility and in a week you got that angle. No. You may get one percent more in a week, maybe one percent more in a month, maybe two percent more in a couple months, but you're getting more and you're not losing it. That is huge. Okay, because any additional angle of that wrist or wrist flexibility, in particular the trail wrist, will help the leg in the downswing. Okay, That's what we're looking for that to get that leg and get that club on plane within speed and getting the club on plane. Now, I'm going to talk about the hips a little bit, but I'll be honest with you guys. I'm going go to another question because I can promise you we're going to have some of the same questions we always do. Okay? And I'm gonna bring up the next slide or the next question. And if I It's not about hips, I'll back up. But let me go to the next question real quick. It's not okay. Okay. Okay. Well, in the next couple of questions, what about hips? I'll get back to it. Okay. Go ahead. Okay. No, no, we're good. Go, we're good. Okay, I like this. I'm running late to the course. What are your best warrior routines with limited time? Okay, well, Jim, here's the deal. That's real, it's kind of hype, that's real arbitrary. Mean, do you mean run like the golf course? You're running, you got five minutes to the course and get on it. I mean, are you getting there half hour early? I mean, when you come to our AAI school, our Alert Additive Vision School and our On Course Instruction School, One of the things we do in our on course instruction school, is I walk you through a forty five minute warm up routine that gets you ready to go on the golf course. Yes. And I know most of you guys aren't going say, well, I don't spend forty five minutes warming up. I'm not seeing that every single time, but for your important rounds, maybe your men's league, for maybe your ladies league, for maybe that couples tournament you had this weekend, maybe you're going to play in Cor de Leon, you're going to go play Pebble Beach, or you're going go play some cool golf courses in Scotland or something, and you're all hooked up to play golf. Yeah, you're going go warm up for forty five minutes to get ready, I go through a whole procedure of how to start, and go from the green to the range, back to the green, get ready to go that first tee. There's a forty five minute routine, okay? But if you've limited time, so the question is if I have limited time. I'm going tell you guys right now, first thing is, is you're going to loosen up. You're not going run up and start hitting some irons and drivers and go hit some putts. You're going go loosen up, okay? And if, let's say you had fifteen minutes and you stretch for ten and that's all you got, I'm happy with that. You know why? Because you're not going to hurt yourself. So you're going to spend as much time as you need to stretch the wrist out, to stretch out your back, to work on your shoulders, to work on your hips, okay? And I'm going to strongly suggest review the Fast Forward program from last year because Chris gives you a warm up routine in there. That was part of the bonuses of what we do. In fact, he worked with me about getting on the golf course, about what do I do before I get out there, and there's stretching, about a ten to fifteen minute stretching routine of getting ready to go out, okay? So you're going to, first of all, you're going to loosen, you're going to stretch. And if all you got time to do is stretch, you're gonna go what? You're gonna go stretch and then get on the golf course, and you got what you got. If you got a few extra minutes, go to the putting green. Hit a few putts, hit a few chips. In fact, if you go hit a few putts and hit a few chips and hit a few pitches in the range, you're warming up your full swing. You guys should know that, okay? If you study my turbo birds with one stone, or you study my information, know you're warm for that swing. So that's it. You got a little extra time, a few putts, few chips, a few pitches. You've got a little extra time beside that, now we get in the range, we hit a few low irons, working that driver, and we go. Again, I don't know how much time you have, but I will tell you this right now. If you have limited time, never ever, ever, ever skip the stretching regimen, okay? In fact, I have a regimen I put, and I have it on our website we have in Single Plane Academy. It was an on demand where you literally, I showed you how to stretch in a golf cart. So you literally go to that first tee and you got ten minutes before you're waiting to go in that tee box. It showed you how do some stretch exercises on the cart before you hit that tee, okay? Because guys, the last thing I want you to do is, oh, I got five minutes to run the tee, I gotta go hit a few drivers and you hurt your wrist, you hurt your knee, you hurt your shoulder because you're not loosened up or not limbered up. Golf's over. I mean, you're you've just you've ruined your golf game for a period of time, if not forever, okay? So you always stretch. That's the most important thing. And then you start adding on. If you got a little bit more time, putt. Make sure you putt. That's your most amount of scoring. Then what's the second most? Your driver. Third most is your wedges. Okay? And kind of use that in that limited warm up routine. All right. Let's go to next question. Okay. Okay. What's the best way to make sure I'm on plane on the backswing, into the downswing and the impact when I'm adding speed? That's like everything. Okay. Well, mean, that's a whole dissertation. How do you make sure you're on plane in the backswing, the downswing and impact? Here's the deal. We talked about from position zero to position one, position one to position two. Okay? Now, I'm going to talk a little bit about right now in the downswing. And this is what the number one This is like the moment our students get, and this is the number one issue we see with our students and the issues what they have from the top of their swing in their transition, okay? So they go position one to position two. Now, the movement from position two to position three is the start of the downswing, and what a majority of golfers do, and a high majority of golfers, and why they come over top of the golf ball, and guys, know, a majority of golfers come over top of the ball, is when they go to position two to position three, their first movement is their shoulders and hips spin to get to position three. So they go from position two to position three and they spin, okay? And they spin to create force and speed and obviously the club comes over top of it. All right, what we're gonna do is we're gonna go to position one, position two, and as we drop down, now we're gonna drop this hip down. In fact, you can try to feel this. When you go to the top of position two, put your hand on your hip, okay, and I want you to push it towards your lead toe or your left toe. Not the heel, not the middle of the foot. From the top of the swing, push that hip towards your lead toe. Notice what I did here. So I'm at the top of the swing, I'm taking this hip, I'm pushing it towards that toe. What does that pushing motion do? That's the drop of the hip, which then drops the trail shoulder, which then gets the club on plane towards impact. So from the top of your swing, your shoulder goes down and goes to impact, but what happens is it's done by what we call the kinematic sequence, okay? And the first movement is at the top of the swing, the lead knee, the left knee goes towards that lead toe, so it fires towards that lead toe. That lead knee going towards that lead toe allows the hip to drop, which then allows or pushes the shoulder down. Because what most people do from the top of the swing is they take this lead knee and they they spin it out. And the second they straighten that knee, this hip goes across, the shoulder gets thrown out, and you come across the shot. And it happens every time. So when you ask Smo, What starts your downswing? He said, My left knee, my lead knee. Where do you feel your downswing? I feel my lead knee. That's why we work so diligently from the top of the swing, getting this knee flexed towards that toe. Flex that knee towards the toe. In fact, both knees flex towards that lead toe. That then allows the trail hip to drop, which then forces the trail shoulder to drop, which then gets the club on plane. It feels like, as Mo described it, I swing under me. I swing under me. That's what he described. So instead of him swinging around you, I swing under me. So what happens is so people work real hard, position one, position two, and they do a good job. And then they get to position two, and their first move is boom. And then once you get that first move of this, golf swings over. You can't catch up. So you've got to work from position two to get that knee flexed towards that lead toe. But you can feel it by putting your hand on your trail hip and pushing that towards that lead toe. That's the feel that gets the club down to impact, which allows you to get the club on plane. All right. The guys are sending me something to drink. All right. Yeah. So we're good. So, all right. So let's go to this question. Okay. At impact or just before, do you purposely snap your left wrist to close the club? No, you do not, Arthur. It's a great question. I'll tell you what. Would probably be go back to that question real quick. This would literally be the perfect question to put on for this plane the chain or swing thing every single time, right here. At impact or Jesse Ford, you perfectly snap your left wrist to do the club face. Now, because here's what happens, and I'm gonna show you that on the plane the chain first. When I take the club here and I go back to impact, okay, I get that left wrist and I go through as long as I can, the left wrist flattens out, the lead wrist. Now, that chain rolls it over, but here's what happens. When I put a club in my hand, okay, and I've got a good grip on the club, so I gotta get ahold of the club, and I take the club head to the top of the swing, now I go to impact. If I get from the toe being up at waist high, go to the top of the swing, now the toe's up coming down, now the toe squares up because the body, the back of the lead hand is going to flatten out. That's natural occurrence, okay, long as the club's on plane. Well, if that happens, hands go through, the force of the club is going to roll the hands over. It does it every single time, so I don't have to snap that wrist flat to get that toe rolled over. I don't have to do that because natural occurrence with a good grip is from the top of the swing, the hand's gonna go flat towards the impact. In fact, you can kind of test this. You could take and think about if you're gonna hit something. So let's say somebody's sitting here, you're gonna hit something like a wall. If I took my hand back and I hit it with force, the hand's gonna go flat. I'm not gonna hit with my thumb going into the wall, I'm not gonna hit with my pinky going into the wall, that'll hurt. I'm gonna hit with the back of that hand going into that wall, okay? And guys, when you're hitting it and now visualize that leading to that club matching the back of that hand. So when I'm trying to hit something, all I'm trying to do is get club faces to square up according to the back of my hand. Now, if my grip's too strong, well, guess what? Now my club face is going to close-up. Or if my grip's too weak, now my club face is going to be open. So if you have a good grip or a good hold of the club, this club face then follows. Well, that's the beauty, and that's why I say it's so critical to get clubs that fit you. Just think about it right now. If this club fits me perfect, and I've got a good hold of this club, a good grip on and I take the club back to this, to the top in good position, so now I come down, I'm going, I'm getting down to position three, so the toe's up in the club, and I go to impact. Well that leading edge, that back of my hand flattens up going down the target, which is naturally going to occur, that club face isn't going square up. Well, let's pretend right now the live fish seem perfect. That's gonna cut through that grass absolutely perfect. I mean, it's gonna cut through it and make a divot every time. It's gonna be absolutely beautiful. But if that heel digs, now what's gonna happen is it's gonna grab. And if it grabs because the heel digs, it jars my body. In fact, my hand is now what? As it grabs, the toe rolls over at impact. It's gonna shut the face down or vice versa if the toe digs. So if this club doesn't fit me perfect, my hand's not gonna wanna flatten out. In fact, it's gonna feel terrible when it happens. So when you have a perfectly fit club for the swing you're working on or working towards or the swing you have with a decent single plane swing, all you're trying to do is get good grip, is to get that club back base back to square, which is gonna naturally occur with the back of the hand going down that line. Now we come down, hold that angle through and it'll release over. And that release occurs, club head will release it every time. And I've shown this example many, many, many times. I'm gonna take this club, I'm gonna put it in front of me, and I'm just gonna balance this club in my hand. I'm gonna take it back, the toe goes up. Now, as I go down, toe goes back to square, and now watch what happens. Toe releases right over. Even if I get my hands pushed forward, toe releases right over. Now, if I put it up and down like this, it's a pendulum. Guess what? Toe doesn't release over, but that's not the way we hit a golf club. We stand on the inside. So now, I take the club back, toe goes up, go back to impact. Now watch this, I just let it go on its own, toe releases over on its own. So I don't have to snap my wrist back to get that toe rolled over. Not at all. Not at all. Now, if your club doesn't fit you right, if the club's too flat, too upright, it doesn't cut the middle of that club when it makes impact, you may have to feel that because you may be forcing that club over and that's going to cause issues in your elbows, your shoulders, your neck. It's going to cause some pretty serious issues. Let's make sure they fit you guys right and work on getting that back of that hand towards that target every single time. Okay, alright, let's go to next question. Alright, I have a short backswing. Will single plane improve my ball flight and distance? Well, Damon, first of all, I have short backswing. Most single plane golfers, when we get older, we have short backswings, we lose flexibility. Moe Norman, when he was older, he had a very short backswing compared to his younger. In fact, we got VDO Mo in his 20s, taking, he takes the club pass parallel with his driver. We got VDO Mo in his late 60s, he's getting basically about this, you know, waist high with his hands because he lose flexibility. You guys, here's the deal. Length of the backswing is very irrelevant compared to holding leverage angles and keeping those leverage angles in technique through impact. Because let's say I had a very, very long backswing and I cast the club in the downswing, I'm losing all my speed in the downswing, so by the time I make impact, I've lost my speed. Versus if I keep a short backswing and now hold that angle, where I got good leverage, now I can deliver the maximum speed through impact. So length of the backswing is very irrelevant. It's not saying it's irrelevant, it's very minor for swing speed or distance compared to leverage angle. We've already talked about leverage angle, so I would rather have you have a short backswing and hold that leverage than have a long backswing and lose that angle every single time. No doubt about it, okay? And so, you guys. They're adjusting the camera because we lose our light during the night. So, okay. So guys, work on that. Work on the leverage angle. That's the most important thing, to get the distance. And guys, shorter the swing, with good leverage angle, you're fine. You will naturally lose length of the backswing as you get older. It just naturally occurs, okay? With that though, with good leverage, you still have good distance with the ball. All right, let's go to the next question. All right. Mo, at ninety beats per minute, is there an optimal tempo? Paul, here's the deal. Tempo is independent for an individual, okay? And it's interesting because in our AAI school, in our mental game school with Paul Manahan, we actually talk about the three things that you think about in the golf course are balanced, tempo, and tension. Balance, tempo, and tension. Guys, notice I said that. You don't go on the golf course and worry about fundamentals. You can go on the golf course. When we go practice, we think balanced tempo and tension. Do I have good balance? Do I have good tempo? What's my tension? Here's the deal. Tempo, it's the When you work on tempo, it has a lot to do with the situation you're in, okay, and what I mean by that is, and the club you're hitting. Am I nervous over the shot? Am I not nervous over the shot? Because typically when you're nervous, we tend to get a fast tempo. We tend to get nervous, we tend to get quick, we tend to have issues over it. Tempo also, a lot of people think that tempo is a fix for flexibility. It is not. Okay? So if you can't separate your hips and your shoulders through, in fact, even a little separation, tempo is not going to fix that. Okay? People want to sit there and say, well, if I have a really good tempo, I can, I'll, I'll, you know, hips and shoulders separate. Not true. I'm going to tell you guys right now, the best thing I'm going tell you to do, if you want to experiment with this a little bit, when you get over a golf shot, I want you to set up over a shot, okay? Want you just to get over a normal golf shot and hit it. Okay? Hit a normal golf shot. And then what I want you to do is get over a shot, the same shot, and I want you to slow down the backswing as much as you can. I mean slow it down. If you want, count one Mississippi, two Mississippi in the backswing. I want you to get up over it, I want you to get over this shot, and I want you to slow it down. Okay, and hit the shot. Okay? And then I want you to get over it and slow it down some more. In fact, you say, Man, I can't go slower than that. Yeah, you can. Try to go even slower than that. Okay? Sit up and try to go. See what happens. Because here's what happens. Most people, what they do is they don't create good tempo because they never experimented with. Because I'm giving you some drills we do in the AI school. I'm giving you those shortcuts here in our mental game school, okay? Work on that. Experiment what a good back swing is for you. A good rhythm, a good tempo for you is the back swing. Because here's what happens, when you get quick, we tend to come over the top of it or not separate properly. Develop a good rhythm and tempo that works for you. Okay? Don't try to copy somebody else. Don't try to mimic somebody because remember, we're dealing with the length of your backswing. We're dealing with what? The Eurythm over top of the golf ball. We're dealing with a lot of different issues that you are different than everybody else, but if you create a good tempo for you, and then come up with a way that you can think through that tempo, like, can I think relaxed, can I think slow, can I think soft, can I think Think up with some type of scenario, something you put in your mind so when you get in a stressful situation on the golf course, maybe you're hitting over a leg that makes you nervous, maybe you got real tight out of bounds in a hole, or maybe whatever it is, maybe you're playing with somebody that's making you nervous? You can go back to what? Think of something in your head that puts you in a good tempo and that good rhythm that gets you back in that good state that brings that tempo out in you, okay? Work on that. Work on that a lot. That's about I'll tell you what, you want us to talk for hours in this? Mental game school. This is one of the big conversations we have in our AI mental game school. We go over this extensively, and I bring in experts all about this, okay? So, alright, next question. Alright, best way to start the downswing, tendency to get steep. We just talked about it, John. Now, if you get steep, okay, the best thing you can do is set up. I'll do this real quick for you guys. You guys can look online with this. We got position zero. We're gonna go back to position one, so I'm gonna go, you know, the length of this, one foot back, go into position one. Alright. Alright. So we got that. Perfect. Alright. Now, I'm gonna take some, I'm gonna split it between the two. So right now I have a yardstick that's between position zero and position one. Now I go position one, position two. Now, as I go to position two, this is lined up with a yardstick. So I'm dropping it down, it's going down that yardstick. If I get steep, it's gonna be in the inside of that yardstick. Flat obviously is above the yardstick. So I go position one, position two, I'm on that yardstick, and I can mimic that. So I can do that with my single plane position trench, very easy to see, or I can take a club and put it in my hand. I can go position one, position two, and the button in the club is gonna point to that line between the two. That's how you can determine if you're steep or not, okay? Now, most of the time, those that get steep, it's because, just like we talked about, are not creating the correct wrist angle on the trail wrist and or they're flying their elbow out, So we want to get our elbow in a good position. That trail elbow doesn't move very much in the backswing. Notice, position one, position two. Look how close that elbow stayed to my body, okay? Look how close. It didn't fly out, go high into a bad position, So if you get a steep golf swing, I'll work with a single plane position trainer, work on getting that butt in, lined up with that, and then also when you put the club in the hand, make sure your elbows get in a good position. We call it think about it. Right now, if I was a waiter, we talk about this, the waiter's tray position a lot. You know, I'm holding a waiter, a tray, we see a waiter coming towards me, he's got a tray in his hand, and he's carrying it with a bunch of drinks on that tray, you know, and he's walking to you, okay? That's a very strong strength position. Now if I take that and I lean over, that's the golf swing position. So I put the club, if I take this club and I put it in my hand, okay, and I lean over and I go to that same position, that's the same position you're on the back swing. That's the same strength position of the trail hand, okay? It's not flying that elbow out, that's a weak position. It's like getting elbow too far under, that's a weak position. That's the same position you're in. Getting in that good position will allow you to what? Get that butt in on plane or get the club on plane and not be too steep. All right, let's go to next question. Okay. Alright, is there a specific drill for keeping the lead knee braced without straightening during impact? Yeah, well, I mean, let's bring the swing, plane, playing your chain or the swing thing out again. Guys, it's really true. I mean, and you guys, anybody want, if you ever see me play a tournament, now this time of year I play one, it seems like every Monday, every Monday or Tuesday of the week, I play a lot of events. I mean, this is in my bag. This is what I warm up with, and I like this because, here, I'm gonna show you something. I could take a club and say, okay, let's just swing the club and let's go through, let's work on keeping that knee flexed, But notice, I can hold onto that club, I can flip that club under, I can do all kinds of weird things with this club, keeping that knee flexed. Is that still good work? Sure, it's some decent work, but I mean, I can do really funky things with this club as I'm doing that, okay? Now, I take this swing thing, this playing the chain, I get up over it and I just swing it nice and easy, trying to keep my feet down, my knee flexed. I can feel the release of the club, and especially if I feel like I'm trying to throw it to right field. Because as I'm doing this, and I know you guys can't see this, but it feels like it's pulling me that direction. It literally feels like somebody's trying to pull me this direction, which is a feeling I want you guys to get. That's what the release of the club feels like, and this knee actually braces that release position. That's the beauty of it, whereas when you guys come across the shot, the knee is straightening, and number one, it's causing you to come across it, but it's also kind of a reaction because you come across it and it pulls it across the body. When I feel like I'm throwing it to right field, this is bracing it, and that's what I'm trying to get you to feel. So it's like it does a kind of a double thing here. Number one is, when you throw it to right field, it feels like it's pulling out on me, and this is bracing it, and that's what we want. We want that brace because that's what allows you to release the club, release the speed, okay? That's what we're looking for. Now, some of you guys will do it, comp a little bit off your trail foot, that's fine. I try to get through impact where both feet are down, both knees are flexed, both knees are flexed towards that lead toe, and as you come down through impact, that lead knee is flexing more towards that lead toe, and when you use the swing thing, it feels like it's pulling you towards that target. That's to release the club. So that's really the best drill you can do, and really visually look at that. The other drill you can do on that is review my chipping information because we have the same motion in the chip and the pitch. And if you can't do it in a basic, simple, little, easy pitch or chip, you're obviously not gonna do it in the full swing, okay? So I mean, you're moving the club five, ten, fifteen miles an hour in a chip. Maybe you're moving it twenty, twenty five miles in a pitch. You think when you start cranking seventy, eighty miles an hour, if you can't do it at twenty miles an hour, can do it at seventy miles an hour? No way. That's so review the two birds with one stone, review that information, and I promise you, that's it talks about how the shortcane relates to the full swing, and one of the biggest thing in there is how to work the lower body and the kinematic sequence, how you build up from chipping to pitching into the full swing. I strongly suggest doing that. Alright. We got another question? All right. Giveaway time. All right, giveaway. Okay, well we got a giveaway tonight.
