1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,919
In golf three. Only smart practice
makes perfect. You have used your brain.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,080
Ego can fly that their instinct.
They can fly human beings. You

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,640
want to fly, you have to
study the aerodynamics for the golf throe is

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,519
not human beings natural motion. You
have to learn the technique the nuanced factors

5
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:27,399
to hit the ball like outside in. You don't think about the curve.

6
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:33,039
You just think about your arm's motion. Your arm's motion is identical with the

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:41,359
baseball swing and your bodies will help
your club head to a forty five degrees

8
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,479
three. You have to use your
brain. For managers, you have to

9
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,520
think and how to grip the club
head wisely. Hey, this is an

10
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,520
acumenate from Madrid to Spain and I
play that Santandard golf. This is called

00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:03,560
First Smarter number nine hundred and eighty. Learning the golf swing through Physics with

12
00:01:03,599 --> 00:01:10,599
the author Jun Chang Wang. We're
Jason. This is Golf's Murterer, sharing

13
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,359
stories, tips and insights from great
golf minds to help you lower your score

14
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,840
and raise your golf IQ. Here's
your host, Fred Green. Welcome to

15
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,120
the Golf Smarter Podcast. Jason,
thank you very much, thank you for

16
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,040
having me here. Well thank you
for reaching out, because I gotta be

17
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:37,000
honest, this is a real stretch
for my capacity of intellect and knowledge.

18
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,560
I never took physics as a student
in school. I don't understand physics,

19
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,640
and clearly I don't understand the golf
swing. But I'm hoping that you can

20
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:53,840
help that make make that easier for
me and whoever's troubling with this as well.

21
00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:02,200
Excellent understand that most people has no
back Wrongbaltiy engineering and I understand right.

22
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:09,360
So you were trained as a mechanical
engineer and where term many decades?

23
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:16,199
About forty decades, four decades,
okay, four decades. Where did you

24
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:23,319
grow up? I'll grow up in
Taiwan, okay? And what brought you

25
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:31,120
to the United States about nineteen ninety
one? And why I immigrant to the

26
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:39,159
United States? And then I worked
as a boiler and the machinery inspect her

27
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:46,000
for more than twenty twenty six twenty
seven years in America. When I was

28
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,560
in Taiwan, I was a mechanical
engineer in a steer yard and shipyard.

29
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:59,879
And also in addition to that,
I worked for the commercial UH commercial area

30
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:07,639
for for many years. But I
still interested in my mechanical engineering business because

31
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:15,199
I like it because I used my
brains to thinking to solve problems. Okay,

32
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,360
well I'm glad hopefully we can solve
a big problem today. When did

33
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,919
you start or how did you start? Playing golf? Oh that's a lot.

34
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:32,080
When I kept to the States at
first, Uh, I like fly

35
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,439
fishing. I think, yeah,
fly fishing, and that's oh, that's

36
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:45,479
very genius approach. So I but
I couldn't find any any any books about

37
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:51,599
the theory about fry fishing. So
I studied for a lot for for for

38
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:58,159
so several years because it's very genius
approach. I found how you can make

39
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,840
more powerful uh casting? Right,
that's it. Later on one as as

40
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:11,360
as many people practice au golf.
Right there, I go practice golf,

41
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:16,120
practice golf, and when I practice
golf, I think, hey, the

42
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:24,480
same I did same in mechanical engineering. By h point of view, the

43
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,319
golf sewing has the same reason reasoning
with the flight fishing. So I use

44
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:41,120
my study of my flight fishing outcome
results apply to golf playing when I play

45
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:46,120
golf, right, I asked olcol
Because the golf sewing is actually it's a

46
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:55,399
kind of rotary emotions as governed by
physics and mechanical engineering. So I asked

47
00:04:56,199 --> 00:05:06,079
the theory principle to golf instructors.
But many questions they cannot answer me.

48
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:13,120
No, I would think that they
don't have the understanding of the mechanical theory

49
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,000
like you do. I don't want
to blame them because they have they have

50
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:25,800
a lot of spirits and knowledge,
but they no, they have no background

51
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,120
of physics. They no order to
about a nutance law, or no about

52
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:39,360
mechanical engineering. So almost most of
them they cannot answer my my questions.

53
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,759
So I was frustrated, frustrated,
and my my body has some defects all

54
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:55,959
right, and I cannot wait during
the fly fishing. My arms has my

55
00:05:56,199 --> 00:06:00,040
body has some problems. It's very
hard to to make the all the fly

56
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:06,079
fishing very very well. So I
just started. I started start start studying

57
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:16,639
the the the nuance of the suing. Then I used that to apply that

58
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:21,519
one to the golf suit. Right, because they cannot answer my questions.

59
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:30,160
Nobody to ask about right, even
mechanically engineer, they just follow the the

60
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,560
instructor coaches instruction. Right. They
cannot they's just do it. They didn't

61
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:44,319
think I'm a guys like to thinking
in addition to my study in fry fishing.

62
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:55,279
So I start switched to UH if
the swing golf suit for first question,

63
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,879
as they told me the U for
instance, the smash factor. That's

64
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:05,399
what smash factor for? Right?
They cannot answer my what just they just

65
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:13,360
tell me the efficient efficiency of the
suit. Are very curious. Then I

66
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:15,720
said, hey, I would like
to study that, right, So I

67
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:23,319
used in my mechanical engineer background and
the fly fishing study results. I calculate

68
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:30,079
the the suing motion. Then it
takes a long time because it's very hard

69
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:42,439
to find make out a This the
swing swing golf swing formula. Okay,

70
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,319
that's based on the mutant's law.
Based on the mutant's law, this formula

71
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:59,879
contents the factors affecting the ball speed
and bold distance. So then I found

72
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:07,319
too many fests some factors affecting the
ball the smash factor and the ball distance,

73
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,199
and in fact only two factors.
One is a co r of the

74
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:22,879
collision between the golfer between a golf
ball and golf UH and the goal UH

75
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:30,639
and the golfer holding a club.
So it's the club and the club head

76
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,840
and the ball. Yeah. The
the CR you the CR means of the

77
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:41,279
collision. Right, the collision,
as far as I understand, has not

78
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:50,840
been addressed in the golf world.
But this continued acceleration in the in the

79
00:08:52,960 --> 00:09:01,279
in the heating impact, right,
this is UH somewhat revolutionary. Discover the

80
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:09,519
what is the continue the acceleration is
the result of the force, and the

81
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:16,799
force generate acceleration. So the general
why is the generation acceleration is send meaning

82
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:26,759
us the force. So the critical
the crucial factor affecting the bold speed is

83
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:37,440
the is the is the UH continued
acceleration. The concept of the accelery acceleration

84
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:43,679
is send us. You know the
rifle, the rifle. Sure, the

85
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:50,679
rifle has long barrels, right,
yeah, the barrels. The bullet bullet

86
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,519
go through the barrel. There's a
continued acceleration. If you'll cut the barrel,

87
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:01,960
have or cut off the barrel,
the bullet w won't fast, Huh

88
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:11,279
if you cut the right because the
continue acceleration in the barrel keeps the bullet

89
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:18,679
go should fast, should further?
Should a long distance? Did not know

90
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:22,679
that? Okay, you think about
do do hunt? Do you hunt?

91
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,559
Now? Okay, you're the rifle. The barrels, the distance, the

92
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:33,679
length of the rifle, the shorter
the life. If you cut the barrels

93
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,799
in shorter, cut in the half, your your bullet won't won't go very

94
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:46,240
fast or won't go very fast far. So that's the same reason you have

95
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:58,320
to use continued acceleration. How to
increase how to increase the continued acceleration?

96
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:05,840
The men I thought it is make
a good In popular term is of pivot

97
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:15,039
motion, the pivot motion right,
use your le use your left leg as

98
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,120
a pivot. Then you can turn
your hip. That's the pivot motion.

99
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:28,440
But in physics or in a mechanical
engineering you should say offset swing offset office

100
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:39,000
means you you'll move the the axis
of the rotation away from the center center

101
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:48,120
line of the body. That approach
would increase your power, your heating power,

102
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,240
the energy comes from that. So
everybody said we need it nowadare's many

103
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:03,679
golfer will ask the students have a
bad good peevot motion? The peevot motion

104
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:11,559
you know that? Yeah? Yeah, You'll use your left left leg as

105
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,080
a spindle, then you turn your
hip. That's av emotion. If you

106
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:22,519
can make it make a good privot
emotion, then you can you can exert

107
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:31,399
a good power and preparation to hit
the ball. Okay, so I'm sorry

108
00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:33,960
to interrupt, but I'm going to
take a quick time out here. It's

109
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:37,679
kind of like when you leave your
iPhone or your leave your phone out in

110
00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:41,159
the sun too long and it overheats
and shuts down. My head starting to

111
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,279
overheat and shut down with all this
information, So okay, take a quick

112
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:54,320
break and we'll be back right after
this. I'm referring to you as Jason.

113
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:58,799
I know that your name, and
on the book you go by your

114
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:01,879
name, which is and Wang.
Yeah, but you prefer to be called

115
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,000
Jason, So Jason. But if
if you're looking for people are looking for

116
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,399
the book which is called Learning the
Golf Swing through Physics, and I'm holding

117
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,120
the book up now, Learning the
Golf Rings Golf Learning the Golf Swing through

118
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:24,480
Physics by Junshen Wang from Taiwan.
I'm we have to make this so I

119
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:30,240
can understand this. I'm sure there's
a lot of other people who already understand

120
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,480
what you're saying, but I'm gonna
work on this. Have you ever are

121
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:39,720
you familiar with the book The Golfing
Machine by Homer Kelly. You've been there?

122
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,720
Is it The Hitting Machine or the
Golfing Machine. No, okay,

123
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:58,759
is that it's a It's a book
by that was written almost a hundred years

124
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:05,480
ago called Homer Kelly called the Golfing
Machine, and he took he took a

125
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:11,039
very scientific approach to the golf swing, which I think you would relate to

126
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,799
if you're not familiar with it.
I think that's what Bryson Deshambo is a

127
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,519
student of that book, the details
of that book, and he's kind of

128
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:26,000
a science nerd, so you would
probably understand what he was saying and probably

129
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,519
confirm your theories at the very least. Let's talk about the Newton's Law of

130
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:43,639
motion and how how it is relevant
to golf. You mean he's the point

131
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,679
of view off my book. Yes, yes, please, okay, okay.

132
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:52,679
While you'll learn, you have to
get to the point. What is

133
00:14:52,759 --> 00:15:00,799
the key point to h He hit
the ball with a powerful it right,

134
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:07,279
and many people know not much about
the physics. For instance, how to

135
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:15,320
increase the c o R like a
c Armys. While approach is to hold

136
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:24,399
a grip, the powerful grip to
the club right. But why how to

137
00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:31,360
do that? Many good one good
thing is you cannot hold it, hold

138
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:39,960
the club very tight you had to
make use of the we called it suddenly

139
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:46,279
apply the load all right too,
which is beings up or you suddenly grip

140
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:54,559
tighter, then the gripping power will
almost doubble according to the physics. So

141
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:03,159
that's you know, when you hit
the ball where you grab the however,

142
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:10,440
grip the club you cannot hold extremely
extremely tight. You have to use use

143
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:21,759
the physics phenomenon too to increase your
gripping power. Like you like a Soydier

144
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:27,960
when it hit his enemy with his
acts or sword, when he stares at

145
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:36,519
his enemy, when he topped on
his enemy, he was suddenly grip grip

146
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,879
the his sword very tight. Right
that he says, suddenly does it suddenly

147
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:51,759
applied the lord or lord sort when
we when we grip the club, we

148
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:56,840
cannot grip it extremely tight. Right, And based on physics, you know

149
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:03,159
where is the most critical point of
the gripping the gripping point I as I

150
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:11,119
as my I as my droid illustrations
in my book. That's the the the

151
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:18,960
start uh uh the end point closer
to the ball. That is the most

152
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:25,519
important point. You have to pay
attention on that point. So based on

153
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,400
this principle, if you know this
principle. You'll get the direction as to

154
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:37,400
how to practice the ball all right, And you know the as I mentioned,

155
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:48,920
the the U continued acceleration, which
means up during the d during the

156
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,160
during the heat the impact. You
have to use additional strength to hit the

157
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:59,559
ball right. And if you know
that, you you you have you get

158
00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:03,440
you you will have the direction.
See how to increase your power. You

159
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:10,519
have to pay attention to your make
a good pivot motion. If you can

160
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:15,160
make a good pivot motion, then
you can have it. You can perform

161
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:25,640
a a good, good continued acceleration. In the meantime, the heating power

162
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:33,839
will increase. That's important. So
that's why I wrote this book to the

163
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,599
golfers, so they give them all. My book here is not by not

164
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:47,920
by experience, not by popular opinion, but based on the physics, based

165
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,920
on the Newton's law. To the
arrives the conclusion. So all the conclusion

166
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,200
supposed to be the well I will
supposed to be correct. It should be

167
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:12,359
followed. So I'm curious when you
started to dig deep into the smash factor

168
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:22,119
and the cor and understanding Newton's law
of motion, how did it impact your

169
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:29,160
golf game? Did you start hitting
the ball much farther. No, because

170
00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:33,680
in fact, wait a minute,
In fact, I try to improve my

171
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:40,039
body. That's why I study.
Because I can seem very good at the

172
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,640
left, at the left or left
side, but for the right side,

173
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,960
I cannot because my body is very
rigid on the one side. So my

174
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,200
doctor says, you cannot continue use
data side. You have to use the

175
00:19:56,279 --> 00:20:02,839
other side, just the the right
hand side. Right. Because when the

176
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,440
fly fish I found, I draw
back, I cannot move forward. So

177
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:15,480
I on one side, I try
to correct my body. The other side,

178
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:22,480
I study the golf swing right,
and with my mechanical and physics UH

179
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:30,960
background, and then I discover so
many theory, many reasoning, oh,

180
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,359
regarding the golf swing. Because the
golf swing it's not humans natural movement.

181
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:47,319
Right. And for the baseball you
can, for you can hit the but

182
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:52,039
quite easily. No one, no
baseball hitting school, No absolutely though,

183
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:59,039
but there's many golf swing schools.
And here are a lot of fishing a

184
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:04,880
lot of money. Yes people for
instant people said, people said, uh,

185
00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:11,160
the what they called it the outside
in the swing? The outside EMA

186
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:18,839
for myself, that shouldn't be happened
to send us the uh baseball hitting,

187
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:26,240
if you follow the follow the rule, follow the rule you want slowly,

188
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,319
you won't make any mistake. You
cannot. Uh, that's that's too many

189
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:38,079
theory, all right, too many
professional the apparent You see the the golf

190
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:45,720
swing from like from an angle down
you that's apparent. That's an apparent.

191
00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:53,720
Uh, swing pass the actual swing
pass send us baseball hitting, your arms

192
00:21:55,319 --> 00:22:03,160
right, always, always go with
your flank, decide right, and your

193
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:12,920
arms always goes not keep closer to
your torso in that situation you have strengths

194
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:21,519
work come out. So many many
people just you see see the apparent the

195
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,799
past. So they try to swing
light this way over the top it's at

196
00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:32,680
the angle. Then that's wrong.
You cannot. You should because the arms

197
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:41,079
and torso your body must be in
synchron synchronized, must synchronize. You cannot

198
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:48,960
separate. So your arms supposed to
supposed to be in relative motion. Your

199
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:56,079
arms go with your your flank,
right flank, if you use the right

200
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:02,799
hand, always go with the right
flank rather than there's a relative motion.

201
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,799
You have to understand the relative motion. And Okay, we're going to take

202
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:10,680
a time out and we're going to
come back and talk about relative motion.

203
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,480
We'll be sure sure to this game
improvement, insights and advice never seems to

204
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:21,680
age, which is why we hear
at Golf Smarter focus on evergreen content that

205
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:26,240
stays fresh and helpful for years and
years. That's why our greatest asset is

206
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:32,720
our library of interviews, which is
why Golf Smarter Mulligans was created. Each

207
00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:37,559
Friday, we bring back episodes that
are no longer available on any podcast app,

208
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,599
including what you're listening to right now. So this week we go back

209
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,880
to a conversation with author Paul Staley
about his book Why We Golf. There's

210
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,400
that old cliche, it's fear and
greed to move the market. I think

211
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,319
the dad explains an incredible amount of
what happens to us out on the golf

212
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,359
course, and a talk in the
book about how you can take all your

213
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,119
bad shots and you can put them
into two buckets. You've got the fear

214
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,359
bucket and the green bucket. You've
got the short sighted, you've got to

215
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,920
get over a bunker, you've got
a narrow tea shot, you've got a

216
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:17,599
difficult downhill put. Anytime that's your
weight stays on your backside, that's a

217
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,960
fear shot. You're already backing away
from it before you even finished it,

218
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,799
you know. And then there are
the green shots we're playing, well,

219
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,039
we were stroking it right down the
middle, So the next time we're out

220
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:29,519
there, we're just going to go
for a couple more yards off the tea.

221
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,680
So you start coming over the top, you're pulling it into the trees,

222
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:36,920
or you were seeing the line well
on your pots, so you're gonna

223
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,319
be able to get a bit more
aggressive. Now you've got three feet coming

224
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,200
back. It's like this metronome and
you go back and forth between those in

225
00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:48,119
terms of how you play the game. That's Paul Staley, author of Why

226
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,039
We Golf, on episode two hundred
and twenty four of our sister podcast,

227
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:56,759

00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,880
and Golf Smarter Mulligan's our sister podcasts
that revisits the best of Golf Smarter episodes

232
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:26,279
that are no longer available. It's
released every Friday from wherever you're listening right

233
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:34,000
now. There's a couple of things
that I want to cover, including the

234
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,400
definition of smash factor from your perspective. But let's start with relative motion.

235
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:48,519
What came by relative motion? Okay? Wo see okays in the lake,

236
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,480
you see the other side, go
straight? Right, go straight? Why

237
00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:59,240
is the water coming from the surrebra
the water coming down? You'll ado,

238
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,039
you'll you you want to sue to
the the other side. You cannot go

239
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:07,720
straight, you have to at the
angle. Okay, sure, right,

240
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:14,400
that's such a relative relative motion.
That's same thing in the golf string.

241
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:22,240
Really, many many people says the
outside in a very beginner. I asked

242
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:27,400
them because I understand them. They
did not confuse to wish them wish the

243
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:40,640
concept. Actually golf is same US
baseball hitting the arms, arms route,

244
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,720
if you don't move, if it's
golfer, don't move your arms is the

245
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:55,759
same US the baseball from top to
down to to your to your waist and

246
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:02,599
then hit out, extend out,
call identical. Because that's human beings.

247
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:10,839
The best power you can you can
exert out, it can develop. That's

248
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:19,759
that's a that's a that's definitely uh
a a rule. Right, And unfortunately,

249
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:26,640
when golf's sewing, you are bent, you're bent forward, right,

250
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:33,720
but you're bend forward, you are
you are still supposed them a space war.

251
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:41,680
Your arms go to the let's let's
eat somewhat exaggerate goal with you're a

252
00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:48,759
side frank, and then push forward
identical with the golf baseball throe. The

253
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:55,240
only thing is your bent mm hm. Then you have to make a off

254
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:59,799
with a pivot motion. This pivot
motion, you know, the pivot motion

255
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:11,640
will make the circular motion into a
crack into a angle motion forward to hit

256
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:18,039
the ball. Okay, that is
the so you you look like everybody.

257
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:22,599
So it's specially the beginner. When
they said the veterans, they hit the

258
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:29,680
ball, they are suing the swing
his arms at the angle at forty five

259
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:36,640
angle. The beginner's all I know
at the angle. That's then he made

260
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:44,319
a mistake. That's apparent. That's
apparent angle. He should basically he should

261
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:49,960
follow them as a base baseball heating. He should comes down, but his

262
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:56,480
body is turned so his body met
his back. The club had moved at

263
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:07,480
the angle to hit the ball rather
than rather than he's suing the club at

264
00:29:07,519 --> 00:29:12,680
the forty five degrees angle. That's
wrong in case you're suing that the club

265
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,920
and the club had at a forty
five degrees at the very beginning. If

266
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:29,079
you move your if you rotate your
porcel, then your pass will become so

267
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:36,039
called extremely outside in that's many mistake
that many beginners, even myself at the

268
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:41,920
beginning, while I listened to the
this uh, I found at discover this

269
00:29:42,759 --> 00:29:52,720
this nuanced mistake. Right, they
should not hit at the forty five degrees

270
00:29:52,839 --> 00:30:07,480
angle because the golfing swing pass is
is composed of arms motion and and your

271
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:17,160
corso or Bobby's peoplet motion. That's
a current at the angle. So the

272
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:26,119
the swim pass supposed to be Uh, your arms like a baseball hitty moved

273
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:32,799
down. But because your body move, you're a swim path ahead. That

274
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:41,119
becomes a forty five degrees angle.
That makes the swim pass okay, okay.

275
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,720
And you know one of the things
that intrigued me in the in your

276
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:52,359
book about what you call the undiscovered
stories between hitting a fade and a draw.

277
00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:57,440
Now, I've always I've always had
a fade to to my shot,

278
00:30:57,559 --> 00:31:03,559
and I kind of embraced it because
I've struggled with hitting a draw. Sometimes

279
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:07,640
it happens, but I just don't
know when it's going to or how to

280
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:10,400
make it work. And many teachers
said, oh no, no, that's

281
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,319
easy. It's just it's in your
head, the faith and draw. Many

282
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,200
as father, I know, many
people will say the keep the club had

283
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:26,000
in the slant faces and hit the
ball, so they would put the slice

284
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:33,079
or whatever. But not that's not
the whole story because in case you don't

285
00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:37,240
have the continue the acceleration, as
I to discuss earlier. Without that,

286
00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:45,799
the ball won't have won't speed,
They won't they won't speed. Only in

287
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,799
my book described very detailed, because
I know many people cannot expread this only

288
00:31:49,920 --> 00:32:00,000
when you use the makes good use
of the acceleration. Acceleration continue acceleration doesn't

289
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:07,240
for additional force. Then the ball
when contact the club has a club faith

290
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:13,240
keep coming and you you can.
You can push it up and slice it

291
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:21,720
so the ball will rotate on make
a quick fast spinning. Oh okay,

292
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:30,720
the very high speed spinning. Then
it creates generates fade or draw. Another

293
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:37,240
thing is another thing important is for
beginners, because I told you the pivot

294
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:43,319
motion right if you'll make a good
privous motion. You're swimming. Your club

295
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:49,480
has swimming passed. It is wrong. It's in this large circle and very

296
00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:55,599
flat, so indu stuation. You
won't make any uh, you won't make

297
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:02,279
any faith or draw if you keep
it right for the beginners, because they

298
00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:08,880
cannot make it make a good circle
right, the circle will be shrink so

299
00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:15,720
he cannot make a good pivot pivot
motion. So he's a club head club

300
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:22,720
and the club head will make an
in word slicing motion. I'm not sure

301
00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:28,440
you can. You can try it. If you make a big circle right,

302
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:35,200
if you make it half, then
your club club club head, it

303
00:33:35,359 --> 00:33:39,359
actually moves forward to you. It
likes you. You can make a slice

304
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:49,920
about the boot and then it creates
it generates a fade, a fade the

305
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,240
motion before you know it. Many
people don't know that. But because you

306
00:33:55,119 --> 00:34:02,039
you can see my book the when
you're where you are. If in the

307
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:07,639
beginner they cannot make a good circle, the big circle, the circle maybe

308
00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:15,000
only there half, then there's a
difference. There's a difference. There's that

309
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:19,239
this way this way, and they
can make on it this way. So

310
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:24,599
your club had actually make it,
make it like a slice motion. So

311
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:31,320
that's many people. It's for beginners. They declined to hit the favor rather

312
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,480
than a draw. He won't,
he never, he would never ever hit

313
00:34:36,559 --> 00:34:45,119
the draw because it's club moved moved
inward, move inward rather than move outward.

314
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:52,800
So industuation a slice happened that.
I studied that for a while for

315
00:34:52,880 --> 00:35:00,199
a long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also I'm curious do in

316
00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:07,880
looking at physics and studying physics and
the golf swing, there's a heavier club

317
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:14,920
or a heavier club head have any
impact on what the balls the distance of

318
00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:19,639
how far the ball is going to
go. I will say the even your

319
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:25,280
body and your golf club, golf
club head, all right, no matter

320
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:31,880
how heavy they are, little influence
in the bold distance. This is according

321
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,119
to the Bold speed formula. Right, so you don't. I saw some

322
00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:46,400
YouTube some people use that big hammer
trying to swim the big hammer as Oh

323
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,920
my gosh, they waste their time. They don't know that he's they don't

324
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,679
know. They don't study the I
would say, they don't read by book.

325
00:35:55,679 --> 00:36:00,880
Okay, I still keep that book. You waste your time. That's

326
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:09,079
the weight of the club or the
club had won't help because the ball is

327
00:36:09,199 --> 00:36:15,519
so small in weight in comparison,
in comparison with your body, this huge

328
00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:23,199
difference. Right, So the board
distance only affected by two things? Why

329
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:30,000
is the ceo R the other one
is continued acceleration? You'll weight totally of

330
00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:37,960
don't use say no matter how heavy
you're a huge sladge, or use a

331
00:36:37,679 --> 00:36:45,239
harmor the board won't won't go father, god father an inch? No,

332
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,679
absolutely no, don't waste your time? Wow? The why the now?

333
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,239
The golfer there like a like a
driver, Why he can hit father?

334
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:02,000
Because not because it's weight, because
of the design. They are like an

335
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:09,000
energy, like a like a the
the head like what you called it sore

336
00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:16,039
energy and the release energy that helped
the ceo R increase. That's the reason,

337
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:22,639
not because of because of the weight. Well, fascinating why. I

338
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:28,239
hope yes, go ahead. I
hope many people can after reading these books

339
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:34,119
or understanding the physics, they will
know what happened. Don't waste your time

340
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,119
on the tributes And you say,
big hammer, I know you are strong,

341
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:43,039
but totally ill no use Well,
you know, if if you have

342
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:47,159
an understanding of physics, if if
the listener has an understanding of physics and

343
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,400
how to apply it. Then you'll
be absolutely fascinated by this book. I

344
00:37:52,559 --> 00:38:00,880
don't know. Once you understand the
physics how there's no instruction how to apply

345
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:05,639
it. But once you have a
better understanding, you'll know what you're going

346
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,800
to apply again. The book is
called Learning the Golf Swing Through Physics by

347
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:15,360
Junshan Jason Wang, and it's available
everywhere. Were you buy books? Right?

348
00:38:16,559 --> 00:38:22,159
Yeah? Okay, that's another another
story. Why you like to learn

349
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:30,239
something smart? All right? For
golf, you cannot say per practice makes

350
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:36,920
perfect. That's not in golf through. You have to smart practice. Only

351
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:42,000
smart practice make perfect. You have
to use your brand. Ego can fly,

352
00:38:42,159 --> 00:38:45,360
that's their instinct. They can fly. Human beings you want to fly,

353
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:50,280
you have to study the aerodynamics,
right, same thing, same thing

354
00:38:51,159 --> 00:38:53,800
for the golf through. It's not
human beings natural emotion. You have to

355
00:38:54,599 --> 00:39:00,679
learn the technique, the nuance factors
to hit the ball for instant. I

356
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,440
said, use big harmor. I'm
stronger than you. I use a big

357
00:39:05,519 --> 00:39:08,679
harmor to hit you. Waste your
time, right, totally waste your time.

358
00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:17,599
Like outside in you don't think about
the curve yourself, think about your

359
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:24,159
arm's motion. Your arm's motion is
as a stress identical with the baseball swing

360
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:34,039
down to your follow your your your
frank or your torso right and your your

361
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:39,800
torso your bodies people. Soon we
will help your club head to a forty

362
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,159
five degrees swing. You have to
use your brand right for many things,

363
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:52,559
manages. You have to h to
think and how to how to grip the

364
00:39:52,719 --> 00:40:00,000
h club head wisely? Right,
I'll tell you what, tell which which

365
00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:05,800
point of the club is most important? Part? Right? Which part?

366
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,239
When you probably where you're holding the
club, but then where you're holding the

367
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:15,039
club? Yes, holding the club? Okay, which point that's a very

368
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:22,280
important I in my drawing, I
you say reinforce the canty level being that

369
00:40:22,559 --> 00:40:31,639
is the regular a mechanical civil engineerings
drawing, you can tell. Let let

370
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:37,559
let you go for yourself, tell
which point is very important? You know

371
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:45,920
you cannot grab the club extremely tight
from the very beginning, not only fatigue,

372
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:52,000
right, you cannot create the suddenly
apply the load, which is in

373
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:59,599
physical in physics is a double double
the regular force, almost double the regular

374
00:40:59,679 --> 00:41:02,559
force on the subject. Right.
Based on this, you have to study

375
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:09,559
wisely. So that's why it's a
smart practice makes perfect, don't practice make

376
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:15,440
perfect well thank you so much for
this education I really appreciate and best of

377
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:20,079
luck with the book. Really enjoyed
having you on. Thank you, thank

378
00:41:20,159 --> 00:41:23,559
you at having me. And I
hope I can. Because I'm the studying

379
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:30,840
the I get bendy wrong information.
Now I hope they can't get a correct

380
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:36,480
right I don't want to say I'm
correct, but the right information based on

381
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:42,000
the theory, based on the physics. I hope your audience will benefit front

382
00:41:42,039 --> 00:41:47,000
our interview, and I hope so
too. So a week and a half

383
00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:51,639
ago, it was my birthday,
and just after my birthday, Johanne and

384
00:41:51,639 --> 00:41:53,639
I were supposed to be away for
a couple of days up in the Sierras,

385
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,599
which was going to include a round
of golf and an interview with the

386
00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:02,199
director of instruction at why Hawk Ranch
and Gray Eagle Meadows golf clubs. Best

387
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:07,159
laid plans, right, That's because
I got one of the biggest surprises I've

388
00:42:07,199 --> 00:42:14,239
ever received my birthday when the day
after I tested positive for COVID nineteen and

389
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,880
as usual, Joanne was just one
day behind me and testing positive as well.

390
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,159
Amazingly, it was the first time
for both of us. Frankly,

391
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,960
based on the timing I'm pretty sure
I contracted it at the Giants game.

392
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,559
I went with my older son who
has had COVID twice, so thankfully he

393
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,880
escaped it this time. So after
five days of being on packs loovid,

394
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:42,119
I tested negative and have been working
patiently and diligently to get my full strength

395
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,159
and clear mind back. It was
a short bout, but it did kick

396
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:51,800
my butt. Two days after testing
negative, I did go out and play

397
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,039
eighteen and we'll be playing one of
my favorite courses, Harding Park in San

398
00:42:55,119 --> 00:43:01,079
Francisco tomorrow. Now there are three
elements of why I am so excited about

399
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:07,239
this week's golf Ambassador Anna Jimenez from
Madrid, Spain. I always love to

400
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,880
hear from women who are listening to
the podcast in Madrid, Spain. How

401
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,559
awesome is that? So I just
checked with my podcast distributor. In downloads

402
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:22,559
in the United States account for seventy
percent of my total audience, followed by

403
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:29,679
Australia, UK, Canada, Taiwan, Spain, Japan, Ireland, Sweden,

404
00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:34,559
and New Zealand rounds out the top
ten countries to have Golf Smarter listeners.

405
00:43:35,159 --> 00:43:37,719
And just to be fair, Germany
is a fraction behind New Zealand.

406
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:44,800
Now the third part is that Anna
recorded her episode into her phone and sent

407
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:50,199
me the file, so there are
options other than recording over the phone line.

408
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,960
So where in the world do you
live and listen to? Golf Smarter
