1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,639 Speaker 1: Hi. This is bj Barger from Alexandria, Virginia. In addition 2 00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:11,160 to joining Fred on an awesome Golf Smarter adventure to Prague, 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,000 I'm a member of Laurel Hill Golf Club and I 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,480 play lots of golf with LPGA, Imateurs and American Singles Golf. 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,600 This is Golf Smarter. 6 00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 2: Number four hundred eighty eight, published on May twelve, twenty fifteen. 7 00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:29,359 Speaker 3: Welcome to Golf Smarter Mulligans, your second chance to gain 8 00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:33,000 insight and advice from the best instructors featured on the 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Golf Smarter podcast. Great Golf Instruction Never gets old. Our 10 00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:43,920 interview library features hundreds of hours of game improvement conversations 11 00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:47,520 like this that are no longer available in any podcast app. 12 00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 4: First off, I never take a practice swing at the 13 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,479 golf ball. I would select a club. My practice wings 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,320 are behind the ball on the target line, and they 15 00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:57,759 may not be full. I may take a full casual 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,560 practice swing rip on a tea box just to make 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,840 sure that I'm loose. When I set up to hit 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,560 a shot, I'm gonna tee it up, make sure my 19 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,400 feet you got a comfortable place to stand. Then I'm 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,159 gonna stand behind the ball. And this all takes just 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,319 a moment, and I'm going to look in where I 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,159 want my golf ball to start? Where's my start line 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,120 from there? It's why do I want my ball to curve? 24 00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:16,760 If I'm gonna play a little fade or a draw, 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,920 I mean, I'm going to visualize that. So if I 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,840 wanted to start somewhere, that's one thing. I can aim 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,079 the face as best I can to start the ball there. 28 00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:25,079 If I need to curve it, I need a clubhead 29 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,239 path go in a slightly different place than more my 30 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,879 face starts it, because you need a differential between face 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,000 and path the curve the ball. And as a golfer, 32 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,760 to become a good golfer, you have to learn how 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,439 to take conscious thought through the right experience and repetitions, 34 00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:40,640 so it jumps the fence into subconscious. So that communication 35 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,120 isn't smoke signals, and it's not even old analog phone 36 00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:47,040 that it's high speed fiber optic. Because when the communication 37 00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,879 from brain to body become high speed fiber optic, now 38 00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:52,319 people can say they're really not thinking about something because 39 00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,200 their consciousness know they're thinking. It's so fast that they 40 00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:58,239 look and react. That's rubbish. You play that way because 41 00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:02,439 the consciousness one from slow calculated into some conscious look 42 00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:04,079 and react behavior that's trained in. 43 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: You can avoid golf lessons and save a lot of 44 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,599 money using the right training aids. 45 00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:19,759 Speaker 3: With Martin Chuck, this is Golf Smarter Premium. 46 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,319 Speaker 2: Here's your host, Fred Green.

But I have a couple 88 00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:16,199 of questions I need. 89 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 4: To ask too, firewaymen. 90 00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: Great, let's talk about your product line always. You're You're 91 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,040 beyond being an excellent golf instructor. You are a very 92 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,680 creative entrepreneur with non tech gadgets. But I mean it's 93 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,120 you know, like, there's so many things that need batteries 94 00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,519 right now that you don't have to do that. You're 95 00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:38,800 not creating, you know what. 96 00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,319 Speaker 4: I'm just not very smart, Fred, So there requires any 97 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,519 kind of electronics or something techie. It's not coming from me, 98 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,120 I'm afraid. 99 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:50,079 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about your last product, and I'm going 100 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,480 to embarrass you right here. You were supposed to send 101 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,959 me one of those inflatable balls. You did not, And 102 00:04:57,319 --> 00:05:01,040 just recently I started remembering about and thinking keep your 103 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,160 arms together, keep your arms together. Yeah, So tell me 104 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,600 about that product and what the purpose of it is 105 00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:09,439 and why it helps. 106 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,639 Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's called the smart ballont I called 107 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,360 it the smart ball because I couldn't come up with 108 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,399 a better name. But the basically it's an inflatable, tiny 109 00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:22,319 beach ball. It's on the exterior. It's got kind of 110 00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:24,399 a felt feel to it, so it kind of sticks 111 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:26,079 to your arms a little bit more effectively than just 112 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,439 a plastic beach ball. And then it's got a loop 113 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,680 for an attachment to an adjustable lanyard, and that of 114 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,600 course lander goes around your neck and then you can 115 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,519 buil the ball up. It's a six inch ball, and 116 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,279 that ball fits below your elbows, between your elbows and wrists, 117 00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,399 and when you can manage that triangle of your forearms 118 00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:44,959 while in your golf swing, a lot of good things happen. 119 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,519 So you know, there's been products out there in the past, 120 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,879 and you know, all I think I did was invents 121 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,399 a little bit better mouse trap, because there's been some 122 00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:54,399 good products in the past, but the problem was if 123 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:56,399 you weren't good at it, the ball dropped and you'd 124 00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:59,360 be chasing it around or you know. So I thought, well, 125 00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:01,160 I'm going to make something that somebody can stuff in 126 00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:03,920 their golf bag that's pretty durable, that they can blow 127 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,639 up when they want to use it, you know, deflate 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,279 when they don't put in their bag, and then it 129 00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:10,480 goes between your forms or also you can use it 130 00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:12,680 as a lot of people will use it under one 131 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,360 arm or the other, which is a you know, a 132 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,000 classic connection drill that coaches have been trying to get 133 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,639 people to do for years of their arms that don't 134 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,920 run off their bodies so much. So it's just a 135 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,839 simple thing, and you know, the poleasing thing about it 136 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:25,399 is it's been picked up by a lot of tour 137 00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:28,920 players and it's been fun. Like Darren Clark, you know, 138 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,600 Ryder Cup captain major winner, sent me a video of 139 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,560 him using it, you know, at royal Port Rush, his 140 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,480 club in Northern Ireland, and it's on vine, you know, 141 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,079 which is another apvocant keep track to all these apps. 142 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,079 Nowadays there's there's Darren Clark using it, and then a 143 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,000 lovely gallon the LPGA tour Beatrice Riccari uses it. She's 144 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,800 been a great proponent of it, and then Charles Howell 145 00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:54,040 uses it, and a bunch of tour players do it, 146 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,160 and honestly, I haven't reached out to get him away. 147 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,839 They've found it and they've ordered it and they they 148 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,480 use it. So you know, I'm monitored that they considered 149 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,279 a training aid worthy of use and I'm excited to 150 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,079 you know, help help out with that kind of level 151 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,240 of player. Want to get better. 152 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 2: That was very subtle, Martin. But I feel like a 153 00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:14,600 total scumbag right now saying why didn't I get my 154 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,680 smart ball on these people who are making millions on 155 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,680 the tour, you know, And I'm just I'm. 156 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,519 Speaker 4: Happy to send you one man in my oversight. Unfortunately, 157 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,439 you know how you get you get busy. Next thing, 158 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,680 you know, it's yeah, you're very busy. 159 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: So so explain how it works and what it's supposed 160 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,920 to do, because I know that there's multiple functions for it. 161 00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:38,199 Speaker 4: Well, you know, like I said, you know, you blow 162 00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:40,360 it up. You put the lanyard around your neck, so 163 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,199 you've got the suggestible thing, and you kind of get 164 00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:45,800 it fit for your personal body shape in height, and 165 00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,480 then you kind of hold u between your forums and 166 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,000 if you can go back and make a back swing, 167 00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:51,839 certainly in a pitching motion a three quarter shot, if 168 00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:53,319 you can manage your arms, you're going to become a 169 00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:56,800 pretty effective player in that aspect. If you're very flexible, 170 00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:59,800 like a lot of the younger people and professionals are, 171 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,279 you know, you can take this and pretty much hit 172 00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:06,680 full shots with it. So most players fred are stuck 173 00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:08,439 with a whole mentality you know, you've got to keep 174 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,000 your head down, stay down, stay down, stay down. So 175 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,720 they've got that that's almost that infliction to such a 176 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,000 degree that their arms and their body don't work together. 177 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,519 And when that happens, their elbows separate too much, and 178 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,040 then they don't have a decent radius of their golf swing. 179 00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:24,680 The combination of arms in club is a unit. Well, 180 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,959 the ball smart ball helps keep your forearms, sort it 181 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,240 together so that it's easier for you to maintain that 182 00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:33,159 swinging radius and you'll have a little bit more success 183 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:34,639 and reliability hitting a golf ball. 184 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: And when you don't inflate the ball. 185 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 4: Oh, when you don't inflate the ball, you'll use it 186 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,919 under your left arm, between your left arm and pack 187 00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,279 or right arm and pack. And when it's in there, 188 00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:47,399 you've got the ability, you know, to feel some arm connection. 189 00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:50,039 More so so it depends on what you you know, 190 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,559 what you need and what you want to work on. 191 00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:55,240 You know, there's the whole idea of connection in a 192 00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:58,039 golf swing made famous by Jimmy Ballard, you know, in 193 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,600 the late seventies and eighties. You know, it helps with 194 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,960 that feeling, the the awareness of forearms sting a in 195 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,559 a proximity to one another, made famous by Ben Hogan 196 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,600 in the fifties in his great book You know, So 197 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:12,080 it helps with elements that coaches have tried to get 198 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,799 people to understand for years, and it's it's just a 199 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,080 it's a simple product. I mean, it really is. It's 200 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,159 you know, like I said, I'm not very smart, and 201 00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:21,600 therefore it's a pretty simple product. But I'm glad it 202 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,159 helps people. 203 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,639 Speaker 2: You don't have to be smart to make a great product. 204 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,159 Speaker 4: You're right, I'm an example. 205 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,279 Speaker 2: Why is it important to you know, the idea of 206 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,240 keeping under your arm like that so that your arm 207 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:38,480 doesn't sweat, swing out on your on your back swing. 208 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, So why should improve a golf swing? Right? 209 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,840 Everybody falls in love with the target line, so they 210 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:45,519 always see the ball and they see the pin. They 211 00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:47,200 want the ball to go A to B and that 212 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,000 makes perfect sense. But what we get sucked into as 213 00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:52,360 golfers is we try to control the clubhead to make 214 00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:55,120 it go down that line, and that defies the geometry 215 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,279 of a circle. So when you have anything like when 216 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,600 you have connection awareness, you realize pretty quickly that the 217 00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:06,080 only thing successful can be a rotational motion that produces 218 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,639 a straight shot, you know, via good contact and trying 219 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,480 to guide something down the line actually destroys speed and 220 00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:17,120 destroys control. So getting those things under check with something 221 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,639 like a connection connection exercise, whether it be just a 222 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,080 towel across your chest and you're holding with both arms, 223 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,559 you know, that tends to be kind of cumbersome and awkward, 224 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,360 whereas the smart ball, when it's deflated, feels it's a 225 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,960 thin little bladder really, and it fits in your arm 226 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:34,519 quite comfortably, and it's just again, it's a simple way 227 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,159 for you to practice. And when you relax and your 228 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,559 arm comes away, it doesn't fall on the ground. You're 229 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,360 not picking it up. It just kind of hangs from 230 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:42,840 the lanyard that's around your neck, as it does when 231 00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:45,679 you're using it blown up between your forearms. 232 00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:54,039 Speaker 2: That is such a cool idea. It is so simple 233 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,519 and it works so well. 234 00:10:56,919 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 4: You wait for my next one coming soon. 235 00:10:59,039 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 2: Oh boy, can you talk about it? 236 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 4: Yes, I can. It's called the Sammy. You know, it's 237 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,240 called the Sammy. 238 00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:05,159 Speaker 2: Because that's my middle name. 239 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: There you go, but it's for my daughter Sammy. Samantha. 240 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,679 We Sammy, and it's an acronym for structural awareness motion instrument. 241 00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 2: I can't write that. I can't write that a structural 242 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,600 awareness awareness motion uh huh. 243 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,519 Speaker 4: Instrument aka Sammy. And the reason being is because she 244 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:27,519 goes to this clothing store and they have these chapsticks 245 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,120 on a badger real you know, the little zippy badgerils. 246 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,159 So the chapsticks she can put on her belt, she 247 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,399 can put on her chapsticks. She can let go of 248 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,519 it and zips back to her belt. And it made 249 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,919 me think of a George Newtson application for connection between 250 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,279 the butt of the club and the left hip bone. 251 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,639 Well for the right end of golfer. See, he didn't 252 00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:49,039 and this is another thing, kind of going back to geometry. 253 00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,440 He didn't want the hands chasing the target line. He 254 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,919 wanted the hands working on a concentric hand path. So 255 00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:56,840 back up and in down to a low line, back 256 00:11:56,919 --> 00:11:59,639 up and in. Well, well, my daughter said to me, 257 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,440 she said, hey, Daddy, you can do something with this 258 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:04,120 in golf. And it was a fleeting comment and a 259 00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:06,120 fleeting thought, and then she ran off to go chase 260 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,320 the dog or something. I mean, it was literally that fast. 261 00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:10,519 So I thought of myself, you know what I could, 262 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,559 So I grabbed her little Chino because she once she 263 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,799 gets onto something new, it's like, hey, what happened to that? 264 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,639 She didn't even think about it. So I kind of 265 00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,279 took her little chapstick badge reel and modified it a bit, 266 00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:23,759 and then I sent it off to my designer friends 267 00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:27,159 and we made it into a multifunctional badge reel that 268 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,879 can connect to your thumb, to your belt, to your 269 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:33,039 to your to your placard on your shirt. Basically, if 270 00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:36,240 you want to monitor your right elbow extension, your bending, 271 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,879 left arm, your how your hand path is, how the 272 00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:44,240 the flippiness of the shaft relative to your hands. I mean, 273 00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:47,879 we can connect this thing anywhere. So as an awareness device, 274 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,519 I've been testing it in my golf school for you know, 275 00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:53,440 a couple of months now, and people love the thing because, 276 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,000 you know, for example, if you're a if you if 277 00:12:57,039 --> 00:12:58,879 you flip it a little bit, Let's say you chip 278 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,519 and you know, you hit pitch shots and you're trying 279 00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:04,360 to educate your hands, and you know you're trying to 280 00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:08,240 have just really simple, solid, you know, impact hands that 281 00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:11,919 are transported by pivot. Well, if you if you attach 282 00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:15,600 the sammy to midway down the shaft and then attach 283 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,080 it via its little kind of gator clip to your 284 00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:21,759 left shirt sleeve. Now you have this string running down 285 00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:24,720 and it's pretty easy to see if that's strings, you know, 286 00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:27,799 waving around inappropriately compared to what a good player is 287 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,639 going to do. So it's just a feedback device. If 288 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,759 you want to. You can use it on your left arm, 289 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:35,200 you can use it on your right arm, bisk, you 290 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,559 can attach it anywhere. The hardest thing for me to 291 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,879 do now with this product that's going to be coming 292 00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:44,360 out about ninety days is to make the video short 293 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,840 enough because there's so many applications to use the thing. 294 00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:49,399 So I'm excited about I think I've got one tour 295 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,559 player that uses it all the time, Buddy, I coach, 296 00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:55,519 and you know it helps him with his backswing with 297 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,960 you know.

You know that some of the 323 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,360 attorney leise and this and that is just being organized 324 00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:16,919 and the web pages are being built and you know 325 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,440 again they're they're pos in place, good old China, and 326 00:15:21,679 --> 00:15:25,080 the product will be available, you know, sooner, hopefully sooner 327 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,960 than later, but those things it takes a while for 328 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,159 customs and shipping and so forth. 329 00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:31,799 Speaker 2: For those of us who are lucky enough right now 330 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:35,120 to be watching on periscope where I'm looking at you 331 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:42,120 via Skype, can you give me a visual right now 332 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,639 and explain what you're doing of what tourist trike a 333 00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:46,080 power sleeve actually does? 334 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,799 Speaker 4: Can you? You know, so you get a golfer who 335 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,919 you know, they may not know me back up a bit. 336 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,720 They may not know whether they get a lot of 337 00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:57,039 left double bend, you know. But more the most important 338 00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:59,759 thing with the power sleeve is that when somebody tries 339 00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:02,840 to keep their head down too long, typically you get 340 00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:06,159 some kind of a chicken wing condition when your left 341 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,120 arm can't bend. Like I'm not saying that this isn't 342 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,879 a device that is on you to lock your left 343 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,080 arm straight. That's not the point of it. The point 344 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,080 is for you to feel the awareness of when you 345 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,960 bend it. A good swing, a left arm will eventually bend, 346 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,679 there's no question. But I want somebody to be able 347 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,279 to move their arms relative to their body and have 348 00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:29,120 the awareness of where these issues happen. So if they 349 00:16:29,159 --> 00:16:32,919 have that awareness, it's amazing. As we get older, you know, 350 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,879 I'll come back to the whole head down thing, because 351 00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:38,159 that's to me, the biggest poison in golf is that 352 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,519 as we age. You know, I'm forty six. You know, 353 00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:42,759 we don't have the same mobility we once had when 354 00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:46,000 we were seven. So if I talked some keen seven 355 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,879 year old and I was a coach, and I said, okay, 356 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,919 young Martin, you keep your head down, son, and you 357 00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:53,320 just keep your head down. That seven year old's got 358 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,519 the mobility to go and hit a golf ball, and 359 00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:57,720 he's like a rubber band and he's gumby, and he 360 00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:00,200 can have he can move the structure of his farms 361 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,440 and arms and body long enough to hit really good shots. Well, 362 00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:06,720 use you age that mobility unless you work on it 363 00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:09,279 every single day, Like say a tour player who hits 364 00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:11,599 three hundred balls a day or two hundred balls a 365 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,640 day or five hundred balls a day and practices you 366 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,319 know seven, you know they're going to play five six 367 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,160 rounds a week depending on the week. They're going to 368 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:21,880 keep building in this mobility because they do it all 369 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,920 the time. Well, if you take a golf of twenty 370 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,480 five or thirty or forty or fifty. Good luck with 371 00:17:26,519 --> 00:17:31,519 that mobility. Okay, So a better person to mimic to 372 00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,839 play good golf is more like Anika Sorenstam, my personal 373 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,559 favorite golfer, because you know, she's basically not even looking 374 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:40,359 at a golf ball when she hits it. Now, I'm 375 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,319 not here to say don't look at a golf ball 376 00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:44,559 when you hit it. I'm here to say, have the 377 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,960 awareness of a motion that can pass through a golf 378 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,599 ball and then not act like calipers on a break 379 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,480 disc and slow things down to where arms and club 380 00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:57,240 and everything kind of lose the swinging rhythm. Well with 381 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,400 the power sleep you kind of it's a it's an 382 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,400 instant wareness. You know right away, you know where I 383 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,240 wear it all the time. I love it. You know 384 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,680 right away where the issue happens. And therefore you know 385 00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:14,440 you can you can target the relaxation needed the you 386 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,759 can target when you need to kind of release your 387 00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,839 eyes from the ground, which is basically follow the golf ball. 388 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,000 But once you have it on, it's easy for people 389 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,359 to go, oh boy, I feel a sudden tug here. Okay, 390 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,079 well I'm going to find that tug. I'm going to 391 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:33,039 ease up on that little hitchy part that clearly can't 392 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:36,880 be helping me. So once again, all my stuff is 393 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,160 there to provide a feedback for the person to learn 394 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:47,119 a little faster, all. 395 00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: Right, So let's see if we can work on this idea. 396 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:56,119 I have recently discovered for myself that if I slow 397 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,920 my swing down consciously, and whether it's slowing it down 398 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,000 or just making a smoother, you know, stroke through the ball, 399 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,039 like especially with my driver, I'm going, okay, I only 400 00:19:09,079 --> 00:19:11,200 want to hit the ball one hundred and fifty yards 401 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:14,359 right when I go on the driving range, and I 402 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,839 can hit the ball regularly to twenty five two thirty, 403 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,880 And that's based on statistics I pull off of game golf, 404 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,799 not what's in my head, because of course I think 405 00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:23,880 I hit it two seventy five. 406 00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 4: Of course you're right. 407 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,319 Speaker 2: But when I'm looking at the stats, like, okay, so 408 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,880 you hit it about two twenty five to two thirty, 409 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,240 that's fine. But when I'm on the driving range and 410 00:19:31,279 --> 00:19:33,319 I'm like, okay, I want to hit the ball just 411 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,680 one hundred and fifty yards. I don't want to swing hard. 412 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:39,799 I'm also now, you know, picking a flag at one 413 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,000 fifty on the range and I'm a hit in the flag, right. 414 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,039 I mean, I'm hitting my targets. I'm getting a lot 415 00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:50,079 more fairways. And to me, what I find happening is 416 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,839 the more fairways I hit, the more pars I'm getting 417 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:55,319 because I'm getting greens in regulation because I don't have 418 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,680 to be you know, try to be creative, right, how 419 00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:05,839 can and I take that rhythm and slower rhythm with 420 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,599 all my clubs, and you know, because I can now 421 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,880 I'm getting a point like whoa. I really tried to 422 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,200 swing hard on that and the ball did not cooperate 423 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,640 at all. I'm finding just better ball flight. I'm finding 424 00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:21,720 straighter shots. I'm hitting my targets better. 425 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 4: Yep, you know, I tell you why. That's a great question. 426 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,359 I think one mentor I like to quote Ben Doyle, 427 00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:30,400 and I'm not sure if he was the originator of 428 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,960 this comment. And he passed away this year, So a 429 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,119 lot of teaching pros out there are a great depth 430 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,400 of gratitude to Ben Doyle. He was the original golfing 431 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,839 machine instructor, as trained by Homer Kelly, and he used 432 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,160 to say, always eyes on the ball, mind in the hands. Well, 433 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,960 eyes in the ball, mind in the hands to me. 434 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,480 You know, to me, the ball's not going to go anywhere, 435 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,240 you know, just sitting there. And frankly, I don't really 436 00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:54,599 stare at it. It's more like just a casual observation 437 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,000 from my eyes. But my inside feelings are really in 438 00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:02,640 my hands that see. I don't ever ground the golf club. 439 00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:07,119 Fred and my mentor George Newton taught us from the 440 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,319 kids and the influences when we were in a little 441 00:21:09,319 --> 00:21:12,799 grippy junior golfers, to never ever rest the club in 442 00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:15,759 the ground because he wanted us to establish a peaceful 443 00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:18,400 grip pressure with the club in our hands, not a 444 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,440 grip pressure with the club on the ground. Because he 445 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,160 always said, both the clubs on the ground, at some 446 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,079 point you're going to snatch away, to grab that golf 447 00:21:24,079 --> 00:21:26,559 club to take it back. So he always wanted us 448 00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:29,440 mobile from the wrists with a club off the ground. 449 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,119 You know. Jack Nicholas is a good example, and Tiger Woods, 450 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,880 you know, the club doesn't really rest in the ground. 451 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,839 It's always a part of his body. And then from 452 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,880 there you have an awareness of mobility and the wrists. Well, 453 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,960 if you're always sensing grip pressure and risk awareness, it's 454 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,799 pretty tough to get really wonky as far as rhythm goes. 455 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,400 So the people that I come see me every week 456 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,200 at the golf school, a lot of them put it 457 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,200 on the ground. Put the club on the ground behind 458 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,599 the ball, aim to face for them, want the ball 459 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,039 to go, that's great. And then their first move is 460 00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:01,599 like they're playing flue. Their hands kind of open to 461 00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:03,359 a degree, they close to a degree in a way 462 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,759 they go. And so I call this the grip and go. 463 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,759 And the grip and go is troublesome because you can't 464 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:11,119 always grip and go. You don't always have a lie 465 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,720 that dictates that you can do that. The ball may 466 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,599 be sitting down in the rough, Well, you're not going 467 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,519 to stick the club down in the grass. You have 468 00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:19,799 to hover it at some point. So to me, it's 469 00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:22,079 best to hover it always. When I say hover it, 470 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:25,400 I'm not talking about a foot. I'm talking about you know, 471 00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:28,599 three sixteenths of an inch, some negligible amount off the 472 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,200 ground to where your hands have a peaceful hold on 473 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,519 the grip. Yet you have mobility awareness in your wrists. 474 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,960 And that to me is how people can have a 475 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,160 rhythm awareness all the time because of their hand strength 476 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,000 and intension doesn't change much. Pretty tough not to have rhythm. 477 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 2: You don't look at the ball. 478 00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:52,799 Speaker 4: I look at it, but it doesn't matter to me, honestly. 479 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,759 I mean, I'm casually aware of it. Like I look. 480 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,759 People saying me, hey, Martin, where do you look? I 481 00:22:56,799 --> 00:22:59,119 go down. And it's kind of a play on words 482 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,400 because the ball really means very little to me. When 483 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,519 I'm playing golf. I look at it, and you know, 484 00:23:05,559 --> 00:23:07,200 there it is, and I set myself, I set the 485 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,039 face up where I want the ball to go. But 486 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,799 once I kind of look at it, and you know, 487 00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:12,839 I look back at the ball, my brain isn't worried 488 00:23:12,839 --> 00:23:15,559 about the ball at all. My brain's more worried about 489 00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:19,079 how my personal body feels at the moment, what I 490 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,039 need in that swing, as far as what certain feels, 491 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:26,319 as far as trajectory, club path, my expectations of where 492 00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:28,720 the ball's going to go. The visual of my of 493 00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:31,880 the target is burned into my head, and that's what 494 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,480 I'm really That's where my brain's at the golf ball. 495 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,319 Nobody's going to come move it, so I don't have 496 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,640 to give it a great deal of attention. 497 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: I sense a contradiction here. You sound like there's a 498 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,880 whole lot of stuff going on in your head before 499 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,640 you hit your ball. 500 00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 4: Well, let me walk you through what it would look 501 00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:49,720 like if I was hitting a shot, if you were 502 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,880 in my brain. Okay, first off, I never take a 503 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,440 practice swing at the golf ball. You know, I would 504 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,480 select a club. My practice swings are behind the ball 505 00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:02,039 on the target line, and they may not be full. 506 00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:05,519 I may take a full, casual practice swing rip on 507 00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:09,079 a tea box just to make sure that I'm loose. Now, 508 00:24:09,559 --> 00:24:11,200 when I set up to hit a shot, I'm gonna 509 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,039 tee it up, you know, make sure my feet or 510 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,640 have a good place to stand or you know, in 511 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,480 the fairway. You don't have that luxury, but on a 512 00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:19,000 tea box from tea to make sure I've got a 513 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,559 comfortable place to stand. Then I'm gonna stand behind the ball, 514 00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:24,279 and this all takes just a moment, and I'm gonna look. 515 00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:26,279 I'm going to see where my I want my golf 516 00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:29,200 ball to start. What is where's my start line? And 517 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,279 then from there it's where's my how do I want 518 00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:33,400 my ball to curve? Now, if I'm gonna play little 519 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,319 fade or a draw, I mean I'm going to visualize 520 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,240 that there's where my ball is starting. There is how 521 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:40,000 it's curving. So if I want it to start somewhere, 522 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,839 that's one thing. I can aim the face as best 523 00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:43,920 I can to start the ball there. If I need 524 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,960 to curve it, I need a clubhead path go in 525 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,279 a slightly different place than more my face starts it 526 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:50,960 because you need a differential between face and path the 527 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,319 curve the ball. So you go, how technical is this? Well, 528 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,119 I mean, this is all blink stuff. It's like if 529 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,160 I typed you a note. You know, I don't even 530 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,359 know what I'm typing because in there it is there's 531 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,000 the note high Fred blah blah blah, Thanks, look forward 532 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,440 to seeing you again, Martin. While in there's a bunch 533 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,400 of subconscious stuff. It's only subconscious because I've trained it 534 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,799 in and as a golfer, to become a good golfer, 535 00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:13,759 you have to learn how to take conscious thought through 536 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,279 the right experience and repetitions. So it jumps the fence 537 00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:22,119 into subconscious. So that communication isn't like smoke signals okay, 538 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,920 and it's not Morse code, and it's not even old 539 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,240 analog phone that it's you know, high speed fiber optic, 540 00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:31,559 because when the communication from brain to body become high 541 00:25:31,559 --> 00:25:34,279 speed fiber optic, now people can say they're really not 542 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,319 thinking about something because their conscious doesn't know they're thinking. 543 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:40,359 It's so fast that they look they react, and then 544 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,519 they say, oh, it's just I just play golf because 545 00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:45,240 I look and react. That's rubbish. You play that way 546 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,319 because you've trained that your speed of the conscious is 547 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,240 one from slow calculated into subconscious look and react behavior 548 00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:57,279 that's trained in like learning how to type, So anyway 549 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,559 not to jump back to that. You know, set in, 550 00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:02,160 I am the face where I want the ball to go, 551 00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:04,759 and then from that moment the ball kind of goes 552 00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:07,359 away because now I'm kind of in myself what do 553 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,240 I want to feel? Where's my balance going to go? 554 00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:10,920 Now you can think, well, those are a lot of 555 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,240 swing thoughts, but not really. They're kind of gross motor 556 00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:16,200 skill thoughts, and you know, I'm just trying to kind 557 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,880 of make this overall motion in some kind of balance 558 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,240 in a you know, the masses previous feelings of success, 559 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,039 and hopefully it's a good shot, and if it's not, 560 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,680 I go find it. I hit it again. 561 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 2: And again and again. Well, at least I do. It 562 00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:43,440 reminds me of when I was young and driving a 563 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,079 stick shift, and there are many times where I'm like, 564 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:47,440 how'd I get in third gear? 565 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,599 Speaker 4: Yeah? There you go? How'd you get from you know, 566 00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:53,480 your driveway to the story? You even remember how you 567 00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:53,839 got there? 568 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 5: Right? 569 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: Like what I mean? Oh yeah, I reached down. It's 570 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,960 like it's in third already? 571 00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 4: How did that happen? 572 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,839 Speaker 2: Even? Think about it? 573 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 4: Right? 574 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: Another thing that you said that that jumps out at me. 575 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,160 It's like, because I should be paying attention to this 576 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,640 because I learned from you so much. You don't rest 577 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:17,599 the club on the ground, Okay, I do, but I 578 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,559 can see you know, I'm really starting to focus on 579 00:27:20,759 --> 00:27:25,480 finding the bottom of my swing arc lately, and so 580 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,279 I'm really kind of focused. And I hate using that 581 00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:31,480 word because I'm focused on a target, but I really, 582 00:27:31,759 --> 00:27:35,079 uh you know, look, send my eyes about an inch 583 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,680 in front of the ball, okay, so that I can, 584 00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:41,960 you know, avoid hitting from hitting behind the ball. And 585 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,359 that's helped me a little bit, keeping my eyes you know, 586 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,960 off the ball, just in front of it. What about 587 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,440 your putter? 588 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 4: You know, I try not to ground my putter either. 589 00:27:50,759 --> 00:27:51,079 Speaker 2: Wow. 590 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,079 Speaker 4: And now when I say because think about it. I 591 00:27:54,079 --> 00:27:56,920 think the yips actually come from the people that have 592 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,200 a hard time putting. I really believe the yips come 593 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,039 from some sort of collision between conscious and subconscious, right. 594 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,279 I mean, you don't trust something, You don't trust your pace, 595 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,599 you don't trust your aim, and you know in that 596 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,720 in that lack of trust becomes you know, comes a flinch. Now, 597 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,960 if you are listening to this out there and you 598 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,119 do have a hard time putting and you don't trust 599 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,240 your stroke, I want you to tee up some golf 600 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,160 balls on the putting green. I know that sounds crazy, 601 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,039 but tee them up half an inch and then just 602 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,559 stroke them off of a high tee and hover the 603 00:28:31,559 --> 00:28:35,000 putter there naturally, Because I think the ground plays a 604 00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:38,160 role in this. I mean people that quote stub their putt, 605 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,920 you know that actually can hit the ground when they 606 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,759 pot accidentally they quote stub it. Well, you know there's 607 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,440 there's a there's a subconscious fear that let's take that 608 00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:50,400 fear away. Now. I'm not saying that you hover the 609 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,000 putter or an inch off the ground and you pot. 610 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,160 That's not it. But we use the expression lady bug 611 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,359 at the golf school, meaning that in all shots. We 612 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,359 want to we want you to gently set the club 613 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,799 on the back of a ladybug that don't kill her, 614 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,000 just set it down there. So there's a dimension between 615 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,839 the bottom of the club and the grass, and it's 616 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,039 a little dimension, and you can tap her and you 617 00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:12,119 can wake her up, but don't squish her. And then 618 00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:14,759 from that radius, from that dimension you've established, go ahead 619 00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:16,519 and putt, and go ahead and chip, and go ahead 620 00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:19,680 and hit your shots. Now, if you watch me hit balls, read, 621 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,759 you wouldn't go well, Martin's covering the club because it's 622 00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:25,599 a tiny dimension now if you looked really closely. And besides, 623 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,079 I'm not static either. I mean I'm not just standing there. 624 00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:30,359 I'm always kind of moving around and moving my feet 625 00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:33,079 and waggling and feeling rhythm before I initiate my swing 626 00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:35,559 with rhythm, you know, And even in putting them ever 627 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,920 standing there statically, there's always a rhythm to it. I 628 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,279 look at react, I go with that look and react 629 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,319 is very specific. It's trained in. It's a it's something 630 00:29:43,359 --> 00:29:45,839 I practice when I when I when I do practice now, 631 00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:48,920 which isn't often, but it's I believe that the routine 632 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,279 and rhythm of the routine is a critical thing that 633 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,960 people really have to be aware of. 634 00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 2: Would a teacher look at you and say, you need 635 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,119 to quiet yourself down, you've got your moving too much, 636 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,319 or there's so much going on before you hit the ball. 637 00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 4: Maybe, but everybody's walking to their opinion. But I think 638 00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:08,079 if the teacher watched me hit a ball, they'd probably say, hey, Martin, 639 00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:10,319 you got a really good golf swing. You know. So, 640 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,880 I mean I'd say I'd say to the teacher, hey, 641 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,559 let's let's go play for five dollars. 642 00:30:16,359 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 2: You know, and you're and you're fired, what do you do. 643 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,319 Speaker 4: For I think you know, I may be in this 644 00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:29,920 in this interview. I'm not sure how that how it 645 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,599 comes across, right, But there you have to recognize, you 646 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,839 know where your brain's going. There's there's nothing really simple 647 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,240 about it until until your your brain body make it simple. 648 00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:44,039 Like typing. I mean, I'd come back to that, or 649 00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:46,559 playing a musical instrument. Some people make it look like 650 00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:48,880 they're born with a trumpet in their hands. Well they 651 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,559 weren't good thing. I'd be painful for their mother. But 652 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,599 the point is, through tremendous practice, right, you become one 653 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,640 with something and not tremendous and it's the right kind 654 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,480 of practice. So off, it's the same way you become 655 00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:04,400 one after, you know, with certain behaviors, whether they're good 656 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,599 or bad. And I see people that come to the golfschool, 657 00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:12,039 they stand there rigidly over a golf ball. We teach 658 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,519 kind of a kind of a walk in pattern that's 659 00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:17,440 rhythmical that I think the golf swing starts, you know, 660 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,000 way before you take it back. It starts me. You know. 661 00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:24,519 I use this expression read, plan, do and review. So 662 00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:26,599 there reading the plan part. You know, we walk up 663 00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:28,440 to a shot, Well what do we have? You figure 664 00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:31,640 your art as you're reading. Okay, you're looking at the 665 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,119 lie and then you're planning your strategy. Right you walk in. 666 00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:38,160 There's the dow component. There's a swing part of it, right, 667 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,160 and the review component, which is a big part of 668 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,680 what George Newson taught us kids was you know, he 669 00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:45,759 always called it the three second rule, meaning that we 670 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:48,160 couldn't get mad at herself for three seconds. We had 671 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,200 to kind of stand there for a moment trying to 672 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,079 have some feedback for what we just did, whether it 673 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,400 was good, bad, or indifferent, and then then possibly learn 674 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,599 from that swing rather than hitting you know, slumper shoulders 675 00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:02,160 and throw club or whatever. Then he'd be upset with us. 676 00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:05,440 So there's always a read plan doing a review at 677 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,480 any golf shot for a person that wants to play 678 00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:09,599 high level golf or any kind of decent golf. 679 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 2: It may not have been born with a golf club 680 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,599 in your hands, but right now it sure looks like 681 00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:15,920 Steph Curry was born with a basketball in his hands. 682 00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:21,240 There you go, boy, about as natural as it gets. 683 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,319 All Right, off of basketball for a second. I want 684 00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:28,400 to promote, if I may, another one of your products, 685 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,400 because this is what puts you on the map, right 686 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,559 touris striker. Let's you know, I think that it's something 687 00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:36,359 that you know, you may be tired of talking about it. 688 00:32:36,359 --> 00:32:37,839 It's like, yeah, it's been around for a while, but 689 00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:41,279 there's a lot of people who are still especially when 690 00:32:41,319 --> 00:32:43,079 I have it out of the driving range with me, 691 00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:45,240 that it's like, you know, you might want to look, 692 00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:48,000 you want to try this thing. Tell us a little 693 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,279 bit about the history, tell us what the value of 694 00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:51,559 a tourist striker. 695 00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 4: Yea, and the variation. I'm a big believer in intent. 696 00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:57,519 If you have the right intent to do something and 697 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,200 you know there'll be more more success. So being a 698 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,799 teacher for many years, I've been teaching now for thirty years, 699 00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:07,200 which is crazy, started when I was sixteen. And you know, 700 00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:09,240 for a lot of teaching, a lot of teachers are 701 00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:12,240 frustrated as our students because we try to convey a 702 00:33:12,279 --> 00:33:15,400 message and sometimes that message is lost in the translation. 703 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,279 And what I found was that, you know, I find 704 00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:21,559 a good player hits a shot and it's like wow, okay, 705 00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:24,440 that sounds different. That produces a divot, you know, small 706 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,720 divt after impact and the ball kind of goes far 707 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,119 and they don't look like they're swinging that hard. And 708 00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:33,240 you know what's the secret sauce there, Well, they they 709 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,519 move the golf club differently than the person who's having 710 00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:40,720 you know, the hard time. Well, through teaching, I realized 711 00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:42,720 that if I really well, I really don't need the 712 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,839 bottom couple of grooves on a golf club. And I'm 713 00:33:44,839 --> 00:33:47,920 talking about the off a card path even And in fact, 714 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,599 if you're bored out of your mind, go to my 715 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,920 YouTube channel and posted a video I'm hitting a tour 716 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,440 striker off a card path and the ball's going airborne. Fine, 717 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,880 And because it's not about hitting down so much when golf, 718 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,400 everybody's down. When you swing at a golf ball, there's 719 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,680 going to be a down. You don't swing up at 720 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,920 a golf ball. I shouldn't say that. Some people do. 721 00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:10,559 But every circle's got an element of down, every circle's 722 00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:13,440 got an element of up. Well, in golf, since it's 723 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,599 an incline circular game, it's got it down and out, 724 00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:18,599 and it's got it up and in. Well, if we 725 00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:20,639 can get your down and out in the right place, 726 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,519 then you're going to play some pretty good golf. And 727 00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:24,960 if we can get your down and out in the 728 00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:27,519 right place, you know there's gonna be some element of 729 00:34:27,519 --> 00:34:30,559 a clubhead trailing behind a handle a little bit. And 730 00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:33,840 that is what's called for chafflin. So you know when 731 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,800 people are standing there trying to hoist the ball off 732 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,639 the ground because they think that they have to. It's 733 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,599 their job to get it up, and a normal golf 734 00:34:40,599 --> 00:34:43,840 club can let them have some limited success doing that. 735 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,880 I decided to be mean and take away that limited 736 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,639 success because if somebody wants to hang back and hoist 737 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:51,800 a golf ball off the ground, they're never going to 738 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,320 get that amazing compressed feeling that good players get all 739 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,320 the time, and they're never going to get the distance 740 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,480 that they deserve for their you know, physical talents. So 741 00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:04,880 by taking away the bottom grooves basically really right raising 742 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,159 the leading edge basically you know, more than almost an 743 00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:10,840 inch off the ground, the players forced to learn how 744 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,519 to use the tool differently, and then forcing them to 745 00:35:13,559 --> 00:35:16,840 do that it might inspire something, you know, for them 746 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,639 to think about how they move the club differently. And 747 00:35:18,639 --> 00:35:20,519 that's the whole purpose of it, so that they have 748 00:35:20,639 --> 00:35:23,760 for chaplain, so they can have you know, somewhat a 749 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,239 shallow downwards strike and they can strengthen the loft on 750 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,719 the face rather than weaken the strike loft. So I mean, 751 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,360 that's the whole genesis behind the Tour Striker. And it's 752 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,159 been a great it's been a great ride. I mean, 753 00:35:35,199 --> 00:35:38,840 it's been hard to believe now. It's uh, you know, 754 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000 it's been seven years since since that's been out, and 755 00:35:42,039 --> 00:35:44,599 that's crazy. We've sold a lot of them all over 756 00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:47,719 the world, and you know, and it's put me on 757 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,440 the map as a coach. Was just cool and it's fun. 758 00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 2: So you know, lucky, Yeah, well I understand the luck part, 759 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,880 but there's nobody more deserving I'm so happy for you 760 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,360 that it's such a success and it opens the doors 761 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,320 to allow you to introduce new products like Sammy and 762 00:36:04,599 --> 00:36:07,559 with the bank swing. No the wait, wait, I got 763 00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:11,480 a Tour Striker power sleeve. That's right, right, I wrote 764 00:36:11,519 --> 00:36:13,280 something that I was going to ask about never got to. 765 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,320 Can you give us a quick tip on why we 766 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,039 slice the ball and how to fix it? And I 767 00:36:19,079 --> 00:36:22,320 can see now that you're wearing my smartphone. 768 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,519 Speaker 4: Pall, Yeah, I didn't ship it. 769 00:36:24,679 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, that's that's why I didn't get mine. That's okay. 770 00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:31,719 Sure is a quick tour striker, mister tours striker tip 771 00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:33,199 to striker. 772 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,159 Speaker 4: Sure, so you know, you know I've got my tour striker. 773 00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:37,239 Of course they've got a practice with my tour striker 774 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,559 in my golf room here. But I'm wearing the smart ball. 775 00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:43,280 And once again, you know, early for those viewers that 776 00:36:44,519 --> 00:36:45,760 want our listeners. 777 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,559 Speaker 5: Too, earlier we talked about if you can manage your arms, 778 00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:50,880 frad you can hit a lot of really good shots, because. 779 00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 4: What happens is a lot of people, you know, in 780 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:53,480 their back. 781 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 5: Swing there, they'll get a lot of elbow separation. And 782 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,119 I'm not going to say you can't play a very 783 00:36:57,119 --> 00:36:57,840 good golf from there. 784 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 4: You can, but you better get in a lot of 785 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,760 reps to build and the familiarity from taking your radius 786 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,800 from address, getting your elbows separated, and then getting to 787 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,480 impact on a good place. So if you have something 788 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,400 like a smartble, it really really helps. Now, the tip 789 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,920 I want to share with you guys today is mostly 790 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:17,039 you suffering out there. Suffer you know, slice the golf ball. 791 00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:21,119 So a slice a shot that is something that goes 792 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,920 a path that gets over the top and wipes across 793 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,760 the tiret line is usually going to spin the ball 794 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,039 and create a slice. We all know that over the 795 00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:30,360 top swing. That's nothing new. So how are we going 796 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,599 to fix that? Well, I want you to consider this. 797 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,599 When we stand erect and we bend over, we've got 798 00:37:36,159 --> 00:37:39,280 a dress angle, a dressed body postured. I want you 799 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,159 out there to learn. 800 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 5: How to turn your shoulders a little bit steeper, because 801 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,119 if you can get your lead shoulder down okay, and 802 00:37:46,159 --> 00:37:49,559 not necessarily under your chin, because Rory McRoy swings his shoulder, 803 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,800 you know, and you have had lipstick on and get 804 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,760 his shoulder really really colored and lipstick. But the point 805 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,719 is most people take their back swing threat and they 806 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:58,880 turn their shoulders too. 807 00:37:58,679 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 6: Flat, and then as soon as initiate some energy from 808 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,880 their body, their arms go out too much, and then 809 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,760 they react by swinging down too much, and that's how 810 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,800 they spin the ball in big slices over a lot 811 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:09,320 of holes. 812 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,119 Speaker 5: So if we learn how to get tipped over the 813 00:38:12,119 --> 00:38:14,480 golf a little bit better and let our lead shoulder 814 00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:15,719 work a little bit down. 815 00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 4: Which is not that easy if you're not used to 816 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,039 using your abs this way. From here, it's not even 817 00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:21,880 gonna make sense to try to go over the top. 818 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 5: You want to reroute those arms nicely to the golf ball, 819 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,880 and guess what, you won't slice it anymore.
