1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,920
If you are struggling to take 
your range swing to the golf 

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,960
course, this episode is for you.
I was falling into that camp 

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,840
lately because I've been working
really hard on my swing. 

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,920
I'm happy about what I'm seeing 
on the golf course and in my my 

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,200
simulator at home, but when I go
play, it's just been rough. 

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,960
So I wanted to have a chat about
this with Doctor Luke Benoit and

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,360
I was up at his place. 
We were filming some content for

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,120
his RIP Ignite program, which is
is a really cool month long 

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,240
intensive where folks work on 
their swings. 

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,920
You should check check it out 
for sure. 

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,480
And we're filming this for that 
group. 

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,200
And I was asking questions about
what he calls the lab. 

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,440
It's that transition from when 
we have got really a lot of 

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,400
progress on our swing, but it's 
not going to the golf course. 

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,120
And he has some of the box 
ideas, which we talked about 

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,320
today. 
So make sure to go check out RIP

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,520
Ignite, check out Doctor Luke 
Benoit on Instagram. 

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,880
And yeah, thanks for. 
Let me share. 

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,080
This Luke really appreciate. 
It this is inside his program 

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,600
normally, so it's. 
Cool that we get to share it 

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,080
here on the podcast. 
And this is a video episode. 

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,080
If you just listen to the audio,
you're gonna wanna go video on 

23
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,960
this one. 
All right, Luke, I'm excited for

24
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,360
this video because it's all 
about transfer, right? 

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,160
It's about this idea of we have 
a great looking swing. 

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,760
It works really well out here. 
Maybe it works well in our house

27
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,240
and then we get into a practice 
round. 

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,440
Maybe it works there. 
We get into a tournament, it's 

29
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,200
working, it's shaky, and then we
fall off. 

30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
This isn't from, you know, 
personal experience or anything 

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,160
that I'm referencing coming off 
some bad tournaments. 

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,280
No, it is. 
I am right now in a place where 

33
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,320
I've had some rough tournament 
scores even though I feel really

34
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:36,640
good about my practice and 
training. 

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,760
So I need some help with 
transfer. 

36
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,000
So first question is, if you're 
like hitting in your simulator 

37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,200
at home, are you hitting the 
ball pretty darn solid? 

38
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,960
Yes. 
OK, yes, on the range, are you 

39
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:48,640
hitting a pretty darn solid? 
OK. 

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,680
And then when you go play a 
tournament, there's a huge gap 

41
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,840
that's basically. 
It yes, and even like practice 

42
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,560
rounds are some sometimes pretty
good. 

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,720
In the in the, the actual 
because you kind of know you're 

44
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,240
elsewhere. 
Does the path and phase change? 

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Like are there big differences? 
I think if for me personally, 

46
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,479
I'm like I'm getting stuck, 
yeah, I'm almost early extending

47
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,000
more than I ever do and things 
are real shot like there's not 

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,840
much loading happening. 
Things get shallow and. 

49
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:19,000
All the bio mechanics you've 
been trying to change are not 

50
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,120
working under. 
It seems like I I revert is 

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,360
reverting the right? 
Word like, yeah, yeah. 

52
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,440
And so my personal story is, you
know, I hit hooks as a kid. 

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,040
I hit fades on the range, I go 
play in a tournament, I hit baby

54
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,680
draws. 
So we're going to regress to 

55
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,920
kind of our old pattern. 
And so now we talk about going 

56
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,040
from the workshop to the lap. 
That's exactly where we're at. 

57
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,560
So I got to get into the charts.
OK. 

58
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,480
So you know, I think the best 
way to do it is we got an XY 

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,920
axis and let's call this 
contextual interference. 

60
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:51,880
You could also call it like 
external load, OK, which is like

61
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,160
stuff that's beyond your own 
body and your own thought 

62
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720
processes. 
So this would be like tournament

63
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,280
pressure, OK, now the shots 
matter. 

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,200
So as this ramps up, golf gets 
harder, OK, On this side we have

65
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,920
cognitive load and this is how 
much you're thinking and 

66
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,360
basically your attentional 
capacity for maybe your own 

67
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
swing. 
And here's here's the thing, 

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,680
everybody's got a different 
bandwidth. 

69
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,080
So this would be like your kind 
of call it your skill band and 

70
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,920
you're pretty high level skill 
guy overall. 

71
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:23,760
You're a 0 handicap. 
So your band is generally fairly

72
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,400
high. 
You can think about a couple 

73
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,200
things and maybe do it on the 
course. 

74
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,280
Some people with less would be 
down here and they can't do as 

75
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,200
much. 
So if you give 30 handicap 3 

76
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,640
swing thoughts and you tell them
hit a shot for 100 bucks they 

77
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,360
can't even make contact. 
Correct or. 

78
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,680
Good contact. 
So understanding where you're at

79
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,960
and what we call this, this is 
what we call challenge zone, 

80
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,400
which is a term from Mark 
Wattagnoli, Tim Lee. 

81
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Understanding where you are in 
terms of your own skill level is

82
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,440
really key. 
And then understanding this 

83
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,720
would be what we call the 
workshop. 

84
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,800
So the workshops down here, 
that's where we build our swing.

85
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,760
And you've been doing that and 
it's actually going pretty good.

86
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,680
But then you're trying to go 
over to here to more like what 

87
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,680
we call the arena or more like 
the performance zone where 

88
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,080
you're trying to take it to the 
course and it's not working. 

89
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,560
But have you done much in the 
lab which is where you transfer 

90
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,480
it? 
Probably not. 

91
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,399
Probably not. 
Yeah. 

92
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,600
So this is where we got to dive 
in and we got to find ways to 

93
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,640
basically make it destabilize 
your pattern and make your 

94
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,040
practice harder and keep 
thinking so that you can 

95
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,280
actually use some of the 
cognitive load up here. 

96
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,560
And you know, basically like 
you're trying to go over here 

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,000
and you're trying to basically, 
you know, keep thinking about a 

98
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,760
little bit while you're doing it
on the course. 

99
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,960
But unfortunately, when you 
think even a little bit, it just

100
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,760
gets to too difficult. 
So you have both really high 

101
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,440
like prep pressure of 
tournaments, external load, and 

102
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,240
then you also have a lot of 
thinking going on. 

103
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,200
And this is what we call the 
danger zone in the danger zone. 

104
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,120
And then when you're in the 
danger zone, you don't hit solid

105
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,360
shots, correct? 
Get big misses. 

106
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200
OK, So what are the things that 
need to happen in here? 

107
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,680
So how do we train in the lab? 
We have to understand we're 

108
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,480
trying to add a lot of 
variability to our environment 

109
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,040
and we have to keep thinking 
about the stuff we're doing. 

110
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,960
So even though you're not going 
to be flushing it on the range, 

111
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,320
we're going to be thinking a lot
and try to flush it, OK? 

112
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,760
So you're going to push your 
limits and I'm going to give you

113
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,600
some drills to walk through 
this, OK? 

114
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,680
And I think it'll be really fun.
Got it. 

115
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,920
So what we need to go is we need
to, I'm hitting it great on 

116
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,960
parallax. 
I've got all my numbers where I 

117
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,360
want them to be, and I've hit it
with a golf ball as well, right?

118
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,680
That's where we got to get to 
here. 

119
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,600
And then to get to A tournament,
we have to work our way. 

120
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,800
We have to work we. 
Can't go from here to. 

121
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,240
Correct. 
And in this whole shift, we call

122
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,920
it skillful sliding is really 
what the tournament player. 

123
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,400
And I think that the future golf
is all about being like, you can

124
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,800
go do workshop, you can have a 
big event coming up and you can 

125
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,120
go switch to more of this or you
can stop in the middle and kind 

126
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,280
of like transfer train. 
This is where we almost just 

127
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,160
it's all mental. 
You know, if we do a good job 

128
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,200
here, this will work really well
if we don't do a good job here. 

129
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,040
Because I would say in your 
range time, how often have you 

130
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,720
gone out there, switch targets, 
added pressure, change shapes, 

131
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,480
make it difficult with your new 
swing. 

132
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,960
Have you done a lot of that? 
No, no, I I think most of it's 

133
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,720
been the most I've done is just 
shot shaping. 

134
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,080
Sure. 
A little bit shot shaping right 

135
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,280
that. 
That helps me a lot, but yeah, 

136
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,480
not not enough of that. 
Drinks for training. 

137
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,040
Walk us through a What do you 
want to see? 

138
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,920
So we're going to start with 
just like a simple kind of like 

139
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,720
we'll do a 20 shot. 
I love 2020 is a good number 

140
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,920
because now you have statistical
significance and we'll just go 

141
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,240
through all these different 
targets and we're going to score

142
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,800
it like we're going to basically
say within 5%. 

143
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:45,880
That's a birdie, OK OK, within 
10%, that would be a par. 

144
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,640
More than 10% is bogey. 
So we got -1 even plus one. 

145
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,200
And you're going to do a series 
of 20 shots and you're going to 

146
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,840
think about your swing with a 
smooth backswing. 

147
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,440
So you have a little bit of a 
little bit of like space and 

148
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,120
time to make sure the swing is 
actually kind of clicking. 

149
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,640
So you might be 1/2 club 
shorter, but it's you're kind of

150
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,800
proving that you could use some 
of the mechanics while you're 

151
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,040
testing and making it hard, OK. 
Let's do it. 

152
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,080
Let's show some of what this 
looks like. 

153
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,680
OK, cool. 
I guess tell me stories of some 

154
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:23,440
of your students of like making 
it through the what other other 

155
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,920
terms for the death zone is that
they. 

156
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,480
Call it a danger zone. 
Yeah, the. 

157
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,680
Yeah, I mean, that's very, very 
when we have to trademark that 

158
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,520
one, The Death Zone. 
I love that. 

159
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,600
That's an Everest, right? 
That's an Everest. 

160
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
You get to the top. 
So so it's really common and I 

161
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,200
think the more you compete and 
the more you're out there doing 

162
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,640
it, the easier it is. 
And then if you're 16 years old,

163
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,520
you can do South in the workshop
and you can transfer to the 

164
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,520
arena and like performance 
really fast. 

165
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,320
It's a little harder when you're
older because you have all those

166
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,360
reps of being a little under and
flipping, you know what I mean? 

167
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,640
So let's get you this for a 
couple shots and then we'll kind

168
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,480
of jump right into it. 
OK. 

169
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,800
And I don't like, you know, I 
don't really feel like people 

170
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,480
need a big warm up for this sort
of work. 

171
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,800
It's kind of like you can get a 
few balls rolling and then we're

172
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:17,560
going to start testing. 
Yeah, it was like it was. 

173
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,760
It was such a frustrating trying
to transfer what I've been 

174
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,320
working on because I've been 
hitting it so well. 

175
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,800
Really. 
Yeah, and like, you know, at at 

176
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,520
men's league the other day had 
shot under par and it was just 

177
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,760
pretty much just like hit it and
go where your ball goes, where 

178
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,920
you want it to. 
Go interesting. 

179
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,799
And with men's league, how much 
do you kind of care about that? 

180
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:38,679
I mean, are you thinking about 
your swing out there? 

181
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,240
A little bit, a little bit, 
yeah. 

182
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,280
I mean, I've been trying to. 
I mean, the big thing for me is 

183
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:54,600
like pop, pop up and cover. 
And when you're mentally does 

184
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,000
it, does it seem like overall 
you're keeping the handle lower 

185
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
than you might be in a in a 
qualifier? 

186
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,520
It sure seemed that sure felt 
that way. 

187
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,520
My driver shape was different. 
The only the hint that I have is

188
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,720
my driver changed. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

189
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,320
So one of one of the most useful
tools I would say if you really 

190
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,520
know this is a problem is you 
have to go to some of these 

191
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,880
competitive events and be like, 
I'm really OK shooting 90 and 

192
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,120
I'm just going to go do it. 
Yeah. 

193
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,920
And you probably should 
certainly go practice a bunch 

194
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,360
with these fields and and go out
there first, like with your own 

195
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,840
ball in a cart by by yourself in
the evening and then go play 

196
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,120
with some buddies and ramp it 
up. 

197
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,400
But you really have to just say,
I don't really care what I shoot

198
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,120
Otherwise it will be hard to 
transfer. 

199
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,840
Got it right. 
But if we do this right work and

200
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,640
kind of do more of this, kind of
like right in the middle of the 

201
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,960
lab where you're doing some 
skill but also thinking it helps

202
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,760
a lot. 
OK, I guess let's. 

203
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,520
So we're ready to dive in. 
Let's play the game. 

204
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,120
OK, so we're going to just go 
and I, I love kind of random 

205
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,920
stuff here. 
So we're going to go kind of 

206
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,000
left to right across starting at
70 yards. 

207
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,880
So that pin that's about there. 
You can see that 70 yard. 

208
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,480
So grab your 70 yard. 
You actually were going to 

209
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,400
change distance too. 
Yeah, I do. 

210
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400
I want to change distance on 
every shot and I want you to 

211
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,880
have a pre shot routine that 
mimics your feel of what you're 

212
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,920
trying to achieve. 
So you're going to feel like, 

213
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,760
OK, I'm trying to, I don't know 
if you want to. 

214
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,240
We don't need to cross line or 
anything right now. 

215
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,480
We're just trying to feel like 
this, right? 

216
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:17,560
And you're trying to feel a 
little bit back. 

217
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:20,760
So you're going to try to feel 
these on every shot and you can 

218
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,520
give that as part of your pre 
shot routine. 

219
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,920
Yeah, that's my pre shot. 
Routine and that's your doing. 

220
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720
Good, that kind of thing. 
Handle low good and then go 

221
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,680
around. 
And keep the backswing pretty 

222
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:34,000
smooth because that gives us a 
bandwidth to kind of go into the

223
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,440
new pattern we've been working 
on better. 

224
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,240
I mean, pretty good. 
A little strong, but it's not 

225
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:44,920
good. 
Yeah, good. 

226
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,680
OK, Now we're going to move left
to right to the next one's 90 

227
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,960
yards. 
And so that shot we were saying 

228
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,960
within 10% would be a par. 
You were just outside of seven 

229
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,440
yards, you got a bogey. 
So we're scoring while we're 

230
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,200
doing it, OK, Because now we 
have like the pressure of it 

231
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,000
counts and we're thinking. 
OK, OK. 

232
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,160
So now we're going 90 yards. 
The one just passed. 

233
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,360
It one just passed it. 
Exactly. 

234
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,920
There's a whole separate 
conversation, but I also feel 

235
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,920
like all my wedge distance 
control work in the simulator 

236
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,680
did not transfer either. 
Really. 

237
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,280
And you're saying that because 
you're going too far, too short?

238
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,760
Too far every time. 
Do you think you've gotten 

239
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,480
better with your dynamic line 
and getting a little more down 

240
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,520
on it possibly? 
Yeah, definitely some proof. 

241
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,680
Yes, I do. 
And so that that might be 

242
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,400
something that's causing that 
thing to jump a bit. 

243
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,560
That could. 
That's a good point. 

244
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,680
OK, I don't know, was that that 
was probably par anyway. 

245
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,360
Yeah. 
All right. 

246
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,280
Next pin is going to be, I don't
know, 155 on the left there. 

247
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,640
And so as you're doing these, 
you're thinking a lot about what

248
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,040
you're trying to do, but you're 
also thinking about your target,

249
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,360
right? 
So this is basically the lab. 

250
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,760
It's like we're doing a lot of 
cognitive load and we're testing

251
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,760
so that it starts to work. 
We we don't want this just to be

252
00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,880
performance. 
Correct. 

253
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,960
And this is where like we, we 
say it's OK if you're not great 

254
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,240
at this. 
Like I would almost say you 

255
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,960
should be hitting at 80 to 90% 
solid instead of 100 because if 

256
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,960
you're 100, you're not changing 
the pattern enough. 

257
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,920
Got it. 
No, it's OK to kind of suck at 

258
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:12,960
this a little bit. 
OK? 

259
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,000
So make the swing look 
beautiful, all right? 

260
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,080
You tell me how this looks, then
let's see. 

261
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,280
So it looks pretty good. 
You were doing a lot better, I 

262
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,440
think, with your dynamic angle. 
But the shape tells you what? 

263
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,080
What does the shape tell you on 
that one? 

264
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,840
It's closed. 
It's closed and you're inside 

265
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,760
out, right? 
Inside out. 

266
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,360
And so let's do another one. 
Obviously generally in this game

267
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,840
you would kind of switch targets
every time, but I want you to 

268
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,240
see if you can get try to get 
the path even more left, because

269
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,800
we want to want to feel more 
cuts, right? 

270
00:12:54,040 --> 00:13:03,610
All right. 
And I will say here, Corey, like

271
00:13:03,690 --> 00:13:06,210
your swing to me looks better 
than when I saw you last time. 

272
00:13:06,210 --> 00:13:08,250
Oh, good. 
You are aimed right. 

273
00:13:09,090 --> 00:13:10,930
I'm aimed right. 
You're aimed 5 yards right. 

274
00:13:10,930 --> 00:13:12,890
And I wonder if it's because 
you're doing the kickstand real 

275
00:13:12,890 --> 00:13:14,930
and you're kind of aiming and. 
Last time I was aimed. 2.1 

276
00:13:15,410 --> 00:13:17,050
You've changed it. 
OK, go to work. 

277
00:13:17,210 --> 00:13:18,690
Go to work. 
It worked, yeah. 

278
00:13:20,210 --> 00:13:21,850
So let's let's just aim a little
more left. 

279
00:13:22,130 --> 00:13:23,410
Show me one more to that same 
target. 

280
00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:25,930
But I'm I'm liking a lot of what
you're doing, to be honest. 

281
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,760
So if I was, if I was by myself 
right now, I'd be using video 

282
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,720
feedback. 
Right, you would you'd be using 

283
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,680
your your parallax while you're 
doing this aim a little more 

284
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:36,760
left tiny bit. 
There you go. 

285
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,920
That's a point of good. 
Perfect. 

286
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:50,240
OK, we actually got a cut on. 
It anyway, yeah, it's really 

287
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,800
well. 
Your alignment is really 

288
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,160
different than the last time. 
Yeah, it's funny how quickly 

289
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,400
things can change in this game, 
right? 

290
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,480
That is nuts. 
That's why, like, we always got 

291
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,840
to do this right? 
Yeah, we got to do this 

292
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,120
constantly. 
Checking these things. 

293
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,760
So we'll keep going. 
Let's say that was a par bogey. 

294
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,760
The next one's kind of, I don't 
know, 120 on the right. 120 on 

295
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,400
the right. 
So how much do you think this 

296
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,400
sort of training would hurt your
performance versus just trying 

297
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:25,080
to hit great shots? 
Ask that another way. 

298
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,160
Maybe. 
I mean, do you feel like you're 

299
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,120
handicapped doing this because 
you're thinking a lot? 

300
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,200
It's not going to be as good. 
You're hitting it like a 5. 

301
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,320
But at least we're training the 
stuff we need under the right 

302
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,520
situation. 
You know what I mean? 

303
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,680
We're training. 
Thinking and we're training in 

304
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,960
the variable environment. 
Exactly, exactly. 

305
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,080
So we're trading one for the 
other a bit, but if we don't do 

306
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,160
it, we won't transfer at all, 
right? 

307
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,400
How's the 120 flag going? 
Yeah, it's kind of the one on 

308
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,800
the right, I guess. 
That's where I was aiming 

309
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,080
before. 
OK, got it. 

310
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,240
That's why that's okay. 
Never mind. 

311
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,440
You were in over there. 
Got it. 

312
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,040
Okay, now we figured. 
Some things. 

313
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,400
Now you're perfect. 
Okay, here we go. 

314
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,240
We can cut that video out if we 
need to. 

315
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,440
See, that's the stuck. 
What's that? 

316
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,240
That's a good stuck shot. 
Yeah, Yep. 

317
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,880
So you know, this is where OK, 
I'm going to give you another 

318
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,520
one and this would be OK during 
this training be like OK, if you

319
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,680
feel like you hit a bad one and 
you want to try to feel a little

320
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,920
more released to get the face 
feeling here you. 

321
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,200
Can do that was this this is 
clues right we got toe down full

322
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,840
toe down on that we can tell 
that through the divot maybe all

323
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:41,280
right so here we go again. 
Now that was it, wasn't it? 

324
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,920
Yeah. 
I think you're like in a classic

325
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,880
place of transfer hell, You 
know, it's kind of like you can 

326
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,040
do it, but it's not that 
consistent as soon as you had 

327
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,040
pressure. 
It's really hard as someone, 

328
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,760
maybe we got some classic stuck 
folks here with me, but as a 

329
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,520
classic get stuck behind. 
It's really hard to get it on 

330
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,520
top. 
So then could you exaggerate 

331
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,200
this? 
So I had this guy who's really 

332
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,840
good, really good player at a 
over at Hazeltine. 

333
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,720
And he's like, he struggles to 
get 2 inside out, kind of like 

334
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,880
you. 
So I said, all right, I want you

335
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,840
to practice at -9 And he's 
trying to hit really hard, hard 

336
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,000
cuts. 
So you could push the envelope 

337
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,200
on this and say, I'm not going 
to hit it good, but I'm going to

338
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,840
hit really outside in cuts and 
just really cover it. 

339
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,960
So let's go a little more 
aggressive with that. 

340
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,280
So next target, let's call 
IT175180 probably. 

341
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,760
And I want you to just 
exaggerate it more. 

342
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,040
So Sam, I won't do a cut setup, 
but just. 

343
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,560
Yeah, you're just going to feel 
that low left handle. 

344
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:52,040
Yeah. 
Good, you hit a terrible. 

345
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,480
Shot. 
I hit a terrible shot. 

346
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,480
And that's where I say like 80 
to 90% good contact is kind of 

347
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,880
the goal. 
You get to 100. 

348
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,560
You're probably not changing the
swing enough, you know? 

349
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,440
So you want you're saying 
practice if you need to practice

350
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,119
extreme practice this, right? 
Yeah, because we want to get 

351
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,880
this in 1000 reps, not 10,000, 
you know, and if you don't push 

352
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,880
the envelope pretty hard, you 
won't get there very fast. 

353
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,079
So finish low left, but try to 
hit a good shot. 

354
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:23,480
Good. 
See, that was some of the bad 

355
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,480
shots. 
Got it. 

356
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,880
And I was super toy, right? 
So now I'm going to throw the 

357
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,680
impact opposites feel at you and
be like, OK, could you not hit 

358
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,720
the toe on this one? 
Could you hit more heel with 

359
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,120
that same sort of feel, Right. 
We're about to find out. 

360
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:48,560
Yeah, I got good news. 
OK, so back too much, my brain 

361
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:48,960
broke. 
Yeah. 

362
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:49,800
It's great. 
Keep going. 

363
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,800
Broke my brain. 
And this is kind of like, you 

364
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,120
know, I'm going back to the 
chart again talking about that 

365
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,680
you're at you're totally at the 
edge of it's almost too much. 

366
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,480
Yeah. 
But you're grading it on your 

367
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,920
contact instead of parallax. 
And that's what that's what most

368
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,760
people do. 
That's why I kind of want you to

369
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,120
struggle and talk through this. 
The goal is not to hit it good. 

370
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,600
I'm just sitting over this ball 
forever because I have so many 

371
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,120
things I'm trying to think about
right now. 

372
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,240
I thought the contact was 
terrible, but the swing was 

373
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,400
pretty decent, you know? 
And so the whole thing, you, you

374
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,720
know, it's like decoupling from 
impact is how you're going to 

375
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,760
learn. 
So let's keep going until you 

376
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,320
can start to square it up and 
figure it out. 

377
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:35,520
Yeah, low left, low left, 
release it a little earlier. 

378
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560
You don't need to maybe feel as 
active with the lower body. 

379
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,400
All things equal. 
You got to just let the arms 

380
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,680
release low left. 
That was actually very close. 

381
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,080
OK, right. 
Good shape. 

382
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,600
Just got a group then. 
It definitely went definitely we

383
00:18:49,600 --> 00:19:03,920
started left was not the stuck. 
That's it. 

384
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,880
Nice. 
Look at that man. 

385
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,040
Yeah, OK, so we took us four and
then what we'd found is we got a

386
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,040
little stuck in the block 
practice because we had to slide

387
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,720
down to the workshop for a hot, 
hot minute to feel it. 

388
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,040
But then you flush one and 
you're like OK I actually hit 4 

389
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,840
shitty ones but now I got OK. 
You got your first path that was

390
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,840
pretty negative. 
Covered it pretty well. 

391
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,440
OK. 
So things that we're thinking 

392
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,320
about here is we're switching 
targets and distances, switching

393
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,480
clubs every time. 
We're trying to think as much as

394
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,240
possible, right, Because we want
all the swing thoughts. 

395
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,960
We're judging the shots based on
the result plus the swing at the

396
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,360
same time. 
If we do make a bad swing, pause

397
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:42,160
for a minute maybe and try to 
improve it. 

398
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,960
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

399
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,600
OK. 
Do you think now though, like we

400
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,400
hit a good one? 
Now let's move on. 

401
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,560
Yeah, yeah. 
So it is. 

402
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,760
It is this really tricky part 
because I do want you to care 

403
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,640
about the shot a little bit, but
I also want you to be OK with 

404
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,320
getting a lot of bad results. 
But, you know, regressing your 

405
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,480
old pattern's not an option. 
It's not what we're doing. 

406
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,600
We're in the lab, so it needs to
feel like we're trying to care. 

407
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,200
And you're trying to make the 
swing awesome, too. 

408
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,600
And that's what's really hard 
about playing golf right now is 

409
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:13,560
that I'm, I get stuck, you know,
I hit one, I, I can think of a 

410
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,440
handful of shots which were hit 
like that. 

411
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,000
I can also think of a handful of
shots which were not hit like 

412
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,000
that over there, Yes. 
So it's right like you said, 

413
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,880
it's right in the danger. 
Zone, it is in the danger zone 

414
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,920
and so you're kind of looking at
the feedback. 

415
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,320
How's my video look? 
Does it look pretty good? 

416
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,400
Then I'm happy with it and then 
I solve contact biases, but hit 

417
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,080
a lot of bad ones don't do the 
same bad. 

418
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,200
So if you know overall your face
is open, you better release it, 

419
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,640
make it go more left. 
If you're chunking, a lot of 

420
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,360
them feel a little thinner, you 
know what I mean? 

421
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:47,760
What do you think about this 
thing is like, I feel like in 

422
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,200
pressure, yeah, I definitely get
sucked. 

423
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,560
I like use the ability to cover 
and like use my lower body and I

424
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,720
just kind of we're just going. 
Yes. 

425
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,360
You know, like this. 
Yeah. 

426
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,120
Do I just, is that a thing of 
like more reps? 

427
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:03,880
And then this is just we're 
always focused. 

428
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,840
We're just going to focus on 
that a lot for a while. 

429
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Yeah, yeah. 
And, and I would say especially 

430
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,680
for you, a little bit of an easy
way to to, to, to perform 

431
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,600
without thinking as much lower 
body is just make sure that club

432
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,360
is out in front releasing the 
arms or doing enough work. 

433
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,760
So your hips going this way a 
bit, but you're also just 

434
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,000
releasing that, you know? 
The death zone that I fell into 

435
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,760
was, I think I I was doing that 
at the same time of going right 

436
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,880
towards. 
The guy, right? 

437
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,160
And so then we fall into those 
like traps. 

438
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,760
Yes. 
Now see, and it's like very 

439
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,640
clear where I am in this. 
What? 

440
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,280
What did you call it the? 
Skillful, skillful sliding and 

441
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,200
the big thing is everybody 
always is like they want to hit 

442
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,320
good shots on the range. 
You can see I'm very comfortable

443
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,520
with you hitting it like shit on
the edge. 

444
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,040
I do not care if you're bad. 
But when I was a young coach, I 

445
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,280
would feel bad for my students 
struggling. 

446
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,600
And now I realize that is the 
whole point. 

447
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Now if we want to feel better 
about it, we can just kind of go

448
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,880
blank mind and you should move 
towards more close to maybe the 

449
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,120
arena where you're performing. 
And so that would be our next 

450
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:07,560
challenge. 
But I want to give you one more 

451
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,120
kind of like way. 
Like let's say you're a little 

452
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,000
farther along and you're 
starting to make it fairly solid

453
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,920
and it's looking pretty good. 
Now we start to start to 

454
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,000
integrate like this, this idea 
of sequencing different shapes 

455
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,520
while we do it, OK, which is 
going to be really hard for you.

456
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,680
OK, But I want you to think 
about your new swing and I want 

457
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,240
you to do stock shot. 
Yep, draw stock shot, fade stock

458
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,480
shot, windball with your 
mechanics. 

459
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,600
I like this. 
Extremely hard right? 

460
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,040
I think I'm going to be better 
at this. 

461
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,280
OK, interesting. 
I can almost guarantee that I 

462
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,200
will be fine. 
Got it. 

463
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,280
I don't know if that's weird or 
not, but it is weird. 

464
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,000
This is where it's time to 
thrive. 

465
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Got it. 
So while I'm hitting these 

466
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,240
shots, tell me about why this 
is. 

467
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,960
Why is this important? 
Well, it makes the whole pattern

468
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,800
more more kind of flexible, you 
know, was that stock or draw 

469
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,040
that was? 
Draw OK now stock? 

470
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,640
Yep. 
And we'll call it new stock, 

471
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:07,640
which is path, goal, what -1 or 
two, something like that group 

472
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,640
then. 
But you know. 

473
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:12,880
I did hit the shot. 
You did hit the shot and now 

474
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,160
we're going back to stock or I'm
sorry, now we're going back to 

475
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:29,240
fade, right? 
OK, I like it. 

476
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,080
I like it. 
Now we're going back to stock. 

477
00:23:43,290 --> 00:23:46,210
It's kind of fun. 
That's a good swing. 

478
00:23:46,210 --> 00:23:51,130
Yeah, and now we're going to do 
windball now, OK for you. 

479
00:23:51,130 --> 00:23:56,210
What's that mean? 
Probably a little bit back and 

480
00:23:56,210 --> 00:23:58,730
then kind of chop at it. 
OK, OK. 

481
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,120
I don't see what happens. 
We can talk more about. 

482
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,800
That I don't really have much of
an idea here currently. 

483
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,040
I mean, the big thing I would 
say is like you need to have an 

484
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,520
option and different people have
different ways to do it. 

485
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,520
You got an option there. 
So that's kind of. 

486
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Hold up real quick. 
We're good. 

487
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,360
You know, you're right in the 
teeth of now we're now we're 

488
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:24,880
trying to make shots happen. 
You're also thinking about your 

489
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,120
move and then you are finding 
different solutions to the 

490
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:29,800
problem. 
And this is like that, that edge

491
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,680
of like it's it's, it's pretty 
gnarly. 

492
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,600
You're going to hit a lot of bad
shots, but you're going to learn

493
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,400
fast. 
We don't have to judge it on 

494
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,480
contact every time. 
So one thing that I haven't done

495
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,160
here is I haven't like done some
of this stuff. 

496
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,240
Like. 
You know, really gotten in here,

497
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,440
done this. 
What's your thought? 

498
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,440
Are we still thinking like speed
is better or what are we? 

499
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,720
Yeah, I think for the most part,
you know, I kind of like the 

500
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,760
three quarter 1/4 reel. 
OK, I think I'd go pretty quick 

501
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,320
most of it. 
Now as we move into the last 

502
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,240
part of like we're almost to the
arena, like let's see, had a 

503
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,200
tournament next week, then you 
should be doing a lot more and 

504
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,960
more like exactly how are you 
going to play golf going through

505
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,320
pre shot routine and thinking 
less lightning the cognitive 

506
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,200
load and trying to hit solid. 
So you might your swing might 

507
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,480
not look as pretty, but you're 
going to hit more solid. 

508
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,120
So that's where we start 
integrating more pre shot 

509
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:19,760
routine and getting for the 
course. 

510
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,080
But when folks are just working 
on their swing, let's hit shots.

511
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,960
Let's hit shots and let's be OK 
with hitting a bad, but don't do

512
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,880
the same bad. 
Solve it with the Impact 

513
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,560
Opposites framework while you're
in that spot, yeah. 

514
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,120
All right, we're in the lab. 
Do we? 

515
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,640
What do you think? 
I think you got the heart of it,

516
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,680
but but just understand that the
the hardest part of the lab is 

517
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,440
that when you start to add more 
pressure. 

518
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,920
Yeah, you you're in danger of 
going into the cognitive like 

519
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,760
overload in the danger zone 
comes if you're still thinking a

520
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,520
lot. 
Yeah. 

521
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,400
And that's what most people just
don't really think very well. 

522
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,240
About well, I think right now is
we were just kind of show I can 

523
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,160
hit a good shot that I I feel 
like the swing is good and the 

524
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,400
contact is good yes it's 
probably what one every four 

525
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,320
times right now? 
One every five times yeah. 

526
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,040
So that's hard to take to the 
it's. 

527
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,280
Really hard to take the golf 
course. 

528
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,920
So now let's do a little 
training where we're kind of 

529
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,560
like doing pre shot routine, 
switching targets, and I might 

530
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,120
even throw this where like, you 
know, I'm going to have you do a

531
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:14,680
push up every four shots, just 
like physiologically stress you.

532
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,760
And you could do this in so many
different ways, but you want to 

533
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,680
find different ways to add 
stress while you're practicing 

534
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,440
and make it weird and and it 
sounds crazy, but even 

535
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,600
practicing when you're tired, 
it's good. 

536
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,800
You know, it's OK, like fight 
that because what do you know 

537
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,040
about the best golfers is 
they're ready for any shot at 

538
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,320
any time in front of anybody. 
And so you have to train when 

539
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,320
that whole bandwidth of 
different ways to add 

540
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,600
difficulty. 
Don't make don't look for 

541
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,080
consistency, look for hardship 
and overcome it. 

542
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,840
Got it. 
Yeah, talk through. 

543
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,320
OK, so let's go through like you
can, you can RIP driver, let's 

544
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,440
go through some holes and we're 
going to go through more like 

545
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,760
full shot routine. 
And this is where I would say 

546
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,760
now our goal is 95% solid 
strikes. 

547
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,440
And so for you, you have to 
decide what cognitive load you 

548
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,080
need so that you can hit it 
solid. 

549
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,280
So if you think it's just one 
thing to think about, do that. 

550
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,920
If you think you can manage 3 
and hit it pretty solid, do 

551
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:13,920
that. 
You know what I mean? 

552
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,400
I can try. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

553
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,160
It's it's the baby one. 
I mean, honestly, you're into 

554
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,000
the wind. 
Impressed me. 

555
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,600
Cory, if you get ball speed 190,
you will not hit them. 

556
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,440
Really. 
Nope. 

557
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,560
OK. 
Does that sound like a fun, a 

558
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,640
fun challenge? 
I'll pay the ER visit if you can

559
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,920
hit them. 
So we're going to play. 

560
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,880
We're going to play some holes. 
Yep, and you're going to go 

561
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,320
through full routine. 
Full routine? 

562
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:38,400
And how much do you want to 
think? 

563
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,240
This is a good cognitive load 
question. 

564
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,800
Right now I have to think a lot 
you do I have to add these. 

565
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,280
But if you don't, what happens? 
I don't know, I think I'm just 

566
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,560
going to go inside out and high 
handle, OK. 

567
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,120
So here's what I would say. 
If you want to perform well in 

568
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:58,280
tournaments, you probably need 
to practice some without 

569
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,560
thinking too much. 
And I think you haven't done 

570
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,280
that much at all. 
So think about Phil Mickelson. 

571
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,920
How high is that handle? 
How it's so bad? 

572
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,200
Can you be the second best 
player in your generation with a

573
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,680
high handle? 
You can. 

574
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,560
You can, you can be. 
So we're going to not think if 

575
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,120
we're trying to do performance, 
the training, you know, I know 

576
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,960
it's not going to be pretty, but
swing smooth, have good tempo 

577
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,880
and almost go, let's go, no 
cognitive. 

578
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,760
Thoughts. 
No thoughts. 

579
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,600
Just. 
Hit shots and this is how you're

580
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,960
really going to want to practice
for getting ready for a big 

581
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,600
event. 
All right, so we're going to aim

582
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,360
between the two flags at the end
down there. 

583
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:31,400
Yep. 
Is that fair enough? 

584
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,400
Yep. 
OK, we're going to think I just.

585
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,640
I hit straight balls, to be 
honest. 

586
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,160
So that's what we're going to 
try to do. 

587
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,040
Oh, gross. 
See that? 

588
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,760
Well, that is really 
representative actually. 

589
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,280
That's pretty much what it did, 
right? 

590
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,080
Yeah. 
And so, OK, so let's do it 

591
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,960
again. 
If you, if you notice a trend, 

592
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,920
you know how we look at data 
trends and like if it's one, 

593
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,160
we're going to move on. 
If we get 234, we see a pattern,

594
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,800
then we just get the club face 
open using impact opposites. 

595
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,320
But we're not going to go 
mechanical cognitive load super 

596
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,640
high because you won't hit that 
solid. 

597
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,760
Yeah, it feels, if things feel 
really gross, I mean, I can try 

598
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,840
to hit a cut here. 
Yeah. 

599
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,720
Just show me a little cut that's
impact opposites like just feel 

600
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,840
a little fade out there. 
If you early extend a little 

601
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:23,680
bit, who cares? 
That was pretty good. 

602
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,560
Yeah. 
So this is kind of where I think

603
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,400
you should be playing a 
tournament instead of thinking a

604
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,440
ton, yeah, going to OK, I can 
hit little cuts. 

605
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,080
Yeah, I can early extend and I 
can be like Phil Mickelson and 

606
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,040
be OK, you know? 
What I mean all right. 

607
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,360
All right, look at that. 
Look at you out of the docks. 

608
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,400
172 and three O 7 carry. 
I mean this this driver's pretty

609
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,800
dog when I hit it. 
OK, let's play a couple more 

610
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,320
holes in our head and and we 
have to train this mindset of 

611
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,080
not thinking this is right on 
the edge of basically a 

612
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,880
performance zone, right arena, 
OK. 

613
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,440
So you want another? 
Driver another. 

614
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,960
Let's do Yeah. 
So let's go. 

615
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,840
Let's say you hit that at Summer
Bee number one. 

616
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,280
What do you have in? 
Is that like a high rear? 

617
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,560
Yeah, we've got like a let's 
just hit a forearm. 

618
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,920
How about that? 
We'll hit it at well, no, you 

619
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,080
don't like gaming of flags, do 
you? 

620
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,680
I mean, let's pick a flag in the
name 10 feet right of it, OK? 

621
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,240
Let's just go the farthest flag,
right and then, and then I can 

622
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,360
go anywhere right of this flag. 
I can't go left of. 

623
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,000
It. 
I like it. 

624
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,760
So we're very situational. 
Yeah. 

625
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,800
And then when with the wind, 
where we're at, do you want to 

626
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,280
hit draw or fade? 
You have a shape in mind. 

627
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,760
What do you like? 
I I have not been playing shape 

628
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:29,760
on the course. 
OK. 

629
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,120
So just hit stock shot, then 
stock shot I. 

630
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,960
Don't know if that's good or 
bad, but that's where we're at 

631
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:41,360
all right. 
And we hit it in the lake. 

632
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,120
OK, And so I think let's try it 
again. 

633
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,520
And I want you to feel a little 
fade. 

634
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,520
You know, obviously 1 sample, 
but it does seem like you are 

635
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,200
more prone to hit it left right 
now, aren't you? 

636
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,440
You got you got that right. 
So I just want you to feel 

637
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:04,320
fades. 
Has hit well. 

638
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,320
Hit Well, just a little pull 
baseball, right, Yeah. 

639
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,360
So we're going to kind of watch 
these trends and we're going to 

640
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,120
basically do this and test this 
is the betting to be like what 

641
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,480
could I expect on the course? 
Yep, because going into your 

642
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,360
last event you did almost 0 of 
this. 

643
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,360
No, I I to be honest, I find it 
really hard to get. 

644
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,160
Those shots on the range. 
So I'm very happy that we just I

645
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,000
just did OK. 
I typically can't. 

646
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:25,840
Really. 
Yeah, OK. 

647
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,320
All right. 
So this is good. 

648
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,480
Good, let's keep going. 
Good. 

649
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,040
This is good. 
All right, so let's go. 

650
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,160
Next fall into this. 
Next fall, yeah. 

651
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,680
OK, on this one, I would just 
let's just hit a hybrid for fun,

652
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,600
mix it up. 
And then do you like at this 

653
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,200
point just trying to feel baby 
fades because that's kind of a 

654
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,480
manageable sort of strategy, 
right? 

655
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,520
That's a good swing thought for 
us here today. 

656
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,160
Well, this is good. 
I haven't I haven't been able to

657
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,040
hit these kind of shots. 
So I'm quite pleased. 

658
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,760
It's money, yeah. 
OK. 

659
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,560
So a little bit of what we're 
seeing is you're you're instead 

660
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,400
of being internal focused on 
this, you're trying to hit the 

661
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,320
golf ball with the shape you're 
trying to do. 

662
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,120
Yeah. 
And the result's not that bad, 

663
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,480
right? 
So it's kind of going the closer

664
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,480
to competition, the more 
external focus we should be. 

665
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,680
What's that golf ball need to 
do? 

666
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,360
Let your body find the answer, 
you know what I mean? 

667
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,240
And then you actually can use 
some of it. 

668
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,240
Yeah, No, this is, this is 
brilliant. 

669
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,840
OK. 
So let's let's track back a 

670
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,200
little bit. 
So drill one, we're changing our

671
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,360
targets, lots of thoughts, lots 
of bad shots. 

672
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,200
We're trying to bring everything
together that we've been. 

673
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,880
Working and we're testing, but 
we're OK hitting about 1/5 

674
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,720
really bad or even 1/4. 
That's fine. 

675
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,520
Then our next transition is shot
shape, right? 

676
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,880
That's the next layer on and 
then after that we go to 

677
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,120
straight like clear the mind, 
yeah, go hit golf shots, right. 

678
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,080
So those are like the three 
stages of. 

679
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,400
The lab and all, all the while 
we're kind of using impact 

680
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,320
opposites framework a little bit
to make sure we can solve bias 

681
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,760
patterns. 
I'm not trying to, you know, 

682
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,400
think internal cues at all. 
Don't think about your body too 

683
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,800
much when you're playing golf. 
It doesn't work right. 

684
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,480
OK, your performance. 
Got it. 

685
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,480
Internal cues body is for 
workshop. 

686
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,120
And this is just the realities 
of the zone of 25% of your shots

687
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,120
are good. 
Yeah, Yeah, that is what it did.

688
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,000
Early on, totally, Yeah, Yeah. 
And then if, if, if, if you do 

689
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,520
the right stuff over time, you 
can, you can get to being pretty

690
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,840
flushing with a pretty good 
swing. 

691
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,880
But it's, it's a lot of battles 
to get there. 

692
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,080
I'm not, you know. 
How much work? 

693
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,920
So I'm hitting 2520% of shots 
decent right now. 

694
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,040
This is going to take me to get 
to 70% of shots are decent. 

695
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,600
And everybody's different, but 
you're pretty good athlete. 

696
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,440
And I also think like part of it
is you need to just accept that 

697
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,680
you don't need to think so much 
while you're playing golf. 

698
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,000
Just say little cuts like those 
feels transfer into the right 

699
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,720
body movements. 
It's kind of like we're we're 

700
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,960
achieving motor equivalents. 
When you feel little cuts, yeah,

701
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,200
you're not really extending that
much. 

702
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,280
You know what I mean? 
So I think given that you have 

703
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,760
an easier way to think than you 
do than you thought, yeah. 

704
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,240
That's great. 
This is is. 

705
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,640
This is the hardest part of this
whole process. 

706
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,760
I think, yeah, because people 
want that workshop swing to show

707
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,159
up on the course. 
And if you give me a 16 year old

708
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:15,719
kid, it kind of does very 
quickly. 

709
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,159
You're not, you're not 16. 
So then you have to do more time

710
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,639
in the lab and refine it and you
have to compete more. 

711
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,480
And you should make very, we 
always say breakdown your your 

712
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,440
practice and very strategic bins
of you got workshop lab and 

713
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,600
arena. 
Arena is really where you're 

714
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,880
very light touches. 
Again, external cues shape and 

715
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,159
what we're trying to do, make 
sure you do enough of that 

716
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,080
before your tournaments. 
And then definitely like, get in

717
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,600
the lab and kind of hit it 
relatively bad, but make the 

718
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,360
swing look pretty good too, you 
know? 

719
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,320
It's brilliant. 
It's different. 

720
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,639
It's different. 
I like it. 

721
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,239
Cool. 
This answered a lot of 

722
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,000
questions. 
Good. 

723
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:51,880
Any other questions from the 
audience back there? 

724
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,960
Do we? 
We covered a lot here in 

725
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000
transfer. 
We did maybe like.
