0:00hey bring down anyone here thanks for
0:02joining us this way I want to give you
0:03something that you can learn to
0:05experience how to strike a ball
0:07effectively well consistently so there's
0:11one thing understanding what to do and
0:12I'm sure you're the same you probably
0:13you know probably watch quite a few
0:15videos this is not like to be your first
0:16and you understand a lot about the golf
0:18swing but you sometimes often are unable
0:21to transfer that understanding into
0:23better ball striking well I've got an
0:26exercise for you this week that will
0:28help you experience consistent ball
0:31striking with your irons and your woods
0:33but we're gonna focus predominately on
0:34irons it works for both so that you can
0:37actually take that experience and
0:38transfer it onto the golf course now
0:42Anthony a recent client of mine flies in
0:44from Australia not specifically to see
0:46me I'm Erhard he kind of just kind of
0:49visits and family and thought I'd take a
0:50little detour and come and see me now he
0:52was really struggling with his ball
0:53strike he was catching the ground a long
0:55way behind the ball he's hooking the
0:57bomb miles left but ultimately his ball
1:00striking was pause he wasn't getting any
1:02real power now what I want to do is I'm
1:05going to show you what we did with
1:06Antony to help him really massively
1:09improve his consistency of ball striking
1:11with one simple drill and a little
1:14system that we added to that drill to
1:16help him take it to the golf course so
1:19I'm gonna share with you in this video
1:20exactly where that is and so cuz I know
1:22you could benefit you too before I do
1:23that if you're new to the channel this
1:25was one of your first videos please
1:27consider subscribing press that little
1:29Bell bot and next to the subscribe
1:30button and you get to receive videos
1:32just like this one every single week in
1:33to your inbox so what was Anthony doing
1:37well let's talk about strike what are we
1:38trying to do first of all with the
1:40strike you know what is a good a good
1:42strike very simple you catch the ball
1:45first the club shaft is slightly ahead
1:49and everything pretty much is in line
1:52here that's how you strike a ball most
1:54people who are not striking a golf ball
1:55they tend to be in a flick position here
1:58their body's back over here somewhere
2:00and they start striking the ground
2:02behind the ball so if your body's over
2:05the top of the golf ball your hands are
2:07slightly ahead the likelihood is you're
2:09going to strike the ball more
2:10effectively
2:12I'm not sure if you knew this but most
2:14people do and these yet they still do
2:16cannot transfer that to a proper golf
2:18swing so let me show you how we did this
2:19with Antony so until he comes to see me
2:21and sure enough he's back here and he's
2:24flipping it no problem it's hands are
2:27doing exactly what they should be doing
2:29is recovering a poor position he needs
2:32to get his body more in line so we want
2:35to imagine in a sense I put a video in
2:36the top right hand corner I covered
2:38something similar last week where I
2:39talked about balance points we won't
2:41imagine a yellow dot at the bottom the
2:44yellow dot where on navel is and a
2:45yellow dot where I sternum is and we
2:47want those dots lined up and we want to
2:49maintain them all the way back in the in
2:52the backswing all the way through into
2:54impact most of us they move around too
2:57much and that affects the whole shape of
2:59the swing but also massively what we do
3:01impact and that's exactly what Antony
3:03was doing he was coming into impact here
3:05his hips were driving forward that would
3:08send this back here he was in this
3:09position here and the only thing you had
3:11left now was a flick of the wrists
3:13causing fat shots hook shots but huge
3:16loss of distance we needed to get him
3:18lined up and this is what we did nice
3:22and simple take your lead foot and take
3:25your trail foot put it behind your left
3:27foot here for me right foot behind and
3:28we want it complete to get this so that
3:31they're completely in line don't move
3:32the foot out here try and get them in
3:34line what this does it disrupts your
3:36balance it kind of gets everything
3:38almost in a linear fashion now if I was
3:40to move back now I'm gonna fall for this
3:43way yeah I've taken my balance away from
3:46here so if I change this line I'm gonna
3:49fall here and vice versa right so we get
3:52ourselves set we get the field we've put
3:55ourself up here trying to get now just
3:57feel like you're in a nice powerful
3:58position to hit this shot and all we did
4:00was simply get Anthony hitting golf
4:02balls from here what do you think he did
4:04straightaway he fall back now for the
4:08very first time he could actually
4:10experience these lines now not lining up
4:13because one's over here and the other
4:15ones down here so what he could do
4:17notice it right he now needed to feel
4:20everything here was balanced and
4:22completely in line and this
4:25really really help that so we got
4:27herself set up here I made a few swings
4:29and there started to hit a few shots
4:34from there suddenly he was now starting
4:37to strike the ball then the ground did
4:39he do it consistently of course he
4:40didn't you know what was happening is in
4:42between some of these good ones were
4:44falling back but the great thing now he
4:46could start to experience this right so
4:49he started hitting shots like this
4:51backwards and forwards backwards and
4:54forwards but he wasn't doing its
4:55consistency as I'd like and he missed
4:57one vital ingredient his belief when he
5:01was starting to swing he thought this
5:03club needs to go straight through he
5:06didn't realize that the club from here
5:07needs to go out to the ball and the
5:09handle needs to move to the body so club
5:11head moves to ball handle moves to body
5:13he thought it just went straight down
5:15the line here well watch this if you go
5:17straight down the line what happens to
5:18the body it starts to slide it doesn't
5:21rotate so look at this if we go straight
5:24down the line our body start to go like
5:26this and they immediately come out of
5:28alignment we need to throw the club out
5:32towards on an arc towards the ball so
5:35the handle now comes in when you do that
5:37you immediately now start to get its
5:40natural pivot without thinking and it's
5:42so much easier to stay in line if we
5:45start to go towards the target like this
5:47we immediately start to create almost
5:50like a rocking effect and they
5:51immediately go out of line so again
5:53affecting your ball striking so once
5:55we've done that set up this I got hit a
5:57few shots here I then imagine got him to
6:00start throwing the club through the ball
6:03like this is throwing it like this
6:07throwing the club not guiding it this is
6:12somebody who's quite knowledgeable about
6:13golfing and he was making it way too
6:15complicated what was happening was he
6:17was trying to steer the club into all
6:19these different positions that's not
6:21what Goff's about you cannot kind of
6:22guide this club you must at some stage
6:24let go so we've got him in this drill
6:25here is nice and balanced and where then
6:28we said look start sir
6:34throw the club now suddenly we're
6:37getting throwing the club here he's
6:38staying in line what happened well he
6:42clearly started to generate more club
6:43head speed and at the same time what he
6:46was doing he generated more club head
6:48speed but of course every so often he
6:50falls back but that's fine now he's got
6:54feedback now after a while he was
6:57hitting the ball Warner see other after
6:59the other would this drill perfectly but
7:03he said Danny how do I transfer that to
7:06this now well because every telling went
7:09back to this he had to go back to his
7:11old way what you've got to do first of
7:13all this is where you got to take your
7:15time with we then said right go to a
7:17narrow stance not full width stance to
7:19start off with what I wanted to do is is
7:21as you're making this swing here I said
7:24see if you can experience what's going
7:27on here and what he noticed right away
7:29was he imagined this point here there's
7:32the top dot for you might be the bottom
7:35dot although down it went down here but
7:36he thought about the top dot here and he
7:38could see it could start to visualize
7:39that dot going backwards so he then he
7:43said ok he started to picture where that
7:46dot wasn't oh yes over here oh that's
7:49gone over that okay now I get it
7:51so then he starts to his feet together
7:53you imagine this top dot and all I did
7:55is it asked us to write hit her shoe
7:56shots now we don't care where the ball
7:58goes and see if you can tell me where
8:00the dot is so it's
8:11been hit a few shots and now he could
8:14start to experience where the dot was
8:17now we didn't get into worrying about
8:19where the ball was that was a big key
8:20with I allowed him time to simply
8:22experience this line and that was it bit
8:27by bit I think together we start to
8:29alternate between this and this and
8:33gradually we start to move that those
8:35feet apart and the experience that he
8:37got which I know you could benefit from
8:38too he imagined this you could feel his
8:41core activating he could feel his body
8:43now starting to do this he was very much
8:46dear he was throwing it now the body was
8:48working naturally on an ark it wasn't
8:50moving side to side he could feel his
8:52core a bit stronger all this was
8:55naturally helping him to get this
8:57wonderful pivot and therefore get all of
8:59this completely lined up to strike this
9:04shot he wasn't doing this he didn't need
9:08to flick he wasn't striking the ground
9:10behind the golf ball and it was as
9:11simple as that
9:13so let's summarize how do you how can
9:16you benefit from this how do you start
9:17striking that golf ball it's very
9:19straightforward you need things more in
9:20line that if you get things in line the
9:23hands do have to do weird stuff you get
9:25those balance points in line how do you
9:27do it
9:27learn the feel of it using this simple
9:30drill here lead foot forward get into a
9:32feel at a powerful position onto your
9:34right toe do not move the flower here
9:36provide you too with too much debility
9:38to get it here then start hitting some
9:40shots as symbols that see here a few
9:41shots trying to hold that balance that's
9:45all you do now if you finding that
9:47you're doing that and you're not the
9:48balance is a little bit tricky you might
9:50be like Anthony down till he found it
9:52tricky to start with because what was
9:54happening was is he was still trying to
9:55go forward as opposed to no throw the
9:59club throw the club on an AK here allow
10:04the body to naturally rotate club goes
10:07out bum goes back or hips go back they
10:09go like this yeah that either more AK
10:13you get the more your body works like
10:15this ease it they bounce this is going
10:17to move all over the place yeah so he
10:19started to throw the club backwards
10:22and forwards after that he simply
10:26gradually took their similar feelings
10:29felt the dot here imagined played it
10:33played around with that dot notice where
10:35it was moving noticed that alignment and
10:40hey presto simple as that ball striking
10:44site to improve it really really just
10:45work so I hope you enjoyed this video
10:47and I really hope it helps you improve
10:49your ball strike it's certain did for
10:51Anton it's a very simple one be patient
10:53with it go through the system don't rush
10:56through this process take the drill
10:58throw the club build it in gradually and
11:01you'll really really help your pretty
11:03game so I hope you enjoy this new video
