Eyes are on the tee! We are using the “blur of club” and “arc blur unstoppable momentum series” (see the driver video on that) to flick the tee into a summersault over the IP

Hey John! Sorry, they are no longer in business; but the name changed because of Tupperware, and it became “Forward grips” see if that works; Mr David Blois had sold the company to another entity in Toronto so you may be able to find one! Let me know!

This is exactly what will happen if you let it! Start by “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series #6” and feel what the body needs to do to keep whipping divots into the bushes!

Great question Brad!! Some of my students when doing the PMD are mot engaging the kinetic chain enough into the direction they want the grass clippings to go (see “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series” especially #6) and because they stay tall, the club tends to pass too close to the body and the distance to ball is compromised. So “goldilocks” to the rescue! When you gage that distance to ball, you are feeling “momentum already there before you start the swing” (great video series) and you are determining and predicting if your distance to ball will allow the arms and club to swing past you freely without you feeling the need to reach out (too far from ball) or hang on or stand up or jump out of the way (too close to the ball)

It is really magic feeling like you can’t miss when standing over the ball; just amazing; and you are looking with “interest curiosity” as to how close that shot will get to the hole or centre of fairway. Stay on it! 😀👍

Hey Krista! We go back to the club throwing; when you throw the club through the arc-blur into the direction you want to start the ball, and don’t let go, you should feel that big snap at the end of the shoulder sockets which forces the lead arm to fold down and under the trail arm extending into that re-hinge. Polish this feel and then use the “target confirmation series” and the “predict contact” videos to put the ball in the way of that snap created by momentum and the G-forces of the swing!

Hey Paul! Good question! This is practice in the routine; Sergio had to redo his whole routine at one point; the best one is
1-flight plan
2-intermediate point
3-set up matches picture; how do you know? Well, the prediction process is based on you letting momentum pass you by and into the direction of flight; so once you confirm that your ball position, your distance to ball, your grip club relationship and your ball first contact are in order, the question is:
4-WHERE IS MY MOMENTUM?
see “momentum already there before you start the swing” series as the final act of each routine!

A+ for the Momentum Series.. I’ve found that practicing my pre-shot routine in solitude is worlds apart from an actual game—where there are more distractions and human obstacles on the tee box.. ☹

One follow-up, when practicing, I am focusing more on mechanics and balance, not 100% on target because I have to fix things like not swaying in the backswing,  see NAIL THE CRITICAL FIRST 2 FEET OF YOUR BACKSWING, working my way through the clubs. Then, when playing, focus on my task and target, forging the mechanics, and wait for it to just come together on its own?? Will this ever happen.. does this approach make sense? It is just taking way too long for me.. ☹

Thanks again for your time!!!

Hey Paul! You mean foregoing the mechanics; yes! Staying with the target is another way to ensure that the proper mechanics will eventually come! Such as “match backswing to ball direction” and “blur of club” and “arc-blur unstoppable momentum series” where we constantly come back to hey, there is a flight plan that needs to be stayed with; then there is an intermediate point that is required to help us set up to that flight plan and then the set up matches us LETTING MOMENTUM DELIVER OUR TASK INTO THAT FLIGHT PLAN. When we stay with that, we are making the equivalent of that dart throw; and when you focus on throwing a dart to the bull’s eye an hour a day for 2 weeks, you get 15% better at the bull’s eye and closer to the bull’s eye for the rest of the misses. SAME APPLIES TO THE GOLF SWING; best way to ruin this is to start “making sure” and overdo the mechanics.

The videos of task, matching backswing to ball direction, super slow-super-wide super relaxed etc are for understanding and feel relating to the task when momentum is being used front and centre; you can apply these to the practice swing-then you deliver the momentum to the picture when the ball is there and throw the dart.

Great stuff.. Thanks!! By the way, have you noticed more online instructors adopting your concepts and methods? I wouldn’t say they’re stealing, but they should definitely give you some credit.

Yes, that is a great thing! Means there will be less suffering and more people staying in the game! I have seen many of them use my stuff; and yes, it definitely would be nice of them to give me a nudge once in a while for sure! 😝😀👍

With a slightly open face; so the leading edge does not dig!

Good to know. I’m getting really jammed up with the 60 yards pitches off muddy fairways and skulling them … Not great!

Remember the wood shavings or the carrot peel analogy? The sole of the club is going to send that thin slice into the direction you want to start the ball with MOMENTUM and it should feel nice and wide along the ground

Hey Mark! Just past left foot is great because you have to use some pretty solid G-forces to get that thing to snap at 110! Good on you! That is through enough! 😀👍

Exactly! When both are together they act as a brace and move in unison; you can’t mess that up! Well done grasshopper! 😀👍🫶💪

Yes, very common theme here for the vast majority of golfers; and the solution is in the prediction process;
1-you need to see where the blur of club is passing in your practice swings in the backswing and through swing and match this to ball and intermediate point; so the “blur of club” and “arc-blur unstoppable momentum series” to use a nice dose of momentum to get through there which will temper your quickness
2-that means your distance to ball will be good
3-the low point of arc observation will determine ball position
4-grip and club strong enough and polished enough through the “release” videos
5-levels; you feel low enough to collect and release along the ground towards the target with irons and woods; driver is not as important unless you are hitting off the deck

when the mind is calm, because of the predictability, (see “the goldilocks series”) the swing is not rushed😀👍

Hey Brad! For the first item; you can’t feel the weight of the club or the arms at the top of the backswing because this is when the arm-club unit is WEIGHTLESS; the arm-club unit has folded and the hinge is almost complete by then; you will feel the weight of the club as it gets caught by the kinetic chain in the transition and then really feel it when it releases your arm anatomy into the direction of flight just past the intermediate point. See the “throwing the club” video and when you throw the club and don’t let go, you get a nice emphatic snap in that anatomical release.

As for the feet; it will not be always perfect; as you are not used to the action and are always in a state of learning; a great video to combine this with is the “feet together back to feet apart” video where we dig into the ground forces that help you contain the feet together as there needs to be a nice up and down flow to it to keep you centred; you will see this in #6 of this series too! Keep it up! 😀👍

Exactly! Well said! A great centring video with ground force development is “feet together back to feet apart”; works very well with this tool!

Hi Adrian! Very important question! We will never use manipulation of the body parts in any of our drills and tasks; it kills ranges of motion, flow, reaction reflexes and is all around “no bueno”
What we always want is a nice dose of momentum to deliver the loaded arm-club unit through and into the direction of flight; this series is a very important series for UNDERSTANDING what happens through impact; but should never be used to steer, guide, slow down or “shove accelerate” anything.

Really good series to help with this aspect of use of momentum are “unstoppable momentum series” and “momentum already there before you start your swing” series.

Exactly! Well done! 😀👍
