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

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.480
play lots of golf with LPGA, Imateurs and American Singles Golf.

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:29.359
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
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
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
With Martin Chuck, this is Golf Smarter Premium.

46
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.319
Here's your host, Fred Green. Welcome back to the Golf

47
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.879
Smarter Podcast. Martin, Hey, it's.

48
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.319
Great to be back, Bretta. Thanks for having me.

49
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.840
It's my pleasure. I really enjoy having you on the show,

50
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.159
and I want to talk to you about what's going on.

51
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.719
I've been seeing you on Revolution Golf a time. You've

52
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.800
been doing a lot of golf videos, a lot of

53
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.080
phenomenal instruction, thank you, and really helpful stuff. I mean,

54
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.879
I hate to admit it, but yeah, I'm watching you

55
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.759
on Revolution Golf because I'm getting some great tips.

56
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:50.680
Thank you.

57
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:52.439
So doctor to me, what's going on with that?

58
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.280
Well, you know, I have a lot of fun with it.

59
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.360
It's a great platform, goes out to tons of people,

60
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.039
and you know, just that kind of exposure for me

61
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.520
is really exciting. I know that I've had a message

62
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.159
in the game of golf talk to me from some

63
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.800
great mentors, and it's just a pleasure for me. To

64
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.599
share that with people, you know, whether they're in the

65
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.520
United States, Canada, around the world, wherever.

66
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.039
And but you're doing a lot of stuff. I mean,

67
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.960
how often are you doing are you doing new tips?

68
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.680
You know? I'm usually on Relution Golf once a week,

69
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.919
sometimes twice. I'm on twice this week, will beyond tomorrow,

70
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.120
be on Friday, and then usually they kind of have

71
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.080
me plugged in on Tuesdays right now, which is plenty

72
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.240
because there's a blogging component, you know, we answer questions

73
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.599
and people have questions. So every day I'm kind of

74
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.879
dedicated to get online and answer questions in the blog

75
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.800
to anybody that wants to ask me questions. It keeps

76
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:44.400
me kind of busy, is it okay?

77
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:45.960
If you answer questions.

78
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.439
Here, that's why I'm here.

79
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.120
But well, well, the reason I say it that way

80
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.280
is because right now we're broadcasting this live via video

81
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.439
on periscope, and so yeah, and so the audience looking

82
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.560
at you, hopefully they can hear you as well. I

83
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.919
know they can hear me, and I'm looking at my screen.

84
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.159
So if anybody who's watching via periscope wants to ask

85
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.560
a question of Martin, please go ahead and submit it

86
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.400
on the screen, I'll be able to see it and

87
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.039
I will ask him myself. 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
To ask too, firewaymen.

90
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:22.160
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
And when you don't inflate the ball.

185
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.600
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
You don't have to be smart to make a great product.

204
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.159
You're right, I'm an example.

205
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.279
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
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
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
You wait for my next one coming soon.

235
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:00.720
Oh boy, can you talk about it?

236
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.200
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
Because that's my middle name.

239
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.000
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
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
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. So again it's just these little products that

298
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.159
come up with our you know, I teach every day

299
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.559
all day long, and so I'm always wondering, you know,

300
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.360
what can I do in the short term to inspire

301
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.200
some feeling for this person so that they've got something

302
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.600
to benchmark through their awareness for And thus, you know,

303
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.159
this new product is Sammy. And then I've got another

304
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.919
one come with Fred. I've got about three or four

305
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.639
things coming down the road here to add to the

306
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.559
touristri touristrik or product line.

307
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.759
You while you must be exhausted, your brain must hurt.

308
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.840
No again, they're all simple. There's they're really they're really

309
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:32.440
really simple stupid things that are you know that that

310
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.720
I'm glad to say to help people out. You know,

311
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.279
I've got I know this these sexy words. This one's

312
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:43.639
called the tour Striker Power Sleeve and it's another awareness device,

313
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.159
you know, for the left arm or right arm, depending

314
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.519
on what your issue is. And you know, it's just

315
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:53.679
a very simple little kind of tube deal that that

316
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.840
will help people understand, you know, what their left arm's doing.

317
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.399
You know, whether it's bending, whether it isn't, where it's bending,

318
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.759
where it isn't. And you know, so those products are

319
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.600
coming soon, so it'll be.

320
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.919
Fun and we can find them beyond just online or

321
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:08.879
be on.

322
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.279
Tours trigger dot com. 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

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
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
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
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
Of course you're right.

407
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:27.319
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
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
You don't look at the ball.

478
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.799
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
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
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
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
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
Right?

569
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.960
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
How did that happen?

572
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:00.839
Even? Think about it?

573
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:01.480
Right?

574
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.200
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
You know, I try not to ground my putter either.

589
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:51.079
Wow.

590
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.079
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
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
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
You know, and you're and you're fired, what do you do.

643
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.319
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
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
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
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
Pall, Yeah, I didn't ship it.

769
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:27.840
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
