And most people have a swing that doesn't perform under pressure. It's not as accurate, and it's a heck of a lot of effort without the accuracy and distance that you want, because it's more of a hit at the golf ball rather than a swing of the golf club. And the way that the golf swing should work and I'll go ahead and show you this here in a second.

 

But this U type motion where the button of this club is going to move in on U. And if I do this properly, the club really wants to take off as I turn back up on this U. It's what's called parametric acceleration. Or you can imagine as a speedboat with a skier behind it, they're both moving along at, let's say, 30 miles an hour.

 

And as that speedboat makes that turn, it slings a skier out. And the skier can almost go twice the speed that the speedboat is moving because of that acceleration around the corner. And that slingshot type effect. So what's happening here is on this U, if my club creates some lag and then I turn that corner, that allows the clubhead to this slingshot off there and go a heck of a lot faster.

 

It also allows the club to be a lot more accurate when you're doing that. So let me go ahead and just show you how this could work or how easy this looks. If you learn how to do it the right way, and then I'll work through an entire body workout to train you how to do this. All right, so let's swing really slow here.

 

I'm just going to let this club. I'm going to take advantage of that U type motion. And as my body turns that club back up, it's going to look incredibly slow and you're going to see a decent distance. Now we're going to start off a little quarter swings here with a seven iron, and we're going to see how this goes fairly far, even with what looks like a slow motion swing.

 

There you go. Nice and solid, 143 yards of the nice, tight draw. I felt like that was a chip shot, to be honest with you. I felt like it was very, very slow. Like I'm almost putting no energy into it at all. Now I'm going to take it back a little farther and I'm just going to pick it up maybe 10 or 15%.

 

And again, notice how slow and smooth this looks like. There's almost no amount of effort. I'm letting the club do a lot of this work for me by using the physics of this. Let me go and try another one here just a little faster. There you go. Same thing. Barely swung any harder. I'm up to 163. Not a terrible distance for a seven iron.

 

That is almost no energy. I could hit a 500 golf balls in a row and just not get tired. Using that tone of the technique, I'll add a little bit more force to adhere to get closer to a three quarter swing. Now start to apply a little bit of power there. Now it goes to 177. Again, a nice tight draw on each one of those.

 

And then if I really want to hammer on it, I can use that same type of pattern. But now put out a little bit more effort. I might make a little bigger swing. I'm going to make sure that this club really takes off. Like I'm gonna teach you here in a bit using this technique. So let's go ahead and go full swing here, full power.

 

And we can see even with that one 192 not incredibly fast jerky. I'm still getting a lot of speed. All those are nice tight draws. All them would be very close to the target pretty drag on happy with that with a normal seven. So how do we do this? Well, what's going on here? Like I talked about the speedboat is your club.

 

The swing is a U and the club should feel like a U. Now what's happening is the bottom of the U. So you imagine there's a U-shape here. The bottom of that is not when the club is straight up and down the bottom of the U, the club is still angled back like this. So this club is traveling in the downswing.

 

It hits the bottom of the U here. If you're looking at the the low point of my button of the club and there's that club starts to turn back up, that's what slings the club forward. So what most people think about has I think about this U type shape as a swing. So if I'm doing this with a golf swing, they think about if I'm looking at the buddy in the club, they they imagine the lowest point of the button in the club being right at the golf ball when it releases, then the club starts to come up like this.

 

In reality, the low point of the swing, the low point of the U are the button in the club is here. This club is lagging back. And then as I rotate open, that swings the club off again. I'm going to take it with two fingers here, barely make any kind of a movement at all. And you see, I'm swinging this club, you know, 30, 40 miles an hour.

 

It almost wants to flip around uncontrollably because I'm taking advantage of that little motion that will turning back up. So here's how you train it. All it is, is the right side of the you are going up his white shift to the right and then I shift my weight to the left as I'm going down the U and then I'm going to stand on through as I'm coming through.

 

That's what allows the club to whip on through. Start it with your feet. Just going to the right hand to the left. And I like to think of your arms, put your palms out like this and almost think about that swinging as my weight, shifting the left, and then I'm coming on through. So I'm just going right foot shifting the left, left foot.

 

So let's get this basic right left motion down. That's the key to me. I would feel like this is in some kind of synchronized motion. Now let's go up to the knees. You see, the key here is the knees are going to do the same thing. They still make this U type motion. So in the back swing, my legs turn and I'm kind of going up this side of the U.

 

Then I squat to get a little bit lower. That's when the club would be low. And then from there I'm going to some of these have some band here. At this point I come back up, my legs are extended. So when I finish my swing, my right leg is pretty extended, my left leg is dead straight. Practice say about ten or 15 times back swing.

 

So my knees are rotating. They're going this way down, swing a squat knee band and then I let my knees extend or I'm going to head and extending my pelvis in my body to let that club sling on through there. Same thing with the hips. A little back swing. I'm turning to the right down swing a lower my hips a little bit.

 

Not that much, but it's mostly from the leg band. Belt buckles and come down maybe an inch. And then from there I'm turning that corner back up that U and that allows my club to swing. So we've done weight shift right and left. We've added the knees, we've added the hips and now we're doing the same thing with the shoulders.

 

You see, the shoulders are just simply if you take your arms out to your sides, let those swing my shoulders and my lower body is going to feel like it's closer to the ground. So if you're standing up out of your posture, what you're doing is you have the bottom of your swing. You have the extension of this club as the bottom of that U instead of feeling like you should be

 

I'll show you here in a second. So if I'm doing it the wrong way, I stand up out of my posture in the downswing. I feel like my body goes away from it and I'm trying to throw that club to reach the bottom of the U. What I should be doing here is letting my chest and my body get closer to the golf ball.

 

I almost feel like if I had my shirt buttons working closer to the golf balls I start down. Then I'm in that position where I would have a bunch of lag, and then from there I'm going to turn on through and my short runs are going to be really high toward the target. So again, my chest, my shirt buttons are doing this, they're getting closer and then they're rotating all the way around.

 

Everything is this U type shape. It's a little bit of an angle here for looking from down the line, but it's still this U type shape. So get closer to the ball, then let it sling on through there. You see, if I don't get closer, if I'm too far away, I have to throw the club to the ball.

 

I have to throw the club down here if I'm closer to the ground, that's what allows me to sling the club through. So I'm getting my my hands and body lower and then is slinging on through there that's going to let everything take off. Finally, the hands again, if I sit them out from my body, there's my low point.

 

But that's when the clubs back here. Then everything slings see the my hands and arms turn back up to you because my knees are turning back up and extending my hips, my shoulders. Everything's coming back up and in my arms are just an extension of that. So at the bottom of that U my hands and arms are here and then look how they're going to move up and that club is going to sling as it's coming through.

 

So now that you can visualize it like this is to ten or 15 reps weight shift right and left at the knees at the hips at the shoulders, everything swinging through there. Then finally add the arms and that club is really, really going to take off. Let's give it one more try here. I'll put a little extra on it, get a little bit more loosened up after doing those drills.

 

Let's move on. Kick it up even farther. 192 is really hard to beat the seven iron, but I'll give it a whirl and I'll try to be pretty smooth as I'm doing it. Maybe not quite. I got 195 a little bit better, so a nice tight draw again. I'm letting this club get down here and it's swinging and taking off rather than me trying to manipulate it and got it.

 

One sure fire way to know if you're doing this right, if you feel like your hands are trying to hit or throw in the downswing, you're not letting the club do the work for you. You're not using this U to let it take off. Now one piece is really critical to making this happen. You see, if I start down with a steep golf shaft, it makes it very difficult to do this.

 

You see, when we talked about this U, everything is still happening on an angle here. So you can imagine like a giant plate of glass my club is swinging on and I've got to be on plane to make this happen and to take advantage of that club. Kind of turning back up to U and seeing me through there, you see, if I start down steep, I got a lot of problems.

 

If I keep going down steep, I'm going to bury that club in the ground, which means I can't do any of this stuff we just talked about. And most likely you'll end up standing up out of your posture to try to shallow this club out. You see, if I'm working my body down like we talked about in my club, it's too steep.

 

I have to do something to keep from digging this into the ground, and I'll tend to stand up out of my posture or stand up out of my posture and flip. And all of those things result in the bottom of the U being where your contact point is and you can't take advantage of any of this stuff we talked about.

 

Now, what solves this is shallowing out your club. If you're a member of Top Speed Golf, go ahead and click on the instruction tab. Click on the top speed golf system in the 20 minute shallowing fix course. Now, in that course, in a single session, I'm going to show you how to shallow out this club from the inside, get this on this plane.

 

That way you're able to take advantage of what we talked about here today. So if you're already shallow, just do what we talked about here today. You're going to be fantastic if you're not shallow yet or you're not sure if you're shallow yet. Head on to the 20 minute shallowing fix. Get that fixed first and then jump right back into this.

 

So this is tough for you to do right now. That's what's going on. Best of luck and I'll see you in the 20 minute shallowing fix.
