00:00uh there's there's also uh you know your your ability to hit the ball far you know i'll go and
00:04look at the stats and i see that you're 126 club head speed and i always wonder with guys who
00:09hit
00:09the ball far are you thinking about when you're over the ball swinging as hard as you can are you
00:14actually thinking like i'm thinking about uh having good tempo and swinging this at like 85
00:20percent like is it is it is it so natural that you're just thinking good tempo or are you over
00:25the golf like i'm going to rip every single drive that i'm standing over always wondering long drive
00:29guys like yourself which i'm not continuing to be like a long drive specialist more so that you just
00:34hit the ball very far and it looks very easy uh what are you thinking over the ball with the
00:38driver
00:39um i mean i'm definitely swinging hard like okay all right that makes me feel better i'm like because
00:45it's hard to swing 126 miles an hour and yeah not thinking about swinging it hard now like i feel
00:51like i'm swinging it fast for me i i get very long like my swing gets long um and that's
00:56something i
00:57feel like i'm constantly fighting um and when i get the club shorter and it's not ridiculously long
01:04then i feel like i actually can hit it harder like that because it's not your arms are in the
01:09right
01:09place exactly like it's you know the club's not going to be way it's not going to be late because
01:15i
01:15have so much catch up to do on the way down and so when i feel like the club is
01:19a little shorter then
01:20i just feel like all right like i can turn hard and try to rip it because my hands are
01:26more in front
01:26of me in a better spot the club's not quite as across the line when i as when i get
01:30super long
01:32um and i would say i'm swinging it i don't it's hard to quantify 90 maybe you know like it's
01:39not
01:40like it's an all-out yeah swinging as hard as possible but like it also doesn't feel like it's a
01:4550 swing you know like i'm trying to hit the golf ball hard um and i think i've just done
01:51it for so
01:51long that that's like a pretty somewhat controllable um you know feel for me um but
02:01yeah i mean when i'm over the ball i i just try to hit the ball like hard and somewhere
02:06down there
02:07and what have you learned yeah what have you learned about your golf swing and and how uh just how
02:13your
02:13body mechanics how you're able to hit the ball so far i've seen you go to uh my tpi and
02:19i've seen
02:19this the really some of the data that they've pushed out talking about your 120 degree uh shoulder turn
02:25tons of mobility like what have you learned about like what's in your swing dna that you're able to
02:31kind of take with you out on the pga tour when you get a little bit off or like what
02:35your tendencies
02:35would be to where you can kind of get back on track yeah great question um i've worked with the
02:41same golf coach since i was 12 or 13 um and i've had the same trainer back home since i
02:46was
02:4715 or 16 so like you know my core swing team has remained the same for the last eight years
02:55and i
02:56think that that is really helpful in finding those tendencies um because if you were to switch to
03:02someone else you know it's maybe they could give you some good advice but there's there is a time
03:07aspect to your your relationship with a golf coach um and because they are going to be able to see
03:14your swing over you know many different years and see how things change when you're playing good what
03:20it looks like when you're not playing good what it looks like and for me like again like a long
03:26long
03:27backswing is a something that we keep harping on and i think it's i do have good mobility in my
03:33my trunk and i'm able to you know create a huge shoulder shoulder turn um and i think that's great
03:42you know and hopefully that i'm able to kind of dial that in a little bit to where it's not
03:47out of
03:47control um but there are some other things in my body like my right hip internal rotation is something
03:54that when i play a lot of tournaments in a row or i don't really prioritize it in my you
04:00know mobility
04:00and recovery sessions then that gets a little limited and i i have trouble getting off my right
04:05side um and you know kind of stuff like that that it's really the same stuff i'm sure you understand
04:14like it's the same this is all the same i'm the same way because i'm also have huge turn and
04:20if
04:20anything my i i get toward my right hip uh almost like it's a fake turn on the way back
04:25and what it
04:27ends up causing me to do it it gets it gets me to stall a little bit my arms get
04:30a little bit too
04:31far behind because uh if anything my my shoulder turn my arms just keep going there's no stop because
04:36there's no uh the hips aren't working the proper way on the way back and so when you're talking about
04:41getting off your right side it's like well i'm i'm just hanging on that right side the whole time
04:45because we're basically not creating any dip uh depth in the hip so it all of that makes uh perfect
04:50sense and finding those tendencies and not chasing your tail right it's so easy when you're playing
04:55every single day uh out on the pga tour with practice playing and in weeks on weeks in a row
05:01in new places it's a lot for your brain to try to digest and days are long and it's hot
05:06some days and
05:07so it's nice that you have a team around you that are able to to keep you uh within the
05:12bumpers if you
05:13will yeah exactly i mean you're just you've got guard rails and hopefully you don't go too far
05:17you know outside of them um and just realizing like everyone can hit the ball everyone's
05:23you know a good good golfer out there but it's like as long as you can just stay consistent
05:29week in week out i feel like you're gonna be you know in a better spot than you know maybe
05:35someone
05:36who's kind of chasing things
05:37you
