00:00I have – Charlie is going to pull up a video of what you and Jeff had worked on.

00:11This is with Sportsbox AI.

00:15So I am so interested in this type of technology because you're able to take a video and

00:20then really work on some of the things that you can measure, which a lot of times in videos,

00:26you're just guessing.

00:27But it's cool to have this type of info.

00:29What exactly, looking at this face on, are you two trying to accomplish?

00:32This is on the Rage at St. Jude.

00:35You can see chest sway and pelvis sway.

00:39So that's basically how much your body is moving, essentially moving towards the target.

00:45So obviously we're looking face on, but if you imagined it down the line, how much essentially

00:51a horizontal shift my hips and upper body have towards the target.

00:56So I used to basically take my upper body and shift it really hard towards the target

01:01and basically get down and left, if you can picture that.

01:05And so we're trying to get my lower body to move a little more towards the target.

01:10Basically my upper body to stay a little bit more back because I'm left-handed.

01:15And so as a righty, when I pull this way left, I need to back up late because I'm so far

01:20essentially ahead of the ball.

01:22So if I can just stay a little bit more behind it a little longer, I don't have to back up

01:28late and then kind of throw my hands at it as much.

01:31I can stay more behind it and throw my hands at it and kind of hit that little pull fade.

01:36So we've been working on that for a while.

01:39And we've actually talked about this for two years, but we've just been trying to figure

01:43out what's the right way to go about it because we've tried a few different things and it

01:48just hasn't, it hasn't felt good.

01:49I wasn't hitting it good.

01:51I didn't feel confident in what I was working on.

01:53And so we've, we're focusing on kind of that left shoulder, left shoulder kind of moving

01:58up as I, as I rotate.

02:00So that kind of, if I keep my left shoulder this way, you can see how I tilt back.

02:05So keep my left shoulder a little bit more up was kind of the feeling that we went with

02:09versus a couple other things we tried.

02:11And so it's been a huge, huge difference for me in my swing.

02:16Cause we always felt like there's just maybe some small missing piece that we weren't sure

02:19about.

02:20And I think, I think we found it and I've hit it, hit it pretty well, much better since

02:24then obviously been putting it great.

02:27But this sports box has been kind of huge for us because you can measure instead of

02:31just guess.

02:32And he said, he's, you've been able to line up the shaft better to impact.

02:35It's a little less draggy and it's opened up a lot of speed for you.

02:40Like you're, you're, instead of like a little launching, you're now like winding up the

02:43shaft, you're hitting it a little higher and you're finding the middle of the face.

02:47Yeah.

02:48I used to, I used to hit it off the toe because if you kind of pull this way left and you're,

02:53you can't release the club and line it up.

02:55So I'm dragging the handle, which causes you to hit it off the toe.

02:58And so I've been able to hit it higher.

03:00I've picked up a little bit more speed.

03:02I've had speed and then I lost it and I picked it back up.

03:04So this was probably the leak.

03:06And so I've been able to hit it a lot higher.

03:08I talk with him a lot about on tour.

03:10What shots do you need on tour and you'd be able to launch the ball high with your irons

03:14and stop it quickly because the greens are very firm.

03:19You don't need that.

03:20The greens are soft.

03:21We're playing in the Midwest.

03:22It rains a lot.

03:23And so you don't necessarily need that shot, but you do definitely need to hit it high

03:27with your irons on tour.

03:29So we asked ourselves, how can we do that?

03:31And this has been one of the ways, man, it's, it's frustrating hearing that your, what's

03:36your swing thought is out of the top.

03:38If I tried what you just said, oh my gosh, I, it's a scary, it's a scary thought for

03:45me.

03:46It's scary.

03:47It's scary.

03:48Like trying to like stay back.

03:49Like I, I think most, uh, most golf, right-handed golfers, or at least guys that have a lot

03:54of speed, if anything, they get too much right side men early out of the top and they get

03:59too underneath, which is, it's really, it's, it's a game of opposites for you.

04:03It, it's a good problem to have.

04:04A lot of people don't get to have those feelings of being able to stay, you know, kind of underneath

04:09it a bit.

04:11And you can kind of, you can see the way that I use the ground and like the power and that's

04:14something that I've worked on with Jeff since, since day one, we, we always were thinking

04:19about from the ground up and we were thinking about how can we hit it straight, but how

04:23can we hit it far?

04:24And that's something he's always talked about since, since the first lesson that I had with

04:28him and my, I mean, it's been 10 years, almost, I've been working with him since 2015, probably

04:362015.

04:37So we're talking 10, it's been 10 years in the making, so it's, it's just been cool to

04:42see what, where we've, where we've, where we've been and where we are now, because we've,

04:48we've been the lowest of lows and, you know, almost the highs of highs with a win.

04:52So we'll get a win soon, but it's just been a crazy journey, you know?
