00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:12.919
also the editor of Golf Tips Magazine, ted Oto Rico.
3
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.079
Glad you could join us. As I mentioned in the
4
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.800
previous podcast, our first of the season, We're going to
5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.800
start things off with a couple of interviews that one
6
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.839
of our top twenty five instructors, Michael Wheeler, did while
7
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.079
visiting this past week's twenty twenty six PGA Merchandising show
8
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.560
down in Orlando, Florida. He did some great interviews. The
9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.640
first one, of course, was with doctor Scott Linn from
10
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.000
Swing Catalyst, and you can check that out. It's available
11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.640
not only on our YouTube channels, Golf Tips Magazine and
12
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.640
also the I Golf Sports Tube channel, but it's also
13
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.759
available at golf tipsmag dot com. And I've just uploaded
14
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.039
the audio version as well to speaker dot com and
15
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.359
it'll be available momentarily in some of the other audio
16
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.520
platforms as well where you can listen to podcasts. So
17
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.640
this is the new Golf podcast, and our second interview
18
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.599
is going to be with David Kuhn, who is representing
19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.239
leg Master. He's talking about that it's a new product
20
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.719
as well, and a number of other products that he's
21
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.719
going to be speaking to Michael about down at the show.
22
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.079
So we're going to head down there now and let's
23
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.519
hear what David and Michael have to chat about.
24
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.760
All right, guys, we're here at the twenty twenty six
25
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.120
PGA Show and we're here at the lag Master booth
26
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.680
with David Kuhn from Pennsylvania. Go ahead and introduce yourself, Dave.
27
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:34.840
Hey, Hey, I'm David Kuhn.
28
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.959
I'm the director of Instruction at the Kuhn Golf Academy
29
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.640
and also here for lag Master of Sports. I'm Golf
30
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.439
Digest Best in State instructor as well as a GRA
31
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.799
Top hundred growth of a game professional and was a
32
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.319
couple of years ago for all your junior golfers out there,
33
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:50.920
the national High School Golf Coach.
34
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.439
Of the Year. So he knows what he's doing, all right.
35
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:54.920
So how many PROCs do you have?
36
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:55.400
Okay?
37
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.840
So we have five main products and one that's a
38
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.719
pre order right now. This is our flag product, that's
39
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.760
the lag Master. So here it's attached to our mini club,
40
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.920
which has the swing weight of a world golf club.
41
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.680
When I first handed it to you.
42
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.000
You've noticed that right away the lag master can be
43
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.280
set to the angle of the backswing plane that you
44
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.319
want a student on, and this telescope's in and out.
45
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.520
So what we're looking for is we're looking.
46
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.960
For the feedback for our students who when they set
47
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.120
the club to the top, they either release early in
48
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.080
the casting motion or they disconnect their hands and arms.
49
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.199
Or if they just set their wristing completely or wrong
50
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.479
at the top anyway, yeah, if they're completely wrong at
51
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:34.840
the top.
52
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.919
So what it's going to teach us is how we're
53
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.080
going to set and then for about six eight inches,
54
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:41.919
we're going to come down the left arm parallel to
55
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.039
the ground and right there, as you can see, I've
56
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.719
maintained my lag angle okay, and I've maintained the lag
57
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.719
in my wrists, and then I can just release into impact.
58
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.960
We can also use it to maintain the extension of
59
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.080
our circle on the front side, okay, by getting our little.
60
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.560
Tip here back to our front shoulder.
61
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.719
So really great device, really good feedback, very quick.
62
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.520
A student can feel immediately.
63
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.919
How to set the club at the top, maintain their
64
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.479
angle so that they can maintain power and efficiency in
65
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.879
their swing, and then deliver it into the ball. You
66
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.960
can do it with or without the mini club. Mini
67
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.360
Club's perfect inside if you have small ceilings or you
68
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.159
just want to practice in an area where you're not going.
69
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.280
To be hitting things around you.
70
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:33.039
Also, we have our rock shots, and our rock shots
71
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.560
are great. The hot topic right now in golf Michaels
72
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:44.599
is ground forces, ground forces, ground forces, sagital playing frontal plane,
73
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.960
transverse plane right.
74
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.759
So with you just don't have to worry about that right.
75
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.560
With the rock shot.
76
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.759
These are the most versatile pressure plates for students and
77
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.159
teachers on the market. You can really do anything you
78
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.560
want to do with these in any configure. So if
79
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.199
I have a student who is moving to the outside,
80
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.000
I can put them on the flat spot and then they.
81
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.439
Can feel feedback of the rock.
82
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.599
If I want them to have a little bit of help,
83
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.840
I can move to the inside and pre rocket myself
84
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.920
and they can feel that load. This way, if they're
85
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.199
having trouble getting into their trail heel, I can put
86
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.720
it or down the line here and I can fill
87
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.639
that load into the heel. Okay, if I'm working on
88
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.279
the front side and I want to feel someone to
89
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.519
feel pressure into that front side. Because the three big
90
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.360
pressure promising golf or people get too much into their toes,
91
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.800
people don't get left soon enough onto their lead side,
92
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.720
or they get to their lead side and they back up.
93
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.279
So we can really use these in any configuration that
94
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.879
we want, Okay, on top and frontel plane. They're just
95
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.360
super versatile and it's as creative as the student and
96
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.439
the teacher wants to be in their problem solving to
97
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.079
help them with the issues they're having.
98
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.680
I like these too, if you for one second, if
99
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.519
I could like because they're sold in pairs right like
100
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.439
a typical pressure board would be. You know, it's not
101
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.560
exactly like this, but they're only on this plane, correct.
102
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.759
If you need to swork some ap or tow heel stuff,
103
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.800
you'd have to turn the board that it's kind of
104
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.759
in the way, yes, right, So these, you know, we
105
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.199
can work it here and if they sway, you'll feel it.
106
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.639
So the student is doing the work instead of the
107
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.480
teacher doing the work, right or the tool doing the work.
108
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.839
And for us having that versatility I think is.
109
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.519
Huge, right, And I think the thing here, you know,
110
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.399
Mike Dixon are our creator, owner and ventor and myself
111
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.920
the people that have helped to beta test these things.
112
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.920
We're instructors like you, and we're looking for solutions for
113
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.199
our players, you know, to help them get that body
114
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.439
mind connection of Okay, we know the movement we want,
115
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.439
but they need to understand what's the feeling that they're
116
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.399
trying to acquire, and that's what our products are all
117
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.639
designed to do. Our next product is the less not
118
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.240
your typical impact bag. As you can see, the bag
119
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.439
is on a forward shaft, lean angle, okay, unlike a
120
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.800
traditional round bag. And we also have an impact bag.
121
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.160
So this side is for as seven iron and what
122
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.079
it's going to allow us to do. It's going to
123
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.759
allow us to come into impact. You can see how
124
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.639
the impact pad is angled to collect the club face
125
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.040
and get me in a proper impact position. So really
126
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:32.079
good at training the alignments of an effective impact. Also,
127
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.600
we have a putting and chipping side, so if we
128
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.759
want to work on we can we can move the
129
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.360
pad around, we can take it, put it right here,
130
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.680
And if we want to work on a more neutral
131
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.920
shaft for maybe to add a little bit more loft.
132
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.439
To a shot, we can get here.
133
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.399
Yep, wen we're putting, we can get here and you
134
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.759
can see I'm a little bit more neutral I'm keeping
135
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.600
some more loft on the club, but also with a driver,
136
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.720
we can turn it this way and as you can see,
137
00:06:59.199 --> 00:06:59.839
there is.
138
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.279
A little golf ball down Yeah, there's a little golf
139
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.560
ball down there. And this is going to get our angle.
140
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.079
Of attack a little bit up, okay, because you can
141
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.720
see it's slightly back a little bit. So when we're
142
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.240
trying to help people get more launch, hey, with.
143
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.480
A driver, that's effective.
144
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.879
And then last but not least, people who need to
145
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.439
learn how to use an effective pivot.
146
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.319
We have the lag loop. So the lag loop hooks in.
147
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.160
I just get the bag in position, and then I
148
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.040
can feel how my pivot is doing the work to
149
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.600
pull the weight to the bag into impact, so I
150
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.120
can start to engage my core.
151
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.240
I can fill the ground forces that I worked on
152
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:36.519
with my rock shots. Yep.
153
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.759
Then I start to feel how the body is impacting things.
154
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.519
So I like that because.
155
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.199
Even if you're trying to let's say, you need to
156
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.279
shorten that the hand path on the on the other side.
157
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.279
Thank you, Sarah, appreciate it.
158
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.439
I'm not getting any younger, so you know, even if
159
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.240
you know you're trying to instead of along gain that
160
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.519
hand path like this, right and getting the hands really
161
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.759
put the boat. People need to get that feel right,
162
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.920
but like especially a driver and get them to work.
163
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:03.319
Yeah, that way.
164
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:03.600
Yep.
165
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.079
You know, there's not many products I don't think they
166
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.959
can do that, No, and not not efficiently and all
167
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:09.560
in one.
168
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.439
Right, And that's and that's the thing, right, the thing
169
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.519
we're trying to do as instructors has come up with
170
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.240
stuff that is versatile that can be used in a
171
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:18.439
lot of different ways.
172
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.279
To help us to help our students.
173
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.720
If someone already has a lag bag, we're doing a
174
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.360
pre order. This is our lag strap and as you
175
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.480
can see, it just hooks around a traditional bag. Clearly
176
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.879
doesn't have the features of our other of our other bag,
177
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.600
but it just comes right around. I'm gonna pull it
178
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:41.679
up onto the bag velcro enclosure, I'm gonna tighten it up,
179
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.720
and then it gives me the benefit on a round bag,
180
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.279
where I don't usually.
181
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.639
Get that feedback. I have the ability of a hit.
182
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.720
I have a visual toy hit, I have the feeling
183
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:58.440
of where it should be. So while it's not as
184
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.519
all inclusive as lag bag, it does that a little
185
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.399
bit of help for someone that already has a bag
186
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:05.879
and wants a little bit lower.
187
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:12.279
Of a price plant. And then our last product is
188
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.759
the pop up plane.
189
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.840
The beauty of the pop up plane is the pop
190
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.080
up plane literally folds up. It's about this big and
191
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.159
you'd literally pull it out of your car, take it
192
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.639
to the course wherever you want. We can set it
193
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.840
for driver, iron, wedge, or putter. We have three adjustable
194
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.440
plane angles. And so this is just really helping you, Michael,
195
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.279
to get students to understand the movement of the club
196
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.200
and the shaft in space and time in three dimensions.
197
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.200
So we're basically just getting them to feel and with
198
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.000
or without a lag master on the club yep, how
199
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.960
the club is moving in space and time.
200
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.600
To give some constraints right, the.
201
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.240
Idea of where the club should go, so they get
202
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:52.240
an idea of what they need.
203
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.200
To do to get it there, right, little constraint training,
204
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.679
and it's adjustable. The rods full down. Everything folds up
205
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.200
really quickly. It's probably less than a minute.
206
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:01.679
Cool.
207
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.840
Honestly, this just all k like a kind of like
208
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.399
a pop up tent, same idea, and it's really.
209
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.480
Effective to just get that students.
210
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.320
That feel, and then you know, we really don't hit
211
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.159
a lot of balls with it.
212
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.159
I guess you could, but really you get.
213
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.759
The field, come over back over to the other side
214
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.679
of the range, and then let's work on what we're doing.
215
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.720
So those are our main products, all designed to help
216
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.200
golfers play better golf and teachers be more effective in
217
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:25.720
their jobs.
218
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.519
Perfect, well, David, thank you for good time. All right.
219
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.440
As always, that's fun. It's a pleasure to watching this video,
220
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.639
and we'll see you at the next product.
221
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.720
All right, another great interview with Michael Wheeler interviewing David
222
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.039
Koon As I mentioned talking about leg Master and some
223
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.000
other great products. You'll see all of that in the
224
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.399

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.600
some interviews interviews that we're done at the PG Show
238
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.279
that Michael did as one of our top twenty five instructors,
239
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.159
and we wanted to relay that because a lot of
240
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.799
people don't always know what goes on down the Merchandising
241
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.879
show in Orlando, and I unfortunately wasn't able to make
242
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.440
it this season, but Michael very graciously said he'd be
243
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.360
happy to do some interviews, so check that out again.
244
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:40.440
It'll be released shortly. The videos are currently available as
245
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.240

previous podcast, our first of the season, We're going to
5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.800
start things off with a couple of interviews that one
6
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.839
of our top twenty five instructors, Michael Wheeler, did while
7
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.079
visiting this past week's twenty twenty six PGA Merchandising show
8
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.560
down in Orlando, Florida. He did some great interviews. The
9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.640
first one, of course, was with doctor Scott Linn from
10
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.000
Swing Catalyst, and you can check that out. It's available
11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.640
not only on our YouTube channels, Golf Tips Magazine and
12
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.640
also the I Golf Sports Tube channel, but it's also
13
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.759
available at golf tipsmag dot com. And I've just uploaded
14
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.039
the audio version as well to speaker dot com and
15
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.359
it'll be available momentarily in some of the other audio
16
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.520
platforms as well where you can listen to podcasts. So
17
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.640
this is the new Golf podcast, and our second interview
18
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.599
is going to be with David Kuhn, who is representing
19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.239
leg Master. He's talking about that it's a new product
20
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.719
as well, and a number of other products that he's
21
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.719
going to be speaking to Michael about down at the show.
22
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.079
So we're going to head down there now and let's
23
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.519
hear what David and Michael have to chat about.
24
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.760
All right, guys, we're here at the twenty twenty six
25
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.120
PGA Show and we're here at the lag Master booth
26
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.680
with David Kuhn from Pennsylvania. Go ahead and introduce yourself, Dave.
27
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:34.840
Hey, Hey, I'm David Kuhn.
28
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.959
I'm the director of Instruction at the Kuhn Golf Academy
29
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.640
and also here for lag Master of Sports. I'm Golf
30
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.439
Digest Best in State instructor as well as a GRA
31
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.799
Top hundred growth of a game professional and was a
32
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.319
couple of years ago for all your junior golfers out there,
33
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:50.920
the national High School Golf Coach.
34
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.439
Of the Year. So he knows what he's doing, all right.
35
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:54.920
So how many PROCs do you have?
36
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:55.400
Okay?
37
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.840
So we have five main products and one that's a
38
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.719
pre order right now. This is our flag product, that's
39
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.760
the lag Master. So here it's attached to our mini club,
40
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.920
which has the swing weight of a world golf club.
41
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.680
When I first handed it to you.
42
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.000
You've noticed that right away the lag master can be
43
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.280
set to the angle of the backswing plane that you
44
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.319
want a student on, and this telescope's in and out.
45
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.520
So what we're looking for is we're looking.
46
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.960
For the feedback for our students who when they set
47
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.120
the club to the top, they either release early in
48
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.080
the casting motion or they disconnect their hands and arms.
49
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.199
Or if they just set their wristing completely or wrong
50
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.479
at the top anyway, yeah, if they're completely wrong at
51
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:34.840
the top.
52
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.919
So what it's going to teach us is how we're
53
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.080
going to set and then for about six eight inches,
54
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:41.919
we're going to come down the left arm parallel to
55
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.039
the ground and right there, as you can see, I've
56
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.719
maintained my lag angle okay, and I've maintained the lag
57
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.719
in my wrists, and then I can just release into impact.
58
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.960
We can also use it to maintain the extension of
59
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.080
our circle on the front side, okay, by getting our little.
60
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.560
Tip here back to our front shoulder.
61
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.719
So really great device, really good feedback, very quick.
62
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.520
A student can feel immediately.
63
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.919
How to set the club at the top, maintain their
64
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.479
angle so that they can maintain power and efficiency in
65
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.879
their swing, and then deliver it into the ball. You
66
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.960
can do it with or without the mini club. Mini
67
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.360
Club's perfect inside if you have small ceilings or you
68
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.159
just want to practice in an area where you're not going.
69
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.280
To be hitting things around you.
70
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:33.039
Also, we have our rock shots, and our rock shots
71
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.560
are great. The hot topic right now in golf Michaels
72
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:44.599
is ground forces, ground forces, ground forces, sagital playing frontal plane,
73
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.960
transverse plane right.
74
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.759
So with you just don't have to worry about that right.
75
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.560
With the rock shot.
76
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.759
These are the most versatile pressure plates for students and
77
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.159
teachers on the market. You can really do anything you
78
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.560
want to do with these in any configure. So if
79
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.199
I have a student who is moving to the outside,
80
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.000
I can put them on the flat spot and then they.
81
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.439
Can feel feedback of the rock.
82
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.599
If I want them to have a little bit of help,
83
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.840
I can move to the inside and pre rocket myself
84
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.920
and they can feel that load. This way, if they're
85
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.199
having trouble getting into their trail heel, I can put
86
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.720
it or down the line here and I can fill
87
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.639
that load into the heel. Okay, if I'm working on
88
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.279
the front side and I want to feel someone to
89
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.519
feel pressure into that front side. Because the three big
90
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.360
pressure promising golf or people get too much into their toes,
91
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.800
people don't get left soon enough onto their lead side,
92
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.720
or they get to their lead side and they back up.
93
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.279
So we can really use these in any configuration that
94
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.879
we want, Okay, on top and frontel plane. They're just
95
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.360
super versatile and it's as creative as the student and
96
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.439
the teacher wants to be in their problem solving to
97
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.079
help them with the issues they're having.
98
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.680
I like these too, if you for one second, if
99
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.519
I could like because they're sold in pairs right like
100
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.439
a typical pressure board would be. You know, it's not
101
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.560
exactly like this, but they're only on this plane, correct.
102
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.759
If you need to swork some ap or tow heel stuff,
103
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.800
you'd have to turn the board that it's kind of
104
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.759
in the way, yes, right, So these, you know, we
105
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.199
can work it here and if they sway, you'll feel it.
106
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.639
So the student is doing the work instead of the
107
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.480
teacher doing the work, right or the tool doing the work.
108
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.839
And for us having that versatility I think is.
109
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.519
Huge, right, And I think the thing here, you know,
110
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.399
Mike Dixon are our creator, owner and ventor and myself
111
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.920
the people that have helped to beta test these things.
112
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.920
We're instructors like you, and we're looking for solutions for
113
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.199
our players, you know, to help them get that body
114
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.439
mind connection of Okay, we know the movement we want,
115
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.439
but they need to understand what's the feeling that they're
116
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.399
trying to acquire, and that's what our products are all
117
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.639
designed to do. Our next product is the less not
118
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.240
your typical impact bag. As you can see, the bag
119
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.439
is on a forward shaft, lean angle, okay, unlike a
120
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.800
traditional round bag. And we also have an impact bag.
121
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.160
So this side is for as seven iron and what
122
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.079
it's going to allow us to do. It's going to
123
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.759
allow us to come into impact. You can see how
124
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.639
the impact pad is angled to collect the club face
125
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.040
and get me in a proper impact position. So really
126
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:32.079
good at training the alignments of an effective impact. Also,
127
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.600
we have a putting and chipping side, so if we
128
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.759
want to work on we can we can move the
129
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.360
pad around, we can take it, put it right here,
130
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.680
And if we want to work on a more neutral
131
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.920
shaft for maybe to add a little bit more loft.
132
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.439
To a shot, we can get here.
133
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.399
Yep, wen we're putting, we can get here and you
134
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.759
can see I'm a little bit more neutral I'm keeping
135
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.600
some more loft on the club, but also with a driver,
136
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.720
we can turn it this way and as you can see,
137
00:06:59.199 --> 00:06:59.839
there is.
138
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.279
A little golf ball down Yeah, there's a little golf
139
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.560
ball down there. And this is going to get our angle.
140
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.079
Of attack a little bit up, okay, because you can
141
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.720
see it's slightly back a little bit. So when we're
142
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.240
trying to help people get more launch, hey, with.
143
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.480
A driver, that's effective.
144
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.879
And then last but not least, people who need to
145
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.439
learn how to use an effective pivot.
146
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.319
We have the lag loop. So the lag loop hooks in.
147
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.160
I just get the bag in position, and then I
148
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.040
can feel how my pivot is doing the work to
149
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.600
pull the weight to the bag into impact, so I
150
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.120
can start to engage my core.
151
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.240
I can fill the ground forces that I worked on
152
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:36.519
with my rock shots. Yep.
153
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.759
Then I start to feel how the body is impacting things.
154
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.519
So I like that because.
155
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.199
Even if you're trying to let's say, you need to
156
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.279
shorten that the hand path on the on the other side.
157
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.279
Thank you, Sarah, appreciate it.
158
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.439
I'm not getting any younger, so you know, even if
159
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.240
you know you're trying to instead of along gain that
160
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.519
hand path like this, right and getting the hands really
161
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.759
put the boat. People need to get that feel right,
162
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.920
but like especially a driver and get them to work.
163
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:03.319
Yeah, that way.
164
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:03.600
Yep.
165
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.079
You know, there's not many products I don't think they
166
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.959
can do that, No, and not not efficiently and all
167
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:09.560
in one.
168
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.439
Right, And that's and that's the thing, right, the thing
169
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.519
we're trying to do as instructors has come up with
170
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.240
stuff that is versatile that can be used in a
171
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:18.439
lot of different ways.
172
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.279
To help us to help our students.
173
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.720
If someone already has a lag bag, we're doing a
174
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.360
pre order. This is our lag strap and as you
175
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.480
can see, it just hooks around a traditional bag. Clearly
176
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.879
doesn't have the features of our other of our other bag,
177
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.600
but it just comes right around. I'm gonna pull it
178
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:41.679
up onto the bag velcro enclosure, I'm gonna tighten it up,
179
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.720
and then it gives me the benefit on a round bag,
180
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.279
where I don't usually.
181
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.639
Get that feedback. I have the ability of a hit.
182
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.720
I have a visual toy hit, I have the feeling
183
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:58.440
of where it should be. So while it's not as
184
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.519
all inclusive as lag bag, it does that a little
185
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.399
bit of help for someone that already has a bag
186
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:05.879
and wants a little bit lower.
187
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:12.279
Of a price plant. And then our last product is
188
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.759
the pop up plane.
189
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.840
The beauty of the pop up plane is the pop
190
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.080
up plane literally folds up. It's about this big and
191
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.159
you'd literally pull it out of your car, take it
192
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.639
to the course wherever you want. We can set it
193
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.840
for driver, iron, wedge, or putter. We have three adjustable
194
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.440
plane angles. And so this is just really helping you, Michael,
195
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.279
to get students to understand the movement of the club
196
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.200
and the shaft in space and time in three dimensions.
197
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.200
So we're basically just getting them to feel and with
198
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.000
or without a lag master on the club yep, how
199
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.960
the club is moving in space and time.
200
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.600
To give some constraints right, the.
201
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.240
Idea of where the club should go, so they get
202
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:52.240
an idea of what they need.
203
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.200
To do to get it there, right, little constraint training,
204
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.679
and it's adjustable. The rods full down. Everything folds up
205
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.200
really quickly. It's probably less than a minute.
206
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:01.679
Cool.
207
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.840
Honestly, this just all k like a kind of like
208
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.399
a pop up tent, same idea, and it's really.
209
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.480
Effective to just get that students.
210
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.320
That feel, and then you know, we really don't hit
211
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.159
a lot of balls with it.
212
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.159
I guess you could, but really you get.
213
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.759
The field, come over back over to the other side
214
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.679
of the range, and then let's work on what we're doing.
215
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.720
So those are our main products, all designed to help
216
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.200
golfers play better golf and teachers be more effective in
217
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:25.720
their jobs.
218
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.519
Perfect, well, David, thank you for good time. All right.
219
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.440
As always, that's fun. It's a pleasure to watching this video,
220
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.639
and we'll see you at the next product.
221
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.720
All right, another great interview with Michael Wheeler interviewing David
222
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.039
Koon As I mentioned talking about leg Master and some
223
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.000
other great products. You'll see all of that in the
224
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.399
videos that are going to be posted up or have
225
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.000
been posted rather up on our YouTube channels, Golf Tips
226
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.440
Magazine and also The Eye Golf Sports a YouTube channel
227
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.519
as well, and you can also find the video version
228
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.279
is available currently on golf tipsmag dot com. But for
229
00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.600
those of you that are here to listen to the
230
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.519
audio version, I'll be making that available here shortly on
231
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.200
speaker dot com. But you can check out the one
232
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.559
from Swing Catalyst that was posted, and they'll be more
233
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.200
coming as Michael gets them the finishing edits done. We'll
234
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.159
be posting those up on the channels as well. But
235
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.559
as I said, we're really really excited to launch this
236
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.600
Golf Tips podcast again. Right now, we're going to do
237
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.600
some interviews interviews that we're done at the PG Show
238
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.279
that Michael did as one of our top twenty five instructors,
239
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.159
and we wanted to relay that because a lot of
240
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.799
people don't always know what goes on down the Merchandising
241
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.879
show in Orlando, and I unfortunately wasn't able to make
242
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.440
it this season, but Michael very graciously said he'd be
243
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.360
