We'll smile. We got some more cool imagery because earlier this week we had a chance to put Wyndham Clark, Max Homa, Minwoo Lee and World Long Drive Champion Kyle Berkshire inside the 40 volumetric setup invented by Radiant Images, which used 56 cameras to create these videos and drop the players on the 16th hole here at Aronimink. So here we go. There's a look at men we right here. Gosh, it's such a cool movie. This is pretty sweet. So it drops him in on the 16th hole. Yeah. So I, I, I saw some of these behind the scenes videos where they, they they have these cameras surrounding them taking look at how do you see kind of the sensors there? It's insane. And the tech, the tech blows my mind, honestly. You know, with Kyle Berkshire, it's it's wild to watch how much he likes her he creates and how much he pushes off the ground and all these guys are they're chasing what they're. DNA is and if they can make incremental changes and how far they hit the golf ball, they want to try to do that in the gym. One of the cool things we have access to is radiant images. And so earlier in the week we have a little something with minimum Lee films here using I believe it's 56 different cameras and then taking him placing him out on that 16th T the the par 5 here in Iran to make let's take a look at this right here. I mean this is this is a look at this look at this action slow. The thing at low about this is. In in the world of golf swing instruction and and and viewing, it's like either have down the line or you have face on. You can pause it here. You can see every single position that men who's in from a number of different angles. I love that position right there. You can see the back of his left glove, you know, flex at impact and what I love about his golf swing as well. He has great width in his swing and it's a little bit laid off at the top. But what he does not do from that position is try to get it back out in front of him. He continues to let it. Gather in the downswing as he gets to his front foot and rotates to his left. So here's another great angle. Yeah, that first watch what it does here. So he's gonna bump into his left side OK as he continues to rotate. But that club, there's so much width. Look at those arms like with with that right arm particular right. And then there's no pulling. It's just those arms are just they're getting down to the golf ball due to the body rotation and he's keeping that with maintaining it and that's why he hits it so hard. And is it I'm I'm trying to do my best to learn from this week. Is that hand position at the top pretty neutral? Not a ton of bowl, not too cup. He he's more he's definitely not on the cup side. He would be much more on the on the boat flex side, but he does that a little bit at the top and and in transition and and a lot of times when guys are are big shallowing components, you know, guys are really hit it far. They're not widening their right arm quite as much to me, you know, like his his right arm, he's going to try to rotate a ton with his right shoulder through the ball. Sam Stevens is a good example. Christopher ratings another good example of that. But it's, you know, he's got that right. That right wrist is in extension. And then it's just tons of rotation strong lower half too, just insanely strong. What a cool look of this via the radiant images of you with 56 different cameras and men will leave swing. So let's get back to the range here, Smiley. And and while we do that, just taking a look at today's scoreboard. And as we mentioned, Kurt Kiyama posted that. So today we're going to do Minwoo Lee and we have kind of a special look at it for everyone watching at home. We have a radiant images view which provides you with the 4D. Aspect of a of the swing. So I'm just going to roll through it quickly just so everyone can get this experience at home. And you can see here that what's really cool about this is there is a ton of iPhone cameras in a big circle around Minwoo, and it just shifts from moment to moment to moment to moment throughout his swing. And it gives everybody a really good idea of really what to look for, I think. And different options, different angles, you're able to see, you know, impact right there, obviously. And then it swoops through the finish. And then. Yeah. And when you Lee, he's leading or near the top of the leaderboard today and out on the T-Mobile range. And excited to see how he plays, but he's one of the best ball strikers out here. They're they often say that, you know, go out and let let him cook, right? It's kind of his is, is his saying, right? He's the chef. And the part of that is because he's a great ball striker. So 7 tide for the lead after round one with scores of 67. And men was one of those guys. And let me just say I love that with he gets with the left arm. That's something I really want in my own golf game. That's amazing. It's pretty much straight. Yeah, we'll go. Right into it here on the Telus Trader. So first I want to just show from down the line. This is a nice angle here. Yesterday we talked about Alex how Scottie Scheffler had. Full swing, full turn here, full turn here. Those are markers for a full turn. But what I want to do is we'll get this nice radiant images view from the top too. And you talked about that with. It's a great, great example of that, right? We'll do a circle here, show his head moving. But you can see here too how far back his arms are from his body. Really good example of generating power. And for those at home, sometimes you're a little bit too tight to your body. Your arms aren't as are far away. So the more width you can generate and the more you can get your arms kind of higher up like men who has is a great, great way to get a little bit more power. So I don't think I realized how much I liked his golf swing. I love seeing it kind of in this slow motion for me. And another part that I want to show here is as we kind of move on our way down into the downswing. Well, first let's do this view here because I think this is another great view of the width that he generates on the on the back swing. And what I also want to focus on ball strikers that are good ball strikers stay centered over the ball. They're chest stays centered over the ball. Their head kind of stays centered over the ball. So I'll show that here. You can see that his chest is right below where the ball is, right? So he's. Covering the ball, that's kind of a good focus point for those at home. If you're struggling with inconsistent contact, you want to make sure that your chest when you come through is covering the golf balls that you're compressing the ball and not trying to help come up out of it and help it out. So, but as we kind of go, this is I think the coolest part here of this radiant images 4D is bam right here at impact. So we have impact here, hands here. That's those are good markers for square contact. And I'm going to go a little bit further into this. This is even better. So this is one thing when I was watching this rating images 4D you have here, it was a bit oops, sorry about that. Still learning the telestrator highlight, highlight, highlight. This is all markers for square contact. That back of his glove. That's often something that a lot of PGA coaches teach you on the back of your glove to be kind of almost covering the golf ball, right. If it's kind of open or closed, a lot of people you see the that man was wearing a watch. Sometimes the watch face is a good. Example getting that watch face to kind of cover the ball and then that will help with square contact. But I like you like you can see here that everything is unwinding a little bit and he's matched up perfectly for a good flush, which is kind of his specialty ball striking so. And I loved that force he puts into the ground with the left foot when he's going into impact. That's amazing. Yeah, Yeah, we can highlight that too, where you see that left foot there. All of his weight from that turn that he made, we saw up at the top of his backswing and he had that width and that turn. All of that is going into that left foot more so like the left heel probably to kind of clear out. That's a that's another good indicator if you made a nice turn and now you're clearing out to make sure you use all that power you generated give the explosive, I'm sure. Looked right, that's the that's the chef here. He wants to cook and the ball striking is one of the species. So excited to see how he interacts. Champion to the Gulf of yesterday and there were some fans out there. So what do we have here? That's right. Yeah. So I think they know his name now. Yeah, Yeah. Hopefully great example of of the technology available here at the PGA Championship. And I want to pause it right there. Let's just admire that backswing for 2nd Alex and like how I want to tell everyone at home, this is not possible for most people, right? So there's no need to really strive to get that arm so straight in that far. Kyle is an exceptional athlete. We were out watching him when he was doing this reading images shoot. And it's just it was so fun to watch because it's just there's not a lot of swings like it, right? So you just have to kind of give it, give it some respect and admire it. But I think one thing that you still see here, we've talked about this with. Patty, we talked about it with minimally yesterday, the markers for a good full turn. Knee. Shoulder chin underneath the shoulder and then back facing the target and that pant leg crease a little bit, right? And Kyle obviously is making a massive turn and it's it's, it's, it's there's really no need for everybody to get their arm that straight and that far back. All you need to do is you can see in that top circle his back is facing the target. That's all you really need, right? That's all you really need to make sure that you're coiling back and getting that full turn. So as we go down here. And you see, you're going to see all this. This is another great shot. Just pauses for a SEC. You can see the high, the high hands, too. Again, we talked about that with Mulia. It's a good indication of that. Everything is in the right position. He's got a lot of width. He's also got a lot of speed that's about to come into the back of the ball, right? And you might notice something here as we go down through it. Because he's generating so much speed, it looks like he's kind of coming up off the ground. If he kept his leg in the ground and had his, his his foot stable, he might have some knee issues, right? Because there's just so much speed and torque going into that ball. So that's a a speed technique that a lot of coaches are using now is kind of getting their players to kind of come up out of it a little bit so that they can get through the ball a little bit easier with with, with, especially if they have a lot of speed now. Not everybody is like Kyle Berkshire and not everybody can do that. So just, you know, practice efficiently. Don't be trying to swing as fast as possible. Make sure that you got the fundamentals down before you're trying anything like this. But we'll just go through here to the end. You can see impact that left hip is open. Again, another good marker for a good full turn. We can see here. I just wanted to show that the foot coming off and then obviously impact is is flushed. So yeah, one of the best swings in golf. Kyle Berkshire, really good hair too, by the way. We didn't have that yesterday with Minwoo Lee with the flowing locks. But yeah, it's really a cool swing. And look at that vertical force. Yeah, lot of vertical force. And just again, good fundamentals. I mean, you see here from down the line, even before we get to the speed, it's easy to see that Kyle he's he's got a lot of the things that you like to see as a coach. And that's how you can kind of translate that to to good shots. How about also at the top when we see. Kind of disconnect between the right arm. And the torso, yeah, yeah, let's get up to the top here quick. And this is my favorite shot here. Yeah, the right arm, right like that. That's again when we talk about the width sometimes. We talked about that yesterday. Amateurs at home are a little bit too tight and they're, if you can kind of expand that with where you're, you're, you're turning and you're kind of getting that almost that right shoulder all the way back. So you're parallel, your backs facing the target. That's what Kyle does really well. And that allows you to kind of come down with, with some, with some speed, you're allowed to get your hips to kind of clear out a little bit. And it's easier for a guy like Kyle to get that because he's got a lot of flexibility too, right? Like that's another thing, you know, at home if you're trying to get a little bit more. Maybe you can work on less like pumping a lot of weights and doing a little bit more band work and more mobility stuff and that I can't guarantee you end up in this position, but it'll be a little bit easier to get some more power to all right, we'll swing your swing. You don't always have to copy these guys because that is a that's a hard one to have to pull off, but I love seeing that that's great. All right, coming up next, we've got. I think someone swing that our Phillies fans will like.
