Cut through the tea at the base of the ground. What the heck Just this morning there was a golfer that came in, hasn't played since May, we are in September and only played twice last year. And the last time he went out to hit some balls, he was all over the place. Didn't know what was, what the hecks was going on. Mm-hmm. . So he thought that he could come to the pro shop and get fit for a set of clubs Cause that would fix all His, because that would fix all, he could buy his way out. Mm-hmm. and, and, and get a golf swing. Mm-hmm. . So our assistant had a, a little bit of a fit because that person was out to in by 10 degrees.
And so they were swinging so far to the left as a righthand person and the angle of attack was still so steep. They kept on jarring the mat and there was no way that they could be fit for any kind of clubs. Mm-hmm. , he tried an inch and a half longer. He tried cuz he was a tall person and he tried a half inch shorter, nothing worked. Mm-hmm. And so what we did is I said, Come on over to my side. Mm-hmm. and we give him a grass whip and we showed him how to cut grass. So Seth, you have a grass whip in your hands and so what I want you to do is cut grass in both directions there and it's really simple task. Right. You see the grass, you see the tool that you have and you're just cutting grass along the ground. Now in a million years, go to the top of your back swing in a million years. Would you feel the need to go this way Is it if you wanted to cut grass along the surface of the ground No, I'd like to keep my legs.
Thank you. Okay, . So you're using the momentum of the arms and grass whip and you're just cutting grass along the surface of the ground in both directions. So you notice this forms a beautiful arc. Mm-hmm. . So then we take the arc and we cut a tee with it. So we put these two pieces of tape on that grass whip in which she's gonna cut thet in that direction.
So did you see the blur pass over that tee So we're just gonna cut the tee at the base of the ground. Awesome. Do that again. Cut through the tee at the base of the ground. Okay, go to the next one. If you cut through the tee at the base of the ground, what happens to the ball Just falls Cut through the tee at the base of the ground or not Almost Try it again.
Same deal. Cut through the tea at the base of the ground. What the heck That is skills. You see how small that is What the heck Okay, let's do it again. So, Question. Were your, were your eyes on the ball Yeah. Oh, there you go. So well done. What we're gonna do Yes. Perfect. Well done. So put your eyes on the grass between the leading edge of the grass whip and the ball and cut the grass at the base of the ground. There we go. Ditto, please. Ditto. Cut through At the base of the ground. Yes. So when your eyes are on the ball, guess what You hit the ball. Hmm. That would've been a top shot. Mm-hmm . And if your eyes are on the ground and the soul of the club stays along the ground, you cut through and the ball falls to the ground. So of course nobody knows that this club is first and foremost designed to cut grass. It's got a leading edge. It's sharp enough to get through the grass. So here's your seven iron, your grass whip, seven iron. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna put a tea lower to the ground and all you're gonna do is cut the knob of the tea out from the ground with the soul of the club. Look at that beautiful little Canadian bacon strip.
Yeah. Okay. So now we put a ball on that. Go ahead. Cut through the tea. With the soul of the club. What happens when you do that Ball meets center face. Doesn't that feel amazing Yeah. Did you guys hear that sound That was flusher than flush Mm-hmm. . Okay. So it took 10 minutes, 10 minutes to fix that individual. And then we had a wonderful fitting. Not Fix, just help, I apologize. Not fix, just help. Right So we now are following the surface of the ground with the soul of the tool. Now the ball can meet the face and instantly over the top is gone. Mm-hmm. . So what was happening is that individual was going after the ball. So as long as you go after the ball, it doesn't matter what tool you have in your hands, how long it is.
Mm-hmm. , it doesn't matter what kind of club you have, nothing's gonna work. So you can't buy your way into the game when the ball is your target. Mm-hmm. . But if you use the club the way it was meant to be used, and you're just gonna let the club follow the ground. So what's really cool about that is if I only had one arm mm-hmm. and I was cutting grass with just one arm.
Where's the center of this swing Sa your shoulder socket. So my shoulder socket represents the center of this machine. And notice how the club keeps cutting grass underneath the shoulder socket. Yeah. So now we take the club and put it in both hands. The center of the machine now is right here between my clavicles, the, the sternal notch. Mm-hmm. . And then I'm gonna take the grass and I'm gonna send it to the target.
So watch what happens. Send the grass, send the grass, send the grass, send the grass. So now I've, I'm starting to get these beautiful divots that are going in that direction. So if I take the grass from here and I send it to my target, watch what happens. It's an arc. Send the grass, send the grass, send the grass and notice the grass comes out from the center forward. I bring that to the ball and all I gotta do now is my eyes are between the leading edge of the club and the ball on the grass, not on the ball. Cuz I don't want my brain to go back to the ball. So I am cutting through the stem in the direction of my intermediate point and I'm just letting the arc take care of itself. Have you ever seen something more beautiful S very lovely. Wasn't that gorgeous Mm-hmm. , You can see my divot is moving in that direction. And that was absolutely right there in the center of my club face because the soul of the club was staying along the surface of the ground.
