Video number 5 focuses on drill number two, identical to the first, aimed at achieving a natural golf swing and straight drives. Clay emphasizes identifying and fixing swing biases such as overdraws or toe hits by practicing opposite patterns until biases diminish. Repeating this process helps refine the swing, making it more accurate. The key is to consistently recognize, adjust, and practice to progressively reduce biases and achieve straighter shots. The video encourages continual practice beyond the course for lasting improvement and success.

Welcome back to week four. This is the drill number two, recap. Drill number two is gonna be basically identical to drill number one. The whole goal of this course is I wanna be able to step up, make a completely natural swing, and have that club move squarely through the ball. The ball fly dead straight.
I hit it really nice and solid. Now I'm trying to ingrain out any biases that I have that are keeping that ball from flying straight. So we talked about when we're using the brick. We're gonna be able to swing inside out. We're gonna be able to swing in outside in. If I hit these five shots where I feel I, I try to do nothing.
So basically I'm just hitting three to five shots, completely unconscious. I'm seeing what the ball does. Let's say for the example of this scenario, I'm coming a little too far inside out. I've got my hook release. Most of the shots overdrew on me. Let's say most of those shots in my, when I swung completely natural, didn't try to do anything, hit off the toe.
Well, I know I have too much of a draw bias and I know I'm too far off the toe. Now, in this course, we've worked on how to fix all that. We just have to now fix, do the opposite to get rid of that bias. And the more you repeat this process, those biases will start to get less and less severe. So I may have these big sweeping hooks.
And as I do it a little bit more, it turns into a little draw and I do a little bit more. It turns into barely drawing. I do it a little bit more. It turns into dead straight. So as long as you keep repeating this process where you work on the opposite of what you're doing, it will start to straighten out and straighten out.
It doesn't matter which way your ball's curving. Doesn't matter where you're hitting it, it'll keep on getting better and better. So again, for this scenario, let's say I did my natural swing. I'm overdrawing and hitting off the toe. I'm now gonna do three swings, practice swings where I feel the opposite.
So the opposite of that would be my over top of the brick kind of swinging on top of this, swinging over the stick, feel like I'm doing my fade release or my slice release, and I feel like I'm hitting it a little off the heel. I'm just doing a few practice swings till I'm like, okay, I feel what I should be doing through there.
Then I have to hit three successful shots with my opposite pattern. So I started out with my hooks, that are off the toe. I have to hit three good shots. Where I fade it and hit it off the heel. Now, once I do that, I just repeat the process as much as I want to. I'd like for you to go at least through two rounds of this, go back and make five natural swings again, if I'm still drawing it, do the exact same thing as last time.
If they're perfect, right? This is one thing if I go, if I make my natural swing and I have no biases. I hit a few fades. I hit a few draws. I hit a few dead straight. If you hit a few off the heel, off the toe, hit 'em dead solid. There's no bias in there. Perfect. Just keep on working this and you'll fine tune it and gradually do it.
You'll be surprised, even if you don't have a bias, just continue to spray the face. Your strikes will get tighter if you don't have a bias. Just continuing to be aware of what you're doing through impact, your bias will get tighter. So I'm just repeating this process over and over again. Last little tip here.
I know I've mentioned this before. If you don't know what your bias is, wait till you hit a nice solid one on the middle of the face and see what the ball does. Then if it's fading, I have a fade bias. Most of the time, people are gonna have a noticeable bias in one direction or another. If you get rid of all your biases, you're pretty daggone good off the T.
So repeat this, not only in week four, but for the rest of your life, the better you want to get. Just do this more and more. The more reps you put in, you're gonna get straighter and straighter and straighter. Best of luck. I've really enjoyed having you in this course. I can't wait to hear your success, and I'll see you soon.
