-I'm Martin Hall. You're watching School of Golf Extra Credit. Pushes and pulls, how to get the best of those 2 [unk] shots. Now, sometimes, it's very helpful to have a field to improve your golf swing and ball flight, and sometimes it's equally simple and then help to have an image. Today, I'm gonna talk about 4 images that you can use that will definitely help you either eliminate the push or eliminate the pull. So, I brought here my old friend, the wall of learning. Here he is, the wall of learning. Now, if you are pushing the ball. Realize if you are pushing the ball, you are swinging to the right. Now, that would mean if I put the toe of my club right next to that wall, then I would be swinging away from the wall and going right for that wall. If you are going to avoid the push, here is a wonderful though that worked incredibly well for me at one time in my life. I actually got message during the Irish Open. I would tell you to feel as a correction for the push. Feel that, see that, imagine that you swing up the wall. Now, you probably won't go straight up this wall, come down the wall. You probably won't come straight down this wall and then go away from the wall as soon as you can. So, I call that up the wall, down the wall, away from the wall and it's almost impossible for that ball to push if you do that. I think I've confused it completely by having this here, but not to worry, it works very well. Let's say you don't push it, but you have pull it. Now, could you use the wall of learning, well just the opposite image? If you want to avoid the pull and the though would now bare in your mind across a pull when you're swing to the left, and the face is looking to the left. If you want to avoid the pull, here we go it's away from the wall, towards the wall, and then along the wall. Will you really do that? Probably not, but if you go away from the wall, towards the wall, and then so you definitely not going to pull that ball, so away from the wall, towards the wall, and up the wall. Now, about swing thought and a followthrough thought, I shot with followthrough thought and the back swing thought because I'm gonna go push first. If you want an extra image to avoid the push, think of a wall being about on your heel line and to eliminate the push, try and take your right palm and touch that wall about hip height. So, this would be the sort of the anti push drill, up the wall, down the wall, hit the wall over here. That will definitely start the push. To stop the pull, we just put the wall in a different place. Now, this time, I'm going to go away from the first wall, and I'm gonna touch the wall behind me and as I start down, I'd want to come down the wall here and then out. So controlling your pushes and your pulls is about controlling your path. Using the right images con fix your ball flight I promise you.
