Summary
From Lou's swing laboratory: Lou is working on a way to practice hitting shots from slopes, not only to work on those shots, but to work on the various pressure shifts in the golf swing. In this episode, he talks with Mark about his plans. The discussion includes the various effects of slopes on shots (which are different with different clubs) and the different ways in which golfers apply ground forces in the swing.

| 0:00.0 | So Lou's got the ropes, he's got the hammers, he's got the tool kit out. |
| 0:04.8 | And I'm always worried when I see Lou's studio and he's got his little brain thinking about making some new thing. |
| 0:13.3 | What are you making now, Lou? |
| 0:16.5 | So I think this is going to be fun to make. |
| 0:19.7 | So I have a new toy. I have to make. So I have a new toy. |
| 0:22.5 | I have a balance mat. |
| 0:24.8 | So it essentially gives me pressures. |
| 0:26.6 | It's not like what you have with your force plates. |
| 0:29.9 | I just have a pressure mat. |
| 0:32.4 | But it's a mat, you know, so it's a... |
| 0:34.9 | Like a door mat, isn't it? |
| 0:36.0 | Yeah, it's like a very large door mat. But there's a little bit of thickness to it. So it's maybe three quarters of an inch thick. Yeah, it's like two or three dorm mats on top of each other. Yeah, it is. It is. And so that means the ball is below my feet, right? It's not level, which is, which is okay, but like I wanted to, |
| 0:58.2 | I want to build a platform where the balance mat is flush with the rest of the surface, |
| 1:06.3 | but I want to build a platform that I can adjust so that I can tilt it a little bit and then have the have situations where the ball is below my feet. |
| 1:15.9 | The ball is above my feet. |
| 1:18.3 | I might even set it up where I can do downhill lies. |
| 1:21.6 | I don't think I would do uphill lies like on an indoor situation. Like I just would not want to risk putting something above my |
| 1:32.3 | net and smashing into the ceiling so I don't know that I'd ever set it up with an uphill |
| 1:36.8 | lie but I want to set it up so I can adjust and I'm super curious to talk through you know, not that and how I'm going to build this |
| 1:46.7 | out and what it's going to look like and everything, but am I on the right track with, |
| 1:52.3 | you know, creating an environment where I can put the ball below my feet, put it above my feet, |
| 1:57.7 | make a downhill lie, is that going to help my practice? And is that something |
