[Coleman] Now, we already talked about my hand is a little bit below, notice how this almost more has kind of a upward look to it, right? If I’m looking here at my tip, here at my hand, it’s almost upward. So, my hand’s kind of below the tip. So, the next swing I’m going to have to really get it above it, and it’ll probably be a little bit more level, if you will, rather than kind of downward, like I’m wanting. Boom.

Now here’s the issue. We’re kind of level. Okay? It’s like my golf swing. With a bad swing, you better be correcting it when it gets close to the ball. Okay? It’s a long ways from here to here. So, this is going to force some creativity in my delivery. I’m not really going to use my swing to catch the steer. I’m going to try to use a good delivery to compensate for a bad swing.

And I had a guy tell me a long time ago in golf, anytime you start compensating, it’s extremely hard to be consistent. Make sense? Fix the core of the problem. Core of the problem is that my hand just doesn’t have my tip going towards the target, right?

So, here in the delivery, I’m going to go ahead and give her the old roll down. And you’ll notice that it’s not going to hit the back of the horns. It’s going to hit dead. Right? It’s going to splatter. Now stop right there. Did you see the turn on my loop? When you reach this… Honda, stop. Right there. See this Honda’s facing towards my tip? Okay? And it’s going to pull off my left hand here, because I’m having to use the pull between my hands to get the tip coming towards the target. So, I’ve got to turn the loop early and then let my coils out, if that makes sense. In an ideal world, I would be throwing my coils where that Honda’s facing forward towards that tip all the way to the back of the steer’s head. I did not have a good swing. So, I’m having to get creative with my delivery here, which happens, I mean, it’s team roping.

[Pace] Well, and this is really advanced stuff. When we say something like this, if you’re wanting to head at a high level and you’re… got to get that- [crosstalk 00:01:58]

[Coleman] This is advanced stuff, but this is the little stuff that makes a huge difference for people of all calibers.

[Pace] Exactly. And I think that the root of this is where the plane of your rope is with your… Correlated, to where your hand is.

[Coleman] Fix the core of the problem. Butch Harmon used to talk about fixing tiger swing. You fix two or three core problems and you let the little ones fall away.

Hear What Others Are Saying About X Factor Roping

Brad, Texas

Being able to watch the slow mo videos have really been a blessing for me. It’s helped me learn my delivery for heeling. Along with how and where my horse needs to be. Some nights my girlfriend and I will break down videos to help us out. She has really progressed in breakaway roping because of watching your videos.

Lauren, California

X Factor has completely changed my mindset in my practice, how I compete and shaped a lot of my horsemanship while roping. I have ridden horses, trained, and barrel raced all my life, but within the past 3 years I have started to rope. I had a young horse I knew I couldn't finish in the barrels because she isn't very fast, but would make a great heel horse. So I set off on an adventure of training a rope horse, all while also learning to rope myself! Lucky me, my horse is a natural at reading cattle and watching a corner, but it was still a learning curve. My X Factor membership purchase was a turning point for my positioning, warm up for my heel horse and my body control translating to my horse when delivering. X Factor was also when my "self teaching" of how to heel really took off! Watching videos over and over, taking notes and exploring all of the different pros to learn from was what really helped me start to figure out my swing, timing and delivery.

Clay, Missouri

It has helped my horsemanship out a lot. My favorite part about the site is by far the Facebook coaching group. Ryan Motes series on advancing through the different levels of heeling has helped me the most. My mental game has improved significantly.. And it has changed the way I practice I used to just run steers now I practice to accomplish something.

Daniel, Mississippi

I love X Factor, it has helped me work on everything from dummy work to horsemanship. I’ve roped and been doing something wrong, go home and find my problem on the website. I’ve started roping in the practice pin a lot different where I use to just go make runs I now have a goal on every steer I run. Thank you, keep doing what y’all are doing!!

Blaine, Mississippi

It has help me tremendously with my horsemanship, the way I practice, and also how approach certain situation. My favorite part of the site is all the different categories you can choose from to work on. Love it

Jordynn, Canada

X Factor has helped me probably the most in my horsemanship which is precisely why I was interested in becoming a member to begin with. So mission accomplished. My favourite parts about the site is the horsemanship videos. And the videos of the ropings. I would say the Joseph Harrison and the Ryan Motes videos have helped me the most. Both a great horsemen and I like how they Really break down what they’re doing with their colts I practice completely different than I used to. And with me being a colt starter and rope horse trainer I take a lot from the horse training videos. And really appreciate them being available.
