Open Trail Hand - Finesse Wedge

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.120
This drill is finesse wedge open trail hand so the open trail hand is one of

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:06.380
the

3
00:00:06.380 --> 00:00:13.340
the really great anti-flip drills it it it's interesting because it also is one

4
00:00:13.340 --> 00:00:18.660
of the great coasting drills so but I'll talk to you a little bit about why it

5
00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:24.240
might build complementary skills or what seems like opposite skills while doing

6
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.440
the same drill with the full swing when I am going to have the bracing if I'm

7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.380
scooping or staying underneath the weight of the club is going to cause a

8
00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:39.120
little bit of disconnect but in the finesse wedge because there's no bracing

9
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:44.280
there's no force causing the club to really snap so there's no real force that

10
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:49.960
would cause my hands to separate so it's actually good at helping train staying

11
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.680
under without having any real massive racing movement because if I were to

12
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:59.140
kind of flip or really throw with the hands I could feel a little bit of

13
00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:04.000
sliding because my hands stayed under so the big difference there are two big

14
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.760
differences in the finesse wedge version versus the full swing version in the

15
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.240
finesse wedge version you want your hand to stay more underneath the shaft on

16
00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:17.680
the way through not get on top of it because there's a very little shaft

17
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:24.800
rotation and then two you want your body to continue moving and and coast on

18
00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:30.320
the way through versus having that lead leg really push and creating more of a

19
00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:38.000
brace movement so open trail hand you can you can use this in a variety of

20
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.680
different ways either hit from the top brushing drills oftentimes I'll combine

21
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:51.200
this with a feeling of the rhythm or the brushing drill kind of like that or

22
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:51.960
you

23
00:01:51.960 --> 00:02:00.040
can do it just as a standalone drill so I'm just going to get set up take the

24
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:08.200
swing and it's helpful to work on I'd say multiple distances some golfers tend

25
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:12.840
to have a lot of trouble with either the real short chip shot and other golfers

26
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.680
have trouble with more the longer chip shot the 20 25 yard one so I would

27
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:23.840
experiment with both of those different zones focusing on when you come through

28
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:31.200
that the hand stays underneath and doesn't rotate on top then what can be

29
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:35.160
helpful if it feels drastically different is you can stop at different

30
00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:39.160
points in the swing and close your hand you'd say oh normally the club is out

31
00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:44.240
there or normally the club is there and and you can start to associate what's

32
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:50.600
different in this little one hand or open hand drill compared to your

33
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:55.320
regular swing so if you have an overactive right side it gets into internal

34
00:02:55.320 --> 00:03:01.520
rotation it tends to rehinge this can be a great way of taking some power away

35
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.200
from the trail arm and ultimately you'll hit these poorly unless you keep your

36
00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:08.960
body coasting on the way through that's why this is one of my favorite

37
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.760
sequencing or coasting drills for your wedge play
