00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.100
This drill is 9 to 3 motorcycle training.

2
00:00:04.100 --> 00:00:09.490
So when you're working on the motorcycle, it's important to get used to having

3
00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:09.840
that

4
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:14.080
lead wrist a little bit more inflection as you're going through the release.

5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.840
So 9 to 3 motorcycle training is a simple drill to get used to your wrist

6
00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:19.760
already being

7
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.140
flexed at the point when you get the shaft to parallel and then keeping that

8
00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:25.040
wrist flexed

9
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:27.640
all the way as you go through to impact.

10
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.520
Even the full swing, because there's going to be a lot of pivot speed, you're

11
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:31.080
not actually

12
00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:34.710
going to be able to keep that wrist flexed, but if you're doing slow motion or

13
00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:35.700
9 to 3

14
00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:40.440
style swings, you may be able to keep it completely flexed or partially flexed.

15
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:42.100
So here's how it works.

16
00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:46.860
You're going to go back to that starting position from the 9 to 3 and you can

17
00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:47.460
see from the down

18
00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:50.080
the line camera angle that there's an angle right here, right?

19
00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:51.080
There's a little bit of space.

20
00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:52.840
That would be perfectly flat.

21
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.600
If I had my normal grip and just did a one piece takeaway, I'll still have a

22
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:57.940
little bit

23
00:00:57.940 --> 00:00:58.940
of angle here.

24
00:00:58.940 --> 00:01:03.820
Now what I want to do is I'm going to flex so that now I've changed that angle

25
00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:04.240
about

26
00:01:04.240 --> 00:01:06.240
25 degrees.

27
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:07.240
So I go from here.

28
00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:08.240
I flex.

29
00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:12.510
Now it looks like that club face has closed because it has and now my goal is

30
00:01:12.510 --> 00:01:12.960
to keep

31
00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:17.720
that same amount of flex pretty much until impact or actually feel like I

32
00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:18.240
increase it

33
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:22.960
to impact and then as my arms extend on the way through, I'll tend to lose it.

34
00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:27.880
So from the face on view, I go to that waist height, motorcycle.

35
00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:34.830
Now keep that motorcycle all the way until here and I can check it to make sure

36
00:01:34.830 --> 00:01:35.280
that

37
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:41.290
at this waist height position, I haven't lost it completely, that I haven't

38
00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:42.080
extended

39
00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:44.880
that wrist like that.

40
00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:50.080
So I'm getting to here motorcycle and then keep that motorcycle on the way

41
00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:51.000
through.

42
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.690
This is a great way to start training what it's going to feel like during the

43
00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:54.960
release

44
00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:57.920
to have that motorcycle movement already have occurred.

45
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.940
Now in the full swing, the motorcycle movement can either happen to end your

46
00:02:01.940 --> 00:02:02.480
backswing at

47
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.580
the top of the swing during transition kind of right down here, but most guys

48
00:02:06.580 --> 00:02:07.160
are going

49
00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:14.170
to have it, the majority of it started by the time the club is about waist

50
00:02:14.170 --> 00:02:15.320
height.

51
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:20.720
So this drill gets you used to, well, if I had already done the motorcycle, now

52
00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:21.160
what

53
00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:24.200
is it going to feel like, what am I going to experience?

54
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:26.760
How am I not going to hit it left?

55
00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:31.780
Because if you're used to squaring the face more with releasing the shaft

56
00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:33.280
vertically or

57
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.030
releasing the shaft to square up the face, then what will happen is if you

58
00:02:37.030 --> 00:02:37.320
motorcycle

59
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:40.760
and you did that, it's going to go way left.

60
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:46.890
So you can do this either as a movement where you're going to kind of slowly

61
00:02:46.890 --> 00:02:47.760
pause in this

62
00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:56.090
transition to allow that motorcycle to happen or you can do it in a positional

63
00:02:56.090 --> 00:02:57.400
drill where

64
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:03.840
you're going to go to that 9 to 3 position, close the face and then from here,

65
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:04.600
just release

66
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:05.600
through.

67
00:03:05.600 --> 00:03:10.010
So this gets you to work on that lead wrist flexion, which is a key component

68
00:03:10.010 --> 00:03:10.600
to having

69
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:14.380
a really good rotation side bend, delay of the arms, really important for

70
00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:15.040
building that

71
00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:17.560
flat spot and building your overall stock swing.
