00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
You notice on the site that I don't have a ton of training aids. I'm not really

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:04.240
a

3
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:08.220
big fan of most training aids, but there are some that I like and some that I

4
00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:15.400
build myself that I kind of show you how to do. So this is one that Johnson

5
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:21.600
Claire created that's very smart. It's just taking a golf ball and taping it

6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.560
about where the center of mass of the club would be. So if I just kind of

7
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:30.820
balanced it there it's basically if I took the club and I balanced it like this

8
00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:35.480
and I found where that balance point was and then I took a golf ball and I just

9
00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:39.080
taped it right there. That's pretty much what we're doing. So it should be in

10
00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:44.680
line with the club taped at about where the balance point is. So what that does

11
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:51.720
is that as I hold it it just feels like a heavy club but it swings somewhat

12
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:57.000
naturally. So what I can do is I can I can kind of feel the the different

13
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.300
relationships so I can feel what happens if I rotate. So if I'm working on the

14
00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:06.920
motorcycle I can get used to that feeling of the club in a little bit more

15
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:07.480
closed

16
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:14.280
position and you can actually make contacts swinging with it but feels a

17
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.640
little weird and depending on how securely you did the tape the ball the

18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:24.040
center of mass may move but the one that I really like it for is feeling that

19
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.600
arm-shallowing or that water bottle transition feeling because it'll

20
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:32.200
exaggerate the feeling of it dropping and as it because it's exaggerating that

21
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.930
feeling of it dropping it'll encourage me to then feel like I'm gonna get on

22
00:01:35.930 --> 00:01:36.160
top

23
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:42.800
of it. So I can practice that good arm-shallowing movement and before I reach

24
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:47.480
parallel or shaft parallel so before I get really into the release I'm making

25
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.840
sure that I'm starting that club working out away from me or basically

26
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.760
instead of feeling it dropping this way feeling like I'm starting to go here.

27
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:56.960
So

28
00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:00.360
basically this is a great way to exaggerate that feeling of the Zorro

29
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:06.040
loops so I'll feel the drop a little bit more so I can start applying that kind

30
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:06.120
of

31
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:11.000
tumble force or the some of the supination of the release a little bit

32
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.440
earlier. So the three drills that I really like this exaggerated center mass

33
00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:21.600
for would be Zorro loops are kind of feeling when feeling going from arm

34
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:28.080
shallowing to arm steepening or kind of somewhere in this phase right around

35
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:33.040
here. I really like exaggerating and kind of feeling the weight of the club

36
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:38.480
there and I really like this for the single arm releases because what you'll

37
00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:44.800
what you'll tend to feel is if you if you scoop it with this as opposed to

38
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.720
kind of hitting that good release the weight of the club you'll really feel

39
00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:55.520
it come in or go out so you'll feel whether this arm is kind of pulling the

40
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.760
mass in towards me or allowing it to go out and using my body to kind of pull

41
00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:03.860
the mass in towards me. So if I'm doing it too much with my arm or if I'm doing

42
00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:08.740
my body this little exaggerated weight tends to help me feel that. With the

43
00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:14.460
weight arm it is very hard this thing gets really heavy trying to disconnect

44
00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:23.540
here so feeling me just swing the center of mass is a lot easier with this kind

45
00:03:23.540 --> 00:03:28.620
of heavy weighted club as opposed to you know when I do it with the standard

46
00:03:28.620 --> 00:03:32.460
club. So the three times I like this are for training each arm during the

47
00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:32.780
release

48
00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:38.620
or feeling that timing of going from of the Zora loops going from the shallow

49
00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:43.660
move to the bracing move or the steepening moves during the release if you're

50
00:03:43.660 --> 00:03:47.840
struggling with kind of getting a feel for those make one of these clubs take

51
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.260
a golf ball just tape it where the center of mass would be for that

52
00:03:53.260 --> 00:03:58.460
particular golf club obviously I'd recommend taking a specific old club so

53
00:03:58.460 --> 00:04:02.620
that you can always keep it in your you know whether you're you've got a little

54
00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:06.460
practice such spot in your garage or you can keep this in your bag as a

55
00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:06.860
training

56
00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:11.100
club it's a great way to exaggerate some of the feels during some of these key

57
00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:11.420
drills.
