00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.340
In this concept video, we're going to investigate arm connection.
2
00:00:04.340 --> 00:00:09.540
Now, arm connection is a somewhat tricky topic.
3
00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:14.820
It just takes a little bit of understanding of some basic anatomy concepts.
4
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:20.560
But what I frequently see is many golfers in trying to brace or to get into a
5
00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:21.380
good kind
6
00:00:21.380 --> 00:00:27.340
of connection position in the follow through will overdo it and kind of keep
7
00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:28.300
their arm,
8
00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:32.340
their whole tricep and their whole upper arm up against their side.
9
00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:35.940
I think this stems from some of those drills where you'll take a glove and
10
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:36.780
place it under
11
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:39.980
your armpit or take a tee and place it under your armpit.
12
00:00:39.980 --> 00:00:45.980
The purpose of getting that armpit connection is really for scapular stability.
13
00:00:45.980 --> 00:00:51.300
So if you've ever done any exercise and you've played around with kettle bells
14
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:51.940
or some of
15
00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:55.460
the functional movement stuff, they're very big in scapular control.
16
00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:59.040
So at the top of the kettlebell swing, you want your shoulder to remain
17
00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:00.260
relatively packed.
18
00:01:00.260 --> 00:01:04.460
You don't want it to get pulled out of its socket like so.
19
00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:08.910
This is the same relationship that we want at the end of the follow through
20
00:01:08.910 --> 00:01:09.860
position.
21
00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:14.380
So right about there, we want that same position.
22
00:01:14.380 --> 00:01:20.420
So my arms are straight and extended, but my shoulders are nice and retracted
23
00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:21.940
or stabilized.
24
00:01:21.940 --> 00:01:26.290
What I see when a lot of people are trying to get in a good arm extension
25
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:27.020
position is
26
00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:32.420
that they end up extending more from the shoulder blades and not from the arms.
27
00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:37.880
So I want you to focus when you're getting into that good three position that
28
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:38.460
you're
29
00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:43.240
getting the arm extension more from the arms and not from the shoulder blade or
30
00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:43.700
yeah, not
31
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:45.620
from the shoulder blade.
32
00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:49.900
All you need at the shoulder blades is for the scap to stay stabilized.
33
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:54.420
You don't really need the arms to stay up against your body.
34
00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:58.300
They're going to drift out, but they'll be in a strong packed position so that
35
00:01:58.300 --> 00:01:58.940
if something
36
00:01:58.940 --> 00:02:03.520
was to pull me that way, my shoulders would be able to absorb that speed.
37
00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:07.120
One way that I work on this with students that you'll have to try to kind of
38
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:07.820
improvise
39
00:02:07.820 --> 00:02:11.740
yourself is in nine to three shots, I'll have them go to the finished position
40
00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:12.260
and I'll
41
00:02:12.260 --> 00:02:17.270
have, I'll kind of, I'll stand there and pull on the club or I'll walk to there
42
00:02:17.270 --> 00:02:17.860
once they're
43
00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:21.740
done hitting and I'll pull on the club just to feel that the arms are relaxed
44
00:02:21.740 --> 00:02:22.300
but that
45
00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:26.800
I can't pull them over and that basically their whole unit or the energy would
46
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:27.540
go through
47
00:02:27.540 --> 00:02:28.820
the shoulder blades.
48
00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:32.180
If they're here, if I go to pull, it's going to pull them over.
49
00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:37.140
So if you have someone who can grab the club and pull it, that's great.
50
00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:41.490
Otherwise you can just kind of do this little pump movement where you're
51
00:02:41.490 --> 00:02:42.580
basically feeling
52
00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:47.510
almost retract, protract of the shoulders but the arms are relatively loose and
53
00:02:47.510 --> 00:02:48.060
then what
54
00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:52.840
you can do is you can dial in that retract feeling and then take some swings
55
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:53.860
where basically
56
00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:57.650
it gets to that feeling where the arms are soft and extending but the shoulder
57
00:02:57.650 --> 00:02:58.060
blades
58
00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:00.340
are actually stabilizing.
59
00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:03.850
This will help you with your bracing and your follow through position which
60
00:03:03.850 --> 00:03:04.740
will ultimately
61
00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:10.670
help you get rid of a little bit of that scoop or stand up movement down
62
00:03:10.670 --> 00:03:11.780
through the
63
00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:18.380
wall because that's an alternative to stabilizing in the shoulder.
64
00:03:18.380 --> 00:03:25.550
So when you're doing these nine to three and focusing on that scap stability,
65
00:03:25.550 --> 00:03:26.020
you would
66
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:32.920
get to the end position and then if I did that facing this way, get to that end
67
00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:33.700
position
68
00:03:33.700 --> 00:03:39.700
and then just kind of softly float the arms out towards the target.
69
00:03:39.700 --> 00:03:43.890
From the face on view, we're going to do that same little pattern and we're
70
00:03:43.890 --> 00:03:44.180
just going
71
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:49.780
to let those arms pump a few times in that follow through.
72
00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:54.200
So we're there and then we just kind of feel that softness in the arms but that
73
00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:55.140
's stability
74
00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:57.340
in the shoulder blades.
75
00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:00.100
Use that to help you with your stability position in your nine to three
76
00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:00.780
training.

00:01:00.260 --> 00:01:04.460
You don't want it to get pulled out of its socket like so.
19
00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:08.910
This is the same relationship that we want at the end of the follow through
20
00:01:08.910 --> 00:01:09.860
position.
21
00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:14.380
So right about there, we want that same position.
22
00:01:14.380 --> 00:01:20.420
So my arms are straight and extended, but my shoulders are nice and retracted
23
00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:21.940
or stabilized.
24
00:01:21.940 --> 00:01:26.290
What I see when a lot of people are trying to get in a good arm extension
25
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:27.020
position is
26
00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:32.420
that they end up extending more from the shoulder blades and not from the arms.
27
00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:37.880
So I want you to focus when you're getting into that good three position that
28
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:38.460
you're
29
00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:43.240
getting the arm extension more from the arms and not from the shoulder blade or
30
00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:43.700
yeah, not
31
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:45.620
from the shoulder blade.
32
00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:49.900
All you need at the shoulder blades is for the scap to stay stabilized.
33
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:54.420
You don't really need the arms to stay up against your body.
34
00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:58.300
They're going to drift out, but they'll be in a strong packed position so that
35
00:01:58.300 --> 00:01:58.940
if something
36
00:01:58.940 --> 00:02:03.520
was to pull me that way, my shoulders would be able to absorb that speed.
37
00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:07.120
One way that I work on this with students that you'll have to try to kind of
38
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:07.820
improvise
39
00:02:07.820 --> 00:02:11.740
yourself is in nine to three shots, I'll have them go to the finished position
40
00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:12.260
and I'll
41
00:02:12.260 --> 00:02:17.270
have, I'll kind of, I'll stand there and pull on the club or I'll walk to there
42
00:02:17.270 --> 00:02:17.860
once they're
43
00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:21.740
done hitting and I'll pull on the club just to feel that the arms are relaxed
44
00:02:21.740 --> 00:02:22.300
but that
45
00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:26.800
I can't pull them over and that basically their whole unit or the energy would
46
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:27.540
go through
47
00:02:27.540 --> 00:02:28.820
the shoulder blades.
48
00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:32.180
If they're here, if I go to pull, it's going to pull them over.
49
00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:37.140
So if you have someone who can grab the club and pull it, that's great.
50
00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:41.490
Otherwise you can just kind of do this little pump movement where you're
51
00:02:41.490 --> 00:02:42.580
basically feeling
52
00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:47.510
almost retract, protract of the shoulders but the arms are relatively loose and
53
00:02:47.510 --> 00:02:48.060
then what
54
00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:52.840
you can do is you can dial in that retract feeling and then take some swings
55
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:53.860
where basically
56
00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:57.650
it gets to that feeling where the arms are soft and extending but the shoulder
57
00:02:57.650 --> 00:02:58.060
blades
58
00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:00.340
are actually stabilizing.
59
00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:03.850
This will help you with your bracing and your follow through position which
60
00:03:03.850 --> 00:03:04.740
will ultimately
61
00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:10.670
help you get rid of a little bit of that scoop or stand up movement down
62
00:03:10.670 --> 00:03:11.780
through the
63
00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:18.380
wall because that's an alternative to stabilizing in the shoulder.
64
00:03:18.380 --> 00:03:25.550
So when you're doing these nine to three and focusing on that scap stability,
65
00:03:25.550 --> 00:03:26.020
you would
66
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:32.920
get to the end position and then if I did that facing this way, get to that end
67
00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:33.700
position
68
00:03:33.700 --> 00:03:39.700
and then just kind of softly float the arms out towards the target.
69
00:03:39.700 --> 00:03:43.890
From the face on view, we're going to do that same little pattern and we're
70
00:03:43.890 --> 00:03:44.180
just going
71
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:49.780
to let those arms pump a few times in that follow through.
72
00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:54.200
So we're there and then we just kind of feel that softness in the arms but that
73
00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:55.140
's stability
74
00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:57.340
in the shoulder blades.
75
00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:00.100
Use that to help you with your stability position in your nine to three
76
00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:00.780
training.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.340
In this concept video, we're going to investigate arm connection.
2
00:00:04.340 --> 00:00:09.540
Now, arm connection is a somewhat tricky topic.
3
00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:14.820
It just takes a little bit of understanding of some basic anatomy concepts.
4
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:20.560
But what I frequently see is many golfers in trying to brace or to get into a
5
00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:21.380
good kind
6
00:00:21.380 --> 00:00:27.340
of connection position in the follow through will overdo it and kind of keep
7
00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:28.300
their arm,
8
00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:32.340
their whole tricep and their whole upper arm up against their side.
9
00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:35.940
I think this stems from some of those drills where you'll take a glove and
10
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:36.780
place it under
11
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:39.980
your armpit or take a tee and place it under your armpit.
12
00:00:39.980 --> 00:00:45.980
The purpose of getting that armpit connection is really for scapular stability.
13
00:00:45.980 --> 00:00:51.300
So if you've ever done any exercise and you've played around with kettle bells
14
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:51.940
or some of
15
00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:55.460
the functional movement stuff, they're very big in scapular control.
16
00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:59.040
So at the top of the kettlebell swing, you want your shoulder to remain
17
00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:00.260
relatively packed.
18
00:01:00.260 --> 00:01:04.460
You don't want it to get pulled out of its socket like so.
19
00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:08.910
This is the same relationship that we want at the end of the follow through
20
00:01:08.910 --> 00:01:09.860
position.
21
00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:14.380
So right about there, we want that same position.
22
00:01:14.380 --> 00:01:20.420
So my arms are straight and extended, but my shoulders are nice and retracted
23
00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:21.940
or stabilized.
24
00:01:21.940 --> 00:01:26.290
What I see when a lot of people are trying to get in a good arm extension
25
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:27.020
position is
26
00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:32.420
that they end up extending more from the shoulder blades and not from the arms.
27
00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:37.880
So I want you to focus when you're getting into that good three position that
28
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:38.460
you're
29
00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:43.240
getting the arm extension more from the arms and not from the shoulder blade or
30
00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:43.700
yeah, not
31
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:45.620
from the shoulder blade.
32
00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:49.900
All you need at the shoulder blades is for the scap to stay stabilized.
33
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:54.420
You don't really need the arms to stay up against your body.
34
00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:58.300
They're going to drift out, but they'll be in a strong packed position so that
35
00:01:58.300 --> 00:01:58.940

the shoulder blades.
48
00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:32.180
If they're here, if I go to pull, it's going to pull them over.
49
00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:37.140
So if you have someone who can grab the club and pull it, that's great.
50
00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:41.490
Otherwise you can just kind of do this little pump movement where you're

are actually stabilizing.

This will help you with your bracing and your follow through position which

wall because that's an alternative to stabilizing in the shoulder.
64
00:03:18.380 --> 00:03:25.550

Use that to help you with your stability position in your nine to three
76
00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:00.780
training.
