00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.040
This is TP roll back swings for the loss of posture swing fault so we use the
2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:09.600
rolled up or the toilet paper roll a fair amount the great thing about the
3
00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:13.280
toilet paper roll is you can get them they come in kind of these enormous
4
00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:16.780
sizes now and you can just whittle them down until it's the right size for you
5
00:00:16.780 --> 00:00:20.880
so that if you were to grip your forms together you would want in and about in
6
00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:24.840
the middle of your forms to allow you to apply just the gentle amount of
7
00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:30.760
pressure what can happen in the loss of posture swing fault is as you make your
8
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.760
backswing instead of letting your forearms kind of rotate to support that
9
00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:40.260
jazzy Jeff move you will let that right arm fly away in which case you would
10
00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:44.680
drop the toilet paper roll when the arm flies away like so this shoulder
11
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:45.120
becomes
12
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:49.470
in a position where it could get impinged and so you'll stand up to prevent
13
00:00:49.470 --> 00:00:49.620
that
14
00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:54.920
shoulder from having to work so much across your chest so the toilet paper
15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.920
roll and it's a little tricky getting it in the right alignment but no big deal
16
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.900
so the the toilet paper roll gives you that tactile sensation of how you how
17
00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:08.620
your arms are going to feel at the top of the swing and it's much easier for me
18
00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:13.340
to create the side bend there than if I had my arm like this if I side bend I
19
00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:18.100
can actually feel a little bit of kind of some strain in the capsule so the
20
00:01:18.100 --> 00:01:22.140
toilet paper roll will help you work on that right arm position that we talk
21
00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:25.580
