00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720
This drill is the bounce pass wipe, so this is a kind of overall feeling drill
2
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:07.040
to help
3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:12.080
you get a sense of how your arms should extend and where they should extend in
4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:13.200
the golf swing.
5
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.800
If you're doing a proper wipe, which is necessary to have a good amount of side
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:17.680
bend, all necessary
7
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:19.840
to build that good flat spot.
8
00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:24.300
So what we'll do is we'll take a light ball, it could be a medicine ball, it
9
00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:24.760
could be a
10
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:31.170
basketball, soccer ball, volleyball, but we're going to get into this good kind
11
00:00:31.170 --> 00:00:32.360
of body impact
12
00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:38.840
position and then from here we're going to throw a bounce pass basically in the
13
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:39.320
general
14
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.080
direction of that bag.
15
00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:44.400
We're out at about 30 degrees down that target line.
16
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:48.210
So in this bounce pass I'm going to bend both elbows and then I'm going to
17
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:49.160
straighten both
18
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:50.160
elbows.
19
00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.760
So it'll work something like that.
20
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.160
So again, from here I'm going to have the ball close to myself and then in
21
00:00:59.160 --> 00:00:59.880
order to
22
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.800
get that downward motion I'm going to extend both arms.
23
00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:09.260
This is somewhat similar to what we're trying to do with a good release.
24
00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:13.110
So I'm going to get into that same position, I'm going to bend both arms which
25
00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:13.640
is going
26
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:18.520
to feel a little weird and then I'm going to extend in that position.
27
00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:23.350
So compared to my body it's just slightly left of my body, it's not quite
28
00:01:23.350 --> 00:01:24.320
straight out
29
00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:28.810
in front, it's just slightly left but because of that side bend even though my
30
00:01:28.810 --> 00:01:29.360
arms are
31
00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:32.940
working straight out in front of me the club's not going to slam into the
32
00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:33.440
ground, it's going
33
00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:35.360
to brush the ground.
34
00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:39.160
If I was straight up and down and I did a good white movement the club would
35
00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:39.800
just slam
36
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:44.480
into the ground but if I have this side bend and I do that good white movement
37
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:45.120
the club
38
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.800
will just brush the ground with this high to low pattern.
39
00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:53.260
So then once I have this feeling I can try hitting some golf balls getting into
40
00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:53.400
that
41
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:58.300
same movement pattern where I'm going to get into this impact position, I'm
42
00:01:58.300 --> 00:01:59.200
going to bend
43
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:07.330
both elbows and then I'm going to extend those arms out in that 30 degree angle
44
00:02:07.330 --> 00:02:08.680
position.
45
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.580
So if I'm set up to this ball I'm going to get into this body position, I'm
46
00:02:12.580 --> 00:02:13.160
going to
47
00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:19.320
bend those arms and I'm basically extending my arms down out right about there.
48
00:02:19.320 --> 00:02:24.590
If I did that with the golf club that would look something like this and now I
49
00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:25.200
'm going
50
00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:31.980
to extend my arms out in that direction not extending my arms right at the ball
51
00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:32.400
.
52
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:37.560
So there's that good impact position and then I'm going to bend those elbows
53
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:38.400
and extend
54
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.000
those arms out in front.
55
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.460
This will help me get the proper feeling of this white movement and it may
56
00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:45.040
overcome some
57
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:49.500
barriers as to the direction or the timing of where and when my arms should
58
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:50.160
actually
59
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:52.160
be extending in a good release.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:07.040

the golf swing.

If you're doing a proper wipe, which is necessary to have a good amount of side
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:17.680

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:38.400
and extend
54
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.000
those arms out in front.
55
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.460
This will help me get the proper feeling of this white movement and it may
56
00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:45.040
overcome some
57
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:49.500
barriers as to the direction or the timing of where and when my arms should
58
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:50.160
actually
59
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:52.160
be extending in a good release.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720
This drill is the bounce pass wipe, so this is a kind of overall feeling drill
2
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:07.040
to help
3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:12.080
you get a sense of how your arms should extend and where they should extend in
4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:13.200
the golf swing.
5
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.800
If you're doing a proper wipe, which is necessary to have a good amount of side
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:17.680
bend, all necessary
7
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:19.840
to build that good flat spot.
8
00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:24.300
So what we'll do is we'll take a light ball, it could be a medicine ball, it
9
00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:24.760
could be a
10
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:31.170
basketball, soccer ball, volleyball, but we're going to get into this good kind
11
00:00:31.170 --> 00:00:32.360
of body impact
12
00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:38.840
position and then from here we're going to throw a bounce pass basically in the
13
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:39.320
general
14
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.080
direction of that bag.
15
00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:44.400
We're out at about 30 degrees down that target line.
16
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:48.210
So in this bounce pass I'm going to bend both elbows and then I'm going to
17
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:49.160
straighten both
18
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:50.160
elbows.
19
00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.760
So it'll work something like that.
20
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.160
So again, from here I'm going to have the ball close to myself and then in
21
00:00:59.160 --> 00:00:59.880
order to
22
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.800
get that downward motion I'm going to extend both arms.
23
00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:09.260
This is somewhat similar to what we're trying to do with a good release.
24
00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:13.110
So I'm going to get into that same position, I'm going to bend both arms which
25
00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:13.640
is going
26
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:18.520
to feel a little weird and then I'm going to extend in that position.
27
00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:23.350
So compared to my body it's just slightly left of my body, it's not quite
28
00:01:23.350 --> 00:01:24.320
straight out
29
00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:28.810
in front, it's just slightly left but because of that side bend even though my
30
00:01:28.810 --> 00:01:29.360
arms are
31
00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:32.940
working straight out in front of me the club's not going to slam into the
32
00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:33.440
ground, it's going
33
00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:35.360
to brush the ground.
34
00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:39.160
If I was straight up and down and I did a good white movement the club would
35
00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:39.800
just slam
36
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:44.480
into the ground but if I have this side bend and I do that good white movement
37
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:45.120
the club
38
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.800
will just brush the ground with this high to low pattern.
39
00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:53.260
So then once I have this feeling I can try hitting some golf balls getting into
40
00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:53.400
that
41
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:58.300
same movement pattern where I'm going to get into this impact position, I'm
42
00:01:58.300 --> 00:01:59.200
going to bend
43
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:07.330
both elbows and then I'm going to extend those arms out in that 30 degree angle
44
00:02:07.330 --> 00:02:08.680
position.
45
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.580
So if I'm set up to this ball I'm going to get into this body position, I'm
46
00:02:12.580 --> 00:02:13.160
going to
47
00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:19.320
bend those arms and I'm basically extending my arms down out right about there.
48
00:02:19.320 --> 00:02:24.590
If I did that with the golf club that would look something like this and now I
49
00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:25.200
'm going
50
00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:31.980
to extend my arms out in that direction not extending my arms right at the ball
51
00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:32.400
.
52
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:37.560
So there's that good impact position and then I'm going to bend those elbows
53
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:38.400
and extend
54
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.000
those arms out in front.
55
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.460
This will help me get the proper feeling of this white movement and it may
56
00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:45.040
overcome some
57
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:49.500
barriers as to the direction or the timing of where and when my arms should
58
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:50.160
actually
59
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:52.160
be extending in a good release.
