00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.720
This drill is coat hanger lead wrist training.
2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:10.150
So there's a training product out there called the hanger, which is a, as far
3
00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:10.760
as I know,
4
00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:16.460
an adaptation of a famous drill that I've seen a number of guys use to help
5
00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:17.140
train the
6
00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:18.140
lead wrist.
7
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:23.200
And basically keeping that flexion of the lead wrist longer into the downswing.
8
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:30.240
Now we know that through impact most golfers are going to lose that lead wrist
9
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:31.040
flexion
10
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:33.320
that's going to move towards extension.
11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.930
But in my experience most of that is going to come from how much they're using
12
00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:37.340
their
13
00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:40.280
body in their bracing strategy.
14
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:46.530
So for a small drill and working on getting better arm extension, a coat hanger
15
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:47.040
helps
16
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.720
with your visual as well as your tactile feel.
17
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:54.330
And I've got two different versions here. This is just the classic coat hanger
18
00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:54.840
for at home
19
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.800
training, which I really like.
20
00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:02.690
And this one is a little bit flexible. You'll see why I like that strong, I
21
00:01:02.690 --> 00:01:03.740
like that better
22
00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:05.800
than the really firm plastic ones.
23
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:11.220
And then this is a wire coat hanger that I have taped to a club. So the basic
24
00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:11.800
principle
25
00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:18.160
is we'll take the coat hanger here and I'm going to grip it on the kind of the
26
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:18.960
far side
27
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.840
like so, so that I have the long side sticking up by my forearm.
28
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:28.550
Now what I'm going to do here, if I have just a neutral grip, you can see that
29
00:01:28.550 --> 00:01:29.400
this is off
30
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:34.300
my forearm. If I then go into the motorcycle movement and I flex that wrist,
31
00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:34.880
you can now
32
00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:39.940
see that I'm feeling a little bit of force and this is kind of bending the coat
33
00:01:39.940 --> 00:01:40.520
hanger
34
00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:41.600
this way.
35
00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:46.310
And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to practice going from 9 to 3 or
36
00:01:46.310 --> 00:01:47.120
even a little
37
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.000
bit past, keeping that flexion in the lead wrist.
38
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.020
Now again, in the full swing, because of how my body braces that would cause it
39
00:01:56.020 --> 00:01:56.520
to come
40
00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:01.940
out through there, but in this slow motion training, this keeping the flexion
41
00:02:01.940 --> 00:02:02.600
is going
42
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:09.540
to force me to absorb the speed and the movement of my arm more with some of
43
00:02:09.540 --> 00:02:10.880
this rotation.
44
00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:14.780
So I'm finishing with my wrist vertical. I'm not just holding off this way. I
45
00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:15.080
tend to
46
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.140
find that a lot of golfers trying to avoid the flip are going to hold the wrist
47
00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:19.480
off
48
00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:23.400
this way and not allow for that natural rotation.
49
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.400
Trying to hold off the club from passing is literally like trying to do a wrist
50
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:27.760
curl
51
00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:32.660
with a 100-pound weight, 150-pound weight if you have 120-mile hour club speed
52
00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:33.880
or so.
53
00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:37.350
So you're never going to be strong enough to just hold it off and it wouldn't
54
00:02:37.350 --> 00:02:38.200
be advantageous
55
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:42.910
if you did. Instead, what you want to do is you want to absorb it with a bit
56
00:02:42.910 --> 00:02:43.360
more of the
57
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.070
reform rotation. So there it is with just the lead arm and now I can have the
58
00:02:48.070 --> 00:02:48.720
trail arm
59
00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:56.200
kind of shadow it or even apply almost like an open right-hand type drill.
60
00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:01.350
Now this one, where I've bent it and basically got it straight out in line with
61
00:03:01.350 --> 00:03:03.480
the clubface,
62
00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:08.680
this one you can actually train, if we get that in line with the clubface, you
63
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:09.640
can actually
64
00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:17.300
train hitting little 9-3 shots trying to keep that wrist in that connected
65
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:18.720
position. So
66
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:26.360
if I did this towards the camera here, you could see keeping that in connection
67
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:26.880
all the
68
00:03:26.880 --> 00:03:35.200
way through there is basically what I did on this little 9-3 shot. Get it in
69
00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:36.200
connection,
70
00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:40.180
keep it there all the way through, get good arm extension without collapsing
71
00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:40.960
the wrist.
72
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.720
If I then took that into a little bit bigger swing, you'd see that I would lose
73
00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:47.200
it but
74
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:52.880
I'm still trying to maintain that same connection. So if you're struggling with
75
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:54.280
having a look
76
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.470
like this where the grip is pointing at your body, the club has passed and I've
77
00:03:58.470 --> 00:03:58.840
got this
78
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.990
kind of broken down arm look, then try the hanger connection that will help
79
00:04:03.990 --> 00:04:04.880
create much
80
00:04:04.880 --> 00:04:11.130
more width in that follow through, which will help improve your low point
81
00:04:11.130 --> 00:04:12.080
control and your
82
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.680
3D flat spot, which should give you a little bit more consistent contact.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.720

lead wrist.
7
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:23.200

9
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:31.040

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:23.200
And basically keeping that flexion of the lead wrist longer into the downswing.
8
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:30.240
Now we know that through impact most golfers are going to lose that lead wrist
9
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:31.040
flexion
10
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:33.320
that's going to move towards extension.
11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.930
But in my experience most of that is going to come from how much they're using
12
00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:37.340
their
13
00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:40.280
body in their bracing strategy.
14
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:46.530
So for a small drill and working on getting better arm extension, a coat hanger
15
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:47.040
helps
16
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.720
with your visual as well as your tactile feel.
17
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:54.330
And I've got two different versions here. This is just the classic coat hanger
18
00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:54.840
for at home
19
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.800
training, which I really like.
20
00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:02.690
And this one is a little bit flexible. You'll see why I like that strong, I
21
00:01:02.690 --> 00:01:03.740
like that better
22
00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:05.800
than the really firm plastic ones.
23
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:11.220
And then this is a wire coat hanger that I have taped to a club. So the basic
24
00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:11.800
principle
25
00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:18.160
is we'll take the coat hanger here and I'm going to grip it on the kind of the
26
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:18.960
far side
27
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.840
like so, so that I have the long side sticking up by my forearm.
28
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:28.550
Now what I'm going to do here, if I have just a neutral grip, you can see that
29
00:01:28.550 --> 00:01:29.400
this is off
30
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:34.300
my forearm. If I then go into the motorcycle movement and I flex that wrist,
31
00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:34.880
you can now
32
00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:39.940
see that I'm feeling a little bit of force and this is kind of bending the coat
33
00:01:39.940 --> 00:01:40.520
hanger
34
00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:41.600
this way.
35
00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:46.310
And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to practice going from 9 to 3 or
36
00:01:46.310 --> 00:01:47.120
even a little
37
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.000
bit past, keeping that flexion in the lead wrist.
38
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.020
Now again, in the full swing, because of how my body braces that would cause it
39
00:01:56.020 --> 00:01:56.520
to come
40
00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:01.940
out through there, but in this slow motion training, this keeping the flexion
41
00:02:01.940 --> 00:02:02.600
is going
42
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:09.540
to force me to absorb the speed and the movement of my arm more with some of
43
00:02:09.540 --> 00:02:10.880
this rotation.
44
00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:14.780
So I'm finishing with my wrist vertical. I'm not just holding off this way. I
45
00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:15.080
tend to
46
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.140
find that a lot of golfers trying to avoid the flip are going to hold the wrist
47
00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:19.480
off
48
00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:23.400
this way and not allow for that natural rotation.
49
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.400
Trying to hold off the club from passing is literally like trying to do a wrist
50
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:27.760
curl
51
00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:32.660
with a 100-pound weight, 150-pound weight if you have 120-mile hour club speed
52
00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:33.880
or so.
53
00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:37.350
So you're never going to be strong enough to just hold it off and it wouldn't
54
00:02:37.350 --> 00:02:38.200
be advantageous
55
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:42.910
if you did. Instead, what you want to do is you want to absorb it with a bit
56
00:02:42.910 --> 00:02:43.360
more of the
57
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.070
reform rotation. So there it is with just the lead arm and now I can have the
58
00:02:48.070 --> 00:02:48.720
trail arm
59
00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:56.200
kind of shadow it or even apply almost like an open right-hand type drill.
60
00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:01.350
Now this one, where I've bent it and basically got it straight out in line with
61
00:03:01.350 --> 00:03:03.480
the clubface,
62
00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:08.680
this one you can actually train, if we get that in line with the clubface, you
63
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:09.640
can actually
64
00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:17.300
train hitting little 9-3 shots trying to keep that wrist in that connected
65
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:18.720
position. So
66
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:26.360
if I did this towards the camera here, you could see keeping that in connection
67
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:26.880
all the
68
00:03:26.880 --> 00:03:35.200
way through there is basically what I did on this little 9-3 shot. Get it in
69
00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:36.200
connection,
70
00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:40.180
keep it there all the way through, get good arm extension without collapsing
71
00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:40.960
the wrist.
72
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.720
If I then took that into a little bit bigger swing, you'd see that I would lose
73
00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:47.200
it but
74
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:52.880
I'm still trying to maintain that same connection. So if you're struggling with
75
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:54.280
having a look
76
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.470
like this where the grip is pointing at your body, the club has passed and I've
77
00:03:58.470 --> 00:03:58.840
got this
78
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.990
kind of broken down arm look, then try the hanger connection that will help
79
00:04:03.990 --> 00:04:04.880
create much
80
00:04:04.880 --> 00:04:11.130
more width in that follow through, which will help improve your low point
81
00:04:11.130 --> 00:04:12.080
control and your
82
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.680
3D flat spot, which should give you a little bit more consistent contact.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.720
This drill is coat hanger lead wrist training.
2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:10.150
So there's a training product out there called the hanger, which is a, as far
3
00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:10.760
as I know,
4
00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:16.460
an adaptation of a famous drill that I've seen a number of guys use to help
5
00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:17.140
train the
6
00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:18.140
lead wrist.
7
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:23.200
And basically keeping that flexion of the lead wrist longer into the downswing.
8
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:30.240
Now we know that through impact most golfers are going to lose that lead wrist
9
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:31.040
flexion
10
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:33.320
that's going to move towards extension.
11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.930
But in my experience most of that is going to come from how much they're using
12
00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:37.340
their
13
00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:40.280
body in their bracing strategy.
14
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:46.530
So for a small drill and working on getting better arm extension, a coat hanger
15
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:47.040

16
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.720

hanger
34
00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:41.600
