00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This drill is coat hanger lead wrist training.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So there's a training product out there called the hanger,

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
which is as far as I know, an adaptation of a famous drill

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
that I've seen a number of guys use to help train the lead wrist.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
And basically keeping that flexion of the lead wrist

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
longer into the downswing.

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Now, we know that through impact,

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
most golfers are going to lose that lead wrist flexion

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
that's going to move towards extension.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
But in my experience, most of that is going to come from

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
how much they're using their body in their bracing strategy.

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
So for a small drill and working on getting better arm extension,

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
a coat hanger helps with your visual as well as your tactile feel.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
So I've got two different versions here.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
This is just the classic coat hanger for at home training,

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
which I really like.

00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And this one is a little bit flexible.

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
You'll see why I like that better than the really firm plastic ones.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
And then this is a wire coat hanger that I have taped to a club.

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
So the basic principle is we'll take the coat hanger here.

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And I'm going to grip it on the kind of the far side like so

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
so that I have the long side sticking up by my forearm.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Now, what I'm going to do here,

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
if I have just a neutral grip, you can see that this is off my forearm.

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
If I then go into the motorcycle movement and I flex that wrist,

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
you can now see that I'm feeling a little bit of force.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And this is kind of bending the coat hanger this way.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to practice going from

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
9 to 3 or even a little bit past keeping that flexion in the lead wrist.

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Now again, in the full swing because of how my body braces that would cause it to come out

00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
through there, but in this slow motion training,

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:08,000
this keeping the flexion is going to force me to absorb the speed and the movement of my arm

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
more with some of this rotation.

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So I'm finishing with my wrist vertical.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I'm not just holding off this way.

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
I tend to find that a lot of golfers trying to avoid the flip are going to hold the wrist

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
off this way and not allow for that natural rotation.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Trying to hold off the club from passing is literally like trying to do a wrist curl with

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,000
a 100 pound weight, 150 pound weight if you have 120 mile an hour club as a speed or so.

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
So you're never going to be strong enough to just hold it off and it wouldn't be advantageous

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
if you did.

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Instead what you want to do is you want to absorb it with a bit more of the forearm rotation.

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
So there it is with just the lead arm and now I can have the trail arm kind of shadow

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:56,000
it or even apply almost like an open right hand side drill.

00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Now this one, where I've bent it and basically got it straight out in line with the club

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
face.

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,000
This one you can actually train if we get that in line with the club face.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:17,000
You can actually train hitting little 9 to 3 shots trying to keep that wrist in that

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
connected position.

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So if I did this towards the camera here you could see keeping that in connection all the

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
way through there.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Basically what I did on this little 9 to 3 shot get it in connection.

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Keep it there all the way through.

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Get good arm extension without collapsing the wrist.

00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:47,000
If I then took that into a little bit bigger swing you'd see that I would lose it but

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
I'm still trying to maintain that same connection.

00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
So if you're struggling with having a look like this where the grip is pointing at your

00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
body the club is passed and I've got this kind of broken down arm look then try the hanger

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,000
connection that will help create much more width in that follow through which will

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
help improve your low point control and your 3D flashbot which should give you a little

00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
bit more consistent contact.
