00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.440
This combo drill is looking at combining right tilt with supination.

2
00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:13.840
So oftentimes when you're working on improving your swing, you have to work on

3
00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:14.320
two things

4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:15.320
simultaneously.

5
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.680
I call those combo drills.

6
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:22.050
So in this case, we're going to work on the follow through position by working

7
00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:22.780
on right

8
00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:26.910
tilt or basically as I come through that head on the pillow, getting that right

9
00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:27.520
shoulder

10
00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:28.520
down.

11
00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:33.820
So early extension and we're going to work on that with supination because the

12
00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:34.280
combo

13
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:40.870
of those two is what creates the look of that right shoulder down, but the club

14
00:00:40.870 --> 00:00:41.360
kind

15
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:45.040
of in line with the shoulders.

16
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:49.720
Oftentimes golfers struggle with one of two areas in the follow through either.

17
00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:53.730
They will have more of this pattern where the club is actually exiting kind of

18
00:00:53.730 --> 00:00:54.400
on plane.

19
00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:59.700
You see in order to do that, I stood up and kind of bent my arms, lifting the

20
00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:00.200
club that

21
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:06.320
way or they will tend to do more of this pattern here where again, the arms

22
00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:07.760
bent, but this

23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.680
time the club finished well under the plane.

24
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.160
So I kind of pulled it around.

25
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:19.160
In both cases, I'm lacking the supination and a little bit of the side bend,

26
00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:19.920
one case

27
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.480
more than the other.

28
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.870
So oftentimes I'll have golfers once we've worked on both of them individually,

29
00:01:25.870 --> 00:01:26.200
work

30
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.680
on putting them together.

31
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.130
So basically getting into a good follow through position kind of like this

32
00:01:32.130 --> 00:01:33.200
where that right

33
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.640
shoulder is down, but the butt of the club is pointing in the direction of the

34
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.720
golf ball.

35
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:42.650
Now if my shoulder is down, that means that the butt of the club and my

36
00:01:42.650 --> 00:01:43.360
shoulders are

37
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.440
pointing in a similar position.

38
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:48.830
So oftentimes I'll start by having them hold the club out, arms are straight

39
00:01:48.830 --> 00:01:49.560
and then just

40
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.050
try to get the shoulders and the butt of the club pointing in the same

41
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:52.720
direction.

42
00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:55.620
And I'll usually add a little bit of ulnar deviation, so it's pointing more

43
00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:56.280
there instead

44
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.080
of straight across.

45
00:01:58.080 --> 00:02:02.510
So it's not going that way because in the actual release, it would have done

46
00:02:02.510 --> 00:02:03.040
more of

47
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.840
that pattern there where it would have been out kind of like this.

48
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.980
Now if I'm in this position from the down the line, that looks like the club

49
00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:11.440
face is

50
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:13.200
ridiculously closed.

51
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:17.060
But then if I get that shoulder down and get it in the right position, you'll

52
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:17.800
see that

53
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.940
it looks like it's turned slightly towards the plane which is more of a square

54
00:02:21.940 --> 00:02:23.880
full release.

55
00:02:23.880 --> 00:02:30.340
So usually I'll do this as a 9 to 3, maybe 10 to 2 at first because I want to

56
00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.000
hold that

57
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.120
follow through position to really emphasize which of the two pieces I need.

58
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.530
So if I'm focusing mostly on the shoulder being down, I would use one of the

59
00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:41.520
merry-go-round

60
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:46.920
or head on a pillow or shoulder down or bracing or something like that.

61
00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:52.680
And then I'm going to combo it with feeling that full forearm rotation.

62
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:59.280
So we'll demonstrate, we'll go through a couple, start with 9 to 3.

63
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:05.240
So in a 9 to 3, I should be able to stop and check that position.

64
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.980
Now the problem with the 9 to 3 is I haven't gone all the way to that full end

65
00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:12.360
of my supination.

66
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.970
So what can trouble some people is perhaps my arms were straight and I was just

67
00:03:17.970 --> 00:03:18.720
lifting

68
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:21.100
up so there was no rotation.

69
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:26.240
But then as I add speed, that would cause the club to exit more vertically or

70
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:26.400
almost

71
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.200
up my neck.

72
00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:34.890
So if I don't have any of that supination or lead arm rotation, then as I add

73
00:03:34.890 --> 00:03:35.560
speed,

74
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.040
I can almost guarantee that you'll start to add more and more of that early

75
00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:39.800
extension.

76
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.960
So let's do a 10 to 2, that'll be a little bit easier.

77
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:50.100
So now in that 10 to 2 position, I can take a look and see if my shoulders and

78
00:03:50.100 --> 00:03:50.560
the club

79
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.320
are pointing in the same direction.

80
00:03:53.320 --> 00:03:57.680
If they're not, if it's pointing more straight up and down, or if it's way

81
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:58.600
behind me kind

82
00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:04.270
of like this, then I know that I've done more of the movement at my shoulders

83
00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:05.080
and not enough

84
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.520
at the wrist and forearms.

85
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:15.580
So let's do that again, 10 to 2 focus on the shoulders staying down with that

86
00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:17.800
good supination.

87
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.230
That supination helps keep the club wide, keeps those arms straight and allows

88
00:04:23.230 --> 00:04:23.520
me to

89
00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:29.520
stay in posture while still making solid contact.

90
00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:33.850
So if you're struggling with your follow through position, then I recommend

91
00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:34.720
either working

92
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.920
on the body tilt or the arm rotation.

93
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.300
Once you have a basic understanding of both, then you should work on trying to

94
00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:44.000
combo them

95
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.520
or put them together.

96
00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:49.270
That will ultimately get you over the hump and make it feel a lot more

97
00:04:49.270 --> 00:04:50.480
automatic because

98
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.320
you'll have two moves that are complimenting each other instead of possibly

99
00:04:54.320 --> 00:04:54.880
having one

100
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:58.120
move that's fighting you while you're working on changing your swing.

101
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.580
So one point I forgot to mention, as I go into the full swing, if I'm working

102
00:05:02.580 --> 00:05:03.120
on this

103
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.240
supination, I'll be able to do more of a smooth release.

104
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.030
Anytime I tend to do more of this arm bending, I'm going to have harder time

105
00:05:11.030 --> 00:05:11.800
finishing it

106
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:16.120
10 to 2 because I'm going to be almost adding speed and momentum going up.

107
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.480
I'm going to be bringing the club up with me.

108
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.780
So oftentimes I'll have people try to do this in more of a slow motion fashion,

109
00:05:24.780 --> 00:05:25.240
trying to

110
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.680
make really solid contact.

111
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:37.400
If you do that, it will feel very smooth and wide, like that on the way through

112
00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:37.880
.

113
00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:40.160
And now that was more of a 10 to 2.

114
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:49.520
I'll do it smooth and wide and not stop at 10 to 2, but keep going through.

115
00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:53.470
So that can be a little bit of a diagnostic as to if the arms are bending or

116
00:05:53.470 --> 00:05:54.560
more rotating.

117
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.900
Once they're rotating while staying wide, you can move that momentum slowly as

118
00:05:58.900 --> 00:05:59.440
opposed

119
00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:02.880
to if they're bending and pulling in, you'll have a harder time stopping before

120
00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:03.280
you get

121
00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:05.760
to a full swing.
