00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
This combo drill is looking at combining right tilt with supination.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
So oftentimes when you're working on improving your swing, you have to work on two things

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
simultaneously.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
I call those combo drills.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
So in this case, we're going to work on the follow through position by working on right

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
tilt or basically as I come through that head on the pillow, getting that right shoulder

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
down.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
So early extension, and we're going to work on that with supination.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Because the combo of those two is what creates the look of that right shoulder down, but

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
the club kind of in line with the shoulders.

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Oftentimes, golfers circle with one of two areas in the follow through either.

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
They will have more of this pattern where the club is actually exiting kind of on plane.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
You see in order to do that, I stood up and kind of bent my arms lifting the club

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
that way.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Or they will tend to do more of this pattern here where again the arms bent, but this time

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
the club finished well under the plane.

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So I kind of pulled it around.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
In both cases, I'm lacking the supination and a little bit of the side bend, one case

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
more than the other.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So oftentimes, I'll have golfers once we've worked on both of them individually,

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
work on putting them together.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
So basically, getting into a good follow through position kind of like this where that

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
right shoulder is down, but the butt of the club is pointing in the direction of the

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
golf ball.

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Now, if my shoulder is down, that means that the butt of the club and my shoulders are

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
pointing in a similar position.

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So oftentimes, I'll start by having them hold the club out, arms are straight, and then

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
just try to get the shoulders and the butt of the club pointing in the same direction.

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And I'll usually add a little bit of owner deviation, so it's pointing more there instead

00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
of straight across.

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
So it's not going that way because in the actual release, it would have done more of that

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
pattern there, where it would have been out kind of like this.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Now, if I'm in this position from the down the line, that looks like the club face is

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
ridiculously closed, but then if I get that shoulder down and get it in the right position,

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
you'll see that it looks like it's turned slightly towards the plane, which is more

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
of a square full release.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So usually I'll do this as a 9 to 3, maybe 10 to 2 at first, because I want to hold that

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
follow through position to really emphasize which of the two pieces I need.

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
So if I'm focusing mostly on the shoulder being down, I would use one of the merry

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000
ground or head on a pillow or shoulder down or bracing or something like that.

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000
And then I'm going to combo it with feeling that full forearm rotation.

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,000
So we'll demonstrate, we'll go through a couple, start with 9 to 3.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
So in a 9 to 3, I should be able to stop and check that position.

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Now the problem with the 9 to 3 is I haven't gone all the way to that full end of my

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
supination.

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
So what can trouble some people is perhaps my arms were straight and I was just lifting

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
up so there was no rotation.

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
But then as I had speed, that would cause the club to exit more vertically or almost up

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
my neck.

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:36,000
So if I don't have any of that supination or lead arm rotation, then as I had speed, I can

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
almost guarantee that you'll start to add more and more of that early extension.

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
So let's do a 10 to 2, that'll be a little bit easier.

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,000
So now in that 10 to 2 position, I can take a look and see if my shoulders and the club

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
are pointing in the same direction.

00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,000
If they're not, if it's pointing more straight up and down or if it's way behind me kind

00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:05,000
of like this, then I know that I've done more of the movement at my shoulders and not enough

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
at the wrist and forearms.

00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:16,000
So let's do that again, 10 to 2, focus on the shoulders staying down with that good

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,000
supination, that supination helps keep the club wide, keeps those arms straight and

00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,000
allow me to stay in posture while still making solid contact.

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
So if you're struggling with your follow-through position, then I recommend either working

00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
on the body tilt or the arm rotation.

00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Once you have a basic understanding of both, then you should work on trying to combo

00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
them or put them together.

00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
That will ultimately get you over the hump and make it feel a lot more automatic because

00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000
you'll have two moves that are complimenting each other instead of possibly having one move

00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
that's fighting you while you're working on changing your swing.

00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,000
So one point I forgot to mention, as I go into the full swing, if I'm working on this

00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
supination, I'll be able to do more of a smooth release.

00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Anytime I tend to do more of this arm bending, I'm going to have a harder time finishing

00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
it tend to two because I'm going to be almost adding speed and momentum going up.

00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
I'm going to be bringing the club up with me.

00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,000
So oftentimes I'll have people try to do this in more of a slow motion fashion, trying

00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
to make really solid contact.

00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:37,000
If you do that, it will feel very smooth and wide and I'll like that on the way through.

00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And now I'll, that was more of a tend to two.

00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:49,000
I'll do it smooth and wide and not stop it tend to two but keep going through.

00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
So that can be a little bit of a diagnostic as to if the arms are bending or more rotating.

00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
While staying wide, you can move that momentum slowly as opposed to if they're bending

00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
and pulling in.

00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
You'll have a harder time stopping before you get to a full swing.
