Connecting Arm Shallowing To Supination

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.190
this golf smart insight we're going to

00:00:02.190 --> 00:00:04.529
discuss the shallowing as it relates to

00:00:04.529 --> 00:00:09.320
supination so I I see frequently that a

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.509
lot of instructors are really big on the

00:00:12.509 --> 00:00:14.309
shallowing of the club during transition

00:00:14.309 --> 00:00:16.740
some of the mechanical research to back

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:18.330
that up was modeled by Sasha and

00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:20.939
Mackenzie presented with a with Chris

00:00:20.939 --> 00:00:23.119
Como in a video a few years ago so

00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:25.470
everyone says hey you shallow the club

00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:27.510
it helps create this passive torque that

00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:30.859
helps square up the face and all that is

00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:34.890
mechanically correct the the problem is

00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:36.750
I then see some of the same instructors

00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:40.079
advocating a hold off release or

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.829
advocating minimal supination so what

00:00:43.829 --> 00:00:45.690
I'm going to show you is that the whole

00:00:45.690 --> 00:00:49.410
purpose of this shallow move is to allow

00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:52.140
more supination or greater force with

00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:54.690
supination or allow you to supinate

00:00:54.690 --> 00:00:57.510
early so if you're teaching someone not

00:00:57.510 --> 00:00:59.399
to supinate i can actually make the

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.199
argument that it doesn't make sense the

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:03.510
shallow you should actually just kind of

00:01:03.510 --> 00:01:06.030
stay with everything in plane similar to

00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:08.520
what we would do in the finesse wedge

00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:11.369
swing where we have none of that shallow

00:01:11.369 --> 00:01:13.110
because we're going to square the face

00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:14.729
more with in-plane movement and we're

00:01:14.729 --> 00:01:16.530
not going to use as much of the

00:01:16.530 --> 00:01:21.299
supination during the release so the

00:01:21.299 --> 00:01:24.090
there was a video done a few weeks ago

00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:28.259
by Michael Finney at talking about the

00:01:28.259 --> 00:01:30.119
components of alpha and he was talking

00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:32.670
about the moment of force and that's

00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:35.220
really what we're talking about here and

00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:38.460
what this passive torque is when you

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:41.189
Supan or when you shallow in transition

00:01:41.189 --> 00:01:44.070
and the the moment of force is going to

00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:46.259
allow us to supinate either harder or

00:01:46.259 --> 00:01:48.689
earlier depending on how you want to

00:01:48.689 --> 00:01:52.500
look at it so but I want to explain that

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.079
moment of force they've they've used a

00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.430
couple analogies that I think are pretty

00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:58.170
good but just demonstrating with a golf

00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:02.909
club here right if I'm going to pull the

00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:05.159
handle and apply kind of a linear force

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.459
that way this club will want to line up

00:02:08.459 --> 00:02:10.739
with that force and basically it will

00:02:10.739 --> 00:02:12.750
want to move across just like this

00:02:12.750 --> 00:02:15.330
so if the club if the center of mass is

00:02:15.330 --> 00:02:18.360
way down here then when I pull it it's

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.860
going to want to move up towards that

00:02:21.860 --> 00:02:24.300
lining up basically with the direction

00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:26.460
that I'm pulling if I headed up here and

00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:28.710
I did the same movement yes gravity is

00:02:28.710 --> 00:02:30.660
going to help but if I was you know in a

00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:33.150
in a vacuum and didn't have gravity it

00:02:33.150 --> 00:02:35.190
would still want to move in that

00:02:35.190 --> 00:02:39.930
direction so what happens is when I have

00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:42.570
that shallow movement during transition

00:02:42.570 --> 00:02:45.620
now I can start supinating this forearm

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:48.780
earlier without having an effect so

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:50.670
basically as this is shallowing it can

00:02:50.670 --> 00:02:52.020
start supinating supinating pseudo

00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:55.500
mating and now it starts to move in the

00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:58.740
direction of supination if i kept it in

00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:00.950
a straight if i didn't allow that arm

00:03:00.950 --> 00:03:03.780
shallowing then what will happen is the

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:07.080
second I start supinating the the the

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.450
club is essentially going to move with

00:03:09.450 --> 00:03:13.740
it so I am a advocate of supination

00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:16.440
during the release I've never seen on 3d

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:18.870
a good release that doesn't involve a

00:03:18.870 --> 00:03:21.510
fair amount of supination so it makes

00:03:21.510 --> 00:03:23.160
sense to me that this arm shallowing

00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:25.650
allows golfers to feel like they start

00:03:25.650 --> 00:03:28.709
that really sooner we teach or I teach

00:03:28.709 --> 00:03:31.530
the different methods of that I think

00:03:31.530 --> 00:03:33.600
are common among kind of the great

00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:35.160
golfers and how they release the club

00:03:35.160 --> 00:03:36.690
how they do the Shaolin movement and how

00:03:36.690 --> 00:03:38.580
they work in transition but in this

00:03:38.580 --> 00:03:41.120
video I just wanted to kind of help you

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.860
with the thought puzzle basically if

00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:46.830
you're advocating this shallow movement

00:03:46.830 --> 00:03:49.200
during transition then what happens is

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:52.080
when you when you go normal and when you

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.120
start getting those things to line up

00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.580
it's allowing you to supinate earlier

00:03:56.580 --> 00:03:59.130
and harder which are good components of

00:03:59.130 --> 00:04:01.230
a release so if you're teaching more of

00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:03.390
a hold off release there's no real

00:04:03.390 --> 00:04:06.120
reason to then shallow during transition

00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.340
and if you're teaching shallowing during

00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:10.530
transition it should be to help support

00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:12.209
what you're trying to do during the

00:04:12.209 --> 00:04:13.799
release hopefully this helps if you like

00:04:13.799 --> 00:04:16.290
the way we break this down go over to

00:04:16.290 --> 00:04:18.030
golf smart academy and sign up for a

00:04:18.030 --> 00:04:19.890
free membership and you can take a look

00:04:19.890 --> 00:04:22.049
at a lot of the concept videos drill

00:04:22.049 --> 00:04:24.060
videos that we do to help explain these

00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:26.230
current trends in golf sciences and how

00:04:26.230 --> 00:04:27.880
can apply them to your game or the game

00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:30.570
of your students
