00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.000
This concept video is connecting shallow wrist to shaft lean.
3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.490
So the purpose of this video is to help you unify the wrist movements of the
4
00:00:12.490 --> 00:00:13.000
downswing
5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.000
into one of more of a single feel.
6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
Yes, oftentimes we have to train two different zones.
7
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000
A lot of golfers get off in transition and then they have to recover
8
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000
or they can be in a good position at the end of transition
9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.000
but then they feel like they have to release the club or throw the club
10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.000
or they lose it down at the bottom.
11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.000
So blending these feels of what helps shallow the club in transition
12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.660
are the same movements if you continue them to help create shaft lean down at
13
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:44.000
the bottom.
14
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000
So essentially to create some shaft lean, if I just got set up here,
15
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000
I'm going to extend the trail wrist and flex the lead wrist,
16
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.000
kind of like this, that puts the club back here.
17
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.000
And now if I brought the club a little bit more across, kind of like this,
18
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.290
then if I was to rotate my body, you can see that I magically have a bunch of
19
00:01:08.290 --> 00:01:09.000
shaft lean.
20
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.000
Well, those same wrist movements of going this way are what I want to start
21
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.000
have happening here in transition.
22
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.000
So as I go up to the top of my swing, my body is turned facing away from the
23
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:21.000
target
24
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.400
but still in a good centered position and the arms are in front of my peck,
25
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:26.000
kind of like this.
26
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.490
And now if I make those same wrist movements where my shoulder is kind of
27
00:01:31.490 --> 00:01:32.000
dropping down
28
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.000
to get into this delivery position or doing a little shoulder blade shallowing,
29
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.000
and the wrists are increasing that extension I was just talking about,
30
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:46.000
well now as I turn down, that's going to automatically create the shaft lean.
31
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.600
The main thing I have to time is more the timing of when my body starts going
32
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:52.000
into its bracing
33
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.000
rather than feeling like I have to time a throw movement.
34
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.000
So again, the two places where you'll likely get off would be in transition,
35
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.000
kind of throwing right away from the top or straightening that right arm
36
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.290
or going high with that right shoulder, or you could be in an okay position
37
00:02:10.290 --> 00:02:11.000
here,
38
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
but then have more of a feel like you had to throw it down there at the bottom,
39
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.550
which can often cause staying inflection and leaning backward and things that
40
00:02:19.550 --> 00:02:20.000
mess up your low point.
41
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:26.630
So with some practice, I can get this into a feel of just one fairly stable
42
00:02:26.630 --> 00:02:28.000
wrist movement
43
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.000
where I'm going to go up to the top.
44
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.000
I'm going to feel let's do a little Tai Chi version where I'm going to feel
45
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.000
really slow motion.
46
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.000
A little throw there at the bottom, not bad.
47
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:45.000
Sometimes it's hard in these slower ones, but let's give it another try.
48
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:50.000
So we're going to go up, we're going to feel a little bit better there
49
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:58.000
where the wrist movement is going to blend all the way down.
50
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.000
So this is often a concept or a kind of a feel that I'll give for golfers
51
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.000
who tend to have a lot more of a wrist flip or scoop down at the bottom.
52
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.000
So we're going to go up all the way through.
53
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:18.700
I felt like I was still increasing the wrist as I was getting some ulnar
54
00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:20.000
deviation
55
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.490
and body turned out at the bottom, but I was still maintaining that wrist
56
00:03:23.490 --> 00:03:24.000
extension
57
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.000
as the arm was extending.
58
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:34.000
Some people call it the flying wedge, but it's ultimately the same movements in
59
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:34.000
transition
60
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.040
that help shallow the club or bring the club more behind will ultimately give
61
00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:39.000
you more shaft lean.
62
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.000
So it's two different ways that you can look at it.
63
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:46.000
As you get more comfortable, we can start ramping up speed,
64
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.000
or we can start ramping up a longer swing.
65
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.000
So I usually start with some Tai Chi movement or slow motion swings
66
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:05.000
just to get the overall feel of what the shaft lean or the shallowing is going
67
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:05.000
to feel like,
68
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.000
and then we'll try to blend it together.
69
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.000
If you look at the video and you're struggling either in transition or impact,
70
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.250
we have a bunch of release drills as well as transition drills to isolate the
71
00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:15.000
key pieces,
72
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.000
but as you get better and work it more into your full move,
73
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.000
you want to work on progressing it to where it feels more and more like one
74
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.000
fluid movement
75
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.000
during the whole downswing.
76
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:34.000
Kind of like that.

This concept video is connecting shallow wrist to shaft lean.
3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.490
So the purpose of this video is to help you unify the wrist movements of the
4
00:00:12.490 --> 00:00:13.000
downswing
5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.000
into one of more of a single feel.
6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
Yes, oftentimes we have to train two different zones.
7
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000
A lot of golfers get off in transition and then they have to recover
8
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000
or they can be in a good position at the end of transition
9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.000
but then they feel like they have to release the club or throw the club
10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.000
or they lose it down at the bottom.
11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.000
So blending these feels of what helps shallow the club in transition
12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.660
are the same movements if you continue them to help create shaft lean down at
13
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:44.000

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000
I'm going to extend the trail wrist and flex the lead wrist,
16
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.000
kind of like this, that puts the club back here.
17
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.000
And now if I brought the club a little bit more across, kind of like this,
18
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.290
then if I was to rotate my body, you can see that I magically have a bunch of
19
00:01:08.290 --> 00:01:09.000
shaft lean.
20
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.000
Well, those same wrist movements of going this way are what I want to start
21
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.000
have happening here in transition.
22
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.000
So as I go up to the top of my swing, my body is turned facing away from the
23
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:21.000
target
24
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.400
but still in a good centered position and the arms are in front of my peck,
25
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:26.000
kind of like this.
26
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.490
And now if I make those same wrist movements where my shoulder is kind of
27
00:01:31.490 --> 00:01:32.000
dropping down
28
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.000
to get into this delivery position or doing a little shoulder blade shallowing,
29
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.000
and the wrists are increasing that extension I was just talking about,
30
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:46.000
well now as I turn down, that's going to automatically create the shaft lean.
31
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.600
The main thing I have to time is more the timing of when my body starts going
32
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:52.000
into its bracing
33
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.000
rather than feeling like I have to time a throw movement.
34
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.000
So again, the two places where you'll likely get off would be in transition,
35
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.000
kind of throwing right away from the top or straightening that right arm
36
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.290
or going high with that right shoulder, or you could be in an okay position
37
00:02:10.290 --> 00:02:11.000
here,
38
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
but then have more of a feel like you had to throw it down there at the bottom,
39
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.550
which can often cause staying inflection and leaning backward and things that
40
00:02:19.550 --> 00:02:20.000
mess up your low point.
41
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:26.630
So with some practice, I can get this into a feel of just one fairly stable
42
00:02:26.630 --> 00:02:28.000
wrist movement
43
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.000
where I'm going to go up to the top.
44
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.000
I'm going to feel let's do a little Tai Chi version where I'm going to feel
45
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.000
really slow motion.
46
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.000
A little throw there at the bottom, not bad.
47
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:45.000
Sometimes it's hard in these slower ones, but let's give it another try.
48
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:50.000
So we're going to go up, we're going to feel a little bit better there
49
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:58.000
where the wrist movement is going to blend all the way down.
50
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.000
So this is often a concept or a kind of a feel that I'll give for golfers
51
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.000
who tend to have a lot more of a wrist flip or scoop down at the bottom.
52
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.000
So we're going to go up all the way through.
53
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:18.700
I felt like I was still increasing the wrist as I was getting some ulnar
54
00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:20.000
deviation
55
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.490
and body turned out at the bottom, but I was still maintaining that wrist
56
00:03:23.490 --> 00:03:24.000
extension
57
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.000
as the arm was extending.
58
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:34.000
Some people call it the flying wedge, but it's ultimately the same movements in
59
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:34.000
transition
60
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.040
that help shallow the club or bring the club more behind will ultimately give
61
00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:39.000
you more shaft lean.
62
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.000
So it's two different ways that you can look at it.
63
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:46.000
As you get more comfortable, we can start ramping up speed,
64
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.000
or we can start ramping up a longer swing.
65
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.000
So I usually start with some Tai Chi movement or slow motion swings
66
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:05.000
just to get the overall feel of what the shaft lean or the shallowing is going
67
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:05.000
to feel like,
68
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.000
and then we'll try to blend it together.
69
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.000
If you look at the video and you're struggling either in transition or impact,
70
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.250
we have a bunch of release drills as well as transition drills to isolate the
71
00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:15.000
key pieces,
72
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.000
but as you get better and work it more into your full move,
73
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.000
you want to work on progressing it to where it feels more and more like one
74
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.000
fluid movement
75
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.000
during the whole downswing.
76
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:34.000
Kind of like that.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
[ Sound Effects ]
2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.000
This concept video is connecting shallow wrist to shaft lean.
3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.490
So the purpose of this video is to help you unify the wrist movements of the
4
00:00:12.490 --> 00:00:13.000
downswing
5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.000
into one of more of a single feel.
6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.000
Yes, oftentimes we have to train two different zones.
7
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000
A lot of golfers get off in transition and then they have to recover
8
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000
or they can be in a good position at the end of transition
9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.000
but then they feel like they have to release the club or throw the club
10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.000
or they lose it down at the bottom.
11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.000
So blending these feels of what helps shallow the club in transition
12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.660
are the same movements if you continue them to help create shaft lean down at
13
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:44.000
the bottom.
14
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000
