Connecting The Bracing To The Release
The release begins at delivery position, and what you do with your body and your arms have to compliment each other in order for your swing to work. Often times, if you are struggling with what the arms do, you can work on the body. If you are struggling with the body, you can work on the arms. By going between these two areas of control, you can understand, and train, the movement even better.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880
This concept video is connecting the bracing to the release.
2
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:11.200
So I talk about the delivery position defined that basically, or the fastest
3
00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:12.320
point where
4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.270
I get this handle moving in terms of miles per hour is kind of this delivery
5
00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:16.880
position
6
00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:17.880
right about here.
7
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:23.240
And then from that position, I'm going to transfer all that linear speed into
8
00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:24.080
rotational
9
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:25.080
speed.
10
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.440
And ultimately, it's that rotational speed that's going to help me hit the ball
11
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:27.640
really
12
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:28.640
far.
13
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.980
Well, often what can happen is there's movements that kind of complement each
14
00:00:33.980 --> 00:00:35.200
other and movements
15
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.440
that don't complement each other.
16
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:42.760
So I'm going to discuss a couple here that relate to this release for you.
17
00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:47.580
If you are working on trying to get the arm extension piece, so I'm working on
18
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:48.000
my flat
19
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.220
spot and I'm trying to get my arms to extend and kind of brush the ground and
20
00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:55.440
work through
21
00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:59.920
impact kind of like so, then what you'll need to see is that you need to make
22
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:00.640
sure that
23
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.400
the upper body is bracing against the lower body to help trigger that.
24
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.250
So typically what will happen is once I get to this delivery position, my upper
25
00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:11.720
body is
26
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:15.350
going to stabilize with an iron or with the driver, it's actually going to go
27
00:01:15.350 --> 00:01:15.880
even a little
28
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:17.640
bit further backward.
29
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.600
And in doing so, that's going to allow those arms to extend out.
30
00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:26.880
Just my upper body continues to drift through the shot.
31
00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:29.950
If I was to extend my arms, you could hear how that club is just going to slam
32
00:01:29.950 --> 00:01:30.400
into the
33
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.500
ground.
34
00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:36.690
And so what will happen is as I get down around the golf ball, those arms will
35
00:01:36.690 --> 00:01:37.400
bend to get
36
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:42.830
the club to brush along the ground, but it's not in as effective a manner as if
37
00:01:42.830 --> 00:01:43.920
I was to
38
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.600
have those arms extending.
39
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:50.960
So if you're working on these pieces, whether in 9 to 3 or pumps or full swings
40
00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:51.840
or whatever,
41
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:58.310
I want you to focus on having those, that upper body stabilized, that lower
42
00:01:58.310 --> 00:01:59.440
body brace,
43
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:03.080
so I get into this good follow through position.
44
00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:08.780
And using that to help those arms extend instead of just letting my upper body
45
00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:10.400
kind of drift.
46
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.620
So if you're struggling with either getting your arms to extend or your upper
47
00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:16.800
body drifting,
48
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.080
you can focus on the other piece.
49
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:22.200
If you're trying to get your upper body to stay a little bit more behind, focus
50
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:22.720
on those
51
00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:25.880
arms extending because those work together.
52
00:02:25.880 --> 00:02:29.840
Or if you're focusing on getting those arms extending, then focus on a little
53
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.360
bit more
54
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.400
of this upper body side bend, upper body more back because those two also work
55
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:35.220
together.
56
00:02:35.220 --> 00:02:40.040
So hopefully this helps you understand how these pieces in the release section
57
00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:40.920
work together
58
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:45.750
so that you can blend all these components into one movement that works for
59
00:02:45.750 --> 00:02:46.680
your golf swing.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880

7
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:23.240
And then from that position, I'm going to transfer all that linear speed into
8
00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:24.080
rotational
9
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:25.080
speed.
10
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.440
And ultimately, it's that rotational speed that's going to help me hit the ball
11
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:27.640

12
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:28.640
far.
13
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.980
Well, often what can happen is there's movements that kind of complement each
14
00:00:33.980 --> 00:00:35.200
other and movements
15
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.440

Or if you're focusing on getting those arms extending, then focus on a little
53
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.360
bit more
54
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.400
of this upper body side bend, upper body more back because those two also work
55
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:35.220
together.
56
00:02:35.220 --> 00:02:40.040
So hopefully this helps you understand how these pieces in the release section
57
00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:40.920
work together
58
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:45.750
so that you can blend all these components into one movement that works for
59
00:02:45.750 --> 00:02:46.680
your golf swing.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880
This concept video is connecting the bracing to the release.
2
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:11.200
So I talk about the delivery position defined that basically, or the fastest
3
00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:12.320
point where
4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.270
I get this handle moving in terms of miles per hour is kind of this delivery
5
00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:16.880
position
6
00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:17.880
right about here.
7
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:23.240
And then from that position, I'm going to transfer all that linear speed into
8
00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:24.080
rotational
9
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:25.080
speed.
10
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.440
And ultimately, it's that rotational speed that's going to help me hit the ball
11
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:27.640
really
12
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:28.640
far.
13
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.980
Well, often what can happen is there's movements that kind of complement each
14
00:00:33.980 --> 00:00:35.200
other and movements
15
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.440
that don't complement each other.
16
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:42.760
So I'm going to discuss a couple here that relate to this release for you.
17
00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:47.580
If you are working on trying to get the arm extension piece, so I'm working on
18
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:48.000
my flat
19
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.220
spot and I'm trying to get my arms to extend and kind of brush the ground and
20
00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:55.440
work through
21
00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:59.920
impact kind of like so, then what you'll need to see is that you need to make
22
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:00.640
sure that
23
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.400
the upper body is bracing against the lower body to help trigger that.
24
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.250
So typically what will happen is once I get to this delivery position, my upper
25
00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:11.720
body is
26
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:15.350
going to stabilize with an iron or with the driver, it's actually going to go
27
00:01:15.350 --> 00:01:15.880
even a little
28
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:17.640
bit further backward.
29
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.600
And in doing so, that's going to allow those arms to extend out.
30
00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:26.880
Just my upper body continues to drift through the shot.
31
00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:29.950
If I was to extend my arms, you could hear how that club is just going to slam
32
00:01:29.950 --> 00:01:30.400
into the
33
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.500
ground.
34
00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:36.690
And so what will happen is as I get down around the golf ball, those arms will
35
00:01:36.690 --> 00:01:37.400
bend to get
36
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:42.830
the club to brush along the ground, but it's not in as effective a manner as if
37
00:01:42.830 --> 00:01:43.920
I was to
38
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.600
have those arms extending.
39
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:50.960
So if you're working on these pieces, whether in 9 to 3 or pumps or full swings
40
00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:51.840
or whatever,
41
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:58.310
I want you to focus on having those, that upper body stabilized, that lower
42
00:01:58.310 --> 00:01:59.440
body brace,
43
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:03.080
so I get into this good follow through position.
44
00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:08.780
And using that to help those arms extend instead of just letting my upper body
45
00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:10.400
kind of drift.
46
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.620
So if you're struggling with either getting your arms to extend or your upper
47
00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:16.800
body drifting,
48
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.080
you can focus on the other piece.
49
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:22.200
If you're trying to get your upper body to stay a little bit more behind, focus
50
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:22.720
on those
51
00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:25.880
arms extending because those work together.
52
00:02:25.880 --> 00:02:29.840
Or if you're focusing on getting those arms extending, then focus on a little
53
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.360
bit more
54
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.400
of this upper body side bend, upper body more back because those two also work
55
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:35.220
together.
56
00:02:35.220 --> 00:02:40.040
So hopefully this helps you understand how these pieces in the release section
57
00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:40.920
work together
58
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:45.750
so that you can blend all these components into one movement that works for
59
00:02:45.750 --> 00:02:46.680
your golf swing.
