Connecting Trail Wrist to Motorcycle
Having two arms on the club can create challenges. Sometimes your brain wants to do the right thing with one arm, but it's blocked by the movement of the other. In this case, the trail shoulder position can make it more challenging to properly rotate the shaft during the downswing. This shaft rotation is important for low point control, compression, and sequencing.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.780
This video is connecting the trail elbow to the motorcycle. So many golfers
2
00:00:05.780 --> 00:00:11.880
struggle with kind of a scoop-flip combo down at the bottom like so and in
3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:12.280
order
4
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:15.480
to improve that pattern there's a few things that you have to do differently
5
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.000
with the arms. One of the main ones is working on the motorcycle. Well there's
6
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.960
a position around relationship between where that trail arm is and how well
7
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.240
you're going to be able to do that motorcycle. So the motorcycle is the
8
00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:33.320
shaft wist and with the lead wrist that's going to be a flexion with the trail
9
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:38.440
wrist that's going to be an extension. Now if I get up and I go to extend the
10
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:42.360
wrist from this position I've got a fair amount of range of motion. Now if I
11
00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:42.720
was
12
00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:46.080
to put my arms and I'm going to exaggerate and put my arms way behind my
13
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:51.520
back you'll see that I'm somewhat limited in how much I can then extend that
14
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:51.840
wrist.
15
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.160
The more that I get the arm out in front the easier it is to keep that wrist
16
00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:00.520
extended and the more that it gets behind the more that the wrist will want to
17
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:00.640
go
18
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.720
into flexion. So if you're working on getting that motorcycle to happen but
19
00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:11.720
that trail elbow is getting more behind you then you may run into a problem
20
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:18.720
especially especially if you have really active arms. So if you have a lot of
21
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:21.640
grip pressure and you're trying to motorcycle when you get that arm
22
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.160
behind you you're going to be in a lot of trouble. So working on that
23
00:01:25.160 --> 00:01:25.640
motorcycle
24
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.120
combination with getting that right arm just a little bit more in front of your
25
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.520
body will help set you up for a club face position where you'll be able to
26
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:37.120
extend your arms on the way through without any chicken wing and without
27
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:42.320
any flip. That's why both of the trail both the trail elbow and the
28
00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:47.400
motorcycle are both components of the delivery position training. So whether
29
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.940
you're doing some delivery and goes, some stop drills, some pump drills. If you
30
00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:51.120
're
31
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:56.600
working on a good delivery position you're automatically relating the amount of
32
00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:00.360
rotation with that lead wrist to the position of the trail elbow but if you're
33
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:04.040
not training them together watch out for that trail elbow getting behind it can
34
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:12.160
be a big block for the motorcycle. It'll block it and make it look more like
35
00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:21.240
this. You may struggle with more toehood, toe hits. However if you do them
36
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:27.640
together big motorcycle arm in front you'll be able to get a much more
37
00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:33.960
penetrating ball flight and control low point a whole lot easier.
