00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080
This video is the continuous motorcycle so the motorcycle is starting the

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:11.520
clubface rotating but I often refer to the motorcycle as looking at shaft

3
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:16.320
rotation. So there are two major ways that golfers square the clubface and the

4
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.520
golf swing. One is having the club pass my hands so you can see if I'm right

5
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:22.800
here

6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.880
the club is pointing out towards the camera. If I keep my grip here let the

7
00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:33.240
club pass now it's pointed at the wall and then if I keep my grip there let it

8
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.760
pass now it's pointed directly behind me. So compared to the target by letting

9
00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:38.120
the

10
00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:43.520
club pass I changed the face location but I also totally changed the path. You

11
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:43.680
can

12
00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:49.280
see that in order to move the clubface I had to move the entire club. The other

13
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.960
option is clubface rotation so right now that is pointing at the wall and now

14
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:59.360
that's pointing at that wall. So I was able to change the clubface rotation or

15
00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:04.800
alignment 90 degrees without changing the shaft. Obviously I don't need to

16
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:05.840
change

17
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:12.000
it 90 degrees or 180 or 360 in the golf swing I only need to change it 30 40

18
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.160
degrees. But many golfers who struggle with either having more of a forward

19
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:22.320
lunge or trail arm straightening or kind of picking the ball not getting a

20
00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:22.480
whole

21
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.800
lot of compression or potentially the the longer clubs not being able to stay

22
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:32.080
back. Frequently these golfers struggle with having the motorcycle movement or

23
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:36.680
the shaft rotation because that is just changing the face-to-path relationship

24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:42.360
without changing the path. So many golfers many tour golfers start that

25
00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:46.560
pattern with the lead wrist and the trail wrist kind of rotating the shaft up

26
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.840
here and then they continue and the pattern is that the clubface just kind of

27
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.480
rotates like this the entire downswing. What it what many amateurs do and what

28
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.360
tour pros do with a lot of their wedge shots is they don't rotate the club and

29
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:08.360
then they use more of that clubface passing to square the clubface. So if

30
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.820
you're struggling with the motorcycle sometimes it's important to see how it

31
00:02:11.820 --> 00:02:17.760
continues because I focus on it in the I use the word motorcycle and I focus on

32
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:23.440
it in transition of having that club start rotating early but many golfers

33
00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:29.240
stop that movement of rotating the club as they get down into the release. What

34
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.600
rotates the club when you get down into the release is more of the lead wrist

35
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:41.760
supination so letting that forearm kind of rotate so that the palm is facing up

36
00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:47.480
or the famous Jimmy Ballard catch a raindrop where that palm is facing up as

37
00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:52.620
opposed to palm facing down. So that continues the motorcycle from waist

38
00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:56.800
height through to waist height through. From the trail side it's going to be a

39
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:03.440
little bit more of the pronation as opposed to flexion of the wrist like so.

40
00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:09.200
So to continue the motorcycle movement during the entire downswing what that's

41
00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:13.640
going to look like is I'm going to start it with flexion and then as the club

42
00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:18.160
starts to unhinge now it's going to continue rotating in more of that

43
00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:23.920
supination style. So if I give myself enough room I'm going to start it with

44
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:30.360
that flexion of the motorcycle and then as I unhinge I'm going to continue that

45
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:37.640
supination in order to let the motorcycle movement continue down through the

46
00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:41.640
release. So many golfers start the motorcycle move but then lose it during

47
00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:46.600
the release. If you feel like you do the motorcycle or if you feel like you do

48
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:50.280
the arm shallowing and you focus on the motorcycle but you're hitting lots of

49
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:55.560
slices or balls that go curving off to the right know that it's impossible to

50
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.360
actually do the motorcycle movement and have a massive slice. You could hit a

51
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:05.400
little power fade but it's very hard to have the face get open to the path

52
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:11.920
since the motorcycle movement closes the face to path. So if you're struggling

53
00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:16.360
with that type of contact then you can work in some of these kind of pump

54
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:21.560
styles and you can just feel alright I've started it rotating and instead of

55
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:27.480
feeling my exact body part I'm just going to feel the clubface rotating and I'm

56
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:32.760
going to feel like it's just going to gradually rotate all the way down until

57
00:04:32.760 --> 00:04:38.520
I make contact with the golf ball and if I'm aware of it the changing movement

58
00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:38.680
is

59
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:44.200
going to go from flexing during transition to as it starts to unhinged

60
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:50.040
supinating on the way through in order to continue that rotating. So if you're

61
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.040
struggling with the motorcycle and/or your ball flight don't forget to continue

62
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:54.040
the

63
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.600
motorcycle movement as you work through the release drills because if you just

64
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.080
started during transition you can totally lose it with poor release

65
00:05:03.080 --> 00:05:07.000
mechanics and frequently the release mechanic that gets overlooked the most

66
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:12.440
is letting that lead arm supinate as you work through from that 9 to that 3

67
00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:15.000
position.
