This drill is the doorknob shoulder blade lock. So this drill

1
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:11.600
is designed to get some external rotation,

2
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:14.400
but wall keeping the trail arm in front

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.300
of your pack oftentimes golfers struggle when

4
00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:20.300
trying to get external rotation where they

5
00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:24.200
kind of Bring It Around them to the side kind of like this. So more

6
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:26.400
recent than that or more recently

7
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.200
instead of using the idea of kind of losing an arm

8
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:32.100
wrestling which I think can potentially encourage that I've been using

9
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.000
more this image of imagine that you

10
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.000
are turning a doorknob but from your shoulder, so you'll see

11
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.600
I'm not doing this this would be just turning my forearm, but

12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:42.800
I'm turning

13
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:47.300
The door knob or turning my hand from shoulder movement.

14
00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:50.700
When I do that, I can feel that the shoulder is kind

15
00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.100
of like packing in more or less like that.

16
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:54.000
So now

17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.800
That packing in movement makes it a more solid transmission

18
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.200
from my body

19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.400
rotation. So if I put my arm up like

20
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.600
this and I don't have it packed in as

21
00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:10.600
I turn I can try to keep it in front, but it feels

22
00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:13.200
like I'm working my shoulder a lot and I

23
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.700
can feel like a little float like a little separation. So

24
00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:19.400
now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to turn the door knob.

25
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:24.000
Like that, and now I feel as I move my body my

26
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:26.200
shoulder transfers all

27
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.300
that Force into the club or into my hands. So the

28
00:01:29.300 --> 00:01:32.300
places the two places where this

29
00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:35.300
tends to be the most relevant are ending the

30
00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:38.500
top of the backswing and going into transition. That's where

31
00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:41.200
most of the time golfers get away

32
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.400
from this shoulder movement and most common is they

33
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.100
tend to elevate or raise the shoulder kind of

34
00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:50.600
like this which tends the kick the arm what looks

35
00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:53.300
like internal rotation, but it's really more of a shoulder movement

36
00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:56.300
and that tends to steepen the club kind of

37
00:01:56.300 --> 00:01:59.300
like this feels powerful but creates a whole host

38
00:01:59.300 --> 00:02:02.900
of timing and consistency issues. So first we're

39
00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:05.600
going to work on the the feeling

40
00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:08.500
of transition. So we're gonna do a single

41
00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:11.500
arm drill where we're gonna hold on with the right arm. We're

42
00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:14.400
gonna lock in that set up and we're

43
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.400
just gonna feel like that shoulder stays connected.

44
00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:20.500
All the way through especially their in transition.

45
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:23.300
In fact, what I like to coach the students

46
00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:26.300
to do is to feel like you turn it and then

47
00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:29.000
in transition, you're gonna feel like you turn it

48
00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:29.800
more now remember

49
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.000
If I have a laser beam pointing out of my chest, I'm turning

50
00:02:34.100 --> 00:02:37.200
it kind of like this. I'm not turning it

51
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.700
like that where it's getting left behind and and yes that's

52
00:02:40.700 --> 00:02:44.400
going in external rotation. But the shoulder is also disconnecting when

53
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.000
the left arm is on the club and you add

54
00:02:46.700 --> 00:02:49.700
speed it's gonna almost always go into that movement. So we're

55
00:02:49.700 --> 00:02:52.600
gonna feel this transition movement

56
00:02:52.600 --> 00:02:55.500
where it rotates a

57
00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:58.000
little bit but stays in front. So this is kind of

58
00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:01.300
that shark's fin idea that I like to do on the release.

59
00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:05.700
Kind of feeling that in transition. Okay. Second piece

60
00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:08.500
we're going to do is at the top of the Swing. So

61
00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:11.200
you notice on those I was doing you know, 10 to

62
00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:14.200
2. We're a little bit bigger than nine to three where this really

63
00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:17.300
comes into play is up here at the top of the Swing

64
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:20.800
oftentimes golfers who have a hard time getting

65
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.600
that shoulder to kind of lock in will tend

66
00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:26.300
to be a little bit more flexed. So

67
00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:29.500
there's a relationship between being able to lock in

68
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:32.800
that shoulder and being able to get into a good extension position

69
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.800
at the top of the Swing if your

70
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.200
body is more Flex Than You'll tend to do more of

71
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:41.800
the second half or more of the lift with the shoulder kind

72
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.700
of flying away or getting disconnected.

73
00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:47.700
So now we're going to do a right arm only backswing

74
00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:50.200
because that right arm only by holding it with

75
00:03:50.200 --> 00:03:53.400
just one arm. The shoulder has to work harder and it's easier to pack

76
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:53.700
it in.

77
00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:57.100
So we're gonna get that shoulder packed and then bring that left arm up

78
00:03:57.100 --> 00:04:00.300
and that's gonna feel like you have a lot more body rotation than

79
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:03.700
you're used to so now we're gonna do a

80
00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:06.300
top of backswing gonna feel

81
00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:09.000
where you're gonna feel like as you get up towards the

82
00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:12.500
top it tends to slow down and pack

83
00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:15.000
so often in a lot of sports you can

84
00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:17.000
stretch your arm muscles really quickly.

85
00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:21.300
But if you try to stretch your core tends

86
00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:23.400
to feel like it takes more time. It tends to feel slower.

87
00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:26.700
So if the shoulder stays more packed and

88
00:04:26.700 --> 00:04:28.600
you're ending the backswing with your core.

89
00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:32.000
The last part of the downswing in the first part of the

90
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:35.000
or sorry the last part of the backswing and the first

91
00:04:35.200 --> 00:04:39.600
part of the downswing it's gonna feel slower. It's gonna feel smoother. So

92
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.200
we're gonna emphasize a little

93
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:44.200
bit more of this slow smooth Tempo to try to

94
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:47.500
give us time to feel like we turn the door knob

95
00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:50.700
up at the top of the swing. Like I said this seems

96
00:04:50.700 --> 00:04:53.200
to work a little bit better than say the Jazzy Jeff or

97
00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:56.400
the lose at arm wrestling for a lot of golfers because it

98
00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:59.200
engages more the shoulder muscles or the shoulder

99
00:04:59.200 --> 00:05:02.400
blade muscles. Okay, so we're gonna get that sense

100
00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:03.000
up at the top.

101
00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:06.900
And now we're going to feel like we recreate that position

102
00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:07.200
there.

103
00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:13.400
That will often help with getting

104
00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:16.800
the arms in front during transition because that

105
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.900
shoulder connection is one of the things that will prevent the

106
00:05:19.900 --> 00:05:22.400
arms getting behind the feeling stuck. So you can

107
00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:25.800
use the turning the door knob image for connecting

108
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.300
the shoulder to help with two key points where that shoulder

109
00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:31.400
can really disrupt your swing and mess up

110
00:05:31.400 --> 00:05:34.600
your timing causing fat shots thin shots or most

111
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:35.500
commonly pull shots.
