00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.680
this is the extreme shaft lean release drill so a lot of golfers struggle with

2
00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:14.960
getting shaft lean at impact that can either be from the arms being a little

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:20.840
bit too far behind or the wrist kind of being more extended or in a weak

4
00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:24.120
position kind of like this and essentially the club is more straight up

5
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.960
and down here rather than having some shaft lean and so I'll use this drill to

6
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.560
kind of help with blending the wipe into the release and work on the timing of

7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.910
some of those movements to help get some of this shaft lean. So we've got a

8
00:00:37.910 --> 00:00:38.140
little

9
00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:41.680
extra visual help for this drill. We're going to get used to having our hands

10
00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:45.840
well ahead and so we've got our alignment stick and then we've got a

11
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.600
ball position stick and then I've got this stick basically where if I was to

12
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.080
go and do like an impact fix and get my hands kind of even with the outside of

13
00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:58.920
my left eye I put it just ahead so that you could kind of see on the camera but

14
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:04.400
I'd have the stick pretty close to in line with that. So if I did it like right

15
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.880
underneath here in closer to where it would be the normal alignment I would

16
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:13.840
basically keep my hands in line with the stick and just try to use some owner

17
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:18.280
deviation and some supination to get the club to strike the ground. It's normal

18
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.840
just like the delivery and go the first few times they kind of like have some

19
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.600
body awareness issues that might cause some poor contact because you also might

20
00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:31.040
feel that in order to get the club all the way down to the ground you're gonna

21
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.320
feel like your body is a little bit lower or closer to the ground that helps

22
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:38.080
create some of the slack if you're doing it with kind of the turtle shell and

23
00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:45.800
anti-early extension type feel. Okay so we'll do a little demo here we're going

24
00:01:45.800 --> 00:01:50.560
to get into impact position we're gonna put the club basically in an extreme

25
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.640
amount of shaft lean and then from here we're gonna do our best to just keep

26
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:56.840
the

27
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.280
hands ahead and release more with the wrist. That was pretty good contact there

28
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.840
and it gives me a sense of the hands being like an extreme amount past the

29
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.720
golf ball as the club is starting to release and you'll see I have a little

30
00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:17.680
bit of body movement kind of the elements of my bracing strategy that I'll

31
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:26.440
use to complement the wrist just coming through kind of like that but on some

32
00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:31.120
extreme version some people who tend to get the club back here they'll pull the

33
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.040
grip around and they'll basically have no kind of movement of the wrist so

34
00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:40.000
sometimes what I'll do is I'll exaggerate that aspect and I'll just get

35
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.360
it into this position and then I'll try and just do kind of a wrist flick and

36
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.360
show that even if I scooped or felt like I scooped because my hands are ahead

37
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:48.560
if

38
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.880
we look at it on video we're not going to see a scoop you're just going to see

39
00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:56.480
more of a wrist release kind of matching up on the way through and into the

40
00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:01.240
follow through so that's step one and then step two would be now to get there

41
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.640
from a 9 to 3 and this is where some of the white feels of basically now the

42
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:10.880
club is kind of wide there so I'm gonna try and get the club in front here and

43
00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:17.240
then feel like the wrist release once the hands get ahead of the golf ball so

44
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.160
we're gonna do 9 to 3 a little bit more dynamically I don't mind if we do this

45
00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:27.240
as an impact fix first and then kind of bring it back and try to get there and

46
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:32.160
you'll hear some very solid contact this ball might fly a lot lower than you're

47
00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:37.160
used to but you also might feel the sweet spot on a iron shot for the first

48
00:03:37.160 --> 00:03:43.120
time so now we'll do it so we did the the impact version now we'll do one where

49
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:48.480
we just do it from a 9 to 3 where we're gonna bring it back I was a little bit

50
00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:55.280
slidey and early on that one but still got the general theme of it so then we

51
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.520
did the extreme version we did the 9 to 3 then we can do 10 to 2 or full and

52
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:00.760
when

53
00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:04.360
we do the full this is now where you're gonna have to feel like there's a lot

54
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:10.960
more kind of delay in letting the the wrist go if you are someone who tends to

55
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.180
really downcock the wrist and get back this way and you're working on getting

56
00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:20.560
ulnar deviation this can be a little bit of a challenge really get the timing

57
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:20.640
of

58
00:04:20.640 --> 00:04:26.920
the ulnar deviation while the arms are still working forward but it's more of

59
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.840
what's happening at the shoulder so it's definitely doable and it can help kind

60
00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:35.960
of connect the two connect the ulnar deviation and the white okay so now

61
00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:43.520
we'll do more of like 80 percent ten o'clock something like that trying to get

62
00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:48.680
them ahead and again the whole goal it will feel like you're delaying the

63
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.840
release and getting your hands further ahead that's the general purpose to help

64
00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:55.480
you uncover what shaft lean can really feel like so if you're struggling with

65
00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:02.200
getting shaft lean on impact it's kind of looking like this or like this where

66
00:05:02.200 --> 00:05:05.960
the arms are just well behind the golf ball use a little visual in this

67
00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:10.560
extreme drill in order to get more comfortable how you would release when

68
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.920
you got into that shaft lean position
