This drill is flipper hug. So flipper hug is for

1
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:11.500
work. For those of you who have more of kind of a pull and chicken

2
00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:14.600
wing down in the bottom that can be a frustrating pattern where

3
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:17.600
basically your arms are bending and collapsing

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.400
and what we would see on 3D is as you

5
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:23.600
get towards impact the space between your elbows is

6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.500
actually increasing where on average

7
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:29.400
the tour Pros are going to have the space

8
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:33.300
decrease. I've seen as much as seven eight inches

9
00:00:32.300 --> 00:00:36.100
where the elbows are getting closer through

10
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:38.600
that release pattern and reaching their narrowest point

11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.400
right around here. So the flipper hug

12
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:44.300
is the idea of both arms kind of meeting in

13
00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:47.400
the middle as we're releasing.

14
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.000
So for a lot of golfers who have more of a

15
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:54.300
chicken wing pattern, what would happen is the arms kind of pull in

16
00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:58.600
and behind on a more like this done

17
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.000
at the right time that helps Propel or

18
00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:04.900
throw the club head past but it

19
00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:07.300
prevents your body from doing a lot of good things.

20
00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:10.300
It causes the club to pass too soon and

21
00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:13.400
it really deprives the lengthening that creates the flat spot.

22
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.000
So it comes more inconsistent you usually get a

23
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.300
lot of toe hits but

24
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:22.300
Regardless of what kind of feedback you're getting if you see it on

25
00:01:22.300 --> 00:01:25.100
video that your arm is kind of finishing behind you like this.

26
00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:28.900
This can be a helpful drill or image. So the

27
00:01:28.900 --> 00:01:31.400
flipper hog is basically you're gonna pretend you're

28
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.400
a penguin. So your arms are straight and then you're gonna try and bring

29
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.900
your arms across more like this. And now

30
00:01:37.900 --> 00:01:40.300
I usually like to then get the back

31
00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:43.900
of your hands touching kind of like that. And now those

32
00:01:43.900 --> 00:01:46.300
elbows are really close together. I'm gonna

33
00:01:46.300 --> 00:01:49.300
take that position and bring it into the follow-through and you're just gonna ask

34
00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:52.100
yourself which flipper feels more different. Is it more

35
00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:55.100
that the left arm is across your body. That's the more common

36
00:01:55.100 --> 00:01:58.700
one or is it more than the right arm is a cross your body because when

37
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:01.300
it goes a part like this the arms

38
00:02:01.300 --> 00:02:04.100
are either away or behind and so this kind of

39
00:02:04.100 --> 00:02:07.800
helps you feel the the right word

40
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:08.800
to use for your brain.

41
00:02:09.700 --> 00:02:12.200
So now timing we're going to try to get

42
00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:14.800
the flipper hug feeling from right around here.

43
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.000
All the way until there. In fact,

44
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.200
I'll sometimes do it all the way up into more of a 10 to 2

45
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:25.300
style where we're getting well into the finish. So we're

46
00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:27.700
first going to do this as more of a kind of

47
00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:30.400
a broken or a stop drill where we're

48
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.900
just going to get into that position there.

49
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.000
And then from there we're gonna feel like we squeeze

50
00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:40.600
those arms together and especially that

51
00:02:40.600 --> 00:02:43.300
left arm staying more across your

52
00:02:43.300 --> 00:02:43.500
body.

53
00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:46.800
at the extreme version

54
00:02:48.700 --> 00:02:51.600
I will tend to try to have them meet over

55
00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:54.300
on the right side of the body more like this. If you really

56
00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:57.300
have a big kind of chicken wing pull pattern

57
00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:00.300
that releasing more

58
00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:03.700
on the right side of your body kind of like this as I

59
00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:06.100
then got down and turned my

60
00:03:06.100 --> 00:03:09.500
body actually get to closer to more in

61
00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:12.700
the midline, especially if you're used to bringing the

62
00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:15.200
arms across like here then if I did have

63
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:18.700
some turn you could see that really big narranous and and chicken

64
00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:19.000
wing pattern.

65
00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:23.200
So let's do another of this flipper hug.

66
00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:26.900
We're kind of this arm is feeling like it's working across or

67
00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:27.200
the

68
00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:31.200
The arms are squeezing more along the right

69
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:34.500
side of the body kind of like that. So a little nine to

70
00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:37.000
three 10 to 10 to 2ish. We're gonna

71
00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:40.200
spin it back and you'll see there. Those arms are close together

72
00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:43.200
and it's a little bit more kind of off to the right side

73
00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:43.600
of your body.

74
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:47.600
So if you struggle with a chicken wing, really Diggy contact tow

75
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:50.400
hits poles or just the general

76
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.400
inconsistency that comes from the look of these this

77
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.500
being narrow on the way through then work

78
00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:59.700
on your flipper hug. That's a feeling of the shoulder squeezing

79
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:02.400
together or the elbow squeezing together

80
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.500
during the release pattern getting into the

81
00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:08.400
closest position pretty much at your

82
00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:12.700
Follow through position right there and then keeping them close if

83
00:04:12.700 --> 00:04:15.300
you start working at Mooring up into your full finish.
