00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.020
This drill is fluid release. So fluid release is basically trying to get a
2
00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:12.600
similar feeling from other sports into the release of the golf swing. So if I'm
3
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:17.960
doing a, I played a lot of basketball or tennis, played a lot of throwing
4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:18.400
sports,
5
00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:22.520
typically what's gonna happen in those sports. So let's take basketball for
6
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:27.480
example. If I'm shooting a foul shot, I'm going to basically load stuff and the
7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.760
release is going to be one fluid motion, even though the ball is gonna leave
8
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.780
right around here, somewhere in the middle of that motion. So if I was hitting
9
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:36.800
a
10
00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:42.040
tennis stroke, I'm going to hit here even though I'm making one motion from
11
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:42.480
here
12
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.220
until there. Well the same thing should happen in golf and essentially the
13
00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:51.480
movements that are happening during the release are going to be the body is
14
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:56.200
backing up slightly as it side bends. So I'm here and this body is kind of
15
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:56.880
going
16
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.720
into this firm left side or bracing. The right arm is going to be extending and
17
00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:07.200
the left arm is going to be rotating. So what I want you to try to do is while
18
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.880
you're working on the release, is to try to build it into one movement from
19
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:12.160
there
20
00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:17.630
to there. One movement from there to there. Now what I frequently see,
21
00:01:17.630 --> 00:01:18.720
especially if
22
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:23.830
you have an open club face and you have to find a way to get that square, is
23
00:01:23.830 --> 00:01:24.040
that
24
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.320
a lot of golfers will feel like the swing essentially ends at the ball and
25
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.800
those release movements will kind of flutter or almost stall as they get
26
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:39.240
closer to the ball. So when you're doing these nine to threes or when you're
27
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:43.890
working on the mechanics in order to get this fluid feeling of a good release,
28
00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:44.000
I
29
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.640
want you to try to get that feeling to go from one end to the other in one
30
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:50.040
fluid
31
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:55.120
motion just like you would in shooting a basketball, in throwing, in striking a
32
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.280
tennis ball. It's a common feeling that we have in a lot of other sports and I
33
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.640
want to make sure that my golfers have it. The common thing that's going to
34
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:04.840
feel
35
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:11.440
the weirdest is going to be this rotation of the lead arm. Now Ben Hogan
36
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:14.480
wrote about it. Lots of people have talked about this supination of the lead
37
00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:21.440
arm and I want to I want to stress the importance of the position versus the
38
00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:26.080
movement or the feeling. So even though I'm gonna start like this, I'm gonna
39
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:26.280
make
40
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:31.640
contact with the ball with a little bit more of a pronated wrist kind of like
41
00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:31.800
so
42
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.960
but it's going to be supinating. So that fluid release is going to be that left
43
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:43.640
arm rotating kind of like so but most of that rotation is coming from the arms
44
00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:50.600
extending. So it ends up looking a little bit like that where we have one fluid
45
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:56.680
movement from about waist height to waist height in the follow-through. So as
46
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.520
you're working on these movements, try to blend it into one movement from this
47
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.920
delivery position or waist height all the way until the follow-through position
48
00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.680
that will definitely help you with your consistency and quality of strike.

a

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:42.040
tennis stroke, I'm going to hit here even though I'm making one motion from
11
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:42.480
here
12
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.220
until there. Well the same thing should happen in golf and essentially the

3
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:17.960
doing a, I played a lot of basketball or tennis, played a lot of throwing
4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:18.400
sports,
5
00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:22.520
typically what's gonna happen in those sports. So let's take basketball for
6
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:27.480
example. If I'm shooting a foul shot, I'm going to basically load stuff and the
7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.760
release is going to be one fluid motion, even though the ball is gonna leave
8
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.780
right around here, somewhere in the middle of that motion. So if I was hitting
9
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:36.800
a
10
00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:42.040
tennis stroke, I'm going to hit here even though I'm making one motion from
11
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:42.480
here
12
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.220
until there. Well the same thing should happen in golf and essentially the
13
00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:51.480
movements that are happening during the release are going to be the body is
14
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:56.200
backing up slightly as it side bends. So I'm here and this body is kind of
15
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:56.880
going
16
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.720
into this firm left side or bracing. The right arm is going to be extending and
17
00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:07.200
the left arm is going to be rotating. So what I want you to try to do is while
18
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.880
you're working on the release, is to try to build it into one movement from
19
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:12.160
there
20
00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:17.630
to there. One movement from there to there. Now what I frequently see,
21
00:01:17.630 --> 00:01:18.720
especially if
22
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:23.830
you have an open club face and you have to find a way to get that square, is
23
00:01:23.830 --> 00:01:24.040
that
24
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.320
a lot of golfers will feel like the swing essentially ends at the ball and
25
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.800
those release movements will kind of flutter or almost stall as they get
26
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:39.240
closer to the ball. So when you're doing these nine to threes or when you're
27
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:43.890
working on the mechanics in order to get this fluid feeling of a good release,
28
00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:44.000
I
29
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.640
want you to try to get that feeling to go from one end to the other in one
30
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:50.040
fluid
31
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:55.120
motion just like you would in shooting a basketball, in throwing, in striking a
32
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.280
tennis ball. It's a common feeling that we have in a lot of other sports and I
33
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.640
want to make sure that my golfers have it. The common thing that's going to
34
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:04.840
feel
35
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:11.440
the weirdest is going to be this rotation of the lead arm. Now Ben Hogan
36
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:14.480
wrote about it. Lots of people have talked about this supination of the lead
37
00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:21.440
arm and I want to I want to stress the importance of the position versus the
38
00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:26.080
movement or the feeling. So even though I'm gonna start like this, I'm gonna
39
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:26.280
make
40
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:31.640
contact with the ball with a little bit more of a pronated wrist kind of like
41
00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:31.800
so
42
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.960
but it's going to be supinating. So that fluid release is going to be that left
43
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:43.640
arm rotating kind of like so but most of that rotation is coming from the arms
44
00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:50.600
extending. So it ends up looking a little bit like that where we have one fluid
45
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:56.680
movement from about waist height to waist height in the follow-through. So as
46
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.520
you're working on these movements, try to blend it into one movement from this
47
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.920
delivery position or waist height all the way until the follow-through position
48
00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.680
that will definitely help you with your consistency and quality of strike.
