00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.840
This drill is training the motorcycle with a foam roller.

2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:10.000
So, the motorcycle movement or feeling the shaft rotation can be a subtle

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:10.780
experience for

4
00:00:10.780 --> 00:00:12.200
many golfers.

5
00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:15.580
Your hands are really close together and the object is pretty light, so

6
00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:16.460
sometimes it can

7
00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:21.180
help to separate your hands and use something that's a little bit bigger, so a

8
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:22.000
foam roller

9
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.360
works pretty well for this.

10
00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:28.790
I've got a green piece of tape just to help you visualize kind of a club face

11
00:00:28.790 --> 00:00:29.960
or an alignment.

12
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:30.960
Right?

13
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.560
Because otherwise you might not see how much rotation is actually taking place.

14
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.790
But what you'll do is you'll put what would be your normal grip, so you're not

15
00:00:39.790 --> 00:00:40.200
going to

16
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.530
grip with your hands perfectly parallel to each other, you're going to have

17
00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:45.200
them turn

18
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.480
in slightly.

19
00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:53.210
So, hands are turned in slightly or a little bit on top, kind of like this, and

20
00:00:53.210 --> 00:00:53.800
then we

21
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:57.560
can do it in either the 9 to 3 or we can practice in the full version.

22
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.970
And by holding the foam roller, you can train it at home, you can work on the

23
00:01:01.970 --> 00:01:02.520
big global

24
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.950
patterns, and you'll have to exaggerate the individual parts from either the

25
00:01:07.950 --> 00:01:08.440
left side

26
00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:09.920
or the right side.

27
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:14.460
So, here I am in my setup posture, I'm going to do the 9 to 3 version first, so

28
00:01:14.460 --> 00:01:14.840
I'm going

29
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.430
to take it back until the green line is pointing pretty much up towards the sky

30
00:01:18.430 --> 00:01:19.120
, and then I'm

31
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.450
going to flex my lead wrist and extend the trail wrist without letting the foam

32
00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:23.920
roller

33
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.450
remove, so this doubles as helping me make sure that I get my path staying

34
00:01:29.450 --> 00:01:30.440
consistent

35
00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:34.980
while I'm working on this face awareness, so I'm going to implement that

36
00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:35.920
motorcycle,

37
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.360
and then I can practice bringing that all the way through.

38
00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:44.170
Next we'll do the full swing version, or let me show the down the line before

39
00:01:44.170 --> 00:01:44.520
we do

40
00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:50.040
the full swing version, so now I can go to that waist tight position, get into

41
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:50.560
a good

42
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.370
little body delivery, and then implement that motorcycle movement, so you can

43
00:01:54.370 --> 00:01:55.100
see I'm turning

44
00:01:55.100 --> 00:01:59.730
it somewhere around 20 degrees, flexing that lead wrist, extending that trail

45
00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:00.240
wrist, and

46
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:06.200
now I can kind of pay attention to which of the two feels weirder to me, for me

47
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:06.880
the lead

48
00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:10.470
wrist feels very comfortable, the trail wrist feels like I'm forcing it a

49
00:02:10.470 --> 00:02:11.160
little bit or

50
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:15.570
feels abnormal, so that would be something I could use when I'm doing these

51
00:02:15.570 --> 00:02:16.200
practice

52
00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:17.920
drills on the range.

53
00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:24.440
Also, again, making sure that when I flex the wrist I'm not doing it like that,

54
00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:25.280
because

55
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.520
that would be changing both face and the path, I just want to change the face.

56
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:36.180
So now I can go up to full swing, and I can do that movement getting into that

57
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:37.400
good delivery

58
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:44.240
position, so up as I'm starting down with my lower body, so it's a very

59
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.080
versatile tool,

60
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.070
and it can help with a lot of the awareness of either the lead wrist or the

61
00:02:51.070 --> 00:02:52.080
trail wrist,

62
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.840
especially when you're training the motorcycle movement at home.

63
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.070
It may help you uncover which side to focus on more when you're working on this

64
00:02:59.070 --> 00:02:59.400
shaft

65
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.600
rotation, and that shaft rotation is ultimately helpful for working on your

66
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:04.120
sequencing and

67
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:05.880
getting your body open at impact.
