1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.960
Israel is free swinging supination. So free swinging supination is basically

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.440
learning to let the speed of the club go more into creating a rotation of the

3
00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:17.360
forearm as opposed to creating some tension and preventing that rotation and

4
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:22.010
basically holding on and going into more of a block hold chicken wing pattern.

5
00:00:22.010 --> 00:00:22.080
A

6
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.280
full release of allowing some forearm supination does more for improving the

7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.520
path down at the bottom of keeping it getting wider as well as keeping it

8
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.600
going out to the right. That allows you to have more body rotation which also

9
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.580
helps create the flat spot down at the bottom. So many golfers who struggle

10
00:00:43.580 --> 00:00:43.760
with

11
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:51.400
a scoop release or fat-thin contact tend to have look more of a look of like

12
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:55.920
this in the follow-through were basically the arm and shoulder and wrist are

13
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.880
shrugging to hold the face open kind of like so. Many of these golfers have

14
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:06.900
adapted a stronger grip to get that poor release pattern to hit it square and I

15
00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:10.920
find that training that lead arm supination in a nice relaxed way or

16
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.520
free swinging way is a great way for changing this pattern down at the bottom.

17
00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:20.100
Ultimately golfers who work through this tend to find that they get a lot more

18
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:25.880
distance in an easier fashion. Okay so before I show the answer I want you to

19
00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:32.720
grab a club and you're going to just swing the club in your left arm. So you're

20
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:36.520
going to hold it just like this and then you're going to swing the club and

21
00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:37.040
then

22
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.680
come back and look at the video and see how you did. Okay so hopefully you

23
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.520
actually went through the process and swung the club first before I show the

24
00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:48.810
answer but there's a good chance even if you know the answer if you're wired

25
00:01:48.810 --> 00:01:49.040
for

26
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.600
doing it incorrectly you'll still do it incorrectly. So did you when you swung

27
00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:59.720
it did you look more like this where it was basically the whole shoulder or did

28
00:01:59.720 --> 00:02:06.320
you look more like this. This would be swinging more from the elbow and forearm

29
00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:11.280
mostly more from the forearm. Now if I'm doing it like this you'll see that

30
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.840
there's a fair amount of club face rotation but when I do it in the swing

31
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.040
I'm hitting it early in the pattern so the club face rotation doesn't really

32
00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:26.800
show up until way up there instead of down at the bottom. But this movement

33
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:32.760
here like I said is a hallmark of the tour release as well as a key component

34
00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:37.240
for the longer club component of the tour release. So now how am I going to put

35
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:43.280
this into a swinging motion? So I've got this feeling of the arm rotating and

36
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:43.520
the

37
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:48.640
slow motion version of the arm rotating is just like that single arm release so

38
00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:52.640
the thumb is pointing away then it's pointing towards and then it's curling

39
00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:57.320
slightly up towards me. So it kind of looks more like this as opposed to

40
00:02:57.320 --> 00:03:02.760
swinging more with the wrist extension and not a lot of forearm rotation. Okay

41
00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:02.880
so

42
00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:08.320
I've got that pattern coming up towards me free swinging. Now I'm going to go

43
00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:08.400
to

44
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.200
that in position put my right arm on and what I'll typically feel is that in

45
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:17.240
order to get into that pattern I had to maintain the extension of my wrist and

46
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:22.000
really extend that arm to get over there. So now I'm going to try and do that

47
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.600
right arm or sorry that left arm swinging where the right arm is just

48
00:03:26.600 --> 00:03:30.250
along for the right. So to make it even less powerful on the right hand I'm

49
00:03:30.250 --> 00:03:30.360
going

50
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.040
to take my thumb and index finger off. Now I'm going to bring feet together and

51
00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:43.320
I'm just going to try and let that left arm swing just kind of like so. Now

52
00:03:43.320 --> 00:03:43.520
this

53
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:48.800
may go a little bit left if it does that usually means that I'm swinging into

54
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:49.000
it

55
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:56.640
too soon kind of like that instead of directing the direction that I'm swinging

56
00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:01.400
the handle a little bit more out in front of the golf ball from this face on

57
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:07.600
the camera. So more like that and then it will tend to go straight. Once I have

58
00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:13.040
this feeling with my feet together then I'm going to try and do the same thing

59
00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:19.320
with my feet in a normal you know seven iron golf posture. So now I'm going to

60
00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:26.480
try and do that nice easy 9 to 3 but focusing or 10 to 2 or you know half

61
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:32.800
swing basically and I'm focusing on letting that left arm go through this

62
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:37.340
motion of rotating and then up towards me in a free swinging motion. I will

63
00:04:37.340 --> 00:04:37.520
feel

64
00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:42.160
very little tension in my arms down at my down through the ball in order to let

65
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.680
it swing that way and I may feel even a loss of control because I'm used to

66
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:48.720
when

67
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.320
it gets down at the bottom holding on and creating more tension. I can hit the

68
00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:58.960
ball solid that way but it frequently creates fat thin contact and problems

69
00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:03.800
with low point control with the irons. So once I've done that in more of these

70
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:10.240
9 to 3s then I can try and go all the way up to 3/4 or full length swings and

71
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:18.080
try to just feel a little bit more of that free release down at the bottom but

72
00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:24.600
now to direct it at the target I'm going to accompany it with the nice smooth

73
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.120
pivot. What often happens is when golfers are first trying to do this they're

74
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.280
trying to do it really hard with the arms and that causes the pivot to stall.

75
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:38.560
So when you go up to the full swing the goal is to do it soft enough so that

76
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:38.680
you

77
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.360
can continue the body turning on the way through. If you do that it should

78
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:42.680
improve

79
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:48.960
your low point and energy transfer which should result in easier more solid

80
00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:52.840
contact for your second shot in the fairway.
