00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Israel is free swinging supination. So free swinging supination is basically

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,000
learning to let the speed of the club go more into creating a rotation of the

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
forearm as opposed to creating some tension and preventing that rotation and

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
basically holding on and going into more of a block-hold chicken wing pattern.

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,000
A full release of allowing some forearm supination does more for improving the

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
path down at the bottom of keeping it getting wider as well as keeping it going

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
out to the right. That allows you to have more body rotation which also helps

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
create the flat spot down at the bottom. So many golfers who struggle with a

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,000
scuprelease or fat thin contact tend to have look a more of a look of like

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
this in the follow-through we're basically with the arm and shoulder and wrist

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
they're shrugging to hold the face open kind of like so. Many of these golfers

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
have adapted a stronger grip to get that poor release pattern to hit it

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
square and I find that training that lead arm supination in a nice relaxed way

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
we're free swinging way is a great way for changing this pattern now at the

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
bottom. Ultimately, golfers who work through this tend to find that they get a

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
lot more distance in it easier fashion. Okay so before I show the answer I want

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
you to grab a club and you're going to just swing the club in your left arm. So

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
you're going to hold it just like this and then you're going to swing the

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
club and then come back and look at the video and see how you did. Okay so

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
hopefully you actually went through the process and swung the club first

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
before I show the answer but there's a good chance even if you know the answer

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
if you're wired for doing it incorrectly you'll still do it incorrectly. So

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
did you when you swung it? Did you look more like this where it was basically the

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000
whole shoulder or did you look more like this? This would be swinging more from

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
the elbow and forearm mostly more from the forearm. Now if I'm doing it like this you'll

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
see that there's a fair amount of clubface rotation but when I do it in the

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
swing I'm hitting it early in the pattern so the clubface rotation doesn't really

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000
show up until way up there instead of down at the bottom but this movement here

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,000
like I said is a hallmark of the tour release as well as a key component for the

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
longer club component of the tour release. So now how am I going to put this

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000
into a swinging motion? So I've got this feeling of the arm rotating and the

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
slow motion version of the arm rotating is just like that single arm release so

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
the thumb is pointing away and then it's pointing towards and then it's

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,000
curling slightly up towards me so it kind of looks more like this as opposed to

00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
swinging more with the wrist extension and not a lot of forearm rotation.

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Okay so I've got that pattern coming up towards me free swinging. Now I'm going

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
to go to that end position put my right arm on and what I'll typically feel is

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
that in order to get into that pattern I had to maintain the extension of my

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
wrist and really extend that arm to get over there. So now I'm going to try and do

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
that right arm we're sorry that left arm swinging where the right arm is just

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
the long for the ride so to make it even less powerful in the right hand I'm

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
going to take my thumb and index finger off. Now I'm going to bring feet

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,000
together and I'm just going to try and let that left arm swing just kind of

00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,000
like so. Now this may go a little bit left if it does that usually means that I'm

00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:56,000
swinging into it too soon kind of like that instead of directing the direction

00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
that I'm swinging the handle a little bit more out in front of the golf ball

00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
from this face on camera. So more like that and then it will tend to go straight.

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Once I have this feeling with my feet together then I'm going to try and do the

00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
same thing with my feet in a normal you know seven iron golf posture. So now I'm

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
going to try and do that nice easy nine to three but focusing or a ten to two

00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:32,000
or you know half swing basically and I'm focusing on letting that left arm go

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
through this motion of rotating and then up towards me in a free swinging

00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000
motion. I will feel very little tension in my arms down at my down through the

00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
ball in order to let it swing that way and I may feel even a loss of control

00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
because I'm used to when it gets down at the bottom holding on and creating

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,000
more tension. I can't hit the ball solid that way but frequently creates fat

00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
thin contact and problems with low point control with the irons. So once I've

00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
done that in more of these nine to three's then I can try and go all the way up

00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,000
to three quarter or full length swings and try to just feel a little bit more

00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000
of that free release down at the bottom but now to direct it at the target I'm

00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,000
going to accompany it with the nice smooth pivot. What often happens is when

00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
golfers are first trying to do this they're trying to do it really hard with

00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
the arms and that causes the pivot to stall. So when you go up to the full swing the

00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
goal is to do it soft enough so that you can continue the body turning on the

00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
way through. If you do that it should improve your low point and energy transfer

00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
which should result in easier more solid contact for your second shot in the

00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
fairway.
