00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.760
This drill is part of the cast swing pattern and this drill is to work on the
2
00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:11.520
timing of when your arms release. It's an oldie but a goodie. I've got my three
3
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:16.840
wood here but it doesn't really matter which club you have but it'll be more
4
00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:21.440
dramatic if you use something longer and with a lighter shaft. So I'm gonna use
5
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.240
the three wood but I'm gonna turn the club upside down so that I'm gripping it
6
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:28.920
towards the club head. The the woosh drill is basically seeing where or
7
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:34.600
listening for where you hear the woosh when you take a full swing. If I were to
8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.880
take a full swing and to release my arms early you will hear that the woosh
9
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.880
started somewhere in here and then kind of culminated close to the golf ball.
10
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:44.120
If
11
00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:49.880
I was to do a good transition move as we learned in the transition section
12
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:50.560
where
13
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.640
my lower body leads and I delay when my arms release until down close to the
14
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:01.520
golf ball or to the release what you'll see or what you'll hear is that the
15
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.600
woosh almost started at the golf ball and then reached its peak speed or peak
16
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.720
sound somewhere in here. That's a little bit better in energy transfer both in
17
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:16.520
terms of the path of it as well as how much speed is going to be actually
18
00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:20.400
imparted into the golf ball. So you can take the handle and turn it upside down
19
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.760
and you can kind of practice taking some swings and just hear where that sound
20
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.520
is coming from and know that that sound is going to correlate with when you are
21
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.200
releasing the right or left arm. So the longer you can kind of hold off the
22
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.760
easier it'll be to get the woosh out here. Now what usually happens is if you
23
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.600
can get a woosh here but you can't do it when you have the golf club in your
24
00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:48.480
hand you're probably having trouble squaring the club face with either
25
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:54.830
transition or release the screwdriver or the motorcycle movements. Okay so if
26
00:01:54.830 --> 00:01:54.960
you
27
00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:58.800
can do it here and you have trouble when the golf ball is there on the range
28
00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:03.520
look at how you're squaring the club face. But if you have trouble on the range
29
00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:08.280
and you have trouble here first get the woosh sound in the right place. That'll
30
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.140
help with your sequencing which will be a big contributor consistency in power.
