This is an oldie but a goodie. The whoosh is going to sound around where the club is reaching its furthest point from the body, if you are casting the club, then you will tend to hear it whoosh to the right of the ball or before impact, but if you are loading the club correctly, then you will hear it whoosh after impact. Keep in mind, that if you can do it in the drill, but have a hard time doing it with the club the right way around, then it’s fairly common that you have clubface control issues.

The drill is part of the cast swing pattern and this drill is to work on the timing of
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
when your arm is released. It's an oldie but a goodie. I've got my three wood here but it
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
doesn't really matter which club you have but it'll be more dramatic if you use something
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
longer and with a lighter shaft. So I'm going to use the three wood but I'm going to turn
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
the club upside down so that I'm gripping it towards the club head. The the Wush drill
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,000
is basically seeing where or listening for where you hear the Wush when you take a full swing.
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
If I were to take a full swing and to release my arms early you will hear that the Wush
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
started somewhere in here and then kind of culminated close to the golf ball. If I was to do
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000
a good transition move as we learned in the transition section where my lower body leads
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000
and I delay when my arms release until down close to the golf ball or to the release
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
what you'll see or what you'll hear is that the Wush almost started at the golf ball and
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,000
then reached its peak speed where peaks sound somewhere in here. That's a little bit better
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,000
energy transfer both in terms of the path of it as well as how much speed is going to be
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
actually imparted into the golf ball. So you can take the handle and turn it upside down
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
and you can kind of practice taking some swings and just hear where that sound is coming from
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
and know that that sound is going to correlate with when you are releasing the rider left arm.
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
So the longer you can kind of hold off the easier it'll be to get the Wush out here. Now what usually
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
happens is if you can get a Wush here but you can't do it when you have the golf club in your
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:51,000
hand you're probably having trouble squaring the club face with either transition or release
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
the screwdriver or the motorcycle movements. Okay so if you can do it here and you have trouble
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
on the when the golf ball there on the range look at how you're squaring the club face but
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
if you have trouble on the range and you have trouble here first get the Wush sound in the
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
right place. That'll help with your sequencing which will be a big contributor consistency
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
and power.
