00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840
This is training hands-in club out with a pool noodle, so many golfers who

2
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:06.880
slice the

3
00:00:06.880 --> 00:00:12.200
ball or pull the ball tend to have a very leftward release pattern.

4
00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:16.360
So oftentimes they'll say they can feel that they're getting really steep and

5
00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:16.560
they will

6
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:18.960
describe that they're getting on top of it.

7
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.200
But if we look at it from the down the line camera oftentimes at this

8
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:24.760
checkpoint the club

9
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.850
is just inside the hand so it's not in the outward direction which means that

10
00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:30.520
the left

11
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:35.560
word path is happening all from there down to the golf ball so it's only a

12
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:36.720
release problem

13
00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:39.520
it's not really a transition problem.

14
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.820
So what's usually happening is they're in an okay position there and then the

15
00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:45.720
grip freezes

16
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:51.970
and the hand releases or the right arm releases more like this and then it gets

17
00:00:51.970 --> 00:00:53.200
really underneath

18
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:54.640
like so.

19
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.880
So a checkpoint in the follow through is that the hands are just or the club is

20
00:00:58.880 --> 00:00:59.560
just slightly

21
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.680
outside the hands from a down the line target view.

22
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.690
So if I swing my hands out to the right that doesn't help me get the club out

23
00:01:07.690 --> 00:01:09.000
to the right.

24
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.300
What helps me get the club out to the right is having more of a soft rotation

25
00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:13.920
of the arms

26
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:18.120
while keeping the extension of the wrist as long as possible.

27
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:23.560
So basically coming through more like that as opposed to coming through the

28
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:24.320
ball more

29
00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:28.700
with a flip like that you can see that when I flip that gets the club swinging

30
00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:29.040
way to

31
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.850
the left when I hold it the extension of the wrist or the flexion of the lead

32
00:01:33.850 --> 00:01:34.360
wrist that

33
00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:37.000
keeps it going more out to the right.

34
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.580
If I then accompany that with body rotation I can get the handle to go to the

35
00:01:42.580 --> 00:01:43.320
left and

36
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:49.400
the club to stay out to the right gives me a very soft shallow ground contact

37
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:50.960
and ultimately

38
00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:55.600
gives me a very repeatable penetrating ball flight.

39
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:59.980
So if you are struggling with more of this outside in release here's how you

40
00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:00.520
set up the

41
00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:01.520
station.

42
00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:08.450
So I've got roughly in line with that flag and I put the pool noodle roughly in

43
00:02:08.450 --> 00:02:09.120
line with

44
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.370
my knees or a little bit outside of my knees so that if I had the club shaft it

45
00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:15.000
's just

46
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:23.820
inside but it's not too far out away so I'm bringing it relatively close to my

47
00:02:23.820 --> 00:02:24.760
legs just

48
00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:29.520
to make sure that if I scoop more like this I'm going to catch it.

49
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:36.010
I can always check with a down the line camera if the club is exiting well

50
00:02:36.010 --> 00:02:37.360
under my hands

51
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.720
like this and it doesn't hit it then it might not be in the right spot.

52
00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:48.900
So again you'll see even if I come into a decent position here if I release it

53
00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:50.280
more like this

54
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:55.230
I'm going to make contact with the tripod or with the foam noodle and I'll

55
00:02:55.230 --> 00:02:56.080
hopefully

56
00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.520
look something like that and there I hit my pole if I left the face open I

57
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:01.280
would have

58
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:13.060
sliced it if on the other hand I get into roughly that same position here and

59
00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:13.200
then I

60
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:18.240
maintain the extension of my wrist keep turning my body through you'll see the

61
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.200
club finish

62
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:21.880
more a little bit out to the right.

63
00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:27.550
Once I've got a feeling doing it in more slow motion shots then I can move up

64
00:03:27.550 --> 00:03:28.280
to three

65
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:35.040
quarter swings and ultimately full shots kind of more like that.
