00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.800
This drill is called the hinge and hold, and it's very similar to the 9 to 3

2
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:05.280
drill.

3
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:10.000
We're just going to put our attention into our hands, so for those of you who

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:10.400
are more

5
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:16.000
feel, this will be a great drill for you to feel how the hands are releasing

6
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.520
from impact

7
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:18.520
to follow through.

8
00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:22.560
Now there's a whole section in layer 2 about the release, which we'll go into

9
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:23.160
this in more

10
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:28.760
detail, but this is kind of important for where you are, for giving you

11
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:29.360
something to

12
00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:30.860
focus on while you're practicing.

13
00:00:30.860 --> 00:00:36.610
So the hinge and hold is basically going to that 3 o'clock position, but having

14
00:00:36.610 --> 00:00:37.300
a little

15
00:00:37.300 --> 00:00:38.600
bit more of a wrist set.

16
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.770
And what I mean by wrist set is if you put your hands out in front of you, just

17
00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:42.080
like

18
00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:45.520
so, you're going to get that left wrist pretty flat and that right wrist

19
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.040
slightly cupped.

20
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:48.040
Just like so.

21
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:53.640
Okay, so you're going to set the hands like so, so that that left wrist is

22
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:54.440
pretty flat

23
00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:57.660
and that right wrist has a little bit of a cup in it.

24
00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:02.400
This is simulating where the hands would be at this point in the downswing.

25
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:06.180
From there, you're going to extend that right arm, but you're going to exagger

26
00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:06.860
ate and try

27
00:01:06.860 --> 00:01:11.600
to maintain the angle in your wrist and trying to keep that left wrist flat.

28
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:16.710
So instead of finishing all the way at 3 o'clock like so, for this particular

29
00:01:16.710 --> 00:01:17.440
drill, you're

30
00:01:17.440 --> 00:01:22.610
going to try and hold it off just like so, which is why it's called the hinge

31
00:01:22.610 --> 00:01:23.560
and hold.

32
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.950
So I'll demonstrate a couple, again just for visual or just for an example

33
00:01:27.950 --> 00:01:28.820
purpose, but

34
00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:30.820
your job is not to make it look identical.

35
00:01:30.820 --> 00:01:34.850
Your job is to figure out your own way of kind of getting the main just into

36
00:01:34.850 --> 00:01:35.780
your swing.

37
00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:39.440
So working through that impact position and follow through, we're just now

38
00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:40.420
going to emphasize

39
00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:42.340
the hold for this particular drill.
