00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.810
This release drill is isolating Ulner. So Ulner deviation is the unhinged part

2
00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:06.940
of

3
00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:11.080
the release and sometimes it can get lost in the mix but it's a critical

4
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:16.000
piece for having that good extension on the way through because what you'll see

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.500
is if I hinge, which is radial deviation, if I or if I just don't fully unhing

6
00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:23.680
ed

7
00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.440
and what'll happen is it'll have a much more narrow look on this follow through

8
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:28.480
.

9
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:33.700
This can be much more important for driving you'll see Ray McElroy, Jason

10
00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:39.100
Day, Jim Furek, lots of really good drivers of the golf ball who have this

11
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:46.240
kind of late wide long look to it. Where that comes from is isolating this

12
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.880
Ulner deviation and one of the benefits to isolating that Ulner deviation is as

13
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:56.080
the club gets kind of in line now there's very little resistance to letting the

14
00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:02.680
club rotate, which also keeps my arms moving further away from me and gets

15
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:06.480
that good extension on the way through. So what we'll do is we'll do nine to

16
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.480
three drills and we're going to isolate this Ulner deviation and talk about the

17
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:16.680
timing of it. So from a face-on perspective, if I'm doing a nine to three

18
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.010
so I'm getting into this position, one of the first movements is going to be

19
00:01:21.010 --> 00:01:21.120
that

20
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:27.240
kind of Ulner deviation before that rotation happens secondary through the

21
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:32.760
ball. So this Ulner deviation and you'll notice it's not a cast movement so I'm

22
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.600
not flexing my wrist and I'm not straightening that right tricep. I'm just

23
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:43.640
lowering the club down towards the ground kind of like this. Now when I do

24
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.920
that what I would do in the actual swing is I would accompany that with body

25
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.560
rotation so that instead of it ending up here, behind the golf ball, the move

26
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:54.800
will

27
00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:59.840
finish here pointing at the target. So from the down-the-line view what you'll

28
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.320
see is if I'm in this waist height and I have a tendency to see the club kind

29
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:04.440
of

30
00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:10.540
get out there, that could be an okay body movement kind of almost everything

31
00:02:10.540 --> 00:02:16.040
except for if I did that again but now I add that Ulner deviation you can see

32
00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:22.120
that now the club is tracking on a more shallow path. So this is one of the big

33
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:26.450
shallowers it gets the club away from you, gets the club kind of down low

34
00:02:26.450 --> 00:02:27.080
allows

35
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.160
for side bend and rotation through the ball so this can be a key missing piece

36
00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:35.920
to a lot of players releases because what they'll tend to do is they'll want to

37
00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:39.840
kind of hold this the hands pretty much firm and pretty much in the exact same

38
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.170
position and then the club will get too high and so what I'll have to do is I

39
00:02:44.170 --> 00:02:44.360
'll

40
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.040
have to use my shoulders to get the club down towards the golf ball but you can

41
00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:54.040
see that that's gonna mess up some of the bottom of my swing and ultimately

42
00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:54.240
that

43
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:59.560
path. So especially if you get into a very good delivery position but then you

44
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.480
still struggle with kind of scooping the ball having a little bit of that

45
00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:07.520
chicken wing on the way through what it usually means is I'm not doing any of

46
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:16.160
this Ulner deviation. So what we'll do now is we'll hit a couple where we focus

47
00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:22.020
on I'm basically going to feel this Ulner deviate and I'm just gonna allow my

48
00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:22.240
body

49
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.200
to rotate while I'm finishing that move and you'll see that a checkpoint will

50
00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:31.720
basically be in this follow-through if the club is slightly below my hands and

51
00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:36.120
kind of wide away from me. You can't hit balls this way but one way to kind of

52
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.280
exaggerate that feeling is if I were to choke up on the club here I'm now in

53
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:47.000
that delivery position if I keep that Ulner deviation or I fully Ulner deviate

54
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.800
you'll see that I'll get the club pretty close to my left forearm. So if

55
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.960
you're struggling with getting extension on the way through it could

56
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.840
simply be not having enough of this Ulner deviation during the release and

57
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:04.000
the timing of when that should happen is kind of down right around in here is

58
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.680
when it starts and it's basically going to finish when you're fully extended

59
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.600
kind of right somewhere in this zone here kind of in that follow-through. The

60
00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:19.640
alternative again from the face-on view would be if I get to about here and I

61
00:04:19.640 --> 00:04:23.040
don't Ulner deviate then I have to get the club down to the ground one of these

62
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.600
other ways and I'll tend to release the club more like this and you can see

63
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:32.840
that that's going to affect the path, the amount of loft, the low point, the

64
00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:35.720
wide point all the important parameters that we're trying to build with this

65
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:40.720
good release. So get that early Ulner deviation and that'll allow you to get

66
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.440
more extension on the way through.
