00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.220
This drill is the jazzy Jeff follow-through so the jazzy Jeff move is one of
2
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:12.280
the descriptions
3
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:17.120
I used for or I still use for going into external rotation.
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.630
I primarily use it for the backswing because a lot of golfers tend to get more
5
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:21.840
of this
6
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.420
elbow going into internal rotation stuck behind pointing perpendicular to the
7
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:28.000
spine up at
8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.280
the top of the swing kind of has a look more like this and that can encourage
9
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:32.940
some steep
10
00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:36.500
and some arm dominant patterns that tend to cause a lot of contact and
11
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.160
consistency problem.
12
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.630
So the jazzy Jeff movement pays homage to the fresh Prince Bel Air where he and
13
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:43.280
his buddy
14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.200
would have the jazzy Jeff kind of handshake where they go and then and that
15
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.320
movement there
16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.770
of that external rotation where the trail arm stays in front of the chest and
17
00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:56.320
all the movement
18
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.180
is happening by going into this external rotation is similar to what we're
19
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:01.320
trying to do in the
20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:07.360
backswing well for some golfers it can be helpful to mirror that in the finish
21
00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:09.080
so a number
22
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:15.090
of golfers who have more of a chicken wing pattern will tend to pull this arm
23
00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:15.880
behind and
24
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:21.330
the elbow will be pointing way up just like this so as they come through it's
25
00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:22.040
often accompanied
26
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.470
with a little bit of arms behind and steep and so then they pull those arms
27
00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:27.680
around their
28
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.750
body and that causes the club to be coming up on the golf ball you can struggle
29
00:01:31.750 --> 00:01:32.080
with
30
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:35.470
top shots you can struggle with thin shots you can struggle with pulls you can
31
00:01:35.470 --> 00:01:35.960
struggle
32
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:40.700
with toe shots that's a common pattern of having too much of this arm pull in
33
00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:41.320
the follow
34
00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:46.770
through and so what we're going to do in the jazzy Jeff follow through is
35
00:01:46.770 --> 00:01:47.640
basically we're
36
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.090
going to get our arm into this follow through position and then from here we're
37
00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:53.280
going to
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.150
try to keep the elbow in front of our body and we're going to do that jazzy
39
00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:58.040
Jeff movement
40
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.240
now you'll see that naturally I do more in my trail arm than my lead so it's
41
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:02.640
not going
42
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.480
to look quite as dramatic but I'm trying to feel a little bit of this movement
43
00:02:08.480 --> 00:02:10.120
here where
44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.910
the arm is actually rotating past my body kind of like this the key place to
45
00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:15.560
see this
46
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.010
is from the down the line view what you'll see is as I do that jazzy Jeff move
47
00:02:21.010 --> 00:02:21.360
the arm
48
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.960
will tend to stay straight and up as opposed to being bent or coming way down
49
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.280
so if you
50
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.730
are looking from that down the line view and you see either this narrow here or
51
00:02:33.730 --> 00:02:34.160
this kind
52
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:37.750
of coming behind and pointing way down then you might be a candidate for
53
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:38.640
working on this
54
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.090
follow through position it really helps create more of a body driven finish
55
00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:44.960
because the arms
56
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.180
aren't pulling around you're going to have to use turn your hips in your chest
57
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:48.640
to bring
58
00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:52.720
the club all the way around okay so let's jump into the demo one of the big
59
00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:53.400
keys here
60
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.850
is the timing of the movement so we know that we want that kind of monorman
61
00:02:58.850 --> 00:02:59.840
position on
62
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.290
the way through where we want the the elbow into a little bit more of internal
63
00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:05.960
rotation
64
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.430
as we're coming through that helps create create some of this width but now as
65
00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:11.080
the club
66
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:17.140
passes there I'm going to try and reverse it and go more into that jazzy Jeff
67
00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:18.120
movement
68
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.390
the thing that they both have in common is that the arm is going to stay more
69
00:03:22.390 --> 00:03:22.920
in front
70
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.240
of the body so first we're going to do a 9 to 3 just to kind of get comfortable
71
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:30.240
with
72
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.680
a good with our low point and our follow through and where we're going to be
73
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:35.880
now we're going
74
00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:39.760
to try and not stop at the three position we're going to do nine to follow
75
00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:40.520
through so we're
76
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:47.620
going to go from this nine o'clock here jazzy Jeff so I'm slowly going past
77
00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:48.760
into this follow
78
00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:54.370
through position or at least sorry past the follow through position up towards
79
00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:55.200
the finish
80
00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:59.670
I want to at least get the club to vertical instead of stopping when the club
81
00:03:59.670 --> 00:04:00.480
is parallel
82
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:04.320
now we're going to add a little bit of speed so we're going to do more of a 10
83
00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:05.120
to 2 focusing
84
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.260
on the timing of this movement right there and you can see elbows are still in
85
00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:11.900
front
86
00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:17.860
of my chest back is almost facing the target as opposed to a lot of people who
87
00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:18.720
struggle
88
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.600
with this movement will kind of be more like this where the chest has the the
89
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:25.360
hips are
90
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.490
actually closed the chest is still closed but the arms have gone past the body
91
00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:30.040
into that
92
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:36.250
follow through okay let's get that out of the system let's do one more 10 to 2
93
00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:36.840
where
94
00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:43.930
we feel a little bit more so that one was pretty good right there and now as we
95
00:04:43.930 --> 00:04:44.080
add
96
00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:48.580
speed as you go closer and closer to your full finish that arm is going to bend
97
00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:48.960
so we're
98
00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:53.660
going to still feel like we keep that elbow more in front of the chest on the
99
00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:54.520
way through
100
00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:02.580
so up towards a full swing elbow is still in front of the chest and it has a
101
00:05:02.580 --> 00:05:03.280
feeling
102
00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:09.030
of the arms being a little bit more this way so it has a feeling of jazzy jeff
103
00:05:09.030 --> 00:05:09.800
movement
104
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.250
kind of more like this as opposed to arms pull around more like that use that
105
00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:15.720
if you
106
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.850
start with some contact patterns or some pull patterns and you see a narrowness
107
00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:21.240
in the follow
108
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.240
through from those arms breaking down too soon getting the lead shoulder going
109
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:26.080
to more external
110
00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:29.970
rotation is one of the keys for getting that look of keeping a straight left
111
00:05:29.970 --> 00:05:30.880
arm long into
112
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:31.440
the follow through.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.220
This drill is the jazzy Jeff follow-through so the jazzy Jeff move is one of
2
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:12.280
the descriptions
3
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:17.120
I used for or I still use for going into external rotation.
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.630
I primarily use it for the backswing because a lot of golfers tend to get more
5
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:21.840
of this
6
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.420
elbow going into internal rotation stuck behind pointing perpendicular to the
7
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:28.000
spine up at
8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.280
the top of the swing kind of has a look more like this and that can encourage
9
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:32.940
some steep
10
00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:36.500
and some arm dominant patterns that tend to cause a lot of contact and
11
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.160
consistency problem.
12
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.630
So the jazzy Jeff movement pays homage to the fresh Prince Bel Air where he and
13
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:43.280
his buddy
14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.200
would have the jazzy Jeff kind of handshake where they go and then and that
15
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.320
movement there
16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.770
of that external rotation where the trail arm stays in front of the chest and
17
00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:56.320
all the movement
18
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.180
is happening by going into this external rotation is similar to what we're
19
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:01.320
trying to do in the
20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:07.360
backswing well for some golfers it can be helpful to mirror that in the finish
21
00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:09.080
so a number
22
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:15.090
of golfers who have more of a chicken wing pattern will tend to pull this arm
23
00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:15.880
behind and
24
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:21.330
the elbow will be pointing way up just like this so as they come through it's
25
00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:22.040
often accompanied
26
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.470
with a little bit of arms behind and steep and so then they pull those arms
27
00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:27.680
around their
28
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.750
body and that causes the club to be coming up on the golf ball you can struggle
29
00:01:31.750 --> 00:01:32.080
with
30
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:35.470
top shots you can struggle with thin shots you can struggle with pulls you can
31
00:01:35.470 --> 00:01:35.960
struggle
32
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:40.700
with toe shots that's a common pattern of having too much of this arm pull in
33
00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:41.320
the follow
34
00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:46.770
through and so what we're going to do in the jazzy Jeff follow through is
35
00:01:46.770 --> 00:01:47.640
basically we're
36
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.090
going to get our arm into this follow through position and then from here we're
37
00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:53.280
going to
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.150
try to keep the elbow in front of our body and we're going to do that jazzy
39
00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:58.040
Jeff movement
40
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.240
now you'll see that naturally I do more in my trail arm than my lead so it's
41
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:02.640
not going
42
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.480
to look quite as dramatic but I'm trying to feel a little bit of this movement
43
00:02:08.480 --> 00:02:10.120
here where
44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.910
the arm is actually rotating past my body kind of like this the key place to
45
00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:15.560
see this
46
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.010
is from the down the line view what you'll see is as I do that jazzy Jeff move
47
00:02:21.010 --> 00:02:21.360
the arm
48
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.960
will tend to stay straight and up as opposed to being bent or coming way down
49
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.280
so if you
50
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.730
are looking from that down the line view and you see either this narrow here or
51
00:02:33.730 --> 00:02:34.160
this kind
52
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:37.750
of coming behind and pointing way down then you might be a candidate for
53
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:38.640
working on this
54
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.090
follow through position it really helps create more of a body driven finish
55
00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:44.960
because the arms
56
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.180
aren't pulling around you're going to have to use turn your hips in your chest
57
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:48.640
to bring
58
00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:52.720
the club all the way around okay so let's jump into the demo one of the big
59
00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:53.400
keys here
60
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.850
is the timing of the movement so we know that we want that kind of monorman
61
00:02:58.850 --> 00:02:59.840
position on
62
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.290
the way through where we want the the elbow into a little bit more of internal
63
00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:05.960
rotation
64
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.430
as we're coming through that helps create create some of this width but now as
65
00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:11.080
the club
66
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:17.140
passes there I'm going to try and reverse it and go more into that jazzy Jeff
67
00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:18.120
movement
68
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.390
the thing that they both have in common is that the arm is going to stay more
69
00:03:22.390 --> 00:03:22.920
in front
70
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.240
of the body so first we're going to do a 9 to 3 just to kind of get comfortable
71
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:30.240
with
72
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.680
a good with our low point and our follow through and where we're going to be
73
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:35.880
now we're going
74
00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:39.760
to try and not stop at the three position we're going to do nine to follow
75
00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:40.520
through so we're
76
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:47.620
going to go from this nine o'clock here jazzy Jeff so I'm slowly going past
77
00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:48.760
into this follow
78
00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:54.370
through position or at least sorry past the follow through position up towards
79
00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:55.200
the finish
80
00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:59.670
I want to at least get the club to vertical instead of stopping when the club
81
00:03:59.670 --> 00:04:00.480
is parallel
82
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:04.320
now we're going to add a little bit of speed so we're going to do more of a 10
83
00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:05.120
to 2 focusing
84
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.260
on the timing of this movement right there and you can see elbows are still in
85
00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:11.900
front
86
00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:17.860
of my chest back is almost facing the target as opposed to a lot of people who
87
00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:18.720
struggle
88
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.600
with this movement will kind of be more like this where the chest has the the
89
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:25.360
hips are
90
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.490
actually closed the chest is still closed but the arms have gone past the body
91
00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:30.040
into that
92
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:36.250
follow through okay let's get that out of the system let's do one more 10 to 2
93
00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:36.840
where
94
00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:43.930
we feel a little bit more so that one was pretty good right there and now as we
95
00:04:43.930 --> 00:04:44.080
add
96
00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:48.580
speed as you go closer and closer to your full finish that arm is going to bend
97
00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:48.960
so we're
98
00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:53.660
going to still feel like we keep that elbow more in front of the chest on the
99
00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:54.520
way through
100
00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:02.580
so up towards a full swing elbow is still in front of the chest and it has a
101
00:05:02.580 --> 00:05:03.280
feeling
102
00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:09.030
of the arms being a little bit more this way so it has a feeling of jazzy jeff
103
00:05:09.030 --> 00:05:09.800
movement
104
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.250
kind of more like this as opposed to arms pull around more like that use that
105
00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:15.720
if you
106
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.850
start with some contact patterns or some pull patterns and you see a narrowness
107
00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:21.240
in the follow
108
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.240
through from those arms breaking down too soon getting the lead shoulder going
109
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:26.080
to more external
110
00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:29.970
rotation is one of the keys for getting that look of keeping a straight left
111
00:05:29.970 --> 00:05:30.880
arm long into
112
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:31.440
the follow through.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.220
This drill is the jazzy Jeff follow-through so the jazzy Jeff move is one of
2
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:12.280
the descriptions
3
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:17.120
I used for or I still use for going into external rotation.
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.630
I primarily use it for the backswing because a lot of golfers tend to get more
5
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:21.840
of this
6
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.420
elbow going into internal rotation stuck behind pointing perpendicular to the
7
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:28.000
spine up at
8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.280
the top of the swing kind of has a look more like this and that can encourage
9
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:32.940
some steep
10
00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:36.500
and some arm dominant patterns that tend to cause a lot of contact and
11
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.160
consistency problem.
12
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.630
So the jazzy Jeff movement pays homage to the fresh Prince Bel Air where he and
13
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:43.280
his buddy
14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.200
would have the jazzy Jeff kind of handshake where they go and then and that
15
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.320
movement there
16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.770
of that external rotation where the trail arm stays in front of the chest and
17
00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:56.320
all the movement
18
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.180
is happening by going into this external rotation is similar to what we're
19
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:01.320
trying to do in the
20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:07.360
backswing well for some golfers it can be helpful to mirror that in the finish
21
00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:09.080
so a number
22
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:15.090
of golfers who have more of a chicken wing pattern will tend to pull this arm
23
00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:15.880
behind and
24
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:21.330
the elbow will be pointing way up just like this so as they come through it's
25
00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:22.040
often accompanied
26
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.470
with a little bit of arms behind and steep and so then they pull those arms
27
00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:27.680
around their
28
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.750
body and that causes the club to be coming up on the golf ball you can struggle
29
00:01:31.750 --> 00:01:32.080
with
30
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:35.470
top shots you can struggle with thin shots you can struggle with pulls you can
31
00:01:35.470 --> 00:01:35.960
struggle
32
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:40.700
with toe shots that's a common pattern of having too much of this arm pull in
33
00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:41.320
the follow
34
00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:46.770
through and so what we're going to do in the jazzy Jeff follow through is
35
00:01:46.770 --> 00:01:47.640
basically we're
36
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.090
going to get our arm into this follow through position and then from here we're
37
00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:53.280
going to
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.150
try to keep the elbow in front of our body and we're going to do that jazzy
39
00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:58.040
Jeff movement
40
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.240
now you'll see that naturally I do more in my trail arm than my lead so it's
41
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:02.640
not going
42
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.480
to look quite as dramatic but I'm trying to feel a little bit of this movement
43
00:02:08.480 --> 00:02:10.120
here where
44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.910
the arm is actually rotating past my body kind of like this the key place to
45
00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:15.560
see this
46
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.010
is from the down the line view what you'll see is as I do that jazzy Jeff move
47
00:02:21.010 --> 00:02:21.360
the arm
48
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.960
will tend to stay straight and up as opposed to being bent or coming way down
49
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.280
so if you
50
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.730
are looking from that down the line view and you see either this narrow here or
51
00:02:33.730 --> 00:02:34.160
this kind
52
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:37.750
of coming behind and pointing way down then you might be a candidate for
53
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:38.640
working on this
54
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.090
follow through position it really helps create more of a body driven finish
55
00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:44.960
because the arms
56
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.180
aren't pulling around you're going to have to use turn your hips in your chest
57
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:48.640
to bring
58
00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:52.720
the club all the way around okay so let's jump into the demo one of the big
59
00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:53.400
keys here
60
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.850
is the timing of the movement so we know that we want that kind of monorman
61
00:02:58.850 --> 00:02:59.840
position on
62
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.290
the way through where we want the the elbow into a little bit more of internal
63
00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:05.960
rotation
64
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.430
as we're coming through that helps create create some of this width but now as
65
00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:11.080
the club
66
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:17.140
passes there I'm going to try and reverse it and go more into that jazzy Jeff
67
00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:18.120
movement
68
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.390
the thing that they both have in common is that the arm is going to stay more
69
00:03:22.390 --> 00:03:22.920
in front
70
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.240
of the body so first we're going to do a 9 to 3 just to kind of get comfortable
71
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:30.240
with
72
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.680
a good with our low point and our follow through and where we're going to be
73
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:35.880
now we're going
74
00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:39.760
to try and not stop at the three position we're going to do nine to follow
75
00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:40.520
through so we're
76
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:47.620
going to go from this nine o'clock here jazzy Jeff so I'm slowly going past
77
00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:48.760
into this follow
78
00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:54.370
through position or at least sorry past the follow through position up towards
79
00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:55.200
the finish
80
00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:59.670
I want to at least get the club to vertical instead of stopping when the club
81
00:03:59.670 --> 00:04:00.480
is parallel
82
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:04.320
now we're going to add a little bit of speed so we're going to do more of a 10
83
00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:05.120
to 2 focusing
84
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.260
on the timing of this movement right there and you can see elbows are still in
85
00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:11.900
front
86
00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:17.860
of my chest back is almost facing the target as opposed to a lot of people who
87
00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:18.720
struggle
88
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.600
with this movement will kind of be more like this where the chest has the the
89
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:25.360
hips are
90
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.490
actually closed the chest is still closed but the arms have gone past the body
91
00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:30.040
into that
92
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:36.250
follow through okay let's get that out of the system let's do one more 10 to 2
93
00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:36.840
where
94
00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:43.930
we feel a little bit more so that one was pretty good right there and now as we
95
00:04:43.930 --> 00:04:44.080
add
96
00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:48.580
speed as you go closer and closer to your full finish that arm is going to bend
97
00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:48.960
so we're
98
00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:53.660
going to still feel like we keep that elbow more in front of the chest on the
99
00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:54.520
way through
100
00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:02.580
so up towards a full swing elbow is still in front of the chest and it has a
101
00:05:02.580 --> 00:05:03.280
feeling
102
00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:09.030
of the arms being a little bit more this way so it has a feeling of jazzy jeff
103
00:05:09.030 --> 00:05:09.800
movement
104
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.250
kind of more like this as opposed to arms pull around more like that use that
105
00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:15.720
if you
106
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.850
start with some contact patterns or some pull patterns and you see a narrowness
107
00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:21.240
in the follow
108
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.240
through from those arms breaking down too soon getting the lead shoulder going
109
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:26.080
to more external
110
00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:29.970
rotation is one of the keys for getting that look of keeping a straight left
111
00:05:29.970 --> 00:05:30.880
arm long into
112
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:31.440
the follow through.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.220
This drill is the jazzy Jeff follow-through so the jazzy Jeff move is one of
2
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:12.280
the descriptions
3
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:17.120
I used for or I still use for going into external rotation.
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.630
I primarily use it for the backswing because a lot of golfers tend to get more
5
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:21.840
of this
6
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.420
elbow going into internal rotation stuck behind pointing perpendicular to the
7
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:28.000
spine up at
8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.280
the top of the swing kind of has a look more like this and that can encourage
9
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:32.940
some steep
10
00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:36.500
and some arm dominant patterns that tend to cause a lot of contact and
11
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.160
consistency problem.
12
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.630
So the jazzy Jeff movement pays homage to the fresh Prince Bel Air where he and
13
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:43.280
his buddy
14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.200
would have the jazzy Jeff kind of handshake where they go and then and that
15
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.320
movement there
16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.770
of that external rotation where the trail arm stays in front of the chest and
17
00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:56.320
all the movement
18
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.180
is happening by going into this external rotation is similar to what we're
19
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:01.320
trying to do in the
20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:07.360
backswing well for some golfers it can be helpful to mirror that in the finish
21
00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:09.080
so a number
22
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:15.090
of golfers who have more of a chicken wing pattern will tend to pull this arm
23
00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:15.880
behind and
24
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:21.330
the elbow will be pointing way up just like this so as they come through it's
25
00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:22.040
often accompanied
26
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.470
with a little bit of arms behind and steep and so then they pull those arms
27
00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:27.680
around their
28
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.750
body and that causes the club to be coming up on the golf ball you can struggle
29
00:01:31.750 --> 00:01:32.080
with
30
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:35.470
top shots you can struggle with thin shots you can struggle with pulls you can
31
00:01:35.470 --> 00:01:35.960
struggle
32
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:40.700
with toe shots that's a common pattern of having too much of this arm pull in
33
00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:41.320
the follow
34
00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:46.770
through and so what we're going to do in the jazzy Jeff follow through is
35
00:01:46.770 --> 00:01:47.640
basically we're
36
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.090
going to get our arm into this follow through position and then from here we're
37
00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:53.280
going to
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.150
try to keep the elbow in front of our body and we're going to do that jazzy
39
00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:58.040
Jeff movement
40
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.240
now you'll see that naturally I do more in my trail arm than my lead so it's
41
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:02.640
not going
42
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.480
to look quite as dramatic but I'm trying to feel a little bit of this movement
43
00:02:08.480 --> 00:02:10.120
here where
44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.910
the arm is actually rotating past my body kind of like this the key place to
45
00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:15.560
see this
46
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.010
is from the down the line view what you'll see is as I do that jazzy Jeff move
47
00:02:21.010 --> 00:02:21.360
the arm
48
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.960
will tend to stay straight and up as opposed to being bent or coming way down
49
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.280
so if you
50
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.730
are looking from that down the line view and you see either this narrow here or
51
00:02:33.730 --> 00:02:34.160
this kind
52
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:37.750
of coming behind and pointing way down then you might be a candidate for
53
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:38.640
working on this
54
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.090
follow through position it really helps create more of a body driven finish
55
00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:44.960
because the arms
56
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.180
aren't pulling around you're going to have to use turn your hips in your chest
57
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:48.640
to bring
58
00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:52.720
the club all the way around okay so let's jump into the demo one of the big
59
00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:53.400
keys here
60
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.850
is the timing of the movement so we know that we want that kind of monorman
61
00:02:58.850 --> 00:02:59.840
position on
62
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.290
the way through where we want the the elbow into a little bit more of internal
63
00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:05.960
rotation
64
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.430
as we're coming through that helps create create some of this width but now as
65
00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:11.080
the club
66
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:17.140
passes there I'm going to try and reverse it and go more into that jazzy Jeff
67
00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:18.120
movement
68
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.390
the thing that they both have in common is that the arm is going to stay more
69
00:03:22.390 --> 00:03:22.920
in front
70
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.240
of the body so first we're going to do a 9 to 3 just to kind of get comfortable
71
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:30.240
with
72
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.680
a good with our low point and our follow through and where we're going to be
73
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:35.880
now we're going
74
00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:39.760
to try and not stop at the three position we're going to do nine to follow
75
00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:40.520
through so we're
76
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:47.620
going to go from this nine o'clock here jazzy Jeff so I'm slowly going past
77
00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:48.760
into this follow
78
00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:54.370
through position or at least sorry past the follow through position up towards
79
00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:55.200
the finish
80
00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:59.670
I want to at least get the club to vertical instead of stopping when the club
81
00:03:59.670 --> 00:04:00.480
is parallel
82
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:04.320
now we're going to add a little bit of speed so we're going to do more of a 10
83
00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:05.120
to 2 focusing
84
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.260
on the timing of this movement right there and you can see elbows are still in
85
00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:11.900
front
86
00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:17.860
of my chest back is almost facing the target as opposed to a lot of people who
87
00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:18.720
struggle
88
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.600
with this movement will kind of be more like this where the chest has the the
89
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:25.360
hips are
90
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.490
actually closed the chest is still closed but the arms have gone past the body
91
00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:30.040
into that
92
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:36.250
follow through okay let's get that out of the system let's do one more 10 to 2
93
00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:36.840
where
94
00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:43.930
we feel a little bit more so that one was pretty good right there and now as we
95
00:04:43.930 --> 00:04:44.080
add
96
00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:48.580
speed as you go closer and closer to your full finish that arm is going to bend
97
00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:48.960
so we're
98
00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:53.660
going to still feel like we keep that elbow more in front of the chest on the
99
00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:54.520
way through
100
00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:02.580
so up towards a full swing elbow is still in front of the chest and it has a
101
00:05:02.580 --> 00:05:03.280
feeling
102
00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:09.030
of the arms being a little bit more this way so it has a feeling of jazzy jeff
103
00:05:09.030 --> 00:05:09.800
movement
104
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.250
kind of more like this as opposed to arms pull around more like that use that
105
00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:15.720
if you
106
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.850
start with some contact patterns or some pull patterns and you see a narrowness
107
00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:21.240
in the follow
108
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.240
through from those arms breaking down too soon getting the lead shoulder going
109
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:26.080
to more external
110
00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:29.970
rotation is one of the keys for getting that look of keeping a straight left
111
00:05:29.970 --> 00:05:30.880
arm long into
112
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:31.440
the follow through.
