1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.880
This drill is L to I. I had a question about the famous L to L swing. A lot of
2
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.600
instructors
3
00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:17.570
will start you with this L to L look. You'll notice that I don't have one of
4
00:00:17.570 --> 00:00:18.000
these on the
5
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.600
site. I'm not a huge fan of it because I think it emphasizes the rehinge on the
6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:24.480
follow through.
7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:32.200
I tend to see on 3D that a lot of amateur golfers start rehinging well before
8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:33.800
Torpros, especially
9
00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:39.230
with the driver or the longer clubs like the three would. So for the purpose of
10
00:00:39.230 --> 00:00:39.640
working
11
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.250
past the release, so let's say we've done some 9 to 3 training and we've gotten
12
00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:44.640
good
13
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:51.950
at going here, I like doing L to I or what I call chest height to waist height.
14
00:00:51.950 --> 00:00:52.840
So basically
15
00:00:52.840 --> 00:01:00.190
making a little bit more of a 3/4 swing, but still finishing in that good 9 to
16
00:01:00.190 --> 00:01:01.320
3 finish.
17
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.940
That arm extension wrist unhinging and staying wide on the follow through I
18
00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:06.840
think is much
19
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:13.500
more important than trying to emphasize this rehinge on the follow through. So
20
00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:15.720
when you're
21
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:20.280
working on contacting you want to start bridging from your release drills a
22
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:21.280
little bit closer
23
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.230
to full swing, I'm fine with making a little bit longer backswing. So getting
24
00:01:27.230 --> 00:01:27.720
that good
25
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:36.250
kind of L look and feel. But on the way through, I want to be able to still get
26
00:01:36.250 --> 00:01:37.000
that focus
27
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.540
on that really good arm extension. You'll see that if you tend to kind of
28
00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:42.320
chicken wing
29
00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:47.920
or rehinge, you won't be able to stop in that follow through position. So we'll
30
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:48.120
call
31
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.880
it kind of an eye because it's everything in a straight line like so. You won't
32
00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:53.000
be able
33
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:58.670
to finish in that good straight line finish if you're rehinging and kind of
34
00:01:58.670 --> 00:01:59.640
focusing on
35
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.340
pulling in with the arms as opposed to letting you go out with the club. So we
36
00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:08.720
'll demonstrate
37
00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:14.040
still kind of like this and then wide in that follow through.
