00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.800
This drill is the lead arm whip. So the lead arm whip is kind of isolating the

2
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:09.090
left side or the lead side of the white movement and the white movement is

3
00:00:09.090 --> 00:00:09.600
getting

4
00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:14.360
the club back out in front or sorry getting the grip in your hands back out

5
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:18.800
in front of your body before you then start to extend them or straighten them.

6
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:23.240
What many golfers obviously struggle with is the club or the hands get more

7
00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:27.200
behind and the club gets in front that has more of kind of a scoop style as

8
00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:31.320
opposed to the hands getting in front the club still behind that ends up

9
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.320
having a whole lot of power and leg. Some golfers when they try to do it from

10
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:41.560
the trail arm it's just a nightmare they tend to leave the face wide open they

11
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.880
can tend to really kind of go low to high and hit a lot of chunk shots or

12
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.360
bladed shots and they just have a hard time getting that trail arm to

13
00:00:50.360 --> 00:00:50.840
coordinate

14
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.760
the white movement. So sometimes we have to teach it more from the left side or

15
00:00:54.760 --> 00:01:00.840
the lead arm. So lead arm whip you can see with a lot of kind of longer hitters

16
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:06.440
will basically be from about here that arm is gonna disconnect slightly off the

17
00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:11.960
body and then it will straighten as it starts rotating and it'll have this

18
00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:18.600
appearance of almost a extra little whip. Guys like Ray Mark McElroy, Charles

19
00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:23.600
Hal the third there's lots of golfers who are lighter and really long and they

20
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:28.720
tend to have a good amount of this lead arm whip action. To train it I'm gonna

21
00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:33.240
isolate the left arm. So what we have to learn is we have to learn to kind of

22
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:37.240
pull that arm across before it then straightens instead of just straightening

23
00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:41.280
straight from the top. So you're gonna take your lead arm for right-handed golf

24
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:41.360
ers

25
00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:45.360
it's the left arm place it on your right shoulder and you're gonna bring that

26
00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:49.700
elbow across before you straighten it. So it's kind of a cross like this there

27
00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:49.800
's

28
00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:55.840
a little shoulder rotation it's gonna come across and then straighten kind of

29
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.630
like this. Now at the same time you'll see that as it kind of straightens when

30
00:02:01.630 --> 00:02:01.720
I

31
00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:08.160
coordinate it with my body my body keeps rotating. So then once I've got kind

32
00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:08.240
of

33
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.400
this feeling of the arm working more across and straightening instead of

34
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.520
just straightening I can integrate it into single arm drills. If I was to not

35
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.440
do a good little wipe and just kind of cast the club get the arm out in front

36
00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:28.400
of my body I would tend to have more chunky style contact like this if I had

37
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.560
a little bit better coordination with that I would tend to possibly even pull

38
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:40.320
it like I did right there. If we compare that to bringing the arm across and

39
00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:40.560
then

40
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.880
in front that really helps with compression so it will bring the flight

41
00:02:43.880 --> 00:02:47.000
down that helps with low point getting it out in front of the golf ball and so

42
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.440
making solid contact and it helps with keeping the path going out to the right

43
00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:55.560
because I'm delaying the width of the circle. Those three keys are why a lot of

44
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:03.080
really long but lighter golfers tend to utilize this lead arm whip feeling. So

45
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:03.360
to

46
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.600
do it correctly I'm going to take it back to about my 3 o'clock position get

47
00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:13.160
just a little bit of bend of the elbow. Now you'll see that I'm not really

48
00:03:13.160 --> 00:03:13.640
flying

49
00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:19.280
that arm away I'm bringing it from behind to in front so I'm bringing it

50
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:24.840
from behind my sternum to just ahead of my sternum as it straightens but the

51
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.320
shoulder is still staying in good alignment it's not pulling away I'm not

52
00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:35.480
disconnecting that shoulder blade so it's just a subtle little lead arm whip

53
00:03:35.480 --> 00:03:39.520
kind of like so gets that good compression ball flight down path starting

54
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.000
more out to the right so the golf ball launches a little bit more to the right

55
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:48.360
if you do this move well you should have a very hard time pulling the ball then

56
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:53.920
you can put both hands on and you can either emphasize that whip component

57
00:03:53.920 --> 00:04:01.480
with almost no body or you can try and coordinate it with the body so it'll be

58
00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:10.720
more of just a subtle little lead arm whip kind of like that once you have a

59
00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:14.160
decent handle you can take it up to bigger swings and integrate it into your

60
00:04:14.160 --> 00:04:18.920
full swing full swing integrating that lead arm whip
