00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.400
This drill is leave your arms behind you. So leave your arms behind you is a
2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.040
great drill for blending the transition into the release but focusing on the
3
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:15.160
body turning aspect of the release and and delaying that extension of the
4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.720
right arm. It's going to be much more critical for the longer clubs but can be
5
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:25.200
helpful especially if you have too much of an in-out path or too much
6
00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:30.120
rightward path in your suffering with either blocks or hooks. So leave your
7
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.000
arms behind you is basically I'm gonna get into that good delivery position and
8
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.600
I'm gonna try and get the club to be almost behind my back. Now keeping that
9
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:46.240
club behind my back I'm going to turn my body until that club that is behind my
10
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:52.240
back is essentially even with the golf ball. So I'm gonna get that club back
11
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:58.800
behind my back and I'm going to turn my body until the club that is behind my
12
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:03.760
back is roughly even with the golf ball. Now you can hit little pitches and
13
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:04.040
little
14
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.440
nine to three shots working on this drill so I'm gonna get the club behind
15
00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:13.160
my back and I'm basically going to turn trying to keep that club behind my back
16
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:13.160
.
17
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:17.880
I felt on that one that I kind of wanted to go with my arms just a little bit
18
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:18.160
too
19
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:23.600
soon and that's why I hit a little bit behind it. If I actually keep the club
20
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:28.800
behind my back like so the only way that I'm going to get this club down to the
21
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:35.120
golf ball is through enough rotation and side bend and so it helps me feel this
22
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:42.040
delay of my arm motions. What I can then do is I can then use that feeling and
23
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.240
kind of take bigger and bigger swings until I can feel like I get to right
24
00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:51.440
about here before those arms finally join into the party and get involved.
25
00:01:51.440 --> 00:01:55.600
Because with most of this what we see with the kinematic sequence is we want
26
00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:03.200
those arms to be delayed until somewhere down in here before they kind of reach
27
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.600
their maximum impact into the swing. So you're gonna feel like you keep these
28
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:12.440
arms behind you. You're gonna turn and side bend to get those arms behind you
29
00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:12.720
in
30
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:16.560
contact with the golf ball. It's going to help you feel what it's like to
31
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:16.880
actually
32
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:20.640
have your chest open and be in this good merry-go-round or good impact
33
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:24.200
position. So I'll show you real quick down the line or actually facing the
34
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:26.560
camera.
35
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:35.560
So just like so I'm gonna get those levers behind me and I'm basically going
36
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.960
to turn leaving my arms behind me so that when I make contact my chest is
37
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.080
going to feel like it's way over here. What a lot of you are going to be
38
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:48.120
struggling with is you are going to get those arms involved early in my chest
39
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.720
and everything is going to be facing the golf ball kind of like so.
40
00:02:53.720 --> 00:03:01.240
We're going to try and get it to lag behind me kind of more like that. So this
41
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.680
will help you with your angle of attack, this will help you with power. It's a
42
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.400
great drill for working on your sequencing, working on your contact but
43
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.360
most importantly delaying this extension of that trail arm to help you get
44
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:19.000
better body positions for your impact position.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.400
This drill is leave your arms behind you. So leave your arms behind you is a
2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.040
great drill for blending the transition into the release but focusing on the
3
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:15.160

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.720

13
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:04.040

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.440
nine to three shots working on this drill so I'm gonna get the club behind

contact with the golf ball. It's going to help you feel what it's like to
31
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:16.880

arms behind you. You're gonna turn and side bend to get those arms behind you
29
00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:12.720
in
30
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:16.560
contact with the golf ball. It's going to help you feel what it's like to
31
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:16.880
actually
32
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:20.640
have your chest open and be in this good merry-go-round or good impact

great drill for blending the transition into the release but focusing on the

right arm. It's going to be much more critical for the longer clubs but can be
5
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:25.200
helpful especially if you have too much of an in-out path or too much
6
00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:30.120
rightward path in your suffering with either blocks or hooks. So leave your
7
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.000
arms behind you is basically I'm gonna get into that good delivery position and

little
14
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.440
nine to three shots working on this drill so I'm gonna get the club behind
15
00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:13.160
my back and I'm basically going to turn trying to keep that club behind my back
16
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:13.160
.
17
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:17.880
I felt on that one that I kind of wanted to go with my arms just a little bit
18
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:18.160
too
19
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:23.600
soon and that's why I hit a little bit behind it. If I actually keep the club
20
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:28.800
behind my back like so the only way that I'm going to get this club down to the
21
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:35.120
golf ball is through enough rotation and side bend and so it helps me feel this
22
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:42.040
delay of my arm motions. What I can then do is I can then use that feeling and
23
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.240
kind of take bigger and bigger swings until I can feel like I get to right
24
00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:51.440
about here before those arms finally join into the party and get involved.
25
00:01:51.440 --> 00:01:55.600
Because with most of this what we see with the kinematic sequence is we want
26
00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:03.200
those arms to be delayed until somewhere down in here before they kind of reach
27
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.600
their maximum impact into the swing. So you're gonna feel like you keep these
28
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:12.440
arms behind you. You're gonna turn and side bend to get those arms behind you
29
00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:12.720
in
30
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:16.560
contact with the golf ball. It's going to help you feel what it's like to
31
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:16.880
actually
32
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:20.640
have your chest open and be in this good merry-go-round or good impact
33
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:24.200
position. So I'll show you real quick down the line or actually facing the
34
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:26.560
camera.
35
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:35.560
So just like so I'm gonna get those levers behind me and I'm basically going
36
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.960
to turn leaving my arms behind me so that when I make contact my chest is
37
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.080
going to feel like it's way over here. What a lot of you are going to be
38
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:48.120
struggling with is you are going to get those arms involved early in my chest
39
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.720
and everything is going to be facing the golf ball kind of like so.
40
00:02:53.720 --> 00:03:01.240
We're going to try and get it to lag behind me kind of more like that. So this
41
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.680
will help you with your angle of attack, this will help you with power. It's a
42
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.400
great drill for working on your sequencing, working on your contact but
43
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.360
most importantly delaying this extension of that trail arm to help you get
44
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:19.000
better body positions for your impact position.
