00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.040
In this video we're going to look at limitations and clarifications on the

2
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:08.000
wipe. So the wipe is a very important movement that I see in just about every

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:15.160
good ball striker on their 3D pattern that a lot of amateurs don't do. Now the

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.760
question always becomes because I'm quite flexible so when I demonstrate the

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.960
wipe it's going to look more exaggerated and if you're looking at video you may

6
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:29.000
not see something that looks as exaggerated. So I'm always very careful

7
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.280
in these videos to talk about trying to move your elbow towards your belly

8
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:37.060
button. Now if I had a really restricted right shoulder or if I was a little

9
00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:37.200
bit

10
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.760
more you know overweight and had some mass in the middle and I couldn't really

11
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.840
move my elbow across my body the important thing is to have it moving in

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.190
that direction. So people will always give the example of Jim Furyk and I'll

13
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:50.420
just

14
00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:56.120
I'll show them their 3D where during the release it's actually sliding or

15
00:00:56.120 --> 00:00:56.360
during

16
00:00:56.360 --> 00:01:00.440
the start of the release it's actually sliding this way it's not straightening

17
00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:06.360
out. So whether you get the elbow way behind your body more on the side of your

18
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:10.000
body or towards the hip the important thing is as we go into the release that

19
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.920
it is working more across and towards your sternum as opposed to working

20
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.280
straight down. With the exception of the wedges where if it works straight down

21
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.480
I'll balance that by having my upper body a little bit more on top of the

22
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:31.280
golf ball. It's very hard to get this good side bend if the arms are working

23
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.840
straight out in front of your body as opposed to working in more of this

24
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:41.440
wipe direction. So what I've what I've discovered the last three four or five

25
00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:46.560
years is that if I teach someone the wipe first so that this is working a

26
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.120
little bit more across their body and I'll restrict my range of motion so I'm

27
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:55.440
not going as much as I can where I can actually get that elbow past my belly

28
00:01:55.440 --> 00:02:03.480
button which is unnecessary. If I'm working that elbow towards then one of

29
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.960
the movements that will help me hit the ball a little bit more solidly is

30
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:12.240
actually adding that side bend so it ends up looking kind of like that or

31
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:19.720
adding that Jackson 5 movement. If I tend to have more of the spin lunge cast

32
00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:24.360
pattern then this white movement feels very very awkward at first but it also

33
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.040
feels very very different and I always want to stress and the purpose of this

34
00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:32.720
video is that if you have shoulder restrictions or if you have you know

35
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:37.800
rib cage restrictions if you have some a belly that gets in the way it's not so

36
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.320
much that it has to go all the way to your belly button it's just that we want

37
00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:48.960
it working across your body during that phase there as opposed to working

38
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:54.280
straight out towards the golf ball kind of like that. So hopefully that helps

39
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:54.440
you

40
00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:58.440
clarify and understand how you can apply the wipe. If you start trying to apply

41
00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:01.760
the wipe and the ball is going way off to the right that's a good sign that

42
00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:04.440
you're doing the wipe and you just need to work a little bit more on the

43
00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:09.520
motorcycle or other ways to close the club face instead of using that cast

44
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.160
pattern or scoot pattern to close the club face.
