00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.340
This concept video is discussing motorcycle mistakes.

2
00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:13.480
So the two common places where golfers struggle with the motorcycle.

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:18.710
So in other videos I've talked about how the motorcycle is a gradual rotation

4
00:00:18.710 --> 00:00:19.920
of the clubface

5
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.960
that occupies the majority of the downswing.

6
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.440
There are two common places where people fail to do the motorcycle.

7
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:33.560
One is in transition, they will usually actually motorcycle it the other way or

8
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.600
open the clubface.

9
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.760
That often happens when the arms are pulling down and the wrist goes into a

10
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:41.640
stronger position

11
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.400
more extended rather than a flex position more set up for rotation.

12
00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:50.300
So when you're pulling down there's a natural tendency for the wrist to want to

13
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:50.800
rotate the

14
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:57.600
clubface in an open direction then you have to square it up during the release.

15
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.440
But so that's piece number one which is in transition.

16
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:05.480
That is one of the times to focus on that continuous motorcycle.

17
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:10.680
The second time is during the release when a lot of golfers tend to create

18
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:10.960
tension and

19
00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:16.080
kind of hold off the club instead of letting it to continue to rotate.

20
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:20.370
Now because we are getting some owner deviation and this is getting more in

21
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:21.680
line now the rotation

22
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.960
happens more from that lead arm supination.

23
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:30.160
What a lot of golfers do is they keep tension and then they get the clubface to

24
00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:31.200
rotate by

25
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.760
narrowing the radius and having the club pass or doing a little bit of a

26
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:35.720
chicken wing.

27
00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:41.110
So the two main times that we want to work on the motorcycle are going to be

28
00:01:41.110 --> 00:01:41.760
there in

29
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.760
transition and then they're during the release.

30
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:52.640
So it should blend into a gradual rotation during the downswing.

31
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.610
That rotation allows for us to get shaft lean, it allows for us to sequence our

32
00:01:58.610 --> 00:01:59.440
body a little

33
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:05.640
bit better and because of that shaft lean it allows us to get a nice flat spot

34
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.240
at the

35
00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:11.910
bottom that helps us with our gram contacting consistency but if you struggle

36
00:02:11.910 --> 00:02:12.680
with that

37
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.520
I would work in actually a probably the reverse order.

38
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:23.280
So I would get used to where do I want to be there at impact.

39
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.710
So feeling more of that lead wrist, owner deviation and supination during the

40
00:02:29.710 --> 00:02:30.560
release.

41
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:37.600
So feeling some of that rotation of the clubface as you're moving the club

42
00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:39.120
forward by turning

43
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:46.430
your body then the second step would be trying to blend that into a transition

44
00:02:46.430 --> 00:02:47.240
feel.

45
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:55.550
So feeling like the club is actively rotating there in transition or actively

46
00:02:55.550 --> 00:02:56.480
rotating during

47
00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:57.480
the release.

48
00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:00.180
So now we'll do a couple where we focus on the transition.

49
00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:02.960
I often like to do that as kind of a pump drill.

50
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.660
A lot of people will feel weak in this position if you're trying to push but it

51
00:03:07.660 --> 00:03:08.520
's strong in

52
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.940
this position if you're trying to pull.

53
00:03:11.940 --> 00:03:17.310
So what I mean by that is if I'm bowed like this it's fairly weak for trying to

54
00:03:17.310 --> 00:03:17.800
push.

55
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.490
I would want to get behind the shaft so that I could push the club out towards

56
00:03:22.490 --> 00:03:23.280
the target

57
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.480
but when it's in this position it actually connects the wrist and forearm so

58
00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:28.880
that then

59
00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:35.740
if I were to turn my body I'll get an easier transfer of that body motion out

60
00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:37.000
to the club.

61
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.780
So we'll do that one more time.

62
00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:45.180
So we'll go up we'll motorcycle a little bit there kind of pumping and then

63
00:03:45.180 --> 00:03:46.300
just continue

64
00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:50.680
it going on the way through that should help you square the clubface hopefully

65
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:51.300
get a nice

66
00:03:51.300 --> 00:03:52.300
little draw.

67
00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:56.330
So if you're struggling with the motorcycle and you look on the down line

68
00:03:56.330 --> 00:03:57.100
camera and the

69
00:03:57.100 --> 00:03:59.800
clubface is really open here in transition.

70
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:04.450
Check your wrist you can see if that was more of a transition issue if it's a

71
00:04:04.450 --> 00:04:05.260
good if it's

72
00:04:05.260 --> 00:04:10.440
in a good spot here but then it's kind of holding off and you're still getting

73
00:04:10.440 --> 00:04:10.440
more

74
00:04:10.440 --> 00:04:17.220
kind of right clubface misses then you need to focus on the clubface closing on

75
00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:18.300
the release.

76
00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:23.500
So this downswing checkpoint is one of the most useful tools for you being able

77
00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:23.900
to assess

78
00:04:23.900 --> 00:04:27.320
what's going on with your clubface control and that can ultimately help you

79
00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:27.860
figure out

80
00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:35.260
which zone you need to train to fix it.

81
00:04:35.260 --> 00:04:41.600
Then when you make your full swing you just want to feel that blended the

82
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.780
motorcycle movement

83
00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:44.780
kind of like that.

84
00:04:44.780 --> 00:04:49.150
Okay let's look at the motorcycle those two key times when you're probably not

85
00:04:49.150 --> 00:04:49.580
doing

86
00:04:49.580 --> 00:04:55.160
the motorcycle would be right here in the in transition and you can see from my

87
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:55.620
view

88
00:04:55.620 --> 00:05:00.180
how much I'm turning it away and then trying to keep it in that position as I

89
00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:00.860
come down

90
00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:01.860
here.

91
00:05:01.860 --> 00:05:06.130
Now if I held my wrist the same you could see that the club would stay open so

92
00:05:06.130 --> 00:05:06.780
then I have

93
00:05:06.780 --> 00:05:12.920
to add a little bit of supination you can watch this bone here rotate compared

94
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:13.460
to the

95
00:05:13.460 --> 00:05:20.240
elbow or rotate around the hole no the bottom bone so that at impact my wrist

96
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.260
and my elbow

97
00:05:21.260 --> 00:05:26.640
are pointing in a similar direction so I either need to flex it more there or

98
00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:27.100
let it

99
00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:29.140
rotate down through there.

100
00:05:29.140 --> 00:05:39.540
We'll try to do one in slow motion kind of like that.
