00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
This drill is training the motorcycle with the educator.

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.860
So as you've noticed in the site, I'm not a huge fan of training aids, they can

3
00:00:08.860 --> 00:00:09.240
, I think

4
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.250
they can water down a lot of what you're feeling or what you're paying

5
00:00:12.250 --> 00:00:13.440
attention to.

6
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:18.730
But recently I was listening to a talk from Martin Hall and he exposed me to

7
00:00:18.730 --> 00:00:19.600
this great

8
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:20.600
little training device.

9
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.820
I used to use the swing guide, but because of, I would use it differently than

10
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:27.400
how it

11
00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:31.300
was designed and often got into problems with how the things clipped in.

12
00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:35.540
So Martin Chuck, the creator of The Tourist Raker, which ironically I'm not a

13
00:00:35.540 --> 00:00:36.120
huge fan

14
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:41.680
of, he created this little simple piece of plastic called the educator.

15
00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:45.040
We'll include a link at the bottom where you can get them.

16
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:49.800
But basically if you're struggling with working on the motorcycle movement and

17
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:50.680
you're not

18
00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:57.360
super feel oriented, this can help you develop a visual or a sense or a rhythm.

19
00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:00.570
So, to the motion, it'll make sure that you're doing it correctly if you're

20
00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:01.200
unsure if you're

21
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.760
doing it the motorcycle enough or the right amount.

22
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.540
So basically all you do is you're going to stick it in, it attaches right into

23
00:01:10.540 --> 00:01:11.120
the grip

24
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.760
and there's a simple little video that shows you how to do it.

25
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.760
It's very easy.

26
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:20.890
It fits into any club and you're going to use it in the 45 degree angle so you

27
00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:21.480
can either

28
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.640
have it sticking straight up and down or out to the side.

29
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.810
The middle one, the 45 degree and in line with the club base or the score lines

30
00:01:29.810 --> 00:01:30.200
.

31
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.320
So now when I take my normal grip, it fits just on the inside just like so.

32
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:40.840
So now I can't really move it too much or it's going to slam into my forearms.

33
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.750
Well the cool thing is if I'm training the motorcycle which happens during the

34
00:01:44.750 --> 00:01:45.120
backswing

35
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.050
and during once the wrists are relatively set either at the end of the back

36
00:01:49.050 --> 00:01:49.720
swing or the

37
00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:54.580
start of transition, well now because I've hinged it, I have some clearance

38
00:01:54.580 --> 00:01:55.160
space.

39
00:01:55.160 --> 00:01:59.290
So now if I do the motorcycle and then I release, you can see that instead of

40
00:01:59.290 --> 00:02:00.320
being on the inside

41
00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:02.960
of the forearms, it's now on the outside of my forearms.

42
00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:07.820
So I can practice, I can sit and kind of practice doing this little movement

43
00:02:07.820 --> 00:02:09.480
which is just the

44
00:02:09.480 --> 00:02:13.700
motorcycle movement and you can feel, you can train and see which one makes

45
00:02:13.700 --> 00:02:14.520
more sense

46
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:15.520
to you.

47
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.450
It doesn't make more sense to do it from the right arm, just do it from the

48
00:02:19.450 --> 00:02:20.160
left hand,

49
00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:22.160
whichever you want to feel.

50
00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:26.160
So we can do this with the 9 to 3 version or we can do this with full shots.

51
00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:31.060
So in the 9 to 3, I'm just going to choke up just the hair, I'm going to get it

52
00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:31.800
to,

53
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.990
I have to go a little bit past just to have enough wrist hinge so that I can

54
00:02:35.990 --> 00:02:36.760
bend it like

55
00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:37.760
so.

56
00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:43.400
If I'm doing just 9 to 3, I would want this in the full 180 degree position.

57
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:49.330
That will go up to about delivery, tuck it under and then go through just like

58
00:02:49.330 --> 00:02:49.920
so.

59
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:54.140
And if I'm doing full swings, it will impact my follow through and you'll have

60
00:02:54.140 --> 00:02:54.840
to check

61
00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.350
it because he designed it so it's in there relatively loosely so if I hit on it

62
00:03:00.350 --> 00:03:00.800
, I can

63
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.210
actually move it pretty easily so you just have to check it each swing, make

64
00:03:04.210 --> 00:03:04.720
sure it's

65
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:07.560
still in alignment with the club.

66
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.120
So if I take my grip, go up towards the top of my swing, that's where I'm going

67
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.120
to motorcycle

68
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:20.250
and you can see basically anywhere in there from there is an amount of motorcy

69
00:03:20.250 --> 00:03:21.080
cling and

70
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.290
you can figure out, or you can use this as a reference point to figure out what

71
00:03:24.290 --> 00:03:24.640
's the

72
00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:29.840
best amount that works for you.

73
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:36.090
So full swing and it feels a little weird especially on the follow through

74
00:03:36.090 --> 00:03:37.200
because when

75
00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:42.090
I go through, you can see that is no longer lined up with the follow through or

76
00:03:42.090 --> 00:03:42.560
with the

77
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.140
club face because what will happen is if I put it back to zero right about

78
00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:48.840
there, so

79
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:53.700
what will happen is I'm good up until impact and then as I go in through my

80
00:03:53.700 --> 00:03:54.800
release, especially

81
00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.190
right there, I'll lose that flexion in my lead wrist and I'll push the thing

82
00:04:00.190 --> 00:04:00.720
out of

83
00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:02.040
the way.

84
00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:07.550
But it's a great just making sure that when I get to impact that it's on the

85
00:04:07.550 --> 00:04:08.320
outside,

86
00:04:08.320 --> 00:04:10.830
it can be a great little training device when you're working on the motorcycle,

87
00:04:10.830 --> 00:04:11.160
when you're

88
00:04:11.160 --> 00:04:15.960
working on club face control because this gives you another end of the spectrum

89
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:16.120
to kind

90
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.920
of focus on how the hands are affecting the club face.
