00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.080
This drill is now what? So in the release I frequently see golfers struggling

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:07.620
with

3
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:11.780
this kind of little transition point after they've hit the ball and kind of

4
00:00:11.780 --> 00:00:14.880
feel like they get that arm extension. They're not really sure where the

5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.860
club should go and so I have this drill called now what? Which is basically if

6
00:00:19.860 --> 00:00:24.060
you're working on getting a little bit more of that motorcycle movement and

7
00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:24.360
then

8
00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:29.360
getting a little bit more of that shaft lean and kind of getting to about here

9
00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:34.920
there seems to be a now what I don't know what to do so I like to have golfers

10
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.280
train what's gonna happen from impact all the way to the follow-through

11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:38.760
position.

12
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:45.920
So what'll happen is you should have the club kind of smoothly rotate kind of

13
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.720
like so as a way to absorb the force. What'll happen is a lot of golfers who

14
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:54.360
are used to flipping will get to kind of about here and then when I say okay go

15
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:58.200
to follow-through they'll kind of do this movement so they'll they'll train

16
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.820
that same flip pattern they'll just do it later so what ends up happening is it

17
00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:07.880
doesn't really retrain the pattern to a little bit more of a arm extension

18
00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:11.200
pattern where the club is working away from you and having a little bit more

19
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:16.480
face rotation it ends up being the flip pattern just kind of delayed and then

20
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.480
what ends up happening is that either turns into more of a breakdown of the

21
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.080
lead arm or when you start going back to full swings it's because it's the same

22
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:27.440
pattern just with a different timing you just go back to your old pattern.

23
00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:32.640
So if you're having trouble getting your release to have that good look of that

24
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.760
those arms straighten the arm extending try to work through how the club is

25
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.840
going to look from impact to follow through. So from right about here you'll

26
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:48.080
see that there's a pretty smooth rotation of the club as your hands are

27
00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:53.360
working kind of up the plane line like so. If you get that pattern then what'll

28
00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:58.400
happen is you'll be able to rotate more with your body without fear of the

29
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.320
club actually or without fear of hitting it fat or without fear of hitting it

30
00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:07.200
way left. So training this release is really good for allowing you to power

31
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.960
the body with that rotational pivot that tends to hold up a little bit better

32
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:16.090
under pressure. One of the common places where the release will break down for

33
00:02:16.090 --> 00:02:16.120
a

34
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.720
lot of golfers is not really right here at impact but through here just after

35
00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.560
impact not knowing how to let it just kind of rotate. Let that lead form

36
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:32.000
supinate as Ben Hogan described. So if you're struggling with your release I

37
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.800
challenge you to find a really clear pattern of what you want the club to do

38
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.760
between there and there. If you do that then you will stop seeing the flip

39
00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:47.320
occurring kind of through there.
