00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.520
This drill is the Palm Strike or Shaft Press drill and the purpose of this is
2
00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:10.480
to feel how the trail arm releases the club from delivery position. So if you
3
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.680
recall from the last section delivery position is when you've got it kind of
4
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:19.800
over here in the shot put breakdancer delivery zone and then from here what
5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:24.200
we're going to do is you're essentially going to extend your arm and let the
6
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:29.280
forearm rotate but not collapse the wrist. So it's not like I'm throwing
7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.480
something this way it's more like I'm doing a shot put or slamming the ball in
8
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:38.200
the ground if you remember from the trail arm throw drill. So one of the
9
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.120
reasons why this is so critical is if you take a golf club right this is a
10
00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:49.320
this is my seven iron and you place it on the ground so that the sole is flat
11
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:50.520
so
12
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.000
as you can see if you sole the club you can see that the handle is ahead of the
13
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.680
ball just like so if the club is sitting flat. Now if I was to go from this
14
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:04.440
position and do that right arm throw shot put drill you can see how my
15
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:08.920
hand is going to fit on to the club having a little bit of an angle like this.
16
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.400
If I was to release like so you can see that it would now fit very very
17
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.040
differently from how I normally grip the club. The other interesting thing to
18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.640
look at is this is my seven iron and you can see that the handle of the club is
19
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:29.760
at a certain angle. If I was to take the pitching wedge and sole it you can see
20
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.040
how it's at a little bit different of an angle it's actually intended to be hit
21
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:40.680
with possibly more shaft lean whereas if I add a more complicated here's the
22
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.840
five iron and I have that soldering you can see how it's just slightly ahead so
23
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:53.000
it gives you a little bit of the spectrum. We've got five iron like so seven
24
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:53.080
iron
25
00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:57.880
like so and then wedge like so it shows how these clubs are designed to be hit.
26
00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:05.640
So if I put the club in the position where it's supposed to be close to impact
27
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:10.720
then I can practice getting into a good impact position and now practice
28
00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:16.000
delivering my arm in that shot put motion with the club right there and
29
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.520
it's gonna your goal is to kind of get the hand to match up with the shaft and
30
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:27.160
then once you've done that you can take a few practice where it basically goes
31
00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:31.560
back to that same position because I'm doing a shot put move I'm not doing a
32
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:39.680
flip or a wrist extension or reflection move okay so this is the the palm press
33
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.320
or shaft strike and it helps to learn where you're trying to get your hands
34
00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:48.600
to go during the release phase.
