00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The drill is trail arm pronation in the backswing.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,000
So some golfers make a really good one piece, take away, keep in that right elbow wide,

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
focusing, you know, keeping it with the core.

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
But then end up getting really flat during their setting phase.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
So it's a less common problem, I don't see it at a time.

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
But if you struggle with it, usually the key is going to be more in this trail wrist.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
So on 3D it's one of those weird graphs that you look at it and it seems like it should

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
be going the other way, but there's a fairly common pattern.

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So the golfers who tend to get a little bit flatter will tend to have not as much pronation

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
or rotation this way of this trail arm.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,000
So once you get into that setting phase, feeling like this lead form is rotating as it sets

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
around that fixed shoulder kind of gives the verticality.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
So if I were to keep supinating and it'll go like this, but if I were to now add pronation

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
it stands the club up.

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
I tend to see it more with that and less with restricting the movement of the lead arm,

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
but potentially it could be the left shoulder as well.

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
So if you get here and the right arm is trying to do this, but the left arm kind of really

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
comes off your body, you can still get flat.

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
That's rare, but the more common one would be you get to here and you just let that

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
form rotate as opposed to letting it rotate.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
The opposite direction almost says if I was doing a throwing movement.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000
So it gets to here and then it pronates and that helps create some of the verticality,

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000
which helps keep the club out in front of you so that when you initiate transition you

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
can let it drop, still get into that good position before your good release.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
So if you're struggling with getting a little bit too flat or laid off at the top,

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
it's usually this trail arm rotation.

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
The tour average is somewhere around 40 degrees and I've seen amateurs as low as 10.

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So when you get really flat it is possible that it's purely this one movement.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
So you hold your arm out in front of you, you basically rotate so that palm is facing

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
down and then extend the wrist.

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Just like we talk about in the backswing step by step.

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
So now we're going to make the good one piece take away and now start starting right

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000
about here really feeling that arm rotate as I go to set.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
That's going to make it feel very upright, but that will allow you to then shallow during

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
transition where often what can happen is if I get too far behind, I won't actually shallow

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
the club.

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
What I'll end up doing is have more vertical drop and often potentially steepening the path

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
of the club.

00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
So if you're struggling with getting the setting phase of your backswing, focus on that

00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
trail arm rotating or pronating to help steepen the shaft so that you can then execute

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
good shallow movements during your transition.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000
So it looks kind of one and then let it rotate as you go to set.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,000
And you can do it in one movement and then you can do it in one movement making contact.
