00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This video is relaxed for shallow arms.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So a lot of golfers struggle with the arms getting steep in transition.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
And when they get steep, they tend to get more vertical, they tend to get active too

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
soon.

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
It messes up your sequencing, it messes up your low point control for anything other

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
than the short irons.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Let's say seven iron and above.

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
So it's something that a lot of golfers want to work on because the longer clubs are

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
a lot of fun to hit, solidly.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Well, a lot of golfers feel manipulation when they're trying to work on the shallow arms.

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
And a common thought that I'll say in either your submission videos or in person lessons

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
is I'll get up there and I'll do that little pump and I'll really try to feel how much pressure

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
the golfer is putting on the club.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
One of the ways to get the club to naturally shallow a little bit easier is to relax your

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
grip pressure, especially your right hand.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
There were a couple of studies done in one of the world science of a world scientific

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
congress of golf that basically showed that one of the major differences between Torpros

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
and Amateurs was the amount of grip pressure in the right hand or the trail hand in transition

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
and it impact.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
So a lot of golfers feeling like those arms are just kind of noodles getting pulled by the

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,000
body will help create that shallow arm movement where if you have a lot of tension and

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
you're trying to artificially kind of create that shallow movement instead of sort of letting

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:45,000
it happen that tension in that artificial movement is usually going to cause the shift from

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
going from shallow during transition to then covering the ball during the release to be

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
out of sync.

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And so I think one tell-tale sign is if you tend to kind of get shallow and it just kind

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
of continues and I tend to hit lots of big blocks.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So then to correct it instead of getting shallow I just get steep again and kind of have a

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
little bit more of that kind of under release.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
That's an indicator for me that you're activating your arms too soon and you're getting

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
really active in transition.

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Sometimes feeling in addition to the movements feeling a softness especially in that

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
right wrist can really help you overcome the barriers to why your arms tend to get steep.

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
So you can use this concept of softening the arms in any of the transition drills so whether

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000
you're doing kind of some pump, whether you're doing broken transition, whether you're

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
doing some step drills.

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
You can feel that softness of the arms in any of those complimentary drills and it

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
should help you make the shallowness of the arms feel a whole lot more natural.
