00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.120
this video is relaxed for shallow arms so a lot of golfers struggle with the

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.800
arms getting steep in transition and we've talked about and when they get steep

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.200
they tend to get more vertical they tend to get active too soon it messes up

4
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:19.040
your sequencing it messes up your low point control for anything other than

5
00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:25.360
the short irons let's say seven iron and above so it's something that a lot of

6
00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:29.560
golfers want to work on because the the longer clubs are a lot of fun to hit

7
00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:35.160
solidly well a lot of golfers feel manipulation when they're trying to

8
00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:39.080
work on these shallow arms and a common thought that I'll I'll say in either

9
00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:43.800
your submission videos or in in-person lessons is I'll get up there and I'll

10
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:48.000
do that little pump and I'll really try to feel how much pressure the golfer is

11
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.280
putting on the club one of the ways to get the club to naturally shallow a

12
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:59.920
little bit easier is to relax your grip pressure especially your right hand

13
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:00.680
there

14
00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:06.460
are a couple studies done in one of the world science of or world scientific

15
00:01:06.460 --> 00:01:10.400
Congress of golf that basically showed that one of the major differences

16
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:10.600
between

17
00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:14.800
tour pros and amateurs was the amount of grip pressure in the right hand or the

18
00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:20.680
trail hand in transition and it impact so a lot of golfers feeling like those

19
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.440
arms you're just kind of noodles getting pulled by the body will help create

20
00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:27.240
that

21
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:31.800
shallow arm movement where if you have a lot of tension and you're trying to

22
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:36.760
artificially kind of create that shallow movement instead of sort of letting it

23
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:43.160
happen that tension in that artificial movement is usually going to cause the

24
00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:47.800
shift from going from shallow during transition to then covering the ball

25
00:01:47.800 --> 00:01:54.080
during the release to be out of out of sync and so I think one telltale sign is

26
00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:59.720
if you tend to kind of get shallow and it just kind of continues and I tend to

27
00:01:59.720 --> 00:02:05.120
hit lots of big blocks so then to correct it instead of getting shallow I

28
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:11.000
just get steep again and kind of have a little bit more of that kind of under

29
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.600
release that's an indicator for me that you're activating your arms too soon

30
00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:21.080
and you're getting really active in transition sometimes feeling in addition

31
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.040
to the movements feeling a softness especially in that right wrist can

32
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:29.640
really help you overcome the barriers to why your arms tend to get steep so you

33
00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:34.040
can use this concept of softening the arms in any of the transition drills so

34
00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:39.680
whether you're doing kind of some pump whether you're doing broken transition

35
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.920
whether you're doing some step drills you can feel that softness of the arms in

36
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.040
any of those complimentary drills and it should help you make the shallowness

37
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:51.160
of

38
00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:55.320
the arms feel a whole lot more natural
