00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.500
This drill is resisted wrist backswing.
2
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:14.270
So one of the kind of missing links for a lot of golfers to maintain good arm
3
00:00:14.270 --> 00:00:15.260
tension
4
00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:18.200
comes from the movement of the wrist.
5
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.150
Oftentimes what a lot of golfers do is they have a really strong forearm
6
00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:23.080
tension so the
7
00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:28.290
wrist is kind of locked and they do more of the backswing movement here at the
8
00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:28.940
shoulder.
9
00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:32.180
And so if you start to work on getting a little bit more connection in the
10
00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:33.100
shoulder then what
11
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:38.240
happens is they feel like it's only a half swing because they haven't figured
12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:38.560
out how
13
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.250
to create any movement of the wrist and that movement of the wrist helps to
14
00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:42.880
build that
15
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.520
tension all the way into the shoulder, mostly the trail arm.
16
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.720
So what we're going to do is we're going to take our towel and we're going to
17
00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:50.200
get into
18
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:55.410
our golf posture and we're going to hold the towel pretty close to the way we
19
00:00:55.410 --> 00:00:55.760
would have
20
00:00:55.760 --> 00:00:59.910
our normal grip as far as the V's kind of pointing this way but we're going to
21
00:00:59.910 --> 00:01:00.480
create
22
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.380
some tension by pulling apart kind of like this.
23
00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:07.120
So you want to grip it pretty close so that your hands are close together.
24
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.260
You don't want to be gripping it too far apart like this.
25
00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:13.460
So we're gripping it close together but our thumbs are pointing away kind of
26
00:01:13.460 --> 00:01:13.960
like that
27
00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:18.690
and now what we're going to do is you can see if I try to extend the wrist so
28
00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:19.320
if I try
29
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:24.520
to do this motion like this I can resist it by pulling this way.
30
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:28.870
I don't want to resist it by going into extension more I want to resist it by
31
00:01:28.870 --> 00:01:29.880
feeling like this
32
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:34.200
left shoulder is the anchor and I'm kind of pulling it away there.
33
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.730
So now I've got those two pulling I can feel like my arms and shoulders are
34
00:01:37.730 --> 00:01:39.120
much more connected
35
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:44.330
and now I'm going to make a backswing where I feel like that wrist is going to
36
00:01:44.330 --> 00:01:44.760
make this
37
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.060
motion here and I'm going to feel some different muscles in my shoulders
38
00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:49.000
getting active.
39
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.270
So I'm going to get set up create that tension increase that tension as I'm
40
00:01:54.270 --> 00:01:55.400
making my back
41
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:56.400
swing.
42
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.750
Now I'm going to do one where I look at the golf ball because that'll challenge
43
00:01:58.750 --> 00:01:59.080
my neck
44
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:04.290
flexibility or it'll make my swing my drill a little bit more realistic
45
00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:05.160
sometimes if you're
46
00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:08.650
focusing on your hands you'll end up kind of like moving way off the ball or
47
00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:09.400
just having
48
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.240
an abnormal pivot.
49
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.840
So now I'm going to look at the golf ball and I'm going to make that pivot.
50
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.640
Now I've got a feel I've got a visual I've got kind of a checkpoint whenever I
51
00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:19.200
'm doing
52
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:24.400
kind of an exaggeration drill like this I would tend to like to start with a
53
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:24.400
little
54
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.280
bit more of a freezer drill or a hit from the top.
55
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.170
So I'm going to go up to the top get into that position that still feels the
56
00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:31.640
same I've
57
00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:35.590
got a really strong sense in this right arm that I got from that that little
58
00:02:35.590 --> 00:02:36.360
towel drill
59
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:43.520
so I'm up to there and then I'm going to swing through.
60
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.120
One of the benefits of a pause drill is it gives you time to kind of collect
61
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:47.680
and really
62
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.800
work on your sequencing for leading transition.
63
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:56.820
So it combos getting your backswing into a certain position but it also combos
64
00:02:56.820 --> 00:02:57.840
initiating
65
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.920
that transition with your lower body.
66
00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:03.990
So I highly recommend pause drills at some point during the year as part of
67
00:03:03.990 --> 00:03:04.960
your backswing
68
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.960
training.
69
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:11.200
Okay, so we'll do that one more time and the goal would be to as I practice it
70
00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:11.760
more and
71
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:15.120
more to still pause but decrease the amount of pause.
72
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.960
So I'm going to create that tension in the wrist.
73
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:26.150
There's my feel so now tension in the wrist pause and then good transition let
74
00:03:26.150 --> 00:03:26.940
my body
75
00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:29.920
bring it through and just get into a good follow through position.
76
00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:33.900
So try that if you're struggling with getting feeling connection and getting
77
00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:34.640
your body and
78
00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:37.410
your arms to sink up at the top of the swing, you have a little bit more of an
79
00:03:37.410 --> 00:03:38.000
arm dominant
80
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.640
swing or a little bit too much upper body sway off the ball.
81
00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:47.120
This resisted wrist backswing drill can help clean that up.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.500
This drill is resisted wrist backswing.
2
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:14.270
So one of the kind of missing links for a lot of golfers to maintain good arm
3
00:00:14.270 --> 00:00:15.260
tension
4
00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:18.200
comes from the movement of the wrist.
5
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.150
Oftentimes what a lot of golfers do is they have a really strong forearm
6
00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:23.080

7
00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:28.290
wrist is kind of locked and they do more of the backswing movement here at the
8
00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:28.940
shoulder.
9
00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:32.180
And so if you start to work on getting a little bit more connection in the
10
00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:33.100
shoulder then what
11
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:38.240

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.500
This drill is resisted wrist backswing.
2
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:14.270
So one of the kind of missing links for a lot of golfers to maintain good arm
3
00:00:14.270 --> 00:00:15.260
tension
4
00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:18.200
comes from the movement of the wrist.
5
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.150
Oftentimes what a lot of golfers do is they have a really strong forearm
6
00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:23.080
tension so the
7
00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:28.290
wrist is kind of locked and they do more of the backswing movement here at the
8
00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:28.940
shoulder.

00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:32.180
And so if you start to work on getting a little bit more connection in the
10
00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:33.100
shoulder then what
11
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:38.240
happens is they feel like it's only a half swing because they haven't figured
12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:38.560
out how
13
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.250
to create any movement of the wrist and that movement of the wrist helps to
14
00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:42.880
build that
15
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.520
tension all the way into the shoulder, mostly the trail arm.
16
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.720
So what we're going to do is we're going to take our towel and we're going to
17
00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:50.200
get into
18
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:55.410
our golf posture and we're going to hold the towel pretty close to the way we
19
00:00:55.410 --> 00:00:55.760
would have
20
00:00:55.760 --> 00:00:59.910
our normal grip as far as the V's kind of pointing this way but we're going to
21
00:00:59.910 --> 00:01:00.480
create
22
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.380
some tension by pulling apart kind of like this.
23
00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:07.120
So you want to grip it pretty close so that your hands are close together.
24
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.260
You don't want to be gripping it too far apart like this.
25
00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:13.460
So we're gripping it close together but our thumbs are pointing away kind of
26
00:01:13.460 --> 00:01:13.960
like that
27
00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:18.690
and now what we're going to do is you can see if I try to extend the wrist so
28
00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:19.320
if I try
29
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:24.520
to do this motion like this I can resist it by pulling this way.
30
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:28.870
I don't want to resist it by going into extension more I want to resist it by
31
00:01:28.870 --> 00:01:29.880
feeling like this
32
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:34.200
left shoulder is the anchor and I'm kind of pulling it away there.
33
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.730
So now I've got those two pulling I can feel like my arms and shoulders are
34
00:01:37.730 --> 00:01:39.120
much more connected
35
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:44.330
and now I'm going to make a backswing where I feel like that wrist is going to
36
00:01:44.330 --> 00:01:44.760
make this
37
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.060
motion here and I'm going to feel some different muscles in my shoulders
38
00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:49.000
getting active.
39
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.270
So I'm going to get set up create that tension increase that tension as I'm
40
00:01:54.270 --> 00:01:55.400
making my back
41
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:56.400
swing.
42
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.750
Now I'm going to do one where I look at the golf ball because that'll challenge
43
00:01:58.750 --> 00:01:59.080
my neck
44
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:04.290
flexibility or it'll make my swing my drill a little bit more realistic
45
00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:05.160
sometimes if you're
46
00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:08.650
focusing on your hands you'll end up kind of like moving way off the ball or
47
00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:09.400
just having
48
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.240
an abnormal pivot.
49
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.840
So now I'm going to look at the golf ball and I'm going to make that pivot.
50
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.640
Now I've got a feel I've got a visual I've got kind of a checkpoint whenever I
51
00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:19.200
'm doing
52
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:24.400
kind of an exaggeration drill like this I would tend to like to start with a
53
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:24.400
little
54
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.280
bit more of a freezer drill or a hit from the top.
55
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.170
So I'm going to go up to the top get into that position that still feels the
56
00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:31.640
same I've
57
00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:35.590
got a really strong sense in this right arm that I got from that that little
58
00:02:35.590 --> 00:02:36.360
towel drill
59
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:43.520
so I'm up to there and then I'm going to swing through.
60
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.120
One of the benefits of a pause drill is it gives you time to kind of collect
61
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:47.680
and really
62
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.800
work on your sequencing for leading transition.
63
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:56.820
So it combos getting your backswing into a certain position but it also combos
64
00:02:56.820 --> 00:02:57.840
initiating
65
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.920
that transition with your lower body.
66
00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:03.990
So I highly recommend pause drills at some point during the year as part of
67
00:03:03.990 --> 00:03:04.960
your backswing
68
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.960
training.
69
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:11.200
Okay, so we'll do that one more time and the goal would be to as I practice it
70
00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:11.760
more and
71
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:15.120
more to still pause but decrease the amount of pause.
72
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.960
So I'm going to create that tension in the wrist.
73
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:26.150
There's my feel so now tension in the wrist pause and then good transition let
74
00:03:26.150 --> 00:03:26.940
my body
75
00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:29.920
bring it through and just get into a good follow through position.
76
00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:33.900
So try that if you're struggling with getting feeling connection and getting
77
00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:34.640
your body and
78
00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:37.410
your arms to sink up at the top of the swing, you have a little bit more of an
79
00:03:37.410 --> 00:03:38.000
arm dominant
80
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.640
swing or a little bit too much upper body sway off the ball.
81
00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:47.120
This resisted wrist backswing drill can help clean that up.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.500
This drill is resisted wrist backswing.
2
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:14.270
So one of the kind of missing links for a lot of golfers to maintain good arm
3
00:00:14.270 --> 00:00:15.260
tension
4
00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:18.200
comes from the movement of the wrist.
5
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.150
Oftentimes what a lot of golfers do is they have a really strong forearm
6
00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:23.080
tension so the
7
00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:28.290
wrist is kind of locked and they do more of the backswing movement here at the
8
00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:28.940
shoulder.
9
00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:32.180
And so if you start to work on getting a little bit more connection in the
10
00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:33.100
shoulder then what
11
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:38.240
happens is they feel like it's only a half swing because they haven't figured
12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:38.560
out how
13
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.250
to create any movement of the wrist and that movement of the wrist helps to
14
00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:42.880
build that
15
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.520
