00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.640
Okay, this drill is the right arm thrower or the right arm shot put to feel
2
00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:04.940
what the
3
00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:07.920
right hand does during the release phase.
4
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:14.030
So the body position is going to be the same as what you've done during
5
00:00:14.030 --> 00:00:15.540
transition, and
6
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:20.420
we're now going to learn how to get from that transition position into impact.
7
00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:22.410
So what you're going to do is you're going to take a golf ball and you're going
8
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:22.740
to place
9
00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:27.060
it in the center of your palm for your right hand if you're right handed golfer
10
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:27.220
.
11
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:30.450
And then you're going to grab it with your thumb like you were doing a magic
12
00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:31.000
trick and
13
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.480
you wanted to hide it, okay?
14
00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:34.360
So you're going to hold it right in the center here.
15
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:39.110
I don't want you to hold it here because then the wrist has a pretty big strong
16
00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:39.800
lever.
17
00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:42.980
This is more of a shot put movement than it is a true throw.
18
00:00:42.980 --> 00:00:45.840
So you're going to hold it up against the center of your palm towards the heel
19
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:46.200
of your
20
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.200
palm.
21
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.320
You're going to get into your golf posture and then you're going to do a shot
22
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:50.960
put movement
23
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.300
like you were throwing the ball a few feet out in front of you along the target
24
00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:55.720
line,
25
00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:59.480
which would be kind of right about there.
26
00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:04.630
So in position, I'm going to get into that transition position and then from
27
00:01:04.630 --> 00:01:05.300
here I'm
28
00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:06.300
going to extend.
29
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:10.080
Now if you look at my wrist, you'll notice that it still has a little bit of a
30
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:10.440
cup even
31
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:15.160
though my right arm is fully extended.
32
00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:20.340
What I see most amateurs doing in their swing is you would get to hear and then
33
00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:21.200
that wrist
34
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.120
would release like so and it would be more of a throw with just the wrist.
35
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:31.570
I want to get my arm, my tricep, my latinies, big muscles pushing the club down
36
00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:32.560
like so.
37
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.440
So again, that right arm, you're going to get into this delivery position.
38
00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:40.480
You can notice that my palm is facing away from me.
39
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.400
It's not pointing down quite yet or it's not rotated this way.
40
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:50.280
It's actually rotated so my fingers are pointing behind me and then from here I
41
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:51.320
'm going to
42
00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:55.100
extend with just a slight amount of rotation so that my fingers are pointing
43
00:01:55.100 --> 00:01:55.660
right at the
44
00:01:55.660 --> 00:01:57.800
camera right away from me.
45
00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:04.940
If I then magically took a club and put it in the position, you could see that
46
00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:05.720
I would
47
00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:10.840
still have this somewhat angled just after impact before I got to that follow
48
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:11.480
through
49
00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:12.480
position.
50
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:16.990
So this really helps train the right arm of how it should release and then you
51
00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:17.320
can move
52
00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:20.580
on to the single arm release drills to apply it when you're actually hitting a
53
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:21.080
golf ball.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.640
Okay, this drill is the right arm thrower or the right arm shot put to feel
2
00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:04.940
what the
3
00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:07.920
right hand does during the release phase.
4
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:14.030
So the body position is going to be the same as what you've done during
5
00:00:14.030 --> 00:00:15.540
transition, and
6
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:20.420
we're now going to learn how to get from that transition position into impact.
7
00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:22.410
So what you're going to do is you're going to take a golf ball and you're going
8
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:22.740
to place
9
00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:27.060
it in the center of your palm for your right hand if you're right handed golfer
10
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:27.220
.
11
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:30.450
And then you're going to grab it with your thumb like you were doing a magic
12
00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:31.000
trick and
13
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.480
you wanted to hide it, okay?
14
00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:34.360
So you're going to hold it right in the center here.
15
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:39.110
I don't want you to hold it here because then the wrist has a pretty big strong
16
00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:39.800
lever.
17
00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:42.980
This is more of a shot put movement than it is a true throw.
18
00:00:42.980 --> 00:00:45.840
So you're going to hold it up against the center of your palm towards the heel
19
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:46.200
of your
20
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.200
palm.
21
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.320
You're going to get into your golf posture and then you're going to do a shot
22
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:50.960
put movement
23
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.300
like you were throwing the ball a few feet out in front of you along the target
24
00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:55.720

25
00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:59.480

here I'm
28
00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:06.300
going to extend.
29
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:10.080

36
00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:32.560
like so.

palm.
21
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.320
You're going to get into your golf posture and then you're going to do a shot
22
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:50.960
put movement
23
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.300
like you were throwing the ball a few feet out in front of you along the target
24
00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:55.720
line,
25
00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:59.480

going to extend.
29
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:10.080
Now if you look at my wrist, you'll notice that it still has a little bit of a
30
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:10.440

right at the

position.
50
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:16.990
So this really helps train the right arm of how it should release and then you
51
00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:17.320
can move
52
00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:20.580
on to the single arm release drills to apply it when you're actually hitting a
53
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:21.080
golf ball.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.640
Okay, this drill is the right arm thrower or the right arm shot put to feel
2
00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:04.940
what the
3
00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:07.920
right hand does during the release phase.
4
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:14.030
So the body position is going to be the same as what you've done during
5
00:00:14.030 --> 00:00:15.540
transition, and
6
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:20.420
we're now going to learn how to get from that transition position into impact.
7
00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:22.410
So what you're going to do is you're going to take a golf ball and you're going
8
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:22.740
to place
9
00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:27.060
it in the center of your palm for your right hand if you're right handed golfer
10
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:27.220
.
11
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:30.450
And then you're going to grab it with your thumb like you were doing a magic
12
00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:31.000
trick and
13
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.480
you wanted to hide it, okay?
14
00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:34.360
So you're going to hold it right in the center here.
15
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:39.110
I don't want you to hold it here because then the wrist has a pretty big strong
16
00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:39.800
lever.
17
00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:42.980
This is more of a shot put movement than it is a true throw.
18
00:00:42.980 --> 00:00:45.840
So you're going to hold it up against the center of your palm towards the heel
19
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:46.200
of your
20
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.200
palm.
21
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.320
You're going to get into your golf posture and then you're going to do a shot
22
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:50.960
put movement
23
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.300
like you were throwing the ball a few feet out in front of you along the target
24
00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:55.720
line,
25
00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:59.480
which would be kind of right about there.
26
00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:04.630
So in position, I'm going to get into that transition position and then from
27
00:01:04.630 --> 00:01:05.300
here I'm
28
00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:06.300
going to extend.
29
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:10.080
Now if you look at my wrist, you'll notice that it still has a little bit of a
30
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:10.440
cup even
31
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:15.160
though my right arm is fully extended.
32
00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:20.340
What I see most amateurs doing in their swing is you would get to hear and then
33
00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:21.200
that wrist
34
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.120
would release like so and it would be more of a throw with just the wrist.
35
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:31.570
I want to get my arm, my tricep, my latinies, big muscles pushing the club down
36
00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:32.560
like so.
37
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.440
So again, that right arm, you're going to get into this delivery position.
38
00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:40.480
You can notice that my palm is facing away from me.
39
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.400
It's not pointing down quite yet or it's not rotated this way.
40
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:50.280
It's actually rotated so my fingers are pointing behind me and then from here I
41
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:51.320
'm going to
42
00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:55.100
extend with just a slight amount of rotation so that my fingers are pointing
43
00:01:55.100 --> 00:01:55.660
right at the
44
00:01:55.660 --> 00:01:57.800
camera right away from me.
45
00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:04.940
If I then magically took a club and put it in the position, you could see that
46
00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:05.720
I would
47
00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:10.840
still have this somewhat angled just after impact before I got to that follow
48
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:11.480
through
49
00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:12.480
position.
50
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:16.990
So this really helps train the right arm of how it should release and then you
51
00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:17.320
can move
52
00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:20.580
on to the single arm release drills to apply it when you're actually hitting a
53
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:21.080
golf ball.
