SAMI - Release
Use the SAMI with either arm to focus on the key arm movements during the release. With the trail arm, you can focus on the timing of the arm extension or you can monitor too much internal rotation of the shoulder. With the lead arm you can focus on the flexion of the lead wrist timing and the extension of the lead elbow.

This drill is release training with the Sammy. So the Sammy is one of Martin
2
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:09.960
Chucks newest training aids which I was able to take a look at and I thought it
3
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:16.240
was actually pretty cool. So I bootlegged my own. It's simply a
4
00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:21.840
badge retractor, right? So an ID badge retractor with an alligator clip. So if
5
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:24.880
you order that you have to make sure you order that type. And then all I did
6
00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:25.040
was
7
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:32.800
put a rubber band instead of the ID badge holder. So I actually like this
8
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:37.640
attachment better because I've got other attachments that I've created that
9
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:37.920
work
10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:43.320
with this for how you're potentially training a club. So I'll show you what
11
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.720
this does. Essentially I can use it in a variety of different ways and I'll
12
00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:51.280
probably have a series of videos here to help you see how to use them. First
13
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:51.480
one
14
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:55.400
I'm going to do is the trail arm. So I'm just going to take the alligator clip
15
00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:59.480
part and I'm going to go to the shoulder or the shirt seam and kind of grab a
16
00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:04.040
hunk of clothing and put in there and then take the rubber band and place it
17
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.520
either around my thumb or what I actually like to do is put it around my pinky
18
00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:14.560
kind of like this. So now if I have it around my pinky I can feel a little bit
19
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:22.040
of resistance and I can hear noise if I was to bend this. So if I'm working on
20
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.920
getting a little bit more width in the backswing this provides some pretty good
21
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.080
resistance. Or if I'm working on training more of this roll where I'd hit
22
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:38.240
the chord if I were to actually roll versus if I was to wipe it pretty much
23
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:44.840
go straight along the chord this gives me some a little bit of auditory
24
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:45.240
feedback.
25
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:50.480
So it gives me some tactile as well but I really like the auditory component of
26
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:58.140
how you can hear the chord extend through the shot as opposed to a lot of golf
27
00:01:58.140 --> 00:01:58.320
ers
28
00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:03.320
who would more bend and wouldn't hear anything. I can also train this on the
29
00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:08.560
left shoulder or the left arm where if I put it in about the same position just
30
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.280
as a kind of a general reference and then put it through in this case I do like
31
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:22.680
the left thumb but you can again put it more with the left pinky. Either way it
32
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.600
helps me feel that little bit of arm extension and hear a little bit of arm
33
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:32.480
extension through the release. You don't hear it quite as much as you feel it
34
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:38.120
with this side because it's not changing quite as drastically. So then doing
35
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:38.240
that
36
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:44.440
release focusing on letting that arm extend instead of letting it contract.
37
00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:47.760
There's a variety of different ways I like to use this but these are two that
