Improve Trail Arm Timing for Better Ball Striking

After this video, you'll be able to:

  • Recognize the importance of delaying your right arm extension for better impact.
  • Use auditory feedback to fine-tune your timing and improve consistency.
  • Identify how your arm timing affects ball flight and make necessary adjustments.

In this drill, you'll learn how to use the SAMI tool to enhance your trail arm timing during your swing. This timing is crucial for achieving solid contact and improving your overall performance on the course.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.060
This is right arm extension timing with the bootleg Sammy so the Sammy is a

2
00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:06.720
cool

3
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:12.280
little spatial awareness trainer through Torre striker or you can make one by

4
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:18.200
ordering a alligator clip badge retractor and then attaching a rubber band to

5
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:18.320
it

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.600
and actually prefer the rubber band to the the fixed loop that comes with the

7
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:30.680
Sammy and having the having the badge retractor end allows you to attach

8
00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:34.710
multiple things like tees that could go in the club or different attachments

9
00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:34.920
like

10
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.320
an extra alligator clip but what we're gonna do in this one is we will train

11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.360
the timing of this right arm extension so basically what I've done is I've

12
00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:48.000
taken the badge retractor attached it to my shirt sleeve up at the shoulder and

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.520
then placed it around my thumb so now if I was to make a backswing I can hear a

14
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.440
little bit of shortening as that arm bends now if I got to the top and I

15
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:03.840
really straighten my arm I can hear the timing of when this badge retractor is

16
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.650
getting pulled out hopefully you can pick it up on this microphone what I want

17
00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:07.880
to

18
00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:12.240
do is I'm gonna keep that pretty much the same until I get to about here and

19
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:21.720
then extend later and later through the downswing as opposed to trying to

20
00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:30.080
straighten it earlier and earlier so if I'm if I'm aware of when this timing is

21
00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:35.840
happening what I'll find is that I've I may create a new challenge for my

22
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.200
brain to figure out if I'm delaying the arm timing and I'm hitting it really

23
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.360
thin it means that I'm probably standing up installing and so if I do delay the

24
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:47.520
arm timing the club's not getting all the way down to the ground or if I

25
00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:51.040
delay the arm timing in the balls hitting it relatively solidly but it's

26
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.120
going way off to the right then it means that I'm using the early timing of the

27
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:59.760
right arm to square the club face using this little retractor as auditory

28
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.720
feedback can help you work on the timing if you then find that when you have

29
00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:05.040
good

30
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.890
timing of the arm extension but the ball is either not being hit solidly or it

31
00:02:08.890 --> 00:02:09.000
's

32
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.960
going off to the right then that gives you a new problem that you need to solve

33
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.040
but stick with the arm timing because that's gonna be really helpful for

34
00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:20.320
helping you build this body dominant pivot
