00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280
This video is using a sharks fin or a chest rotation.

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:09.030
So I'm going to show you one of the little setups that I use when working with

3
00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:09.360
students

4
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:14.540
who have more of a stall pattern, but then I'll show you how you can just use

5
00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:15.480
your hand

6
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:16.480
as a simple replacement.

7
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.360
I actually think it's better than what I do in here.

8
00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:25.660
So many common or many golfers struggle with a common issue of their body kind

9
00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:26.800
of stopping

10
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:31.550
or stalling it impact and then a lot of kind of flip and hand action kind of

11
00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:32.760
like that.

12
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:36.330
Well, it's going to take using your arms and hands a little differently down at

13
00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:37.420
the bottom,

14
00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:42.420
but it's also going to take learning to continue your body rotation and your

15
00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:43.420
body pivot.

16
00:00:43.420 --> 00:00:47.790
And one of the problems is that many golfers are just really unaware of what

17
00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:48.280
their upper

18
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.560
body is doing and how to feel what their upper body is doing.

19
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.960
So to help with a more of a visual spatial and to give you a little bit of

20
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:57.560
increased sensitivity,

21
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:03.980
I've got a chest strap on here and then I take a pool noodle that I've attached

22
00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:04.800
some velcro

23
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:09.320
to and I'll put it on their chest just like so.

24
00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:15.020
And now if I was to do let's say a nine to three, if I bring my arms back a

25
00:01:15.020 --> 00:01:16.200
little bit,

26
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.950
you'll see that my left arm gets roughly up against this pool noodle and then I

27
00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:21.540
'll challenge

28
00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:28.290
them to keep the pool noodle and the arm in contact all the way through, kind

29
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:29.060
of like

30
00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:30.060
that.

31
00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:35.000
Now, if you're kind of crafty, you're welcome to try and recreate something

32
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.220
like this, but

33
00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:41.860
basically anything that helps you become more aware of your chest moving on the

34
00:01:41.860 --> 00:01:43.500
way through.

35
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:46.480
One of the other things that I will do is I will put my hand out in front of

36
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:46.860
them and

37
00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:52.700
match this thing here and I will basically have them try and keep that moving

38
00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:53.680
at a constant

39
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.800
speed all the way through the ball.

40
00:01:55.800 --> 00:02:00.140
So for demonstration purposes, let's say you're working on some nine to threes,

41
00:02:00.140 --> 00:02:01.760
you can have

42
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.160
the chest continuing to rotate and basically trying to keep the grip or the

43
00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:07.080
hands in front

44
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:09.560
of the pool noodle as you're working through.

45
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:13.120
Now, I said I'm going to show you how to do this without the pool noodle.

46
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.490
So I actually think this is more useful, especially if you've already been

47
00:02:17.490 --> 00:02:19.460
doing trail arm training.

48
00:02:19.460 --> 00:02:24.210
So what we're going to do is instead of using this as the feedback, you're

49
00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:25.020
going to take

50
00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:29.770
your left hand and place it on your chest vertical and this is where it got the

51
00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:30.140
name

52
00:02:30.140 --> 00:02:31.760
of the shark spin.

53
00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:35.640
So the line or your hand is sticking straight up out in front of your sternum

54
00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:36.420
and now your

55
00:02:36.420 --> 00:02:43.080
goal is to basically keep that moving with the right arm staying relatively in

56
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:43.660
front

57
00:02:43.660 --> 00:02:44.660
of your chest.

58
00:02:44.660 --> 00:02:48.780
You can also do this with the lead arm and this works equally well.

59
00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:53.140
If you remember when I was doing the lead arm or when I was doing the nine to

60
00:02:53.140 --> 00:02:54.420
three version

61
00:02:54.420 --> 00:02:59.460
with the pool noodle, the left arm got roughly up against that pool noodle and

62
00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:00.200
I tried to

63
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:02.340
keep it there all the way through.

64
00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:05.660
And now you'll be able to feel that space a little bit easier than just trying

65
00:03:05.660 --> 00:03:05.940
to be

66
00:03:05.940 --> 00:03:09.260
aware of where your chest is.

67
00:03:09.260 --> 00:03:15.220
So you can do the single arm training and instead of having the hand out of the

68
00:03:15.220 --> 00:03:15.700
way,

69
00:03:15.700 --> 00:03:20.420
you can now use it to increase the feedback of your upper body rotation.

70
00:03:20.420 --> 00:03:25.770
So lead arm, we're going to keep that shark spin moving on the way through,

71
00:03:25.770 --> 00:03:26.620
hopefully

72
00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:31.500
not let it stall or trail arm, we've got it in front and we're just going to

73
00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:32.100
keep that

74
00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:37.190
hands moving at about the same tempo, same pacing all the way through as you're

75
00:03:37.190 --> 00:03:37.780
working

76
00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:39.100
on your release.

77
00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:43.470
So try this drill if you're struggling with more of a stall as it relates to

78
00:03:43.470 --> 00:03:44.180
your flip,

79
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:48.930
especially if you've had success with doing good arm training but then when you

80
00:03:48.930 --> 00:03:49.260
take it

81
00:03:49.260 --> 00:03:53.060
into a bigger swing, it looks like your body stalls, then you have to take a

82
00:03:53.060 --> 00:03:53.660
step back

83
00:03:53.660 --> 00:03:58.410
and work on the body pivot and work on the body stalling so that your arms will

84
00:03:58.410 --> 00:03:58.900
do what

85
00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:00.740
that you've been training them to do.
