This is the shoulder blade backswing. So the shoulder

1
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:11.600
blade backswing is a drill for

2
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:14.300
golfers who tend to create too much

3
00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:17.400
arm lift in the in the backswing and really

4
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:21.400
when they go to lift arm, especially the trail arm kind

5
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:23.900
of has more of a look like this where the shoulder

6
00:00:23.900 --> 00:00:27.400
blade stays in a rounded position as opposed

7
00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:30.800
to feeling like that shoulder comes back

8
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.200
in the spine is going into more extension oftentimes

9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.100
when golfers are working on

10
00:00:36.100 --> 00:00:39.200
this I would say the first 10 Rapture. So

11
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.500
it's gonna feel extremely foreign. If you need this if

12
00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.200
you need more shoulder blade retraction, it's gonna

13
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.300
feel very stiff got one student to describes

14
00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:52.400
it like feeling like Frankenstein walking around but what

15
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:54.000
you'll see on video is you're gonna

16
00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:57.300
create much better with you're gonna get much more turn you're gonna

17
00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.700
feel some more load in your core and that ultimately creates

18
00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:03.500
more of an easy power source rather than

19
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:04.600
a big arm.

20
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:08.400
Tricep whipping load action. So for

21
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.200
the backswing shoulder blade we're going to do a couple

22
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.100
different versions to feel essentially more

23
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:17.700
movement at the right shoulder blade

24
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.500
pulling back rather than just

25
00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:23.300
bending the arm in order to set it.

26
00:01:23.300 --> 00:01:26.800
So if I was doing kind of a backswing drill instead

27
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:29.400
of just focusing on the arms lifting up here where this stays

28
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.000
forward I'm gonna focus on this shoulder blade pulling back

29
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.600
to help create the turn in the lift kind

30
00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:38.300
of more like this. It'll feel like the arm is stiff, but you'll

31
00:01:38.300 --> 00:01:40.100
see on the camera that you're still bending the arm.

32
00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:44.300
So first version, we're gonna put our arms together

33
00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:48.000
out in front and then we're gonna make a backswing or

34
00:01:47.300 --> 00:01:50.300
a takeaway movement. And now we're gonna try

35
00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:53.400
to keep this right arm straight and we're going to try to bring that

36
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.600
shoulder blade back and we're gonna try to set the wrist now

37
00:01:56.600 --> 00:01:59.200
you'll see in doing so I get a little bit of

38
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.500
Bend in the arm, but it's driven more from

39
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.500
what's happening at the wrist not from actively pulling with

40
00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:08.500
the bicep to lift the arm. So one and

41
00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:10.800
then shoulder blade and wrist.

42
00:02:11.700 --> 00:02:14.400
Is gonna be the widest stiffest swing

43
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.200
you've ever felt but when oftentimes when

44
00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:20.600
you look at it on the camera, you're gonna say wow it that

45
00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:23.300
doesn't look as short or as stiff as it feel. In fact,

46
00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:24.300
it feels pretty good.

47
00:02:25.100 --> 00:02:28.400
The other way I like to do it is all often use

48
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.400
a high cable. So if we can imagine a cable

49
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.800
pulling up there, I don't have anywhere around here. Usually I

50
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.500
have to hold it and I don't have anybody here today.

51
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:41.500
But if I had a high cable machine kind of pulling this

52
00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:44.400
way now what I'm going to do and you could

53
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.200
potentially just do it with a club. But if I had a high cable

54
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:50.700
or a rubber band pulling this way, I'm going to pull that

55
00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:53.300
shoulder blade back and I'm gonna rotate my

56
00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:56.400
left side to come meet it. So I'm pulling this shoulder blade

57
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.400
back and rotating that left side to come eat it. Most of

58
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.400
you are going to feel a lot more movement here. If you're

59
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.500
one of the golfers who needs this who tends to lift you're gonna

60
00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.700
feel like this normally doesn't move where now my

61
00:03:08.700 --> 00:03:11.300
sternum my chest my ribs. Those are removing a whole

62
00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:11.600
lot more.

63
00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:15.700
So then last version I'm just going to take the club. I'm

64
00:03:15.700 --> 00:03:18.000
going to do that same thing. And now I'm going to

65
00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:22.200
put my left hand in place. And this is going to feel very

66
00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:24.300
wide. This

67
00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:27.200
is gonna feel very stiff oftentimes. I like to

68
00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:30.200
combo this with a hit from the top. So I'm going to feel like I

69
00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:31.100
get there.

70
00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:33.700
Well, there we go set that.

71
00:03:34.700 --> 00:03:37.600
And then I'm just going to try and swing from there again.

72
00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:40.300
It's gonna feel very stiff in the arms and

73
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:43.400
it might feel steep. You might hit a bunch of pulls because

74
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.400
oftentimes when you lift the arm and pull

75
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.500
it back like this those help create depth and shallowness.

76
00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:52.200
So now when it's here, you can see that that moves the

77
00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:55.400
club more that way so I can get more of

78
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.900
the shallowing happening from some external

79
00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:02.100
rotation or from some lead forearm

80
00:04:01.100 --> 00:04:02.500
rotation.

81
00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:06.200
Or from extending that wrist and a more

82
00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:06.900
down that way.

83
00:04:07.700 --> 00:04:09.900
So let's do one more of those hit from the top.

84
00:04:10.700 --> 00:04:13.500
so we're going to go up to the top check it

85
00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:14.800
good and then

86
00:04:15.700 --> 00:04:18.700
From there just swing was a

87
00:04:18.700 --> 00:04:18.700
little.

88
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.000
Not great. Let's see if we can do one more good one.

89
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.600
Okay, so we're gonna go up to

90
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.100
the top stop and then from there.

91
00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:31.000
That was better.

92
00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:35.300
Now we're gonna try to shorten that pause. We're gonna

93
00:04:35.300 --> 00:04:38.600
try to make that pause take zero time

94
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.400
or you know a Split Second.

95
00:04:42.700 --> 00:04:45.000
So shortening the pause I'm gonna

96
00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:45.800
go up to the top.

97
00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:51.300
And it'll look like it was continuous motion, but it felt like

98
00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:54.600
there was just a slight pause for one one Split

99
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.400
Second before I came down. Like I

100
00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:00.400
said, it will feel very stiff. If you're used to bending it.

101
00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:03.600
So use video or launch monitor to confirm oftentimes, you

102
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.500
won't lose speed oftentimes, you will gain ball

103
00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:09.100
speed because it's a lot easier to get the arms in front

104
00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:12.700
and get shaft lean if the arm hasn't drifted so far behind but you

105
00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:15.700
will definitely see a lot more width and body rotation.

106
00:05:15.700 --> 00:05:18.500
So use that if you tend to collapse the arms in the

107
00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:19.000
backswing
