00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.400
All right, so now we're going to do the first person view of the single arm
2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.040
releases.
3
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.440
I think it's important to see how to actually practice this.
4
00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:13.790
And I always use my lead hand as my guide hand because it is superior to my
5
00:00:13.790 --> 00:00:14.400
right in
6
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:16.880
pretty much every way when it comes to putting.
7
00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:21.240
So here I'm taking my putting stroke and changing my hand position in the
8
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:22.520
follow through.
9
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:26.240
So that felt a little different when I changed positions for where my right
10
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:27.080
hand would want
11
00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:33.550
to go on its own, I noticed I didn't take a practice swing or a backswing on
12
00:00:33.550 --> 00:00:34.520
that last
13
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.970
one because I had an image in my brain that was very vivid of where I wanted
14
00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:39.720
the putter
15
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:40.720
to go.
16
00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:45.120
So I just imagine I was pushing my hand there from the set up position.
17
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:48.290
Now I'm going to check the backswing to figure out what I would have done
18
00:00:48.290 --> 00:00:49.160
differently on the
19
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:50.160
backswing.
20
00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:55.040
Now for me, that feels like my right hand pretty much stayed in place as it
21
00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:56.440
rotated back instead
22
00:00:56.440 --> 00:00:58.000
of swinging back.
23
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.380
So that was a little better one right there.
24
00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:06.080
I think this was the best of all where I really got the right peck involved and
25
00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:06.840
checked my
26
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.720
hand position and it looked like they were about the same.
27
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:16.480
So that's a quick way to go through the right hand versus left hand release.
28
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.520
So that's the right hand versus left hand release.
29
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:27.500
Usually it's just practicing your putting stroke with one hand at a time trying
30
00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:28.360
to make both
31
00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:32.200
hands trace the same path is the best way to put it.
32
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.700
So whatever my left hand is doing my right hand should do if I want to be a
33
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:36.560
good putter.
34
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.920
And so I have to notice the subtle differences between the two takes a little
35
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:40.720
bit of practice
36
00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:44.720
but it can be very, very valuable for smoothing out your stroke.
37
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:50.200
So here I am going through again checking right hand versus left hand.
38
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.000
Notice that right hand that time the wrist got a little bit involved.
39
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.560
So I'm using the left hand and saying okay that's where I want my shoulder to
40
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:58.000
go.
41
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.120
Now you'll notice as you watch this clip that I only hit three balls at a time.
42
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.360
I'm not a big fan of hitting ball after ball after ball because you'll pretty
43
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:07.880
much it's
44
00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:10.760
almost like cheating for a test.
45
00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:14.860
This forces me to have a little bit more time in between each shot to kind of
46
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:15.680
think about
47
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.420
things and let my body imagine or replay what's going on so that I can do it
48
00:02:21.420 --> 00:02:22.000
first
49
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.520
or do it correctly the first time the next time.
50
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.410
So you'll see I just go back and forth working on pretty much not really
51
00:02:30.410 --> 00:02:32.040
worried about aiming
52
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:33.040
at a hole.
53
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.920
I'm just working on getting my hands to make the same movement.
54
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:41.860
And for me I always use my left hand as the guide but that's my personal
55
00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:42.920
tendency.
56
00:02:42.920 --> 00:02:47.260
You may want to, you will start by experimenting with both and then you may
57
00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:48.320
find that your right
58
00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:52.840
hand is a better guide for the left hand like one of my friends back home.
59
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:58.600
So here's a great demonstration on how to do the single arm releases.
60
00:02:58.600 --> 00:03:03.120
I hope that gives you a little bit of insight into how you can practice that
61
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:03.960
when you're
62
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:04.800
working on your own game.
63
00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:08.920

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:10.760
almost like cheating for a test.
45
00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:14.860
This forces me to have a little bit more time in between each shot to kind of
46
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:15.680
think about
47
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.420
things and let my body imagine or replay what's going on so that I can do it
48
00:02:21.420 --> 00:02:22.000
first
49
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.520
or do it correctly the first time the next time.
50
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.410
So you'll see I just go back and forth working on pretty much not really
51
00:02:30.410 --> 00:02:32.040
worried about aiming
52
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:33.040
at a hole.
53
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.920
I'm just working on getting my hands to make the same movement.
54
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:41.860
And for me I always use my left hand as the guide but that's my personal
55
00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:42.920
tendency.
56
00:02:42.920 --> 00:02:47.260
You may want to, you will start by experimenting with both and then you may
57
00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:48.320
find that your right
58
00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:52.840
hand is a better guide for the left hand like one of my friends back home.
59
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:58.600
So here's a great demonstration on how to do the single arm releases.
60
00:02:58.600 --> 00:03:03.120
I hope that gives you a little bit of insight into how you can practice that
61
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:03.960
when you're
62
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:04.800
working on your own game.
63
00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:08.920
You
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.400
All right, so now we're going to do the first person view of the single arm
2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.040
releases.
3
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.440
I think it's important to see how to actually practice this.
4
00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:13.790
And I always use my lead hand as my guide hand because it is superior to my
5
00:00:13.790 --> 00:00:14.400
right in
6
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:16.880
pretty much every way when it comes to putting.
7
00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:21.240
So here I'm taking my putting stroke and changing my hand position in the
8
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:22.520
follow through.
9
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:26.240
So that felt a little different when I changed positions for where my right
10
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:27.080
hand would want
11
00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:33.550
to go on its own, I noticed I didn't take a practice swing or a backswing on
12
00:00:33.550 --> 00:00:34.520
that last
13
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.970
one because I had an image in my brain that was very vivid of where I wanted
14
00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:39.720
the putter
15
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:40.720
to go.
16
00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:45.120
So I just imagine I was pushing my hand there from the set up position.
17
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:48.290
Now I'm going to check the backswing to figure out what I would have done
18
00:00:48.290 --> 00:00:49.160
differently on the
19
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:50.160
backswing.
20
00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:55.040
Now for me, that feels like my right hand pretty much stayed in place as it
21
00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:56.440
rotated back instead
22
00:00:56.440 --> 00:00:58.000
of swinging back.
23
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.380
So that was a little better one right there.
24
00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:06.080
I think this was the best of all where I really got the right peck involved and
25
00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:06.840
checked my
26
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.720
hand position and it looked like they were about the same.
27
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:16.480
So that's a quick way to go through the right hand versus left hand release.
28
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.520
So that's the right hand versus left hand release.
29
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:27.500
Usually it's just practicing your putting stroke with one hand at a time trying
30
00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:28.360
to make both
31
00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:32.200
hands trace the same path is the best way to put it.
32
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.700
So whatever my left hand is doing my right hand should do if I want to be a
33
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:36.560
good putter.
34
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.920
And so I have to notice the subtle differences between the two takes a little
35
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:40.720
bit of practice
36
00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:44.720
but it can be very, very valuable for smoothing out your stroke.
37
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:50.200
So here I am going through again checking right hand versus left hand.
38
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.000
Notice that right hand that time the wrist got a little bit involved.
39
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.560
So I'm using the left hand and saying okay that's where I want my shoulder to
40
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:58.000
go.
41
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.120
Now you'll notice as you watch this clip that I only hit three balls at a time.
42
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.360
I'm not a big fan of hitting ball after ball after ball because you'll pretty
43
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:07.880
much it's
44
00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:10.760
almost like cheating for a test.
45
00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:14.860
This forces me to have a little bit more time in between each shot to kind of
46
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:15.680
think about
47
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.420
things and let my body imagine or replay what's going on so that I can do it
48
00:02:21.420 --> 00:02:22.000

49
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.520
or do it correctly the first time the next time.
50
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.410
So you'll see I just go back and forth working on pretty much not really
51
00:02:30.410 --> 00:02:32.040
worried about aiming
52
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:33.040
at a hole.
53
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.920
I'm just working on getting my hands to make the same movement.
54
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:41.860
