00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.040
This drill is single arm throws. So similar to the ping pong paddle or the

2
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:11.960
single arm releases, I think it can be useful to just work on the single arm

3
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.080
movements while throwing a wall. So I'll walk you through the two different

4
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:20.120
versions. With the trail arm I kind of refer to it as more of a shot put and

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:27.000
with the lead arm I kind of refer to it more as a sling or a fling. But if we

6
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.720
look at the each individual arm and we look at what we're trying to do. With

7
00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:35.520
the trail arm or the right arm for right hand golfer you're gonna want your arm

8
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.520
to work kind of across your belly button as it or in the direction of your

9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.360
belly button as it initiates the wipe and then you're going to want to extend

10
00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:50.520
the elbow before you extend the wrist. So it'll end up kind of looking like so

11
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:55.640
and at the very end the weight of the club will cause the wrist or the

12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.840
momentum of the club and how your body is positioned compared to it will cause

13
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:04.720
the wrist to want to flex. But the the throw itself or the strike itself is

14
00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:10.120
more of like a kind of a palm press. So from a face-on camera it would be

15
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:17.320
almost as if I was trying to do a palm throw at a golf ball somewhere down the

16
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:21.800
target line let's say 30 degrees or maybe three feet. So what you're going to

17
00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:21.920
do

18
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.300
is you're going to take the golf ball and hold it in the center of your palm

19
00:01:25.300 --> 00:01:25.680
and

20
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.040
grip it with your thumb. So not kind of in the fingers as if I was throwing a

21
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.800
ball. If I held it in the fingers then yes I'm going to want a ton of this kind

22
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:37.160
of wrist snap at the end. But if I'm holding in the palm I'm not going to get

23
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:41.080
nearly as much out of the wrist snap so I'm going to encourage getting more of

24
00:01:41.080 --> 00:01:46.080
the force production from the whole arm or from the tricep and the press. So I

25
00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:46.200
've

26
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.160
got it kind of in my arm like the magic trick and then I'm going to do just a

27
00:01:50.160 --> 00:01:54.880
little nine to three where I'm going to throw that ball down in the general

28
00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:02.480
direction of the golf ball. So it'll look kind of like that. So standing here

29
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:09.400
little nine to three throw it just down like that. Now what we'll see is if I

30
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:17.720
were to take the golf club and once I've done that little throw move put it in

31
00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:25.080
place this is roughly what it's going to feel like that trail arm is doing

32
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:25.960
during

33
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:31.800
the release. The reason I will have lost this extension is even though I'm

34
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:32.120
doing

35
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.280
this little palm strike maneuver my body will be bracing and so as that palm

36
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.520
strike is happening now the weight of the club is going to cause me to lose it.

37
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.720
So if I'm just training that single arm release while doing these throw balls I

38
00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:49.040
should still have a little bit of extension in the wrist. Now if I'm doing

39
00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:53.310
the lead arm it's basically going to be I'm going to hold it the same way and I

40
00:02:53.310 --> 00:02:53.640
'm

41
00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:59.560
going to sling this out as if I was kind of pointing my thumb down at that golf

42
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.680
ball. So it would look more like this so if I was to put it there you would

43
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:05.840
kind

44
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.280
of see the inside of the forearm not throwing like this. So we're allowing

45
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.760
some of that gentle supination and rotation of the form to kind of end the

46
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:23.160
release. Once you have kind of a good feeling you can then put the club in and

47
00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:32.480
kind of recreate either the lead arm or there's that throw or the trail arm and

48
00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:37.320
you might become aware of different kind of feelings or sensations or

49
00:03:37.320 --> 00:03:41.960
directions that will then make those single arms easier once you start

50
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:48.800
practicing them in 9 to 3 movements with an actual golf ball. So with that 9 to

51
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:53.360
3 with the actual golf ball it'll be very much like that palm strike as if I

52
00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:02.520
was throwing the ball right down there or with the lead arm it would be more of

53
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:10.240
that kind of sling maneuver with that slight body pivot. Those two combine to

54
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.400
create the release movements that you'll use in your stock full swing but it's

55
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.920
easiest to train in these isolated movements from 9 to 3.
