Supported Lead Wrist

I know of no better way to train the release than isolating each arm and seeing which arm is causing the release trouble. Frequently, the trail arm is the cause of the poor face control and poor contact. If the lead wrist is skilled with the single arm movements but breaks down when the trail arm contributes, then the supported lead wrist is a great bridge drill to getting to 9 to 3's.

The Strel is the Leachman Supported Lead Rist.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So, coach who showed it to me, Jeff Meat, Leachman.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
We got some similar philosophies on release, and he's got a great way of training that lead arm.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,000
So, you know that I'm a big fan of those single arm releases, whenever you're working on your release training.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
And I've used the open trailhand a lot, where it's supporting the club like this.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
But he showed me another way that you can support the lead arm by basically putting that trail wrist up against that lead arm.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:40,000
So, now I can still do my lead arm kind of single arm strokes.

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Well, basically feeling a little bit of where my right arm would be by putting it up against the lead arm.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,000
The trick here is to make sure that this shoulder is just kind of a right or riding the left arm for the appropriate set of feel,

00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
as opposed to trying to drive the movement.

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So, one of the tendencies that I'll see is that golfers will still try and almost hit it by pushing with that right arm up against the left.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:18,000
So, you have to make sure that this arm is, or the trail arm is really relaxed and just kind of riding and supporting that movement.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Once you've gone to that follow-through position, you can then take that lead arm,

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000
or sorry take the trail arm and place it where it would be, look back at where the ball would kind of take a visual representation.

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,000
But there's a great way to bridge yourself from using just the left arm, or just the lead arm only,

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
to then taking full 9-3 swing drills.

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Once you have a good feeling of the 9-3 swing drills, you can then progress into either three-quarter or full-sleeves.

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So, that the release training you're doing ultimately shows up in your stock full swing.
