1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.440
This drill is supported supination.

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.480
So this is one of my go-to drills if you're working on getting supination.

3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.520
The key here is to make sure it's a forearm movement and not a shoulder

4
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:15.440
movement or that

5
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:19.610
the order of the rotation happens from the forearm first and then the shoulder

6
00:00:19.610 --> 00:00:20.560
second.

7
00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:25.940
So this is very helpful for golfers who have more of a chicken wing or more of

8
00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:26.520
kind of

9
00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:30.360
a hold-off where the lead hand stays on top.

10
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:34.500
It can also help golfers who tend to have a little bit more of a look of the

11
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:35.040
butt of

12
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:42.480
the club stopping at impact and the club passing very quickly through impact.

13
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:45.720
So on paper it's a pretty easy drill.

14
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:51.160
We're just going to hold the upper arm so that the bicep stays pointing in.

15
00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:55.780
Now easy place to hold it is right down here at kind of the point of the elbow.

16
00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:59.600
So if you bend your arm and you kind of feel the inside and outside bone we're

17
00:00:59.600 --> 00:00:59.800
going to

18
00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:04.230
hold those just like this and if I'm holding on the inside I can kind of block

19
00:01:04.230 --> 00:01:05.140
the shoulder

20
00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:06.140
motion.

21
00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:08.870
So this will help if I'm blocking the shoulder motion this will help my elbows

22
00:01:08.870 --> 00:01:09.480
stay pointing

23
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:14.760
at the target and then I'm going to try to get the rotation of the movement

24
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:14.880
happening

25
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:16.200
there at the forearm.

26
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.400
And I'll often do this with like a little two pound weight at first just to

27
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:21.200
kind of like

28
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.770
activate some of those muscles and then I'll get down in golf posture and I'll

29
00:01:24.770 --> 00:01:25.280
try to do

30
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.860
it into a little bit more of kind of a dynamic feel.

31
00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:32.100
Almost like I was if I had a hand here and I was kind of like smacking

32
00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:32.900
something like

33
00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:40.260
that but I'm doing it from the forearm not by pulling the shoulder across.

34
00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:47.500
The shoulder isn't going to really pull until you get out here past impact.

35
00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:52.690
So then the first stage I do of this drill is actually probably the hardest

36
00:01:52.690 --> 00:01:52.980
which is

37
00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:58.260
you're going to have a very short finish where you just finish when this sup

38
00:01:58.260 --> 00:01:59.220
ination ends.

39
00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:03.260
So it's going to be similar to like the gravity release.

40
00:02:03.260 --> 00:02:08.540
I'm going to have that arm maybe even exaggerated turned in and now I'm going

41
00:02:08.540 --> 00:02:09.460
to feel like I

42
00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:16.840
do a little bit of that supination and you'll see it because I didn't continue

43
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:17.460
turning with

44
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:23.630
my body and I didn't let the shoulder move it stopped me very short after

45
00:02:23.630 --> 00:02:24.660
impact.

46
00:02:24.660 --> 00:02:30.490
Now also because of this movement the swing continued to lengthen it wasn't

47
00:02:30.490 --> 00:02:31.460
working away

48
00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:34.570
from the ground it was continuing to work down to the ground and I was able to

49
00:02:34.570 --> 00:02:34.860
make

50
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:36.660
really solid contact.

51
00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:38.180
So we're going to do that again.

52
00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:44.010
So we're going to feel like we isolate that forearm a little bit elbow, stays

53
00:02:44.010 --> 00:02:44.900
pointing.

54
00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:48.970
So my goal is to finish with full supination where the back of the hand and the

55
00:02:48.970 --> 00:02:49.560
elbow are

56
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.100
pointing in the same direction.

57
00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:56.230
What often happens is if you turn that shoulder now the elbow is pointing this

58
00:02:56.230 --> 00:02:56.860
way and the

59
00:02:56.860 --> 00:03:00.550
glove hand is this way I still have a lot of supination left and usually what I

60
00:03:00.550 --> 00:03:00.940
would

61
00:03:00.940 --> 00:03:05.150
do there is I would do too much with the shoulder either pull or go into too

62
00:03:05.150 --> 00:03:06.100
much external

63
00:03:06.100 --> 00:03:07.100
rotation.

64
00:03:07.100 --> 00:03:11.170
Okay so now we're going to add a little bit more of a follow through so we're

65
00:03:11.170 --> 00:03:11.700
going to

66
00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:17.810
do kind of a 9 to 3 or more of a belly button height and what you'll see is on

67
00:03:17.810 --> 00:03:18.660
this.

68
00:03:18.660 --> 00:03:23.940
Now when I get to here I'm still kind of holding off that forearm rotation so

69
00:03:23.940 --> 00:03:24.780
it still feels

70
00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:28.420
like the elbow is pointing more up or turned in.

71
00:03:28.420 --> 00:03:30.900
For some of you if you're used to doing it all with the shoulder that's going

72
00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:31.180
to feel

73
00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:36.460
like I haven't really even released it but because I got the release from that

74
00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:38.340
the forearm

75
00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:45.720
I also feel a sense of a release and this feeling of connectedness or stability

76
00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:46.080
in the

77
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.800
tension in my arm motion.

78
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.680
So now as we go past that position the shoulder is going to go and we're going

79
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:53.500
to lose a little

80
00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:58.780
bit of it and we're going to feel a little bit more like a 3/4 finish so maybe

81
00:03:58.780 --> 00:03:59.020
more of

82
00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:00.420
a 10 to 2.

83
00:04:00.420 --> 00:04:06.250
So we're going to get into that same feel and you'll see as I started to get

84
00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:07.140
past here

85
00:04:07.140 --> 00:04:11.230
and let the shoulder go my arms naturally had a little bit more of a fold and

86
00:04:11.230 --> 00:04:11.860
it's when

87
00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:16.340
I have that fold that the shoulder tends to do more of its rotation movement.

88
00:04:16.340 --> 00:04:20.510
So the three progressions you're going to do kind of like that short finish

89
00:04:20.510 --> 00:04:21.360
then you're

90
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.710
going to do short finish with more body turn to get to that 9 to 3 and then you

91
00:04:25.710 --> 00:04:26.340
're going

92
00:04:26.340 --> 00:04:31.050
to do through the 9 to 3 starting to let the shoulder rotate to come up towards

93
00:04:31.050 --> 00:04:31.560
the 10

94
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.840
to 2 as you add more speed on both sides or length on both sides it'll

95
00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:37.640
naturally help

96
00:04:37.640 --> 00:04:40.360
you get into that more full finish.

97
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.360
So you can go through this little progression especially the isolation drill

98
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.120
that's a good

99
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.690
gym work, mirror work, homework drill if you're struggling with getting a

100
00:04:48.690 --> 00:04:49.880
little bit more

101
00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:56.680
form supination to help with consistency of club face and path and low point.
