00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
This release drill is supported trail wrist.
2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:09.280
So when you're bridging from doing the single arm releases to actually putting
3
00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:09.680
the hands
4
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:14.120
back together on the club, I like to use these supported drills.
5
00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:19.180
The lead wrist is a very popular one where basically you take the trail hand
6
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:19.760
and put
7
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.780
it just on the outside of the lead wrist.
8
00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:26.280
Well I like to do the opposite as well.
9
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:32.010
So I'm going to take my normal grip and then I'm going to support the trail
10
00:00:32.010 --> 00:00:32.800
wrist and I'm
11
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:37.080
going to take my finger so that they're going to basically be up against the
12
00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:37.680
wrist when
13
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:40.240
it's got a little bit of extension in it.
14
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:45.360
So they're kind of off it here and now I'm feeling that contact.
15
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:49.640
So I'm feeling that contact just like so and then I'm going to keep that
16
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.840
contact as my
17
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:52.840
arm extends.
18
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.180
I'm learning to get that white movement, arm extension, timing and direction,
19
00:00:57.180 --> 00:00:58.040
really feeling
20
00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:03.090
that trail arm kind of extending through the shot as opposed to going more from
21
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:03.840
the wrist
22
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.080
and feeling that shoulder kind of release.
23
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:13.320
So it just kind of sits up against that trail wrist and then I'm going to make
24
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:14.240
my single
25
00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:19.350
arm releases just like I would do with the trail arm or if the lead arm was not
26
00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:20.240
supporting
27
00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:21.560
the trail arm.
28
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.040
So from down the line it'll end up looking kind of sort of like that.
29
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.340
If I did that towards the camera you'll see that when I get into that finished
30
00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:34.080
position
31
00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:36.680
I'm still keeping a little bit of contact.
32
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.680
On these short shots the club shouldn't really whip past the hands.
33
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.680
It's more of a body speed and the bracing that causes that to happen.
34
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.720
So when I'm doing these short shots I should still be able to keep a little bit
35
00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:51.520
of extension
36
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:52.520
in the wrist.
37
00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:56.800
We'll look from base on real quick so I'm going to make that back swing so that
38
00:01:56.800 --> 00:01:57.080
it's
39
00:01:57.080 --> 00:02:03.610
just up against the fingertips and then it's going to basically stay there as I
40
00:02:03.610 --> 00:02:04.320
extend
41
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:05.320
that wrist.
42
00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:08.960
So we'll show one more from down the line.
43
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.800
Get into that good kind of grip.
44
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.140
Get into that good trail wrist supported and then keep it there all the way
45
00:02:18.140 --> 00:02:18.960
into that
46
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.680
follow through even though my arms extend.
47
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:29.420
So if you're struggling with taking the feeling of just your trail wrist only
48
00:02:29.420 --> 00:02:31.320
into a 9-3,
49
00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:33.720
this is a good way to kind of bridge it.
50
00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:40.460
You can do that movement and then put the lead hand in place and now I have a
51
00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:41.920
body position
52
00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:46.080
and club position that I can kind of register in my brain.
53
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:52.920
And then I can try to get back there doing the same movement with two hands.
54
00:02:52.920 --> 00:03:00.280
So that sequence again would be supported, feel where that is.
55
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:08.240
And then both hands on, kind of get back to where that supported would go.
56
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.240
Once I have a good feeling of what it's like to get the club to brush the
57
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:11.920
ground with
58
00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:15.680
the ball in the way, then I can start doing some bigger swings, either chest
59
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.240
height or
60
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.520
even work up to full swings to kind of feel that same release movement but a
61
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:21.000
good way to
62
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.110
start bridging it from just the single arm contact drills is with the supported
63
00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:26.800
wrist.

46
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.680
follow through even though my arms extend.
47
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:29.420
So if you're struggling with taking the feeling of just your trail wrist only
48
00:02:29.420 --> 00:02:31.320
into a 9-3,
49
00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:33.720
this is a good way to kind of bridge it.
50
00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:40.460
You can do that movement and then put the lead hand in place and now I have a
51
00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:41.920
body position
52
00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:46.080
and club position that I can kind of register in my brain.
53
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:52.920
And then I can try to get back there doing the same movement with two hands.
54
00:02:52.920 --> 00:03:00.280
So that sequence again would be supported, feel where that is.
55
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:08.240
And then both hands on, kind of get back to where that supported would go.
56
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.240
Once I have a good feeling of what it's like to get the club to brush the
57
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:11.920
ground with
58
00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:15.680
the ball in the way, then I can start doing some bigger swings, either chest
59
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.240
height or
60
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.520
even work up to full swings to kind of feel that same release movement but a
61
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:21.000
good way to
62
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.110
start bridging it from just the single arm contact drills is with the supported
63
00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:26.800
wrist.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
This release drill is supported trail wrist.
2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:09.280
So when you're bridging from doing the single arm releases to actually putting
3
00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:09.680
the hands
4
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:14.120
back together on the club, I like to use these supported drills.
5
00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:19.180
The lead wrist is a very popular one where basically you take the trail hand
6
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:19.760
and put
7
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.780
it just on the outside of the lead wrist.
8
00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:26.280
Well I like to do the opposite as well.
9
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:32.010
So I'm going to take my normal grip and then I'm going to support the trail
10
00:00:32.010 --> 00:00:32.800
wrist and I'm
11
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:37.080
going to take my finger so that they're going to basically be up against the
12
00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:37.680
wrist when
13
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:40.240
it's got a little bit of extension in it.
14
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:45.360
So they're kind of off it here and now I'm feeling that contact.
15
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:49.640
So I'm feeling that contact just like so and then I'm going to keep that
16
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.840
contact as my
17
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:52.840
arm extends.
18
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.180
I'm learning to get that white movement, arm extension, timing and direction,
19
00:00:57.180 --> 00:00:58.040
really feeling
20
00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:03.090
that trail arm kind of extending through the shot as opposed to going more from
21
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:03.840
the wrist
22
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.080
and feeling that shoulder kind of release.
23
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:13.320
So it just kind of sits up against that trail wrist and then I'm going to make
24
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:14.240
my single
25
00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:19.350
arm releases just like I would do with the trail arm or if the lead arm was not
26
00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:20.240
supporting
27
00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:21.560
the trail arm.
28
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.040
So from down the line it'll end up looking kind of sort of like that.
29
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.340
If I did that towards the camera you'll see that when I get into that finished
30
00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:34.080
position
31
00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:36.680
I'm still keeping a little bit of contact.
32
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.680
On these short shots the club shouldn't really whip past the hands.
33
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.680
It's more of a body speed and the bracing that causes that to happen.
34
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.720
So when I'm doing these short shots I should still be able to keep a little bit
35
00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:51.520
of extension
36
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:52.520
in the wrist.
37
00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:56.800
We'll look from base on real quick so I'm going to make that back swing so that
38
00:01:56.800 --> 00:01:57.080
it's
39
00:01:57.080 --> 00:02:03.610
just up against the fingertips and then it's going to basically stay there as I
40
00:02:03.610 --> 00:02:04.320
extend
41
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:05.320
that wrist.
42
00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:08.960
So we'll show one more from down the line.
43
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.800
Get into that good kind of grip.
44
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.140
Get into that good trail wrist supported and then keep it there all the way
45
00:02:18.140 --> 00:02:18.960
into that
46
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.680
follow through even though my arms extend.
47
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:29.420
So if you're struggling with taking the feeling of just your trail wrist only
48
00:02:29.420 --> 00:02:31.320

49

this is a good way to kind of bridge it.
50
00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:40.460
You can do that movement and then put the lead hand in place and now I have a
51
00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:41.920
body position
52
00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:46.080
and club position that I can kind of register in my brain.
