00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.740
This drill is T-Rex Unhinging, so it's also been called Alligator Unhinging,
2
00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:07.040
but I kind
3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.440
of think the T-Rex is a little cooler, so we're going to call this T-Rex Unhing
4
00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:11.000
ing, and
5
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:17.680
it's learning to feel the movement of the wrist, so the wrist doing the unhing
6
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:18.640
ing while
7
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.690
the elbows are doing the wipe, because some golfers can get a little bogged
8
00:00:23.690 --> 00:00:24.600
down trying
9
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:30.030
to do both, and it can lead to kind of some toxic or paralysis by analysis
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:31.240
situations,
11
00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:34.080
where you feel like you're doing conflicting movements.
12
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:38.710
So one of the keys in some of these unhinging drills is that unhinging is wrist
13
00:00:38.710 --> 00:00:39.560
movement,
14
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:45.680
whether it's supination of the trail wrist or ulnar deviation of the lead wrist
15
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:46.200
, it'll
16
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.040
look more like this.
17
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:51.820
When I ask some golfers to do the unhinging, what they'll end up doing is they
18
00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:52.360
will end
19
00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:56.970
up straightening the arms, and oftentimes, when they straighten the arms, that
20
00:00:56.970 --> 00:00:57.480
pushes
21
00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:01.260
down on the grip, and when I push down on the grip, that's going to cause the
22
00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:01.640
club head
23
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:07.610
to actually go up or re-hinge, remember the leg that we want is not necessarily
24
00:01:07.610 --> 00:01:08.320
holding
25
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:13.160
this club up, that creates a steep and open problem for the brain to solve.
26
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:20.030
The leg we want is more pushing that club backward, so I can get the club shall
27
00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:20.600
owed
28
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:24.600
with the arm movements instead of having to shallow out with the body movements
29
00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:24.760
.
30
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.480
So back to the drill, the T-Rex unhinge.
31
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.030
T-Rex has their arms in close, so we're going to feel like we do an unhinge
32
00:01:32.030 --> 00:01:32.880
with these arms
33
00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:37.200
in a really narrow position instead of wide and straight.
34
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.280
So I'm going to bring it up, and I'm going to unhinge like this, keeping my
35
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.320
arms in close
36
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:50.030
and on my sides, and then I'm going to pivot through so that I can actually
37
00:01:50.030 --> 00:01:51.320
make contact
38
00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:52.680
with the golf ball.
39
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:59.430
So this is kind of a version of a 9 to 3, feeling more the dynamics of the un
40
00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:00.280
hinge, and
41
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.610
then getting that white movement more from my body rotation and keeping the
42
00:02:05.610 --> 00:02:06.520
hands ahead
43
00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:09.120
of the club head, even though it's unhinging.
44
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:15.850
So I'm going to bring it back, keep those arms in close, and just drop it down
45
00:02:15.850 --> 00:02:16.440
with the
46
00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:18.440
wrist kind of like this.
47
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:24.130
So then the next iteration or the next version would be exaggerating the arm
48
00:02:24.130 --> 00:02:25.480
extension timing
49
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:27.760
on the way through.
50
00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:31.480
So what often happens when you saw I was doing it in those first couple is the
51
00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:31.920
first few
52
00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:36.240
times you do this, your arms are just going to stay close because I'm focusing
53
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:36.720
on that
54
00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:40.200
t-rex position of keeping the arms close.
55
00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:46.300
But when I finish, the club is in line with that left arm kind of like this
56
00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:47.280
instead of
57
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.360
re-hinging.
58
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.490
All right, so now I want to start trying to add a little bit of the wipe
59
00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:54.520
pattern into
60
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.520
it.
61
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.250
This is a combo drill, so I'm going to get some of this unhinging, and then I'm
62
00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:00.720
going
63
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:04.560
to get my arms to extend on the way through.
64
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:11.380
So unhinged, and now I still let my body lead, and then my arms extend more
65
00:03:11.380 --> 00:03:13.040
through the ball
66
00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:15.680
at the target, less at the ball.
67
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.140
I feel like I'm driving that energy out towards the target, not down towards
68
00:03:21.140 --> 00:03:22.000
the mat.
69
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.580
The only thing bringing the club down towards the mat is that t-rex unhinging
70
00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:28.320
move.
71
00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:34.170
So if you struggle with getting steep or really low hands or feeling your chest
72
00:03:34.170 --> 00:03:35.000
closed too
73
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.510
much, kind of more of a this pattern here, then feeling this t-rex unhinging
74
00:03:40.510 --> 00:03:41.280
where the
75
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:47.210
hands stay close and high as the club drops down will help allow you to do the
76
00:03:47.210 --> 00:03:48.640
wipe weight,
77
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:52.400
which is one of the big movement combinations that really helps create a little
78
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:52.880
bit more
79
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:57.000
consistency in club face control, as well as building a little bit better flat
80
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:57.440
spot for
81
00:03:57.440 --> 00:03:58.500
for solid contact.

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:30.030
to do both, and it can lead to kind of some toxic or paralysis by analysis
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:31.240
situations,
11
00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:34.080
where you feel like you're doing conflicting movements.
12
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:38.710
So one of the keys in some of these unhinging drills is that unhinging is wrist
13
00:00:38.710 --> 00:00:39.560
movement,
14
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:45.680
whether it's supination of the trail wrist or ulnar deviation of the lead wrist
15
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:46.200
, it'll
16
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.040
look more like this.
17
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:51.820
When I ask some golfers to do the unhinging, what they'll end up doing is they
18
00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:52.360
will end
19
00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:56.970
up straightening the arms, and oftentimes, when they straighten the arms, that
20
00:00:56.970 --> 00:00:57.480
pushes
21
00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:01.260
down on the grip, and when I push down on the grip, that's going to cause the
22
00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:01.640
club head
23
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:07.610
to actually go up or re-hinge, remember the leg that we want is not necessarily
24
00:01:07.610 --> 00:01:08.320
holding
25
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:13.160
this club up, that creates a steep and open problem for the brain to solve.
26
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:20.030
The leg we want is more pushing that club backward, so I can get the club shall
27
00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:20.600
owed
28
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:24.600
with the arm movements instead of having to shallow out with the body movements
29
00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:24.760
.
30
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.480
So back to the drill, the T-Rex unhinge.
31
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.030
T-Rex has their arms in close, so we're going to feel like we do an unhinge
32
00:01:32.030 --> 00:01:32.880
with these arms
33
00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:37.200
in a really narrow position instead of wide and straight.
34
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.280
So I'm going to bring it up, and I'm going to unhinge like this, keeping my
35
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.320
arms in close
36
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:50.030
and on my sides, and then I'm going to pivot through so that I can actually
37
00:01:50.030 --> 00:01:51.320
make contact
38
00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:52.680
with the golf ball.
39
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:59.430
So this is kind of a version of a 9 to 3, feeling more the dynamics of the un
40
00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:00.280
hinge, and
41
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.610
then getting that white movement more from my body rotation and keeping the
42
00:02:05.610 --> 00:02:06.520
hands ahead
43
00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:09.120
of the club head, even though it's unhinging.
44
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:15.850
So I'm going to bring it back, keep those arms in close, and just drop it down
45
00:02:15.850 --> 00:02:16.440
with the
46
00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:18.440
wrist kind of like this.
47
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:24.130
So then the next iteration or the next version would be exaggerating the arm
48
00:02:24.130 --> 00:02:25.480
extension timing
49
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:27.760
on the way through.
50
00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:31.480
So what often happens when you saw I was doing it in those first couple is the
51
00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:31.920
first few
52
00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:36.240
times you do this, your arms are just going to stay close because I'm focusing
53
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:36.720
on that
54
00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:40.200
t-rex position of keeping the arms close.
55
00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:46.300
But when I finish, the club is in line with that left arm kind of like this
56
00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:47.280
instead of
57
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.360
re-hinging.
58
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.490
All right, so now I want to start trying to add a little bit of the wipe
59
00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:54.520
pattern into
60
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.520
it.
61
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.250
This is a combo drill, so I'm going to get some of this unhinging, and then I'm
62
00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:00.720
going
63
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:04.560
to get my arms to extend on the way through.
64
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:11.380
So unhinged, and now I still let my body lead, and then my arms extend more
65
00:03:11.380 --> 00:03:13.040
through the ball
66
00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:15.680
at the target, less at the ball.
67
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.140
I feel like I'm driving that energy out towards the target, not down towards
68
00:03:21.140 --> 00:03:22.000
the mat.
69
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.580
The only thing bringing the club down towards the mat is that t-rex unhinging
70
00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:28.320
move.
71
00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:34.170
So if you struggle with getting steep or really low hands or feeling your chest
72
00:03:34.170 --> 00:03:35.000
closed too
73
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.510
much, kind of more of a this pattern here, then feeling this t-rex unhinging
74
00:03:40.510 --> 00:03:41.280
where the
75
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:47.210
hands stay close and high as the club drops down will help allow you to do the
76
00:03:47.210 --> 00:03:48.640
wipe weight,
77
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:52.400
which is one of the big movement combinations that really helps create a little
78
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:52.880
bit more
79
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:57.000
consistency in club face control, as well as building a little bit better flat
80
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:57.440
spot for
81
00:03:57.440 --> 00:03:58.500
for solid contact.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.740
This drill is T-Rex Unhinging, so it's also been called Alligator Unhinging,
2
00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:07.040
but I kind
3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.440
of think the T-Rex is a little cooler, so we're going to call this T-Rex Unhing
4
00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:11.000
ing, and
5
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:17.680
it's learning to feel the movement of the wrist, so the wrist doing the unhing
6
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:18.640
ing while
7
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.690
the elbows are doing the wipe, because some golfers can get a little bogged
8
00:00:23.690 --> 00:00:24.600
down trying
9
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:30.030
to do both, and it can lead to kind of some toxic or paralysis by analysis
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:31.240
situations,
11
00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:34.080
where you feel like you're doing conflicting movements.
12

, it'll
16
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.040

21

down on the grip, and when I push down on the grip, that's going to cause the
