00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.310
This content video is the overview of the release. Now the release is

2
00:00:04.310 --> 00:00:04.880
essentially

3
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:08.040
the second half of the downswing and it's basically going from the end of

4
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.680
transition which is delivery position right about here all the way until

5
00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:16.640
follow-through. So from right about here to right about there is really one

6
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:22.080
movement. Now it builds off of this transition movement so make sure you've

7
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:25.800
watched that section but essentially what I'm going to do is I'm going to take

8
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.880
this speed that I've created during transition and I'm going to try and

9
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:33.640
release it or transfer it all into the golf ball. Now there's a few things that

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:38.040
are going to happen with my body in order to do so. The first piece is I'm

11
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:43.320
going to have my legs straightening and my my belt kind of raising up kind of

12
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.560
like so. So I'm I'm using the ground and I'm using my legs to help trigger this

13
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:53.480
release or this unloading of all this speed that I've created. The second thing

14
00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:58.360
is I'm going to have my body to continue rotating or my thorax, my chest,

15
00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:02.920
to continue rotating through the shot. One of the interesting pieces is if you

16
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.000
look at the kinematic sequence of most good ball strikers what you will see is

17
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:13.320
that during this release phase their chest is going to be rotating faster than

18
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:17.790
every other part of their body so while their lower body is stabilizing and

19
00:01:17.790 --> 00:01:17.920
their

20
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.840
arms are stabilizing their chest continues to rotate through the shot at

21
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:28.120
the fastest rate except for what's going on at the club. So the third piece is

22
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:35.160
going to be the arms extending. So from right about here until I get to the end

23
00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:39.560
of the follow-through these arms are going to be working away from my body

24
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:44.920
and extending as we talk about in this release section. So the arms are going

25
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:45.120
to

26
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.240
be working away from my body and they're rotating more from the fact that I'm

27
00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:54.040
working away from my body than I'm just consciously rotating to try and square

28
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:58.750
the face. So let's get into a little bit of these details of how these three

29
00:01:58.750 --> 00:01:59.280
key

30
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.800
movements fit together. So when I get to this delivery position I'm loaded in

31
00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:04.960
my

32
00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:09.080
legs my chest is kind of compressed against the ground and then what I'm

33
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.320
going to do is I'm going to use those legs to push like so and when I push

34
00:02:13.320 --> 00:02:18.960
through this primarily lead leg and lead hip that's going to cause my body to

35
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:25.640
rotate. So that's going to cause my body to rotate and then similar to the

36
00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:26.080
timing

37
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.040
of throwing a baseball that rotation of my upper body is going to help propel

38
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:31.240
my

39
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.600
arms through the shot. Now I talk about the arms working away from your body

40
00:02:35.600 --> 00:02:36.200
but

41
00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:41.040
what you'll see from a down-the-line camera view is during this release from

42
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:45.440
right about here until that follow-through my hands are going to be moving

43
00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:49.920
slightly in because they are following because they're tethered to the rotation

44
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:53.680
of my upper body. And I guess I should say when I talk about this rotation of

45
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.600
the upper body it's not just a rotation it's a combination of a rotation and a

46
00:02:58.600 --> 00:03:03.760
side bend. So what'll happen is there's my delivery position I'm going to

47
00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:04.360
rotate

48
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.760
and continue side bending through the shot as my arms extend. So for details on

49
00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:14.600
how to use your legs how to continue rotating your trunk or what your arms

50
00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:18.160
need to do in order to allow them to continue to extend through the shot

51
00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:22.640
