00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.560
this drill is turned through your left arm so if I've assigned this drill to

2
00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:09.240
you it means that you probably have a little bit more of an arm pull and maybe

3
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.320
not straight away from the top of the swing but usually earlier in the down

4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.760
swing well many golfers will start getting a look where the arm is pulling

5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:24.320
away from the chest or from the body early in the downswing kind of like this

6
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:29.320
and the same muscles that pull your arm down or across your body in this

7
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:34.720
direction also will cause your shoulders to want to rotate in the opposite

8
00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:39.680
direction because that brings their attachments closer together so if I pull

9
00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:45.320
this arm down it usually stops my body and while it can create a big look of

10
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:50.000
lag in my wrist I've lost all the lag in my shoulders you see you can build the

11
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:57.440
lag in the lower body by the lower body rotating before the pelvis or you can

12
00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:00.880
build it in your core if your pelvis rotates a little bit before the ribcage

13
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.360
or you can build it in the shoulder if your ribcage and chest rotate before

14
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:13.280
your arm pulls now you don't want it to be so slack or or so sloppy that when

15
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.680
you turn through it there's no tension but if I'm leading it from that lower

16
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.400
body you'll see that there's some tension build up through that left side of my

17
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:27.000
body well one thing that I'll do for golfers you tend to have a lot of

18
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.900
tension and kind of pull with those arms is I'll have them hold their arm out

19
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:31.040
in

20
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.680
front of me and then I will provide a little bit of resistance so you could

21
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:39.720
put this up against the golf cart or a corner of a wall at home and then what

22
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:43.840
you'll do is with that resistance you'll turn your body towards the target

23
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:44.240
until

24
00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:48.240
you feel a stretch in the shoulder then what we'll do is without a club you're

25
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:53.040
gonna bring the club or bring your arm back to about parallel to the ground and

26
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.880
then you're going to duplicate that same stretch so I'm gonna try and get that

27
00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:00.640
stretch and I'm gonna try to keep that stretch all the way until it's pointing

28
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.120
at the golf ball and then I'll let it release that stretch out towards the

29
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:10.760
target just like that so so here we go bring it back and then turn through the

30
00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:15.360
arm turn through the arm and when I turn through the arm that brings the arm

31
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.560
down in place so this concept can be used with the single arm left arm drill or

32
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.280
nine to three ten to twos working on some of that left shoulder connection so

33
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:30.000
in the single arm drill I'm gonna bring it back and then I'm gonna feel like my

34
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.680
body pulls through that left arm all the way until it gets down towards impact

35
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:44.720
other option I could do this in more of a three-quarter swing or nine to three

36
00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:48.360
so I could bring it back here and then I'm gonna feel like my body turns

37
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:48.980
through

38
00:02:48.980 --> 00:02:54.080
the arm and I'm gonna keep that connection all the way until I get to

39
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.840
impact and then I'm gonna let it go so if you have a tendency to pull more with

40
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.040
your arms or your arms get disconnected from your body and so

41
00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:07.440
therefore from the down the line camera your body is facing more the golf ball

42
00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:13.240
instead of having your chest pointing out in front of the golf ball one idea

43
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:17.400
that can really help is feeling like you turn through the left arm and that

44
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.600
left arm just stays pinned across your chest similar to the leave your arms

45
00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:30.570
behind you idea okay so in demonstration I'm going to bring it back and then I

46
00:03:30.570 --> 00:03:30.680
'm

47
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.840
just gonna leave that left arm until I feel a little bit of a stretch and then

48
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.800
come down I can either do this as kind of a pump drill get the stretch keep the

49
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:47.560
stretch all the way through or I could do this as more of a kind of a sequence

50
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:55.880
trick 9 to 3 focus so whichever way helps you build that awareness of that

51
00:03:55.880 --> 00:04:00.000
left shoulder will ultimately help improve your low point contact getting

52
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.400
further in front of the ball from having a better sternum or chest location

53
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.440
compared to your arms
