00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720
This drill is two checks for ulnar deviation.
2
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.440
So ulnar deviation is the unhinging of the wrists, kind of like this.
3
00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:15.810
And many golfers benefit from training active ulnar deviation and then learning
4
00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:16.520
how to put
5
00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:19.400
it into the swing a little bit more passively.
6
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:24.750
But a couple common swing problems result from trying to keep this radial
7
00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:25.600
deviation
8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.200
or keeping the hinge too long in the swing.
9
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:34.870
But I see on 3D and you can see it on video, is that somewhere around here is
10
00:00:34.870 --> 00:00:35.600
when you'll
11
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:41.070
start to see golfers really unhinging in order to get the club come from a
12
00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:42.320
shallow inside
13
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.770
path as well as to get the club low to the ground, which complements more the
14
00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:50.080
body rotation
15
00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:52.320
on the way through.
16
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.920
So when I'm looking at video, there's usually two checkpoints that I'm looking
17
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:56.560
for to see
18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:01.080
if we need to add a little bit more ulnar deviation.
19
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:05.600
One is from the face on camera and one is from the down the line camera.
20
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:10.300
From the down the line camera, we're going to look at the club when it's about
21
00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:10.560
shaft
22
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.920
parallel and then just a few frames after it.
23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.180
So basically from here through there, you'll see if I keep my hinge or my
24
00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:21.840
radial deviation
25
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.680
that the club is going to get pretty high during that little phase there.
26
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.540
So then I would have to really excessively side bend in order to try to get the
27
00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:32.960
club
28
00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:33.960
down low.
29
00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:38.030
But even when I do that, oftentimes if I keep that hinge, you'll see that it
30
00:01:38.030 --> 00:01:38.720
looks like
31
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.200
the club is coming into the ball from a steeper path or you'll see that there's
32
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:45.440
a pretty pronounced
33
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:49.560
angle between the club shaft and my arms.
34
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.680
As opposed to if I ulnar deviate at the proper time.
35
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.440
So now it's down there.
36
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:59.500
When I come in, it'll be closer to in line with my forearms and the club will
37
00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:00.200
typically
38
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.880
be sitting a little bit flatter.
39
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:07.930
One hallmark, one trait that you'll see is if you do more of this style of
40
00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:08.680
release,
41
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.140
you will tend to complain about poles and you will tend to complain about diggy
42
00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:13.840
contact.
43
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.120
So your bad misses will be really severe chunks, not just a little fat.
44
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.220
That can also be a sign that you might potentially need to do a little bit of
45
00:02:22.220 --> 00:02:23.000
ulnar deviation
46
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.480
training or unhinged training.
47
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:30.120
The second piece from the face on camera is looking more at the follow through.
48
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.340
So a great time to see if there was full unhinged is looking at this follow
49
00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:37.120
through position.
50
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.410
Now with the iron, it may happen just before parallel and with the driver, it
51
00:02:42.410 --> 00:02:43.240
may happen
52
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.680
even later and later.
53
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.730
Some guys like Jason Day don't start rehinging, they keep that unhinged until
54
00:02:49.730 --> 00:02:50.400
the club is
55
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.240
almost vertical.
56
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:57.010
But oftentimes if a golfer is steep from that down the line or they didn't un
57
00:02:57.010 --> 00:02:57.880
hinged early
58
00:02:57.880 --> 00:03:01.860
enough, then on the way through you'll tend to have a narrow distance here and
59
00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:02.360
you'll
60
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.240
tend to have a pretty pronounced angle.
61
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.530
Or if you look at the wrist, you'll be able to see a little bit angle here
62
00:03:09.530 --> 00:03:10.200
instead of
63
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:15.240
having more of an angle down compared to my forearm.
64
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.580
So if you are struggling with getting a little bit more shallowness into your
65
00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:21.520
downswing or
66
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.650
width into your follow through, it's very likely that you need to do a little
67
00:03:25.650 --> 00:03:26.020
bit of
68
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:27.360
unhinged training.
69
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.880
Two key checkpoints are again from this down the line right about there, making
70
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:31.400
sure that
71
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.860
you can see the club getting into more of a shallower path and then into the
72
00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:36.520
finished
73
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.120
position, checking it wide there.
74
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.040
So you can do this as pump style or 9 to 3 style drills.
75
00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:49.980
And basically what you'll see is if you look at those two checkpoints, if you
76
00:03:49.980 --> 00:03:50.960
get the unhinged
77
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.110
at the right time, you'll tend to have really shallow ground contact which
78
00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:54.680
tends to give
79
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.480
you a much bigger margin of air.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720
This drill is two checks for ulnar deviation.

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.440

00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:25.600
deviation

it into the swing a little bit more passively.

00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:50.080
body rotation
15
00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:52.320
on the way through.
16
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.920
So when I'm looking at video, there's usually two checkpoints that I'm looking
17
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:56.560
for to see
18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:01.080
if we need to add a little bit more ulnar deviation.
19
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:05.600
One is from the face on camera and one is from the down the line camera.
20
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:10.300
From the down the line camera, we're going to look at the club when it's about
21
00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:10.560
shaft
22
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.920
parallel and then just a few frames after it.
23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.180
So basically from here through there, you'll see if I keep my hinge or my
24
00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:21.840
radial deviation
25
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.680
that the club is going to get pretty high during that little phase there.
26
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.540
So then I would have to really excessively side bend in order to try to get the
27
00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:32.960
club
28
00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:33.960
down low.
29
00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:38.030
But even when I do that, oftentimes if I keep that hinge, you'll see that it
30
00:01:38.030 --> 00:01:38.720
looks like
31
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.200
the club is coming into the ball from a steeper path or you'll see that there's
32
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:45.440
a pretty pronounced
33
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:49.560
angle between the club shaft and my arms.
34
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.680
As opposed to if I ulnar deviate at the proper time.
35
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.440
So now it's down there.
36
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:59.500
When I come in, it'll be closer to in line with my forearms and the club will
37
00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:00.200
typically
38
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.880
be sitting a little bit flatter.
39
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:07.930
One hallmark, one trait that you'll see is if you do more of this style of
40
00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:08.680
release,
41
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.140
you will tend to complain about poles and you will tend to complain about diggy
42
00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:13.840
contact.
43
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.120
So your bad misses will be really severe chunks, not just a little fat.
44
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.220
That can also be a sign that you might potentially need to do a little bit of
45
00:02:22.220 --> 00:02:23.000
ulnar deviation
46
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.480
training or unhinged training.
47
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:30.120
The second piece from the face on camera is looking more at the follow through.
48
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.340
So a great time to see if there was full unhinged is looking at this follow
49
00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:37.120
through position.
50
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.410
Now with the iron, it may happen just before parallel and with the driver, it
51
00:02:42.410 --> 00:02:43.240
may happen
52
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.680
even later and later.
53
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.730
Some guys like Jason Day don't start rehinging, they keep that unhinged until
54
00:02:49.730 --> 00:02:50.400
the club is
55
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.240
almost vertical.
56
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:57.010
But oftentimes if a golfer is steep from that down the line or they didn't un
57
00:02:57.010 --> 00:02:57.880
hinged early
58
00:02:57.880 --> 00:03:01.860
enough, then on the way through you'll tend to have a narrow distance here and
59
00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:02.360
you'll
60
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.240
tend to have a pretty pronounced angle.
61
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.530
Or if you look at the wrist, you'll be able to see a little bit angle here
62
00:03:09.530 --> 00:03:10.200
instead of
63
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:15.240
having more of an angle down compared to my forearm.
64
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.580
So if you are struggling with getting a little bit more shallowness into your
65
00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:21.520
downswing or
66
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.650
width into your follow through, it's very likely that you need to do a little
67
00:03:25.650 --> 00:03:26.020
bit of
68
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:27.360
unhinged training.
69
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.880
Two key checkpoints are again from this down the line right about there, making
70
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:31.400
sure that
71
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.860
you can see the club getting into more of a shallower path and then into the
72
00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:36.520
finished
73
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.120
position, checking it wide there.
74
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.040
So you can do this as pump style or 9 to 3 style drills.
75
00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:49.980
And basically what you'll see is if you look at those two checkpoints, if you
76
00:03:49.980 --> 00:03:50.960
get the unhinged
77
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.110
at the right time, you'll tend to have really shallow ground contact which
78
00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:54.680
tends to give
79
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.480
you a much bigger margin of air.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720
This drill is two checks for ulnar deviation.
2
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.440
So ulnar deviation is the unhinging of the wrists, kind of like this.
3
00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:15.810
And many golfers benefit from training active ulnar deviation and then learning
4
00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:16.520
how to put
5
00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:19.400
it into the swing a little bit more passively.
6
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:24.750
But a couple common swing problems result from trying to keep this radial
7
00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:25.600
deviation
8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.200
or keeping the hinge too long in the swing.
9
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:34.870
But I see on 3D and you can see it on video, is that somewhere around here is
10
00:00:34.870 --> 00:00:35.600
when you'll
11
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:41.070
start to see golfers really unhinging in order to get the club come from a
12
00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:42.320
shallow inside
13
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.770
path as well as to get the club low to the ground, which complements more the
14
00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:50.080
body rotation
15
00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:52.320
on the way through.
16
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.920
So when I'm looking at video, there's usually two checkpoints that I'm looking
17
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:56.560
for to see
18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:01.080
if we need to add a little bit more ulnar deviation.
19
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:05.600
One is from the face on camera and one is from the down the line camera.
20
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:10.300
From the down the line camera, we're going to look at the club when it's about
21
00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:10.560

parallel and then just a few frames after it.
23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.180

00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:21.840

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.680

down low.
29
00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:38.030
But even when I do that, oftentimes if I keep that hinge, you'll see that it
30
00:01:38.030 --> 00:01:38.720
