this video is visualizing arm extension timing and direction so visualization I
2
00:00:06.920 --> 00:00:10.840
like to you know put stuff on the ground or in space to help you your brain
3
00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:11.120
kind
4
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:15.440
of imagine and conceptualize what we're trying to do one of the areas that I
5
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:15.640
see
6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:21.440
golfers kind of struggle with is where and when to extend the arms so if we go
7
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.440
through kind of the delivery position series your your arms will be kind of
8
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.880
in this loaded position and then you're going to extend them out in front of
9
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:28.960
you
10
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:36.880
kind of like that now in the full swing so with a iron or the later the club
11
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:37.120
the
12
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:41.950
more after the golf ball it's going to be in the full swing I'm going to tend
13
00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:42.200
to
14
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.360
have a feeling of almost I'm extending more in the direction of that purple
15
00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:52.270
stick so I'm not extending straight out in front of my body or rather when I'm
16
00:00:52.270 --> 00:00:52.520
my
17
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.440
arms extend straight out my body my body is facing that way but when it comes
18
00:00:56.440 --> 00:00:56.560
to
19
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:02.240
a chip shot pitch shot that will tend to create too much shaft lean if I extend
20
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.800
them out there on a chip shot pitch shot I'm going to tend to extend the arms
21
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:07.200
more
22
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.390
out in front of my body on this red stick back here and then have everything
23
00:01:13.390 --> 00:01:13.480
come
24
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:20.680
through together on the way through so we'll try to demonstrate a couple of
25
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.920
these with the right arm only style so if I get into that good position you
26
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:27.080
could
27
00:01:27.080 --> 00:01:32.200
see the timing of my arm straightening was more in the direction of that purple
28
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:38.640
stick if I switch to more of a chip shot or wedge style then you'll see it's
29
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.280
going to extend before the ball or more along the direction of that right stick
30
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.240
so many golfers especially those who struggle with the longer clubs kind of
31
00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:54.720
battle the timing of trying to throw and extend the arms there in order to get
32
00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:58.960
the club down to the golf ball or in order to square the face but if you're
33
00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:02.400
working on getting a little bit better sequencing a little bit better
34
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:03.040
motorcycle
35
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.800
for the longer club you'll also have to incorporate a timing where the arms are
36
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:11.920
extending later more in the direction of the purple stick so it can it can be
37
00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:15.680
helpful to have both clubs handy you'll put them down instead of resting them
38
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:16.360
on
39
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.680
you but with the full swing if I'm trying to have more of a leading edge
40
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.400
contact
41
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:29.200
which I'm going to do with every full swing if I want to have that leading edge
42
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.080
contact I need to have my body turned rotated facing open so that then when my
43
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:40.490
arms extend that was influenced from the club so that when my arms extend they
44
00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:40.640
do
45
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:49.360
so after the golf ball however with the chip shot or pitch shot if I really get
46
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.880
my body open you can see that the club is too high coming into the golf ball
47
00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:58.120
and there's no way I'm gonna get a bounce to make contact with the ground
48
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:05.200
instead I need to have a feeling of those arms much earlier almost like
49
00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:09.080
they're starting straight away and extending so that I feel like it's
50
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.960
getting kind of straight through there and then everything coming through
51
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:16.520
together so there are very different timings between the wedge shots and the
52
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.600
full swing and this visual sometimes can help you tie in the differences of
53
00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:20.960
when
54
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.360

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:15.440
of imagine and conceptualize what we're trying to do one of the areas that I
5
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:15.640
see
6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:21.440
golfers kind of struggle with is where and when to extend the arms so if we go
7
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.440
through kind of the delivery position series your your arms will be kind of
8
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.880
in this loaded position and then you're going to extend them out in front of
9
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:28.960
you
10
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:36.880
kind of like that now in the full swing so with a iron or the later the club
11
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:37.120
the
12
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:41.950
more after the golf ball it's going to be in the full swing I'm going to tend
13
00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:42.200
to
14
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.360
have a feeling of almost I'm extending more in the direction of that purple
15
00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:52.270
stick so I'm not extending straight out in front of my body or rather when I'm
16
00:00:52.270 --> 00:00:52.520
my
17
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.440
arms extend straight out my body my body is facing that way but when it comes
18
00:00:56.440 --> 00:00:56.560
to
19
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:02.240
a chip shot pitch shot that will tend to create too much shaft lean if I extend
20
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.800
them out there on a chip shot pitch shot I'm going to tend to extend the arms
21
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:07.200
more
22
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.390
out in front of my body on this red stick back here and then have everything
23
00:01:13.390 --> 00:01:13.480
come
24
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:20.680
through together on the way through so we'll try to demonstrate a couple of
25
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.920
these with the right arm only style so if I get into that good position you
26
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:27.080
could
27
00:01:27.080 --> 00:01:32.200
see the timing of my arm straightening was more in the direction of that purple
28
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:38.640
stick if I switch to more of a chip shot or wedge style then you'll see it's
29
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.280
going to extend before the ball or more along the direction of that right stick
30
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.240
so many golfers especially those who struggle with the longer clubs kind of
31
00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:54.720
battle the timing of trying to throw and extend the arms there in order to get
32
00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:58.960
the club down to the golf ball or in order to square the face but if you're
33
00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:02.400
working on getting a little bit better sequencing a little bit better
34
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:03.040
motorcycle
35
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.800
for the longer club you'll also have to incorporate a timing where the arms are
36
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:11.920
extending later more in the direction of the purple stick so it can it can be
37
00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:15.680
helpful to have both clubs handy you'll put them down instead of resting them
38
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:16.360
on
39
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.680
you but with the full swing if I'm trying to have more of a leading edge
40
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.400
contact
41
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:29.200
which I'm going to do with every full swing if I want to have that leading edge
42
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.080
contact I need to have my body turned rotated facing open so that then when my
43
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:40.490
arms extend that was influenced from the club so that when my arms extend they
44
00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:40.640
do
45
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:49.360
so after the golf ball however with the chip shot or pitch shot if I really get
46
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.880
my body open you can see that the club is too high coming into the golf ball
47
00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:58.120
and there's no way I'm gonna get a bounce to make contact with the ground
48
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:05.200
instead I need to have a feeling of those arms much earlier almost like
49
00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:09.080
they're starting straight away and extending so that I feel like it's
50
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.960
getting kind of straight through there and then everything coming through
51
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:16.520
together so there are very different timings between the wedge shots and the
52
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.600
full swing and this visual sometimes can help you tie in the differences of
53
00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:20.960
when
54
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.360
those timings should relate
