Why Your Wipe Needs a Rotational Movement

After this video, you'll be able to:

  • Understand how to keep your arms in front of your body during the wipe.
  • Learn the impact of a rotational wipe on your club face angle and swing arc.
  • Identify the common mistakes that lead to inconsistent shots and how to correct them.

In this video, you'll discover how the wipe in your swing should be a rotational movement rather than a linear one. Understanding this concept will help you improve your arm positioning and overall swing dynamics.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.880
This concept video is the wipe is rotational, not linear. So I have a number of

2
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:06.640
videos working on

3
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:11.360
the wipe or getting the arms back out in front of the body because many players

4
00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:12.400
get stuck with the

5
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.710
arms behind the body either at the top of the swing or the elbow. The trail

6
00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:17.680
elbow gets more

7
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:22.840
behind or down as they enter the release. The trail elbow gets more behind and

8
00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:23.680
it turns into

9
00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.610
more of a roll style release that typically causes low point to move back. The

10
00:00:28.610 --> 00:00:29.360
club face to get

11
00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:34.250
closed and the arc width to narrow. Those are all things that will lead to

12
00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:35.040
inconsistency,

13
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.880
poles, slices, a whole shambles of contact and kind of frustrating problems. So

14
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:42.640
the wipe is one of

15
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.210
those key movements of getting those arms back out in front of your body. Now

16
00:00:47.210 --> 00:00:48.080
one of the important

17
00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:53.670
things to recognize is that the wipe movement is rotational or it's around your

18
00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:54.960
body. It's not

19
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.120
linear like it's not going just straight across the body towards the target. If

20
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:01.680
I'm doing just the

21
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:05.700
arms compared to the body it may feel like it's a little bit more linear at

22
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.040
first because you're

23
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.980
moving the club from the side of the body to in front. But if it follows along

24
00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:13.600
the arc it actually

25
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:20.240
goes around more like this rather than straight towards the target. There is

26
00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:21.760
from the top of the

27
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.290
swing that little movement where it gets in front but then it continues with

28
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:27.600
the body rotation on

29
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:32.300
the way through. And what will happen is the the wipe or the elbow kind of

30
00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:33.440
leads the hand in the

31
00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:41.570
club for a longer period of time this way, not that way. So the way that that

32
00:01:41.570 --> 00:01:44.560
ends up looking is

33
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.450
whether you're doing a supported wipe or 9 to 3 with wipe just any of the wipe

34
00:01:49.450 --> 00:01:50.480
drills. The elbow

35
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:56.030
will continue to lead and the hands in the club head for a longer period of

36
00:01:56.030 --> 00:01:57.120
time and that will

37
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.670
look like the arm gets more out in front of the body. So you'll know if you're

38
00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:04.400
doing it more across

39
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.660
your body will tend to stall so it might have more of a kind of look like that

40
00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:10.160
down through impact

41
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:15.320
where if you're doing it more rotationally where the arm is working across and

42
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:16.720
coupled with the

43
00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:27.440
body rotation you will tend to see the pivot continue on the way through.
