00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
You notice on this site that I don't have a ton of training aids, I'm not really a big fan of most training aids,

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
but there are some that I like and some that I build myself that I kind of show you how to do.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:24,000
So this is one that Johnston Clare created, that's very smart, it's just taking a golf ball and taping it about where the center of mass of the club would be.

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000
So if I just kind of balanced it there, it's basically if I took the club and I balanced it like this,

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
and I found where that balance point was, and then I took a golf ball and I just taped it right there.

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
That's pretty much what we're doing, so it should be inline with the club,

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
taped at a bout where the balance point is.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
So what that does is that, as I hold it, it just feels like a heavy club,

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
but it swings somewhat naturally.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
So what I can do is I can kind of feel the different relationships,

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
so I can feel what happens if I rotate.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So if I'm working on the motorcycle, I can get used to that feeling of the club in a little bit more closed position,

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
and you can actually make contacts swinging with it,

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:21,000
but it feels a little weird and depending on how securely you did the tape, the ball, the center of mass may move.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
But the one that I really like it for is feeling that arm shallowing or that water bottle transition feeling,

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
because it'll exaggerate the feeling of it dropping, and as it, because it's exaggerating that feeling of it dropping,

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
it'll encourage me to then feel like I'm going to get on top of it.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
So I can practice that good arm shallowing movement,

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and but before I reach parallel or a shaft parallel, so before I get really into the release,

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
I'm making sure that I'm starting that club working out away from me,

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
or basically instead of feeling it dropping this way, feeling like I'm starting to go here.

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So basically this is a great way to exaggerate that feeling of the Zoro loops,

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
so I'll feel the drop a little bit more, so I can start applying that kind of tumble force,

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
or some of the supination of the release a little bit earlier.

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:19,000
So the three drills that I really like this exaggerated center mass for would be Zoro loops are kind of feeling,

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:29,000
when feeling going from arm shallowing to arm steepening, or kind of somewhere in this phase right around here.

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
I really like exaggerating and kind of feeling the weight of the club there,

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:43,000
and I really like this for the single arm releases, because what you'll tend to feel is if you scoop it with this,

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
as opposed to kind of hitting that good release, the weight of the club,

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
you'll really feel it come in or go out, so you'll feel whether this arm is kind of pulling the mass

00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
towards me or allowing it to go out and using my body to kind of pull the mass in towards me.

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
So if I'm doing it too much with my arm or if I'm doing it with my body, this little exaggerated weight tends to help me feel that.

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:15,000
With the weight arm, it is very hard, this thing gets really heavy trying to disconnect here,

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:25,000
so feeling me just swing the center of mass is a lot easier with this kind of heavy weighted club,

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
as opposed to when I do it with the standard club.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
So the three times I like this are for training each arm during the release,

00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
or feeling that timing of going from the zoraloups,

00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,000
going from the shallow move to the bracing move, or the steepening moves during the release.

00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
If you're struggling with kind of getting a feel for those, make one of these clubs, take a golf ball, just tap it,

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000
where the center of mass would be for that particular golf club.

00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Obviously, I'd recommend taking a specific old club so that you can always keep it in your,

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
you know, whether you've got a little practice spot in your garage,

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
or you can keep this in your bag as a training club.

00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It's a great way to exaggerate some of the feels during some of these key drills.
