00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The Stirl is connecting your arm movements to body movements.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,000
So in the transition section in the Downswing section or the Release section, even in the

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Backswing section, I have drills that help you understand how the arm moves move.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Now one of the steps that you'll want to make before you'll really own the movement

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
and be able to function kind of automatically is taking that step of connecting the arm

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
movements to the body movements.

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000
What I mean by that is you want the arm movements to happen somewhat passively or

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
reflexively.

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
If you're overly thinking about what's a shallowing the club or older deviating and

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
you're doing it with a lot of effort or you're thinking a lot about supination, when you

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,000
have that overly active arm movement, it will tend to slow down or disconnect your rib

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
movement.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
It'll tend to stabilize the shoulder, it'll stabilize the rib cage.

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
So it'll disrupt some of your sequencing.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
That disrupted sequencing will tend to make it a little less repeatable on the golf

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
course.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
So when you're working on these movements, you want to connect them to the body motions.

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
A few examples, right?

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Let's say we're working on the Downswing.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
We're working on getting the club to shallowing.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
I've got a number of videos on how to kind of feel the arm shallowing, but then to

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
take it that next step further, you should try to feel the arm shallowing because the

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
body is initiating the Downswing, not because the arms are just shallowing.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Or if you're working on the motorcycle movement, you're trying to get more face rotation.

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
It should rotate because the arms are lagging behind and somewhat relaxed as your body

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
is rotating.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
If you're working on getting a little bit more of that unhingy, you have a little bit

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
too much of that role in your release.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
You're getting some unhingy to help get width.

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,000
That should happen because of the body bracing, not just because the arms are actively

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
unhingching.

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
So the first step is you have to disrupt the pattern, so you have to learn how to do the

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
arm movements almost actively.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Then to really take it to that comfort level, you're going to try to connect it to

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
the body.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
I'll do a couple of examples here.

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Let's say I'm working on the arm shallowing.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
I might do some active arm shallowing movement, and I might do an active, I'm going to

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
overrelease it for the purpose of the video, arm shallowing movement.

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
I might do a swing where I really focus on that arm shallowing movement.

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
I knew that I was going to hit it poorly because it was different.

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
I knew that I was going to hit it poorly because I wasn't really using my body, but it

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
was different.

00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Now I'm going to try and shallow, and I'm going to try and connect that to the body movement.

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
I'm still going to stick on an easy tempo.

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I'm not really trying to swing too hard, but I could feel that the arm shallowing because

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
they were lagging behind the body, not just because I was trying to shallow.

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Then I can gradually increase speed, or I can jump to faster speed and work back and forth.

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
But it's a good little way to progress.

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
The movements that you're training into mechanics that will hopefully hold up better

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
on the course.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
To do that, you really got to connect it to the body movement.
