00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
The drill is connecting the hands to the shoulders for transition and the release.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,000
So, one of the tricky things with golf is I got these two swing in this club around

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
kind of this somewhat stable center.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
But I've got these two or three joints in between me and the clubhead.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
So they can do a lot of weird stuff, but often they're going to work together.

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
So I have this little demo that I show people if you're working on transition.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
This will help you feel how the motor cycle, the throwers catch, all these movements work

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
together and then how it relates to the release.

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
So if you hold your hand out in front of you just like this, and I want you to do your

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
best to try to really relax your shoulder, relax your elbow, and I'm not going to show you

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
the answer yet, but I want you to try to extend your wrist, which is basically going in

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
this motion kind of like so.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So you're going to do it pretty quickly.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
All right, so if you haven't given it try, stand up, hold it out like so, and then

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
give it a try.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So if I fully relax and I go like this, the question I'll always ask is what is your

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
elbow want to do?

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And basically if it was really relaxed, you'll find that that elbow wants to tend to go

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
in front of your body kind of like so.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Now I'll do the opposite, and I'll go like this.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And if my arm was fully relaxed, it'll get easier if I go this way.

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So then I'll have you try to do the opposite, that feels a little weird, or that feels

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
weird.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
So typically when it goes like this, when my wrist goes into extension the elbow will

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
work in front, when the wrist goes into flexion, the elbow will go more out like so.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
So now in the transition, we talk about that left wrist flexing in that motorcycle movement,

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
so that encourages some of this, and that right wrist doing that throwers catch, encourages

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
the elbow working in front of you.

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So combined, it ends up looking something like that.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Then when we get down during the release, the sooner that I really flexed this wrist

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
like so, the more that this elbow is going to tend to drift out this way.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So what most torporers do is in order to have that impact contact kind of more in front

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
of their chest, instead of way back behind them, that elbow will continue leading that wrist,

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
because the more that the elbow goes across like this, the more it delays that wrist,

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
and they'll ultimately get thrown out by that bracing in that push move of the body.

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
So if you're struggling on what your wrist are doing, check the elbows, if you're struggling

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
or the shoulders because they're tied to the other, if you're struggling on the look

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
of more what the shoulders need to be doing, then perhaps you can check the wrist and

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
see if you're not getting some interference from one of those two segments.
