00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
This is connecting the trailarm only in the sidearm throw.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So a common pattern is that golfers will tend to stand up and really straighten that trailarm.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
And there's a number of different things in play here.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000
I could be struggling with my body creating too much power through early extension or

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
kind of thrusting in towards the golf ball.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Or I could feel like my right arm is really straightening early to apply force or to help

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
get the club all the way down the ground.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
So there's a number of different factors in play.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,000
I find that the sidearm throw is a great way of feeling the engine and feeling like you're

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
not standing up on the way through.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
But then to add a little bit of control element, we're going to do some single arm

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
only shots.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
So the sidearm throw is basically where you put the driver even with your left foot and then

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
you get into your golf posture and you do a little sidearm throw underneath the shaft and

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
you'll feel like your body is kind of bent over almost like you're looking underneath

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
your arm.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Well now what we're going to do is we're going to try and make contact with a single

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
arm drill, a single arm hit with the golf club.

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
I've got about a 7 or 8 iron that's a good place to start with this and then I'm going

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
to use the same setup.

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
So I've got the driver basically even with my left foot and now I'm going to bring the

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
club back and I'm just going to rotate through keeping my arm in front.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:37,000
And you'll see that when I make contact with the shot, it's much more of a body hit where

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
it just feels like my arm is kind of being brought along but on a different plane than

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
I might be used to.

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
I might be used to turning my shoulders very level in which case I have to throw this

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
down in order to get there.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
This is going to feel like my arm and my body pivot are working more along the same angle.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Now one thing you want to be careful about is check your follow-through position to make

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
sure that the club is still out in front of your body.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
What can happen is some golfers when you've got this in your way, you'll tend to just

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
kind of throw the arm.

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
So now my body is facing the golf ball and you can see that I threw the arm across and

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
the club finished way past my body over here.

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:26,000
So I want to avoid that and make sure that I get into a good body position.

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
So after I did one where I threw my arm, I threw my arm a little bit and caught that

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
thin.

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
So now we'll try to feel like we keep it a little bit more connected.

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
That was probably the best one of that session.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
So since that was the best one, I'm going to take that club out of the way and now I'm

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
going to look back at the ball and I'm going to spend maybe 15-20 seconds just kind of

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
dialing in that position.

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
So that right there is where I want to try to get to with my 9-3s and ultimately go through

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
that position with my 3-4-10-2s and my full swing.

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
So this is a great way for you to kind of combine a few of these feels of not early

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000
extending and hitting it more with the body on the way through into one playable feel.

00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
That playable feel may be something that you can really use to transfer your range swing

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
and take it onto the course.
