00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This video is the continuous motor cycle.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So the motor cycle is starting the club face rotating.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
But I often refer to the motor cycle as looking at shaft rotation.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
So there are two major ways that golfers square the club face in the golf swing.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
One is having the club pass my hands.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
So you can see if I'm right here, club is pointing out towards the camera.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
If I keep my grip here, let the club pass.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Now it's pointed at the wall.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
And then if I keep my grip there, let it pass.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Now it's pointed directly behind me.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
So compared to the target by letting the club pass,

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
I changed the face location, but I also totally changed the path.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
You can see that in order to move the club face,

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
I had to move the entire club.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
The other option is club face rotation.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
So right now that is pointing at the wall.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
And now that's pointing at that wall.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
So I was able to change the club face rotation or alignment.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
90 degrees without changing the shaft.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Obviously I don't need to change it 90 degrees or 180 or 360.

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
In the golf swing, I only need to change it 3040 degrees.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:22,000
But many golfers who struggle with either having more of a forward lunge or trail arm straightening or kind of picking the ball,

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
not getting a whole lot of compression,

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
potentially the longer clubs, not being able to stay back.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Frequently, these golfers struggle with having the motorcycle movement or the shaft rotation.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Because that is just changing the face to path relationship without changing the path.

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000
So many golfers, many tour golfers, start that pattern with the lead wrist and the trail wrist,

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
kind of rotating the shaft up here.

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
And then they continue and the pattern is the club face just kind of rotates like this,

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
the entire downswing.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
What many amateurs do and what tour pros do with a lot of their wedge shots.

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So they don't rotate the club and then they use more that club face passing to square the club face.

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So if you're struggling with the motorcycle, sometimes it's important to see how it continues.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Because I focus on it in a, I use the word motorcycle and I focus on it in transition of having that club start rotating early.

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,000
But many golfers stop that movement of rotating the club as they get down into the release.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:36,000
What rotates the club when you get down into the release is more of the lead wrist supination.

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:45,000
So letting that form kind of rotate so that the palm is facing up or the famous Jimmy Ballard catch a range drop,

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
where that palm is facing up as opposed to palm facing down.

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000
So that continues the motorcycle from waist height through to waist height through.

00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:04,000
From the trail side it's going to be a little bit more of the pronation as opposed to flexion of the wrist like so.

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
So to continue the motorcycle movement during the entire downswing,

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000
what that's going to look like is I'm going to start it with flexion and then as the club starts to unhing,

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
now it's going to continue rotating in more of that supination style.

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:28,000
So if I give myself enough room, I'm going to start it with that flexion of the motorcycle and then as I unhing,

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I'm going to continue that supination in order to let the motorcycle movement continue down through the release.

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
So many golfers start the motorcycle move but then lose it during the release.

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
If you feel like you do the motorcycle or if you feel like you do the arm shallowing and you focus on the motorcycle,

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
but you're hitting lots of slices or balls that go curving off to the right.

00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Know that it's impossible to actually do the motorcycle movement and have a massive slice.

00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:09,000
You could hit a little power fade, but it's very hard to have the face get open to the path since the motorcycle movement closes the face to path.

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:18,000
So if you're struggling with that type of contact, then you can work in some of these kind of pump styles and you can just feel,

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
all right, I've started it rotating and instead of feeling my exact body part,

00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I'm just going to feel the club face rotating and I'm going to feel like it's just going to gradually rotate all the way down until I make contact with the golf wall.

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:44,000
And if I'm aware of it, the changing movement is going to go from flexing during transition to as it starts on hinge,

00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
supernating on the way through in order to continue that rotating.

00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:57,000
So if you're struggling with the motorcycle and or your ball flight, don't forget to continue the motorcycle movement as you work through the release drills,

00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:13,000
because if you just started during transition, you can totally lose it with poor release mechanics and frequently the release mechanic that gets overlooked the most is letting that lead arm supinate as you work through from that nine to that three position.
