00:00:00.410 --> 00:00:02.760
in this video we're gonna take a look at

00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:04.650
bowing the lead wrist to close the club

00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:07.529
face so it I've gotten like three

00:00:07.529 --> 00:00:10.349
questions here in the last month of of

00:00:10.349 --> 00:00:12.870
basically saying does bowing your lead

00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:14.730
wrist close the club face because I've

00:00:14.730 --> 00:00:16.199
heard a number of instructors saying

00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.690
that no it does it and I'll give you the

00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:19.830
two different perspectives because you

00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:21.810
pretty much have to I don't think

00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:22.769
there's a middle ground you have to

00:00:22.769 --> 00:00:24.000
choose one way or the other you can

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.920
understand the other but you got to

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.720
choose one of them either you're going

00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:30.810
to look at the club in just its overall

00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:32.369
relationship with the club like if

00:00:32.369 --> 00:00:34.500
you're or the target line I should say

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.120
so if you're looking at something like

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:38.309
Trackman and you say okay that clubface

00:00:38.309 --> 00:00:41.160
is either open or closed just based on

00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:43.350
where the club is the other option is

00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:44.760
you're going to look at the individual

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:46.969
components and how the body is affecting

00:00:46.969 --> 00:00:50.640
the open closed and the path at any

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.129
point in time if you're gonna do the

00:00:53.129 --> 00:00:54.449
latter if you're gonna look at

00:00:54.449 --> 00:00:57.930
individual components then flexing that

00:00:57.930 --> 00:01:01.350
lead wrist is going to close the club

00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:05.250
face and move the path to the right what

00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:08.250
ends up happening is or what I've seen

00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:10.950
is to a couple different instructors

00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:13.530
we're demonstrating the on on track man

00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:17.130
you can hear I am here clubface is

00:01:17.130 --> 00:01:19.020
square and then I bow that wrist and

00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:21.180
club face is square the problem is they

00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:23.820
did other movements so if I was here and

00:01:23.820 --> 00:01:27.500
I just boat the wrist now I'm still in

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.060
everything else is stayed the same the

00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:32.880
club is not on the golf ball I'm not at

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:34.619
impact position I would have to use

00:01:34.619 --> 00:01:36.630
something that would move the path to

00:01:36.630 --> 00:01:39.150
the left either a rotation or what

00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:41.310
they're demonstrating which is shoulder

00:01:41.310 --> 00:01:43.409
adduction so if I pull that arm away

00:01:43.409 --> 00:01:45.689
from me that's gonna tend to open the

00:01:45.689 --> 00:01:46.079
clubface

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.060
so if I close the club face with the

00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:49.560
wrist and I open the clubface from the

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.479
shoulder yeah the clubface is gonna look

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:54.119
like it's still square just with less

00:01:54.119 --> 00:01:56.729
loft but that doesn't mean that this by

00:01:56.729 --> 00:01:59.130
itself didn't close the club face so

00:01:59.130 --> 00:02:00.899
hopefully this helps you understand but

00:02:00.899 --> 00:02:02.969
yes in my opinion if you're breaking

00:02:02.969 --> 00:02:05.640
down these individual movements flexing

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.770
that lead wrist or bowing that lead

00:02:07.770 --> 00:02:09.780
wrist is going to move the path of the

00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:11.610
club to the right and it's going to

00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:14.250
close the club face if you then

00:02:14.250 --> 00:02:16.050
are able to get a similar clubface

00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:17.430
alignment it means that you're doing

00:02:17.430 --> 00:02:19.890
other complementary things to reopen

00:02:19.890 --> 00:02:22.320
that clubface and understanding how

00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:23.850
those two work together will ultimately

00:02:23.850 --> 00:02:26.040
allow you to fine tune and self manage

00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:29.420
your own swing on the course
