00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
This drill is the float load. So this is very similar to the idea of the throwers catch.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
This has become more popular with the recent popularity of Matt Wolfe.

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
So basically what's going to happen is instead of doing all these movements in the backswing

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:24,000
and then releasing them on the way down, we're going to avoid doing any movement of the wrist whatsoever during the backswing

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
and then we're going to do all the movement during transition.

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:36,000
This creates the timing of when we want our maximum stretch to occur, which is on the downswing, not at the top of the swing.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The movement is largely going to be in the flexion extension direction, so I'm going to get to the top

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
and then I'm going to extend my wrist as I'm starting down.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:55,000
This creates more of that load such as what I call the throwers catch, which is when you're throwing that right wrist tends to

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
extend before it then flexes.

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:08,000
When we do this or when I look at 3D data, what you'll see is that the elite ball strikers tend to reach their maximum wrist extension

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:16,000
somewhere around just below delivery position kind of right around here, where many amateurs reach their maximum extended position of the top

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
and then they start casting or throwing that angle right away.

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Well one way to ensure that you're not going to throw the angle is to prevent the angle from getting in in the first place.

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:40,000
So we're going to do kind of a restricted or almost an exaggerated takeaway and then float load it during the downswing.

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Now, I usually am more lenient on contact misses because it's exaggerated, it's a little hard or harder to control where the low point's going to be.

00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:01,000
But part goal is to feel this exaggerated loading or what's called float loading during transition.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So we're going to bring it back with no wrist movement and then we're going to rapidly load,

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000
like I said, caught that a little thin, so low point wasn't that great, but we're going to rapidly load and unload

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
during the downswing. So almost the three quarter swing this time, no load.

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Another one little thin, I tend to get a little out of sequence when I tried to do these.

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
We'll see if we can get one a little bit better. So float load, float load into there.

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:52,000
That was a little bit better, a little bit more in rhythm. So this can be really good for two different scenarios.

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,000
One is if I tend to create more of a cast sequence where I'm releasing that wrist angle early on.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
And two, this can be really helpful for golfers to tend to get more of a rotation or more of a steepening move.

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Oftentimes what happens in that case is I get too much wrist extension at the top.

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And then instead of removing the wrist extension, I take some of the slack off the wrist by

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:27,000
rotating the shoulder. So if I go up to the top and then extend that wrist, it's much easier for me to

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
extend that wrist and keep that elbow in rather than extend that wrist and get that elbow out.

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
So oftentimes this feeling of getting narrow is helpful for getting that trail arm to shallow

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
for golfers to tend to get a little steep in transition. So we'll do it again, except this time we'll go

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
even bigger so kind of all the way up towards the top where I'm having very little change in the

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,000
flexion of the right wrist, all on Matt Wolf, and then creating that extension during transition.

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000
So I recommend doing at least half three quarter swings. This is really hard to do on a nine to three

00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:20,000
because you just don't have enough time to put it in place. It is possible, we'll give it a try.

00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000
So no movement there. But the change has to happen so quickly that I find that it's almost

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000
not worth it. I like doing this one closer to three quarter swings or even up to full swings.

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:45,000
We'll do one more full. So float load where you feel no extension of the wrist until the

00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
change direction that helps you get the better timing of the maximum extension during the downswing.
