Get Your Supination From Arm Extension -

One of the key moves to good driving is having enough lead arm supination on the way through impact. But many golfers don't get that supination when they try to supinate. Instead, I encourage a softer arm tension and more arm extension to allow for the supination to happen naturally. Combined with ulnar deviation, that arm extension and supination helps create width in the follow through.

This content video is get your supination from arm extension.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,000
So I have a handful of videos on the timing and the direction that the arms extend and

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
making sure that the arms are extending through the ball and out in front of the ball instead

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
of at the ball.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
A lot of movements were bodies tend to stall or you tend to have more of a scoop or

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
you tend to have more of a stand up.

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Those stem from having your arm extension at the ball.

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Now whether that's more to help you control low point and make solid contact or to help

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
you square the face, that takes a little bit of investigation, but the arm direction

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
is a key component to a good solid release.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Now the purpose of this video is to help you feel how your arms extending from a already

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
rotated position because you did a little bit of arm shallowing will cause them to want

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
to rotate if they're rotating while staying fairly loose and relaxed.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Where golfers tend to have stalled rotation, tends to come more from grip tension or basically

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
squeezing onto the club to stop it from rotating and then bending the arms.

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
This can either come from outside in, kind of like that.

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Then if I kept my arms extending the club would slay him into the ground so I tense my

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
arms and hold off the rotation.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Or the low point is going to hit behind the golf ball so I tense my arms to bend my

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
arms slightly so that I can just just barely pick the ball and avoid hitting it fat.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:42,000
But the arm extension direction and the kind of the combination of having that motorcycle

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
and then extending those arms out in front from a rotated position will create enough

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
supination if you let it.

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
What I find is that some golfers first getting into that pattern will tend to prevent the

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
supination or the rotation on the way through and that limits your arm extension on the way

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
through.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So to feel that I like to get into delivery position and do either the pumps or the delivery

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
and go and basically from here I'm going to extend my arms and by extending my arms that's

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
going to cause them to rotate.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,000
I am not getting into this position and then kind of actively rotating this way because

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:30,000
if I actively rotate this way it's very hard to then get the shalloness from the supination.

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
So if I actively rotate more on top I will tend to have kind of more of a steep chunky

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
pull kind of like that which can be useful as a troubleshot for getting out of the trees

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
but that's about it.

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
My arms are in a rotated position in this delivery position.

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:56,000
They're nice and shallow like this and then as I go to extend them they are going to rotate

00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
purely because I'm extending from a already rotated position and then the weight of the

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
club and the momentum is going to help encourage that supination on the way through.

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So we're going to do a couple where we focus on that soft grip pressure letting those arms

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
rotate on the way through because I extended them from a rotated position.

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So to work through it I'm going to do a few of kind of that feeling of that arm extension

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000
out in front and feeling that lead thumb throw away in order to allow that extension to

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
create that rotation and then I'm going to take that feeling and I'm going to apply it

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,000
in a pump style move so I'm going to get into a good shallow position and then I'm going to

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,000
pump more through the release kind of like this and then let it go with enough softness and

00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
enough decreased arm tension to let it supinate and I'll know that I allowed it to supinate

00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
because I'll get arm extension on the way through where it's very hard if you have a lot of

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
grip pressure grip tension to have either the supination or the arm extension.

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
So then I'll do it just as they stand along swing without the pump in it.

00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
More like that.
