00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:08.500
This Thrill is the gravity release. So the gravity

2
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:11.600
release is a way to train getting into

3
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:14.500
a good impact position without creating a

4
00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:18.100
whole lot of arm tension. So while

5
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:20.300
some tension is good that allows you

6
00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.100
to transfer some energy through your body into the

7
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:26.300
club oftentimes. I see amateurs having a really

8
00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:29.600
aggressive or tightening of the arm, whether

9
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.400
that's trying to control the club

10
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:35.800
face down at the bottom the swing or trying to apply a really

11
00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:39.000
big hit that ultimately makes

12
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.300
it harder to get shaft lean. So typically

13
00:00:41.300 --> 00:00:44.500
that will have more of this kind

14
00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:46.800
of look to it and then things will

15
00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:49.400
Bend or break on the way through

16
00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:53.600
so the gravity release is taking a

17
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.400
concept like the impact fix where we're trying to get the hands slightly

18
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.800
forward and slightly up kind of

19
00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:02.100
even with the left eye body in this

20
00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:05.500
good Merry Go Round position. So we're trying to get into this

21
00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:08.400
position here, but we're trying to get there

22
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.500
by having the arms fall to that position from

23
00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:14.100
more of a ten o'clock backswing or so

24
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:17.200
that will cause me to feel like a little

25
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.300
bit of this falling wipe where the arm is working across my

26
00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:23.900
body oftentimes golfers who have too much tension will

27
00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:26.500
either pull it across and never release

28
00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:29.700
it or throw it out and release it early. So this

29
00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:32.700
gravity release kind of combines the White

30
00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:35.400
and The Arm extension into one feeling.

31
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.200
Now if you're doing this correctly, you should

32
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.300
be able to stop a couple feet after

33
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:45.700
impact or before well before

34
00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:48.600
follow-through position. So I'm close

35
00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:51.300
enough over here. You can see it will be easiest to

36
00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:51.300
do.

37
00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:56.400
on Turf because you'll get a little you'll

38
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.300
have the advantage of having

39
00:01:58.300 --> 00:02:01.800
the club interaction with the ground helping you decelerate,

40
00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:03.100
but

41
00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:07.900
You can do it off Matt's so I'll demonstrate here

42
00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:10.800
and one of the challenges is how

43
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.100
hard can you hit it while still getting this kind of

44
00:02:13.100 --> 00:02:16.500
feeling of gravity. So I'm going

45
00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:18.000
to bring it up to that ten o'clock position.

46
00:02:19.100 --> 00:02:23.500
And I'm going to let the club fall into

47
00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.400
that impact position. So it's

48
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.300
going to feel like there's this falling across my

49
00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:31.100
body and then out not just

50
00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:34.200
falling straight out. So where I see kind of

51
00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:37.300
the pattern the problem one would be letting it

52
00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:37.600
fall.

53
00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:41.200
Kind of like this and you'll see even though I tried to

54
00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:43.700
stop it because the club had passed my wrist.

55
00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:48.600
Down to the bottom. It was hard to stop before follow through

56
00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:48.800
position.

57
00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:52.100
If I do a better one.

58
00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:54.100
So now I'm going to try and get into.

59
00:02:55.700 --> 00:02:58.400
A really good impact position. You'll see

60
00:02:58.400 --> 00:02:59.300
that I hit those.

61
00:03:00.100 --> 00:03:03.300
Comparable distances I did hit that first one. Maybe just a touch further,

62
00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:05.800
but you'll see follow through wise.

63
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.200
That so that one went past the one

64
00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:14.800
where I flipped it and you can see the head of very short follow-through the

65
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.000
similar to The Recoil drill any of

66
00:03:17.100 --> 00:03:20.500
the drills where you're working on getting the arm extension without

67
00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:23.700
letting the wrist flip should enable you

68
00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:26.500
to get a shorter follow through so that

69
00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:29.900
short follow through becomes a self-limiter of

70
00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:32.500
the drill where if you're doing it, right you

71
00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:35.100
can stop really short even if you're hitting it kind of

72
00:03:35.100 --> 00:03:35.400
hard.

73
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.400
Where if you have a hard time stopping short, it's almost

74
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.900
always because you have too much activity of that right

75
00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:45.300
arm or too much activity of the left shoulder pull

76
00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:48.600
on the way through so if you've worked on

77
00:03:48.600 --> 00:03:51.400
some of the positions and maybe you're pretty good at doing

78
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.300
some nine to threes and getting some

79
00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:57.700
shaft lean, but then it breaks down when you go higher up try the

80
00:03:57.700 --> 00:04:00.800
gravity release to help feel this falling blending

81
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.700
of the wipe into a really good impact position.

82
00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:04.700
Okay, so we'll do

83
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:06.400
one more good one.

84
00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:13.000
Like that, and then this can become a breaking

85
00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:15.100
drill. Where now I'm going to try to hit this

86
00:04:15.100 --> 00:04:16.000
even hard.

87
00:04:16.900 --> 00:04:17.700
while stopping

88
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.800
as short as I can.

89
00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:25.300
There my arms still felt like they were falling with

90
00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:28.100
gravity, but my body felt like it was a whole lot more active.
