00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This is training hands-in club out with a pool noodle.
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,000
So many golfers who slice the ball or pull the ball tend to have a very left-ward release
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
pattern.
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
So, oftentimes they'll say they can feel that they're getting really steep and they
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
will describe that they're getting on top of it.
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
But if we look at it from the down-the-line camera, oftentimes at this checkpoint, the
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
club is just inside the hand.
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So it's not in the outward direction, which means that the left-ward path is happening
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
all from there down to the golf ball.
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
So it's only a release problem.
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
It's not really a transition problem.
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So what's usually happening is they're in an okay position there and then the grip
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,000
freezes and the hand releases or the right arm releases more like this and then it gets
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
really underneath like so.
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So a checkpoint in the follow-through is that the hands are just or the club is just slightly
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
outside the hands from a down-the-line target view.
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So if I swing my hands out to the right, that doesn't help me get the club out to the
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,000
right.
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
What helps me get the club out to the right is having more of a soft rotation in the
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
arms while keeping the extension of the wrists as long as possible.
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
So basically coming through more like that, as opposed to coming through the ball, more
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
with a flip like that.
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
You can see that when I flip that gets the club swinging way to the left.
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
When I hold it the extension of the wrist or the flexion of the leader's, that keeps it
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
going more out to the right.
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
If I then accompany that with body rotation, I can get the handle to go to the left and
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
the club to stay out to the right.
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:54,000
It gives me a very soft shallow ground contact and ultimately gives me a very repeatable
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
penetrating ball flight.
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
So if you are struggling with more of this outside-in release, here's how you set up the
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
station.
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So I've got roughly in line with that flag and I put the pool noodle roughly in line with
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
my knees or a little bit outside of my knees so that if I had the club shaft, it's
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
just inside, but it's not too far out away.
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:27,000
So I'm bringing it relatively close to my legs just to make sure that if I scoop more
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
like this, I'm going to catch it.
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
I can always check with a down-the-line camera.
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,000
If the club is exiting well under my hands like this and it doesn't hit it, then it might
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
not be in the right spot.
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
So again you'll see even if I come into a decent position here, if I release it
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
more like this, I'm going to make contact with the tripod or with the foam noodle.
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Hopefully look something like that and there I hit my pole if I left the face open,
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
I would have sliced it.
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:13,000
If on the other hand, I get into roughly that same position here and then I maintain
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
the extension of my wrist.
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Keep turning my body through.
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
You'll see the club finish more a little bit out to the right.
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Once I've got a feeling doing it in more slow motion shots, then I can move up to three
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
quarter swings and ultimately full shots.
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Kinda more like that.
