00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
The Stirl is hands-in-clubed out. So the Stirl was actually inspired by a student

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
of mine where we were working on the release pattern and he described it as kind of the

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,000
opposite of that classic description of the takeaway where frequently they would talk

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
about in the takeaway in order to get your cordu engaged to have your hands work inside

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
but the club stay outside your hands kind of like so. So just like the one piece take away

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000
going this way. If you have a really solid release pattern what you'll tend to see is the

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000
club will stay outside of your hands as you go into the follow-through. So what'll happen is it'll

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
look kind of like this and then the rotation of the pivot is where it gets it pointing in the direction

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
of the target but this is one of the feelings why a lot of golfers will feel like they're swinging

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,000
out to right field as opposed to having the club work dead in line with the hands. So if you

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000
see yourself on on the face on camera and you tend to see a lot of that where you tend to see kind

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
of those hands working out in the forms really looking like they have a lot of roll or doing it

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,000
from the down the line if you see a lot of that then what would happen frequently what happens when

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
you have that pattern of kind of getting more of the club face closing by this wrist roll

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:29,000
not having owner and motorcycle quite as much. What'll happen is your body will have to stall

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:36,000
and kind of freeze in order to accommodate that. So if you were to do that release and you were to

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
continue rotating what you would see from the down the line if you did that release but you continued

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
rotating you would see that the club would be very much to the left at Chef Parallel checkpoint.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So there's a simple little drill where basically you're going to position in the line

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
at rod somewhere down the target line. I haven't figured out it's a little different for everybody

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,000
but it seems to be about halfway between a target line and stance line depending on the length

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
of the club. But basically what you're going to do is you're going to work on having your hands

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
work to the left as you're extending your arms out but the club is going to stay out to the right.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,000
If I was to do more of a flip here you would see that I would have my hands out in the same line

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000
as the club. So from the down the line it would look something like this where basically

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:39,000
stand a little closer. So as my body pivots and turns the club will rotate but the club will

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
be pointing slightly out to the right and then what would happen is in the full swing as I continued

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
rotating my body the club would disappear but this gives kind of the look in the appearance of

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
that hands left. Now if you're using alignment rods you can take a swim noodle and put it on top

00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
so that you don't damage your club. I wouldn't recommend doing this in full swings but again in

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
the 93 this is perfectly safe and you would basically just make sure that the club works to the

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
outside of the of the shaft up until about arms parallel. So if you're doing even shorter than

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,000
93 you can you can use it as a real checkpoint where you actually don't even hit this thing but

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000
if you're hitting it with any force I think it's going to be a challenge to stop it before then so

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I usually use this as kind of a training station so go into the station make 10 reps there

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
and then try to do a rep with the ball out in front of you but this will force

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000
more of that body rotation and just arm extension a little bit of the motorcycle it kind of

00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
forces you to get a few of these things right now. If you find that when you start doing this

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
the ball starts launching way off to the right so you're trying to get it out there and it's going

00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
more like that so you're hitting it way off to the right what that means is that you're probably

00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
using this as your dominant squaring mechanism and you have to get used to having a little bit more

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
of that shaft rotation if you're going to have more of a body pivot. If you want to just work

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
on your stall and work on your tempo and have your upper body be more on top of the ball and kind

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000
of gover into that way and just play that flip that's absolutely no problem but if you want to work

00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,000
on getting more body rotation smoothing out that flat spot getting rid of that stall flip pattern

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
then you're going to have to get used to the hands being a little bit more inside or the club

00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
outside the hands similar to the way that they described the takeaway is what we're going to see in the

00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
founder.

00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
you

00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000
you
