00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
This drill is high low high.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
So high low high is a build on the low to high release.

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
So I would say that this is a more advanced concept.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
This is definitely for kind of your mid upper single digit golfer is even down to your

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
scratch and competitive playing golfer.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
For working on building more of this flat spot down at the bottom.

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
In the low to high release drill, we basically get set up and then we're going to bring the

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
club down and out.

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
So from this down the line, you'll see the goal is to exaggerate.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
It's going down and out.

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000
And then from here, the goal is then to use the body so that the grip is coming up

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
and in as the club is going down and out.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
That creates more of this flat bottom of the swing.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
As opposed to if I was up here and I just released the club straight down more like

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
a wrecking ball.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So if I released and the grip and the club continue to go down, it would have a little

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
bit more of an abrupt change down at the bottom compared to if I have more of this low

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,000
and out to up and in, I'll feel the club really slide along the bottom of the ground and

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
have a nice little flat spot there.

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
But then the challenge becomes when I go from the low to high to the tenda tour when

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
I start going from high to low to high.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
So the key in that is making sure that I'm getting the down and out more from the body

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,000
and then continuing to use the body on the way through.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So timing wise what usually happens is a lot of golfers who are more active with their

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
arms tend to release the club like this and you'll see that my chest stays more level

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
in the club and the hands go down into the golf ball.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Now granted you can make solid contact but it tends to be a little bit more inconsistent

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
or has a shorter window where the club is down on the ground.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
You'll tend to have steeper contact, kind of diggy divot where what a lot of better players

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
do is they use their body so that the club is getting down and out through here continue

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000
to use the body so that when they do the release the club just slides along the ground.

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,000
In order to do that the timing goes from kind of fast early to feeding through this

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
low to high.

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:48,000
It has a feeling of more of a swinging through the ball rather than hitting at the ball.

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
So I like to mix those two together so you're going to do some low to high where you

00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:01,000
just practice bringing the club out and down in and up.

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
That's going to happen primarily from the pivot not from I don't want to see some artificial

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
kind of arm action like this.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
You'll notice my arms are actually extending as I'm going through and I can monitor the

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
ball flight.

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
You'll be able to see from the down the line that even though the hands are coming

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000
up and around the club head is going down and out so the ball is flying pretty straight

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
fairly true.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I can even hit a draw that way.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000
If you tend to have more of this arm tension or lack of owner deviation then you'll

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:46,000
tend to have more of a shot like this where both the club and the handle went up and left.

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Instead of being able to have that owner deviation and softness that allows the handle

00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
to come up and in but the club just still go out.

00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Next we're going to try and add the speed coming from down through that position.

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
So we're going to go just slightly above it.

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
We're going to preset that.

00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000
We're going to go just slightly above it and we're going to feel like the hand path

00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:21,000
following the body is going to go out to in as the club is shallowing a little bit

00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
with that owner deviation so it's not quite following the exact same path.

00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
If I exaggerated it would be it will feel like the club is kind of going like that as the

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
handle is going this way.

00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000
So the club head will drop inside somewhere to that Zoro loop kind of feeling down there.

00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
So we're going to do one where we go just past the point.

00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000
That was really good right there and that had a feeling like I accelerated through that

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
transition of height of low before coming up high again.

00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
So it all blended instead of having more of this hit impulse.

00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
So like I said this is definitely a more advanced drill but this can be really powerful

00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,000
for good golfers especially if you struggle with a little bit more of a two way miss or

00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
with a with diggy contact.

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
So work through lengthening the longer the swing.

00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,000
The longer the swing I'm going to have to kind of build that speed even a little bit more

00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
gradually.

00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
The longer the swing the more that if I go early the club is going to continue to have

00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000
a trajectory going down or the grip is going to have a trajectory going down.

00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
As opposed to coming up the best place to look for that on video is from the face on view

00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000
where if you look at it from this here if you draw a line at the top of the hands you'll

00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
either see the club going down through there or you'll see the grip.

00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
So they close to the same height.

00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,000
A rough guide is having the club somewhere around mid thigh from that face on view if the

00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
camera is set at a good height where if you're more high to low it will be more at about

00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,000
hip height.

00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:13,000
So on a fuller swing high to low so the one I'm trying to work out of would be more

00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
like that.

00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Again hit it pretty solid little thin but won't have the same flat spot and feeling

00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,000
down at the bottom as this one where I felt like I got my hands really low and then the

00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
speed was much later through the ball and the ball just feels like it jumps as opposed

00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
to being struck.

00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,000
So if you're struggling with this height or the low to high component of the release

00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000
then mix in some real gradual high low high to work on that timing of the blend from

00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000
using the body kind of through this corner and into that really powerful follow through

00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
position.

00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Alright let's do a little demo of the three balls we're going to hit.

00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,000
So low to high it's not the club is not going to go above waist height because I'm going

00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000
down and out to up and in there's no going above the lowest point.

00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Next one I'm going to go slightly above that point so it's going to go I'm going to

00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
feel that going down and then back up and then the last one is going to be a full swing

00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,000
where I'm going to feel blending through that position with a lot of speed.

00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Kind of like that.
