This drill is the impact bag release timing.

1
00:00:07.625 --> 00:00:11.165
Um, so in this drill we're gonna take a look at the shoulder

2
00:00:11.355 --> 00:00:14.085
release timing and how it would relate to the feeling

3
00:00:14.105 --> 00:00:16.045
of kind of creating speed with the impact bag.

4
00:00:16.345 --> 00:00:20.205
Um, this can be a important barrier for a lot of golfers

5
00:00:20.205 --> 00:00:22.685
who are more kind of arm dominant pole

6
00:00:22.785 --> 00:00:26.045
and then get into more internal rotation of the arm, uh,

7
00:00:26.045 --> 00:00:27.365
coming into impact.

8
00:00:27.905 --> 00:00:30.605
So if I was going to try

9
00:00:30.745 --> 00:00:33.685
and go into internal rotation kind of like this, you'll see

10
00:00:33.685 --> 00:00:35.805
that I have to apply the force into the club

11
00:00:36.755 --> 00:00:40.565
earlier than if I was to maintain external rotation

12
00:00:40.565 --> 00:00:43.365
or try to maintain external rotation while getting more

13
00:00:43.365 --> 00:00:44.965
of the release down in the forearm.

14
00:00:45.385 --> 00:00:48.685
So, uh, as a quick demonstration,

15
00:00:48.685 --> 00:00:50.605
you'll see if I get up here in,

16
00:00:50.625 --> 00:00:53.805
or if I tried to hold this on too late, like I wasn't able

17
00:00:53.805 --> 00:00:57.205
to get enough speed by releasing that internal rotation

18
00:00:57.625 --> 00:01:00.085
to get that internal rotation to create some speed,

19
00:01:00.465 --> 00:01:03.245
you'll see I, I'm releasing the energy

20
00:01:03.245 --> 00:01:04.805
of the arm somewhere up around here.

21
00:01:05.185 --> 00:01:09.685
Now if I was to keep this connection here, uh, so keep

22
00:01:09.685 --> 00:01:11.845
that arm on a little bit more internal path.

23
00:01:12.265 --> 00:01:17.085
So internal rotation, you'll see that I can get

24
00:01:18.265 --> 00:01:21.805
the release timing, feeling like it's happening much later.

25
00:01:22.305 --> 00:01:26.165
Um, sometimes the look isn't quite as dramatic as the feel,

26
00:01:26.425 --> 00:01:28.285
but it feels like I can get all the way down here

27
00:01:28.285 --> 00:01:30.565
with my body and then release it.

28
00:01:31.545 --> 00:01:33.125
If we put the second hand on,

29
00:01:33.125 --> 00:01:34.925
maybe it'll be a little bit more obvious.

30
00:01:35.025 --> 00:01:38.125
So I'm gonna try and get the internal rotation

31
00:01:38.865 --> 00:01:41.885
and you'll see when I have to release that compared to now.

32
00:01:42.505 --> 00:01:44.685
If I get this position here

33
00:01:46.065 --> 00:01:49.085
and you'll see I can create potentially like more force,

34
00:01:49.405 --> 00:01:52.125
I can create more of a pop feel, um,

35
00:01:53.035 --> 00:01:54.845
when I maintain this connection.

36
00:01:54.845 --> 00:01:57.045
But the pop is happening more from the forearm

37
00:01:57.265 --> 00:01:58.285
and less from the shoulder.

38
00:01:58.785 --> 00:02:01.405
So if you tend to have more of either a stall

39
00:02:01.505 --> 00:02:04.565
or a downswing throw, you could be, uh,

40
00:02:04.705 --> 00:02:06.805
you could benefit from doing some impact bag training

41
00:02:06.855 --> 00:02:09.045
where you're working more on the timing.

42
00:02:09.865 --> 00:02:13.205
Um, and in order to improve the timing, you're gonna have

43
00:02:13.205 --> 00:02:15.565
to feel like you do more of the work from the forearm

44
00:02:15.565 --> 00:02:17.085
and less of the work from the shoulder.

45
00:02:17.355 --> 00:02:18.645
Okay, so for some people

46
00:02:18.665 --> 00:02:21.525
to think a demonstration might get a little bit easier if I

47
00:02:21.525 --> 00:02:25.525
was to go up and go into that, um, internal rotation again,

48
00:02:25.525 --> 00:02:28.805
you'll see the timing of when that tends to take place.

49
00:02:29.235 --> 00:02:32.525
I'll do that again. I'll go up and you'll feel

50
00:02:32.865 --> 00:02:34.885
or you'll see hit that pretty solid.

51
00:02:34.945 --> 00:02:37.485
It was a big pole, um, but hit that pretty solid.

52
00:02:37.625 --> 00:02:40.205
If I flip the wrist, it would go straighter,

53
00:02:40.205 --> 00:02:41.285
but I would've hit that more thin.

54
00:02:42.385 --> 00:02:46.205
So now on the next one, we will keep that longer

55
00:02:46.825 --> 00:02:50.085
and get more of the release happening at the forearm

56
00:02:50.305 --> 00:02:54.725
and less of the release happening at the shoulder.

57
00:02:54.785 --> 00:02:56.325
And you'll see that it goes straighter.

58
00:02:56.625 --> 00:03:01.325
Um, and it tends to have, um, a look

59
00:03:01.505 --> 00:03:04.485
of more smoothness, a look of more rhythm, um,

60
00:03:04.845 --> 00:03:07.205
'cause I'm able to use my body a little bit better

61
00:03:10.395 --> 00:03:13.485
When I am not going early with that shoulder.

62
00:03:13.585 --> 00:03:16.165
So if you're struggling with the trail arm mechanics, um,

63
00:03:16.395 --> 00:03:18.685
this, uh, impact bag pop, uh,

64
00:03:19.025 --> 00:03:20.245
and the timing

65
00:03:20.345 --> 00:03:23.485
of the shoulder release can sometimes be the breakthrough

66
00:03:23.485 --> 00:03:27.045
moment you need, um, in order to kind of give you permission

67
00:03:27.065 --> 00:03:30.205
to put the arm in a little bit better, uh, better position,

68
00:03:30.915 --> 00:03:35.165
potentially the right arm going into internal could be

69
00:03:35.165 --> 00:03:36.485
caused by the left arm pulling.

70
00:03:36.705 --> 00:03:38.125
So if you tried this right arm a bunch

71
00:03:38.185 --> 00:03:41.005
and the, it just, it's not making enough of a dent,

72
00:03:41.685 --> 00:03:44.525
investigate some of the lead arm drills blocking that throw,

73
00:03:44.865 --> 00:03:46.365
um, they could be the big breakthrough.

74
00:03:46.425 --> 00:03:48.405
But getting your shoulder connected and,

75
00:03:48.625 --> 00:03:51.285
and better timed ultimately is one of the biggest

76
00:03:52.365 --> 00:03:54.165
contributors to creating, uh,

77
00:03:54.355 --> 00:03:58.205
that really good quality tor impact position with shalene

78
00:03:58.345 --> 00:04:02.005
and flat, um, or long arc width, all the good stuff.

79
00:04:02.035 --> 00:04:04.445
Alright, so some of you might see it better if we

80
00:04:04.445 --> 00:04:05.605
do a little demonstration.

81
00:04:05.985 --> 00:04:09.045
So what you'll see is when I go to release that shoulder,

82
00:04:09.545 --> 00:04:12.245
um, again, if I got it all the way down here

83
00:04:12.245 --> 00:04:15.285
and then tried to release the shoulder, you see I have

84
00:04:15.285 --> 00:04:17.245
to move the handle back like it feels very,

85
00:04:17.705 --> 00:04:19.365
um, out of sorts.

86
00:04:19.745 --> 00:04:21.725
So if I'm going to release that shoulder,

87
00:04:23.355 --> 00:04:24.765
it's gonna tend to happen sooner.

88
00:04:24.765 --> 00:04:26.925
And you'll see I hit pretty big pull on that.

89
00:04:28.025 --> 00:04:31.845
Um, so now on this next one, I'm gonna feel like that

90
00:04:32.605 --> 00:04:34.525
shoulder stays connected longer

91
00:04:34.625 --> 00:04:36.765
and I get more of the release happening there

92
00:04:37.275 --> 00:04:38.325
from the forearm

93
00:04:38.425 --> 00:04:41.085
and less of the movement happening from the shoulder.

94
00:04:42.745 --> 00:04:44.965
And you'll see that it tends to go straighter.

95
00:04:45.465 --> 00:04:48.845
Um, and it probably has a look of more rhythm it

96
00:04:48.845 --> 00:04:51.805
because I'm getting more of this kind of, uh,

97
00:04:52.305 --> 00:04:56.285
pop at the bottom of this release, um, rather than

98
00:04:56.845 --> 00:04:58.805
a very forceful movement early on.

99
00:04:59.385 --> 00:05:01.725
So if you're struggling with your release,

100
00:05:01.905 --> 00:05:04.845
if you're struggling with kind of, uh, steep arms

101
00:05:04.865 --> 00:05:07.725
or a little bit more cast, sometimes this timing way

102
00:05:07.725 --> 00:05:11.165
of looking at the shoulders can be a big breakthrough.

103
00:05:11.425 --> 00:05:13.685
If you work on this right arm a bunch

104
00:05:13.745 --> 00:05:15.365
and it's just not making any progress,

105
00:05:15.595 --> 00:05:17.205
then take a look at the left arm.

106
00:05:17.205 --> 00:05:19.285
There's a potential that the left arm is steepening

107
00:05:19.285 --> 00:05:21.005
and that's really what's causing your,

108
00:05:21.195 --> 00:05:22.285
your trail arm to throw.

109
00:05:22.465 --> 00:05:24.685
But ultimately when you figure out the arms, um,

110
00:05:25.575 --> 00:05:29.005
connecting it to the body creates some really good high

111
00:05:29.005 --> 00:05:30.085
level consistency.

112
00:05:30.385 --> 00:05:33.845
Um, helps improve the start line as well as trajectory one

113
00:05:33.845 --> 00:05:35.085
of the hallmarks for being able

114
00:05:35.085 --> 00:05:37.485
to hit your irons consistently and close.

115
00:05:37.865 --> 00:05:40.445
All right, so let's do one good one here.

116
00:05:45.515 --> 00:05:49.325
Lost my balance. Just a touch, but pretty good shot.
