00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This release drill is isolating owner.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So, owner deviation is the unhinged part of the release, and sometimes it can get lost in

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
the mix, but it's a critical piece for having that good extension on the way through,

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,000
because what you'll see is if I hinge, which is radial deviation, if I just don't fully

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
unhing, and what'll happen is it'll have a much more narrow look on this follow-through.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
This can be much more important for driving.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
You'll see for a Macaroid Jason Day, Jim Furik.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Lots of really good drivers, the golf ball, who have this kind of late, wide, long look to it.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Where that comes from is isolating this owner deviation.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
One of the benefits that isolating that owner deviation is as the club gets kind of inline.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Now there's very little resistance to letting the club rotate, which also keeps my arms moving.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Further away from me and gets that good extension on the way through.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So what we'll do is we'll do nine to three drills, and we're going to isolate this

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
owner deviation and talk about the timing of it.

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
So from a face-on perspective, if I'm doing a nine to three, so I'm getting into this position,

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000
one of the first movements is going to be that kind of owner deviation before that rotation

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
happens secondary through the ball.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
So this owner deviation, and you'll notice it's not a cast movement, so I'm not flexing

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
my wrist and I'm not straightening that right tricep.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
I'm just lowering the club down towards the ground kind of like this.

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Now when I do that, what I would do in the actual swing is I would accompany that with

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,000
body rotation so that instead of it ending up here behind the golf ball, the move will

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
finish here pointing at the target.

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
So from the down the line view, what you'll see is if I'm in this waist height and I have

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
a tendency to see the club kind of get out there, that could be an okay body movement,

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
kind of almost everything except for if I did that again, but now I add that owner deviation,

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
you can see that now the club is tracking one or more shallow path.

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
So this is one of the big shallower, it gets the club away from you, it gets the club kind

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
of down low, allows for side bend and rotation through the ball.

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
This can be a key missing piece to a lot of players releases, because what they'll tend to

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
do is they'll want to kind of hold this the hands pretty much firm and pretty much in the

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
exact same position, and then the club will get too high, and so what I'll have to do is I'll

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
have to use my shoulders to get the club down towards the golf ball, but you can see that

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
that's going to mess up some of the bottom of my swing and ultimately that path.

00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
So especially if you get into a very good delivery position, but then you still struggle

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
with kind of scooping the ball, having a little bit of that chicken wing on the way through,

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
what it usually means is I'm not doing any of this owner deviation.

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
So what we'll do now is we'll hit a couple where we focus on

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I'm basically going to feel this owner deviate, and I'm just going to allow my body to rotate

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
while I'm finishing that move, and you'll see that a checkpoint will basically be in this follow

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
through if the club is slightly below my hands and kind of wide away from me.

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
You can't hit balls this way, but one way to kind of exaggerate that feeling is if I were to

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,000
choke up on the club here, I'm now in that delivery position. If I keep that owner deviation

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
or I fully owner deviate, you'll see that I'll get the club pretty close to my left forearm.

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000
So if you're struggling with getting extension on the way through, it could simply be not having

00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
enough of this owner deviation during the release. And the timing of when that should happen

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,000
is kind of down right around in here is when it starts, and it's basically going to finish

00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
when you're fully extended kind of right somewhere in this zone here, kind of in that follow through.

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
The alternative, again, from the face on view, would be if I get to about here, and I don't

00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
owner deviate, then I have to get the club down to the ground one of these other ways, and I'll tend

00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,000
to release the club more like this, and you can see that that's going to affect the path, the amount

00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
of loft, the low point, the wide point, all the important parameters that we're trying to build with

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000
this good release. So get that early, older deviation, and that'll allow you to get more extension

00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
on the way through.
