00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:01.829
in this insight we're going to take a

00:00:01.829 --> 00:00:04.350
look at Jack Nicholas's release now Jack

00:00:04.350 --> 00:00:07.140
Nicholas described or has a famous quote

00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:09.389
where he says you can't release the club

00:00:09.389 --> 00:00:12.450
too soon in the downswing now if you

00:00:12.450 --> 00:00:14.309
investigate it you'll find the Golf

00:00:14.309 --> 00:00:15.719
Digest article where you said this and

00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:18.270
the second half of that statement is as

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:21.510
long as you get into your left side and

00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:23.189
as long as you're releasing from inside

00:00:23.189 --> 00:00:26.730
the target line so a lot of players will

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.240
interpret this in in different ways

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:31.289
let's take a look from the down the line

00:00:31.289 --> 00:00:34.829
and see what he may mean because I've

00:00:34.829 --> 00:00:36.750
heard people say you should just throw

00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:39.960
your hands from the top and I want you

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.360
to see that if we look at Jack Nicklaus

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:43.890
this transition you can see that there's

00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:47.010
a pretty pronounced shallowing move um

00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:49.170
anyone who has a little bit more of that

00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:52.170
right flying elbow it's going to have to

00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:53.640
have a little bit more of that

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.219
shallowing move in order to get the arms

00:00:56.219 --> 00:00:58.260
or the club between his arms on the

00:00:58.260 --> 00:01:00.660
downswing and he discussed this as one

00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:04.619
of his check points in that article so

00:01:04.619 --> 00:01:08.130
you'll see that most people would

00:01:08.130 --> 00:01:11.549
interpret the release as either rotating

00:01:11.549 --> 00:01:15.090
the arms to the left casting or ulnar

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:18.299
deviating but you'll see that during his

00:01:18.299 --> 00:01:21.450
transition he's not doing any of that so

00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:24.630
the question then becomes well what

00:01:24.630 --> 00:01:27.420
exactly did he mean does he feel it

00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:29.340
earlier than it's actually happening or

00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:33.600
in his mind is this position here over

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:35.340
on the right still pretty close to what

00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:37.470
he determines the top of the swing like

00:01:37.470 --> 00:01:39.060
maybe his brain is not really

00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:42.119
registering that he's started down until

00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:44.369
right about here because you'll see

00:01:44.369 --> 00:01:46.979
through the ball there's a pretty good

00:01:46.979 --> 00:01:49.100
timing and there's a pretty aggressive

00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:52.110
straightening of that right arm as his

00:01:52.110 --> 00:01:54.840
arms extend and he gets into a really

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.280
good bracing position from this target

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.420
line view we can get a really good look

00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:07.860
at what the left arm does so you can see

00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:10.229
that the the wrist of the left hand is

00:02:10.229 --> 00:02:12.950
fairly vertical here

00:02:12.950 --> 00:02:15.890
and you can see the pit of the elbow is

00:02:15.890 --> 00:02:17.569
kind of pointing a little bit more down

00:02:17.569 --> 00:02:20.599
towards the ground and then as you

00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.970
plants that left leg and gets into that

00:02:22.970 --> 00:02:25.370
left side you'll see that left arm

00:02:25.370 --> 00:02:28.819
really start to shallow out and you'll

00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:33.020
see he comes in on a beautiful delivery

00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:34.550
angle gets into a great delivery

00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:37.430
position and then you can you can see

00:02:37.430 --> 00:02:40.760
the timing of when his arms extend now a

00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:43.220
lot of golfers who tend to release early

00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:45.680
or cast or have an upper body dominant

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.720
pattern and tend to extend those arms

00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:51.140
too soon what happens is if they try to

00:02:51.140 --> 00:02:54.200
keep the arms bent it makes it feel very

00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:57.170
athletic what Jack is demonstrating is

00:02:57.170 --> 00:02:58.910
if you look at his pelvis if you look at

00:02:58.910 --> 00:03:00.980
his back you can see that his body is

00:03:00.980 --> 00:03:04.040
just leading his arms until the arms

00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:06.799
kind of get triggered to release by the

00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:09.799
bracing move so if you're struggling

00:03:09.799 --> 00:03:13.040
with your arms getting active too soon

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:16.010
or if you've just misinterpreted Jack's

00:03:16.010 --> 00:03:17.390
quote or if you think you have a

00:03:17.390 --> 00:03:19.940
different interpretation I wanted to

00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:23.660
present a couple good videos on Jack

00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:25.340
where you can see that he's clearly

00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:26.840
demonstrating a lot of the shallow

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.130
movements that we talked about in our

00:03:28.130 --> 00:03:30.290
program and the timing that we discuss

00:03:30.290 --> 00:03:33.290
in the azure loops so if you have any

00:03:33.290 --> 00:03:35.269
questions about this video or any other

00:03:35.269 --> 00:03:37.310
videos on the site please don't hesitate

00:03:37.310 --> 00:03:39.350
to contact us and we will help you clear

00:03:39.350 --> 00:03:41.560
