00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
This concept video is discussing the low point killer of the arms behind your body.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
When I say your arms behind your body, what I'm referring to is kind of looking at the

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
midline of your chest.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
If we say that the midline of your chest is kind of the middle of your body, then having

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:28,000
your hands or the handle well behind that can make it hard to get the low point forward.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Now, some good players struggle with this.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
They can be a good driver of the golf ball, you can be a pretty good wedge player, but

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
you might struggle with more your mid and scoring irons.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
If you have the club too far behind your body, especially if you're early with your arm

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
timing, so this arm trail arm gets away from you kind of like this.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Essentially, what'll happen is when the arms go like this, that lengthens the club and

00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
moves the low point backward.

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
So now if I did that merry-go-round drill, you could see that the club is going to strike

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
the ground more down here.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
What a lot of golfers do is in order to avoid striking the ground down there, they're

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
going to bend the wrist or throw the club forward.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Then now the club is coming up to avoid hitting the ground behind it.

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
I end up with a lot of fat and thin and oftentimes top shots, like I just hit on that

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
last one.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
So that all stemmed from bringing the arms too far behind my body kind of like this.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
And then having them throw down to the bottom.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
You'll see I was able to make okay contact, but it was still a little bit thin.

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
The one way you can get away with having the arms way behind your body like this would

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
be more if you still keep the extension of that trail wrist and you have a very excessive

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
or aggressive body rotation.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
So the arms almost never feel like they fire.

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
A good example of this would be someone more like a gym furick.

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
But for most golfers who have some arm extension and some feel of a release down at the

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
bottom, less of kind of this hold off feel in the shoulders.

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
If you have some type of release down at the bottom, then getting the arms way behind

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
is going to cause more of this low point issue behind the ball.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So there's a couple different ways you can approach that.

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
You can either look at some of the back swing videos about keeping the arm more in front

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
of your chest or keeping the arm more in front the elbow in front of your pack or the handle

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
more in front of your chest.

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,000
That makes it so that then when I get my chest down to impact, my hands are in front of

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
my sternum and ahead of the golf ball and ahead of this midline or their inline with

00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
the low point line.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
The other option is if I get the arms behind my body in the back swing, then I have to

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
be patient enough and exaggerate the arm component components of the wipe movement.

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:19,000
So if I get the arms behind, but then I let them catch up kind of in this feeling of this

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:27,000
more kind of floating or what I call Zoro loops, feeling the arms work more in a direction

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
ahead of the golf ball kind of out there.

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Can allow them to get a little bit more behind in the back swing and then ahead through

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
impact.

00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Ultimately, the place that really matters is impact and having the hands in front of the

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
chest of the chest is a little bit open is one of the surefire ways or one of the best

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
ways to get low point to be out ahead of the golf ball.

00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000
So if you look at your video and your body is in a reasonable position or even slightly

00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000
ahead, but you're hitting a lot of fat and thin shots, then you want to investigate

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
the arms and look at more of the single arm drills and ways to get more comfortable with

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
the arms being in front of your body.

00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
If you do that, that will have a really big impact for quickly cleaning up your low point

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
issues.
