The drill is pin the lead shoulder. So this

1
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:11.100
is a release drill for helping golfers who

2
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:14.800
get really dominant with that left arm pull. This can

3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.300
be useful for golfers who have a chicken wing

4
00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:20.400
or for golfers who have a really kind

5
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.000
of level shoulder plane on the way through you can

6
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.600
have kind of this. Look where the arms locally. They're

7
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.700
rotating more around your body. All those patterns tend

8
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:32.100
to share in common that the lead arm is

9
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.300
kind of pulling back. Well before impact we're

10
00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:38.300
too soon. So we're gonna use a visual kind

11
00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:41.200
of a spatial awareness thing and we're gonna try and feel like

12
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.300
we pin the left shoulder in place. So,

13
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:47.200
What we're going to do during the demo, I'll use

14
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.000
a foam noodle, but it blocks the the camera a little

15
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.200
bit. So we'll just talk through it.

16
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.900
First in this little description. So we're gonna make a kind

17
00:00:55.900 --> 00:00:58.600
of a 10 clock backswing and as I come down to delivery

18
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.800
position. I'm now going to try and keep

19
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:04.100
this shoulder as close to

20
00:01:04.100 --> 00:01:07.200
inline with the target line. So close to the

21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.500
golf ball there as my body continues to

22
00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:13.300
rotate now. I don't want the right side

23
00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:16.800
to leave behind. So the right side is gonna feel like it works underneath.

24
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:20.300
This is very similar to kind

25
00:01:19.300 --> 00:01:23.400
of the sidearm throw or this kind

26
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.800
of supported release station. In fact,

27
00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:28.300
I like to have golfers who can do

28
00:01:28.300 --> 00:01:31.600
single arm releases to add this to a single arm

29
00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:34.200
release feel or a trail arm

30
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:34.700
release feel.

31
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.500
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to feel like that left shoulder

32
00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:41.400
stays there as my body rotates and as the right

33
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.500
side kind of comes through and it's gonna

34
00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:47.100
give me this feel of the back saying to the

35
00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:50.500
Target longer or not spinning from the shoulders rather

36
00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:54.300
getting more of the rotation or spin from the core. So we're

37
00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:56.700
gonna feel we get into that delivery position

38
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.500
and then the shoulder stays close

39
00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:02.400
to the camera as we come down and through

40
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.600
so we'll do one real quick.

41
00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:09.600
Kind of like that where it feels like there's this buildup and then it doesn't

42
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:12.400
come through until as the club is

43
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.200
coming through impact. It's definitely more of a feeling. If you look on

44
00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:18.400
video it will come through but what it won't look

45
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.500
like is more of this pattern

46
00:02:21.500 --> 00:02:24.700
where golfers tend to have more of the shoulder

47
00:02:24.700 --> 00:02:27.300
kind of pulling early. So if

48
00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:30.200
we put those side by side and we look at it we can kind

49
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:33.700
of see that second one that shoulder is pulling hard from

50
00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:36.200
right around here. Where in that first one

51
00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:39.500
the shoulder doesn't really start pulling until the club is

52
00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:42.300
well past the golf ball or into that

53
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:43.100
widest point.

54
00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:47.400
So we'll go through a demo where I'll put how I normally do

55
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.400
it. We'll do two different versions. That's

56
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.900
Trail arm drill as well as the pool noodle

57
00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:56.500
version. Okay. So first version with the

58
00:02:56.500 --> 00:02:59.600
pool noodle, I like to create something. I'm usually staining there

59
00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:03.100
holding it. But if you're doing at home, you can use a trusty tripod.

60
00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:05.400
And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna put

61
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.200
it so that it's in the field of view very

62
00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:11.400
close to inline with that shoulder. So now I'm gonna feel

63
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.700
like I get that shoulder as far

64
00:03:14.700 --> 00:03:17.200
as it will be somewhere around here in the delivery

65
00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:20.700
position. And now I'm gonna continue rotating and

66
00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:23.600
I'm gonna try to exaggerate the shoulder staying

67
00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:26.700
that way as that right side is coming through now,

68
00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:29.100
you'll see eventually I get to a point where the tension of

69
00:03:29.100 --> 00:03:32.900
my body turning is pulling that shoulder around but I'm not retracting

70
00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:36.100
or pulling that shoulder in order to do it. So I'm

71
00:03:35.100 --> 00:03:37.600
going to do it as a little bit of a pump.

72
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:40.600
We're going to feel like that shoulder kind of stays there.

73
00:03:42.100 --> 00:03:46.300
All the way through and it's really gonna have a feel of the

74
00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:48.600
back thing to the Target longer. So

75
00:03:48.600 --> 00:03:51.900
I might want to use video to kind of confirm and look

76
00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:54.700
out for two major issues one would be I still

77
00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:58.200
keep my lower body behind. So issue

78
00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:00.700
number one would be everything stays behind and it

79
00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:03.400
kind of looks like this. I'll I'll tend to get more fat shots.

80
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.400
And the other problem to look

81
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.100
out for is in an attempt to keep

82
00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:13.100
the shoulder there. You'll go into right side Bend, you know

83
00:04:13.100 --> 00:04:17.000
get a lot of access tool. So I

84
00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:19.200
want that left shoulder to still get in

85
00:04:19.200 --> 00:04:22.200
line get over that front foot or get

86
00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:25.500
into that. Good impact Line. It's gonna feel like it stays.

87
00:04:27.900 --> 00:04:30.500
Closer to this longer and then

88
00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:34.100
that right side is kind of working through. So this

89
00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:36.200
works well for a visual this is more of kind

90
00:04:36.200 --> 00:04:40.000
of playing you can do this with Force Fuller swings

91
00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:42.100
to really exaggerate the feel.

92
00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:46.900
I like to do a single arm Trail arm

93
00:04:46.900 --> 00:04:47.400
release.

94
00:04:48.700 --> 00:04:51.700
So now this will help me

95
00:04:51.700 --> 00:04:54.200
feel if that left arm is pulling

96
00:04:54.200 --> 00:04:57.700
my goal here is to keep that shaft vertical and

97
00:04:57.700 --> 00:05:00.800
to actually rotate my hip and

98
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.100
my shoulder kind of away from each other.

99
00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:07.900
So the left shoulder feels like it's going towards the camera as the left hip

100
00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:09.900
feels like it's going back towards the road.

101
00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:12.700
all the while

102
00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:17.200
That right arm is coming through now the most

103
00:05:17.200 --> 00:05:20.200
common issue I see here as you can imagine is a

104
00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:23.400
lot of golfers will just kind of stop and just throw the

105
00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:26.300
arm. So it will finish with the Palm facing up.

106
00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:29.500
I still want to finish in a really good trail arm

107
00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:32.600
release position. So I want to finish with

108
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.200
more of a stop sign or more of

109
00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:38.700
that palm palm strike feel Palm facing away. So we'll

110
00:05:38.700 --> 00:05:39.900
do one really good one here.

111
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.200
Kind of like that. And now if I were to let go

112
00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:47.400
of my support and put that arm to me it might

113
00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:51.100
feel like this left arm is a little bit more around and

114
00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:53.500
in front or my body is turned through

115
00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:56.400
my arm so we can use either

116
00:05:56.400 --> 00:05:59.300
of these to get feels for the left side. If

117
00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:02.500
I have a really strong pull of that left shoulder through

118
00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:06.200
the release that can cause pulls and hooks low

119
00:06:05.200 --> 00:06:08.500
Point issues toe contact

120
00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:11.600
all kinds of release problems.

121
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.300
So I highly recommend adding this to

122
00:06:14.300 --> 00:06:17.400
your release protocols. If you're struggling with getting into

123
00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:20.500
a good follow-through position because of too much lead arm pull. So now

124
00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:20.800
let's

125
00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:22.600
throw in a good one.

126
00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:26.000
Where we feel like it stays more closed.

127
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:29.400
Kind of like that.
