00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This is the recoil drill.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So the recoil drill is very helpful for training getting out of a flip pattern.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
In a flip pattern, oftentimes golfers have a lot of right arm and right hand action

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
down at the bottom.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Usually going into more of a flexion pattern of the wrist kind of like this, or going

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
into a trail arm internal rotation pattern kind of like that.

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
But it's usually accompanied with a stalling of the body.

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,000
So the recoil drill is training you to use your arms to deliver the club to the golf ball

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
while waiting longer and longer with the wrist.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
You can still use some of the owner deviation to shallow it out, but it definitely prevents

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
you from getting the flip pattern.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
In fact, it's virtually impossible to do the recoil drill correctly if you are flipping.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
So basically what we're going to do for the recoil drill is we're going to put the emphasis

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
on hitting the leading edge against the ground.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So I'll start by putting the club way back in my stance kind of like this.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And then if I was to make contact with the ground, you'll notice that the leading edge

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
hits in the ground and it just kind of digs.

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,000
First I should say, I recommend doing this either in your backyard or somewhere where

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
the greens keeper is not going to get too upset if you're taking some really deep

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
divots.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Because the first few times you do this, you might take some really deep divots.

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So here's the recoil part.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Basically making contact with the ground with the leading edge and then coming right back

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
out of the ground, just like that.

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Now you'll see if I was to do this more with the wrist, the club will continue going

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
through if I have any amount of speed.

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
So I'll back up so we don't ruin kind of the hitting area there.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
But if I try to get that leading edge to hit, but then I add some right arm, you'll see

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
that it tends to go through.

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Instead of hitting more the leading edge just like this.

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Now if I want to combo and work this into a little bit better low point position by using

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
the wipe, now I'm going to try to get the leading edge and the recoil to happen ahead of

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
the middle of my stance.

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000
So I'm going to get set up and now I'm going to try and get my hands way ahead and get

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,000
that recoil to happen well ahead of the middle of my stance.

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
The further forward I can go, the more that I'm getting a combination of the wipe and

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
not losing that trail wrist extension.

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
So once I have a decent pattern of hitting the ground, I can try to do this with the golf ball.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Once I get the pattern of doing it with the golf ball, I'm going to try to add some

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,000
speed and feel like the body causes me to go past that recoil point instead of stopping

00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
right there.

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:06,000
So this is a pretty powerful drill for some golfers who have really ingrained trail wrist

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
flip pattern.

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Okay, so now we'll try one of those little recoil, it's got the ball just slightly ahead

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
of maybe middle of my stance.

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
I'm going to try it wherever I have it.

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
I was kind of forgot what I was doing there for a second.

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
It was solid strike, but it wasn't the true recoil.

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,000
So for the true recoil, I'm going to have to exaggerate getting the hands ahead so that

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
when I hit the golf or when I strike the ground with the leading edge pretty hard, I'm

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
going to be able to recoil out of it.

00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Now you'll notice between those two what I did in order to hit the ground with that recoil

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
drill a little bit harder was I had to do more of the wipe, I had to get my hands

00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000
well ahead and then when I release the club down you'll notice I did it more with the arm

00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
and less with the wrist.

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Once I have that feeling in my mind, now I can try to add a little bit of speed and

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,000
bracing and what'll happen is when I put in some speed and some bracing, now even when

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
I'm trying to hit that recoil it's going to be shallowed out by that bracing movement

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
which is going to cause the club to just slide through the ground or just slice through

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
the ground instead of digging into it and stopping it.

00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So now with a little bit more speed you'll see that even though I'm attempting to create

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
recoil on that one I didn't even make contact with the ground because of the position

00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:43,000
of my body or the movement of my body through impact.

00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
So this will help you with your early release of your trail right hand or losing that

00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
extension what some people call the flying wedge in that trail wrist.
