00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
In this drill circuit video, we're going to focus on the release.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So we're going to pick a handful of the release drills that I want to practice right now.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
And we're going to build them into a little drill circuit to work on each piece.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
So first thing we're going to do is we're going to do, or I guess,

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
the exercises or the drills that we're going to do in this little video are going to be

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
the ping pong paddle releases.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Then we're going to do the left arm only.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The right hand open, the palm strike, and then the pelvic punch.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
So we'll start with the ping pong paddle.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So I'm going to go through the right hand, the left hand, focusing on the key pieces for me

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
from those different drill videos.

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
So the right hand, I'm going to focus on keeping that cut, get it past the golf ball,

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
keeping that cut.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
As my hands move in, past my body.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
This is still pointing. My hands are still out there. I haven't completely flipped it.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So we're going here.

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Good.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Okay.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Got a feeling of where I want to go with those.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So next one we're going to do is the left hand only.

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So now I'm going to imagine, I'm just holding that ping pong paddle, and we're going to try

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
and go through those spaces, just like so, getting a feeling of where I want the club to go.

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
It's the most important part of the release.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So then the next one is going to be the open right hand.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So I'm going to have my left hand control this as the right hand just helps apply force a little bit.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Good. So I got a good feeling of that.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Next one is the shaft press or the palm strike.

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
So we're going to get to impact position from here.

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
I'm going to bring my right arm back to delivery position, and I'm just going to practice to get an idea.

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Okay. That's not quite right.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
So I'm going to come back to impact.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
There we go.

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,000
So I got a feeling of the direction that that right arm will be going with the ping pong paddle.

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Now I'm going to do the pelvic punch, which is a version of the 93, where I stop at waist height.

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
It just forces me to focus on my body positions a little bit better, and forces me to

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:25,000
focus on the stabilization of the lower body through the shot, because if I were to stand up and have my body

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
it lose all of its angles. It becomes very hard for me to hit this shot solidly.

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:37,000
So the pelvic punch, we're going to go to waist height.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000
And then from here, we're going to try to get back into that palm strike position and finish our release.

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
So we're going to pelvic punch, kind of like so.

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
So that's given me an idea of this feeling of the release.

00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:01,000
And then if I wanted to, I could hit a full shot or take it just in the 93 level,

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
and then bring it back and go through the circuit again.
