Scott's a video is the seated finesse wedge release.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:17,000
So I have a video where we go through the seated release where basically we're looking at the release compared to the chest.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
And we're going to do a similar idea here for the finesse wedge shot.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Because I find that a lot of golfers struggle with kind of throwing the club past their body and if they understood where we're trying to get to then perhaps they wouldn't do that.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So with the seated wedge release, what I want you to do is you're going to take your hands and place them out in front of you just like this.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
And then what I want you to do is in your mind I want you to make a golf swing without letting your chest or your body turn.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
So you're going to make a golf swing and just show what your arms do.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
And I'm not going to do it yet.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Give you a few seconds.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
All right.

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,000
So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through where I want your arms to go during the finesse wedge release.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So here we are at the start of the swing.

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
So we're kind of right around here maybe a little bit more on your deviation.

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
And then as I go back, the club is basically going to stay a little bit in front of me.

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
I'll come back a little bit but I'm going to exaggerate it for the purpose of this video.

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
I'm going to point the club slightly ahead of my body.

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So I'm going to point the club slightly over here.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
And now during the downswing, I'm going to let this arm supinate.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Let this arm rotate a little bit.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Let this owner deviate.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
And so it's going to point basically even with my knee down around there.

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
So I'm going to go this way.

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Now some of you are probably scratching your head.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And I will say that this works really well for some very feel dominant golfers.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
But it might not resonate with you.

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
We've got other videos that kind of work more on rhythm and things like that.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So the reason I say that is as you notice, basically during the downswing,

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
my arms are actually taking the club away from the target.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
If you just broke down what the arms are doing.

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
So if I now combo that, if I was basically here at the top of the swing,

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
I'm going to go to there during the downswing.

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Just down kind of like this.

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So now if I broke that down at the same time,

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
so here we go to the top of the swing,

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
you can see that the club is pretty much still out in front of my chest.

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
So that would look kind of like this.

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
So I'm exaggerating it for the purpose of this drill,

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
but it would look something like this.

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
And then as I start down, I do that older deviation,

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
and the club will drop a little bit kind of like this.

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
That drop movement is going to happen from a little bit of this rotation

00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
and a little bit of older deviation.

00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000
So if I do that, it would look like this if my body didn't move the club at the same time.

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
But now that my body moves the club at the same time,

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
it just looks like it shallows on plane kind of like this.

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
So that throwing motion that a lot of golfers describe

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
and that I talk about is actually kind of going more down this way.

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
It's more of an unhinged than a throwing past your body.

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
So I've heard other instructors talk about it being more of a vertical drop

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
or releasing the club back that way.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Those are all different ideas for this concept of the seated release.

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
So once you have that kind of feel,

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
or sorry, once you have that idea,

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
then you can try and isolate,

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
taking some short little shots where it feels like it's going from

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
about chest height to down behind you at your knees,

00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
that will require that your body brings you through.

00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
And when you brings you through,

00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
you'll notice that the club stays just a little bit outside

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
just behind my chest kind of like this,

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
where a lot of golfers struggle is they get the club flipping past.

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
That would basically, if I was doing a seated release

00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
and I was going up in a cross kind of like this,

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
applying all the force from the shoulder.

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
So this will really help quiet the look of your arms on the way,

00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
on the downswing.

00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
If you tend to have a look of really handy, scoopy arm action,

00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
this visual when you figure it out,

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
sometimes really help quiet and sync up the arm shallowing of the

00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
finesse wedge with the body pivot to create.

00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
This really good feeling of coasting on the way through

00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
and getting really good bounce up.

00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:53,000
