00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Stirl is arm shallowing with the extender.

00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,000
So I've got my swing extender, but you can just take

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
an alignment stick and hold it just underneath the grip,

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
so it extends about a foot or so.

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The challenge with the extender drills is you can't really do swings

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
where you go past about waist height in the falter,

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
because eventually the club would pass and you're going to hit yourself,

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
and it's either going to break it or at least disrupt the learning process.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So what we're going to do with the shallowing with the extender

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
is we're going to focus on transition.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
So what can often happen is during transition,

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
many golfers will rotate either the trail shoulder or the lead forearm

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
and get the club working more vertically.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
So now because of the extender, I can see that that's pointing more in line with my feet.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
You can see that's a very vertical position.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
If I got here, one of the few ways that I would be able to then hit a golf flow

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
would be to then stand up and kind of shallow it out very late.

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
But that's going to tend to cause some contact issues.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So what I would prefer is during transition,

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
I'm going to shallow the club or get the butt end of the extender

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
pointed out towards the target line.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
So now I've got the butt end of the club pointed out towards the target line.

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Now I can work on my release movements on the way through.

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So you can actually hit little shots or slow motion,

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000
kind of tai chi style swings, but you won't be able to follow through past

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
about waist height in the falter.

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Now one of the ways that you can see from the face on view

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
is if you're using a mirror or something like that,

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
if the steeper you get it, typically the higher the clubhead is going to look,

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
the shallow where you get it, the more the clubhead is going to look low compared to the hands.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So if you go up towards the top of the swing in your shallow,

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
you'll see that the clubhead and your hands are about the same height,

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
where if you steep in the clubhead will be drastically higher than the hands.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It's kind of a lines with these horizontal swings where the clubhead and the hands are about the same height.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And then working on feeling that shallow movement here with a little bit of visual guidance,

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
can really help you kind of overcome an overall tendency to get really steep in transition,

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
especially if you're a visual learner.
