00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
It's drill is single arm throws. So similar to the ping-pong paddle or the single arm

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
releases, I think it can be useful to just work on the single arm movements while

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
throwing a wall. So I'll walk you through the two different versions. I would

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
the trail arm, I kind of refer to it as more of a shot put and with the lead arm,

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,000
I kind of refer to it more as a sling or a fling. But if we look at each

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
individual arm and we look at what we're trying to do. With the trail arm or

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
the right arm for right hand and golfer, you're going to want your arm to work

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
kind of across your belly button as it or in the direction of your belly button as

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
it initiates the wipe and then you're going to want to extend the elbow before

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000
you extend the wrist. So it'll end up kind of looking like so and at the very

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
end the weight of the club will cause the wrist or the momentum of the club

00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
and how your body is positioned compared to it will cause the wrist to want to

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,000
flex. But the throw itself or the straight itself is more of like a kind of a

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,000
palm press. So from a face-on camera, it would be almost as if I was trying to do a

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
palm throw at a golf ball somewhere down the target line. Let's say 30 degrees

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
or maybe three feet. So what you're going to do is you're going to take the golf

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
ball and hold it in the center of your palm and grip it with your thumb. So not

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
kind of in the fingers as if I was throwing a ball. If I held it in the fingers,

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
then yes, I'm going to want a ton of this kind of wrist snap at the end. But if I'm

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
holding in the palm, I'm not going to get nearly as much out of the wrist snap. So I'm

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
going to encourage getting more of the force production from the whole arm or

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
from the tricep and the press. So I've got it kind of in my arm like the magic trick

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
and then I'm going to do just a little 9 to 3 where I'm going to throw that ball down

00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
in the general direction of the golf ball. So it'll look kind of like that. So

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
standing here, a little 9 to 3, throw it just down like that. Now what we'll see is

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:16,000
if I were to take the golf club and once I've done that little throw move,

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000
put it in place, this is roughly what it's going to feel like that trail arm is doing

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000
during the release. The reason I will have lost this extension is even though I'm doing this little

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
palm strike maneuver. My body will be bracing and so as that palm strike is happening,

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
now the way to the club is going to cause me to lose it. So if I'm just training that

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
single arm release while doing these throw balls, I should still have a little bit of

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,000
extension in the wrist. Now if I'm doing the lead arm, it's basically going to be I'm going to

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:58,000
hold it the same way and I'm going to sling this out as if I was kind of pointing my thumb

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
down at that golf ball. So it would look more like this. So if I was to put it there,

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000
you would kind of see the inside of the forearm, not throwing like this. So we're allowing some of

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,000
that gentle supination and rotation of the forearm to kind of end the release.

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Once you have kind of a good feeling, you can then put the club in and kind of recreate

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:35,000
either the lead arm or there's that throw or the trail arm and you might become aware of different

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000
kind of feelings or sensations or directions that will then make those single arms easier

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
once you start practicing them in nine to three movements with an actual golf ball.

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
So with that nine to three with the actual golf ball, it'll be very much like that palm strike

00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:02,000
as if I was throwing the ball right down there or with the lead arm would be more of that

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000
kind of sling maneuver with that slight body pivot. Those two combine to create the release

00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
movements that you'll use in your stock full swing, but it's easiest to train in these isolated

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
movements from nine to three.
