This drill video is the trail arm body sink. Um,

1
00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:12.400
so this is one of the few one arm drills where I focus on a bigger swing.

2
00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:16.360
I'm not doing the one arm drill for working on the arm and the wrist mechanic,

3
00:00:16.420 --> 00:00:19.880
so I'm not really just focusing on the nine to three. This is a one arm drill.

4
00:00:19.930 --> 00:00:24.600
We're gonna focus more on the top of the swing in transition and blending how

5
00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:29.280
the arm and the body works together. Um, a lot of golfers struggle with,

6
00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:31.640
uh, stopping the body too soon,

7
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:36.360
lifting the arms up and then powering the swing by pulling the arms down using

8
00:00:36.430 --> 00:00:40.960
more of a tricep pole or a lat pole, um, but a big arm pole.

9
00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:44.000
Um, so this, this drill, uh,

10
00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:49.000
the trail arm body sink is designed to synchronize the body and the

11
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.520
arm working together. So before we do it with a club, we're gonna do it, uh,

12
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.040
with a classic, uh, toss of the ball. Now when you do the tossing of the ball,

13
00:00:57.310 --> 00:00:59.040
your goal is to throw it with your body.

14
00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:01.960
So your goal is that your arm is just a prosthetic.

15
00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:06.200
It's gonna hold onto the ball in kind of shot, put position just like this,

16
00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:10.040
and I'm gonna keep the arm in front of my, in front of my body.

17
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.400
So you'll see as I turn, it stays in front of my chest.

18
00:01:13.660 --> 00:01:16.880
My hand is in front of my chest. It's not coming back like this.

19
00:01:17.270 --> 00:01:19.680
This would not work. I can't get my left arm to reach.

20
00:01:20.020 --> 00:01:23.000
So it would typically have to get there if I was actually make this movement.

21
00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:28.040
So keeping the arm in front of my chest, I'm gonna make a backswing,

22
00:01:28.180 --> 00:01:30.800
and then I'm gonna make a through swing and I'm just letting go

23
00:01:33.870 --> 00:01:37.160
like this. So there's this just nice little shot put feel.

24
00:01:37.270 --> 00:01:41.560
This is not designed to be more like that, where I threw it with my wrist.

25
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.160
I threw that one more powerfully,

26
00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:46.880
but I also did it to the exclusion of using the body. Um,

27
00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:51.200
and the goal of this is to synchronize and get more of the hit happening from

28
00:01:51.230 --> 00:01:53.120
body and less of it happening from the arm.

29
00:01:53.420 --> 00:01:56.960
So one more good one where I'm gonna feel the body and the arm going through

30
00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:01.360
together. Now, the, when we put the club in place,

31
00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:05.640
there's typically two places where you're gonna feel this, um,

32
00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:10.640
dramatically different. One is the top of the swing, two is transition. Um,

33
00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:13.200
and a third one, it might be a little bit during the release,

34
00:02:13.220 --> 00:02:16.360
but the two places where it, uh, typically, um,

35
00:02:16.530 --> 00:02:19.840
feels different is for the top of the swing. If you really need this one,

36
00:02:20.070 --> 00:02:24.560
then you're used to kind of this pattern here where the body stopped the arms

37
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.640
lift and then they kind of pulled down and got into that really narrow position.

38
00:02:28.350 --> 00:02:32.120
Well, if I do what I just did, uh, with the ball,

39
00:02:32.540 --> 00:02:34.680
so if I keep this in front of me, um,

40
00:02:34.890 --> 00:02:36.840
we're not gonna worry too much about contact.

41
00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:42.440
But also see that contact's typically not that bad

42
00:02:43.150 --> 00:02:44.320
once you figure it out

43
00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:52.290
Because the arm staying straight and in front allows

44
00:02:53.110 --> 00:02:56.410
the, a pretty consistent control of the radius.

45
00:02:56.710 --> 00:02:58.730
And I'm not really moving my hand around that much.

46
00:02:58.790 --> 00:03:03.400
So the club face isn't gonna change very much. You can see I'm hitting some of,

47
00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:06.800
uh, some of these thin, I'm kind of picking it a little bit. Um,

48
00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:11.120
but what I'm feeling is at the top of the swing,

49
00:03:12.190 --> 00:03:14.120
that was a pretty good one at the top of the swing,

50
00:03:14.140 --> 00:03:16.280
the arm feels like it's more in front now.

51
00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:20.840
So this kind of blends with the trail arm in front of Peck idea.

52
00:03:21.300 --> 00:03:23.040
So now I'm gonna do what I just did,

53
00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:27.240
but I'm gonna stop at the top of the swing and I'm gonna reach and put the left

54
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.480
hand, uh, on it. Now, if you are used to not turning,

55
00:03:31.790 --> 00:03:34.960
this is gonna feel like your, your back is facing the target.

56
00:03:35.030 --> 00:03:39.440
This is gonna feel like you've made a much bigger, um, shoulder turn.

57
00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:44.400
So hopefully you can do this without swaying and without lifting up or losing

58
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:45.560
your posture. Um,

59
00:03:45.660 --> 00:03:49.920
but this becomes a nice little checkpoint for where I want to get to.

60
00:03:50.220 --> 00:03:55.000
And then from here, I'm just going to turn my body. It can become kind of a,

61
00:03:55.480 --> 00:03:59.720
a isolated drill or a hit from the top type drill where I'm gonna get up here,

62
00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:04.800
stop, put my hand on, Kinda like that.

63
00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:08.280
So this will help you feel wider at the top,

64
00:04:08.370 --> 00:04:11.760
which will require you to feel more body rotation there in transition.

65
00:04:11.950 --> 00:04:14.720
Once you've done a few of these kind of stop drills,

66
00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:18.280
then you can try to add more of a dynamic feel, um,

67
00:04:18.650 --> 00:04:22.080
where you're gonna feel like you, uh, make the backswing,

68
00:04:22.380 --> 00:04:26.240
but the transition's gonna feel like wider and typically slower,

69
00:04:26.390 --> 00:04:30.000
more powered from the body. Less of a violent pull down from the arms.

70
00:04:30.260 --> 00:04:33.520
So if we walk through the quick demo, it would basically be arm in front,

71
00:04:33.570 --> 00:04:36.920
throw a ball, that's kind of stage one,

72
00:04:37.930 --> 00:04:41.200
swing the club in front, stage two,

73
00:04:42.530 --> 00:04:44.600
swing the club back to the top,

74
00:04:44.820 --> 00:04:47.600
put the other hand on stage three.

75
00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:53.520
And then stage four would be feeling like I get back to there

76
00:04:55.740 --> 00:05:00.040
and just turn through. So it's gonna feel wider, more body driven,

77
00:05:00.630 --> 00:05:02.080
less lift and pull.
