00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
This drill is trail arm stop sign. So I've got the disk catcher out in this time of just

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
taped a foam noodle to it so we can kind of have a better idea of exactly where it's

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:19,000
pointing. What I tend to see that a lot of golfers have a scoop or an early release

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
down at the bottom and what I've found over the last few years is that it tends to

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
be more of the trail arm. So right arm for a right hand and golfer that creates

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
that problem. And so just trying to motorcycle and get a flat-ish left wrist at

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
impact doesn't always fix the problem because then the right arm sabotages it.

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
So if you have that scoop and or early release you either have to train more

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
control with the left arm so the right arm doesn't mess it up or you need to

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
train that right arm to work properly because as long as the right arm is

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
sabotaging your efforts you're going to struggle with the early release or

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
scoop mispattern which is typically fat and thin contact and more of a pull

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,000
start line or potentially leaving the face open. So the pull comes more from the

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
path getting left from that early release of the right side or you can leave the

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
face open and hit more of a weak push off to the right. So pull, push fades, fat

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
thin. If you struggle with that there's a good chance you've got some right arm

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
training or trail arm training that would help. So the trail wrist stop sign is

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
basically it's very similar to the finger release but I'm going to use I'm going

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
to put more of the emphasis after impact instead of right at impact. So with the

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:50,000
finger release I focus on keeping the extension of that right arm or the right

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
wrist as I go into impact and just beyond. So basically seeing how the fingers are

00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
pointing behind. The stop sign is focusing mostly on the rotation of the forearm

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
while still keeping that extension. What I find that a lot of golfers do trying to

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
break the habit of an early release is they try to keep the extension of the

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000
wrist but the direction that they're using the wrist is more going under like this

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
and trying to keep the extension pointed at the target like that as opposed to

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:28,000
letting it rotate. What that looks like is when I put a club in my hands is if I

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
keep the extension and go more under it like this you can see that the club starts

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000
coming up very quickly and the bottom of the arc is behind the golf wall. So even

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
though my practice wing I have a good amount of extension there when I apply speed it's

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
going to bottom out behind the ball and have more of a fat thin contact pattern to it.

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
In order to get the bottom this wing forward I need to work on this lead wrist stop sign

00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:01,000
pattern or sorry the trail wrist stop sign pattern. So I'm going to get more of that

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
rotation feeling like that right wrist is covering and it's almost pointing at the target

00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
in a stop sign movement kind of like that similar to the shake hands with the target line

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
but exaggerating it a little bit more. Now I'm making sure that I'm not getting it from

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,000
the shoulder so I'm not turning my hand and letting this arm fly away. I'm reaching

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,000
out towards the target but through kind of the inside of the shoulder blade. Once you have that feeling

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:40,000
you can do either single arm training or 9 to 3 or 3 quarter or full swings.

00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,000
So with the single arm training I'm going to try to get that feeling of more

00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:00,000
that right arm extending through but that wrist rotating through more like that. So keeping the extension

00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
as it rotates through and what you'll see is from the face on video that'll have a look like it

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
has really good extension and width on the follow through as opposed to if I tried to

00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
extend the wrist but was still coming more up. So if I tried to keep the extension of the wrist

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
really holding back the flip but I was working more up you could see that it's going to be virtually

00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000
impossible to be strong enough to resist that movement and even if I did the bottom of the swing

00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000
is still going to be behind the golf wall because of the direction that my arm or my hand path is

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:43,000
swinging. So let's do another good one where we're going to get that stop feeling more in that follow

00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000
through so I'm getting really good arm extension and I'm feeling like that hand rotates over more like that.

00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Next I'm going to try it in more of a nine to three version so I'm going to bring it and I'm just

00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:05,000
going to allow the left hand to support that movement of the right hand. You'll see as I do this

00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,000
I'm attending to have a little bit more of a lower launch than if I had more of a scoot pattern.

00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
That's a good sign that I'm doing that trail risk properly. I'll be able to get the launch back

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,000
when I take bigger swings and add more of a bracing component. So now we'll move it up to about three

00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:32,000
quarter. So a little late on that one but what you'll see from the video is that I still got the

00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
bottom of the swing forward hit the ball pretty solidly just didn't quite get the face closed so

00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
flared it a little bit off to the right. Now we'll go close to full swing and I'm still trying to

00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,000
feel that arm extension keeping the wrist hinge and letting that right arm rotate after impact

00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000
so that it feels like my palm is facing more towards the target. It's a similar to a lot of the

00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000
other trail arm release drills or hinge and hold kind of nine to three feelings where I'm keeping

00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,000
that extension and instead of just trying to hold back the flip I'm redirecting it with more of a

00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:19,000
rotational movement. So pretty solid one there getting that good arm extension in the

00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,000
follow-through. If you struggle with more of a trail arm scoop or early release you can use the

00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
disk catcher you can use the finger release or you can use this idea of more of the trail

00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:38,000
arms stop sign in order to ultimately solve that right arm problem down at the bottom.

00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
you
