00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Strayl is the yo-yo release.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
So the yo-yo release fits in the trail arm release pattern.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
So the yo-yo release is trying to emphasize more the orientation of where the palm is facing

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
an impact.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
A lot of golfers who have poor release patterns go into more of excessive internal rotation

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
of the trail arm kind of like this.

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So the elbow gets behind and the palm starts facing down and in, if I was to exaggerate

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
that pattern, even if I tried to kind of force it or fight it, it will have more of this

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
feeling of the palm facing in.

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So the yo-yo release is basically with your arm in front kind of in delivery position

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
or in that break-dance or shot-point position.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I'm going to...

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Yes.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Now, it feels a little bit like unwinding just like you were doing a yo-yo movement.

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
But in the real swing, it wouldn't just be straight out like this.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
It would kind of be going across your body kind of like this and it wouldn't truly

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
finish straight out.

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
It would have just a little bit of this unhinged or supination.

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
So it would go kind of out like this.

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000
So now, if you're doing this as a part of a pattern, I would work specifically in the

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
93s.

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
This is a harder one to do in full swings.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
You can get there, but when you're initially trying it, we're going to do single arm,

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
we're going to bring it out.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
And basically, I'm going to feel like it stays pointing.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
My palm stays pointing away from my belly button or facing the camera.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And I'm going to try to use the body rotation to bring this through and basically stop

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
in that position there.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:58,000
So as a single arm, it's going to feel like a very kind of passive arm or it's going

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
to feel like this forearm kind of stays pointing more up or the shoulder stays more

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
pointing up.

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
It could also feel like the elbow stays more in.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So we'll do that again.

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
So from here, it's going to basically rotate like that.

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Now with that rotation, now that creates a bunch of shaft lean as well as keeping the palm

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
facing away from me instead of it facing towards.

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
So when you do this normally, you do more of that pattern.

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Yes, I can create more speed with my arm that way and I can hit it farther.

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,000
But you'll notice from the video, if we compare those two, you will see that I had a lot

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
less shaft lean and it would be much tougher for me to control the club face.

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
I hit that 30 degrees or 20 degrees to the left or so.

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
So let's do one more good one with just the trail arm where I'm going to bring it back

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
and then I'm going to feel like the palm is facing away from me kind of like this as

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
I turn through.

00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Just like I was using a yo-yo.

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
So I'm getting some extra arm extension as the palm is facing away kind of like that.

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Now it'll be a lot easier when I add the trail arm for support.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
So now if I do that same movement, it's going to point away kind of like this and then

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
when I rotate, I'll be able to get my hands well ahead of the golf ball as I'm making

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
contact.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And because I haven't really hit this hard, I'm able to stop in that kind of hinge and

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000
hold type position or I'm able to stop before the club would release past the follow

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
through.

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
And that's because I'm trying to stop before the club gets past the follow through.

00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
That's why it's harder to do on a full swing.

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:58,000
You can potentially do it on kind of more of a almost decelerating 10 to 2 where it's more

00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
of kind of a hit and stop.

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
But I see the most benefit in doing this in more of a release drill or more of a 9 to 3.

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
So if you struggle with the arm getting more back like this, channel your inner dentists

00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
the menace and get a little yo-yo action where the palm is facing more out and then

00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000
figure out how to time that with body rotation to get the shaft lean and solid contact.

00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000
That can really help clean up if you have more of a trail arm throw because there's

00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
a lot of toe shots, a lot of poles and a lot of pull hooks off the tee.
