Wow! Such a great addendum to prior videos and can’t wait for the upcoming release series. As a backhander, I have the extension of the lead arm also and this updated drill with my trail arm under helps me really feel the lead elbow kicking down and under instead of away.
Yeah man!😀👌
Awesome stuff as usual. It’s a complete reprogramming for me and a difficult task at best. Messing around with my “Swing Impact” I realize how terrible my release is. How to I get my swing to produce my click in front of me rather than behind?
Hey Doug! This is a job for the throwing the club task!! See the “throwing series” and the “snap release polish” video to go along with it; you will be throwing the club away from yourself into the direction you want to start the ball and when you don’t let go, the weight of the club will snap the trail hand over the lead hand and back around your neck and head which leads to a big helicopter finish for me (and Bubba, Arnold Palmer, Bernhard Langer and many more!)
Wow…never realized how disconnected I was getting on the follow through. Could be why I never felt like my swing was finished…however this may have revealed another clue to a separate problem.
When I do the drill then go back to both hands on the club with the same feel, I get an irritation at the nail bed of my thumb that is covered up. It feels like the skin is pulling away from the nail bed. Is that a clue that I have a grip problem?
I had that problem a couple years ago and it went away, but this seems to have restarted the issue. Any suggestions?
Yes, definitely an issue! See the original Grip video at the bottom of the list of videos by date. The thumb must allow for a full hinge without feeling a buckle in it and if your thumb is too much on the “short side” you will feel that skin get pried off the nail!
OK… quite a revelation, so my thumb was not really buckled as much as I was getting a tiny bit of slippage down the club on my trail hand as I came through then the prying happened on the rehinge. I found if I really concentrate on resting the club on the thumb/ trigger finger pad on both the back swing and follow through it lessened the effect. I also had to really feel the throw with less effort.
Does this make sense? If so, I guess I’m going to have to practice this until it feels normal because I find looking for that resting feeling in my backswing/rehinge takes me away from task focus…unless in your wisdom you have a better idea? Thanks, Tom
No, this is good! Once you get past this and feel that it will stop injuring your thumb, then it’s full on task focus once again. You are still on task now but being aware that you can accomplish without injury; so very important!
This looks like a fabulous drill. It is so hard for amateurs to know how to let the club release naturally. I have always wanted to steer it through the bottom of the swing. Will be trying this out this week.
Good stuff! 👍😀
Shawn, after this drill I can feel the fluidity of the complete swing, both draw and fade. For me it reinforces all the concepts of effortless swing and it goes “out there”.
Nice addition huh!? 😀👍💪
