00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.600
Hey guys, Rotary Swing Instructor Chris
2
00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.080
Tyler here, and this week we are going to
3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.219
be breaking down the lag monster himself,
4
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:09.679
Mr. Sergio Garcia. We are going to be
5
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:11.660
talking about some of the key areas that
6
00:00:11.660 --> 00:00:13.859
he focuses on in order to build this
7
00:00:13.859 --> 00:00:15.900
massive amount of lag into his golf
8
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:17.660
swing, And we're also going to be
9
00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:19.300
discussing one of the most overlooked
10
00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:21.460
features of the golf swing that Sergio
11
00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:24.019
does so well in order to keep his golf
12
00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:25.780
ball on the golf course. So you want to
13
00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:28.100
stick around, learn how to not only build
14
00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.339
club head speed, but also learn how to
15
00:00:30.339 --> 00:00:32.219
control and keep your golf ball in play.
16
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.100
Okay everyone, Those of you that got to
17
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:42.920
watch golf this past weekend would see.
18
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.039
Sergio Garcia jump back into the winner's
19
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.420
circle in stylish fashion with a four
20
00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:49.439
shot victory over Henrik Stenson, so
21
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.380
congratulations to Sergio Garcia for
22
00:00:51.380 --> 00:00:53.219
getting back on top with a big win out in
23
00:00:53.219 --> 00:00:53.460
Thailand.
24
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.140
Also done with his girlfriend on the bag
25
00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:59.060
this week. I know a lot of you were
26
00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:00.380
probably hoping that I would have done a
27
00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:02.079
review on how good she carries his golf
28
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.200
bag, but I can assure you as pretty as
29
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.700
she is, we are not going to be focusing
30
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.719
on her bag carrying skills.
31
00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:10.379
I do want to focus on a couple of big
32
00:01:10.379 --> 00:01:12.239
areas that Sergio does really well in his
33
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.079
golf swing, and notably Sergio is one of
34
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:16.719
those guys that lags the golf club
35
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.760
probably more than anybody on tour, and
36
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.780
he is known for his monstrous amounts of
37
00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:25.480
lag and club head speed in such a small
38
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:26.000
frame.
39
00:01:26.579 --> 00:01:30.379
So we are, For those guys that are lag
40
00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:32.340
heads and lag monsters out there that
41
00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:34.120
want to try to build as much lag into
42
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:35.500
their golf swing, I am going to touch
43
00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:37.400
base with those areas, but I also am
44
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.439
going to put a lot of emphasis on the
45
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.700
release of the golf club, because I think
46
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:43.500
that's one of the most key areas that's
47
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:46.319
overlooked is the release. We can build
48
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:47.939
as much lag as you want into your golf
49
00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:49.260
swing, But if you don't know how to
50
00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:51.040
control that club head speed, and you
51
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.519
don't know how to control the club face,
52
00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:53.780
then you are not going to be able to keep
53
00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:55.840
it on the golf course. So we are going to
54
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.819
be discussing a lot of the other areas
55
00:01:57.819 --> 00:01:59.200
that are going to help you control the
56
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.340
club. Face and point you in the direction
57
00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:03.019
of some videos. That can help you
58
00:02:03.019 --> 00:02:07.340
maintain lag and also be able to keep the
59
00:02:07.340 --> 00:02:08.759
ball on the golf course. So that's a big
60
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:10.479
disclaimer in the front of this. I do
61
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:11.699
want you guys to know that obviously
62
00:02:11.699 --> 00:02:13.439
Sergio is noted for that lag. We are
63
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:14.520
going to talk about some of the key
64
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:15.800
points, But we are also going to really
65
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.419
put a lot of emphasis on the idea that
66
00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:18.639
you need to be able to control the club.
67
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.919
Face. From the lag position into impact
68
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.979
and then into the finish position.
69
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.319
All right, So I do want to let you guys
70
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:28.659
know that we are using the new Swing
71
00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:30.740
Viewer again this week for the analysis
72
00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:33.319
on Sergio, and this is a great tool for
73
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:34.379
you guys all to use.
74
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.840
It's available. You can put load tour
75
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.620
style golf swings like I've got in here
76
00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:40.300
now, or you can load your own golf swing,
77
00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:43.199
and you can draw lines. You can put any
78
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.460
kind of swing analysis together for
79
00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:47.080
yourself, and this is a good feature for
80
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.699
you guys to use. All right, so a couple
81
00:02:49.699 --> 00:02:51.539
of big areas that Sergio does really well
82
00:02:51.539 --> 00:02:53.120
in order to create the lag that he does.
83
00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:54.900
We're going to talk about some of the
84
00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:57.360
stuff that he's openly said that he
85
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.219
focuses on in order to build that lag.
86
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.639
And that lag, he has also said, is not
87
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.460
something that you can teach. So I don't
88
00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:05.659
want you all running out there trying to
89
00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:09.379
incorporate Sergio Garcia style lag in
90
00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:10.620
your swing. Okay, there are other
91
00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:12.500
important areas of the golf swing. There
92
00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:14.800
are other really big factors that will
93
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.360
help you gain speed in the golf swing,
94
00:03:17.659 --> 00:03:19.659
and there are also ways to keep the ball
95
00:03:19.659 --> 00:03:20.939
on the course, like I've said numerous
96
00:03:20.939 --> 00:03:24.180
times already. All right, so if you look
97
00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:25.800
at Sergio's takeaway here, I want you
98
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.379
guys to notice how wide he's got his
99
00:03:28.379 --> 00:03:30.500
arms. Okay, he's got his both arms fully
100
00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:32.580
extended. He's started to create a very
101
00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:35.219
wide swing arc. We do have a video on the
102
00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:37.860
site called wide narrow wide in the intro
103
00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:39.819
section, and that is a very, very
104
00:03:39.819 --> 00:03:41.759
important video for you guys all to look
105
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.719
at, and that's ultimately going to help
106
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.979
you understand how lag is built into the
107
00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:48.479
swing. So, understanding the overall
108
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.099
swing arc is going to give you a very
109
00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:52.919
clear understanding on how you can build
110
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.919
lag, and it'll actually automatically
111
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.639
start to build itself in there and
112
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.240
without a whole lot of focus. All right,
113
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.159
so Sergio keeps a very wide swing arc,
114
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:02.280
and we're going to move right to the top
115
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.439
part of his golf swing. And what I want
116
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.240
you to notice is a couple things here is
117
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.240
how loaded he is over the right side. He
118
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.680
is loaded into that right leg. He's got a
119
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.500
very, very big turn, and he makes a very
120
00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:17.759
big key move here that helps him increase
121
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.800
the lag. All right, so what I want you to
122
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.100
pay very close attention to is the shift
123
00:04:22.100 --> 00:04:24.199
of the body here, the shift to the left
124
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.660
as he starts the shift left and what
125
00:04:27.660 --> 00:04:29.459
happens to the golf club. All right, so
126
00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:31.600
he's going to start to unload the lower
127
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:32.199
half here.
128
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.160
We're going to move a frame or two
129
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.360
forward. Okay, you can see he's getting
130
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.139
ready to load into that left. There he
131
00:04:38.139 --> 00:04:38.420
goes.
132
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.019
Okay, so you see that shift. Now what I
133
00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:42.620
want you to pay very close attention to
134
00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:45.480
is how the golf club just down cocked.
135
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.579
And what he does here is he keeps the
136
00:04:47.579 --> 00:04:50.899
wrist very relaxed, very supple, and that
137
00:04:50.899 --> 00:04:53.740
shift to the left allows the momentum and
138
00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:54.920
the club head to feel a little bit
139
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.500
heavier, and that's pulling the wrist
140
00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:58.639
into this more of a down cocked position.
141
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.339
And we do have a video on the website
142
00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:02.019
called the Down Cock and Pump Drill
143
00:05:02.019 --> 00:05:03.839
that's located in the Down Swing section.
144
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.360
That those of you guys that are ready to
145
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.360
work under some more of an advanced move,
146
00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:10.699
you can take a look at the down cock and
147
00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:12.100
pump drill. That's a good one for you to
148
00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:13.800
understand that the shift to the left can
149
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.300
help increase this lag angle. All right,
150
00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:17.899
so that's one of the big areas that
151
00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:20.079
Sergio really, really gets going is that
152
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.660
shift left, keeping the supple wrist. And
153
00:05:22.660 --> 00:05:24.019
then when we start, when we move through
154
00:05:24.019 --> 00:05:25.360
this next frame, you're going to be
155
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.660
pretty wowed.
156
00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:33.040
All right, so we're going to move pretty
157
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.579
quickly. You can see how that club head
158
00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:36.779
is almost hitting him in the ear.
159
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.879
Now, one of the big areas that he talks
160
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.160
about, He focuses on is that he imagines
161
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.879
he's got a very heavy chain around his
162
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.759
wrists and the handle of the club. And
163
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.100
what he's trying to do is that he
164
00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:52.139
imagines that chain is anchored to the
165
00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:53.720
ceiling, and he's trying to pull that
166
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.560
chain out of the ceiling. So he's pulling
167
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.120
his arms straight down. And that's one of
168
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.480
the big areas that he openly speaks about
169
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.399
is that he thinks of a chain. And that
170
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.819
allows him to increase this angle along
171
00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:08.720
with that down cock that he has. So he's
172
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.180
able to maintain the angle. And then when
173
00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:13.420
he works down closer to impact here,
174
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:15.920
okay, we're going to work another frame
175
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.839
here. Okay, so now you can see his hands
176
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:18.980
are approaching in front of the right
177
00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:21.000
thigh. And you can still see that he's
178
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.680
got this crazy angle. Let's go ahead and
179
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.199
draw a line on the shaft so you guys can
180
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.079
see it. And then up the right forearm
181
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.300
here. So you can see that he has got a
182
00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:32.779
massive amount of lag. Now this is not an
183
00:06:32.779 --> 00:06:34.439
angle that you guys all need to achieve.
184
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.579
This is not something that, hey, go out
185
00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:38.560
and swing on this monster lag angle. This
186
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.139
is one of those things that, like I said,
187
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.439
Sergio does very well. It's not something
188
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:43.259
you can teach.
189
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.439
But a good key area for you guys, or a
190
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.139
good checkpoint for you to understand, is
191
00:06:48.139 --> 00:06:49.920
that when your hands start to pass in
192
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.139
front of the right thigh, and you've got
193
00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:54.939
the club at least parallel to the ground,
194
00:06:54.939 --> 00:06:57.040
You're going to be in good shape to
195
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:58.500
release the club, and you've still got a
196
00:06:58.500 --> 00:06:59.920
good amount of club head speed coming
197
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:01.360
from this portion of the golf swing.
198
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.100
All right, So all the other fundamentals
199
00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:05.800
from RST are going to really help you
200
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.540
still maintain a lot of club head speed,
201
00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:11.339
obviously not Sergio lag style. But if
202
00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:13.379
you can get the golf club lagged anywhere
203
00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:15.980
between where Sergio has it and to where
204
00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:18.240
the club is parallel to the ground, you
205
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.339
should be in good shape. If you have the
206
00:07:20.339 --> 00:07:23.399
club down below this parallel line, if
207
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:24.819
you notice that it's not parallel to the
208
00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:26.300
ground, Then you're probably going to
209
00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:27.879
have a little bit of a casting motion or
210
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.639
a little bit of an early flip or release
211
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.199
in the club, and that's going to be no
212
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.019
good. All right, so a good focus point
213
00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:34.300
for yourselves when you're out there
214
00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:36.079
analyzing your own golf swing, check on
215
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.779
camera when your hands pass in front of
216
00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:40.000
that right thigh, make sure that the club
217
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.800
head is at least parallel to the ground.
218
00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:45.779
All right, so now the biggest overlooked
219
00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:47.959
video on our website, and I can't
220
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.399
emphasize this enough, is the five
221
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.480
minutes to a perfect release, and that is
222
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.300
located in the downswing section as well.
223
00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:57.360
And I really want to make sure that those
224
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.160
of you that are trying to build lag into
225
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.800
your golf swing, shift your focus away
226
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.519
from that part and work on five minutes
227
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.360
to a perfect release. Because if you
228
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.319
build any part of this lag into your golf
229
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:09.680
swing, and you don't know how to release
230
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.060
and control the club face properly, then
231
00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:14.160
this lag angle is doing you absolutely no
232
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.879
good. Okay, So big emphasis on learning
233
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.839
how to release and control the club face
234
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:20.959
properly. Is going to change your game
235
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.060
and be able to keep the golf ball on the
236
00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:25.160
golf course and not have a wayward miss
237
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.040
all over the place. Okay, So that is the
238
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.899
most important thing I can emphasize is
239
00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:31.100
make sure that you pay very close
240
00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:32.980
attention to the five minutes to a
241
00:08:32.980 --> 00:08:33.659
perfect release.
242
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.259
And then you can start to build in some
243
00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:38.659
of these lag drills. Okay, I would
244
00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:39.419
recommend this.
245
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.220
As we start to build lag into the golf
246
00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:44.259
swing, once you've learned the five
247
00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:46.620
minutes to a perfect release, I would
248
00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:49.480
work on the key to building lag, which is
249
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:50.840
in the downswing section. So you can
250
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.259
understand the actual movement and how we
251
00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:55.980
how we develop lag, then I would start to
252
00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:58.679
work on the nine to three lag and speed
253
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.379
building drills. Okay, that's also
254
00:09:00.379 --> 00:09:02.139
located in the downswing section of the
255
00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:02.519
website.
256
00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:05.220
Then once you start to get a little bit
257
00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:06.759
more comfortable with the nine to three
258
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.419
drills, then I would work to the top of
259
00:09:08.419 --> 00:09:09.899
the golf swing and start to work on the
260
00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:12.120
down cock and pump drill. Okay, So
261
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.419
important for people to know that those
262
00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:15.720
of you, like I said in the beginning of
263
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.000
this, that are lag heads, you must be
264
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.500
able to control the club face
265
00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:22.620
first. Once you can learn how to control
266
00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:24.600
the club face, then you can start to add
267
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.259
more speed with advanced moves like
268
00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:29.399
building more lag into your swing. Okay,
269
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.100
so that is a very, very big, big thing
270
00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:33.779
that I'm going to emphasize this week is
271
00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:35.740
that learn how to control the club face,
272
00:09:35.899 --> 00:09:37.860
then add your then add your speed.
273
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:41.679
All right, so our goals for 2014 coming
274
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.000
up, I know the new year is right around
275
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:43.419
the corner.
276
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:45.679
Let's all learn how to control the club
277
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.899
face first, Then we can start to build
278
00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:49.659
those lag angles in, and we can start to
279
00:09:49.659 --> 00:09:51.679
build that club club head speed. And then
280
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.320
we're going to hit longer shots and
281
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.320
straighter shots at the same time, which
282
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.340
makes us all happy. I look forward to
283
00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:58.600
seeing the results out of you guys.
284
00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:01.240
Enjoy the review and we will see you guys
285
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:01.580
soon.
286
00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:04.039
All right, so now that we've learned how
287
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:05.600
important the releases in the golf swing,
288
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.139
I'm going to go ahead and attach a bonus
289
00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:08.600
video here. That's going to talk about
290
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.299
the mechanics and the importance. And how
291
00:10:11.299 --> 00:10:12.919
you're going to be able to ingrain the
292
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.000
proper release into your golf swing. And
293
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.399

feel free to post those questions and
297
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:22.480
I'll help you out and answer them as best
298
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.519
I can. I wish you all the best and I look
299
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:25.759
forward to working with you guys in the
300
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:26.080
future.
301
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.120
In the lose the right hand drill, I
302
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.399
started talking about how you get a
303
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.139
speedy release of the golf club without
304
00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:33.740
you having to put any effort into it
305
00:10:33.740 --> 00:10:35.740
whatsoever. For a lot of golfers,
306
00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:37.940
releasing the club is a foreign concept.
307
00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:39.460
They've never actually released the club.
308
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.799
They use their body. And then the problem
309
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.960
with that is that your body keeps turning
310
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.279
through impact. The club head and your
311
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.120
body have to move at a more relative
312
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.860
constant speed together versus letting my
313
00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:53.039
body stop. And the club can move very
314
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.539
fast. And my body doesn't have to do
315
00:10:54.539 --> 00:10:56.559
anything. In fact, the club can actually
316
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.659
release faster as my body slows down. I
317
00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:01.980
transmit energy up the chain into the
318
00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:04.539
club. So learning how to release the club
319
00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:06.059
and let that right hand come off is
320
00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:07.500
really important. But obviously, we don't
321
00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:09.039
play golf left-handed, Although I have a
322
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.460
lot of students who ask me if they can
323
00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:11.820
after they work through these drills that
324
00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:12.720
you're about to learn now.
325
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:14.879
What I'm going to do is work through the
326
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.139
sequence of how to learn to release the
327
00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:19.879
club very, very slowly until you start
