Trail Arm & Sidearm Throw Release Drill
This is a great way to combine several tour inspired release drills into one playable “feel”.
As a starting point, improving the patterns related to the trail arm will often mitigate issues with contact and inconsistency. Movements such as the motorcycle, wipe, and unhinge are variations that can be quickly incorporated into some of the 9-to-3/10-to-2 release drills.
With these fundamentals, players can then progress to the sidearm throw pattern, which helps train both rotation and side bend through impact; this is a useful concept for players looking to maintain their posture and avoid “early-extension”.
Ultimately, these concepts can provide a sense for how both the big and small muscles coordinate during the swing. When trained together, they should create a consolidated feel that can easily transfer from the range to the course.
