1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.800
This drill is impact with two T's.

2
00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:08.840
So basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to take two T's and put the golf

3
00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:09.200
ball

4
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:13.390
on one when I'm actually hitting, but I'm going to put them about four to six

5
00:00:13.390 --> 00:00:13.720
inches

6
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:14.720
apart.

7
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.120
This is a classic drill that Golf Digest did a great study on it and for

8
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:20.560
helping especially

9
00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.140
pure beginners, this is a great drill regardless of what your swing style is.

10
00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:30.550
But I find that it can be helpful for golfers who've lost that feeling of good

11
00:00:30.550 --> 00:00:31.580
solid impact,

12
00:00:31.580 --> 00:00:34.940
just to kind of retool the focus that we're trying to get.

13
00:00:34.940 --> 00:00:38.180
Basically what it does is it forces a shallow angle of attack.

14
00:00:38.180 --> 00:00:42.930
So I'm going to take some half swings and I'm going to try to make contact just

15
00:00:42.930 --> 00:00:43.660
clipping

16
00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:51.300
the first T and then clipping the second T in one movement.

17
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:55.920
So I'm going to try and take this little half swing, clipping both T's kind of

18
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:56.620
just like

19
00:00:56.620 --> 00:00:59.300
so.

20
00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:07.590
What you'll find, especially if you then add the golf ball to the first T, is

21
00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:08.140
that if

22
00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:12.300
you were to try and basically pick the golf ball, you'll have no chance of

23
00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:12.900
hitting the

24
00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:14.200
second T.

25
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:21.690
So it encourages you to let those arms extend and to continue letting the club

26
00:01:21.690 --> 00:01:23.120
work downward

27
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.520
through contact.

28
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:29.410
Now that doesn't mean that I'm going to prevent my body from rotating which

29
00:01:29.410 --> 00:01:30.400
actually pulls

30
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:35.360
the handle up because if I were to prevent my arms from swinging, what'll

31
00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:36.200
happen is I

32
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.800
will hit very, very steep and I still won't be able to hit that second T.

33
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:47.330
So this is just one of those good universal drills that gets you focused on

34
00:01:47.330 --> 00:01:48.440
what the club

35
00:01:48.440 --> 00:01:52.790
is doing with the ball and ultimately can help you when you're feeling a little

36
00:01:52.790 --> 00:01:53.040
bit

37
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.880
too mechanical while you're working on your impact.

38
00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:59.030
So I'm going to practice that good impact position and then I'm going to do a

39
00:01:59.030 --> 00:01:59.440
little

40
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:04.720
nine to three and you can see that I clipped both T's on that shot.

41
00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:08.490
So that's the classic two-chee drill working in the nine to three movement to

42
00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:08.800
help you

43
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.280
work on your impact conditions.
