Push Ball

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
Okay, so this drill is the pushball drill and this is again to help you get

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.640
that feeling of compressing the golf ball through impact

3
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:13.480
so if you remember from the door jam or the yoga block drill as I like to call

4
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:14.360
it, you're gonna

5
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:19.180
Practice pushing into the golf ball by getting into a really strong impact

6
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:20.440
position now

7
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.800
I can't push this golf ball anywhere because there's a big object in the way

8
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:24.580
well

9
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.380
You can do this drill without the object in the way without the wall and you

10
00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:31.960
can actually apply a force and throw the ball

11
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:37.330
now if you get into a good position and then you throw the ball the ball will

12
00:00:37.330 --> 00:00:39.200
actually kind of stick to the face and it'll

13
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.200
Go flying if you

14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.780
Get there and you have your hands too far back if you're standing up if your

15
00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:46.560
arms too straight

16
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.280
If any of the other things or the things that we're trying to not do right

17
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.350
So if you do the things that we're trying to accomplish you'll be able to throw

18
00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:56.480
the ball if you don't

19
00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:00.600
What will happen is the ball will actually slide up the face and it won't go

20
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:01.640
very far at all

21
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.960
That's especially if you're flipping with your wrist

22
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:08.320
Which we get into in the in more detail in the release section?

23
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:13.080
So again, it's all the same principles that we used in the door jam drill. You

24
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:13.600
're just gonna

25
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:16.320
try to apply them as

26
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:20.140
You extend your arms to go into the follow-through position. So I'll

27
00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:21.520
demonstrate a couple times

28
00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:27.090
And you can pay attention to the impact position we're trying to get to and how

29
00:01:27.090 --> 00:01:28.920
the arms extend and release through the ball

30
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:40.320
We'll do it one more time

31
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.120
So good impact position

32
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:54.840
So that's the pushball drill which helps you feel kind of from impact through

33
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.520
the follow-through

34
00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:03.490
The the important thing to recognize is it does depend it does there is a big

35
00:02:03.490 --> 00:02:05.600
difference depending on which club you're using

36
00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:09.120
So I'm using an eight iron here as you get better with it

37
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.440
You can challenge yourself and you can go to a wedge a nine iron wedge gap

38
00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:17.680
wedge as you try the clubs that have a little bit more loft

39
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.400
It becomes much more critical to really have those hands slightly ahead all the

40
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.640
good impact position things that we've talked about

41
00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:27.860
It's just more challenging and really test and make sure that you know what you

42
00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:28.080
're doing

43
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.550
So if you're doing it with a six iron and you're throwing pretty much every

44
00:02:31.550 --> 00:02:32.160
single one

45
00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:36.790
Challenge yourself and step it up to the next club. So that's the pushball

46
00:02:36.790 --> 00:02:37.200
drill
