This video we're going to cover the Faldo drill.

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:13.280
The Faldo drill is helpful for preventing you from getting too extended atop by

3
00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:13.280
helping

4
00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:17.700
you feel more of a body rotation to end your backswing rather than an arm lift

5
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:18.240
to end your

6
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:19.240
backswing.

7
00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:25.070
So the purpose of the Faldo drill is basically I'm going to preset my wrist so

8
00:00:25.070 --> 00:00:26.200
that now my

9
00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:30.360
wrist and my arms are no longer going to move from here to the top of the swing

10
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:30.720
.

11
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:35.400
So now I can get used to feeling my body finishing the backswing where most of

12
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:36.200
the golfers who

13
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.950
get too extended at the top of the swing, the body will kind of stop halfway

14
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:41.840
back or even

15
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.960
sooner and then the majority of the backswing is more of this arm lift.

16
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.430
And when we get to the top of the swing from this arm lift, I'm feeling more of

17
00:00:51.430 --> 00:00:52.040
a signal

18
00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:55.940
that I need to change direction, I'm feeling more of the end of my backswing in

19
00:00:55.940 --> 00:00:56.320
some of

20
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.870
my arm muscles, my shoulder muscles, but not so much of my core and my hip

21
00:01:00.870 --> 00:01:01.720
muscles.

22
00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:06.170
When I do the Faldo drill, I've preset my arms and now my goal is to turn my

23
00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:06.720
hips and

24
00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:12.160
my ribs and my back until I feel a stretch kind of here in my core.

25
00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:17.120
And that is now going to trigger the need for me to want to swing down.

26
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:23.340
So Faldo drill can be really helpful for making you finish your swing with your

27
00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:24.400
body as opposed

28
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.640
to finishing the swing with the arms.

29
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.350
When you finish the swing with your arms, you're going to be much more likely

30
00:01:29.350 --> 00:01:29.960
for that wrist

31
00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:34.320
to get into an extended position at the top.
