Setting up the drill
Take your normal grip and note the amount of extension. Set the biofeedback range to give a positive tone if you're within a range of 15-30 degrees more flexed than you were at set up.
How to do the drill
Get in your good set up position and address a golf ball. From there, try to get into a good impact position using the body image that you have practiced with the MGR drill. Now, apply a force into the golf ball as you move through to follow through position. If you flip the club and use mostly your hands to transfer the speed, then the ball will slide up the face and not go very far at all. But, if you do this right, the ball will “stick” to the face and the ball will go flying 10-30 yards out and just left of the target.
What to focus on and why
This drill can help you with the timing and direction of the arm motions as well as having enough rotation and side bend. Also, it help you feel transfering energy from your body through your arms instead of just using your hands. With practice, you will feel how this movement blends into a feeling of bracing and you can use this feeling to help you practice 9 to 3 drills. I use this drill frequently with beginners and better players alike, so try it for yourself and work on a better impact position and timing.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.360
This is the Hack Motion pushball drill, so I've got the sensor set up so that
2
00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:12.000
basically
3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:17.000
my normal grip is, today it's about 30 degrees extended.
4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.400
So I've got it set to where when I get it into less than 10 degrees flex,
5
00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:21.760
because I'm
6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:27.680
being a little bit tough on myself today, you'll hear the tone.
7
00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:32.080
So basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to practice going from my set up
8
00:00:32.080 --> 00:00:32.680
position
9
00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:36.740
to the impact position with the wrist flex and I'm going to keep it flexed and
10
00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:37.120
I'm going
11
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:38.800
to do a little pushball.
12
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.190
So one more time, set up position, normal, flex it, get it into that good
13
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:45.560
extended or
14
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:50.180
that flexed impact position and then use my body while keeping the wrist in
15
00:00:50.180 --> 00:00:50.880
that flex
16
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:56.520
position that'll help you train your impact and follow through.
