Bunker Stork Turn

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.310
This is the Bunker Stork Drill, so the Stork Drill or the single leg only drill

2
00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:11.820
is to help

3
00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:16.020
get your center stacked because when you're standing just on your front leg, if

4
00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:16.640
you start

5
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.880
to create too much tilt, then you'll fall over.

6
00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:23.550
So it's really clear feedback as to your upper body not being in line with your

7
00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:24.920
lower body.

8
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.990
Now with the Bunker, we're going to do this just a little bit differently than

9
00:00:28.990 --> 00:00:29.400
we did

10
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:32.280
with the distance wedge or even the finesse wedge.

11
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:37.510
With the distance and finesse wedge, we focused on being on that leg and really

12
00:00:37.510 --> 00:00:38.080
focusing on

13
00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:42.960
getting some good extension on the way through of that leg and chest.

14
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.100
On this Bunker shot, we want to focus on staying in this kind of squat position

15
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:48.640
, keeping the

16
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.840
hips more level and turning around a bent knee.

17
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.540
So the knee can rotate a little bit as well, but we're going to have this

18
00:00:59.540 --> 00:01:01.040
feeling of rotating

19
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:04.340
a little bit more level similar to what we might have felt in the wood chopper

20
00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:04.840
drill.

21
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:09.020
A lot of bad bunker players tend to create too much slide bump and tilt where

22
00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:09.440
their

23
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:13.710
upper body gets behind, throwing their contact point backward and making the

24
00:01:13.710 --> 00:01:14.440
club either

25
00:01:14.440 --> 00:01:20.000
chunk way behind the ball, eight inches, a foot, or miss the same entirely and

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:20.560
bladed

27
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.480
over the green.

28
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.920
So we're going to take our normal setup here, let's draw a little bit of

29
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.040
feedback, so we

30
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.080
got our bunker lines there, we're going to take our normal setup and then we're

31
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:32.480
going

32
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:38.140
to just bring this foot back a little bit and feel like we put no weight in it

33
00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:38.720
so we can

34
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.250
go into the toe, but it's a little bit harder to completely extend the leg when

35
00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:44.880
we're set

36
00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:49.430
up a little bit more vertical compared to when I'm bent over for a distance

37
00:01:49.430 --> 00:01:50.080
wedge, it's

38
00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:53.110
a lot easier to bring that foot back because of my spine angle, where my spine

39
00:01:53.110 --> 00:01:53.520
's more

40
00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:56.680
vertical and limited in the amount of hip extension I'm going to have.

41
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:02.440
So it's not going to go back quite as far, so we're going to get setup.

42
00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:06.220
So the ball position is pretty much just in line with the heel, got my nose in

43
00:02:06.220 --> 00:02:06.720
line with

44
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:10.480
the golf ball, and now I'm going to unweight there.

45
00:02:10.480 --> 00:02:15.610
Now I'm probably going to feel a little limited in terms of reaching a full

46
00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:16.720
finish, so I wouldn't

47
00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:20.440
try to necessarily hit my longest bunker shots, just aim for quality contact

48
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:21.200
and getting a

49
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:24.840
feeling of being more stacked and stable through the entire swing.

50
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:31.950
Okay, so let's do practice swing first, so we're in that stacked position, let

51
00:02:31.950 --> 00:02:32.440
's go

52
00:02:32.440 --> 00:02:36.670
a little bit more unweight, so it's going to feel like a floating kind of

53
00:02:36.670 --> 00:02:37.440
single leg

54
00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:44.200
squat there where I'm completely in that leg, just like that.

55
00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:48.900
So contact point right at the first line, bottom of the divot, or middle of the

56
00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:49.400
divot

57
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.700
I should say, which is the bottom right at that second line, ball is somewhere

58
00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:53.000
in the

59
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.430
middle of that, that'll help you get a feeling of being more stacked and level

60
00:02:56.430 --> 00:02:56.960
as you're

61
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.980
turning through, especially if you struggle with getting a little bit too much

62
00:03:00.980 --> 00:03:01.720
tilt causing

63
00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:06.600
contact issues for your bunker game.
