Feet Together Distance Wedge

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.200
This drill is feet together wedge swings, so this is a good drill for working

2
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:10.740
on your

3
00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:15.100
stack centers and your smooth force, sometimes when your feet are together it

4
00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:16.480
will make it

5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.190
more challenging to hit the shot more with your core and as a result,

6
00:00:22.190 --> 00:00:23.680
especially as you

7
00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:27.340
make bigger swings you'll start to have a little bit arm drift or arm

8
00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:28.440
disconnect, but

9
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.150
this is a good bridge from doing the stalk drill of your single leg to now

10
00:00:33.150 --> 00:00:34.060
having both

11
00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:38.390
feet on the ground, but both feet together. When both feet are together, if you

12
00:00:38.390 --> 00:00:38.880
get too

13
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.430
much tilt one way or the other you'll tend to lose your balance, so this forces

14
00:00:43.430 --> 00:00:43.880
you to

15
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:50.050
stay a little bit more stacked, but in order to get contact you would either

16
00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:51.040
have to have

17
00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:57.040
a lot of throw, so you could combo this with a connection drill, or if you keep

18
00:00:57.040 --> 00:00:57.800
that connection

19
00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:01.890
then the only way you're going to really get this down to the golf ball is by

20
00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:02.480
having a

21
00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:11.290
good blend of side bend, so that would be kind of my lower length. When I do

22
00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:13.180
these typically

23
00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:18.320
I will air more on like L to L or chest height, so I'll do kind of my number

24
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:19.400
two, kind of

25
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:24.920
more like that and you'll see still got pretty good trajectory, good amount of

26
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:25.760
spin, good

27
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:34.570
ground contact. So if you have a hard time sinking up your arms and your body

28
00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:35.320
and you

29
00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:40.470
either get really body driven, putting your feet together makes it really hard

30
00:01:40.470 --> 00:01:40.920
to get

31
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.330
body driven, so this forces you to do a little bit more with the arms, but

32
00:01:45.330 --> 00:01:46.320
still keep the

33
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:53.840
overall stacked and radius control in order to make solid contact. You can't

34
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:54.560
hit this

35
00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.560
just with the arms or else it's hard to get all the way down to the golf ball

36
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:01.200
and you

37
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.600
can't do a really big body movement, I felt like I was going to fall over there

38
00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:07.120
, but you

39
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:13.290
can't do like a really aggressive or big body movement with your feet together,

40
00:02:13.290 --> 00:02:13.520
so because

41
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.930
it limits the amount of axis tilt, now we can get a little bit more smoothness

42
00:02:19.930 --> 00:02:20.400
and and

43
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.070
sinkness, so I'm still getting the side bend, I'm keeping my posture on the way

44
00:02:24.070 --> 00:02:24.560
through

45
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.610
or keeping that shoulder plane working down, but I'm not getting a ton of throw

46
00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:30.280
, it's really

47
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.120
synced up with the arms, so this can be a really good rhythm drill, I'll have

48
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:34.840
some players

49
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.910
who love it and they'll use it as one of their warm ups when they go to play,

50
00:02:38.910 --> 00:02:39.920
but it's often

51
00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:44.540
helpful if you are used to a really wide stance, if you're used to doing too

52
00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:45.400
much with your

53
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.300
legs or too much with your arms and messing up either your stack centers, your

54
00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:49.760
smooth

55
00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:55.160
force or your constant radius, this is kind of a catch all drill and if you

56
00:02:55.160 --> 00:02:56.800
notice what

57
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:00.720
actually changes, like I recommend videotaping yourself doing a regular swing

58
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:01.320
and then on

59
00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:07.070
this, that will tell you what complimentary drills you might want to do to work

60
00:03:07.070 --> 00:03:07.840
on either

61
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.240
the stack centers, the radius control or often more likely what shows up in

62
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:14.480
this is the quality

63
00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:19.880
in the direction of your pivot, because you're avoiding using the core and this

64
00:03:19.880 --> 00:03:20.240
drill makes

65
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:25.600
it really hard to do it just with the arms or just with the legs.
