1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.740
This drill is the 360 jump.

2
00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:12.840
So the 360 jump is a way to feel a combination of vertical movement of the hips

3
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:13.520
as well as

4
00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:14.520
rotation.

5
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:19.690
So I encourage you to try this one at home, but if you have any knee, ankle,

6
00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:20.520
lower back

7
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:22.840
issues, then don't do it.

8
00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:25.880
Do it only under the supervision of a trainer.

9
00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:29.280
So first we're going to start with just a really simple, okay, can I jump?

10
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.320
So I feel like my knees and my ankles are able to hold up for just a simple

11
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.040
jump.

12
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:36.880
Then we're going to do a 180.

13
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.360
So for a lot of my golfers, especially my older golfers, this is as far as we

14
00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:41.040
go, but

15
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:44.010
we're going to do a little wind up and then we're going to jump so my back

16
00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:44.600
would face

17
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:45.600
the camera.

18
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.080
So we'll do that again, turn, jump.

19
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:52.640
Now if you're pretty athletic, if you're, you know, one of my high school

20
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:53.400
college kids

21
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:57.520
out there, I want you to do more of a 360 jump.

22
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:04.520
So all the way around, didn't stick the landing, do one more, good.

23
00:01:04.520 --> 00:01:11.940
So now you'll feel as you do this 360 jump, there's a load downward, but then

24
00:01:11.940 --> 00:01:12.480
as I go

25
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:18.440
to take off, there's this combination of vertical movement and rotation.

26
00:01:18.440 --> 00:01:21.850
Now the key is when we take this into the golf plane, we're not going to be

27
00:01:21.850 --> 00:01:22.400
spinning

28
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.560
around a vertical axis like that.

29
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.160
We're not going to jump and spin like this.

30
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:32.840
We're going to be spinning on this golf plane or about a 45 degree axis.

31
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.180
So when I feel that jump, it's going to feel like I'm lengthening towards this

32
00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:37.640
camera

33
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:43.800
up here like this, not like I'm just spinning vertically.

34
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.810
So now when I pick up the club, we're going to do a few kind of connected

35
00:01:48.810 --> 00:01:49.760
drills where

36
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:51.640
I'm not going to use much arms.

37
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:58.020
I'm just going to try and feel this 360 jump, but while my right shoulder stays

38
00:01:58.020 --> 00:01:58.240
down and

39
00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:01.240
I stay in my posture, and because the right shoulder is going to stay down and

40
00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:01.720
I'm going

41
00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:06.830
to stay in my posture, I'm not actually going to get up off the ground, but I

42
00:02:06.830 --> 00:02:07.960
will do one

43
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:13.460
where I try to exaggerate it, where I will actually try to get off the ground.

44
00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:19.160
So I'm going to bring it back and I'm going to feel like I jump and twist

45
00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:20.680
simultaneously

46
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.440
while this shoulder is going through.

47
00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:31.500
So this gives me a feel of after from the top of the swing, once I get to about

48
00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:32.480
delivery

49
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:36.670
position or about arm parallel, kind of like this, this is now the dominant

50
00:02:36.670 --> 00:02:37.240
movement from

51
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.040
the lower body and the core.

52
00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:46.740
So from right about here, now I'm going to do that vertical as well as twisting

53
00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:47.200
type

54
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:48.200
movement.

55
00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:51.890
I got my shoulder up on that one, or sorry I didn't keep my shoulder down on

56
00:02:51.890 --> 00:02:52.600
that one,

57
00:02:52.600 --> 00:02:58.200
so I caught that a little thin, but it was the overall concept.

58
00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:02.960
So let's do one as a stop drill where you're going to bring it back, preset it,

59
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:03.600
and then

60
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:09.150
from here, I'm just going to feel a little bit more of this kind of single leg,

61
00:03:09.150 --> 00:03:10.760
360 jump

62
00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:15.200
to bring my arms through to follow through.

63
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:20.950
So preset it, we're going to bring it back, freeze, 360 jump, while the

64
00:03:20.950 --> 00:03:22.120
shoulder stays

65
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:26.820
down, that gets this blend of the vertical and rotation forces.

66
00:03:26.820 --> 00:03:33.200
Now the key is that the timing of the jump happens always at arm parallel or

67
00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:33.520
around this

68
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.200
zone.

69
00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:39.390
So if I do swings where I stop there, I can do the jump right away, but as I

70
00:03:39.390 --> 00:03:39.920
make a bigger

71
00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:44.540
swing, now there's going to have to be this little weighting where I'm getting

72
00:03:44.540 --> 00:03:45.120
a little

73
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.920
bit more momentum before that jump.

74
00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:51.240
So that's option one is we're going to lengthen it.

75
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.900
The other thing that I try to stress is that this jump doesn't have to be the

76
00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:57.000
most explosive

77
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.960
jump that you've ever done.

78
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.700
It's just have to be more of the dominant motion.

79
00:04:02.700 --> 00:04:10.830
What I mean by that is if you recall from the Sasho 2 step, the vertical

80
00:04:10.830 --> 00:04:13.460
movement is roughly

81
00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:16.060
one and a half, maybe two times your body weight.

82
00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:21.180
So it's more like a jog type push, so it's kind of a jump like this.

83
00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:24.780
It's not like a sprint or a massive explosion.

84
00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:29.120
If I push too hard at this point, then it can disrupt how my core works and it

85
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:29.860
can disrupt

86
00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:32.220
some of my release and arm timing.

87
00:04:32.220 --> 00:04:37.300
So I'm going to do one more of these little stop drills and I'm going to try to

88
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:37.820
do the

89
00:04:37.820 --> 00:04:39.460
slow jump.

90
00:04:39.460 --> 00:04:43.870
So I'm going to bring it back and now I'm going to feel again, I'm not going to

91
00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:44.620
do very much

92
00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:52.430
with the arms, but I felt like it was a really kind of slow gradual jump as

93
00:04:52.430 --> 00:04:53.780
opposed to an

94
00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:55.620
explosive one.

95
00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:58.100
Now we'll take it up to the full swing.

96
00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:03.190
So now as we go out towards the top of the swing, there's this little kind of

97
00:05:03.190 --> 00:05:04.140
collecting

98
00:05:04.140 --> 00:05:05.140
before the jump.

99
00:05:05.140 --> 00:05:06.460
There's a little bit of a waiting.

100
00:05:06.460 --> 00:05:10.900
The jump does not happen as soon as I start down.

101
00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:18.460
So here we go, have a little bit of weight, kind of like so.

102
00:05:18.460 --> 00:05:22.800
So there we've got this feeling of just this little bit of waiting before the

103
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:23.700
jump happened.

104
00:05:23.700 --> 00:05:26.900
It doesn't happen immediately as I start down.

105
00:05:26.900 --> 00:05:33.600
If you're used to pulling with the arms, the weight is going to feel like it

106
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:34.980
takes forever.

107
00:05:34.980 --> 00:05:39.350
But if you're used to not using your legs, it may feel like it's going to

108
00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:40.460
happen early.

109
00:05:40.460 --> 00:05:44.800
So the key is not so much what it feels like, the key is what it looks like on

110
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:45.300
video.

111
00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:50.310
Just make sure that the activity and the pushing of the legs is happening

112
00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:51.340
roughly when the

113
00:05:51.340 --> 00:05:55.540
club is in this space, not when the club is all the way down here, which would

114
00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:55.940
happen

115
00:05:55.940 --> 00:06:00.280
if you were more arm dominant or not straight away, which would happen if you

116
00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:01.140
were a little

117
00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:02.380
too aggressive.

118
00:06:02.380 --> 00:06:06.140
So this is one of my favorite kind of combo drills.

119
00:06:06.140 --> 00:06:10.630
It takes a good level of feel, but when you get it, it gives you a really solid

120
00:06:10.630 --> 00:06:11.300
sense of

121
00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:14.540
the lower body action during the release.

122
00:06:14.540 --> 00:06:18.990
This can help with solidness of contact, as well as creating power in a more

123
00:06:18.990 --> 00:06:19.660
balanced

124
00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:20.660
or even way.

125
00:06:20.660 --> 00:06:23.940
So one more demo, let's add a little speed.

126
00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:30.100
This one's fun for me.

127
00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:34.850
Speed gives height, maybe a tiny bit early with the release, but overall,

128
00:06:34.850 --> 00:06:35.780
pretty solid

129
00:06:35.780 --> 00:06:36.020
a-darn.
