00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.040
This drill is 9 to 3 follow-through hold so I'm going to do some 9 to 3s and I

2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:06.120
'm

3
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.360
going to focus on getting into the best follow-through position that I can get

4
00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:16.120
to. So I could do some complementary movements here in transition or at the

5
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:21.320
top of the 9 to 3 so I could be working on hinging, I could be working on

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.200
sequencing, I could be working on the wipe or the motorcycle or any of the

7
00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:30.960
other key components here. But I'm really going to pay attention to where I

8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:31.520
finish

9
00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:35.840
and I'm going to try to focus on a couple different things. With the body

10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.280
position I'm going to make sure that my upper body is slightly behind the lower

11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.820
body so I have a good brace, I'd be in that water skier position and I'm going

12
00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:49.360
to make sure that my head and shoulders and hips are all pointed down towards

13
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.120
the golf ball like so. With the arms I'm going to make sure that my arms are

14
00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:59.640
finished straight out in front of my belly button so not way up here, not way

15
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:06.360
down there and the club is slightly out to the right of my hands so I'm going

16
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:06.400
to

17
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.800
make sure that it's not way over there. I'm also going to make sure that the

18
00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:19.120
club is slightly below the height of my hands it's not way up here so I'm going

19
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:24.160
to do my best to hit that position but then the real key to this drill is I'm

20
00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:28.340
just going to hold the position and I'm going to scan each one of them so I'm

21
00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:33.280
working on that follow-through position. I'm actually not too concerned. At

22
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:33.760
this

23
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:40.920
point the golf ball is more of a distraction so my goal is to stay here

24
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.230
and check the positions. I was a little bit taller than I would have liked to

25
00:01:44.230 --> 00:01:44.400
be.

26
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.360
That makes sense why the ball might have gone a little bit left but I'm not

27
00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:53.360
judging whether this was a good one or bad one based on the contact in the

28
00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:58.520
off-light. I'm judging it based on that position so oftentimes what I see on

29
00:01:58.520 --> 00:01:58.640
the

30
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.920
range is some golfers will be working on this and they'll go and they'll reach

31
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.040
for another one just like that and I'll say that was a wasted rep. You overre

32
00:02:08.040 --> 00:02:08.480
acted,

33
00:02:08.480 --> 00:02:14.080
you built an emotional pattern, you didn't focus on where you were trying to

34
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.400
get to and one of the skills to hitting really good golf shots is just letting

35
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.560
the golf ball get in the way and learning to basically make this swing

36
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.920
either hitting the positions or feeling the rhythm and not necessarily being so

37
00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:34.000
focused on the ball but focused on the swinging motion of the club rather than

38
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:43.080
having this violent kind of tense position of impact. So we'll do a few

39
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:51.120
more to get that out of my system. So now I'm just going to bring it back,

40
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:51.840
check

41
00:02:51.840 --> 00:03:00.720
this position. That's pretty good right there, a little fine-tuning, okay. Then

42
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:01.760
do

43
00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:11.480
one more. So the other thing of note is if I find that I'm hitting most of the

44
00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:16.640
positions I'm not going to try to necessarily get it perfect all at once.

45
00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:21.880
I might zero in on the one or two that I'm having trouble with. Like today it

46
00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:26.240
looks like I have a tendency to get out of the side because I were out of the

47
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:31.920
side bending because I slept a little funky two days ago and it hasn't quite

48
00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:38.360
recovered yet. So that one was a little fat and I can feel that my hands are a

49
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.440
little bit high and I've slid a little bit more forward than I would like to be

50
00:03:42.440 --> 00:03:42.520
.

51
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.080
So that tells me that when I was trying to do the side bend I was cheating and

52
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.880
trying to do it more with the arms and with the lower body instead of doing it

53
00:03:51.880 --> 00:03:58.880
more from the spine. So there I'm just zeroing in what I want to work on.

54
00:03:58.880 --> 00:04:06.600
Even though that was poorer contact, to me that was a better rep. So now I'll

55
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:15.320
probably get decent contact on this next one. So again I went through the

56
00:04:15.320 --> 00:04:19.760
little process there of refining the piece that I needed to and then putting

57
00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:24.760
it together back into a movement. I wasn't reacting just to how well I did as

58
00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:25.160
far

59
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.240
as contact with the ball. I knew that that would come with enough practice once

60
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:34.160
I was hitting more the positions and the movements were more in sync. So

61
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.440
hopefully

62
00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:39.800
this gives you a little insight as to how to do these drills as well as some

63
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.120
really key components to when you're working on your follow-through side of

64
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.080
the 9 to 3.
