After this video, you'll be able to:
- Feel how to engage your inner thighs to stabilize your stance
- Understand the role of your core in achieving proper body rotation
- Recognize how to avoid common faults like early extension during the swing
In this drill, you'll learn how to use your inner thighs to create a better body position at impact, enhancing your overall swing mechanics. This exercise will help you understand the connection between your core and legs for a more effective swing.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.920
This drill is the adductor merry-go-round.
2
00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:08.760
So the merry-go-round is a way to help you feel the proper body position for
3
00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:09.360
impact and
4
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:14.800
then you can focus on different pieces whether it's where would my arms be now
5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:15.560
or how do
6
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:17.120
I get there.
7
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.410
The adductor version is kind of helping you feel how the core and the legs work
8
00:00:21.410 --> 00:00:22.000
together
9
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.960
to get you into this merry-go-round.
10
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.240
So if you're familiar with the adductor frisbee squeeze where we talk about
11
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:28.360
using your adductors
12
00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:33.080
which is your inner thighs to kind of pull yourself into that left side, well
13
00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:33.920
the adductor
14
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.820
merry-go-round is basically using that to that pull motion from the inner thigh
15
00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:39.600
to trigger
16
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.880
the rotation of the right side.
17
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:48.320
So if I was to get in the good merry-go-round setup and then I'll address the
18
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:49.280
golf ball
19
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.490
just so I have a consistent visual so that my eyes can get used to where my
20
00:00:53.490 --> 00:00:54.440
body position
21
00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:55.440
would be.
22
00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:01.350
Now I'm going to try and pull with this inner thigh and I'm going to use that
23
00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:02.280
activity
24
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.120
in that inner thigh to initiate my rib cage.
25
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:13.370
So I'm trying to feel kind of a crunch as I'm doing this adductor frisbee
26
00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:14.600
squeeze to
27
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:17.320
pull myself into this body position.
28
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:22.140
So if you have the tendency to kind of get on the outside of your foot or slide
29
00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:22.720
or even
30
00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:26.190
early extend it could be that you're using some different leg muscles and not
31
00:01:26.190 --> 00:01:26.760
your inner
32
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.800
thigh to help get you into that bracing position.
33
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:34.400
So I'll just demonstrate a couple of times arms across.
34
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.240
I'm going to pull with that inner thigh.
35
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:43.060
I could alternatively have some tubing pulling my leg that way so that I focus
36
00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:44.080
on it squeezing
37
00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:45.080
in.
38
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:51.380
So I'm pulling just like so, pulling just like so and then I can get a sense of
39
00:01:51.380 --> 00:01:51.880
well
40
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:55.710
now if I was doing kind of a nine to three version what would it feel like for
41
00:01:55.710 --> 00:01:56.080
me to
42
00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:06.380
go through that and I can do that while hitting golf balls so pull just like so
43
00:02:06.380 --> 00:02:06.400
.
44
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.240
Pull just like so, feeling that inner thigh kind of triggering this rotation.
45
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:16.060
So if you're working on the bracing component and getting into a more stable
46
00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:16.880
impact position
47
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:20.380
use the inner thigh or the adductor merry-go-round to help with that process.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.920
This drill is the adductor merry-go-round.

to get you into this merry-go-round.
10
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.240

the rotation of the right side.

So if I was to get in the good merry-go-round setup and then I'll address the

in that inner thigh to initiate my rib cage.
25
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:13.370
So I'm trying to feel kind of a crunch as I'm doing this adductor frisbee

00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:14.600
squeeze to

pull myself into this body position.
28
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:22.140
So if you have the tendency to kind of get on the outside of your foot or slide
29
00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:22.720
or even
30
00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:26.190
early extend it could be that you're using some different leg muscles and not
31
00:01:26.190 --> 00:01:26.760
your inner

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.800

38
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:51.380
So I'm pulling just like so, pulling just like so and then I can get a sense of

00:01:51.380 --> 00:01:51.880

Pull just like so, feeling that inner thigh kind of triggering this rotation.

38
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:51.380
So I'm pulling just like so, pulling just like so and then I can get a sense of

00:01:51.380 --> 00:01:51.880
well
40
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:55.710

the rotation of the right side.
17
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:48.320
So if I was to get in the good merry-go-round setup and then I'll address the

golf ball
19

would be.
22
00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:01.350
Now I'm going to try and pull with this inner thigh and I'm going to use that
23
00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:02.280
activity
24
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.120
in that inner thigh to initiate my rib cage.
25
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:13.370
So I'm trying to feel kind of a crunch as I'm doing this adductor frisbee
26
00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:14.600
squeeze to
27
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:17.320
pull myself into this body position.
28
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:22.140
So if you have the tendency to kind of get on the outside of your foot or slide
29
00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:22.720
or even
30
00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:26.190
early extend it could be that you're using some different leg muscles and not
31
00:01:26.190 --> 00:01:26.760
your inner
32
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.800
thigh to help get you into that bracing position.
33
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:34.400
So I'll just demonstrate a couple of times arms across.
34
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.240
I'm going to pull with that inner thigh.
35
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:43.060
I could alternatively have some tubing pulling my leg that way so that I focus
36
00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:44.080
on it squeezing
37
00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:45.080
in.
38
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:51.380
So I'm pulling just like so, pulling just like so and then I can get a sense of
39
00:01:51.380 --> 00:01:51.880
well
40
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:55.710
now if I was doing kind of a nine to three version what would it feel like for
41
00:01:55.710 --> 00:01:56.080
me to
42
00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:06.380
go through that and I can do that while hitting golf balls so pull just like so
43
00:02:06.380 --> 00:02:06.400
.
44
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.240
Pull just like so, feeling that inner thigh kind of triggering this rotation.
45
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:16.060
So if you're working on the bracing component and getting into a more stable
46
00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:16.880
impact position
47
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:20.380
use the inner thigh or the adductor merry-go-round to help with that process.
