00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.860
This drill is armpit rope swings.

2
00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:11.180
So this is kind of in the same light as the beat the drum, but I've realized

3
00:00:11.180 --> 00:00:11.600
that with

4
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:16.530
the beat the drum drill, which is a dynamic version of the merry-go-round,

5
00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:17.120
basically the

6
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:22.430
goal there is to get the speed going from your legs into the core and into the

7
00:00:22.430 --> 00:00:23.240
ribcage.

8
00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:27.460
It's really helpful for golfers who tend to early extend and kind of stall the

9
00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:27.880
body and

10
00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:29.880
just kind of throw the arms.

11
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:34.000
The problem with it is unless you have something to strike against, which is

12
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:34.740
usually provided

13
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:39.960
by me, it's something you're not going to feel too clearly.

14
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:47.300
So we're going to use a rope or I've seen or other instructors use a jacket, so

15
00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:47.880
I'll

16
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.200
use my shirt sleeve here as kind of the backup version.

17
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.050
But with the rope, basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to try and get

18
00:00:55.050 --> 00:00:55.540
my body

19
00:00:55.540 --> 00:01:01.150
speed into the rope or into the handle and I'm not going to have any

20
00:01:01.150 --> 00:01:02.780
opportunity to use

21
00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:04.320
my shoulders and my arms.

22
00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:08.760
So I'm going to take the rope and I'm going to place it high up in my armpit

23
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:09.400
kind of like

24
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:13.600
this and then I'm going to take that arm and place it across my chest.

25
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:18.140
Now a kind of advanced version is I'm just going to use my body, but for the

26
00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:18.840
beginner

27
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:24.420
version, let's say I'm going to bring the rope back while holding onto it and

28
00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:25.060
then I'm

29
00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:33.730
going to let go and I'm going to try to get the rope to whip through impact as

30
00:01:33.730 --> 00:01:34.580
much as

31
00:01:34.580 --> 00:01:36.140
I can.

32
00:01:36.140 --> 00:01:41.520
Now dynamically as I get better at this, I'm going to do a little bit more of

33
00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:42.380
this kind

34
00:01:42.380 --> 00:01:48.860
of preset move where I swing the rope back fast with my body to load that right

35
00:01:48.860 --> 00:01:49.480
glute

36
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:54.320
and then I swing it down using my hips and my core.

37
00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:57.640
So the advanced version would be I'm not allowed to use either hand.

38
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.640
I'm going to get it swinging, turn it back, turn it through.

39
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.480
This is quite a core workout.

40
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.830
If you're used to early extending, what you'll see is that rope will swing

41
00:02:08.830 --> 00:02:10.080
almost vertically.

42
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:16.750
So see if you can get it to swing through more on plane, especially if you are

43
00:02:16.750 --> 00:02:17.360
using

44
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.810
the hand to get a big enough swing that it will come through on roughly a swing

45
00:02:22.810 --> 00:02:23.520
plane.

46
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.620
That would be a good indication that you're keeping your head on the pillow or

47
00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:28.360
you're keeping

48
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.060
your spine angle on the way through.

49
00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:35.120
So if you don't have a rope, you could use a towel.

50
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:40.800
The towels work pretty well, or potentially what you can do is if you pull your

51
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.480
arm out

52
00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:47.200
of a jacket or out of a sleeve, kind of like this, it's a little windy today.

53
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:49.480
So this is going to be really tough.

54
00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:57.820
My goal is to use my body to propel my sleeve towards the target while staying

55
00:02:57.820 --> 00:02:59.240
on plane.

56
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:07.530
So that right there is kind of an exaggerated feel of the dynamic body position

57
00:03:07.530 --> 00:03:09.880
going through

58
00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:11.560
the merry-go-round movement.

59
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:18.990
So now I'm going to try and combo that into a 10-2 where I'm going to feel like

60
00:03:18.990 --> 00:03:19.600
I have

61
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:23.280
that same throwing action from my body.

62
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.680
My arms are going to be connected but soft like ropes, so they're just going to

63
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:30.400
transmit

64
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.040
the force from my body.

65
00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:35.550
I did a little bit more with my arms on that one, so I could feel that the core

66
00:03:35.550 --> 00:03:36.000
wasn't

67
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.000
quite as involved.

68
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:46.680
I'm going to get that feel of the beat the drum or the dynamic merry-go-round.

69
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.620
And when you do that, you'll tend to feel this speed through the ball that you

70
00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:52.200
may not

71
00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:58.590
be used to if you're used to more of a kind of the classic upper body dominant

72
00:03:58.590 --> 00:04:01.280
stand up,

73
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.000
stall throw the arms.

74
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.030
Now because I have a reference, that feels like my body is stopped and nothing

75
00:04:08.030 --> 00:04:08.440
in my

76
00:04:08.440 --> 00:04:10.000
core was really involved.

77
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.080
That was an arm flick with some leg action.

78
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.310
I don't want to end with that, so let's see if we can do one more good one

79
00:04:17.310 --> 00:04:18.800
where we feel

80
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.760
like we do the dynamic merry-go-round.

81
00:04:22.760 --> 00:04:31.280
So that was pretty good there.

82
00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:35.380
So try that if you have a little bit more of early-sentience stall flip or you

83
00:04:35.380 --> 00:04:35.560
have a

84
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.160
hard time getting the merry-go-round to feel powerful.
