- Practice maintaining a centered pivot while keeping your arms wide
- Visualize your hand path to enhance the transition into your downswing
In this video, you'll learn the Reach Over the Fence drill to address the loss of posture during your backswing. This drill helps improve arm positioning at the top of your swing for better overall control and consistency.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.840
This drill is the reach over the fence drill for the loss of posture swing
2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.840
fault. So what we're going to do with this drill is we're going to help work on
3
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:11.920
the arm position at the top of the swing which could be causing you to stand up
4
00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:17.440
and lose your posture. What can happen is that golfers think that the arms need
5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.800
to get very very high and so after the takeaway the arms will basically lift up
6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.240
and unless you're very strong in your mid-back what can happen is that left
7
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:31.380
shoulder and your spine will get more vertical to support the weight of your
8
00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:37.880
arms lifting up. So the club will feel a little heavier probably for some of
9
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:38.040
you
10
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:41.280
if you get the club in the right position. To get the club in the right
11
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:41.640
position
12
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.680
we're going to use this little plastic Tyler trainer again. You're going to get
13
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:52.200
set up and then after you make your takeaway movement you're going to let
14
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.920
your arms continue to stay wide almost like I'm reaching them away from me. Now
15
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.240
I'm not reaching them away from me by collapsing my spine. I'm still keeping a
16
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.080
very centered pivot and my upper body is staying more or less over the golf
17
00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:05.800
ball
18
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:12.440
but as my left shoulder goes down those arms are reaching more away and that
19
00:01:12.440 --> 00:01:12.600
will
20
00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:17.840
help support this right arm jazzy Jeff move. The the common thing that I see
21
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.280
with the players that stand up is after the takeaway or sometimes during it the
22
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.230
arms and the club will kind of lift up this way and you can see that compared
23
00:01:26.230 --> 00:01:26.240
to
24
00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:31.400
this fence I'm not very wide right. So the the width at the top of the
25
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:35.680
swing helps allow for the transition move if you're very narrow at the top of
26
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:35.760
the
27
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.240
swing it's going to tend to mess up your transition timing. So this is a good
28
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:44.120
little spatial awareness drill gives you a visual of where you want your hand
29
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.640
path to be and helps you support create a better top of the backswing position
30
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.640
which will support what we're trying to do in transition.
