00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480
This drill is band-resistant backswing, and it helps with overcoming the sway
2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.000
pattern.
3
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:10.000
So what you can do is you can take an elastic or a training band,
4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.000
and you can either, if you're doing this at home, it's very easy.
5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
You just stick it in the door or attach it to something very sturdy.
6
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.000
If you're doing this on the range, you want to take a shaft
7
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
and stick it into the ground far enough so that you have plenty of leverage.
8
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.210
If you can't get it into the ground far enough that you can pull away
9
00:00:26.210 --> 00:00:27.000
comfortably,
10
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.000
then it's just not worth the risk.
11
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.340
But what you want to do is have the line of pull at about mid thigh or just
12
00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:38.000
above your knee,
13
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.000
and then what will happen is as you make your backswing,
14
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.000
the band is going to want to pull me in the direction of my problem.
15
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.000
So it's going to pull me into my sway just like so.
16
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000
It's going to pull my pelvis and my weight to the outside of my foot,
17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.000
so I'm going to have to teach my body how to overcome that.
18
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.450
So I'm going to practice making backswings while keeping my weight on the
19
00:01:01.450 --> 00:01:02.000
inside
20
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.000
and not letting my knee drift laterally.
21
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.180
This is especially good for a feel learner because this is going to give you a
22
00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:10.000
strong sensation
23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.410
as to what it's like to actually load into the hip as opposed to shifting away
24
00:01:14.410 --> 00:01:15.000
from it.
25
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.000
So this is band resistance, band resistant sway,
26
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.460
and it will provide a real strong sensation for helping you overcome that sway
27
00:01:22.460 --> 00:01:23.000
pattern.
