00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.510
This drill is "Bounce the Shaft" so a member asked about a drill that they saw

2
00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:10.160
on another

3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.910
site and I actually liked the drill I just made a few adaptations to it that I

4
00:00:14.910 --> 00:00:15.520
think fits

5
00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:18.000
more into what I like to see.

6
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.920
So the drill is basically trying to get some speed into the club head and it's

7
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:24.840
about using

8
00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:30.760
the body powerfully but quicker so many golfers tend to use their body

9
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.480
especially with the

10
00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:37.420
driver kind of in a slow way and then they get all their speed coming more from

11
00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:37.920
their

12
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.090
arms and clubs and you can get arms and hands I should say and you can get some

13
00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:42.720
pretty good

14
00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:48.480
speed that way but it's nowhere near as effective as if you're using your body.

15
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:51.150
And so what we're going to do is we're going to split the hands to about

16
00:00:51.150 --> 00:00:51.960
shoulder with the

17
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.570
part and I recommend using a driver because it's got a little more weight and

18
00:00:55.570 --> 00:00:56.040
you can

19
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:59.190
see if I kind of bounce it up and down you can see that the club head has some

20
00:00:59.190 --> 00:00:59.640
wiggle

21
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.650
to it so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to keep this right arm into my

22
00:01:04.650 --> 00:01:05.360
side so I'm

23
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:09.570
kind of in a delivery position and then I'm going to go up to the top of the

24
00:01:09.570 --> 00:01:10.180
swing and

25
00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:18.030
I'm going to try and use my hips and my core to get this thing to bounce sooner

26
00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:18.760
or as much

27
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.740
as I can and earlier and earlier I want to avoid getting it to bounce just by

28
00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:24.240
kind of

29
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:30.160
pushing and snapping with my arms I want my arms to be somewhat firm but not

30
00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:30.880
creating

31
00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:35.900
a lot of this energy I want them to be transmitting the energy that's happening

32
00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:36.880
from the body

33
00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:42.980
so for most of you what will end up happening is you will go like this and the

34
00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:44.200
reflex action

35
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:49.340
will be you are applying the force too long so it's slow in the early part

36
00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:50.360
where we need

37
00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:55.290
to meet getting it fast I've also adapted this and if you have an orange whip

38
00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:55.720
at home

39
00:01:55.720 --> 00:02:02.000
this can exaggerate that bounciness so now I'm going to kind of brace my arms

40
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:02.640
again and

41
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.680
I'm really trying to get this feeling of kind of throwing the club head or the

42
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:09.600
orange whip

43
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:15.800
head but by using my body so now I've got this feeling of the body kind of

44
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:16.840
having more

45
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:22.220
of this bounciness early now what I can do is once when I feel the club in that

46
00:02:22.220 --> 00:02:22.880
bouncy

47
00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:28.020
shaft position right around here I'm now going to start continuing my or I'm

48
00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:28.680
going to start

49
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.810
my release and I'm going to take that bounciness and carry it all the way down

50
00:02:32.810 --> 00:02:33.280
through impact

51
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.490
so just to get that feel real fresh kind of like that and now we'll demo a

52
00:02:39.490 --> 00:02:40.400
couple with

53
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.320
the driver okay so now we'll demo a couple so as you start to do this with the

54
00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:46.760
driver

55
00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:52.260
you'll tend to feel a little bit more of this unweighting weighting release so

56
00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:53.000
you'll tend

57
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.440
to feel a little bit more of this vertical movement that can be helpful if you

58
00:02:56.440 --> 00:02:56.880
're kind

59
00:02:56.880 --> 00:03:03.020
of a slow slider which is common if you get more of the arm involved or if you

60
00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:03.780
are early

61
00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:11.110
extending because then it's an early movement I don't get nearly as much into

62
00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:12.240
the shaft as

63
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:17.450
if I stay down during that first phase so this will help you feel kind of the

64
00:03:17.450 --> 00:03:18.400
timing of the

65
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:23.540
movement and then the goal is that you can start to feel that timing in your

66
00:03:23.540 --> 00:03:24.240
hands and

67
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.380
as you get that maximum load in the shaft boom then you can start to apply the

68
00:03:28.380 --> 00:03:28.880
release

69
00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:32.570
to transfer that speed down into the club head now it is normal that when you

70
00:03:32.570 --> 00:03:33.320
're playing

71
00:03:33.320 --> 00:03:37.800
around with speed you'll lose some context you might want to spray the face in

72
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:38.240
order

73
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.590
to kind of calibrate what's going on ball flight wise or just don't worry about

74
00:03:42.590 --> 00:03:42.920
it too

75
00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:54.160
much and just grip it and rip it kind of like that
