00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.880
This drill is the advanced version of brush the ground.
2
00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:06.870
So in the advanced version of brush the ground, we're going to try to focus on
3
00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:07.520
some of these
4
00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:11.120
details that help me with getting the club to brush.
5
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.690
So in recap, I'm basically trying to get the club to make contact with the
6
00:00:16.690 --> 00:00:17.600
ground and
7
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:23.550
then travel along the ground and kind of low to the ground from just ahead of
8
00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:23.920
the middle
9
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.880
of my stance to about where my left foot is.
10
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:30.680
That'll vary slightly depending on what club you're swinging, but I'm trying to
11
00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:30.840
get this
12
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:34.780
long flat spot and this good brush of the ground and then just let the golf
13
00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:35.320
ball get
14
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:36.320
in the way.
15
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.490
So the big factors that are going to relate to this are going to be the timing
16
00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:41.460
and direction
17
00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:47.720
of my arm release as well as how my release is being triggered.
18
00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:53.670
So ultimately what should happen is that release, so once I get to about here,
19
00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:54.960
should be triggered
20
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.340
by that left leg kind of pushing up which causes that some of this side bend
21
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:02.000
kind of
22
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.400
like so.
23
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:08.620
And then the more that my arms release out like this, straight out in front of
24
00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:09.360
my chest,
25
00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:15.310
the more that I'm going to have to stand up or lunge or something along those
26
00:01:15.310 --> 00:01:15.840
lines
27
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.400
in order to not hit behind the golf ball.
28
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.000
So if I'm doing more of this wipe where I get to about here and then that right
29
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:23.280
arm
30
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.210
is working more across my body instead of straight out, it's going to cause
31
00:01:30.210 --> 00:01:31.280
different
32
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.080
locations as far as where I'm making contact with the ground.
33
00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:42.030
Also the more that my body has turned, both my lower body and my chest, then
34
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:43.000
when my arms
35
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.950
go to extend, in general, that's going to move that location of the brush
36
00:01:48.950 --> 00:01:50.000
further forward
37
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.120
or further closer to the target.
38
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.050
So as you're working on this brush, you can focus on the different pieces that
39
00:01:57.050 --> 00:01:57.580
you may
40
00:01:57.580 --> 00:02:00.780
be working on in release.
41
00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:05.730
Now understand that that shaft, shallowing during transition is going to affect
42
00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:06.200
how your
43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.240
release looks really significantly.
44
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.840
But ultimately, if I'm training that release pattern coming more from the
45
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:15.960
inside, having
46
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.820
that body rotation and those arms extending, this is what's going to allow me
47
00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:21.320
to get a
48
00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:24.280
very good brush pattern.
49
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.560
So the club will stay low to the ground for a long period of time and brush
50
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:28.120
ahead of the
51
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.000
middle of your stance.
52
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.280
Play around with that if you ever get lost with contact.
53
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.320
The common tendency is you're going to hit the ball off to the right.
54
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:40.700
That means that I probably have to either focus on the motorcycle or if that's
55
00:02:40.700 --> 00:02:41.120
one too
56
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:45.200
many things to focus on, just simply strengthen your grip a few degrees.
57
00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:49.900
So play around with this any time that you get lost, get back to the basics of
58
00:02:49.900 --> 00:02:50.320
how is
59
00:02:50.320 --> 00:02:52.360
the club contacting with the ground.
60
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:56.260
Once you have that in place, then you can revisit some of these internal
61
00:02:56.260 --> 00:02:57.320
focuses of what
62
00:02:57.320 --> 00:02:59.600
the body is actually doing in order to make this work.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.880
This drill is the advanced version of brush the ground.

00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:06.870

or further closer to the target.
38
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.050
So as you're working on this brush, you can focus on the different pieces that
39
00:01:57.050 --> 00:01:57.580
you may
40
00:01:57.580 --> 00:02:00.780
be working on in release.
41
00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:05.730
Now understand that that shaft, shallowing during transition is going to affect
42
00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:06.200
how your
43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.240
release looks really significantly.

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.560
So the club will stay low to the ground for a long period of time and brush
50
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:28.120
ahead of the
51
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.000
middle of your stance.
52
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.280
Play around with that if you ever get lost with contact.
53
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.320
The common tendency is you're going to hit the ball off to the right.
54
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:40.700
That means that I probably have to either focus on the motorcycle or if that's
55
00:02:40.700 --> 00:02:41.120
one too
56
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:45.200
many things to focus on, just simply strengthen your grip a few degrees.
57
00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:49.900
So play around with this any time that you get lost, get back to the basics of
58
00:02:49.900 --> 00:02:50.320
how is
59
00:02:50.320 --> 00:02:52.360
the club contacting with the ground.
60
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:56.260
Once you have that in place, then you can revisit some of these internal
61
00:02:56.260 --> 00:02:57.320
focuses of what
62
00:02:57.320 --> 00:02:59.600
the body is actually doing in order to make this work.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.880
This drill is the advanced version of brush the ground.
2
00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:06.870
So in the advanced version of brush the ground, we're going to try to focus on
3
00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:07.520
some of these
4
00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:11.120
details that help me with getting the club to brush.
5
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.690
So in recap, I'm basically trying to get the club to make contact with the
6
00:00:16.690 --> 00:00:17.600
ground and
7
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:23.550
then travel along the ground and kind of low to the ground from just ahead of
8
00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:23.920
the middle
9
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.880
of my stance to about where my left foot is.
10
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:30.680
That'll vary slightly depending on what club you're swinging, but I'm trying to
11
00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:30.840
get this
12
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:34.780
long flat spot and this good brush of the ground and then just let the golf
13
00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:35.320
ball get
14
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:36.320
in the way.
15
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.490
So the big factors that are going to relate to this are going to be the timing
16
00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:41.460
and direction
17
00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:47.720
of my arm release as well as how my release is being triggered.
18
00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:53.670
So ultimately what should happen is that release, so once I get to about here,
19
00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:54.960
should be triggered
20
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.340
by that left leg kind of pushing up which causes that some of this side bend
21
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:02.000
kind of
22
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.400
like so.
23
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:08.620
And then the more that my arms release out like this, straight out in front of
24
00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:09.360
my chest,
25
00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:15.310
the more that I'm going to have to stand up or lunge or something along those
26
00:01:15.310 --> 00:01:15.840
lines
27
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.400
in order to not hit behind the golf ball.
28
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.000
So if I'm doing more of this wipe where I get to about here and then that right
29
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:23.280
arm
30
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.210
is working more across my body instead of straight out, it's going to cause
31
00:01:30.210 --> 00:01:31.280
different
32
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.080
locations as far as where I'm making contact with the ground.
33
00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:42.030
Also the more that my body has turned, both my lower body and my chest, then
34
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:43.000
when my arms
35
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.950
go to extend, in general, that's going to move that location of the brush
36
00:01:48.950 --> 00:01:50.000
further forward
37
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.120
or further closer to the target.
38
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.050
So as you're working on this brush, you can focus on the different pieces that
39
00:01:57.050 --> 00:01:57.580
you may
40
00:01:57.580 --> 00:02:00.780
be working on in release.
41
00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:05.730
Now understand that that shaft, shallowing during transition is going to affect
42
00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:06.200
how your
43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.240
release looks really significantly.
44
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.840
But ultimately, if I'm training that release pattern coming more from the
45
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:15.960
inside, having
46
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.820
that body rotation and those arms extending, this is what's going to allow me
47
00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:21.320
to get a
48
00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:24.280
very good brush pattern.
49
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.560
So the club will stay low to the ground for a long period of time and brush
50
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:28.120
ahead of the
51
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.000
middle of your stance.
52
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.280
Play around with that if you ever get lost with contact.
53
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.320
The common tendency is you're going to hit the ball off to the right.
54
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:40.700
That means that I probably have to either focus on the motorcycle or if that's
55
00:02:40.700 --> 00:02:41.120
