00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
This drill is called the butt fingerprint and this is to help those of you who

2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:08.720
early extend. Now if you remember from the description video early extension is

3
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.960
when on the downswing your lower body moves in towards the golf ball and your

4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.600
upper body backs up like so. Now often we're just very unaware of where our

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.880
pelvis is because frankly we don't have a lot of sense of nerve endings that

6
00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:22.120
tell

7
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.640
us where it is the way that we do with our hands and our upper body. So you're

8
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.880
going to take an object. The most common one you'll be able to use is going to

9
00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:36.760
be a wall but this is a simple just electrical covering you can get at or

10
00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:40.440
plumbing pieces you can get at Home Depot in the end of a shaft and it works

11
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:47.200
pretty well. So you're going to set up so that your butt is just your fingers

12
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.720
width away from this apparatus or from a wall. If you're practicing at home you

13
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:55.320
can just use a wall and not hit golf balls but if you take if you create

14
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.440
something like this then you can use it when you're actually hitting balls. So

15
00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:03.320
the first progression in it is to take your arms and place them across your

16
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:08.720
shoulders and just practice going to that follow-through position keeping your

17
00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:13.360
butt up against the wall. Now if you remember from when you got your first

18
00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:16.640
job and you had to have your fingerprints taken you're not going to

19
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.000
just smush your thumb up against the wall you're actually going to roll from

20
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.120
your right butt cheek to your left butt cheek. So you're going to go to the top

21
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.480
of your swing so that your right butt is up against the wall and then you're

22
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.600
going to roll along the wall just like you're doing a little butt fingerprint.

23
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:38.200
So the first progression again is with just your arms or sorry your arms

24
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.480
across your chest using just your body make a little backswing so you're right

25
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:45.640
his hip is up against the wall and then go to your follow-through position so

26
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.520
that your left hip is up against the wall but then as you get more comfortable

27
00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:55.880
you can try to take little nine to three swings like you've been doing go right

28
00:01:55.880 --> 00:02:02.960
butt cheek to left butt cheek right butt cheek to left butt cheek and you can

29
00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:06.640
actually hit balls and use this as a little bit of feedback even in slow-mo

30
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:11.040
swings those of you that early extend will get the sensation that your butt

31
00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:14.840
has left the wall and you'll lose that tactile feel. So you can practice this

32
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:15.040
as

33
00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.080
a good kind of feel awareness of where your pelvis should maintain during the

34
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.400
golf swing.
