1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.520
This drill is combo hip turn plus bracing.

2
00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:12.380
So combo drills are helping link together different elements.

3
00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:16.380
Sometimes you got to work on one thing at a time, but sometimes once you've

4
00:00:16.380 --> 00:00:16.880
worked on

5
00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:20.880
each piece, the real big breakthroughs come when you're combining movement.

6
00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:23.600
So in this one, it's a really good sequence drill.

7
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.040
It's a really good core activation drill, getting you to use your abs and your

8
00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:27.840
glutes,

9
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:32.400
and we're going to try to get the combination of hip rotation while getting

10
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:33.560
some glute squeeze.

11
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:40.970
So the main movements in the lower body in the downswing, there's a little bit

12
00:00:40.970 --> 00:00:42.040
of a bump,

13
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:44.960
there's some rotation, and then there's some vertical movement.

14
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.440
This is going to focus mostly on the second two.

15
00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:52.720
So we're not going to have very much of a kind of a shift, but we're going to

16
00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:52.720
focus

17
00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:59.920
mostly on blending rotation into some bridging or pelvic tilt.

18
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.910
So what we're going to do first is I've got the ball kind of in the middle of

19
00:01:03.910 --> 00:01:04.560
my stance

20
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.120
just as a little bit of a reference, and I'm going to take my hands and place

21
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:07.620
them on the

22
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:10.880
club just to take them out of the equation.

23
00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:15.400
So now what I'm going to try to do is I'm going to try to turn my belly button

24
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:15.840
or my

25
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.000
belt buckle while keeping my arms straight.

26
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.720
So if I feel like I'm doing this, I'm turning too much from my shoulders.

27
00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:24.120
So I'm just going to turn belly button and hips.

28
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.180
And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a little bit of a reverse

29
00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:27.800
crunch.

30
00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:31.810
So this was move number one, from the down the line you'll see move number two

31
00:01:31.810 --> 00:01:32.240
is that

32
00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:36.290
reverse crunch squeezing my butt, squeezing my abs, kind of getting that more

33
00:01:36.290 --> 00:01:37.040
turtle shell

34
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.040
position.

35
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.160
We're feeling like I'm pushing my belly button away from the golf ball.

36
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:44.800
So move number one, we're going to turn.

37
00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:50.100
Now watch when I do move number two of bridging, you'll see that that actually

38
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:50.880
moves my hips

39
00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:53.240
more in line with that left foot.

40
00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:57.960
So a lot of golfers who focus on getting rotation don't get that bridge.

41
00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:00.320
And so they stay behind kind of like this.

42
00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:03.470
And then some of the golfers when you're focusing on the bridge don't get the

43
00:02:03.470 --> 00:02:04.120
rotation.

44
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.920
And so you kind of thrust in towards the toes of the left foot like this.

45
00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:15.400
So getting a blended feel of turning and then tilt or pelvic tilting turn

46
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:16.640
pelvic tilt kind

47
00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:20.840
of gets these two moves to sync up.

48
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.140
It's really like a tight year, a slow motion version of the 360 jump feel where

49
00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:26.920
I'm getting

50
00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:30.120
rotation and tucking the pelvis.

51
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.280
So let's do it one more time because it feels good.

52
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.640
We're going to turn and then get that butt squeeze pelvic tilt ab crunch kind

53
00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:37.600
of all happening

54
00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:38.600
there.

55
00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:44.090
Now we're going to take the club, if we fixed the ball position turn and then

56
00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:44.680
tilt kind

57
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.980
of has that feeling there where I'm bracing, but my belly button is facing the

58
00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:50.640
target.

59
00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:54.310
So now we're going to do a little bit of a preset move and then a full on nine

60
00:02:54.310 --> 00:02:55.120
to three.

61
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.400
So preset move, I'm going to tilt and now squeeze, good.

62
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.460
And now from there, I'm just going to make a little backswing and then I'm

63
00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:03.120
going to feel

64
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.840
like I kind of do that movement a little bit more.

65
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:11.630
I didn't completely undo it, but I'm going to add a little bit of activation to

66
00:03:11.630 --> 00:03:12.720
that movement.

67
00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:16.710
So now I had a feeling of this bracing wall being turned, that squeezing of the

68
00:03:16.710 --> 00:03:17.280
butt and

69
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.040
abs wall being turned.

70
00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:22.460
Now we're going to do it in a full on nine to three.

71
00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:29.120
So I'm going to bring the club back, a little turn and squeeze.

72
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.040
Not too bad there.

73
00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:35.040
And this should help you feel like you're really using your lower body and your

74
00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:35.360
core

75
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.760
to hit the ball using a lot less arms.

76
00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:44.940
So I feel like my arms are just kind of riding my hip rotation.

77
00:03:44.940 --> 00:03:47.880
That was a really good one, nice ball flight there.

78
00:03:47.880 --> 00:03:51.400
That felt like, felt like the first couple where I hit a little clunky.

79
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:56.440
I was kind of feeling my shoulders wanting to get involved earlier.

80
00:03:56.440 --> 00:03:58.540
The second one, it felt like I let it with the hips.

81
00:03:58.540 --> 00:04:01.400
So the sequencing was a whole lot better.

82
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.800
Not sure what we'll see from the, from this camera view.

83
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.140
So now when I go to three quarter swings, I can still do it, or when I go kind

84
00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:09.720
of chest

85
00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:14.000
height, tend to twos, I can still do it right away.

86
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.560
So what that means is I can get up to the top of the swing of this three

87
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:18.640
quarter movement

88
00:04:18.640 --> 00:04:23.940
kind of like this, and then straight away from the beginning, I can turn and

89
00:04:23.940 --> 00:04:24.600
tilt right

90
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.480
away or turn and tuck right away, turn and tuck.

91
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:35.060
So three quarter swing, this is about the height in the golf swing, where the

92
00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:35.820
vertical

93
00:04:35.820 --> 00:04:39.680
movement starts to kick in, and so that's why I can do these right away.

94
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.300
Now when I go to the full swing up to the top, I'm going to have to wait a

95
00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:45.160
little bit

96
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.160
for the tuck.

97
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.460
So I can start to turn as I'm getting a little bit of this bump, so a little

98
00:04:51.460 --> 00:04:52.240
bit of that weight

99
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:57.540
shift turn, and now when the arms get to about that waist height, I want that

100
00:04:57.540 --> 00:04:58.160
same timing

101
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.600
of that tuck movement.

102
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.250
So this is where the sequence of these movements really comes into play, so I

103
00:05:03.250 --> 00:05:04.320
recommend starting

104
00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:07.400
with the nine to three, then ten to two, then up to the full swing.

105
00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:11.330
So now full swing, we're going to get a little bit of this feeling of just kind

106
00:05:11.330 --> 00:05:12.000
of waiting

107
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.320
for it, just a touch longer.

108
00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:21.060
So up to the top, there's a rhythm to it where it feels more like kind of

109
00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:22.960
stepping go, but

110
00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:25.840
in this case it's going to be step and tuck.

111
00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:31.140
So because we're focusing in this drill totally on the lower body, let's do one

112
00:05:31.140 --> 00:05:31.800
more, kind

113
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:40.160
of full swing, I'll go kind of my maximum length backswing turn, and then tuck.

114
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.740
Good really solid contact, feel that good bracing and leg extension, but while

115
00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:45.320
my belly

116
00:05:45.320 --> 00:05:48.630
button is turned, that combination is really going to help clean up and get you

117
00:05:48.630 --> 00:05:49.080
to power

118
00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:51.990
it with your hips and your core, as long as your release is good, you're going

119
00:05:51.990 --> 00:05:52.360
to get

120
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:57.170
some really solid, but shallow ground contact, a big movement for improving

121
00:05:57.170 --> 00:05:58.080
your overall

122
00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:59.200
ball striking consistency.
