1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.600
This drill is connecting the two sides of sequencing.

2
00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:14.720
So golfers are always trying to get into a better impact position.

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.050
One of the common things that I'll hear are either, "Oh, you know, I really

4
00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:18.520
need to get

5
00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:24.580
my body more open, or I need to get my hands more ahead, that I'm just kind of

6
00:00:24.580 --> 00:00:25.440
stalling

7
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.080
and throwing with my arms."

8
00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:29.920
Well, there's two sides to that equation.

9
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.080
So if you're working on one and it's not working, you can always work on the

10
00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:33.640
other.

11
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.480
Ultimately, you'll probably have a feeling of one from each side and they'll

12
00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:38.800
blend together.

13
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.450
The two sides are basically getting my body to lead longer, or feeling my arms

14
00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:45.160
keep the

15
00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:47.320
club back longer.

16
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.640
It's the same relationship.

17
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:55.600
If I get into this kind of impact position, and then I was to just stand up and

18
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:56.360
undo some

19
00:00:56.360 --> 00:00:59.760
of that rotation, the club is way back here.

20
00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:05.880
So if my mind's concept or my brain's concept is that the club is going to be

21
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:07.080
like this at

22
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:11.040
impact, well, there's no way I could get my body to be open.

23
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.130
In order to get my body to be open, I have to have a feeling of the arms being

24
00:01:15.130 --> 00:01:16.120
more behind,

25
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:17.920
or the club being more behind.

26
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.120
That often happens from either feeling like the left arm is a little bit more

27
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:21.720
across or

28
00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:26.010
high kind of blocking because if this arm pulls down, that tends to bring the

29
00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:26.720
club more in

30
00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:31.320
front of my chest, or this will feel like the right arm is more in, or the

31
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:32.280
right wrist

32
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.420
is in more extension, kind of more of that shot put feel where the club is back

33
00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:37.600
sort of

34
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:39.000
like this.

35
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.130
But if I'm doing this and then my body tends to solve, then I need to go at

36
00:01:43.130 --> 00:01:44.640
more the complementary

37
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.780
piece, which the complementary piece to the arms being back is if the arms are

38
00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:50.120
back, now

39
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:55.930
if I turn my lower body and my belly button and my chest, but my shoulders are

40
00:01:55.930 --> 00:01:56.920
still square,

41
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:04.120
if I turn my body, that brings those arms that are behind me to the golf ball.

42
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.430
So if that's the case, then I have to feel more, the arms are staying back, but

43
00:02:08.430 --> 00:02:09.040
the hips

44
00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:12.960
and the body are pointing more towards the target.

45
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.310
In addition, as they're pointing more towards the target, they're going to be

46
00:02:16.310 --> 00:02:16.840
going more

47
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.820
into the side bend and ultimately into this extension on the way through.

48
00:02:21.820 --> 00:02:27.400
If I don't have either of those pieces, they're probably not going to work in

49
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:28.600
isolation.

50
00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:33.110
So when I do these merry-go-round drills, some days I'll feel more like the

51
00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:33.680
arms are

52
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:39.790
pinned or behind, and some days I'll feel more like a stretch on this side or

53
00:02:39.790 --> 00:02:40.680
this lead

54
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.920
hip is turned or something relating to getting the body going soon.

55
00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:50.980
So today, if I was to do a nine to three, I'm going to feel that combination

56
00:02:50.980 --> 00:02:51.880
mostly of

57
00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:52.880
that left side.

58
00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:57.440
That's what I was feeling today, but I'm going to add a little bit of a feeling

59
00:02:57.440 --> 00:02:59.080
of the arms

60
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:03.360
keeping the club back and leg a little bit longer.

61
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.910
And so that one, I felt like I was my body pulling away from my arms, but some

62
00:03:07.910 --> 00:03:08.400
days I'm

63
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.600
going to feel more the arms working back.

64
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:18.830
So if you're struggling with seeing your body open at impact, and you're seeing

65
00:03:18.830 --> 00:03:19.560
more of

66
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.580
these arms kind of throwing, you have two different directions you can go,

67
00:03:22.580 --> 00:03:23.240
either work

68
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.600
on getting the pivot better, getting the body to lead, but in order to do so,

69
00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:28.240
you're going

70
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.880
to also have to feel like the arms stay back.

71
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:36.070
Usually one thought from each of those two buckets will ultimately help you

72
00:03:36.070 --> 00:03:36.480
decode or

73
00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:41.930
break down what's causing you to have more of this early release stall, not

74
00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:42.560
more of the

75
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.880
amateur body impact position.

76
00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:47.970
So having one from each will ultimately give you a pretty good feeling that you

77
00:03:47.970 --> 00:03:48.480
can build

78
00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:53.040
into a little bit better merry-go-round or a little bit better impact position.

79
00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:56.310
So don't get too frustrated if you're struggling with one area or the other,

80
00:03:56.310 --> 00:03:57.160
you're probably

81
00:03:57.160 --> 00:04:00.350
going to have to go back and forth and find a couple of fields for the arms,

82
00:04:00.350 --> 00:04:00.920
hopefully

83
00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:05.060
just one, a couple of fields for the body, again, ultimately, hopefully just

84
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:05.640
one, and

85
00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:12.280
then trying to execute the two of those fields together, like more like that.

86
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:20.040
And that will ultimately help you build your tour quality impact position.
