This drill is the crossbody uppercut. So the

1
00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:11.200
crossbody uppercut is a great pivot drill.

2
00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:14.800
It's one of my current favorites for tying together a handful

3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.500
of key Concepts. So there's sometimes where

4
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.400
you have to really isolate something like what's going on at the foot or

5
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:23.400
what's going on at the hips or the spine or the the arms

6
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:26.700
the crossbody uppercut is kind of a pivot drill that

7
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:29.100
blends together a bunch of

8
00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:32.700
the key body pivot downswing parts.

9
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:35.400
So we're gonna focus on getting into a

10
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:38.500
really firm bracing or a firm left foot.

11
00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:41.300
We're gonna focus on getting that weight shift going forward,

12
00:00:41.300 --> 00:00:44.400
but we're also going to focus on using our

13
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:47.500
obliques and going into some really

14
00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.300
good spine movement or getting

15
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:53.000
your shoulders to turn on a really good tilt. So

16
00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:58.100
It's a really simple drill on on paper. Just kind

17
00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:00.300
of take some practice for blending it

18
00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:03.200
into a swing movement. So for the crossbody Upper Hutt

19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.400
I'm gonna get in my golf posture and I'm gonna imagine that

20
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.200
there's a punching bag kind of vertically right here.

21
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.200
Okay. So I've got a little platform here. And what

22
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.600
I'm going to do is I'm going to rotate around my

23
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:19.600
body and I'm gonna be delivering an uppercut across

24
00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:21.300
my body as if the

25
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:25.300
punting bag was right there. So what you'll see is intuitively

26
00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:27.200
or naturally to do this. I'm going

27
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.200
to be shifting into that front foot. So I'm

28
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.600
getting my pelvis over that front side, but I'm

29
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:37.000
not keeping my upper body Flex forward. I'm rotating

30
00:01:36.100 --> 00:01:39.500
it and going into extension. So when I

31
00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:43.100
finish into this kind of full body finish my chest

32
00:01:42.100 --> 00:01:46.000
is pointing up and my my

33
00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:48.400
back or my spine is in a little bit of

34
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.100
extension just like this, but I'm I'm forward

35
00:01:51.100 --> 00:01:53.600
oftentimes what

36
00:01:54.300 --> 00:01:57.900
Is golfer's working on getting onto this front foot. We'll tend

37
00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:00.100
to kind of stay forward or do too much

38
00:02:00.100 --> 00:02:03.700
of an upper body lunge. Some golfers working on getting into extension

39
00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:06.300
will kind of hang back and do movements like

40
00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:09.400
this. So the crossbody uppercut if you

41
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.100
were to take your arms out of it gives you a really good

42
00:02:12.100 --> 00:02:14.400
feel of what your body should be doing.

43
00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:18.900
Once I've done a few where I'm feeling like that that arm

44
00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:22.000
is involved the big problem here is that's

45
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:24.500
not really what the shoulders are gonna be doing. So the next

46
00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:27.400
step to that drill is I'm going to put the arms across my

47
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.400
my body like this and I'm gonna feel like I do that same

48
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.200
movement now when I do it this way, I'm gonna

49
00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:36.700
be able to feel like the shoulder Works more in front of coming

50
00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:39.300
around and driving the movement. So this is

51
00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:42.800
much more of a body driven movement rather than

52
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.200
a shoulder movement as if I was throwing the

53
00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:45.600
punch.

54
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:50.100
Although a good punch would be driven more from the body,

55
00:02:50.100 --> 00:02:53.100
but you'll see what I mean when you try it. So then the next

56
00:02:53.100 --> 00:02:56.700
step is adding the club. So now I'm going to do this

57
00:02:56.700 --> 00:02:59.800
little crossbody feel and then I'm

58
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.100
going to put my arms out just above

59
00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:05.500
kind of a nine to three. So you'll

60
00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.500
see that they're still out in front of my chest. My chest is pointing upward

61
00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:11.300
one common issue with

62
00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:14.700
golfers who tend to have more of kind of a stall Flip

63
00:03:14.700 --> 00:03:17.500
or chicken wing is that the chest stays pointing

64
00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:20.700
down too long? And so the arms have to pass the

65
00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:23.600
chest in order to go up and when they pass the chest that arm

66
00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:26.200
is gonna tend to bend so if I do this

67
00:03:27.100 --> 00:03:30.300
Uppercut feel my chest is pointing more up towards

68
00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:33.200
the sky, but I feel my my abs and my glutes supporting

69
00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:36.200
me so I'm not kind of hyper extending my back.

70
00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:37.900
I'm in this good position.

71
00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:41.400
Trying to get there. So then I'm

72
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.100
gonna do some more nine to threes ten to twos

73
00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:47.400
are kind of Evie easy swings feeling like I get

74
00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:52.600
into that position and then I can take it off. I'm a

75
00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:55.700
little bit behind right about there would have been let's say

76
00:03:55.700 --> 00:03:56.300
perfect.

77
00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:00.900
The other thing that this can be really good for comboing is

78
00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:03.400
if I tend to have a big upper body

79
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:04.100
shift off the ball.

80
00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:08.200
This can help me feel like I can shallow it out while staying more on

81
00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:11.500
top of the golf ball. So when the

82
00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:14.600
classic patterns for golfers who don't get a whole lot of extension on

83
00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:17.300
either side is they stay flexed and

84
00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:20.800
therefore the upper body tends to rotate or the lower

85
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.200
body has to accommodate that upper

86
00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:26.500
body staying bent over. So what'll often

87
00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:29.800
happen is golfers who don't have a whole lot of this extension on

88
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.200
the way through they're gonna have more of

89
00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:35.100
an upper body drift when they come through. So they'll have a little

90
00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:38.100
bit more of an upper body sway kind of

91
00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:39.000
like that. So,

92
00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:44.300
That would be more like throwing a hook rather

93
00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:45.900
than an upper cut.

94
00:04:46.900 --> 00:04:49.900
So to feel this uppercut feel I can exaggerate

95
00:04:49.900 --> 00:04:52.500
feeling like my upper body stays more

96
00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:55.200
on top of it or feel like I get a little bit more of that

97
00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:56.200
left side crunch.

98
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.500
So I I'm you're mostly

99
00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:04.100
going to be using this in nine to three ten to twos where you

100
00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:04.500
can stop.

101
00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:09.500
And check that finished position. So that was

102
00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:10.000
a little bit.

103
00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:13.200
More back than I would want. Let's see if we can get one

104
00:05:13.200 --> 00:05:16.500
really good one where I feel like I let those

105
00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:18.400
arms lag just a little bit more.

106
00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:24.600
Kind of like that. That was a pretty pretty good body feel there.

107
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.500
So like I said, this is one of my favorites for

108
00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:30.200
kind of blending the rotational movement of

109
00:05:30.200 --> 00:05:33.100
the body with the movement of the

110
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:36.000
spine. The only thing you have to then add is the arms. This is

111
00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:39.400
a great way to blend your overall pivot during the release.
