00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.240
This drill is down the shaft for late shallowing.

2
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:11.680
So some golfers tend to be okay or reasonably okay at this point in the swing

3
00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:12.360
and then as

4
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:16.660
they get down more towards the release tend to get really steep down at the

5
00:00:16.660 --> 00:00:17.400
bottom.

6
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:21.120
Sometimes we lose sight of the path of where we might want the club to go.

7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.300
So what we're going to do is we're going to put a shaft in the ground and allow

8
00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:25.600
us to

9
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.360
trace it just to kind of feel this space.

10
00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:33.240
So what I'm going to do is whatever club I'm using I recommend a mid to short

11
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:34.000
iron it's

12
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.210
a little harder with the longer clubs but what I'm going to do is I'm basically

13
00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:39.720
going

14
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:45.320
to match the spine angle just like this but I'm going to put it back here.

15
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:50.120
So I've got to get it at about the right angle that will take a little bit of w

16
00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:51.360
iggle room.

17
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.080
So I'm going to or experimentation I should say.

18
00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:02.660
So I've got that in the ground roughly at the angle of the club just like that

19
00:01:02.660 --> 00:01:03.640
and now

20
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.000
I have to find ball position.

21
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.610
So you'll see this doesn't work for full swings but for nine to threes and

22
00:01:08.610 --> 00:01:09.460
working on that

23
00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:14.180
bottom of the swing now I can kind of get a sense of where that would swing and

24
00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:14.600
I can

25
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:18.000
see that's bottoming out right about here.

26
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:24.980
So I'm going to make sure that when I do this I'm not just using my arms but I

27
00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:26.080
'm getting

28
00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:30.640
a little bit of unhinged as my body is rotating.

29
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.880
So as a decent checkpoint in this start position I want my hips pointing out in

30
00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:35.640
front of the

31
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:40.450
golf ball and my chest pointing or my belly button pointing more at the golf

32
00:01:40.450 --> 00:01:41.120
ball.

33
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.720
So even though my shoulders are kind of still back in the club feels like it's

34
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:45.320
behind me

35
00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:49.810
my body is nice and open and then I'm feeling that first move kind of slide

36
00:01:49.810 --> 00:01:50.720
down just like

37
00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:57.420
so. Now you can actually make contact on these nine to threes though trust me

38
00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:58.480
you're probably

39
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:05.660
going to bottom out behind the golf ball for the first dozen or hundred that

40
00:02:05.660 --> 00:02:06.160
you try.

41
00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:11.310
But allowing you to feel that shallowing happening more from the ulnar

42
00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:12.360
deviation as

43
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.940
my body is rotating through so there was a little late with the body that was

44
00:02:17.940 --> 00:02:18.560
not too

45
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.900
bad with the arms but a little late with the body so I hit it a little bit fat.

46
00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:28.660
So there's kind of that body a little bit better like I said finding low point

47
00:02:28.660 --> 00:02:29.040
on this

48
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:34.180
drill is very challenging. But then what I can do is I can instead of putting

49
00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:34.560
it where

50
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:39.180
I would slide it down the shaft now I'm just going to move the ball an extra

51
00:02:39.180 --> 00:02:41.040
couple inches

52
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:47.090
and so now I'm going to visually kind of feel like the club is going more down

53
00:02:47.090 --> 00:02:47.920
through that

54
00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:52.560
space as my body brings it through. This is not a drill that everyone needs but

55
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:52.920
if you

56
00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:58.150
have the tendency to get really on top of it and get steep late this can be a

57
00:02:58.150 --> 00:02:58.840
really

58
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.630
eye opener for you. The two main ways that you're going to get the club to go

59
00:03:02.630 --> 00:03:03.000
down the

60
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:07.880
shaft are having a little bit of the Jackson 5 or side tilt or having more of

61
00:03:07.880 --> 00:03:08.720
that ulnar

62
00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:14.040
deviation. You can look at video and kind of see which one you might need to

63
00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:15.000
successfully

64
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.720
execute it but this helps you define the space and get used to where the path

65
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:19.380
of the club

66
00:03:19.380 --> 00:03:27.400
is going to be during the 9-3 kind of coming from that delivery position down

67
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:28.400
to impact.

68
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.450
You can potentially put up a second stick on the outside but I find it's a

69
00:03:34.450 --> 00:03:35.240
little bit

70
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.420
harder to visualize that one and it's a lot harder to position it exactly

71
00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:40.360
correct. So

72
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.730
I tend to use more of this delivery side when working on this downswing late

73
00:03:44.730 --> 00:03:45.560
steepening

74
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:50.080
movement. Again, ulnar deviation and side bend will help you with it but make

75
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:50.620
sure you

76
00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:54.850
still have some body sequence to lead the arms. Don't just do this shallowing

77
00:03:54.850 --> 00:03:55.360
movement

78
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:56.160
all with the arms.
