Improve Your Downswing Timing with the Rewind Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Feel how to engage your core muscles for a more powerful downswing
- Understand the importance of keeping your arms connected throughout the swing
- Recognize the differences in your swing when using body rotation instead of arm strength
In this video, you'll learn the full downswing rewind drill that helps you transition smoothly from impact to the top of your swing while minimizing arm movement. This drill is essential for developing a body-driven downswing and improving your overall swing mechanics.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.560
This drill is the full downswing rewind, also known as rewind to the top.
2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.080
But we're going to try to rewind from impact to the top of the swing, doing as
3
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:16.720
little with
4
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.220
our arms as we can.
5
00:00:18.220 --> 00:00:22.900
So many of you know that you want to power the downswing with your body and a
6
00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:23.360
lot of
7
00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:26.600
problems happen when you're doing it too much with your arms.
8
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.940
And this rewind drill, or kind of playing with the timing of the movements, can
9
00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:31.800
help trigger
10
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.160
some light bulbs or some new feelings.
11
00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:36.960
So we're going to work backward from impact.
12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.960
So we're going to get set up.
13
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.080
And if you need to do a backswing to get to your impact position, that's fine.
14
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:46.720
But ideally this would build off of an impact fix.
15
00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:50.650
So the impact fix version would be I'd start it set up, and then I'd go to
16
00:00:50.650 --> 00:00:51.480
where I want
17
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:52.680
to be at impact.
18
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:57.020
Today right now it feels like that, and then I'm going to go up to the top of
19
00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:57.880
the swing,
20
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.430
trying to do as little change between where my arms are there at impact and
21
00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:03.160
where they
22
00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:04.820
are at the top.
23
00:01:04.820 --> 00:01:09.390
Now in the swing there is going to be some small movements, but this drill can
24
00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:09.920
kind of
25
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:14.360
highlight how your shoulders will stay a little bit more connected.
26
00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:22.360
The wrist might be a little bit more stable or stiff or flat for a lot of you.
27
00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:26.980
This is especially powerful for people who tend to have more of a big kind of
28
00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:27.680
pull down
29
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.840
or a transition where their arms are powering the swing.
30
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.140
I use this a lot as kind of a way to wake up the feeling of the core muscles,
31
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:37.380
bringing
32
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:41.130
the arms through the downswing instead of the arm muscles, bringing the club
33
00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:41.640
through
34
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:42.800
the downswing.
35
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:43.800
So here we go.
36
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.040
We're going to go to set up, and we're going to do the full version.
37
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.130
So I'm going to go up to the top of the swing, and then I'm going to make a
38
00:01:51.130 --> 00:01:51.840
downswing and
39
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.200
I'm going to get to where I would want to be at impact.
40
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.990
Now I'm going to try to freeze my shoulders and my arms, so I'm not going to
41
00:01:56.990 --> 00:01:57.400
let them
42
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.460
move compared to my body, and now I'm just going to unwind my hips and my core
43
00:02:01.460 --> 00:02:01.920
back to
44
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.240
the top, kind of pump that a couple of times, and then I can go through.
45
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.550
So I'm going to go up to the top, and I'm going to try to get from the top of
46
00:02:10.550 --> 00:02:11.200
the swing
47
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:12.960
to impact.
48
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.450
Now we'll see that as I do these, there will be some little tendencies might
49
00:02:17.450 --> 00:02:18.280
hit, might
50
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.580
have some low point issues, might have some club face issues, but I really use
51
00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:22.080
this more
52
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.580
as a sequencing drill to kind of take out some of the arm pull from the top of
53
00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:28.720
the swing.
54
00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:30.160
So let's try that again.
55
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:31.960
We'll do the impact fixed version.
56
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.320
So I'm just going to go impact.
57
00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:37.750
I'm going to go up to the top of the swing, and then that was a little bit
58
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:39.000
better there.
59
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.840
So from the top of the swing, try to get right back down to impact.
60
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.150
So this can be a really eye opening drill for a lot of you have either an arm
61
00:02:49.150 --> 00:02:49.760
dominant
62
00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:53.920
transition pattern, or the release starts a little bit too soon.
63
00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:57.540
So it'll help people who tend to pull down here, and it'll help people who tend
64
00:02:57.540 --> 00:02:58.000
to kind
65
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.180
of stall and throw the arms there, because in order to keep the arms more
66
00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:04.280
stable or consistent
67
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.650
through there, I have to use my core and my body during the early part of the
68
00:03:07.650 --> 00:03:08.120
release
69
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.520
a little bit longer.
70
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.960
So try that if you're struggling with getting a little too arm dominant in your
71
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:13.480
swing.
72
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:15.920
Next we'll do a little nine to three version.
73
00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:16.920
So I'm just going to go here.
74
00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:21.880
I'm going to do like a kind of a half or three quarter backswing.
75
00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:25.450
Try to get right back to there without changing my arms, kind of focusing on
76
00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:26.320
using the core.
77
00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:28.080
That felt really solid.
78
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.720
Love that feel.
79
00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:32.800
So now let's try it one more time.
80
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.880
This time we're going to do all the way up to a full backswing.
81
00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:38.840
Kind of rehearse that a few times.
82
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:46.020
Okay, so we're at impact up to the top, let the arms go just a little bit there
83
00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:46.480
.
84
00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:50.330
Felt a little different kind of weight distribution, like I wasn't quite in
85
00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:51.320
balance to keep my
86
00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:52.320
core going.
87
00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:53.480
Let's try it one more time.
88
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.440
So we're going to go impact up to the top, down to impact, now up to the top,
89
00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:01.440
that was
90
00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:02.440
a good one right there.
91
00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:07.520
A good feeling for the core, hopefully it'll last for the week.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.560
This drill is the full downswing rewind, also known as rewind to the top.
2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.080
But we're going to try to rewind from impact to the top of the swing, doing as
3
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:16.720
little with
4
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.220
our arms as we can.
5
00:00:18.220 --> 00:00:22.900
So many of you know that you want to power the downswing with your body and a
6
00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:23.360
lot of
7
00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:26.600
problems happen when you're doing it too much with your arms.
8
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.940
And this rewind drill, or kind of playing with the timing of the movements, can
9
00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:31.800
help trigger
10
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.160
some light bulbs or some new feelings.
11
00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:36.960
So we're going to work backward from impact.
12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.960
So we're going to get set up.
13
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.080
And if you need to do a backswing to get to your impact position, that's fine.
14
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:46.720
But ideally this would build off of an impact fix.

00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:50.650
So the impact fix version would be I'd start it set up, and then I'd go to
16
00:00:50.650 --> 00:00:51.480
where I want
17
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:52.680
to be at impact.
18
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:57.020
Today right now it feels like that, and then I'm going to go up to the top of
19
00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:57.880
the swing,
20
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.430
trying to do as little change between where my arms are there at impact and
21
00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:03.160
where they
22
00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:04.820
are at the top.
23
00:01:04.820 --> 00:01:09.390
Now in the swing there is going to be some small movements, but this drill can
24
00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:09.920
kind of
25
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:14.360
highlight how your shoulders will stay a little bit more connected.
26
00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:22.360
The wrist might be a little bit more stable or stiff or flat for a lot of you.
27
00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:26.980
This is especially powerful for people who tend to have more of a big kind of
28
00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:27.680
pull down
29
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.840
or a transition where their arms are powering the swing.

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:37.380

the arms through the downswing instead of the arm muscles, bringing the club
33
00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:41.640
through
34
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:42.800
the downswing.
35
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:43.800
So here we go.
36
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.040
We're going to go to set up, and we're going to do the full version.
37
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.130
So I'm going to go up to the top of the swing, and then I'm going to make a
38
00:01:51.130 --> 00:01:51.840
downswing and
39
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.200
I'm going to get to where I would want to be at impact.
40
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.990
Now I'm going to try to freeze my shoulders and my arms, so I'm not going to
41
00:01:56.990 --> 00:01:57.400
let them
42
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.460
move compared to my body, and now I'm just going to unwind my hips and my core
43
00:02:01.460 --> 00:02:01.920
back to
44
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.240
the top, kind of pump that a couple of times, and then I can go through.
45
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.550
So I'm going to go up to the top, and I'm going to try to get from the top of
46
00:02:10.550 --> 00:02:11.200
the swing
47
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:12.960
to impact.
48
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.450
Now we'll see that as I do these, there will be some little tendencies might
49
00:02:17.450 --> 00:02:18.280
hit, might
50
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.580
have some low point issues, might have some club face issues, but I really use
51
00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:22.080
this more
52
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.580
as a sequencing drill to kind of take out some of the arm pull from the top of

the swing.
54
00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:30.160
So let's try that again.
55
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:31.960
We'll do the impact fixed version.
56
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.320
So I'm just going to go impact.
57
00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:37.750
I'm going to go up to the top of the swing, and then that was a little bit
58
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:39.000
better there.
59
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.840

transition pattern, or the release starts a little bit too soon.
63
00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:57.540
So it'll help people who tend to pull down here, and it'll help people who tend
64
00:02:57.540 --> 00:02:58.000
to kind
65
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.180
of stall and throw the arms there, because in order to keep the arms more
66
00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:04.280
stable or consistent
67
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.650
through there, I have to use my core and my body during the early part of the
68
00:03:07.650 --> 00:03:08.120
release
69
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.520
a little bit longer.
70
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.960
So try that if you're struggling with getting a little too arm dominant in your
71
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:13.480
swing.
72
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:15.920
Next we'll do a little nine to three version.
73
00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:16.920
So I'm just going to go here.
74
00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:21.880
I'm going to do like a kind of a half or three quarter backswing.
75
00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:25.450
Try to get right back to there without changing my arms, kind of focusing on
76
00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:26.320
using the core.
77
00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:28.080
That felt really solid.
78
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.720
Love that feel.
79
00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:32.800
So now let's try it one more time.
80
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.880
This time we're going to do all the way up to a full backswing.
81
00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:38.840
Kind of rehearse that a few times.
82
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:46.020
Okay, so we're at impact up to the top, let the arms go just a little bit there
83
00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:46.480
.
84
00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:50.330
Felt a little different kind of weight distribution, like I wasn't quite in
85
00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:51.320
balance to keep my
86
00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:52.320
core going.
87
00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:53.480
Let's try it one more time.
88
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.440
So we're going to go impact up to the top, down to impact, now up to the top,
89
00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:01.440
that was
90
00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:02.440
a good one right there.
91
00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:07.520
A good feeling for the core, hopefully it'll last for the week.

Improve Your Downswing Timing with the Rewind Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Feel how to engage your core muscles for a more powerful downswing
- Understand the importance of keeping your arms connected throughout the swing
- Recognize the differences in your swing when using body rotation instead of arm strength
In this video, you'll learn the full downswing rewind drill that helps you transition smoothly from impact to the top of your swing while minimizing arm movement. This drill is essential for developing a body-driven downswing and improving your overall swing mechanics.

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.560
This drill is the full downswing rewind, also known as rewind to the top.
2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.080
But we're going to try to rewind from impact to the top of the swing, doing as
3
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:16.720
little with
4
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.220
our arms as we can.
5
00:00:18.220 --> 00:00:22.900
So many of you know that you want to power the downswing with your body and a
6
00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:23.360
lot of
7
00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:26.600
problems happen when you're doing it too much with your arms.
8
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.940
And this rewind drill, or kind of playing with the timing of the movements, can
9
00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:31.800
help trigger
10
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.160
some light bulbs or some new feelings.
11
00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:36.960
So we're going to work backward from impact.
12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.960
So we're going to get set up.
13
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.080
And if you need to do a backswing to get to your impact position, that's fine.
14
00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:46.720
But ideally this would build off of an impact fix.
15
00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:50.650
So the impact fix version would be I'd start it set up, and then I'd go to
16
00:00:50.650 --> 00:00:51.480
where I want
17
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:52.680
to be at impact.
18
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:57.020
Today right now it feels like that, and then I'm going to go up to the top of
19
00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:57.880
the swing,
20
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.430
trying to do as little change between where my arms are there at impact and
21
00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:03.160
where they
22
00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:04.820
are at the top.
23
00:01:04.820 --> 00:01:09.390
Now in the swing there is going to be some small movements, but this drill can
24
00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:09.920
kind of
25
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:14.360
highlight how your shoulders will stay a little bit more connected.
26
00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:22.360
The wrist might be a little bit more stable or stiff or flat for a lot of you.
27
00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:26.980
This is especially powerful for people who tend to have more of a big kind of
28
00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:27.680
pull down
29
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.840
or a transition where their arms are powering the swing.
30
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.140
I use this a lot as kind of a way to wake up the feeling of the core muscles,
31
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:37.380
bringing
32
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:41.130
the arms through the downswing instead of the arm muscles, bringing the club
33
00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:41.640
through
34
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:42.800
the downswing.
35
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:43.800
So here we go.
36
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.040
We're going to go to set up, and we're going to do the full version.
37
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.130
So I'm going to go up to the top of the swing, and then I'm going to make a
38
00:01:51.130 --> 00:01:51.840
downswing and
39
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.200
I'm going to get to where I would want to be at impact.
40
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.990
Now I'm going to try to freeze my shoulders and my arms, so I'm not going to
41
00:01:56.990 --> 00:01:57.400
let them
42
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.460
move compared to my body, and now I'm just going to unwind my hips and my core
43
00:02:01.460 --> 00:02:01.920
back to
44
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.240
the top, kind of pump that a couple of times, and then I can go through.
45
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.550
So I'm going to go up to the top, and I'm going to try to get from the top of
46
00:02:10.550 --> 00:02:11.200
the swing
47
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:12.960
to impact.
48
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.450
Now we'll see that as I do these, there will be some little tendencies might
49
00:02:17.450 --> 00:02:18.280
hit, might
50
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.580
have some low point issues, might have some club face issues, but I really use
51
00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:22.080
this more
52
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.580
as a sequencing drill to kind of take out some of the arm pull from the top of
53
00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:28.720
the swing.
54
00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:30.160
So let's try that again.
55
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:31.960
We'll do the impact fixed version.
56
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.320
So I'm just going to go impact.
57
00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:37.750
I'm going to go up to the top of the swing, and then that was a little bit
58
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:39.000
better there.
59
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.840
So from the top of the swing, try to get right back down to impact.
60
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.150
So this can be a really eye opening drill for a lot of you have either an arm
61
00:02:49.150 --> 00:02:49.760
dominant
62
00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:53.920
transition pattern, or the release starts a little bit too soon.
63
00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:57.540
So it'll help people who tend to pull down here, and it'll help people who tend
64
00:02:57.540 --> 00:02:58.000
to kind
65
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.180
of stall and throw the arms there, because in order to keep the arms more
66
00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:04.280
stable or consistent
67
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.650
through there, I have to use my core and my body during the early part of the
68
00:03:07.650 --> 00:03:08.120
release
69
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.520
a little bit longer.
70
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.960
So try that if you're struggling with getting a little too arm dominant in your
71
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:13.480
swing.
72
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:15.920
Next we'll do a little nine to three version.
73
00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:16.920
So I'm just going to go here.
74
00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:21.880
I'm going to do like a kind of a half or three quarter backswing.
75
00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:25.450
Try to get right back to there without changing my arms, kind of focusing on
76
00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:26.320
using the core.
77
00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:28.080
That felt really solid.
78
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.720
Love that feel.
79
00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:32.800
So now let's try it one more time.
80
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.880
This time we're going to do all the way up to a full backswing.
81
00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:38.840
Kind of rehearse that a few times.
82
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:46.020
Okay, so we're at impact up to the top, let the arms go just a little bit there
83
00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:46.480
.
84
00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:50.330
Felt a little different kind of weight distribution, like I wasn't quite in
85
00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:51.320
balance to keep my
86
00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:52.320
core going.
87
00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:53.480
Let's try it one more time.
88
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.440
So we're going to go impact up to the top, down to impact, now up to the top,
89
00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:01.440
that was
90
00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:02.440
a good one right there.
91
00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:07.520
A good feeling for the core, hopefully it'll last for the week.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.560
This drill is the full downswing rewind, also known as rewind to the top.

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.080
But we're going to try to rewind from impact to the top of the swing, doing as

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:16.720

So many of you know that you want to power the downswing with your body and a

So we're going to work backward from impact.

Today right now it feels like that, and then I'm going to go up to the top of
19
00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:57.880

trying to do as little change between where my arms are there at impact and

Now in the swing there is going to be some small movements, but this drill can

35
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:43.800
So here we go.
36
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.040
We're going to go to set up, and we're going to do the full version.

I'm going to get to where I would want to be at impact.
40

Now I'm going to try to freeze my shoulders and my arms, so I'm not going to

00:01:56.990 --> 00:01:57.400
let them
42

47
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:12.960
to impact.
48
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.450
Now we'll see that as I do these, there will be some little tendencies might
49
00:02:17.450 --> 00:02:18.280
hit, might
50
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.580
have some low point issues, might have some club face issues, but I really use

So let's try that again.
55
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:31.960
We'll do the impact fixed version.
56
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.320
So I'm just going to go impact.

to kind

of stall and throw the arms there, because in order to keep the arms more

through there, I have to use my core and my body during the early part of the

release
69
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.520
a little bit longer.
70
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.960
So try that if you're struggling with getting a little too arm dominant in your
71
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:13.480
swing.
72
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:15.920
Next we'll do a little nine to three version.
73
00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:16.920
So I'm just going to go here.
74
00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:21.880
I'm going to do like a kind of a half or three quarter backswing.
75
00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:25.450
Try to get right back to there without changing my arms, kind of focusing on
76
00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:26.320
using the core.
77
00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:28.080
That felt really solid.
78
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.720
Love that feel.
79
00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:32.800
So now let's try it one more time.
80
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.880
This time we're going to do all the way up to a full backswing.
81
00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:38.840
Kind of rehearse that a few times.
82
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:46.020
Okay, so we're at impact up to the top, let the arms go just a little bit there
83
00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:46.480
.
84
00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:50.330
Felt a little different kind of weight distribution, like I wasn't quite in
85
00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:51.320
balance to keep my
86
00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:52.320
core going.
87
00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:53.480
Let's try it one more time.
88
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.440
So we're going to go impact up to the top, down to impact, now up to the top,
89
00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:01.440
that was
90
00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:02.440
a good one right there.
91
00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:07.520
A good feeling for the core, hopefully it'll last for the week.
