00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.680
Okay, this drill is called fall to heels and it's for the early extenders and
2
00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:04.960
it's very
3
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:09.190
similar to the push the ground away from you drill, but this is going to be
4
00:00:09.190 --> 00:00:10.000
more of a passive
5
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.060
movement instead of the active way of feeling like you're pushing the ground
6
00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:14.760
away from you.
7
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:19.100
So what you can do is you can take your little 9 to 3 swing and at the 9 o'
8
00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:20.120
clock position
9
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:25.230
you're going to actually go up onto your toes like so and then you're going to
10
00:00:25.230 --> 00:00:25.880
feel like
11
00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:30.000
you actually fall into your heels as you swing down.
12
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.590
Now this is going to create a lot of movement and it's an exaggeration of the
13
00:00:35.590 --> 00:00:36.400
feeling of
14
00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:40.900
moving into your heel, into the left heel, but sometimes if you're early
15
00:00:40.900 --> 00:00:41.720
extending and
16
00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:45.310
you're drifting into your toes and you're not really aware of it, you need this
17
00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:46.080
exaggeration
18
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.560
in order to kind of get the feeling that we're looking for.
19
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:54.170
So again it's just this 9 to 3 where you go up onto your toes at the 9 and then
20
00:00:54.170 --> 00:00:54.720
you fall
21
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:56.640
into your heels on the 3.
22
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.740
It'll be tough to keep your balance all the way through so I recommend if you
23
00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:00.280
do actually
24
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.130
try to hit golf balls, tee them up because we're not worried about solid
25
00:01:04.130 --> 00:01:05.040
contact here.
26
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.160
It's just about getting this feeling.
27
00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:11.780
Once you have that feeling you can try hitting a few of the 9 to 3 swings where
28
00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:12.360
you feel
29
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:15.360
like you fall into your left heel without actually falling there.
