00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
This drill is the famous line drill, and this is to help you work on your
2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:04.520
impact
3
00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:11.480
position. So basically what you may or may not have seen before is a common
4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:16.480
theme is to take either a string or some white tape or something on the
5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.960
ground just to have an indicator on the ground somewhere between your stands,
6
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.840
usually a little bit forward of center. If you remember from the contact video
7
00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:30.480
with every club except for a driver we're trying to hit slightly down on the
8
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:35.680
ball so that we can get the sweet spot to be on the back of the ball as opposed
9
00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:39.560
to hitting it low on the face if we had the shafts right up and down. So to
10
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:39.760
make
11
00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:42.560
sure that that's happening that means that the bottom of the swing is going to
12
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:42.680
be
13
00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:48.610
moving closer and closer towards the target where poor handicaps, high handic
14
00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:48.800
aps
15
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:53.600
tend to have the bottom of their swing way back more towards the right foot. So
16
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.220
having a little bit of feedback makes this a little bit easier to monitor. So
17
00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:04.190
you can either use string tape, you know spray paint is one of the common ones.
18
00:01:04.190 --> 00:01:04.240
I
19
00:01:04.240 --> 00:01:10.040
like to just take a T every once in a while and you take a T and you just kind
20
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.880
of carve a line in the ground and all the grass will kind of go forward and you
21
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:15.920
'll
22
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.800
see this little brown line little brown trench that just gives you a really
23
00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:24.800
clear reference point. So then you're going to set up as if that line were the
24
00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:29.240
golf ball and you're going to take your full swing and you're going to look
25
00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:29.480
down
26
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:34.520
and sure enough the divot right there started just after the line so if I had
27
00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:39.680
a golf ball there I would have hit a solid ball. So the line drill is just a
28
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.800
way for you to start seeing if you're getting in this good impact position and
29
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.560
then extending the club down the divot will happen after the golf ball. The
30
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:48.760
line
31
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.760
drill just gives you a really good way of monitoring that or having feedback
32
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:52.000
for
33
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.000
it so you can draw a line stack until it uses this a lot and if you've never
34
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.120
seen the demonstration where they go down the line and hit 17 golf balls never
35
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.120
having the club bottoming out behind the line it's pretty impressive and it's
36
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:11.080
something to definitely strive for. So use the T, carve a line, take some
37
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.560
practice swings and just make sure that your the bottom of your swing is
38
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:15.360
getting
39
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.200
ahead of where you set up. So you'll notice every single time that's making
40
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:26.600
contact just to have a line because I got some of those impact keys working in
41
00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:31.680
that little swing. So draw a line, pay attention, we'll get into more details

33
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.000
it so you can draw a line stack until it uses this a lot and if you've never
34
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.120
seen the demonstration where they go down the line and hit 17 golf balls never
35
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.120
having the club bottoming out behind the line it's pretty impressive and it's
36
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:11.080
something to definitely strive for. So use the T, carve a line, take some
37
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.560
practice swings and just make sure that your the bottom of your swing is
38
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:15.360
getting
39
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.200
ahead of where you set up. So you'll notice every single time that's making
40
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:26.600
contact just to have a line because I got some of those impact keys working in
41
00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:31.680
that little swing. So draw a line, pay attention, we'll get into more details
42
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:31.840
as
43
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.240
we get into the movements in the next layer.
