00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.220
This drill is followed through bracing with the golf cart.

2
00:00:04.220 --> 00:00:07.100
So in the follow through bracing, I give you a way that you can practice at

3
00:00:07.100 --> 00:00:07.760
home by hooking

4
00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:13.320
onto a chair, hooking onto a couch, and kind of feeling the power in your core

5
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:14.040
and in your

6
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:15.040
legs.

7
00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:16.200
We're going to use the golf cart to replicate that.

8
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:19.870
So you're going to take your golf club and you're going to turn the club 90

9
00:00:19.870 --> 00:00:20.600
degrees just

10
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.600
like so so that I've got something good to kind of hook with.

11
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.630
I'm going to hook right here for demonstration purposes, but usually kind of on

12
00:00:28.630 --> 00:00:29.400
the underside

13
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:32.120
of the bumper is one of the best places to hook.

14
00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:35.920
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to get into my golf posture just like so,

15
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:36.400
and I'm

16
00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:38.640
going to go towards follow through position.

17
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.310
Now for an iron, that follow through position is going to be a little bit more

18
00:00:42.310 --> 00:00:42.880
down that

19
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:43.880
way.

20
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:49.720
For a driver, it would almost be horizontal or out towards the target like so.

21
00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:53.090
So I've got an iron here, so I'm going to hook in, and then I'm just going to

22
00:00:53.090 --> 00:00:53.880
inch myself

23
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.120
away just slightly so that I have a little bit of tension here.

24
00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:01.340
Now I'm going to turn myself towards impact, and I'm going to try and feel my

25
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:02.400
butt squeeze,

26
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:07.070
my core squeeze, and like all the resistance of me kind of pulling and holding

27
00:01:07.070 --> 00:01:07.720
onto this

28
00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:10.000
is coming from my core.

29
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.810
Then I'm going to step slightly away from the golf cart, and I'm going to try

30
00:01:13.810 --> 00:01:14.240
to get

31
00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:19.520
that same feeling of my hips and my core bracing for the club pulling.

32
00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:24.080
So I'm in a really strong, stable position when I finish my release.

33
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:27.980
So this is a great way to activate the muscles that will help stabilize the

34
00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:28.880
swing, and for

35
00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:34.200
a lot of golfers I've worked with, this helps the swing feel more athletic.

36
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.670
If you have a buddy, you can have them pull on the club, and it can replicate

37
00:01:39.670 --> 00:01:40.320
this on

38
00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:46.330
the range even better, where basically you would go from your impact position

39
00:01:46.330 --> 00:01:46.960
to that

40
00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:49.530
follow through position, and then you'll basically just have someone try and

41
00:01:49.530 --> 00:01:49.880
pull the

42
00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:54.950
club away, and they'll gently pull it away, and you'll be able to brace in your

43
00:01:54.950 --> 00:01:55.440
hip and

44
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:56.800
your core.

45
00:01:56.800 --> 00:02:01.140
If you have kind of slid and buckled, so if you've kind of done this and they

46
00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:01.880
go to pull,

47
00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:04.560
they will pull you over.

48
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.960
If you have early extended, they will pull you forward.

49
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:11.920
It's a great way to just test and see if your body is in a stable position.

50
00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.490
Even if I'm kind of jumping up, I can still be in this stable position of

51
00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:20.280
energy transfer,

52
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.240
which is a great place to be in when you finish your release.

53
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.860
So it really helps you dial in that follow through position, and what muscles

54
00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:27.400
are going

55
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.240
to help you get there.

56
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.330
Hold it for about five seconds to activate the muscles, and then take some

57
00:02:32.330 --> 00:02:33.120
swings, either

58
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.960
nine to three or full stock swings, trying to replicate that same feeling.
