00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.640
This drill is follow through bracing, so it has long been talked about that you
2
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:07.340
should
3
00:00:07.340 --> 00:00:11.250
kind of feel like you have a firm left side when you go through impact, but
4
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:11.560
what does
5
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:12.920
that actually mean?
6
00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:17.930
Well, if you look at the push pull that I talk about where as I'm letting my
7
00:00:17.930 --> 00:00:18.520
arms extend
8
00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:22.440
from the weight of the club, my body is kind of bracing against it, that's
9
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:23.120
where I think
10
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.080
a lot of this feeling of a firm left side came in.
11
00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:30.290
So what I do with a lot of my students is I'll have them go into this release
12
00:00:30.290 --> 00:00:31.080
or I mean
13
00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:32.080
back up.
14
00:00:32.080 --> 00:00:35.330
So I'll have them go into this release or follow through position like so and I
15
00:00:35.330 --> 00:00:35.640
will
16
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.570
try to pull them over from the club because the club is going to have a force
17
00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:40.280
on the body
18
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.200
of somewhere around 100 pounds depending on what club and how fast you're
19
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:44.680
swinging.
20
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.720
So the club is going to have a pretty significant force right there.
21
00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:53.890
I can make that force less by either bending my arms, which is not ideal, or by
22
00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:54.660
bracing
23
00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:58.640
with my body and kind of pushing against the ground as it comes up.
24
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.950
Now you're not going to have me to pull on the club, so what you can do is you
25
00:01:01.950 --> 00:01:02.340
can grip
26
00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:07.420
it in an extremely closed position and you can find a chair and you can go
27
00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:08.440
around until
28
00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:14.040
basically you would hook that chair and then you can practice bracing with that
29
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:14.900
lower body
30
00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:19.200
as those arms are fully extended and as those arms are getting pulled out.
31
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.580
So brace and then let those arms just release.
32
00:01:22.580 --> 00:01:25.000
Place what those arms release.
33
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:31.810
Then you can take a swing, trying to recreate and feel that kind of blend of
34
00:01:31.810 --> 00:01:32.920
movements of
35
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.120
my body pushing away as my arms are extending out.
36
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.680
That combination helps create the bottom of the swing being after the golf ball
37
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:41.240
, helps
38
00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:46.400
create a lot of the angle of attack, things that relate to consistency.
39
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.690
So I think it's a very important thing that you can practice at home or on the
40
00:01:49.690 --> 00:01:50.240
range.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.640
