00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.600
This drill is followed through, touch the net.

2
00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:11.420
So this drill is a great drill for those of you who have a hitting station at

3
00:00:11.420 --> 00:00:12.320
home where

4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.960
you're working on some follow through position training.

5
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.200
Oftentimes golfers fall into a pattern where during the follow through or going

6
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:20.680
through

7
00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:25.460
the release, either their body doesn't turn or their arms tend to bend and you

8
00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:25.940
'll get

9
00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:29.600
into more of a chicken wing kind of scoop pattern like this.

10
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:34.550
Now what we're going to do is we're going to set up with a fixed reference that

11
00:00:34.550 --> 00:00:35.120
allows

12
00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:39.040
me to know for sure if I did that because the problem I find is that a lot of

13
00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:39.640
golfers

14
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:44.810
are just really unaware of what is going on down at that key impact interval or

15
00:00:44.810 --> 00:00:45.700
key release

16
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:46.700
phase.

17
00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:50.240
So when I asked them, "Hey, did you bend your arms?"

18
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.840
They don't really feel it because what will end up happening is they'll go like

19
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:53.240
this and

20
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.360
then straighten and they'll go, "Look, I finished with my arm straight," but it

21
00:00:56.360 --> 00:00:56.880
was kind of a

22
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:57.880
fake finish.

23
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.640
Well, we're going to use the net to help give us an outside or an external feel

24
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:03.960
.

25
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.140
So I'm going to get set up and then I'm going to turn my body until I'm close

26
00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:11.200
to the net.

27
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.740
So my arms are extended, my weight is on that front foot, I'm down in my good

28
00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:16.640
follow through

29
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.760
position and I'm going to get to where I would just barely touch the net.

30
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.430
Now I'm going to adjust my ball position and I'm going to put a reference down,

31
00:01:26.430 --> 00:01:27.040
usually

32
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.270
on a mat, I'll put a T into the mat so I know where I needed to set up because

33
00:01:33.270 --> 00:01:33.800
what will

34
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:37.600
usually happen is as you do this subconsciously, you'll start getting closer

35
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.420
and closer to the

36
00:01:38.420 --> 00:01:42.600
net to where you're like, "Hey, I'm touching the net every single time."

37
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:46.210
So you want to be aware of where that starting position was and then you can

38
00:01:46.210 --> 00:01:46.920
work through

39
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.280
mostly nine to threes.

40
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.100
I find that if you start taking fuller swings, you'll kind of pull away from

41
00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:53.000
the net because

42
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.240
it doesn't feel quite as good, making contact with the net and having it kind

43
00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:57.880
of grab onto

44
00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:00.000
your club a little bit.

45
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:08.420
But I'm going to start with just doing some practice swings, trying to get into

46
00:02:08.420 --> 00:02:09.200
a good

47
00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:12.600
follow through position where I'm just barely touching the net.

48
00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:16.840
Kind of like this, like I said, it will be much easier to do on mat than grass

49
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:17.320
because

50
00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:22.140
as I do this on grass, I'm going to build a little divot pattern and so I'm

51
00:02:22.140 --> 00:02:22.800
going to

52
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.640
have to keep moving the net or adjusting it.

53
00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:29.480
So this is the best drill for when you're working on follow through position at

54
00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:30.080
home.

55
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:37.270
If your net is kind of not that like that impact harp but more of the netting

56
00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:38.440
like this,

57
00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:44.160
then I do actually recommend, go ahead and try a nine to three.

58
00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:47.460
And what you'll see is you'll have to hold that follow through position because

59
00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:47.780
as the

60
00:02:47.780 --> 00:02:50.520
ball hits the net, it's going to push the net away from you.

61
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.800
So you have to wait for the net to reset to see how well you did there.

62
00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:01.800
What a lot of you are going to feel is you're going to do it more kind of like

63
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:02.960
this where

64
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.730
I'm pulling in, hey, I hit an okay shot, pulled in, got it up high and then

65
00:03:06.730 --> 00:03:07.600
tried to correct

66
00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:08.600
it.

67
00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:13.690
So if that's the case, then you want to start trying to go even more slow

68
00:03:13.690 --> 00:03:14.800
motion, kind of

69
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:21.300
tie-chee, where you're really reaching the club, not necessarily my shoulders,

70
00:03:21.300 --> 00:03:21.760
but you're

71
00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:25.600
reaching the club away from your body like so.

72
00:03:25.600 --> 00:03:30.380
So I'm kind of reaching more towards the bottom of the net, getting this really

73
00:03:30.380 --> 00:03:30.760
good

74
00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:35.940
arm extension through the shot, rather than just flinging the club head through

75
00:03:35.940 --> 00:03:36.240
.

76
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.120
So there's a few different problems that you'll see.

77
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.700
One is if I don't turn my hips, if I just hit with my upper body, it's really

78
00:03:44.700 --> 00:03:45.160
hard for

79
00:03:45.160 --> 00:03:47.900
me to get all the way to the net.

80
00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:54.400
Two, if I tend to have more of a stand-up or pull-up, now the club is way away

81
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:54.960
from the

82
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:55.960
net.

83
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.760
So I'm going to have that kind of corrected finish.

84
00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:06.320
So part number one, I got a turn, part number two, I got to stay down.

85
00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:10.880
Number three is my arms have to go with the club as opposed to pulling in.

86
00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:15.440
So I might have to have some softer arm tension as I'm working through my

87
00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:16.840
release movements.

88
00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:23.120
So again, I don't really do this much bigger than nine to three, because as you

89
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:24.240
go through,

90
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.200
you'll have a harder time feeling it.

91
00:04:26.200 --> 00:04:31.820
But sometimes I will do more of a braking movement where I'm going to try a

92
00:04:31.820 --> 00:04:32.640
little bit

93
00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:33.640
bigger swing.

94
00:04:33.640 --> 00:04:36.590
And you'll see I kind of pulled away from the net, because even if I tell

95
00:04:36.590 --> 00:04:37.200
myself that I

96
00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:41.200
don't want to, it's a little jarring to swing into the net.

97
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:44.630
I might stick with mostly nine to threes, but you can do nine to threes with a

98
00:04:44.630 --> 00:04:45.040
little

99
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.520
bit more aggression.

100
00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:51.130
If you're worried that some golfers start avoiding the net when they try to

101
00:04:51.130 --> 00:04:52.240
swing harder.

102
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.650
So if those arms tend to kind of bend in to throw the club past your body, then

103
00:04:56.650 --> 00:04:57.320
I'm fine

104
00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:02.200
with doing more of a nine to three, where I'm trying to hit it with a little

105
00:05:02.200 --> 00:05:02.640
bit of

106
00:05:02.640 --> 00:05:06.920
aggression, just focus on getting into that good arm extension position.

107
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:13.800
So we'll do one more for you, kind of like that.

108
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.380
This is a great drill for at home training, working on your follow through

109
00:05:16.380 --> 00:05:16.920
position.
