00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.720
This drill is the head-on-the-wall drill for practicing impact so while you're
2
00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:09.360
working on your impact positions one thing that you can kind of pay
3
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:14.600
attention to is where your head is in space and what you'll see is if you were
4
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:19.140
to start with your head or your your hair or if you actually like doing it
5
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:23.160
with the brim of your cap but I didn't wear a hat today just touching the wall
6
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.920
then when you go to impact position the only thing that's going to change is
7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.800
your head is actually going to drop down maybe an inch or two but it's going to
8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.080
stay relatively in the same place as opposed to backing up going this way so
9
00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:42.240
you can work on that impact position of getting that weight into the left side
10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.610
that right shoulder down hands ahead all those good things while your head
11
00:00:46.610 --> 00:00:46.680
stays
12
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:51.400
up against the wall the other thing the other way you can use the wall while
13
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:55.520
you're doing it is to make sure that your head is not drifting forward which is
14
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.080
a very common problem especially if you accompany it with a little bit of a
15
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:00.360
scoop
16
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:04.520
so the way that you would set up for that is if you position the head off to
17
00:01:04.520 --> 00:01:10.360
your just to off your left ear so I'm going to turn this way and now if I got
18
00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:14.680
into my set-up posture so that the club so that the wall is just off my head
19
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:20.520
here then when I shift my weight onto my left and get my hands in their good
20
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:25.000
position I'm doing so making sure that my head has not drifted forward so if
21
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.920
you can you can see this line on the screen when I get into that impact
22
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.000
position my head is not drifted forward so these are two key ways that you can
23
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.640
use a wall when you're practicing some of these body movement drills at home
24
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.800
which will make the transfer over onto the range and onto the course that much
25
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.160
easier
