00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.520
This drill is head on a pillow. So head on a pillow is designed to help you
2
00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:06.000
work on
3
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.960
the side tilt and extension that we want to have happen from impact through
4
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:11.120
your
5
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.200
follow through. So a lot of beginning golfers or a lot of higher handicapped
6
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:20.160
golfers are going to have a specific look where basically they're going to
7
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:24.040
get into this follow through position with the shoulders fairly level and I'm
8
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:30.080
turned and faced just like so. Now if I did that facing the camera what you
9
00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:30.220
would
10
00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:34.640
see is that basically I had to stand up and my shoulder got really high as my
11
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.800
arms extended and that'll usually be accompanied with a little bit of this
12
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:44.360
chicken wing so it'll kind of have a look similar to that. One way of getting
13
00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:44.560
the
14
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:50.560
side tilt is to use your eyes and so if you were to get this Jackson 5 movement
15
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.660
and if you were to continue doing the side bend then what will happen is when
16
00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:58.680
you come through it'll actually your eyes will be on a much more of a tilt
17
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:03.200
kind of like so or it'll feel like your head is resting on a pillow. This is a
18
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.560
common thought that a lot of instructors have used either look at it upside
19
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:07.720
down
20
00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:12.120
look at it sideways or put your head on a pillow. So if I was to do it from
21
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:12.360
this
22
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:18.600
down the line you would basically see that if I keep my my side tilt my eyes
23
00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:22.840
are going to be looking like this to the horizon instead of level to the
24
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.800
horizon. So when you're working on your nine to three and you're training your
25
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:33.880
follow-through position you can focus on where are my eyes and how does that
26
00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:39.360
relate to my side bend. If you find yourself getting into this kind of more
27
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:43.560
level chicken wing style everything looks my eyes are parallel with the
28
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.740
horizon there's a good chance that you haven't done enough of the side tilt so
29
00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:48.520
So use your eyes to help dial that in.
