00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840
This drill is hit the pool noodle. So this is a compliment to the hit my arms

2
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:06.660
drill

3
00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:11.640
that I typically do in person. And it's a really good drill for helping get

4
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:11.820
away

5
00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:16.340
from the hit impulse. So if you have more of a stop my body and really fire my

6
00:00:16.340 --> 00:00:16.620
arms

7
00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:20.540
down at the golf ball, this could be a good drill for you. What you're going to

8
00:00:20.540 --> 00:00:20.780
do is

9
00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:26.460
you're going to take a tripod or a shaft and stick it in the ground so that the

10
00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:31.340
pool noodle is roughly vertical. If anything from the down the line it would

11
00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:37.820
be angled slightly towards the target line or towards the yeah towards the

12
00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:43.740
target line just like that. And you want it to be roughly in line with your

13
00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:44.040
feet.

14
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:51.020
So what's going to happen is when you go through your focus is on hitting the

15
00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:55.220
pool noodle. In this case I'm probably going to knock over the tripod. Your

16
00:00:55.220 --> 00:00:55.620
focus

17
00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:59.400
is on hitting the pool noodle and knocking it over just like that and

18
00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:05.260
letting the ball get in the way. So the first version is you're just going to

19
00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:12.060
work on brushing the ground. Hit the hit the noodle. Hit the noodle but I

20
00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:12.340
brushed

21
00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:16.460
the ground right before I hit the noodle. Then the second level is now I'm

22
00:01:16.460 --> 00:01:16.620
going

23
00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:23.500
to do this with a golf ball. So my main goal is can I compare? Did my focus

24
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:27.740
change from trying to hit the noodle to trying to hit the ball or was I still

25
00:01:27.740 --> 00:01:33.540
focused on trying to hit the noodle? If I felt kind of a a tensing if I felt

26
00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:33.780
more

27
00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:38.100
of a bracing then that could tell me that I need to work a little bit more on

28
00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:44.260
this rhythm and my focus of being more past the ball into this good follow-

29
00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:44.540
through

30
00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:49.100
position instead of trying to hit right at the ball. This is a very good

31
00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:55.620
complement for working on clubface closure, the owner deviation and unhinge or

32
00:01:55.620 --> 00:02:00.460
working on getting into a good side tilt and follow-through position. So if you

33
00:02:00.460 --> 00:02:04.340
have a little bit more of a hit impulse down the ball you've got to do some

34
00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:04.580
stuff

35
00:02:04.580 --> 00:02:09.660
on the other side of the golf ball to try to help your brain lose that hit

36
00:02:09.660 --> 00:02:13.500
impulse and turn it into more of a holistic movement where the ball just

37
00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:20.220
happens to get in the way. Okay so then from in demo you can do a couple

38
00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:25.100
different versions. I like doing more of a hinge and hold style stop drill

39
00:02:25.100 --> 00:02:25.740
where

40
00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:31.680
my goal is to gently have kind of the same speed going through impact into the

41
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.900
pool noodle. Then I like to do one where I'm trying to do about the same length

42
00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:40.980
swing but now I'm going to try to add a little bit more speed. So I'm actually

43
00:02:40.980 --> 00:02:44.540
going to feel like when I get to right down about here I'm actually going to

44
00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:53.660
speed up my chest rotation into the pool noodle. So when I did that I lost my

45
00:02:53.660 --> 00:02:58.740
spine angle a little bit so that caused me to hit it fat and caused me to just

46
00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:05.660
miss the pool noodle. So we'll try that again try to pick up the speed, caught

47
00:03:05.660 --> 00:03:05.820
the

48
00:03:05.820 --> 00:03:11.210
pool noodle. It's a tricky one but for some who have the hit impulse more at

49
00:03:11.210 --> 00:03:11.340
the

50
00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:16.380
golf ball that can be really helpful. And then the last version is going into

51
00:03:16.380 --> 00:03:21.900
more of a full swing. So if it's coming back I'll move the noodle just a sec.

52
00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:22.340
So

53
00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:28.220
now I'm going to try and avoid any type of stall and make sure that the release

54
00:03:28.220 --> 00:03:37.380
ends there not down at the golf ball. So just clipped it it might have been a

55
00:03:37.380 --> 00:03:41.700
little bit too far because I hit that pretty good but you can see that that

56
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:46.420
helps with the rhythm and the timing of swinging through the ball instead of

57
00:03:46.420 --> 00:03:49.020
hitting at it.
