00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.040
This drill circuit is for working on impact.

2
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:07.410
So I'm going to take you through a handful, remember, this is just an example

3
00:00:07.410 --> 00:00:08.280
of how you

4
00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:10.680
can practice using some of these drills.

5
00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:13.760
So let's say I'm working on my impact alignment.

6
00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:17.200
Well, first one I'm going to do is the door jam.

7
00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:21.890
So I'm going to put the golf ball up against the yoga block, get into my good

8
00:00:21.890 --> 00:00:23.160
setup position,

9
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:28.000
and then try to get to where I'm pushing, okay, that's where I want to feel.

10
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.440
So that's, I got a little image of that.

11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.410
Next I'm going to refine it, and I'm going to do the merry go round, and turn,

12
00:00:35.410 --> 00:00:36.000
and then

13
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.120
get down, and I'm like, okay, so now compared to that first time, yeah, I

14
00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:40.680
definitely have

15
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:45.340
that right shoulder a little bit more back, and that makes me feel a little bit

16
00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:46.200
stronger.

17
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.320
So then the next one I could do, now that I've got a good little snapshot, let

18
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:50.640
's get

19
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:56.480
used to going from that impact position into a follow through.

20
00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:00.960
So now I've got that image in my hand, I'm going to go through my little setup

21
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:01.720
process,

22
00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:07.220
there's that right shoulder down, and then from here I'm going to throw the

23
00:01:07.220 --> 00:01:07.960
ball.

24
00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:13.560
I felt my shoulder come up a little bit, so I'm going to do that again.

25
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.750
So setup, I'm going to get into that good impact position, and then I'm going

26
00:01:17.750 --> 00:01:18.280
to throw

27
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.000
the ball, that was much better, kept that shoulder down.

28
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:31.100
And then last piece, we can't just stop right there, let's practice impact fix

29
00:01:31.100 --> 00:01:33.160
to 9 to 3.

30
00:01:33.160 --> 00:01:39.390
So impact fix, I'm going to get there, impact fix, that's a little better,

31
00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:40.480
there we go.

32
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:52.120
Okay, and then last piece would be the 9 to 3.

33
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.290
So that's a good way to practice, after I do that 9 to 3, if I was really being

34
00:01:57.290 --> 00:01:57.760
good

35
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.180
I could come back to impact and say okay I made a good job going from follow

36
00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:01.680
through

37
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.480
to impact or from impact to follow through, that was a good little circuit.

38
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:10.730
Now I can bring the yoga block in, reinforce this, run through it 10 times or

39
00:02:10.730 --> 00:02:11.500
so, and then

40
00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:15.620
move on to some of the more random parts of practice or the game parts of

41
00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:16.040
practice.

to impact or from impact to follow through, that was a good little circuit.

38
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:10.730
