00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.360
This drill is the Jackson 5 drill, so the Jackson 5 drill is our term for the

2
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.760
hip bump.

3
00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:11.790
Many golfers have talked about a little lateral movement and 3D has shown that

4
00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:12.520
there's about

5
00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:18.760
a 4 to 6 inch movement during early transition to help shift the weight or

6
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:19.960
pressure into

7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.020
that lead foot and help establish a shallow body position so that you can apply

8
00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:25.760
good release

9
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:26.760
mechanics.

10
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.830
So an easy way to start working on that lateral movement is with this drill we

11
00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:32.880
call the Jackson

12
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.920
5 and it got the name from an old student who was a dance instructor and he

13
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:37.640
said it felt

14
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.630
very much like the old Motown backup movement where they would basically do a

15
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:43.520
little kind

16
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.360
of slide movement where the upper body would lag behind.

17
00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:50.830
To do the movement to do the Jackson 5 drill you're going to take the club

18
00:00:50.830 --> 00:00:51.680
place it across

19
00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:52.680
your hips.

20
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:55.820
Now you already know how to find your hips but here you're going to put your

21
00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:56.240
thumbs

22
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.430
on the outside of your kind of the greater trochanters or the outside of your

23
00:01:00.430 --> 00:01:01.040
hip bones

24
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:02.040
just like this.

25
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:06.120
You're just going to hold that in place and then I want you to just kind of go

26
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:06.480
back

27
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.560
and forth a few times but you'll notice that there's no rotation.

28
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.050
So what's common is as you go to rotate it will look a little bit more like

29
00:01:17.050 --> 00:01:17.880
this.

30
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:22.660
So you want to either stay parallel to a mirror or have a stick on the ground

31
00:01:22.660 --> 00:01:23.560
so you can make

32
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.920
sure that you're doing a pure lateral movement.

33
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.610
Now we don't want to do this sway movement in the backswing but we're going to

34
00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:30.120
do a little

35
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.040
bit of this slide movement during the downswing.

36
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.070
So I'm going to get my normal golf posture and then I'm going to do this

37
00:01:37.070 --> 00:01:38.040
Jackson 5 movement

38
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.000
until my hip joint is just on the inside of my ankle right there.

39
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.560
So I'm going to do that little Jackson 5 movement like this.

40
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.930
Now you notice that as I do this my head stays in place and that's where it

41
00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:51.880
feels more like

42
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:55.600
that Motown backup dancer movement.

43
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:59.460
So I'm doing that Jackson 5 kind of just like this.

44
00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:02.610
Then what I can do is I can take the club and place it across my shoulders

45
00:02:02.610 --> 00:02:03.080
similar to

46
00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:05.560
what you do in the merry-go round.

47
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:10.960
So then I'm going to make a backswing but now that lateral movement isn't in

48
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.160
the direction

49
00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.320
of my pelvis because that would be going that way.

50
00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:17.680
It's still in the direction of the target which will feel like I'm going

51
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:18.440
backwards.

52
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:22.470
So I'm going up to the top of the swing and now I'm doing that little movement

53
00:02:22.470 --> 00:02:22.960
until I

54
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:28.000
feel that same relationship where my hip is roughly over the inside of my ankle

55
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:28.320
.

56
00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:32.900
So I'm basically doing that movement first and as I do that movement I'm trying

57
00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:33.960
not to

58
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.990
consciously rotate my body but you'll see from the down the line that just by

59
00:02:37.990 --> 00:02:38.440
shifting

60
00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:41.120
I'm going to have some rotation.

61
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:45.150
Problem many amateurs face is they get to the top of the swing and they don't

62
00:02:45.150 --> 00:02:45.560
have this

63
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.020
lateral movement first.

64
00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:50.690
They tend to spin both their lower body and their upper body quick from the top

65
00:02:50.690 --> 00:02:51.120
of the

66
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.160
swing and you'll see that that creates a situation where my upper body is well

67
00:02:55.160 --> 00:02:55.520
on top

68
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:01.200
of my lower body and that is going to create more of an outside in swing path.

69
00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:06.010
You can see from this down the line that if I just let my arms kind of fall

70
00:03:06.010 --> 00:03:06.920
when my body

71
00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:11.700
is on top like that it's going to be more outside in as opposed to if I do this

72
00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:12.160
little

73
00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:17.150
Jackson 5 move then if I just let my arms kind of swing you'll see that they

74
00:03:17.150 --> 00:03:17.920
have much

75
00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:20.920
more of a shallow or into out movement.

76
00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:25.910
So this Jackson 5 move is one of those really big key shallower movements for

77
00:03:25.910 --> 00:03:26.880
the full swing

78
00:03:26.880 --> 00:03:31.180
when you get below say a seven iron so when you start getting into seven iron,

79
00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:31.720
six iron

80
00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:35.310
all the way through driver but especially for the driver you'll tend to see a

81
00:03:35.310 --> 00:03:36.120
fair amount

82
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.490
of this axis tilt and it's created by the sequencing of this lateral lower body

83
00:03:40.490 --> 00:03:41.160
movement

84
00:03:41.160 --> 00:03:43.080
during transition.

85
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:47.550
The other thing that amateurs tend to do is they tend to shift very kind of

86
00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:48.280
slowly and

87
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:54.080
gradually where this is more of a movement that will happen during transition

88
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:54.680
so it should

89
00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:00.230
really happen before that left arm is below your chest height or left arm

90
00:04:00.230 --> 00:04:01.360
parallel kind

91
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.040
of somewhere in this zone.

92
00:04:04.040 --> 00:04:10.920
So you got the feeling here you make some back swings and then you make some

93
00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:11.960
swings trying

94
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:17.100
to get that same movement to happen early during transition and then you can

95
00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:18.000
start applying

96
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:24.680
it into tempo drills full swing drills but getting that sequencing of the step

97
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.400
before

98
00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:29.480
the body goes very similar to normal hitting or throwing mechanics where you're

99
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:29.960
going to

100
00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:35.410
have that lateral movement before it goes rotary or that lateral movement

101
00:04:35.410 --> 00:04:36.520
before it goes

102
00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:37.680
rotary.

103
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.940
So work on that Jackson 5 sequencing to help shallow out your movement and get

104
00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:42.600
your total

105
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:50.920
body involved which is really key for the longer clubs.
