00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.040
This drill is the lateral bounding drill to help work on the pushing through
2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:05.160
the
3
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.930
trail leg during transition. Now similar to the trail leg push drill, this
4
00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:10.160
drill
5
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.920
will help you feel what the trail foot or the right leg for right hand golfers
6
00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:21.200
is going to do to help create this hip bump. Because if I just kind of bump my
7
00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:25.380
hips without having any activity of my feet with the ground, it doesn't really
8
00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:28.840
build a whole lot of power. It does get me in good position so I can probably
9
00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:34.000
strike the ball solidly but it doesn't build a lot of power. So the lateral
10
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.610
bounding drill is you're going to stand on one foot just like so and you're
11
00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:38.880
going
12
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.960
to push yourself over to the side just like so. Okay you can do it both sides
13
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.160
for a little bit of balance but you can get this feeling of pushing through the
14
00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:53.360
inside edge of the foot. Now make sure when you do that you're pushing through
15
00:00:53.360 --> 00:01:00.160
the entire inside edge of the foot like so as opposed to just pushing up off
16
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:04.960
the toe. If you're just pushing up off the toe it will create a tendency for
17
00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:05.080
your
18
00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:09.080
hips to drive in towards the golf ball. If you're pushing through the inside
19
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:09.600
edge
20
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:14.890
of the foot as you laterally hop it will tend to have the hips move a little
21
00:01:14.890 --> 00:01:15.000
bit
22
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.040
more just laterally without moving in towards the golf ball. Moving in towards
23
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.240
the golf ball is one of the big killers for consistency even though it can
24
00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:28.440
produce a lot of power. So try a few of these little skater moves or lateral
25
00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:33.280
bounding focusing on pushing through the inside edge of the foot and that'll
26
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:33.480
help

00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.400

28
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.000
transition.
