00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This drill is lead foot low point.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So this is a way to kind of tie in a few different pieces down to the bottom of the swing.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
So if you've gotten lost, either with how to feel where that merry-go-round body position

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
is going to be or the timing of where your arms are going to be or if you're working

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
on a specific release move, this is a good way to tie it together into more of an external

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
focus for getting you ready to play on the course.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
It's very similar to the impact fix, except we're going to go a little bit past impacts.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
We're going to go to the lead foot low point.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
This is also very similar to the nine-to-low point drill.

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
You often tie these together as a homework assignment.

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
So as a kind of prep move, what I'm going to do is I'm going to get set up.

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And then I'm just going to kind of remind myself where I want to get to at impact.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So I'm going to make my merry-go-round where my body has rotated inside bent and my head is

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
stayed slightly behind the ball.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000
But now I'm going to put the club on the ground with the club close to vertical or even

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,000
leaning slightly ahead, but with the shaft even with my left foot.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Now in the downswing, the order of movement of my body is my lower body goes first and

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
then my core and then my shoulders and then my elbows and then finally the wrist.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,000
So if I was to back up from this lead foot low point, I'm just going to use my wrists to

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
bring it back to impact.

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So I'm going to get in this position and then I'm just going to use my wrist to bring the club

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
back to where the golf club would be at impact.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
For most people, this is going to look like your hands are way forward.

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
You're usually going to say, wow, my hands would probably be more like there.

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
And I need to get them all the way to there.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
So it gives the brain a good reference of where I'm trying to get my hands.

00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
If I want to have that shaft pretty vertical as it's passing my left foot or the lead foot low point.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So then we can add a little rewind to this that kind of help dial in exactly how I'm going

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
to get there.

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
So I'm going to do that little merry-go-round, put the club there.

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
And then I'm going to bring the club back to kind of a nine to three position.

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
But without moving my body, because again, by this point, my body is already gotten open

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
and the last thing to go is going to be my arms.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And then my wrist to get me into that lead foot low point position.

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Now what most people will feel at that point is if I get into this position and work my way back,

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
you'll usually feel like either a, my hands are much further ahead.

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
I'm used to them being back here, which would be more of kind of a scoop pattern.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Or they'll say that I'm not used to having my body like that.

00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I'm used to having my body like this.

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
And that would be more of kind of the force going more vertically.

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
So if I get that merry-go-round, that lead foot low point, back it up.

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Now I'm in pretty good position where if all I do is extend my arms,

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I'm going to get the bottom this wing ahead of the golf ball,

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,000
and this can help dial in some of the timings and some of the visuals on where I want to be down at impact.

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
So I use this a lot for a variety of different reasons,

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
whether it's an early extension move or a slide move or upper body lunge.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,000
I can use this to train the body and the arm relationship kind of into one more of a playing thought.

00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000
So this can often be a really good feel for golfers

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
to as a kind of a warm-up move when you're getting ready to play

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
to kind of dial in what is the swing feel like or what is impact feel like on that day.

00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Once I've then got that position kind of ingrained in my mind,

00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
at least temporarily, now I can start to take my nine to three's, my ten to two's,

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000
and just try and get back to that position to make more solid contact.

00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
So if you find that you have a hard time taking your impact position from the range to the course,

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
maybe dialing in the lead foot low point is a good way for you to do that,

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
or where I most commonly use this is if you have a little bit more of an early release pattern

00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
that you have a hard time building a reference around and your wrist

00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
or just always the shaft is more vertical and your wrist are always more in this position at impact,

00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:39,000
try that lead foot low point reference that will help dial things into one kind of clear feel of where you want to get the handle

00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
as you're approaching impact.

00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Go to impact lead foot low point that's where the vertical come back,

00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
and try to get my hands all the way to there before they release.

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Pretty good.
