1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.040
This drill is lean the wrong way.

2
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:12.630
So lean the wrong way is a impact and a follow through position drill for golf

3
00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:13.520
ers who tend

4
00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:17.800
to have more of a hip drop or more of a buckle through impact.

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.200
So there's a subset of golfers who tend to have usually a company's more of

6
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:22.800
kind of a

7
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.800
lean back and arm throw, but it can be more of a it usually a company's arm

8
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.440
throw, but

9
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.360
it's either with a lean back or with kind of a lunge forward, but you'll see a

10
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:34.880
little

11
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.360
bit more of kind of this dip dive kind of like this.

12
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:45.280
And oftentimes it will actually go further away from the golf ball than is

13
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:46.960
recommended.

14
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.710
So it'll go more in kind of the outside of hip and kind of drive down like this

15
00:00:51.710 --> 00:00:52.000
.

16
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.630
And the interesting thing about that pattern is it usually lacks a lot of

17
00:00:56.630 --> 00:00:57.720
movement in the

18
00:00:57.720 --> 00:00:58.720
spine.

19
00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:00.600
So it doesn't have a whole lot of side bend.

20
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.700
And basically instead of getting side bend and distributing it through the

21
00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:05.400
whole spine

22
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:11.690
and into the hip, all of the side bend is coming more in the hip and the SI

23
00:01:11.690 --> 00:01:12.640
joint.

24
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.540
So it can be a really painful or it can create the situation where you can

25
00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:17.440
injure your lower

26
00:01:17.440 --> 00:01:18.680
back.

27
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.460
So it's also one of the ones that tends to cause really diggy divots or deep

28
00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:25.240
divots.

29
00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:30.610
So when you drop down like that, it lowers the low point and often companies a

30
00:01:30.610 --> 00:01:30.720
little

31
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:34.560
bit more of that throw and then pull in on the way through.

32
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.640
So lean the wrong way is to try to get a little bit of hip height.

33
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:43.120
If we look at 3D, a lot of good ball strikers are going to have their pelvis

34
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.840
actually higher

35
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.320
than where they were at setup.

36
00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:50.120
So to feel it, we're going to do the lean the wrong way drill.

37
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:51.120
So here we go.

38
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.670
We're going to get into a set up position and then we're just going to stand up

39
00:01:55.670 --> 00:01:56.000
.

40
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.680
We're going to turn and face the target.

41
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.070
And so when I say lean the wrong way, what we're going to do is we're going to

42
00:02:00.070 --> 00:02:00.480
push our

43
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.680
hips towards the golf ball.

44
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.030
Now this is going to feel for some of you like your pelvis is right over your

45
00:02:07.030 --> 00:02:07.480
feet or

46
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.280
even more over your toes.

47
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.160
It's going to feel like you're leaning the wrong way.

48
00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:15.520
Now what we're going to do is we're going to try and isolate the hips.

49
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.370
So we're going to keep that hip high in that position and then we're going to

50
00:02:19.370 --> 00:02:20.000
curl over

51
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.840
that hip to get down to impact.

52
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.320
Now we're going to do it without letting the foot go all the way up.

53
00:02:26.320 --> 00:02:31.280
So now we'll call that the entry level version.

54
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.120
So now a little bit more advanced.

55
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.570
So now we're going to get into this position and we're going to turn but we're

56
00:02:36.570 --> 00:02:37.040
going to

57
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:38.720
try to keep that foot flat.

58
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:43.070
So as we go to lean the wrong way, it's more by doing a crunch or more by

59
00:02:43.070 --> 00:02:44.120
pulling this

60
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.520
hut hip up rather than lifting the foot up.

61
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.530
So I'm doing a little bit of a crunch so that my pelvis is feeling like it's

62
00:02:50.530 --> 00:02:51.040
going this

63
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.040
way.

64
00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:53.200
Foot is still closer ground.

65
00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:54.200
There we go.

66
00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:55.200
Feeling my core working.

67
00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:58.920
And now I'm going to side bend in the opposite direction kind of like this.

68
00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:02.070
And from the down the line camera, you'll see that the pelvis is a little bit

69
00:03:02.070 --> 00:03:02.400
closer

70
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.150
to neutral and that the curve is happening more through the middle of my spine

71
00:03:07.150 --> 00:03:07.920
as opposed

72
00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:11.240
to getting into kind of this position here.

73
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:16.420
So some golfers have a tendency to really keep their spine braced and tight and

74
00:03:16.420 --> 00:03:16.880
it prevents

75
00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:22.060
some of this movement that helps create some of the better geometry, better low

76
00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:23.400
point control,

77
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.000
better flat spot control.

78
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.000
Okay.

79
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.490
So this is more of an isolated position and we're just going to work our way

80
00:03:29.490 --> 00:03:30.080
back into

81
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.160
some nine to threes trying to recreate that same position.

82
00:03:33.160 --> 00:03:38.870
So one more time keeping the foot flat so I'm going to hike the hip up to get

83
00:03:38.870 --> 00:03:39.520
into this

84
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.520
position.

85
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.320
Now this is kind of the more advanced way where I'm facing the golf ball

86
00:03:44.320 --> 00:03:45.000
instead of

87
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.040
facing the target, I'm going to hike that hip up.

88
00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:52.600
And now I'm going to bend over that crunch to get down to the golf ball.

89
00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:56.000
For some of you, this is going to feel like you're very bent over.

90
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.970
And for some of you, this is going to feel like you're very tall and vertical

91
00:03:58.970 --> 00:03:59.760
really depends

92
00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:03.440
on what part of your body your brain pays attention to.

93
00:04:03.440 --> 00:04:08.290
So let's get back into that lean the wrong way and then get to impact that gets

94
00:04:08.290 --> 00:04:08.840
to the

95
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.760
feeling of my pelvis being high.

96
00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:15.940
And now we're just going to do like a little almost delivering go kind of like

97
00:04:15.940 --> 00:04:17.160
an arm swing

98
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.160
trying to preset and feel that crunch position.

99
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.920
And of course we can get a little bit more dynamic with it.

100
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.400
So now we're going to use that position there as the reference, feel a really

101
00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:30.560
good crunch.

102
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.220
And now we're going to do a little bit of a nine to three kind of just getting

103
00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:35.720
back as

104
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.480
close as we can to that position.

105
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.600
And you saw there lost a little balance in the follow through.

106
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.750
If you're really exaggerating this, you'll feel a lot more weight shift to your

107
00:04:45.750 --> 00:04:46.160
heels

108
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.340
because typically even if you go, well, if you go into your heels this way,

109
00:04:51.340 --> 00:04:52.040
what'll happen

110
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.320
is you run out of range of motion and kind of get stuck.

111
00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:00.020
So while you'll be going into your heel heels, what you'll feel is that you can

112
00:05:00.020 --> 00:05:00.680
actually

113
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.840
rotate through and not get stuck at impact position.

114
00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:06.840
That's probably a better way of saying it than the initial direction there.

115
00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:10.200
OK, so let's do another one of those little nine to threes.

116
00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:13.000
Let's reset where we're trying to get to.

117
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:19.840
There's kind of that feeling of tall crunch space.

118
00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:22.440
Kind of sort of something like that.

119
00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:26.840
So as I'm getting this feeling, now I can try to add a little bit more speed.

120
00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:28.160
Now the speed might feel different.

121
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.870
Typically, if I get more into this little buckle and drop, then my speed is

122
00:05:32.870 --> 00:05:33.560
really coming

123
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:39.240
from the arms and there's this feeling of kind of falling into impact.

124
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:43.240
This is going to have more of a feeling of bracing or of pushing away from the

125
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:43.720
golf ball,

126
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.720
so you're going to feel a lot more space.

127
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:52.120
OK, so we've got that lean the wrong way, kind of crunch feel.

128
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:59.840
Now we're going to do a little bit more like a ten to two.

129
00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:04.150
When I do that, I'm going to feel a lot more space for my arms to come through

130
00:06:04.150 --> 00:06:04.680
and a lot

131
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.360
more ability to get the wipe going through impact.

132
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.230
What often happens is if golfers get that rib cage down and into the golf ball,

133
00:06:13.230 --> 00:06:13.440
the arm

134
00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:18.560
gets blocked and then it has to throw or it's helping the arm throw.

135
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.600
But we see those two kind of come working in a pair.

136
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:26.030
So if you're struggling with either the arm throw or you're struggling with

137
00:06:26.030 --> 00:06:27.240
kind of the

138
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.830
bracing and the pelvis height on the way through, try this lean the wrong way

139
00:06:30.830 --> 00:06:31.280
to get

140
00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:34.620
the turtle shell or get the abs feeling a little bit more solid through the

141
00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:35.120
release

142
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:41.520
and impact.

143
00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:48.840
Not bad, we'll hook wind today.
