00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.200
This is my view of the pushball drill. The pushball drill is a great drill for
2
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:10.520
going from impact to follow through. So if we just refresh what that's gonna be
3
00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:10.520
.
4
00:00:10.520 --> 00:00:15.380
So impact position, most of my weights on my lead foot, shoulders are kind of
5
00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:19.320
tilted and rotated, right arm is gonna be slightly bent, lead arms pretty
6
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:19.680
straight,
7
00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:23.640
left wrist is neutral, right wrist is cut. So that's kind of those checkpoints
8
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.600
for you. Now during the release my body is gonna continue rotating as my arms
9
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:34.460
extend. So this follow through position is going to be basically the end of my
10
00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:38.360
swing or when my arms have reached their kind of furthest point away from me.
11
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:39.360
So
12
00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:43.440
the pushball drill is literally practicing going from those two movements.
13
00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.640
So I'm gonna get in my setup position, then I'm going to rotate to impact and
14
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:56.160
now from impact I'm gonna go ahead and I'm going to extend my arms and kind of
15
00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:00.720
push or throw the ball. You'll feel or you'll see that the club stays low to
16
00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:06.270
the ground as my arms extend. Now this is a nine iron. The more loft you have
17
00:01:06.270 --> 00:01:06.880
the
18
00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:12.960
harder it's going to be. But one other little key to this is you have to make
19
00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:17.320
sure that the club is actually in contact with the golf ball when you go to
20
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:18.160
push.
21
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:24.680
Otherwise when you go to push let's say I'm back here when I go to push the
22
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:24.840
ball
23
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.800
we'll just kind of slide up the face. So that was an exaggeration. The other
24
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:34.220
thing that this catches is if I try to use just my hands to release the club.
25
00:01:34.220 --> 00:01:34.320
So
26
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:38.640
if I'm in this good impact position and I just kind of use my hands you'll see
27
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.600
that the ball just slides up the face. So pushball drill is a great drill from
28
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:46.560
going from setup position to impact position and then you can train it with
29
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.640
little nine to three and moving on to full swings.
