00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.820
This drill is posture with a tail. So a fun little visual for getting into good
2
00:00:06.820 --> 00:00:12.060
setup posture is making sure that you've hip-hinged. I talk about finding
3
00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:15.230
your hips and making sure that you've hip-hinged. Well, an easy way to
4
00:00:15.230 --> 00:00:15.540
visualize
5
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:21.180
that is if you were to take the club and place it across your chest or stomach,
6
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:26.140
so it's vertical just like so, and then you were to hip hinge, you can see that
7
00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:30.780
basically I would have a tail sticking out behind me somewhere along here. If I
8
00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:36.020
were to place it along my back and do the same thing, hinge, you can see that
9
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:42.860
tail sticking out back there. A lot of golfers will tend to sit more into their
10
00:00:42.860 --> 00:00:46.780
knees like so, and now you can see my tail is basically sticking straight
11
00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:52.380
between my legs as opposed to pointing at least a few feet behind me. So this
12
00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:52.540
is
13
00:00:52.540 --> 00:00:57.500
a great little visual that you can use to practice your setup position and
14
00:00:57.500 --> 00:00:57.740
making
15
00:00:57.740 --> 00:01:01.180
sure that you're bending from the hips, keeping your spine in good alignment as
16
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:06.140
opposed to bending from the knees and sacrificing your hip aligned. So when
17
00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:10.340
you're getting good setup posture, make sure you have a tail.
