Improve Your Transition with Resisted Shaft Tipping Drill

After this video, you'll be able to:

  • Feel the correct movement of your arms during the transition phase.
  • Understand how to engage your forearms for improved swing dynamics.
  • Develop muscle memory for a more consistent and effective swing transition.

Learn how to use a golf cart for resistance in the tipping of the shaft during your swing transition. This drill helps you develop better control and awareness for smoother transitions on the course.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080
This drill video is resisted tipping of the shaft so tipping of the shaft is

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:11.060
what some of my students refer to as this flattening of just the arms during

3
00:00:11.060 --> 00:00:14.680
transition so if you're unfamiliar with that you're welcome to take a look at

4
00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:18.280
practicing just the arms in transition or the transition overview to understand

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.800
what the forearms are doing in relationship to the body but often times

6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.720
they I will in the lesson grab the club and provide some resistance but they

7
00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:31.520
don't have it when they're on the course so I'm going to show you how you can

8
00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:31.640
use

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.600
your golf cart to provide the resistance basically what you're going to do is

10
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.440
you're going to get set up so that your back is to the target or to the golf

11
00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:43.400
cart you're not hitting golf balls this way this is only to get a feeling that

12
00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:47.440
you could then apply when you're practicing so what I'm going to do is

13
00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:51.840
I'm going to go up to the top of my swing so somewhere around there and I'm

14
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.400
going to come down towards transition now if you have a very long swing you

15
00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:55.480
have

16
00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:58.880
to might have to come down more but we're going to take it to kind of about arm

17
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:04.160
parallel to the ground or be well before delivery position so right here what

18
00:01:04.160 --> 00:01:09.040
I'm going to do is I'm going to get into my good transition of my body and I'm

19
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:15.080
going to try and basically turn the club down into the golf cart like so now

20
00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:20.120
what what I'm going to do is I'm going to see if I can feel it by bringing this

21
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.680
right elbow in front and get it more in kind of this backside of my right

22
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:28.160
shoulder and then I'm going to see if I can feel this left side turning down

23
00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:28.880
like

24
00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:33.040
so and feel it more in the left forearm I'm going to see which is easier to

25
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:33.280
feel

26
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.200
and then I'm going to try and combine them together into one feeling so while

27
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.440
I'm pressing you want to press for about five seconds or so to help activate

28
00:01:43.440 --> 00:01:43.600
the

29
00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:47.400
muscles if you do it just very quickly your brain's not going to have enough

30
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:53.920
time if you look at techniques like muscle activation NKT typically when

31
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.840
you're trying to activate muscle they do five to six second isometric holds so

32
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.280
we're just going to do that at the top of the swing where we want to get

33
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:00.680
certain

34
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.360
muscles active so up here I'm going to get that feeling then I'm going to step

35
00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:14.180
away and I'm going to let that feeling happen even more so that feeling from

36
00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:14.280
the

37
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.740
top of the swing is basically this but I'm trying to do it kind of in a

38
00:02:18.740 --> 00:02:19.720
controlled

39
00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:26.040
almost guided way and what'll happen is as I'm rotating as I do that that'll

40
00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:29.720
allow my body to stay a little bit more over the golf ball and help control the

41
00:02:29.720 --> 00:02:33.600
path what most golfers do is they get up to the top of the swing and then the

42
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:39.880
arms go very very steep and unless I was Charles Barkley I would stand up to

43
00:02:39.880 --> 00:02:45.160
balance it back out so working on this forums flattening during transition is

44
00:02:45.160 --> 00:02:49.000
one of the key movements if you want to stabilize your body pivot which helps

45
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.080
with both distance and consistency in building your stock full swing
