00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.880
This drill is resisted trail leg buckle. So a number of golfers or a category
2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:12.360
of golfers
3
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:19.520
tends to have a little too much bending of this trail leg. It can happen in the
4
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:20.200
transition
5
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:26.230
where it's bending in or more likely during the release where it continues to
6
00:00:26.230 --> 00:00:27.120
bend in.
7
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.980
Then I'll put something here and basically say that once you get halfway down
8
00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:32.400
you want
9
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:38.000
to be moving your legs away from it. That's kind of an anti-early extension. It
10
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:38.280
creates
11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.060
some of the space. It creates the weight shift away from the golf ball. It
12
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:43.160
creates a little
13
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:47.540
bit more kind of stable pelvis. It creates a little bit more height so you
14
00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:48.240
control low
15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.040
point. It does a lot of good things. I typically highlight that we're trying to
16
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:54.000
get that leg
17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.030
to straighten from somewhere around belly button height or around 5.5 all the
18
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:00.840
way until the
19
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.360
club is close to follow through around P8. Feeling like that leg is straight
20
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:06.300
ening through
21
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:13.790
there can help if you get into more of this category or more of that category.
22
00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:14.600
So a couple
23
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:20.880
different kind of pivot problems. Now on the range or in my studio I will hold
24
00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:21.280
on to the
25
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.290
band and place it around their leg and kind of pull in this direction. Closest
26
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:26.920
I could
27
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:31.700
do here would be basically getting set up and feeling like I'm straightening
28
00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:32.480
this leg
29
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:38.240
as I'm turning my hips, as I'm doing a little bit of this turtle shell bracing
30
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:39.440
extension.
31
00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:43.820
All that good kind of body pivot on the way through. This gives me a little bit
32
00:01:43.820 --> 00:01:44.320
extra
33
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:50.470
feel of kind of like squeezing the glute and extending the back of the leg. But
34
00:01:50.470 --> 00:01:50.720
the problem
35
00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:57.810
is the band gets in the way of actually hitting the ball. So the alternative is
36
00:01:57.810 --> 00:01:59.040
we can use
37
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.470
a wall if you have kind of the corner of the wall in your backyard you can use
38
00:02:03.470 --> 00:02:04.040
or you can
39
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:09.790
place this up against a firmer object. Now there I think I've got enough that I
40
00:02:09.790 --> 00:02:10.360
can push
41
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.790
against it a little bit and hopefully it won't topple over. So now it's going
42
00:02:15.790 --> 00:02:16.160
to be hard
43
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:19.940
to do kind of a full swing because this is going to prevent me from straight
44
00:02:19.940 --> 00:02:20.440
ening it
45
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:24.690
some in the backswing. So I mostly use this for release training where I'm
46
00:02:24.690 --> 00:02:25.320
going to bring
47
00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:30.750
it back to about here and then I'm going to feel like I extend that leg as my
48
00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:31.160
body is
49
00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:37.050
turning. So it's going to feel like I have some pressure going into the wall
50
00:02:37.050 --> 00:02:37.960
that way.
51
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.910
This helps with getting my hips to go more in this back 45 rather than going
52
00:02:41.910 --> 00:02:42.560
into early
53
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.440
extension and having my lower body drifting into the golf ball too long. Now
54
00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:47.680
the hard
55
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.100
thing if you're going to try to hit this is kind of finding the right distance
56
00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:51.560
and weight
57
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:58.950
distribution. So I'm usually pretty kind to poor contact. But if I get it
58
00:02:58.950 --> 00:03:02.120
closer right
59
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.560
I'll feel like in the end there I'm getting a really good squeeze of the glute
60
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:07.240
and it might
61
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.680
feel like I'm a little bit taller and further away if I'm used to, here we'll
62
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:13.480
do kind of
63
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:20.280
the poor one. If I'm used to kind of driving the leg down kind of like that you
64
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:20.920
'll see
65
00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:26.950
that okay I did hit that more shallowly but when you look on camera you'll see
66
00:03:26.950 --> 00:03:27.480
that there
67
00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:31.410
was more of a stall and more of this big arm throw down to the bottom. Those
68
00:03:31.410 --> 00:03:32.680
two tend to
69
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.500
create some more contact and direction inconsistency with time. So here again
70
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:40.480
we'll place it kind
71
00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:45.910
of behind the leg. Again being a little bit lenient with ball position and
72
00:03:45.910 --> 00:03:46.760
contact but
73
00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:52.420
the goal here is now from that waist height that was a pretty good one. I'm
74
00:03:52.420 --> 00:03:52.880
going to feel
75
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:58.240
like I'm squeezing as I'm turning. So I'm extending that leg, squeezing the gl
76
00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:58.480
ute as
77
00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:02.270
I'm turning to get into this good kind of bridge follow-through position. It
78
00:04:02.270 --> 00:04:02.760
really
79
00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:06.520
helps with cleaning up a lower body buckle from that trail leg.

tends to have a little too much bending of this trail leg. It can happen in the

transition
5
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:26.230
where it's bending in or more likely during the release where it continues to

bend in.

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.980
Then I'll put something here and basically say that once you get halfway down

you want
9
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:38.000
to be moving your legs away from it. That's kind of an anti-early extension. It
10
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:38.280
creates
11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.060
some of the space. It creates the weight shift away from the golf ball. It

creates a little

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:47.540
bit more kind of stable pelvis. It creates a little bit more height so you
14
00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:48.240
control low
15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.040
point. It does a lot of good things. I typically highlight that we're trying to
16
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:54.000
get that leg
17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.030
to straighten from somewhere around belly button height or around 5.5 all the
18
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:00.840
way until the
19
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.360
club is close to follow through around P8. Feeling like that leg is straight
20
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:06.300
ening through
21
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:13.790
there can help if you get into more of this category or more of that category.
22
00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:14.600
So a couple
23
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:20.880
different kind of pivot problems. Now on the range or in my studio I will hold
24
00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:21.280
on to the
25
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.290
band and place it around their leg and kind of pull in this direction. Closest
26
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:26.920
I could
27
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:31.700
do here would be basically getting set up and feeling like I'm straightening
28
00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:32.480
this leg
29
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:38.240
as I'm turning my hips, as I'm doing a little bit of this turtle shell bracing
30
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:39.440
extension.
31
00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:43.820
All that good kind of body pivot on the way through. This gives me a little bit
32
00:01:43.820 --> 00:01:44.320
extra
33
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:50.470
feel of kind of like squeezing the glute and extending the back of the leg. But
34
00:01:50.470 --> 00:01:50.720
the problem
35
00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:57.810
is the band gets in the way of actually hitting the ball. So the alternative is
36
00:01:57.810 --> 00:01:59.040
we can use
37
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.470
a wall if you have kind of the corner of the wall in your backyard you can use
38
00:02:03.470 --> 00:02:04.040
or you can
39
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:09.790
place this up against a firmer object. Now there I think I've got enough that I
40
00:02:09.790 --> 00:02:10.360
can push
41
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.790
against it a little bit and hopefully it won't topple over. So now it's going
42
00:02:15.790 --> 00:02:16.160
to be hard
43
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:19.940
to do kind of a full swing because this is going to prevent me from straight
44
00:02:19.940 --> 00:02:20.440
ening it
45
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:24.690
some in the backswing. So I mostly use this for release training where I'm
46
00:02:24.690 --> 00:02:25.320
going to bring
47
00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:30.750
it back to about here and then I'm going to feel like I extend that leg as my
48
00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:31.160
body is
49
00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:37.050
turning. So it's going to feel like I have some pressure going into the wall
50
00:02:37.050 --> 00:02:37.960
that way.
51
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.910
This helps with getting my hips to go more in this back 45 rather than going
52
00:02:41.910 --> 00:02:42.560
into early
53
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.440
extension and having my lower body drifting into the golf ball too long. Now
54
00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:47.680
the hard
55
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.100
thing if you're going to try to hit this is kind of finding the right distance
56
00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:51.560
and weight
57
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:58.950
distribution. So I'm usually pretty kind to poor contact. But if I get it
58
00:02:58.950 --> 00:03:02.120
closer right
59
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.560
I'll feel like in the end there I'm getting a really good squeeze of the glute
60
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:07.240
and it might
61
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.680
feel like I'm a little bit taller and further away if I'm used to, here we'll
62
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:13.480
do kind of
63
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:20.280
the poor one. If I'm used to kind of driving the leg down kind of like that you
64
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:20.920
'll see
65
00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:26.950
that okay I did hit that more shallowly but when you look on camera you'll see
66
00:03:26.950 --> 00:03:27.480
that there
67
00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:31.410
was more of a stall and more of this big arm throw down to the bottom. Those
68
00:03:31.410 --> 00:03:32.680
two tend to
69
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.500
create some more contact and direction inconsistency with time. So here again
70
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:40.480
we'll place it kind
71
00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:45.910
of behind the leg. Again being a little bit lenient with ball position and
72
00:03:45.910 --> 00:03:46.760
contact but
73
00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:52.420
the goal here is now from that waist height that was a pretty good one. I'm
74
00:03:52.420 --> 00:03:52.880
going to feel
75
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:58.240
like I'm squeezing as I'm turning. So I'm extending that leg, squeezing the gl
76
00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:58.480
ute as
77
00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:02.270
I'm turning to get into this good kind of bridge follow-through position. It
78
00:04:02.270 --> 00:04:02.760
really
79
00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:06.520
helps with cleaning up a lower body buckle from that trail leg.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.880
This drill is resisted trail leg buckle. So a number of golfers or a category
2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:12.360
of golfers
3
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:19.520
tends to have a little too much bending of this trail leg. It can happen in the
4
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:20.200
transition
5
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:26.230
where it's bending in or more likely during the release where it continues to
6
00:00:26.230 --> 00:00:27.120
bend in.
7
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.980
Then I'll put something here and basically say that once you get halfway down
8
00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:32.400
you want
9
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:38.000
to be moving your legs away from it. That's kind of an anti-early extension. It
10
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:38.280
creates
11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.060
some of the space. It creates the weight shift away from the golf ball. It
12
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:43.160
creates a little
13
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:47.540
bit more kind of stable pelvis. It creates a little bit more height so you
14
00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:48.240
control low
15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.040
point. It does a lot of good things. I typically highlight that we're trying to
16
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:54.000
get that leg
17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.030
to straighten from somewhere around belly button height or around 5.5 all the
18
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:00.840

00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:13.790
there can help if you get into more of this category or more of that category.
22
00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:14.600

31
00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:43.820
All that good kind of body pivot on the way through. This gives me a little bit
