After this video, you'll be able to:

  • Identify the correct position at impact and how to return to it
  • Practice the proper sequencing of your body during the swing
  • Develop a clearer understanding of your swing mechanics by rewinding the motion

In this video, you'll learn the Rewind Drill to enhance your awareness of the impact position in your swing. Understanding this movement is crucial for better sequencing and ball striking.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.020
This drill is rewind from impact.

2
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:10.040
So one of the things that I like to do is if you are well aware of how you're

3
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:10.700
moving,

4
00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:13.580
you should be able to press play or press rewind.

5
00:00:13.580 --> 00:00:16.860
What I mean by that is, if I give you a ball and I said to throw it, and I said

6
00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:17.340
, "Okay,"

7
00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:22.060
and you threw it, and I said, "Now slowly bring it back," you could probably

8
00:00:22.060 --> 00:00:22.540
recreate

9
00:00:22.540 --> 00:00:24.820
the pattern that your body made.

10
00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:30.170
What happens is with a golf swing, oftentimes we get just this blur of movement

11
00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:30.620
and we really

12
00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:32.660
have no idea what we're doing.

13
00:00:32.660 --> 00:00:38.850
So one of the fun ways that I like to use this messing around with time is

14
00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:39.700
going to

15
00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:43.100
impact and then going back to delivery position.

16
00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:47.820
So if you haven't gone there, delivery position is in the transition section,

17
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:48.060
and it helps

18
00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:53.340
you figure out this good little intermediate point before the release happens.

19
00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:57.520
So the delivery position looks something like this.

20
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.870
So what we're going to do is we're going to get into this impact position that

21
00:01:02.870 --> 00:01:03.220
all

22
00:01:03.220 --> 00:01:08.580
the good pieces of weight left, spine down, hands ahead, all that.

23
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:14.070
From here, if we looked at, one of the things that we talk about is the

24
00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:15.240
sequencing of the

25
00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:16.240
body, right?

26
00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:19.030
So from the top of the swing, we're going to sequence the lower body first,

27
00:01:19.030 --> 00:01:20.380
then the core,

28
00:01:20.380 --> 00:01:23.840
then the arms, then the hands, more or less, right?

29
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.710
Well, if that were true, then when I press rewind, the first thing that should

30
00:01:29.710 --> 00:01:30.340
move back

31
00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:32.460
should be just the hands.

32
00:01:32.460 --> 00:01:36.220
Notice how my body didn't really change.

33
00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:39.640
Oftentimes I get people in this posture and I say, "Okay, go ahead and press re

34
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:39.980
wind and

35
00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:42.980
they'll go like this," and everything moved back.

36
00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:46.830
So that's telling me that their brain thinks that everything is going to come

37
00:01:46.830 --> 00:01:47.180
down into

38
00:01:47.180 --> 00:01:48.340
the golf ball.

39
00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:53.060
What I teach in the release is that during this phase, the body is kind of

40
00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:53.860
pushing up,

41
00:01:53.860 --> 00:01:58.660
but it's not really rotating its on as those arms extend.

42
00:01:58.660 --> 00:02:05.350
So we're just going to practice getting into impact and then coming back into

43
00:02:05.350 --> 00:02:06.540
delivery.

44
00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:10.300
Impact, coming back into delivery.

45
00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:15.410
The only thing that you'll see change is basically my hands and a little bit of

46
00:02:15.410 --> 00:02:16.580
I'm recreating

47
00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:21.580
some of the squat that I will be jumping through the release.

48
00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:24.830
So if you haven't watched the transition in the release section, that may be a

49
00:02:24.830 --> 00:02:25.180
little

50
00:02:25.180 --> 00:02:29.030
bit more complicated, but what you can practice is getting that weight on that

51
00:02:29.030 --> 00:02:29.540
left side with

52
00:02:29.540 --> 00:02:34.100
the hands ahead and then going back and forth just like so.

53
00:02:34.100 --> 00:02:39.970
And then you can try and take some swings where you get into transition and you

54
00:02:39.970 --> 00:02:40.860
get into that

55
00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:44.660
preset position that you just saw by doing the rewind drill.

56
00:02:44.660 --> 00:02:48.830
So I think the rewind drill is great for eliminating some of the blank spots or

57
00:02:48.830 --> 00:02:49.740
the black spots

58
00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:55.260
that you might have in this movement and clearing up where your body is going

59
00:02:55.260 --> 00:02:55.980
to be during

60
00:02:55.980 --> 00:02:56.620
the release.
