Improve Your Downswing Timing with the Rewind to Impact Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Understand the importance of lower body movement in the downswing
- Practice transitioning from follow-through to impact for better timing
- Identify common mistakes that lead to early upper body movement
In this video, you'll learn the Rewind to Impact drill to enhance your downswing timing. By focusing on your lower body movement, you'll discover how to lead with your hips for better impact positions.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.460
This drill is rewind to impact so I love to play around with time especially
2
00:00:06.460 --> 00:00:10.280
moving backwards because I think that you can understand body positions and
3
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:14.520
movements better whenever you can kind of play it forward or play it
4
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:18.760
backward like if I asked you to throw a ball most people can make some type of
5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:23.660
throwing motion if I said go ahead and replay that or move it backward you
6
00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:23.720
could
7
00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:28.600
kind of figure out where you would be okay be kind of like this I think that
8
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.640
that is a that's a demonstration of clearly understanding the movement that
9
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:39.120
you're trying to do so rewind to impact is basically to help you get your lower
10
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:45.040
body to lead the downswing and to have that lower body open before the release
11
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:50.800
happens or as the releases happening so basically what you're gonna do is you
12
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:50.840
're
13
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.920
gonna go into your really good follow-through position so you're gonna have
14
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.640
the club pointing out away from you just like so side bend upper body still on
15
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.000
top of the golf ball but lower body over that lead foot and arms fully
16
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.560
extended then from here I'm going to bring the club back while freezing my
17
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.680
body now that's a slight exaggeration but really only slight what what a lot of
18
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.840
golfers do is when they may contact with the golf ball because the arms get
19
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.400
involved too soon the upper body stands up and the body will be facing the golf
20
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.360
ball kind of like so so what I'll have them do is I'll have them do this go to
21
00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:37.560
follow through position and that just demonstrates that they're physically
22
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.480
able to make enough turn so now it becomes more of a timing thing than an
23
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:48.000
absolute amount of turn most people think they need to turn more but because
24
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:48.160
they
25
00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:51.800
get that amount of turn in the follow through it's really that they need to
26
00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:57.280
turn earlier it's a timing thing it's not an amount of movement so they're
27
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:03.960
used to no movement and early arms what I'll do a lot is I'll have them go to
28
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:07.360
this waist height position I'll come in and I'll physically grab their ribcage
29
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:11.080
and prevent their ribcage and pelvis from moving as they bring their arms back
30
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:15.040
and what they'll find is they will typically feel like either their lower
31
00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:19.840
body or their upper body or both is rotated a lot more at the point of
32
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:25.160
contact then you can try and do a little 9 to 3 where you basically feel like
33
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:33.520
that lower body and that core pulls the arms down into that impact position so
34
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:38.920
basically like so as opposed to having the majority of the hit done with the
35
00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:44.320
arms hopefully this drill helps you work on your sequencing and finally
36
00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:50.080
figuring out what it feels like to get that lower body open early enough not
37
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.960
necessarily more
