00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.340
This is the right hip closed drill for helping you overcome your sway
2
00:00:04.340 --> 00:00:09.460
pattern. If you remember from the overview video when you sway your pelvis
3
00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:09.660
tends
4
00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.980
to shift into the trail leg and your weight tends to go to the outside of your
5
00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:17.540
foot. Now what we're going to do here is we're going to pay attention to the
6
00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:22.040
space between your right hip. If I were to get in my golf posture and you were
7
00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:22.180
to
8
00:00:22.180 --> 00:00:27.700
look at the space between my spine and my leg when I sway that space kind of
9
00:00:27.700 --> 00:00:32.410
increases almost like I'm showing my hip off to my neighbor over there, right?
10
00:00:32.410 --> 00:00:32.900
When
11
00:00:32.900 --> 00:00:37.860
you pivot around the hip or rotate through the hip what will happen is it
12
00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:43.020
will actually possibly increase in angle and it will stay very much closed as
13
00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:47.400
opposed to open like I was pointing it over there. So this is just a little
14
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:47.780
kind
15
00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:53.820
of imaginary visual drill to help you with the concept of what it's going to
16
00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:54.180
look
17
00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:59.100
like for this part of your body when you make the proper pivot. You can combine
18
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:03.140
it with any of the other drills to feel weight or pressure but this drill can
19
00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:07.580
help you overcome if the right hip is really the issue with why you're swaying.
