00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
This drill is the Sasho Two Step.
2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:07.720
So one of our favorite researchers is Dr. Sasho Mackenzie and he had a video
3
00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:08.440
that came out
4
00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:13.650
through BodyTrack and I've been using his concept in drill pretty successfully
5
00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:14.040
with
6
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:19.080
getting people to feel the proper amount of push into the lead leg.
7
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:23.230
So we're going to walk through that and to pay homage, we're going to call it
8
00:00:23.230 --> 00:00:23.840
the Sasho
9
00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:25.080
Two Step.
10
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:30.580
So basically what he showed was on average, you want to try to get about one
11
00:00:30.580 --> 00:00:31.380
and a half
12
00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:35.960
times your body weight going into that front foot fairly quickly.
13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.300
Now most students have no idea what one and a half times their body weight
14
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:40.360
feels like.
15
00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:45.240
But if you've ever jogged, jogging is about one and a half times your body
16
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:46.440
weight of force
17
00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:47.600
on each step.
18
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.080
So I'll have people not really jog but take a little step and I want to make
19
00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:52.760
sure that
20
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:56.580
the back foot comes off the ground before the front foot lands.
21
00:00:56.580 --> 00:01:00.640
So it's not just a walking movement.
22
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.400
It's an actual little hop and land like in a jog.
23
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.190
So that'll get you, I kind of get a sense of how much my foot is pushing into
24
00:01:09.190 --> 00:01:10.680
the ground.
25
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.880
Then what I do is I'm going to have that hop sideways.
26
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:20.520
And you'll see as I land, I'm going to bend my knee just like if I was running.
27
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:24.160
There's a little shock absorber movement of that knee landing.
28
00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:27.720
So I have a couple videos of the single leg squat and jump.
29
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:32.220
This is just a more dynamic and kind of precise amount of how much you're going
30
00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:32.840
to get into
31
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:33.840
that leg.
32
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.690
Then what I'll say is after you land into that leg, you're going to push and
33
00:01:38.690 --> 00:01:39.360
when you
34
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:44.800
push, you're going to feel like your arms would extend.
35
00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:53.150
So then we'll take the golf stance, normal golf stance and we'll try to do the
36
00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:53.920
step without
37
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.200
letting the arms come down.
38
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.340
So I'm just going to take a few and just kind of get used to stepping into that
39
00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:00.480
lead side.
40
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:07.490
Now making sure that I'm not doing it by lunging my upper body but that I'm
41
00:02:07.490 --> 00:02:08.560
just stepping into
42
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.300
that side, either staying centered or even getting a little bit behind if I'm
43
00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:12.860
training
44
00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:15.140
it more for the driver.
45
00:02:15.140 --> 00:02:18.850
Once I have that feeling, then I can take some swings and my goal is to make
46
00:02:18.850 --> 00:02:20.260
that step happen
47
00:02:20.260 --> 00:02:26.880
as early as possible, really getting into that lead foot as I'm ending my back
48
00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:27.480
swing
49
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:29.900
as the trigger to start my downswing.
50
00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:36.960
So now I'm going to make some swings or basically get into that step really
51
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:37.660
early.
52
00:02:37.660 --> 00:02:41.920
And then from that step, I'm just going to let my arms extend.
53
00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:50.600
So get into that left side quickly and then get out of it.
54
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:53.580
I'll work on trying to find the ground or take practice swings where the club
55
00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:54.000
brushes
56
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.210
the ground and then I'm going to make swings, brushing the ground and letting
57
00:02:58.210 --> 00:02:58.960
the ball get
58
00:02:58.960 --> 00:02:59.960
in the way.
59
00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:00.960
Okay.
60
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:09.100
So we're going to practice that step, then we're going to get step swing.
61
00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:12.100
Now we're going to practice step swing ground.
62
00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:15.500
So brush the ground just like that.
63
00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:25.380
Now we're going to practice step swing ground and let the ball get in the way.
64
00:03:25.380 --> 00:03:30.070
So working on a little bit more quickness to that weight shift can help you
65
00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:30.780
with your
66
00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:35.220
sequencing especially when it comes to the longer clubs.

38
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.340
So I'm just going to take a few and just kind of get used to stepping into that
39
00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:00.480
lead side.
40
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:07.490
Now making sure that I'm not doing it by lunging my upper body but that I'm
41
00:02:07.490 --> 00:02:08.560
just stepping into
42
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.300
that side, either staying centered or even getting a little bit behind if I'm
43
00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:12.860
training
44
00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:15.140
it more for the driver.
45
00:02:15.140 --> 00:02:18.850
Once I have that feeling, then I can take some swings and my goal is to make
46
00:02:18.850 --> 00:02:20.260
that step happen
47
00:02:20.260 --> 00:02:26.880
as early as possible, really getting into that lead foot as I'm ending my back
48
00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:27.480
swing
49
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:29.900
as the trigger to start my downswing.
50
00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:36.960
So now I'm going to make some swings or basically get into that step really
51
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:37.660
early.
52
00:02:37.660 --> 00:02:41.920
And then from that step, I'm just going to let my arms extend.
53
00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:50.600
So get into that left side quickly and then get out of it.
54
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:53.580
I'll work on trying to find the ground or take practice swings where the club
55
00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:54.000
brushes
56
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.210
the ground and then I'm going to make swings, brushing the ground and letting
57
00:02:58.210 --> 00:02:58.960
the ball get
58
00:02:58.960 --> 00:02:59.960
in the way.
59
00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:00.960
Okay.
60
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:09.100
So we're going to practice that step, then we're going to get step swing.
61
00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:12.100
Now we're going to practice step swing ground.
62
00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:15.500
So brush the ground just like that.
63
00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:25.380
Now we're going to practice step swing ground and let the ball get in the way.
64
00:03:25.380 --> 00:03:30.070
So working on a little bit more quickness to that weight shift can help you
65
00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:30.780
with your
66
00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:35.220
sequencing especially when it comes to the longer clubs.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
This drill is the Sasho Two Step.
2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:07.720
So one of our favorite researchers is Dr. Sasho Mackenzie and he had a video
3
00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:08.440
that came out
4
00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:13.650
through BodyTrack and I've been using his concept in drill pretty successfully
5
00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:14.040
with
6
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:19.080
getting people to feel the proper amount of push into the lead leg.
7
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:23.230
So we're going to walk through that and to pay homage, we're going to call it
8
00:00:23.230 --> 00:00:23.840
the Sasho
9
00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:25.080
Two Step.
10
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:30.580
So basically what he showed was on average, you want to try to get about one
11
00:00:30.580 --> 00:00:31.380
and a half
12
00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:35.960
times your body weight going into that front foot fairly quickly.
13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.300
Now most students have no idea what one and a half times their body weight
14
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:40.360
feels like.
15
00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:45.240
But if you've ever jogged, jogging is about one and a half times your body
16
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:46.440
weight of force
17
00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:47.600
on each step.
18
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.080
So I'll have people not really jog but take a little step and I want to make
19
00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:52.760
sure that
20
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:56.580
the back foot comes off the ground before the front foot lands.
21
00:00:56.580 --> 00:01:00.640
So it's not just a walking movement.
22
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.400
It's an actual little hop and land like in a jog.
23
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.190
So that'll get you, I kind of get a sense of how much my foot is pushing into
24
00:01:09.190 --> 00:01:10.680
the ground.
25
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.880
Then what I do is I'm going to have that hop sideways.
26
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:20.520
And you'll see as I land, I'm going to bend my knee just like if I was running.
27
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:24.160
There's a little shock absorber movement of that knee landing.
28
00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:27.720
So I have a couple videos of the single leg squat and jump.
29
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:32.220
This is just a more dynamic and kind of precise amount of how much you're going
30
00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:32.840
to get into
31
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:33.840
that leg.
32
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.690
Then what I'll say is after you land into that leg, you're going to push and
33
00:01:38.690 --> 00:01:39.360
when you
34
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:44.800
push, you're going to feel like your arms would extend.
35
00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:53.150
So then we'll take the golf stance, normal golf stance and we'll try to do the
36
00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:53.920
step without
37
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.200
letting the arms come down.
38
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.340
So I'm just going to take a few and just kind of get used to stepping into that
39
00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:00.480
lead side.
40
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:07.490
Now making sure that I'm not doing it by lunging my upper body but that I'm
41
00:02:07.490 --> 00:02:08.560
just stepping into
42
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.300
that side, either staying centered or even getting a little bit behind if I'm
43
00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:12.860
training
44
00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:15.140
it more for the driver.
45
00:02:15.140 --> 00:02:18.850
Once I have that feeling, then I can take some swings and my goal is to make
46
00:02:18.850 --> 00:02:20.260
that step happen
47
00:02:20.260 --> 00:02:26.880
as early as possible, really getting into that lead foot as I'm ending my back
48
00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:27.480
swing
49
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:29.900
as the trigger to start my downswing.
50
00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:36.960
So now I'm going to make some swings or basically get into that step really
51
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:37.660
early.
52
00:02:37.660 --> 00:02:41.920
And then from that step, I'm just going to let my arms extend.
53
00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:50.600
So get into that left side quickly and then get out of it.
54
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:53.580
I'll work on trying to find the ground or take practice swings where the club
55
00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:54.000
brushes
56
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.210
the ground and then I'm going to make swings, brushing the ground and letting
57
00:02:58.210 --> 00:02:58.960
the ball get
58
00:02:58.960 --> 00:02:59.960
in the way.
59
00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:00.960
Okay.
60
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:09.100
So we're going to practice that step, then we're going to get step swing.
61
00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:12.100
Now we're going to practice step swing ground.
62
00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:15.500
So brush the ground just like that.
63
00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:25.380
Now we're going to practice step swing ground and let the ball get in the way.
64
00:03:25.380 --> 00:03:30.070
So working on a little bit more quickness to that weight shift can help you
65
00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:30.780
with your
66
00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:35.220
sequencing especially when it comes to the longer clubs.
