00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
This drill is screw into the ground.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
So this is a drill for golfers who have a hard time getting rotation out of the lower

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
body.

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
I do want to caution that this is not the best drill for golfers who are struggling with

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
more of a hangback because this tends to focus more on the rotation and not enough of the

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Jackson 5 or the weight shift before the rotation.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
So I consider this kind of a compliment to more of the 360 jump for golfers who have

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
a hard time feeling in transition of a little bit more lowering with the rotation.

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
This can be a good way to get it feeling especially in that front leg.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
So we're going to use a Frisbee or a Furniture slider first to take away some friction before

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
we then add more of a loaded version.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
So what we're going to try to do here, I've got the Furniture slider or if you've

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
got a Frisbee or even a paper plate can work, you're going to put it under your front foot

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
for me under my left foot.

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And then what I'm going to do is, even without the golf club at first, all I'm going to

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
try and do is I'm just trying to screw this foot into the ground.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
So I'm going to feel like I'm going to be pushing against the ground as I turn that foot

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
towards the target kind of like this.

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
And I'll feel my pelvis lower as well as it drops down.

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
And I'll feel that in order to push in the ground, I have to have my hip in a good alignment

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
with the foot.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
If I go too far here, I don't have a lot to push with.

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And if I'm way over this right foot, I don't have a lot to push with.

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So it helps me feel that alignment of the hip right on top of the ankle.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So then what I really like to do is I'll then go to a spot of grass and actually try

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
to get you or try to get my students to dig a hole by twisting the foot.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
I remember when I worked with a long drive guy in Denver, we would have to move the

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
station about every five balls.

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
This one practice session because he was just tearing into the ground so much.

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Okay, so now we've got this feeling.

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
You'll see you can potentially hit some really easy shots, but because it doesn't have

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:30,000
any friction, it's really easy to get out of hand or it's really easy to get into a dangerous

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
position and kind of slide yourself out of alignment.

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000
But if I were to do this as kind of a pump feel where I'm spinning wall pushing down

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:48,000
into that leg, that would load into that kind of delivery position and then from there

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
I would feel like I could come out of it.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Now, like I said, because you don't have the friction, it's actually really hard to hit

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
balls with it, but it's great for getting that initial feeling of the combination of

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
down with twist and it gives you a little bit of the feeling of the weight shift.

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
So now we're going to try and we're going to do that delivery pump kind of focusing on

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,000
that lead leg screwing into the ground or trying to dig a hole as it's twisting.

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
So go up to the top of your swing.

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Now we're going to try and dig that hole while we're twisting a couple of times and then

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
at the end of that pump let it go.

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
This can also, I've seen this work really well for helping golfers from the down the line

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:44,000
video getting more of their lower body open because as you're doing this it's really

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
hard to do it from the upper body.

00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,000
So if you're using the slider or especially if you're doing it against the ground you

00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000
can get a sense of doing it with just the lower body especially if you have a club in your

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
hand and you're monitoring this delivery position and not letting the upper body do it

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
and bring the club out.

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,000
If I'm just kind of twisting there I feel a really good core oblique and glute activity

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
as I'm doing this exercise.

00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000
So now I'm going to do that pump one more time so up to the top of the swing.

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
I'm going to screw in the ground trying to get that lower body open once I have a feel

00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
and I'm just going to let those arms release however I've been practicing.

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Now I'm going to try to work on the timing of it so you'll notice when I'm doing this

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
my upper body is getting into this position.

00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
So as I'm screwing into the ground I'm going to feel like my lower body gets into this

00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
position and then they're both going to release together.

00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Some golfers who have trouble with the timing of this lower body will continue screwing

00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
into the ground all the way down to impact.

00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
So that would look more kind of like this where I was screwing all the way down into

00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
impact and I had to just throw my arms where if I do it with a little bit better timing

00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
then I'm going to screw into the ground and then push up out of the ground as my release

00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
begins.

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,000
So there's a sense of more of this one too.

00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
There's just a one if I have more of this upper body dominant swing or more of a really

00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
rapid impulse which tends to prevent me from getting my lower body to work properly.

00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:41,000
So if you're struggling with your transition delivery position where either you are extending

00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000
this leg and coming up right away which is a company with more of an arm pull.

00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
This one can help or if you're sliding so far that you're past the foot and then left

00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
with just a throw this one can help.

00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
So it's really good for a couple kind of lower body dysfunctions in transition.

00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,000
So now we'll try one with just kind of that screw feeling with the timing of the drop

00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
and then the push.

00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
I'm going to like that.
