1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.920
Israel video is the sequencing starter kit. So sequencing is the word that we

2
00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:11.920
use to describe

3
00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:15.540
kind of the order of what's moving in transition. The other word that you'll

4
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:16.160
hear thrown around

5
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:21.520
is disassociation. So disassociation is basically learning to move one part of

6
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:21.680
your

7
00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:25.720
body independent from the other part, the other parts of your body. In this

8
00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:26.400
case, we often

9
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:31.830
want to have the sequencing to start from the ground up before the shoulders

10
00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:33.120
move in the

11
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.310
direction of the target. This builds a tension through the core that acts as a

12
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:38.880
little bit of a

13
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:44.240
catapult and creates speed as well as a shallow path, slower club face closure,

14
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.040
lots of the traits

15
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:48.760
that we see with the stock tour swing. So oftentimes, I start people with this

16
00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:50.480
little sequence. We're

17
00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:54.720
going to put the club across your shoulders. I've got a club for my shoulders

18
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:55.840
and a alignment stick

19
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.330
for my hips just to make it more obvious, but you don't necessarily need to

20
00:00:58.330 --> 00:00:59.280
have to hold anything.

21
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.490
You can just stand up and do this at home or on the range. So first one we're

22
00:01:03.490 --> 00:01:05.120
going to do is we're

23
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.320
going to try and turn our upper body to the right and to the left, back and

24
00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:10.560
forth, without moving

25
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.990
the lower body. Hopefully it stays pretty still. You can check in a mirror or

26
00:01:14.990 --> 00:01:16.800
look at it on camera.

27
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:23.120
And then second, we're going to try to turn the lower body both directions. And

28
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.640
so if you struggle

29
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.020
with that, you'll probably have a little bit of struggling with sequencing. But

30
00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:28.960
I think that you

31
00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:33.360
can kind of work through it as well. So then the next step would be I'm going

32
00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:35.280
to try to simultaneously

33
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:40.880
turn my upper body to the right and my lower body to the left. Now you'll see

34
00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:41.920
that when I do this,

35
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:49.110
my upper body tends to not move quite as much, but it doesn't follow. So the

36
00:01:49.110 --> 00:01:49.840
lower body, I'm

37
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.530
going to be able to move a little bit more in the upper body turning in the

38
00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:54.720
opposite direction.

39
00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:58.810
If I'm doing it more from the ribs and not just kind of pulling the shoulder

40
00:01:58.810 --> 00:01:59.200
back,

41
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.390
then I'll be able to do a little bit less movement for the upper body, but they

42
00:02:04.390 --> 00:02:05.440
're kind of coordinated

43
00:02:05.440 --> 00:02:09.190
where they're moving in opposite directions. Next, I'm going to go up to the

44
00:02:09.190 --> 00:02:10.000
top of my swing,

45
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.630
and I'm going to try to do that same thing. So I'm going to leave a little bit

46
00:02:14.630 --> 00:02:15.280
of slack in my

47
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.830
upper body, probably more than I would normally do in my real swing, so that I

48
00:02:18.830 --> 00:02:19.440
can turn my

49
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:25.360
shoulders in my upper body that way as I'm turning my lower body that way. When

50
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:25.760
I do this,

51
00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:29.800
I'm going to feel a big stretch in my core. Now what I can do is I can get into

52
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.560
that position,

53
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.010
and then I can feel like I keep my lower body moving and I let my upper body

54
00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:35.440
close that stretch.

55
00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:39.750
That's more of the release sequence. So next one, I'm going to do that kind of

56
00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:40.880
in more of a

57
00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:44.950
unified downswing. So I'm going to go up to the top, then I'm going to do that

58
00:02:44.950 --> 00:02:46.880
disassociation move,

59
00:02:46.880 --> 00:02:52.160
and then I'm going to kind of close the gap. So we'll do that one more time,

60
00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:53.040
but this time

61
00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:57.670
has a one-piece downswing. So I'm going to go up to the top, and then you'll

62
00:02:57.670 --> 00:02:58.640
see a little bit

63
00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:04.640
of a disassociation move or sequencing move. And if you're doing this, the kind

64
00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:05.520
of the full

65
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:12.720
advanced version, then when I get down to impact, the shoulders should contact

66
00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:14.400
the alignment stick,

67
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.630
you're kind of like that. Now I would recommend either pulling the stick so

68
00:03:20.630 --> 00:03:21.520
that it's far out

69
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:26.710
to the side, just to make sure that you're not going to stab it, or you can

70
00:03:26.710 --> 00:03:27.920
take this stick out.

71
00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:33.110
But if we leave it there, you'll see that if I really do this, it might get in

72
00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:34.080
the way of my hands,

73
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.600
so I'm going to take this out. And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to try

74
00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:38.560
to do a 9-3,

75
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.760
almost like a pelvic punch, where I'm going to feel like I get into that slight

76
00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:45.520
delay. Now,

77
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:50.960
it probably doesn't look like much on the camera, but I felt like my upper body

78
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.320
went this way just

79
00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:58.720
before it went towards the target. So it has a little bit of a kind of pulling

80
00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:00.080
back this way

81
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.410
before it goes towards the target, and it builds this little kind of feeling of

82
00:04:04.410 --> 00:04:05.920
like a whip or feeling

83
00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:09.600
of like a catapult down towards the bottom of the swing. So first step is doing

84
00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:10.800
it on some 9-3s,

85
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:17.920
very similar to a pelvic punch. So we'll bring it back kind of like that. And

86
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.480
then we can work

87
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.900
bigger and bigger swings, but then as you get up to the full swing, as we get

88
00:04:23.900 --> 00:04:24.720
to the biggest

89
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:29.340
swing you can do, then it's not so much that it's going to go more, but it's

90
00:04:29.340 --> 00:04:30.480
going to occupy a

91
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.360
little bit longer into the downswing. So you're going to feel like you do it

92
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.760
longer disassociation,

93
00:04:35.760 --> 00:04:41.280
not necessarily more disassociation. So we'll go up to the top and we'll feel

94
00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:42.560
like we create a

95
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:49.200
little bit of this separation or disassociation or sequencing. So up to the top

96
00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:49.200
.

97
00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:56.320
Now, if you find when you do this that you start hitting balls off to the right

98
00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:57.280
or making

99
00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:00.950
poor contact, check on video to see if you're losing some of your impact line

100
00:05:00.950 --> 00:05:01.760
and your access

101
00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:05.430
till or if it's going off to the right, look it, make sure that the clubface is

102
00:05:05.430 --> 00:05:06.080
closing because

103
00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:09.530
oftentimes when you create this disassociation, you create more lag and lag

104
00:05:09.530 --> 00:05:10.720
opens to the clubface.

105
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.920
But this can be a really good sequencing drill if you feel like you're doing

106
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:14.640
really good with the

107
00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:19.370
9-3s, but you have more of an upper body dominant pattern and it's breaking

108
00:05:19.370 --> 00:05:20.240
down as you get into

109
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.680
the full swing. Learning to sequence can be one of those glues that creates a

110
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.360
lot better rhythm

111
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.520
and consistency, both in terms of ground contact as well as clubface control

112
00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:30.240
and a little bit of

113
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:36.000
extra power.
