00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.040
This drill is at home setup practice. Now setup practice is because you're not
2
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:12.640
actually hitting golf ball the easiest one to do at home because obviously you
3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.540
can do pretty much the exact same drills that you would do on the range. At
4
00:00:16.540 --> 00:00:16.880
home
5
00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:20.880
the only problem is you're not going to be able to hit golf balls. Because you
6
00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:21.000
're
7
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.800
not going to be able to hit golf balls you're going to get bored. So I
8
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:31.520
recommend that you do these in short intense practice sessions. For example
9
00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:36.880
if you're watching a football game or if you're watching a football game by
10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.320
yourself you can obviously practice these. If you're watching with buddies I
11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:45.550
recommend you don't you'll probably get made fun of. But tying it to some type
12
00:00:45.550 --> 00:00:46.000
of
13
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.600
habit. So every time a commercial comes up every time I have to go to the
14
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:49.040
restroom
15
00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:53.280
every time I have to go get another beer any of those things can be a great
16
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.680
trigger for okay I'm going to do five reps or ten reps focusing on whatever
17
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:03.760
issue I'm working on. So the biggest one for setup is working on this hip hinge
18
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:03.760
.
19
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:08.220
Now I have a bunch of videos on how to do that so I'm not going to go into
20
00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:14.200
great detail there. But even just practicing five repetitions or so of
21
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.320
feeling my hips going through this motion and not doing it from my spine
22
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:24.720
will help reinforce when I get into my setup posture with an actual golf
23
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:29.960
ball there. The one that's the biggest is if you are making any type of grip
24
00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:36.320
change this one is almost easier to practice at home. For a while when I
25
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:40.200
was working on my grip when I was playing mostly high school college I
26
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.960
would sit I would have a club next to the couch so that when I was playing or
27
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:47.870
when I was watching TV I could take my grip. And I got to the point where I
28
00:01:47.870 --> 00:01:48.040
could
29
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.800
take my grip. So here eyes closed just feeling the weight and we'll see it's
30
00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:57.730
been a little while since I did this not too bad. So just feeling the weight
31
00:01:57.730 --> 00:01:58.280
and
32
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:03.360
getting the club in the right position in my hands. So the things are you can
33
00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:08.640
focus on in setup are the hip hinge the arms being more relaxed are kind of
34
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:12.780
hanging getting used to specific alignments if you're going to do the
35
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:17.400
alignment version I recommend you put sticks on the ground or use tape on the
36
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.360
ground but something to give you a little bit of feedback and then practicing
37
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:21.560
your
38
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.960
grip. The other ones you can work on would be feeling your weight distribution
39
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.360
or feeling your pressure distribution so if I'm going to hit an iron getting
40
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.520
used to being a little bit more on my left foot if I'm gonna hit a driver
41
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.960
getting a little bit more used on the right foot. So some simple things you can
42
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.360
do at home to work on setup like I said setup is the easiest one to practice at
43
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.500

29
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.800
take my grip. So here eyes closed just feeling the weight and we'll see it's
30
00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:57.730
been a little while since I did this not too bad. So just feeling the weight
31
00:01:57.730 --> 00:01:58.280
and
32
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:03.360
getting the club in the right position in my hands. So the things are you can
33
00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:08.640
focus on in setup are the hip hinge the arms being more relaxed are kind of
34
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:12.780
hanging getting used to specific alignments if you're going to do the
35
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:17.400
alignment version I recommend you put sticks on the ground or use tape on the
36
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.360
ground but something to give you a little bit of feedback and then practicing
37
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:21.560
your
38
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.960
grip. The other ones you can work on would be feeling your weight distribution
39
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.360
or feeling your pressure distribution so if I'm going to hit an iron getting
40
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.520
used to being a little bit more on my left foot if I'm gonna hit a driver
41
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.960
getting a little bit more used on the right foot. So some simple things you can
42
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.360
do at home to work on setup like I said setup is the easiest one to practice at
43
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.500
home so there's really no excuses for not having a tour level setup.
