00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720
This drill is shaft lean visual. So I've got a little station here designed

2
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:05.200
especially

3
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.280
for you visual learners. I've got two different alignment sticks. One is just

4
00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:10.080
going to represent

5
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.380
about where the ball is and then the second one is going to represent my shaft

6
00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:16.120
lean. So

7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:21.510
essentially what I did, here's my seven iron and all I did was I pretty much

8
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:22.440
matched what

9
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:28.270
that shaft would look like if I sold the club. Now I put the entry point of

10
00:00:28.270 --> 00:00:29.560
that about an

11
00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:38.020
inch in front of my ball position because it's not that I want to have the ball

12
00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:38.980
position

13
00:00:38.980 --> 00:00:43.060
back where I actually hit this where it kind of matches up with the ball. It's

14
00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:43.760
just after

15
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:48.460
impact or just after the ball has gone. That's going to force me to try and get

16
00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:49.040
a little

17
00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:53.600
bit more shaft lean and impact. So here you can see I'm exaggerating it a

18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:54.560
little bit but

19
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.250
for most of you this is going to look like it's well forward of the golf wall

20
00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:00.560
from here

21
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.630
and you'll see from when you, I suggest either using a mirror or look at it on

22
00:01:05.630 --> 00:01:06.260
video, you'll

23
00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:11.670
see that it looks just barely past vertical. So it's helping get over that

24
00:01:11.670 --> 00:01:12.680
optical illusion

25
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.830
of having your hands ahead and seeing about how much shaft lean you're trying

26
00:01:17.830 --> 00:01:18.800
to get.

27
00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:23.670
So that will help you with either your impact fix or the door jam. So that will

28
00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:24.040
help you

29
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.590
with pre-setting your body in that good merry-go-round position and getting

30
00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:30.960
used to where you want

31
00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:34.850
your hands to get to compared to the golf ball. For many of you, you're used to

32
00:01:34.850 --> 00:01:34.920
having

33
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.810
your hands pretty much pointing at the golf ball like this and you can see that

34
00:01:38.810 --> 00:01:39.080
there's

35
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:44.530
a big difference in the amount of shaft lean from your perspective but from

36
00:01:44.530 --> 00:01:45.740
here from face

37
00:01:45.740 --> 00:01:52.540
on or sorry from first person, it's really only about 3 inches of grip movement

38
00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:53.300
, maybe

39
00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:58.600
10-15 degrees of shaft lean. So it might not look as dramatic here as it's

40
00:01:58.600 --> 00:01:59.380
going to look

41
00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:03.930
there. You want to kind of calibrate where you want to get the club. So we can

42
00:02:03.930 --> 00:02:04.260
use this

43
00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:11.490
in either 9-3 or full swing style drills and I'll keep that the shaft or the

44
00:02:11.490 --> 00:02:12.940
ball position

45
00:02:12.940 --> 00:02:18.010
there and I can just continue to use this visual or this reference and I can

46
00:02:18.010 --> 00:02:19.900
just work in towards

47
00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:23.330
me or away from the station keeping that visual there that way I don't have to

48
00:02:23.330 --> 00:02:24.100
set it up every

49
00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:27.580
single ball. The other option is you can hit balls off tees since you're not

50
00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:28.380
really working

51
00:02:28.380 --> 00:02:33.830
on low point control. You're more working on a club path and a little bit of

52
00:02:33.830 --> 00:02:35.180
face rotation

53
00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:39.070
because if you get this shaft lean and you don't have any face rotation, the

54
00:02:39.070 --> 00:02:39.420
ball is

55
00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:43.900
going to go well off to the right. It's one of the reasons why many golfers

56
00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:45.140
fail to get

57
00:02:45.140 --> 00:02:49.310
shaft lean and impact. So we'll do a couple 9-3's we're kind of walking through

58
00:02:49.310 --> 00:02:49.660
. So I'm

59
00:02:49.660 --> 00:02:55.550
going to preset impact. Good. So that pretty much matches up hopefully from

60
00:02:55.550 --> 00:02:55.940
your point

61
00:02:55.940 --> 00:03:00.570
of view. Looks like it does from here and then I'm going to take it back, try

62
00:03:00.570 --> 00:03:01.060
to get

63
00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:04.960
into that position. If I do a good job I'll probably have solid contact and the

64
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.380
flight

65
00:03:05.380 --> 00:03:13.020
might be a little bit lower. Now I can progress it just a little bit further.

66
00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:13.460
Alright so that's

67
00:03:13.460 --> 00:03:18.840
about where I'm trying to get to and impact. Now we can take it back a little

68
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:19.580
bit more

69
00:03:19.580 --> 00:03:25.620
like 3/4 trying to match that up again and then ultimately we can take that to

70
00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:26.920
full swings.

71
00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:32.410
Now at this point when I start moving the swing faster I can't really see but I

72
00:03:32.410 --> 00:03:32.980
can kind

73
00:03:32.980 --> 00:03:39.080
of connect my feel and my 3D awareness of it and I can compare where it was at

74
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:39.700
setup

75
00:03:39.700 --> 00:03:44.130
and where it was compared to the shaft at impact and that'll help me build my

76
00:03:44.130 --> 00:03:44.460
database

77
00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:50.100
in my mind of where I want to get my hands at impact. So now we go up towards

78
00:03:50.100 --> 00:03:51.020
full swing

79
00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:56.250
so this will look a little bit different because I'm much further away. At

80
00:03:56.250 --> 00:03:56.900
least for

81
00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:57.860
the camera's perspective.

82
00:04:02.980 --> 00:04:10.330
So my key is I've got about the same contact and I've got about the same launch

83
00:04:10.330 --> 00:04:11.140
window

84
00:04:11.140 --> 00:04:16.280
regardless of whether this was a 9-3 or the full swing. It's kind of watching

85
00:04:16.280 --> 00:04:16.820
hot. It's

86
00:04:16.820 --> 00:04:24.260
not launching up and kind of spinning. So if I was to have more of a I'm going

87
00:04:24.260 --> 00:04:24.620
to try

88
00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:33.220
to get there at impact. If I was to have more of a flip style release that

89
00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:34.140
probably launched

90
00:04:34.140 --> 00:04:39.590
a good 50 maybe even 100% higher so you can use that as feedback if you're

91
00:04:39.590 --> 00:04:40.380
doing well

92
00:04:40.380 --> 00:04:44.670
with this little shaft drill to help you with your hand position and getting

93
00:04:44.670 --> 00:04:45.540
over the visual

94
00:04:45.540 --> 00:04:48.980
weirdness of what it looks like to have normal shaft lean at impact.
