00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.240
this finesse wedge drill video is shirt buttons to zipper so one of the things
2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.320
that I talk about is the difference of this axis tilt one of the ways that you
3
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.760
can look at it or measure it is if you take your rib cage and you figure out
4
00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:16.160
kind of the center of the upper part of your rib cage it's kind of right about
5
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.240
where your shirt buttons are if you take your pelvis and you figure out where
6
00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:19.240
the
7
00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:23.040
center of that it's about where my belt buckle or my zipper would be well with
8
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:28.800
the full swing with driver you're gonna see anywhere you know five six inches
9
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:29.000
of
10
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.560
difference between if you were to drop a line where your shirt buttons are and
11
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:37.320
drop a line where your zipper is for these finesse wedge and distance wedge
12
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:43.280
shots you're gonna pretty much see them right on top of each other so if you're
13
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.080
someone who struggles with fat and thin contact if you're someone who struggles
14
00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:52.160
with hitting you know laying sod or even hitting double hit chips there's a
15
00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:52.400
very
16
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:56.520
good chance that your shirt buttons are getting well ahead of your or sorry
17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.480
that your zipper is getting well ahead of your shirt buttons so for this drill
18
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:04.560
what you're going to do is after each shot you're gonna basically hang this
19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:09.760
off of your shirt buttons and it should roughly be in line with the middle of
20
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.320
your pelvis now little it'll be a little tricky to see because of you know from
21
00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:19.180
your perspective because the amount the differing amount of rotation but you
22
00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:19.360
can
23
00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:24.520
still work on it so if you were to check right here they're roughly on top of
24
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:29.480
each other if I was to then go under this way you can see my shirt buttons are
25
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.820
clearly behind my belt buckle for the finesse wedge for the distance wedge
26
00:01:33.820 --> 00:01:37.440
you pretty much want your spine to stay vertical and then your body is gonna
27
00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:42.560
rotate around it so it ends up looking something like this
28
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:50.200
so shirt buttons from my perspective that looks pretty good this shirt buttons
29
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.880
on top of zipper
