00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.880
This drill is shoulder plane with the arms.
2
00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:07.380
So you've been working on your shoulder plane by basically taking the club,
3
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:07.960
placing it across
4
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.120
your shoulders and then making a pivot so that the lead shoulder is pointing
5
00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:11.680
somewhere
6
00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:13.360
in the general direction of the target.
7
00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:16.640
Well, you can easily add the arm component to it.
8
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.520
So whether you're working on the turn and grab or you're working on kind of
9
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:21.040
blending
10
00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:25.880
it all the way until the top of the swing, you can make this shoulder plane
11
00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:26.600
movement even
12
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:31.670
with your arms crossed and then basically position your arms out as far away
13
00:00:31.670 --> 00:00:32.360
from you
14
00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:37.640
as you can while still creating some height.
15
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.510
So if we face the golf ball so you can see the down the line, we're going to
16
00:00:41.510 --> 00:00:42.040
make that
17
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:45.540
backswing shoulder plane and then we're going to extend the arms and put them
18
00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:46.400
into position.
19
00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:52.370
Now if I do this the right way, we can actually take our grip in this position
20
00:00:52.370 --> 00:00:53.200
and kind of
21
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.640
feel the weight of the club and this will give me a sense of more or less where
22
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:57.940
I'm
23
00:00:57.940 --> 00:01:02.160
trying to get my arms to go when my body makes this good pivot and so what I
24
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:02.800
can do from
25
00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:09.900
there is then go back to my setup position and try and recreate that same
26
00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:11.200
feeling and
27
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.760
that same kind of top of backswing position in one movement just like that.
28
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.720
So if you're struggling with the backswing either having too much of a reverse
29
00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:22.400
spine,
30
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.850
working on a sway or flat shoulder plane or the arms kind of lifting as opposed
31
00:01:27.850 --> 00:01:28.680
to externally
32
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:33.910
rotating in the setting, you can use this as kind of a bridge drill for working
33
00:01:33.910 --> 00:01:34.320
on that
34
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:36.320
shoulder plane with what the arms are doing.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.880
This drill is shoulder plane with the arms.
2
00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:07.380

8
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.520

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:21.040
blending
10
00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:25.880
it all the way until the top of the swing, you can make this shoulder plane
11
00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:26.600
movement even
12
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:31.670
with your arms crossed and then basically position your arms out as far away
13
00:00:31.670 --> 00:00:32.360
from you
14
00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:37.640
