00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840
This drill is sidearm throw under the left arm so this is a old classic drill
2
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:07.040
for getting
3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:13.360
the Jackson 5 and the side tilt or the axis tilt. So many golfers who struggle
4
00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:14.480
with their driver or
5
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:20.260
three wood in this case get too much on top of the ball requiring a big arm-sh
6
00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:21.600
allowing movement
7
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:26.450
late that can create club face control problems, low point problems, spin
8
00:00:26.450 --> 00:00:27.600
problems, a whole host
9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:33.640
of problems for the longer clubs. So what we're going to do here is we'll crawl
10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:34.720
in a couple more
11
00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:40.130
golf balls. You're going to get set up and then you're going to take your left
12
00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:41.280
arm and place it on
13
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.480
top of the golf club like this. So the golf club's straight up and down and in
14
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:46.880
front of the left
15
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:54.010
left foot. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to throw sidearm underneath my
16
00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:57.440
left arm. Now this
17
00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:03.910
is roughly where I would be when the club is out here and what would happen is
18
00:01:03.910 --> 00:01:04.560
if I got
19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.030
in front if I lunged and got my upper body on top of my left hip I'd have to
20
00:01:10.030 --> 00:01:10.880
throw underhand
21
00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:15.390
because if I threw sidearm I would throw it more down towards the ground. So
22
00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:16.480
this gives a feeling
23
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.950
of not getting this tilt from hanging backward but getting this tilt from
24
00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:22.400
getting my lower body
25
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:28.400
forward just like so. So one more time I'm in my setup posture. I'm throwing
26
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.280
underneath or
27
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.130
sidearm kind of like this and then that's pretty much where I want to be in
28
00:01:34.130 --> 00:01:34.800
this follow through
29
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:40.480
position. Oftentimes I'll combo this with a upper body awareness drill. So now
30
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.120
I can kind of create
31
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:48.080
that side bend feel just like I was throwing underneath my shaft. That will
32
00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:49.200
help clean up some
33
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.600
of the ground contact create a little bit longer brushing pattern if it should
34
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.040
help you not sky
35
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.880
the ball. So if you're used to popping it up or hitting it on high on the club
36
00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:01.360
it should help
37
00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:05.640
out with that as well. So it's a really good kind of feel or rhythm type
38
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.800
sequencing drill
39
00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:12.000
for getting the lower body to lead and getting the the body to turn through the
40
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:12.960
shot. So you can see
41
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:18.140
I'm using my hips and my core without lunging. If you tend to be more of a
42
00:02:18.140 --> 00:02:19.440
upper body lunge or
43
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:23.790
too much upper body spin this is a great drill for feeling that disconnect. It
44
00:02:23.790 --> 00:02:24.560
's also good
45
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.160
if you tend to pull too much with that left arm because by having the arm
46
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:31.840
anchored out here it
47
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.760
really helps you feel that shoulder stay a little bit more closed on the way
48
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:37.200
through as opposed to
49
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:42.840
pulling in kind of like this. So it has a really good kind of feel benefit for
50
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.240
a couple different
51
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.520
or a couple of the major problems that sabotage and prevent people from doing
52
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:50.480
well with the driver
53
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:52.560

front of the left
15
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:54.010
left foot. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to throw sidearm underneath my
16
00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:57.440
left arm. Now this
17
00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:03.910
is roughly where I would be when the club is out here and what would happen is
18
00:01:03.910 --> 00:01:04.560
if I got
19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.030
in front if I lunged and got my upper body on top of my left hip I'd have to
20
00:01:10.030 --> 00:01:10.880
throw underhand
21
00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:15.390
because if I threw sidearm I would throw it more down towards the ground. So
22
00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:16.480
this gives a feeling
23
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.950
of not getting this tilt from hanging backward but getting this tilt from
24
00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:22.400
getting my lower body
25
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:28.400
forward just like so. So one more time I'm in my setup posture. I'm throwing
26
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.280
underneath or
27
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.130
sidearm kind of like this and then that's pretty much where I want to be in
28
00:01:34.130 --> 00:01:34.800
this follow through
29
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:40.480
position. Oftentimes I'll combo this with a upper body awareness drill. So now
30
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.120
I can kind of create
31
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:48.080
that side bend feel just like I was throwing underneath my shaft. That will
32
00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:49.200
help clean up some
33
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.600
of the ground contact create a little bit longer brushing pattern if it should
34
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.040
help you not sky
35
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.880
the ball. So if you're used to popping it up or hitting it on high on the club
36
00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:01.360
it should help
37
00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:05.640
out with that as well. So it's a really good kind of feel or rhythm type
38
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.800
sequencing drill
39
00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:12.000
for getting the lower body to lead and getting the the body to turn through the
40
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:12.960
shot. So you can see
41
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:18.140
I'm using my hips and my core without lunging. If you tend to be more of a
42
00:02:18.140 --> 00:02:19.440
upper body lunge or
43
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:23.790
too much upper body spin this is a great drill for feeling that disconnect. It
44
00:02:23.790 --> 00:02:24.560
's also good
45
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.160
if you tend to pull too much with that left arm because by having the arm
46
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:31.840
anchored out here it
47
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.760
really helps you feel that shoulder stay a little bit more closed on the way
48
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:37.200
through as opposed to
49
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:42.840
pulling in kind of like this. So it has a really good kind of feel benefit for
50
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.240
a couple different
51
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.520
or a couple of the major problems that sabotage and prevent people from doing
52
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:50.480
well with the driver
53
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:52.560
three wood even the hybrids.
