00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.120
This drill video is the one inch lean. Now this is kind of the counterpart to
2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:05.240
the
3
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:08.800
three inch lean that we have in the finesse wedge swing. For the distance wedge
4
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.800
it's just a subtle little shift towards the target. Helps keep you centered,
5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:13.000
helps
6
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.080
keep your shoulders level and helps encourage the little bit more of the
7
00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:21.200
casting arm movement or kind of your full extended arm movement through the
8
00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:26.240
release as opposed to having that pronounced lag that we create in the
9
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:31.160
stock full swing. So it's a very simple drill. You're gonna take two alignment
10
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.600
rods. I recommend different colors so I've got, I'm gonna set up with the
11
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.080
orange
12
00:00:35.080 --> 00:00:38.480
stick in front of my shirt buttons or in front of my nose and then during the
13
00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:43.840
backswing I'm going to move in front of the yellow one. So the ball position is
14
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.360
gonna be my normal distance wedge just forward of center, ball position from my
15
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:53.160
upper body just off my ear and then during the backswing we're gonna move
16
00:00:53.160 --> 00:01:04.400
from orange to yellow. So orange to yellow. Orange to yellow and it's, if you
17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:04.520
get
18
00:01:04.520 --> 00:01:08.880
distracted visually like if you have store stress visually then this is a
19
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:14.320
tough drill to have this close to the golf ball. So you can use this as what I
20
00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:17.960
call training station which would basically be you're gonna set up to it
21
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:23.640
and you're gonna get the feeling of it like so and then you're gonna step back
22
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:30.480
so that it's out of the feel of you and then try to recreate it.
