00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080
This drill is working on your start line. So I have a couple drills on start

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:06.260
line

3
00:00:06.260 --> 00:00:10.680
training because many good golfers describe when they're playing really

4
00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:14.680
well they can control their start line. The curve might not be perfect but they

5
00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:18.000
can really control where the ball starts. So what I have here is I have a

6
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.280
ribbon

7
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.480
out in my general direction of the target. So you can see that from the down

8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:28.730
the line. You can use I recommend using the rope the same rope that you

9
00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:29.000
practice

10
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.600
your rope swings with works really well. It gives you a good long enough

11
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.000
pattern.

12
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.160
You want this to be at least 10 feet or so if you're really working on start

13
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.640
line visualization training. So what you'll do is you'll get into your setup

14
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.520
position and then you're going to practice tracking your eyes towards the

15
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:47.900
target

16
00:00:47.900 --> 00:00:52.920
here. Now for some of you this may feel like it's way out to the right or way

17
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.680
inside out and that can have to be with how you tend to turn your head in order

18
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:05.600
to look at the finished position but get used to calibrating where it is in

19
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:09.840
space. What I would do is I would take a look from behind the ball just like

20
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:09.960
this

21
00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:15.000
just to confirm everything is all lined up and then start with your feet

22
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.280
together. Left foot right foot now we're in good alignment and we're gonna have

23
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:24.690
more start awareness. Now if you tend to take swings and they're mostly

24
00:01:24.690 --> 00:01:25.160
starting

25
00:01:25.160 --> 00:01:31.080
to the left of this then working a little bit on the Jackson 5 or usually that

26
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:35.040
unhinged movement are the two magic things that help get the path a little

27
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:40.240
bit more into out or get the club face open enough so that it starts more to

28
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:43.880
the right. If you tend to always start it out to the right and you have a hard

29
00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:48.440
time starting it left then working more on staying in your posture and getting

30
00:01:48.440 --> 00:01:52.960
into a finished position where your shoulders are more angled down at the

31
00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:56.880
target instead of up here. So basically working on your early extension pattern

32
00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.520
is usually what will get more of the leftward start line. So all what you're

33
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:07.000
gonna do is you're gonna intuitively feel and make some small little

34
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.010
adjustments so that you can get the ball to start where you want to. So first I

35
00:02:11.010 --> 00:02:11.120
'm

36
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.640
gonna try and hit a draw where I'm gonna start it just a little right of this

37
00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.280
line. Now I may feel a little uncomfortable and even anxious if I'm not

38
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:25.840
used to where this is pointing. If I'm used to aiming way left or aiming way

39
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.120
right and this just doesn't look good it's gonna take probably you know 20 30

40
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.660
maybe even 100 balls before it starts to feel comfortable. It may take a couple

41
00:02:34.660 --> 00:02:38.740
days before it feels comfortable. Work through it it's useful to be able to

42
00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:48.640
accurately see what's a straight line and what's not. So a little draw. So that

43
00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:53.560
was drawing until the wind hit it the fade will and then I got that to start

44
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.120
right. What it's taking it didn't have the greatest low point control but my

45
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.680
shoulders a little off today so I'm not too worried about that. Now we're gonna

46
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.480
try and hit a little bit of a cut so I'm gonna get this to start a little bit

47
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:11.000
left and I'm gonna try to do this more intuitively of just okay I want this to

48
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:19.150
start left and then it's gonna curve back to where that target is. So there I

49
00:03:19.150 --> 00:03:19.480
got

50
00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:23.720
it to start left was able to take a pretty good divot good low point got it

51
00:03:23.720 --> 00:03:28.480
to curve actually a little too much past my target but met the objectives of

52
00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:34.000
really controlling the start line. Now I'm gonna try and get one to go right

53
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.120
down the target line or right over my start line. So to do that I'm actually

54
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:46.360
gonna go through kind of my full alignment process like so that's pretty good

55
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:47.320
and

56
00:03:47.320 --> 00:03:55.680
then give it a go. So to me that started just a hair right of the target but

57
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.720
overall I would count that as a very successful rep for controlling my start

58
00:03:59.720 --> 00:04:05.360
line. I'm getting pretty calibrated as to where my body is based on how this

59
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.080
This looks to my brain today.
