00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.380
This drill is called swinging in a swimming pool and this is to help you
2
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:08.650
overcome the cast or upper body or over the top swing pattern. So if you
3
00:00:08.650 --> 00:00:08.920
remember
4
00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:13.920
from the overview video a cast or upper body dominant swing is from the top of
5
00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:18.240
the swing I'm going to immediately extend that right arm in that right wrist
6
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:23.760
before I get my body going. Now if you imagine that I was standing in a
7
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:24.240
swimming
8
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.200
pool with water up to about my knees, if I did this cast pattern you can see
9
00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:30.360
that
10
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:34.600
the club head would be the first thing to make contact with the water. So what
11
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.320
we're going to do is you're going to practice trying to get the butt of the
12
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:43.120
club to make contact with the water before the club head. In order to do that
13
00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:47.200
you're going to work on your good transition sequence of shifting into
14
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.560
your left heel and letting that right elbow come in towards your side while
15
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.040
the right wrist kind of flat or cups a little bit in the left wrist bows. All
16
00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:01.040
of that will allow you to get your hands lower than the club head for a very
17
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:06.840
long period of time retain that leg and come from the inside. So it's a good
18
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:12.880
little visual works really well if you're a visual learner for imagining the
19
00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:15.960
path that the hands in the club will need to follow if you're going to overcome
20
00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:19.800
that cast or upper body swing pattern.
