00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
In this drill circuit video, we're going to work on takeaway.
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
So four exercises that we're going to do are for drills that we're going to do
3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.200
to kind
4
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:12.560
of give our brain different levels of information about the takeaway.
5
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.760
We're going to do the windmill, we're going to do the turning grab, we're going
6
00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:15.880
to do
7
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.380
the club in the bottom of the sternum, and then we're going to do the right
8
00:00:18.380 --> 00:00:18.840
shoulder
9
00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:20.080
pull.
10
00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:23.920
So first what we're going to do is windmill is without a club.
11
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:29.920
So I'm going to have an object ball just for visual consistency.
12
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.440
I'm going to get in my good setup position.
13
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:36.570
Arms are going to go out to the sides and I'm going to practice making some
14
00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:37.200
turns back
15
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.250
and forth, feeling my body turn so that these arms are extensions of my
16
00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:44.520
shoulders, and they
17
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.480
would roughly be pointed somewhere out in the golf ball, within a few feet of
18
00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:49.920
it.
19
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.200
Now I can practice just doing the backswing, kind of like so.
20
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.760
So this one helps cure if I was to be standing up.
21
00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.850
But now we're going to bring the arms into play and I've got my yoga block
22
00:01:00.850 --> 00:01:01.360
which I'm
23
00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:04.600
going to use as my medicine ball if I was doing the turning grab.
24
00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:08.280
So I've got the yoga block about a hands or an arms full reach away.
25
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.240
I'm going to get in my good setup posture and then I'm going to feel like I do
26
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:13.160
the windmill
27
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:16.640
and my hands would touch the yoga block, I can pick it up and grab it.
28
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.600
Now that yoga block is roughly over my feet or the target line over my feet so
29
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:22.120
it's not
30
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.570
behind me way out in front, it's kind of right in the slot where I would want
31
00:01:26.570 --> 00:01:26.960
it.
32
00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:30.880
So now I'm going to do the windmill movement, boom I can touch like so.
33
00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:33.440
Windmill movement, touch like so.
34
00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:38.430
So four or five up to ten repetitions, now we're going to do the club and the
35
00:01:38.430 --> 00:01:39.200
sternum,
36
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.890
this just feels like that one piece takeaway, just like I could grab that yoga
37
00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:44.520
block.
38
00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:47.360
That goes there.
39
00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:48.360
One more.
40
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:50.870
So now I'm getting this feeling in my core of what this one piece takeaway is
41
00:01:50.870 --> 00:01:51.200
going to
42
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.200
be like.
43
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.930
So now I'm going to set up to the ball and I'm going to try to recreate that
44
00:01:55.930 --> 00:01:56.440
feeling
45
00:01:56.440 --> 00:02:02.670
of this right side kind of turning out of the way as the left side rotates
46
00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:03.520
towards.
47
00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:10.010
So this is the right shoulder pull like so because the pull will help create
48
00:02:10.010 --> 00:02:11.200
this opening
49
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.010
in this space in this side as opposed to if you're focusing more on that left
50
00:02:16.010 --> 00:02:17.240
arm push,
51
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.280
I tend to find that most players tend to stay in this flexion or stay bent over
52
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:22.560
.
53
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.240
They'll stay bent over like so as they go into this takeaway.
54
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:31.400
As opposed to if I recreate what we were just doing there, you can see this
55
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:32.200
right side start
56
00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:36.540
to get out of the way which is the proper turning for that takeaway.
57
00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:40.660
So there's a quick little drill circuit video, you could then hit balls feeling
58
00:02:40.660 --> 00:02:41.320
like you go
59
00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:45.920
from that takeaway through the rest of the swing or you could just stop and do
60
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:46.440
nine to
61
00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:50.460
three to kind of work and it really ingrained that proper takeaway, that proper
62
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:50.960
one piece
63
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.680
takeaway will help load the sequencing for the transition and the downswing.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
In this drill circuit video, we're going to work on takeaway.
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
So four exercises that we're going to do are for drills that we're going to do
3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.200
to kind
4
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:12.560

So now I'm going to set up to the ball and I'm going to try to recreate that
44
00:01:55.930 --> 00:01:56.440
feeling
45
00:01:56.440 --> 00:02:02.670
of this right side kind of turning out of the way as the left side rotates
46
00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:03.520
towards.
47
00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:10.010
So this is the right shoulder pull like so because the pull will help create
48
00:02:10.010 --> 00:02:11.200
this opening
49
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.010
in this space in this side as opposed to if you're focusing more on that left
50
00:02:16.010 --> 00:02:17.240
arm push,
51
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.280
I tend to find that most players tend to stay in this flexion or stay bent over
52
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:22.560
.
53
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.240
They'll stay bent over like so as they go into this takeaway.
54
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:31.400
As opposed to if I recreate what we were just doing there, you can see this
55
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:32.200
right side start
56
00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:36.540
to get out of the way which is the proper turning for that takeaway.
57
00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:40.660
So there's a quick little drill circuit video, you could then hit balls feeling
58
00:02:40.660 --> 00:02:41.320
like you go
59
00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:45.920
from that takeaway through the rest of the swing or you could just stop and do
60
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:46.440
nine to
61
00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:50.460
three to kind of work and it really ingrained that proper takeaway, that proper
62
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:50.960
one piece
63
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.680
takeaway will help load the sequencing for the transition and the downswing.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
In this drill circuit video, we're going to work on takeaway.
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
So four exercises that we're going to do are for drills that we're going to do
3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.200
to kind
4
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:12.560
of give our brain different levels of information about the takeaway.
5
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.760
We're going to do the windmill, we're going to do the turning grab, we're going
6
00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:15.880
to do
7
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.380
the club in the bottom of the sternum, and then we're going to do the right
8
00:00:18.380 --> 00:00:18.840
shoulder
9
00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:20.080
pull.
10
00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:23.920
So first what we're going to do is windmill is without a club.
11
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:29.920
So I'm going to have an object ball just for visual consistency.
12
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.440
I'm going to get in my good setup position.
13
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:36.570
Arms are going to go out to the sides and I'm going to practice making some
14
00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:37.200
turns back
15
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.250
and forth, feeling my body turn so that these arms are extensions of my
16
00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:44.520
shoulders, and they
17
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.480
would roughly be pointed somewhere out in the golf ball, within a few feet of
18
00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:49.920
it.
19
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.200
Now I can practice just doing the backswing, kind of like so.
20
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.760
So this one helps cure if I was to be standing up.
21
00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.850
But now we're going to bring the arms into play and I've got my yoga block
22
00:01:00.850 --> 00:01:01.360
which I'm
23
00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:04.600
going to use as my medicine ball if I was doing the turning grab.
24
00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:08.280
So I've got the yoga block about a hands or an arms full reach away.
25
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.240
I'm going to get in my good setup posture and then I'm going to feel like I do
26
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:13.160
the windmill
27
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:16.640
and my hands would touch the yoga block, I can pick it up and grab it.
28
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.600
Now that yoga block is roughly over my feet or the target line over my feet so
29
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:22.120
it's not
30
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.570
behind me way out in front, it's kind of right in the slot where I would want
31
00:01:26.570 --> 00:01:26.960
it.
32
00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:30.880
So now I'm going to do the windmill movement, boom I can touch like so.
33
00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:33.440
Windmill movement, touch like so.
34
00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:38.430
So four or five up to ten repetitions, now we're going to do the club and the
35
00:01:38.430 --> 00:01:39.200
sternum,
36
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.890
this just feels like that one piece takeaway, just like I could grab that yoga
37
00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:44.520
block.
38
00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:47.360
That goes there.
39
00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:48.360
One more.
40
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:50.870
So now I'm getting this feeling in my core of what this one piece takeaway is
41
00:01:50.870 --> 00:01:51.200
going to
42
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.200
be like.
43
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.930
So now I'm going to set up to the ball and I'm going to try to recreate that
44
00:01:55.930 --> 00:01:56.440
feeling
45
00:01:56.440 --> 00:02:02.670
of this right side kind of turning out of the way as the left side rotates
46
00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:03.520
towards.
47
00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:10.010
So this is the right shoulder pull like so because the pull will help create
48
00:02:10.010 --> 00:02:11.200
this opening
49
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.010
in this space in this side as opposed to if you're focusing more on that left
50
00:02:16.010 --> 00:02:17.240
arm push,
51
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.280
I tend to find that most players tend to stay in this flexion or stay bent over
52
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:22.560
.
53
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.240
They'll stay bent over like so as they go into this takeaway.
54
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:31.400
As opposed to if I recreate what we were just doing there, you can see this
55
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:32.200

to get out of the way which is the proper turning for that takeaway.
57

00:02:40.660 --> 00:02:41.320

59
00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:45.920
from that takeaway through the rest of the swing or you could just stop and do
60
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:46.440
nine to
61
00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:50.460
three to kind of work and it really ingrained that proper takeaway, that proper
62
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:50.960
one piece
63
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.680
takeaway will help load the sequencing for the transition and the downswing.
