00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.240
This drill is tic-tac-toe and it's to help you work on your sequencing while

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:09.780
you're practicing impact. So it kind of breaks down the movement of how we're

3
00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:14.760
going to get from the top of the swing or from the nine position to impact and

4
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:19.120
into the follow through or the three position. So I've got a golf ball and

5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.240
an alignment stick. Basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a

6
00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:25.560
reference line on the ground that's going to help me organize myself

7
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:31.200
visually. I want it to be at about a 30 degree angle roughly in line with my or

8
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:36.080
from a point in line with my left foot. So in order to do that I'm going to put

9
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:36.120
a

10
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:40.520
golf club on the ground. This gives me perpendicular to my target line which is

11
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:45.240
now 90 degrees. Then I'm going to take a stick and I'm going to put it at about

12
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:45.240
a

13
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:50.960
30 degree angle. So something kind of off like that even with about my left

14
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:51.520
foot.

15
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:58.000
now tic-tac-toe is essentially this alignment alignment stick is where I'm

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.800
trying to get to when I get to impact. So it impacts visually for me. It feels

17
00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:07.960
like my lower body is pointed out there. My sternum or my chest is pointed out

18
00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:12.040
there and even though my shoulders are still relatively square to the target

19
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:18.400
line my hands are pointed out there. So tic-tac-toe is a fun little 9-3 drill

20
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.800
where you can basically work on getting lower body pointed upper body pointed

21
00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:31.120
arms pointed. It helps you exaggerate this sequencing of lower body core arms

22
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.640
lower body core arms. So I'll demonstrate a couple facing the net and you can

23
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:35.760
see

24
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:45.640
a couple different ways that we can use it. So let me get these. So now I'm

25
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:46.000
going

26
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.080
to visualize or actually we'll make it easier for you guys. So we'll put this

27
00:01:51.080 --> 00:01:56.200
back down at about that 30 degree angle. So my goal is from the top of the

28
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:56.440
swing

29
00:01:56.440 --> 00:02:02.000
I'm gonna get lower body pointed at that line then bottom of sternum or chest

30
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:09.080
pointed at that line. So lower body chest and then hands and arms. So it'll

31
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:09.360
look

32
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.400
something like this. You can do it a couple different ways. You can either do

33
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.560
it in a no-stop just continuous motion version which would be kind of a 9 to

34
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:29.600
3 like so or you can do it in a stop motion. So basically you're gonna take

35
00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:36.440
that same setup you're gonna go to 9 to 3 you're gonna do tic-tac-toe. And any

36
00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:40.400
time you're doing the stop motions it's gonna be a little bit harder to hit it

37
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.240
solidly. But if you're in good position generally you'll be able to get pretty

38
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:53.160
close. So we'll do one of those. So we're gonna go 9 position, tic-tac-toe.

39
00:02:53.160 --> 00:02:53.640
That's a

40
00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:57.600
little better. Now it's very common when you're doing this drill and one of the

41
00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:02.070
things I want you to watch for is for the ball to go off to the right. If you

42
00:03:02.070 --> 00:03:02.160
're

43
00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:07.360
used to having impact be straight in front of you like so and you start getting

44
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.860
more open. I don't know if you can see that but that automatically gets the

45
00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:12.040
club

46
00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:17.800
pointing a little bit off to the right. So this helps you focus on how you have

47
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.560
to have that motorcycle already done by the time you get to this 9 position. If

48
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.760
this is your first time going through the impact section the motorcycle will

49
00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:31.120
come in the transition and be emphasized in the release. So it's going to be

50
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.040
let's

51
00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:37.800
do that motorcycle now. Tic-tac-toe and you'll notice that'll go a little bit

52
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.500
straighter and tend to be a little bit more crisp with contact. So this is a

53
00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:42.840
great

54
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.600
drill for at-home working on the sequencing or on the range working on

55
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:53.000
the sequencing. Once you have a pretty good feeling of this lower body core

56
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:58.600
arm sequencing you can take little bigger swings and work your way up to

57
00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:05.040
where you're taking them full.
