00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.980
This drill is right arm backswing. So in this drill we're just going to

2
00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:05.340
practice

3
00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:09.620
kind of pre-setting where the right arm is going to be at the top but kind of

4
00:00:09.620 --> 00:00:13.620
down and set up and then figure out a way to get it there. Okay so essentially

5
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:17.380
what we're going to do is we're going to take our good setup position and then

6
00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:21.060
you're going to take your right arm and bring it in towards your side kind of

7
00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:25.940
like so and do the little claw where the hand points away from you like so. Now

8
00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:29.780
what we're going to do from here is we're going to make our good pivot so that

9
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:34.700
this arm is kind of still in that reference compared to my body. It can

10
00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:38.900
move a little bit this way but it's not allowed to move a whole lot this way.

11
00:00:38.900 --> 00:00:44.020
Okay so it can kind of windshield wiper a little bit. It can set a little bit

12
00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:50.660
more but we're not allowed to let it go back here. Okay so from here we're

13
00:00:50.660 --> 00:00:50.660
going

14
00:00:50.660 --> 00:00:54.190
to make that backswing pivot and then we're going to take our left arm and we

15
00:00:54.190 --> 00:00:54.260
're

16
00:00:54.260 --> 00:00:58.540
going to bring it so that they kind of meet. So I'll do it facing this way. So

17
00:00:58.540 --> 00:01:02.380
you're going to take your setup position. Right arm is in this good little claw

18
00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:07.380
in towards my side, palm facing away, thumb roughly up or pointed even out that

19
00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:11.060
direction. Then I'm going to make my backswing pivot and then I'm going to

20
00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:15.860
bring my left arm across my body. Now they'll adjust a little bit but bringing

21
00:01:15.860 --> 00:01:19.940
this left arm to that right arm is going to help you feel like you're in a good

22
00:01:19.940 --> 00:01:24.220
position for what we want to do in getting into this delivery position in

23
00:01:24.220 --> 00:01:29.630
the downswing. What most of you or what a lot of you may do is not use this

24
00:01:29.630 --> 00:01:30.060
upper

25
00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:34.100
body to turn and basically just bringing the arm here and now if my hands can't

26
00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:40.700
even reach or when I go this arm will be way back here and again they're not

27
00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:44.500
going to be able to reach unless I rotate my arm this way. Now I said we're

28
00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:44.740
allowed

29
00:01:44.740 --> 00:01:49.860
to wiggle this way in what's called external rotation but I don't want you

30
00:01:49.860 --> 00:01:54.660
doing a whole lot of internal rotation unless you absolutely have to. So this

31
00:01:54.660 --> 00:01:54.740
is

32
00:01:54.740 --> 00:01:59.540
a great way to feel some of this proper backswing position. So if you think

33
00:01:59.540 --> 00:01:59.660
your

34
00:01:59.660 --> 00:02:02.500
backswing is part of the reason you're having trouble with your downswing then

35
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.660
give it a little bit of attention.
