00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
This finesse wedge drill is underhand toss tempo. So this is a great drill for
2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.240
kind of helping put together some of the feelings of the upper body going
3
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:17.760
forward and the arms kind of falling into your actual practice routine. So what
4
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.440
we're gonna do is we're gonna use an underhand toss to get the tempo of how
5
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:26.360
much my upper body should be moving forward during the backswing. So if I
6
00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:29.780
was to throw an underhand toss here into the net, basically what you'll see is
7
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:34.680
I'm all the way back in my right heel, I'm gonna go forward and my arms gonna
8
00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:40.750
kind of swing from my shoulder. So I'll do it again. And what I feel is my
9
00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:41.080
upper
10
00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:46.120
body, I feel it moving forward towards the target, now, now, now, now, and it
11
00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:53.240
stopped right about here. So this gives me a feeling of this tempo of my upper
12
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.640
body kind of going forward. So what I will do now is I'm gonna try and hit a
13
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:57.880
few
14
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.760
wedge shots where my upper body goes forward, forward, forward, forward,
15
00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:09.880
forward, stop. And it should be roughly the same as what I was
16
00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:15.160
feeling here with this underhand toss. So it's a great way for you to kind of
17
00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:19.120
take a step back from some of the mechanics and start working on the
18
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.670
overall tempo which helps you with your sequencing. So I'll try to demonstrate
19
00:01:22.670 --> 00:01:22.740
a
20
00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:29.180
couple hitting them into the net. So it would look kind of something like this
21
00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:33.960
forward, forward, forward, forward, stop. And you'll hear that good kind of
22
00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:39.880
contact even if everything isn't really perfect. And just to demonstrate, here
23
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:39.920
's
24
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.060
what I would not want to see. For my particular, I would go forward, forward
25
00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:50.520
back. I got lucky with that flip but anytime you go back you're gonna get too
26
00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:55.300
shallow and it's gonna affect the path and make your consistency of contact
27
00:01:55.300 --> 00:02:01.000
really, really tricky. So you can use this feeling of the underhand toss and I
28
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:01.540
've
29
00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:05.040
used it with players as part of their pre-shot routines. If they have a hard
30
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:10.980
time feeling the upper body going forward in the backswing, like so, I've used
31
00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:11.220
this
32
00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:15.940
as part of their visualization before they actually do the shot. So they'll go
33
00:02:15.940 --> 00:02:20.940
like that and then they'll set up and they'll try to recreate that same
34
00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:25.340
amount of the upper body going forward. So I hope this helps you with your
35
00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:26.260
tempo
36
00:02:26.260 --> 00:02:30.000
of how you're gonna apply this shot into your or how you're gonna apply this
37
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.960
