1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.220
This drill is using rewind to delivery to help your sequencing.

2
00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:12.320
So oftentimes golfers who struggle, especially with the longer clubs,

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.100
especially with the

4
00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:18.470
driver, they can look like everything's in kind of a good position, but because

5
00:00:18.470 --> 00:00:18.780
of the

6
00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:22.100
sequencing, just by the fact that they're hitting it more with the arms, they

7
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:22.500
tend to

8
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.060
have a lot of club-to-face variability.

9
00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:29.780
So they tend to have two-way misses and just lack of consistency or control.

10
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:34.180
And that can often be a really hard pattern to start getting the lower body to

11
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:34.580
lead a

12
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.620
little bit longer or to be more dominant through the hit.

13
00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:43.900
And I find that sometimes you have to trick yourself into doing it.

14
00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:50.100
So sometimes I'll use the rewind to delivery to help kind of connect this lower

15
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.820
body activation.

16
00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:55.950
So I'm going to use an iron, but this is a great drill to do with the driver as

17
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:56.560
well.

18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.860
So rewind to delivery.

19
00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:01.180
We're going to get into a good setup position.

20
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:03.500
Then we're going to go to where we would want to be at impact.

21
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:09.040
So Mary go around all the hand positions, everything looking pretty good there.

22
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.910
And then from here, we're just going to bring the club back to delivery while

23
00:01:14.910 --> 00:01:15.720
trying to

24
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:18.700
keep our core kind of pointed in that direction.

25
00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:22.230
And most people, when they do this, they'll say, "I feel like I'll ask, how

26
00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:22.740
does that

27
00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:23.740
compare to your normal swing?"

28
00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:27.240
And they'll say, "I feel like my lower body is like way out in front.

29
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:31.080
Normally it would be more here because normally you're trying to hit the ball

30
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:34.100
with the arms.

31
00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:40.310
And then in this delivery position, this kind of rewind drill here, I'm feeling

32
00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:41.180
like my

33
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:43.940
lower body is going to move my arms.

34
00:01:43.940 --> 00:01:46.700
So from here, now we're going to do a pump drill.

35
00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:52.060
But the key to this pump drill is we're trying to exaggerate the lack of arm

36
00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:53.160
movements.

37
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:55.260
We're trying to really hit this with our core.

38
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:59.950
So if you do that, then you're going to have as short a finished position as

39
00:01:59.950 --> 00:02:01.520
humanly possible,

40
00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:05.740
which is basically going to be, you'll see the club stays pointing kind of at

41
00:02:05.740 --> 00:02:06.440
the camera

42
00:02:06.440 --> 00:02:07.440
more like this.

43
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:11.160
Now, I'm not going to be able to hit this very far this way, but I am going to

44
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:11.640
be able

45
00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:14.600
to feel a lot more lower body action.

46
00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:18.960
So I'm going to get into impact position, bring this back, and then I'm going

47
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.520
to pump

48
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.990
just a little bit with my lower body, and then go forward using most of my

49
00:02:23.990 --> 00:02:24.880
lower body.

50
00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:29.580
And you'll see that the club stayed behind the whole time.

51
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:33.180
I just held my arms into that position.

52
00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:37.100
So a little pump kind of like this, I hit that a little further.

53
00:02:37.100 --> 00:02:39.740
I could feel that I had a little bit more release.

54
00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:44.340
Let's try to give you, you know, kind of the extreme version for the camera.

55
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:51.180
So we're going to get into this impact, bring it back, really stopping because

56
00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:51.980
I, and at

57
00:02:51.980 --> 00:02:57.340
this point, my hips and my belly button, I've turned and my hands are still out

58
00:02:57.340 --> 00:02:57.940
in front

59
00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:01.980
of my belly button, even though I haven't released the wrist or the shoulders

60
00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:02.460
at that

61
00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:03.820
point.

62
00:03:03.820 --> 00:03:10.480
So now I have an idea and I can try to, I can try to incorporate some of that

63
00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:11.220
feeling

64
00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:15.560
of my lower body rotating through and then feeling like my arms are just adding

65
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:15.900
to it

66
00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:19.810
instead of replacing it, instead of really feeling like my arms are the

67
00:03:19.810 --> 00:03:20.940
dominant source.

68
00:03:20.940 --> 00:03:26.310
Now the arms are going to be secondary to this feeling of my hips bringing my

69
00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:26.860
arms through

70
00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:29.060
the release.

71
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:34.230
So again, this is specifically designed for golfers who tend to get really

72
00:03:34.230 --> 00:03:34.620
upper body

73
00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:38.590
active early and it usually shows up in trouble with the longer clubs,

74
00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.700
especially the driver.

75
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:50.530
So now we'll feel like we get a little bit of that hip rotation, kind of like

76
00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:51.340
that.

77
00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:56.220
I'm not sure if you can hear, but there's a lot of wind today.

78
00:03:56.220 --> 00:03:59.700
So one more, we'll do the little full sequence.

79
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:05.060
So I'm here, I'm going to bring it back, little hip rotation, got a feeling of

80
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:05.460
what

81
00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:09.220
that kind of feels like to hit it more with the core.

82
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:12.930
Now we could add a little bit more length, we could do the same thing and we

83
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:13.560
could bring

84
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:19.140
it back and then we could pump even further, kind of like that.

85
00:04:19.140 --> 00:04:28.360
And then now we'll do it like a full swing without starting it impact, kind of

86
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.180
like that.

87
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.390
So if you're struggling with getting your hips involved, you can try this

88
00:04:32.390 --> 00:04:33.160
little playing

89
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.150
around with rewind drills, sometimes that is a great way to overcome some of

90
00:04:37.150 --> 00:04:37.940
your natural

91
00:04:37.940 --> 00:04:42.380
tendencies, especially your natural sequence tendencies.

well.

18

point.

62
00:03:03.820 --> 00:03:10.480
So now I have an idea and I can try to, I can try to incorporate some of that

63
00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:11.220
feeling

64
00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:15.560

66
00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:19.810
instead of replacing it, instead of really feeling like my arms are the

67
00:03:19.810 --> 00:03:20.940
dominant source.

68
00:03:20.940 --> 00:03:26.310
Now the arms are going to be secondary to this feeling of my hips bringing my

69
00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:26.860
arms through

70
00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:29.060
the release.

71
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:34.230
So again, this is specifically designed for golfers who tend to get really

72
00:03:34.230 --> 00:03:34.620
upper body

73
00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:38.590
active early and it usually shows up in trouble with the longer clubs,

74
00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.700
especially the driver.

75
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:50.530
So now we'll feel like we get a little bit of that hip rotation, kind of like

76
00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:51.340
that.

77
00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:56.220
I'm not sure if you can hear, but there's a lot of wind today.

78
00:03:56.220 --> 00:03:59.700
So one more, we'll do the little full sequence.

79
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:05.060
So I'm here, I'm going to bring it back, little hip rotation, got a feeling of

80
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:05.460
what

81
00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:09.220
that kind of feels like to hit it more with the core.

82
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:12.930
Now we could add a little bit more length, we could do the same thing and we

83
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:13.560
could bring

84
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:19.140
it back and then we could pump even further, kind of like that.

85
00:04:19.140 --> 00:04:28.360
And then now we'll do it like a full swing without starting it impact, kind of

86
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.180
like that.

87
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.390
So if you're struggling with getting your hips involved, you can try this

88
00:04:32.390 --> 00:04:33.160
little playing

89
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.150
around with rewind drills, sometimes that is a great way to overcome some of

90
00:04:37.150 --> 00:04:37.940
your natural

91
00:04:37.940 --> 00:04:42.380
tendencies, especially your natural sequence tendencies.
