00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.140
This is the anti sway wedge drill and this is to help you feel how the foot
2
00:00:05.140 --> 00:00:10.160
should contact the ground in order to overcome the sway. If you remember from
3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:16.080
the overview video a sway is when your pelvis kind of shifts too much into the
4
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:19.880
trail leg in the backswing and your weight goes more towards the outside of
5
00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:25.680
your foot. Now I've got a foam noodle cut in half here but you can use a door
6
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:30.240
stop you can use a golf ball anything that creates about a one one and a half
7
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:37.240
inch little lift. Now oftentimes you'll see videos of products supporting
8
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.760
creating this little angle which forces your knee to kick in and yes when I
9
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:47.160
make a backswing with that there I'm not gonna sway. The problem is what you're
10
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:53.680
learning from this is how to push with the outside of your foot because my foot
11
00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:58.140
will want to roll and the angle that my ankle is in will prevent that so I will
12
00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:01.720
actually push up against the edge of the foam noodle with the outside of the
13
00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:06.140
foot. If you want to learn how to press with the inside of the foot which is
14
00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:11.240
what we really want with the back leg you're gonna put the wedge on the inside
15
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:16.400
of your foot pointing outward. Okay now what will happen is if I go towards the
16
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.560
outside of my foot well my weight's almost already on the outside of my foot
17
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:27.160
so it won't feel very comfortable. What I will it will also allow for a amount
18
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:27.400
of
19
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.320
room for me to kind of compress by turning that ankle in and learning to
20
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:37.480
push with the inside of my foot up against the ground because when I take
21
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.240
the the foam noodle away I want to maintain that feeling of kind of pressing
22
00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:46.280
with the inside of the foot as opposed to letting the weight go to the outside
23
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.880
of the foot. So you can take swings I I don't recommend hitting balls with this
24
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:57.080
because it's definitely gonna mess up that the downswing mechanics of how the
25
00:01:57.080 --> 00:02:02.360
foot will roll but you can practice making your backswing keeping pressure
26
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:07.560
or compressing that foam noodle and it'll help you really learn where the foot
27
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.760
pushes into the ground and how to stay on the inside of that foot and it'll
28
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:11.920
help
29
00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:16.120
you overcome your sway drill or it'll help you help you overcome your sway
30
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.840
swing problem which will mess up your timing of your transition and typically
31
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.900
cause contact issues.

with the inside of the foot as opposed to letting the weight go to the outside
23
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.880
of the foot. So you can take swings I I don't recommend hitting balls with this
24
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:57.080
because it's definitely gonna mess up that the downswing mechanics of how the
25
00:01:57.080 --> 00:02:02.360
foot will roll but you can practice making your backswing keeping pressure
26
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:07.560

help
29
00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:16.120
you overcome your sway drill or it'll help you help you overcome your sway
30
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.840
swing problem which will mess up your timing of your transition and typically
31
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.900
cause contact issues.
