00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
The drill is the 360 jump.

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,000
The 360 jump is a way to feel a combination of vertical movement of the hips as well as

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
rotation.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
I encourage you to try this one at home, but if you have any knee, ankle, lower back issues,

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
then don't do it only under the supervision of a trainer.

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
First we're going to start with just a really simple.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Then I jump.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Do I feel like my knees and my ankles are able to hold up for a simple jump.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Then we're going to do a 180.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So for a lot of my golfers, especially my older golfers, this is as far as we go, but we're

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
going to do a little wind up and then we're going to jump.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
So my back would face the camera.

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
So we'll do that again.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Turn jump.

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Now if you're pretty athletic, if you're one of my high school college kids out there, I

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
want you to do more of a 360 jump.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
So all the way around didn't stick the landing.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
We'll do one more.

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Good.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,000
So now you'll feel as you do this 360 jump, there's a load downward, but then as I go to

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
take off, there's this combination of vertical movement and rotation.

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Now the key is when we take this into the golf plane, we're not going to be spinning around

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
a vertical axis like that.

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
We're not going to jump in spin like this.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
We're going to be spinning on this golf plane or about a 45 degree axis.

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
So when I feel that jump, it's going to feel like I'm lengthening towards this camera

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
up here like this, not like I'm just spinning vertically.

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So now when I pick up the club, we're going to do a few kind of connected drills where I'm

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
not going to use my charms and I'm just going to try and feel this 360 jump, but

00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
while my right shoulder stays down and I stay in my posture.

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Because the right shoulder is going to stay down and I'm going to stay in my posture,

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000
I'm not actually going to get up off the ground, but I will do one where I try to exaggerate

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
it, where I will actually try to get off the ground.

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
So I'm going to bring it back and I'm going to feel like I jump and twist.

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Simultaneously, while this shoulder is going through.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:32,000
So this gives me a feel of after from the top of the swing, once I get to about a delivery

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
position or about arm parallel, kind of like this, this is now the dominant movement from the

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
lower body and the core.

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000
So from right about here, now I'm going to do that vertical as well as twisting type movement.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
And then keep my shoulder up on that one, or sorry, I didn't keep my shoulder down on that one,

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
so I caught that a little thin, but it was the overall concept.

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
So let's do one as a stop drill where you're going to bring it back, preset it, and then from here,

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,000
I'm just going to feel a little bit more of this kind of single leg 360 jump to bring my arms

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000
through to follow through.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
So preset it, we're going to bring it back.

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Freeze 360 jump while the shoulder stays down, that gets this blend of the vertical and rotation

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
forces.

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Now the key is that the timing of the jump happens always at arm parallel or around this zone.

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
So if I do swings where I stop there, I can do the jump right away.

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
But as I make a bigger swing, now there's going to have to be this little waiting where I'm

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
getting a little bit more momentum before that jump.

00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
So that's option one is we're going to lengthen it.

00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
The other thing that I try to stress is that this jump doesn't have to be the most explosive

00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
jump that you've ever done.

00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
It's just have to be more of the dominant motion.

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:13,000
What I mean by that is if you recall from the Sacho to step, the vertical movement is roughly

00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
one and a half maybe two times your body weight.

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
So it's more like a jog type push.

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
So it's kind of a jump like this.

00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
It's not like a sprint or a massive explosion.

00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
If I push too hard at this point, then it can disrupt how my core works and it can disrupt

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
some of my release and arm timing.

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000
So I'm going to do one, one more of these little stop drills and I'm going to try to do the

00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
slow jump.

00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000
So I'm going to bring it back and now I'm going to feel again, I'm not going to do very

00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:53,000
much with the arms but I felt like it was a really kind of slow, gradual jump as opposed

00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
to an explosive one.

00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Now we'll take it up to the full swing.

00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000
So now as we go up towards the top of the swing, there's this little kind of collecting

00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
before the jump.

00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
So little bit of a weighting.

00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
The jump does not happen as soon as I start now.

00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:18,000
So here we go, have a little bit of weight kind of like so.

00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
So there we've got this feeling of just this little bit of weighting before the jump

00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
happen.

00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
It doesn't happen immediately as I start down.

00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,000
If you're used to kind of pulling with the arms, the weight is going to feel like it

00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
takes forever.

00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,000
But if you're used to not using your legs, it may feel like it's going to happen early.

00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
So the key is not so much what it feels like, the key is what it looks like on video.

00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Just make sure that the activity and the pushing of the legs is happening roughly when

00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
the club is in this space.

00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Not when the club is all the way down here, which would happen if you were more arm dominant

00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
or not straight away, which would happen if you were a little too aggressive.

00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
This is one of my favorite kind of combo drills.

00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
It takes a good level of feel, but when you get it, it gives you a really solid sense

00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
of the lower body action during the release.

00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000
This can help with solidness of contact, as well as creating power in a more balanced

00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
or even way.

00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,000
So one more demo.

00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Let's add a little speed.

00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
This one's fun for me.

00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speed gives height, maybe a tiny bit early with the release, but overall pretty solid

00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
eight earned.
