00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
This drill is armpit rope swings.

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
So this is kind of in the same light as the beat the drum, but I've realized that with the

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
beat the drum drill, which is a dynamic version of the merry-go-round.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Basically the goal there is to get the speed going from your legs into the core and into

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
the rib cage.

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
It's really helpful for golfers to tend to early-send and kind of stall the body and just

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
kind of throw the arms.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
The problem with it is unless you have something to strike against, which is usually

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
provided by me, something you're not going to feel to clearly.

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:47,000
So we're going to use a rope or I've seen or other instructors use jackets, so I'll

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
use my shirt sleeve here as kind of the backup version.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
But with the rope, basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to try and get my body

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000
speed into the rope or into the handle and I'm not going to have any opportunity to

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
use my shoulders in my arms.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So I'm going to take the rope and I'm going to place it high up in my armpit, kind of

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
like this, and then I'm going to take that arm and place it across my chest.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Now a kind of advanced version is I'm just going to use my body.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
But for the beginner version, let's say I'm going to bring the rope back while holding on

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:32,000
to it and then I'm going to let go and I'm going to try to get the rope to whip through

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
impact as much as I can.

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Now dynamically as I get better at this, I'm going to do a little bit more of this kind

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000
of preset move where I swing the rope back fast with my body to load that right glute

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
and then I swing it down using my hips and my core.

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
So the advanced version would be I'm not allowed to use either hand.

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
I'm going to get it swinging, turn it back, turn it through.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
This is a quite a core workout.

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
If you're used to early extending what you'll see is that rope will swing almost vertically.

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,000
So see if you can get it to swing through more on plane, especially if you are using

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
the hand to get a big enough swing that it will come through on roughly a swing plane.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
That would be a good indication that you're keeping your head on the pillow or you're keeping

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
your spine angle on the way through.

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
So if you don't have a rope, you could use a towel.

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Tows work pretty well.

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Or potentially what you can do is if you pull your arm out of a jacket or out of a sleeve,

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
kind of like this.

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
It's a little windy today, so this is going to be really tough.

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:59,000
My goal is to use my body to propel my sleeve towards the target while staying on plane.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:09,000
So that right there is kind of an exaggerated feel of the dynamic body position going through

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
the merry-go-round movement.

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:19,000
So now I'm going to try and combo that into a 10 to 2 where I'm going to feel like I have

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
that same throwing action from my body.

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
My arms are going to be connected but soft like ropes.

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
So they're just going to transmit the force from my body.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
I did a little bit more with my arms on that one.

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
So I could feel that the core wasn't quite as involved.

00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000
I'm going to get that feel of the beat the drum or the dynamic merry-go-round.

00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
And when you do that, you'll tend to feel this speed through the ball that you may not be

00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:00,000
used to if you're used to more of a kind of the classic upper body dominant stand up.

00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Stalk through the arms.

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Now because I have a reference, that feels like my body is stopped and nothing in my

00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
core was really involved.

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
That was a arm flick with some leg action.

00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
I don't want to end with that.

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000
So let's see if we can do one more good one where we feel like we do the dynamic merry-go-round.

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
So that was pretty good there.

00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
So try that.

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
If you have a little bit more of early-sensions, stalk flip, or you have a hard time getting

00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
the merry-go-round, it's a feel-powerful.
