00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
The drill is the chair wipe.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
So this is more of a positional training to help with the white movement when you're just

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
doing some practice at home.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
So we're going to use an object that can be a chair, it can be a couch, it can be a countertop,

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
but I like something at lower than belly button height.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
So this is kind of pushing it for me because what you'll see is when I get down into my golf

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
posture, I would like this to be at about the height of my elbow and you can see it's

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
just a touch height.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So if I was doing this at home, I would probably kick something underneath here to lower

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
it by angling it back just slightly like that.

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
But I'll still be able to demonstrate it for you.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
So what we're going to do with the chair wipe is we're going to rest our forearms on the

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
chair or the countertop.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
But I'm not leaning into my toes as you can see from the down the line camera.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
I'm more still in the center of my feet.

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And now from here, I'm going to basically do kind of this feeling of the side arm

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:17,000
throw and what I do is when I turn the lower body, I'm going to feel my right arm work

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
around my body so that both are pointing towards the target.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
This gives me a feeling of my shoulders staying more square.

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
This can be really helpful for golfers to tend to really pull with that left shoulder and

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
kind of throw the arms that way.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
So this gets me feeling like my core is rotated and my arms have followed the core as

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
opposed to following the shoulders.

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000
So we're going to get this feel where when I do this it has a feeling like my shoulders

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
are more closed than my lower body but my arms are out in front.

00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:02,000
So we'll do that a few times and if you do that with a club nearby then what you can

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
do is once you get down into this delivery position basically it around parallel your

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
shoulders should be close to parallel to the target line so this is parallel to the counter

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:20,000
or the chair but my lower body is a good 20 30 degrees open at that point.

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
If you are practicing your delivery position and you're more going like this where the

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
shoulders and the hips are open that would cause you to be too steep so it wouldn't

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
really be usable.

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
So next we're going to try and hit a few where we focus on this delivery checkpoint

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
feeling what we felt with the chair helping our shoulders stay a little bit more closed

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
or square.

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
So now I like to do this in a version of kind of a 9 to 3 where I'm going to try or a

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000
little bit past 9 to 3 where I'm going to try and feel an exaggeration on this white

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
movement where you'll see that the club stays at about the same height compared to

00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
the golf ball.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
So I'm going to get into that position I'm going to feel like my shoulders or my chest

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
stays square as I open my lower body and rotate.

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I know that when I look at this one camera my body is still going to be open but because

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
of what I just did with the chair it's going to feel like my chest and my shoulders

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
stay a little bit more closed.

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I think this is where some of the the feelings of keep your back to the target longer

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
or pull the arms down in front originated.

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
They tend to those feelings tend to help prevent you from spinning the shoulders through

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
fast and I find that the chair wipe does the same thing.

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
So we're going to bring this back.

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
We're going to get that lower body open and that white feel while the feeling of

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:52,000
my chest and shoulders feels like it stays square until the release brings that around.

00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Now I have a feeling I'm going to want to explore into a bigger swing so I'm going to go

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
up towards the top of the swing and I'm going to try to get back to that delivery kind

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
of wipe position.

00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
That felt pretty good with the body.

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
I kind of forgot what I was going to do with the arms but worked out okay just a tiny

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
bit thin.

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Let's do another one maybe with a little clearer intention in the arms.

00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
That was a little bit better.

00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,000
That had good feeling of this getting open while the shoulders staying square but the

00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
arms not getting behind.

00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
It helps with two specific problems.

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
One I've talked about a bunch in this video is pulling with the shoulders.

00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000
The other one is often in an attempt to keep the shoulders more square the arms get

00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,000
behind.

00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
So in trying to keep this chest square or shoulders square as I turn my lower body but then

00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
still getting the arms out in front.

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
That's where the magic in the delivery position really comes from and I find that that

00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
chair can be a helpful kind of a tai chi or at home kind of mirror work where you can really

00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
dial in the physical relationship without a club.

00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
That was pretty good.
