00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:07.600
Drill is the chest bump abstretch. So

1
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:10.300
we're gonna talk about the spine going into

2
00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:13.600
extension during your release and into the bracing position

3
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:16.300
and into the follow-through position that can have

4
00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:19.200
a really big impact on controlling your low point line

5
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:22.200
and basically getting your upper body more covering the ball.

6
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:25.100
So this has a much bigger impact in your

7
00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:28.500
swing for your short irons your

8
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:31.500
wedge shots into your mid irons. Typically, it's

9
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:34.800
not quite as critical for the longer

10
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:37.500
clubs, but it's still useful for the longer clubs.

11
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.600
So what we're gonna talk about here is basically the

12
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.000
spine going into from flexion

13
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.400
going into extension and really talking

14
00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:49.500
about more the rib cage and kind of the upper spine.

15
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:50.700
So,

16
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.900
I'll walk you through the concept and then talk you a couple kind of

17
00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:57.300
ways that you can practice that both at home at the range.

18
00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.500
So first if if we looked at

19
00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:03.300
my spine like this pool noodle, right if my

20
00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.500
upper body was really rounded like this then as I

21
00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:09.600
rotate my lower body my head which

22
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.200
is the end of this pool noodle would have a tendency to

23
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.300
move. Well, if this is the spine you're

24
00:01:15.300 --> 00:01:18.300
you're arms connect onto the rib cage, which is actually

25
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:21.600
out at the front of the spine kind of like this. So if this

26
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:25.200
just turns then your ribcage is going to move and

27
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.200
the center of your swing is going to move with

28
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.100
it on the other hand. If I was to go into more extension

29
00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:33.300
as I was turning then what

30
00:01:33.300 --> 00:01:35.900
would happen is as I was turning my head.

31
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:41.200
Would basically stay more in line. So oftentimes

32
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.700
a lot of golfers who

33
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:46.500
struggle with low point in contact a whole

34
00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:49.700
host of either hang back or excessive tilt.

35
00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:53.300
The upper body is a little bit more flexed often because

36
00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:56.300
the arms are a little too dominant in their throw pattern

37
00:01:56.300 --> 00:01:59.100
and then on the way through it kind of

38
00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:02.400
stays flexed and so you end up having the shallowing moving

39
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.200
because the bottom of Swing or the bottom of the spine is

40
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.300
kind of kicking out from under it as opposed to if I was to

41
00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:09.400
extend

42
00:02:10.700 --> 00:02:13.600
My chest as I'm going through you'll see

43
00:02:13.600 --> 00:02:16.200
that that just looks like I am rotating.

44
00:02:17.100 --> 00:02:21.300
But staying more inline kind of like this. So a

45
00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:23.100
phrase that I'll use is I want you

46
00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:26.300
to keep your abs tight. I don't want to be doing a really big hyper extension

47
00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:29.700
of the lower back. But I want you to feel like you're picking your

48
00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:32.000
chest up or like you're stretching your

49
00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.100
abs into this finished position. I guess

50
00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:38.300
that can really help with the low point because if I'm if I'm here

51
00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:41.900
if I if my spine was on top of my pelvis, I would

52
00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:45.000
be way forward so oftentimes if

53
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:47.500
I'm rounded in my upper spine,

54
00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:50.500
then I will kick this forward and you can see that could create

55
00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:52.600
too much tilt especially for the shorter clubs.

56
00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:56.700
So oftentimes if you're not going into extension

57
00:02:56.700 --> 00:02:59.400
that'll show up as either a shallowing with

58
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.200
some extension, but most often it's excessive tilt in

59
00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:04.900
kind of slide and hang back. So

60
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.600
What are we gonna do about it? We're gonna do some nine to

61
00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:11.100
threes and we're gonna work this into kind of

62
00:03:11.100 --> 00:03:14.500
the single leg or the stork drill. So first one

63
00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.400
just working on a nine to three we're gonna

64
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.700
feel like from the top of the nine to

65
00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:23.500
three because it's the shorter swing and

66
00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:26.300
we're starting kind of at the beginning of the release. We're just gonna feel

67
00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:29.200
like we extend as we rotate

68
00:03:30.100 --> 00:03:33.200
So oftentimes feeling extended will get

69
00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:36.500
confused with standing up. So from the down the

70
00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:40.000
line, I'm going to get into kind of this little prep move.

71
00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:42.400
So I've got my hands on the club just like this and

72
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.500
then I'm going to extend my rib

73
00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:46.300
cage kind of like this.

74
00:03:47.100 --> 00:03:50.300
So when I do that, I feel more activity in

75
00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:53.500
my mid back, but my abs are on so I'm not I'm not

76
00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:56.900
doing like a really big tilt of the pelvis kind

77
00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:57.200
of like that.

78
00:03:58.100 --> 00:04:01.500
I'm just getting some extension from that upper body. So now that's

79
00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:05.200
going to allow me to feel when I do that. Dynamically, that's

80
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:07.700
going to allow me to feel like I'm

81
00:04:07.700 --> 00:04:08.500
still staying.

82
00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:12.400
Tilted in my posture but extending so

83
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.900
that I can cover that leg without falling forward.

84
00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:20.400
So this is one of the secrets to working on Single

85
00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:22.400
Leg style drills is if you're

86
00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:25.500
doing a drill where you're kind of in a

87
00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:28.700
stork position and turning if you turn wall

88
00:04:28.700 --> 00:04:31.400
you stay flexed you'll tend to move all over the

89
00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:34.700
place. But if you learn how to turn wolf thing

90
00:04:34.700 --> 00:04:37.300
centered you can see in order to do that. I have

91
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:40.300
a little bit more of this extension.

92
00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:45.600
Tilt pattern. So again, the Tilt is happening or

93
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.200
the extension is happening more in your ribs and kind of

94
00:04:48.200 --> 00:04:51.300
your upper spine not so much in your lower back.

95
00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:54.300
You want to make sure that your abs stay engaged as you're

96
00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:57.400
going into that follow through so this can help clean

97
00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:00.200
up a lot of different movements. I find that

98
00:05:00.200 --> 00:05:02.000
it's really useful for practicing.

99
00:05:03.200 --> 00:05:06.200
With your nine to three and then you can check. Oh that would

100
00:05:06.200 --> 00:05:09.300
have been a little bit better. So I was a little bit back. I did feel

101
00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:12.300
a little bit extra activity there in the lower

102
00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:12.500
back.

103
00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:16.300
So we'll see if we can do one more

104
00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:18.500
good one. Well nine to three.

105
00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:23.900
That was a little bit better. We check it good. So

106
00:05:23.900 --> 00:05:26.200
the feeling of the chest being up

107
00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:29.400
or almost like I'm stretching the upper part of my abs or like

108
00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:32.600
the upper part of my abs compared to the impact line

109
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.600
is the furthest forward. Those are some kind of visuals

110
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.400
or feels that will help you get your upper body

111
00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:41.700
to cover that lead leg a little bit better. So if

112
00:05:41.700 --> 00:05:44.200
you're struggling with contact on your nine to

113
00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:47.300
three's and the release the arms look like they're working in

114
00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:50.700
a pretty good fashion. Then double check the chest location

115
00:05:50.700 --> 00:05:53.500
for your impact line that can have a big impact on

116
00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:56.700
shaft lean big impact on contact and overall

117
00:05:56.700 --> 00:05:59.100
consistency one quick little point. So I

118
00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:02.400
don't have to add a clarification video at the bottom. This also not

119
00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:05.500
only helps with some of the pivot related issues. It helps

120
00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:08.100
with kind of the the look of

121
00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:11.500
buckling kind of the throw and buckle that

122
00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:14.400
happens when your arms get too much extension because

123
00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:17.200
they're too active that rounds that upper part of the

124
00:06:17.200 --> 00:06:20.400
spine and then you'll use the legs to

125
00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:23.300
Round the spine and the shift the low point

126
00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:27.000
forward. So if you have more of a look of

127
00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:30.700
kind of like that then getting more

128
00:06:29.700 --> 00:06:32.400
of this extension movement.

129
00:06:33.900 --> 00:06:36.200
Will really help make it

130
00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:39.300
look more smooth and body driven on the way through.

131
00:06:40.900 --> 00:06:44.000
As opposed to a little bit more stall flippy. So

132
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.300
focus on that with

133
00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:49.600
your nine to three getting into a really good bracing

134
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.300
position extension of the upper spine. Not the

135
00:06:52.300 --> 00:06:55.500
lower keep those abs and glutes engaged as you get into that bracing

136
00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:55.700
position.
