This pivot drill is doorway slaps.

1
00:00:07.705 --> 00:00:11.125
Um, so this pivot drill is designed to help you blend

2
00:00:12.005 --> 00:00:13.365
rotation and side bend.

3
00:00:13.425 --> 00:00:15.885
So it's kind of a dynamic version of like a,

4
00:00:16.085 --> 00:00:17.085
a shoulder plane

5
00:00:17.105 --> 00:00:20.205
or merry-go-round drill, um, where you would put your,

6
00:00:20.625 --> 00:00:23.445
the club across your shoulders and you're going to try

7
00:00:23.445 --> 00:00:25.165
and get more of the shoulder tilt.

8
00:00:25.165 --> 00:00:26.645
So it's emphasizing, um,

9
00:00:26.645 --> 00:00:29.045
getting the shoulders pointing down in the general

10
00:00:29.045 --> 00:00:30.125
direction of the golf ball.

11
00:00:30.425 --> 00:00:33.165
Um, it can be helpful for golfers who when they try

12
00:00:33.165 --> 00:00:36.205
to get side bend, um, try to do it too much

13
00:00:36.205 --> 00:00:37.565
with just the bump of the hips.

14
00:00:37.625 --> 00:00:39.365
And as you saw when I did that,

15
00:00:39.535 --> 00:00:41.405
there was no real change in the spine.

16
00:00:41.745 --> 00:00:46.365
Um, so, uh, doorway laps here, we're gonna stand in a door

17
00:00:46.425 --> 00:00:47.565
or you could just use a hallway.

18
00:00:47.745 --> 00:00:50.365
Um, but we, you want something, um, kind of,

19
00:00:50.755 --> 00:00:52.845
that helps define the space for you a little bit better.

20
00:00:52.845 --> 00:00:53.885
Once you've done it a few times,

21
00:00:53.885 --> 00:00:58.205
then you don't really need the, the actual, um, framework.

22
00:00:58.265 --> 00:00:59.765
You could just do it out on the range.

23
00:01:00.065 --> 00:01:03.005
Uh, but what we're going to do is first version, it's kind

24
00:01:03.005 --> 00:01:04.445
of the, we'll call it the easy version.

25
00:01:04.825 --> 00:01:06.605
I'm gonna get down in my golf posture

26
00:01:07.225 --> 00:01:10.485
and I'm going to position myself so that I'm in the middle

27
00:01:10.485 --> 00:01:13.045
of the doorway and I'm going to, uh,

28
00:01:13.225 --> 00:01:16.685
put my hands up against the wall to my backside hip.

29
00:01:16.945 --> 00:01:18.045
And you'll see when I do this,

30
00:01:18.145 --> 00:01:20.725
the trail shoulder is higher than the lead.

31
00:01:21.065 --> 00:01:23.805
And then when I come through, I'm going to switch hands.

32
00:01:24.185 --> 00:01:26.925
So it's gonna look kind of like this

33
00:01:27.305 --> 00:01:30.685
and I can do it a little bit, um, kind of dynamically

34
00:01:30.745 --> 00:01:33.085
or rhythmically where there's a little bit

35
00:01:33.245 --> 00:01:35.685
of acceleration into the wall on both sides.

36
00:01:36.345 --> 00:01:40.245
Um, so what you'll see is when I do this,

37
00:01:40.365 --> 00:01:42.525
I get into a really good natural position

38
00:01:42.525 --> 00:01:45.245
of getting side bend, but while also getting

39
00:01:45.315 --> 00:01:46.765
more rotation for the pelvis.

40
00:01:47.145 --> 00:01:50.325
Um, so we've got kind of version one like, like this.

41
00:01:50.505 --> 00:01:53.485
Now, if I wanted to make it even more representative,

42
00:01:53.925 --> 00:01:55.165
I would actually switch my hands.

43
00:01:55.225 --> 00:01:58.445
So instead of being, um, more like this,

44
00:01:58.925 --> 00:02:00.765
I would have my hands in this position.

45
00:02:00.825 --> 00:02:02.045
And then when I came through,

46
00:02:02.805 --> 00:02:04.525
I would have my hands in this position.

47
00:02:04.525 --> 00:02:09.045
So basically the top hand is going to be, um, rotating so

48
00:02:09.045 --> 00:02:11.005
that the back of the hand is facing the wall instead

49
00:02:11.005 --> 00:02:12.325
of slapping it like this.

50
00:02:12.465 --> 00:02:14.445
So I'm slapping there, slapping there.

51
00:02:15.625 --> 00:02:18.325
And this can help you feel, like I said, this blend

52
00:02:18.325 --> 00:02:19.725
of rotation and side bend.

53
00:02:20.065 --> 00:02:22.165
Um, now the,

54
00:02:22.265 --> 00:02:25.085
the one caveat is if I'm staying really centered

55
00:02:25.185 --> 00:02:27.085
and stacked like this, this would be a little bit more

56
00:02:27.105 --> 00:02:30.765
of an iron based, uh, drill of the doorway laps.

57
00:02:30.865 --> 00:02:32.965
If I wanted to do a driver base, I would kind

58
00:02:32.965 --> 00:02:35.925
of preset a little bit of a hip light, uh, tilt like this.

59
00:02:36.305 --> 00:02:38.005
And so then when I hit it,

60
00:02:38.325 --> 00:02:40.925
I would hit higher into the follow through side

61
00:02:41.145 --> 00:02:43.125
and lower into the downswing side.

62
00:02:43.425 --> 00:02:46.845
So lower, higher, just like that would, would give us

63
00:02:46.845 --> 00:02:48.765
that natural, you know, 20 degree tilt

64
00:02:48.765 --> 00:02:49.845
that we try to do with the driver.

65
00:02:50.345 --> 00:02:53.445
Um, so this can be a really good drill, like I said, for,

66
00:02:53.585 --> 00:02:57.405
for blending this feeling of rotating and side bending

67
00:02:57.505 --> 00:02:59.645
and feeling a little bit more of a crunch.

68
00:03:00.035 --> 00:03:03.485
Once I have that feel, now what I can do is I can do

69
00:03:03.485 --> 00:03:04.805
that doorway slap.

70
00:03:05.315 --> 00:03:07.205
This is good for kind of at home training.

71
00:03:07.465 --> 00:03:09.005
And now when I put my hands on there,

72
00:03:09.385 --> 00:03:10.925
I'm gonna feel like, oh wow.

73
00:03:11.385 --> 00:03:13.405
Uh, I feel a lot more contraction

74
00:03:13.405 --> 00:03:15.045
or crunch on this side here.

75
00:03:15.385 --> 00:03:17.845
Um, where normally I feel like I turn

76
00:03:17.845 --> 00:03:20.005
and my shoulders would be level if I turn

77
00:03:20.025 --> 00:03:22.525
and my shoulders would be level, you could see

78
00:03:22.835 --> 00:03:24.045
what that would look like.

79
00:03:24.435 --> 00:03:27.725
Here would be more of kind of doing like this.

80
00:03:27.745 --> 00:03:30.525
And that would be more of an upper body dominant pivot

81
00:03:30.655 --> 00:03:32.925
where this doorway slap is gonna give us.

82
00:03:32.925 --> 00:03:34.645
With the side bend, we're gonna get a little bit more hip,

83
00:03:35.065 --> 00:03:37.085
um, and core are crunch dominant.

84
00:03:37.425 --> 00:03:40.325
So I highly recommend this as a little pivot drill.

85
00:03:40.545 --> 00:03:43.965
Um, if you're working on your overall, uh, centerness

86
00:03:43.965 --> 00:03:47.765
of pivot and the blend of getting some side bend, uh,

87
00:03:47.765 --> 00:03:49.285
with your rotation and extension.
