00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This drill is down the shaft for late-challowing.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,000
So some golfers tend to be okay or reasonably okay at this point in the swing and then

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
as they get down more towards the release, tend to get really steep down at the bottom.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Sometimes we lose sight of the path of where we might want the club to go.

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
So what we're going to do is we're going to put a shaft in the ground and allow us to

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
trace it just to kind of feel this space.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000
So what I'm going to do is whatever club I'm using, I recommend a mid-dashort iron.

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
It's a little harder with the longer clubs.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
But what I'm going to do is I'm basically going to match the spine angle just like this,

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
but I'm going to put it back here.

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
So I've got to get it at about the right angle.

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
That'll take a little bit of wiggle room.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000
So I'm going to or experimentation, I should say.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
So I've got that in the ground roughly at the angle of the club just like that.

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
And now I have to find ball position.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So you'll see this doesn't work for full swings, but for nine to three is I'm working on

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
that bottom of the swing.

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Now I can kind of get a sense of where that would swing and I can see that's bottoming

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
out right about here.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So I'm going to make sure that when I do this I'm not just using my arms, but I'm getting

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
a little bit of unhinged as my body is rotating.

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So as a decent checkpoint in this start position I want my hips pointing out in front

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
of the golf ball and my chest pointing or my belly button pointing more at the golf ball.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
So even though my shoulders are kind of still back in the club feels like it's behind

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000
me, my body is nice and open and then I'm feeling that first move kind of slide down

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
just like so.

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Now you can actually make contact on these nine to three's though trust me, you're probably

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:06,000
going to bottom out behind the golf ball for the first dozen or hundred that you try.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
But allowing you to feel that shallowing happening more from the owner deviation as my

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
body is rotating through.

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:21,000
So there was a little late with the body that was not too bad with the arms, but a little

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
late with the body so I hit it a little bit fat.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
So there's kind of that body.

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
A little bit better like I said, finding low point on this drill is very challenging.

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
But then what I can do is I can instead of putting it where I would slide it down the

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
shaft.

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Now I'm just going to move the ball and extra couple inches.

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And so now I'm going to visually kind of feel like the club is going more down through that

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
space as my body brings it through.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
This is not a drill that everyone needs, but if you have the tendency to get really

00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
on top of it and get steep late, this can be a really eye opener for you.

00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
The two main ways that you're going to get the club to go down the shaft are having a

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
little bit of the Jackson 5 or side tilt or having more of that owner deviation.

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
You can look at video and kind of see which one you might need to successfully execute it.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000
This helps you to find the space and get used to where the path of the club is going

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:28,000
to be during the the nine to three kind of coming from that delivery position down to impact.

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000
You can potentially put up a second stick on the outside, but it's a, I find it's a little

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
bit harder to visualize that one and it's a lot harder to position it exactly correct.

00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000
So I tend to use more of this delivery side when working on this downswing late steepening

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
movement. Again, owner deviation and side bend will help you with it, but make sure you still

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000
have some body sequence to lead the arms. Don't just do this shallowing movement all with the arms.
