Head On A Pillow

The image of looking at the target sideways, or upside down, or the imagery of having your head on a pillow in follow through position can help reinforce a proper pivot through the ball.

The drill is head on a pillow. So head on a pillow is designed to help you work on the side

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,000
tilt and extension that we want to have happen from impact through your follow-through. So a lot of

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
beginning golfers or a lot of higher handicap golfers are going to have a specific look where basically

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
they're going to get into this follow-through position with the shoulders fairly level and I'm turned

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000
in face just like so. Now if I did that facing the camera what you would see is that basically

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
I had to stand up and my shoulder got really high as my arms extended and that'll usually be

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
accompanied with a little bit of this ticking wing. So it'll kind of have a look similar to that.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,000
One way of getting the side tilt is to use your eyes and so if you were to get this Jackson 5 movement

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
and if you were to continue doing the side bend then what will happen is when you come through it'll

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000
actually your eyes will be on a much more of a tilt kind of like so or it'll feel like your head is

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000
resting on a pillow. There's a common thought that a lot of instructors have used um either look at it

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
upside down look at it sideways or put your head on a pillow. So if I was to do it from this

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,000
down the line you would basically see that if I keep my my side tilt my eyes are going to be looking like

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
this to the horizon instead of level to the horizon. So when you're working on your 9 to 3 in

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000
your training your follow through position you can focus on where are my eyes and how does that

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
relate to my side bend? If you find yourself getting into this kind of more level,

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
chicken wings style everything looks my eyes are parallel with the horizon. There's a good

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
chance that you haven't done enough of the side tilt so use your eyes to help dial that in.
