Kwon Two-Step

The Kwon Two-Step is a drill I learned from Dr. Kwon, a golf biomechanist in Texas. Ropes are great for training body driven swings. The "step push" is very effective for teaching the spiral pushing motion of the lower body. With this drill, you can apply more and more pressure to the steps in order to rev up the clubhead speed!

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
The sequence drill is the quann2 step.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
So similar I've got the Ben Hogan 2 step, I've got the Sasha McKenzie.

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Here's another way to get your lower body a little bit more active.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
So this is really helpful for golfers who tend to have more of an upper body dominance

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
swing or upper body pull in transition.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
And this is also I'm going to show you a couple different progressions that you can do

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
at home as well as at the range.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
The quann2 step he shows this drill in his class.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
This is learning to blend a little bit of a pressure shift and then a little bit of hip

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
turn with straightening the leg.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
So I'm going to put the club down.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
And first version I'm going to do is I'm going to put my basically grab my biceps

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
so arms crossed like this.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to step on the right leg and then I'm going

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
to straighten the right leg.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
When I straighten that right leg, this hip and this leg are going to go up and back

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
that way.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Then I'm going to step on to the left leg and then I'm going to straighten the left

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
leg so the left and the hip go back that way.

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
So there's a step push step push step push step push.

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
And this is kind of the rhythm of it.

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And now you'll see that my upper body is lagging behind that just slightly.

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
So it's not a this type of movement where everything is stepping together.

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Step push you'll notice I step on to this left foot while my upper body still stays

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
back.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And then as I push my upper body comes through and then my upper body stays there as I

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
step on to the trail foot.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
So step push step push.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
To exaggerate this rhythm of it, I'm going to take a rope.

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Now this is about seven feet of three-quarter inch rope.

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
That's Dr. Quanz favorite.

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So I got to use this rope for this demonstration.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
But you can play around with different thicknesses if this feels a little heavy to you.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So it's about seven feet.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
I'm going to double it up.

00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
So I've got my grip.

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
So now I'm going to step swing step swing.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And I'm just going to get the rhythm of the ball or the rhythm of my upper body and the

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
rope working with the stepping motion.

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Now as I start to take bigger and bigger swings, you'll see if you're doing this more

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
with an arm pull.

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
What you'll feel is the rope will tend to slap you pretty hard.

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,000
But if you're doing it more rhythmically with this step push step push, then it will

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
tend to kind of wrap around you and it won't really strike you.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
So the rope can be a great training aid.

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
You either walk away with some bruises and some confusion or you walk away with a feeling

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000
of this really good rhythm of using your lower body to transfer that speed into the rope.

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
The great things about ropes is I can't really move it a whole lot just with my wrist.

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I have to move it by applying more of this force along the rope instead of perpendicular

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
or tangent to it.

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So it does a great job of connecting the timing of this lower body step push step push

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
to the timing of when the arms are going to pass that energy onto the club.

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
So now that I've got a little bit of a rhythm feel, I can pick up my club and hit some

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
shots.

00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,000
So here we've got two different ways we can kind of do this.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
So first one is with a little actual step.

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000
So again now the club head is just a stiffer version of the rope.

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,000
So I'm still trying to feel the club head lag behind a little bit what my body is doing.

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
It's all going to start with that rhythm in that stepping.

00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:59,000
So I'm going to start with a little kind of three-quarter-ish, nine-three-ish step.

00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
And you'll notice it has the step in the back and then step on the way through.

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
We're step to start transition.

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
So here we're going to step push that push.

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,000
It's a little kind of disconnected on that one but not too bad.

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Now we're going to do the same thing.

00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Step push that push.

00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Now you'll notice that as I'm stepping I'm not shifting my upper body dramatically over

00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000
one foot or the other.

00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000
My upper body tends to stay centered as my pressure and my lower body has a little bit more

00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
of this shift to it.

00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000
So this can be a great drill for getting the lower body more involved and feeling kind

00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
of the proper sequence of leading with your legs.

00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Next one I'll add a little bit more pace.

00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,000
So the step is going to feel longer but it's going to still have that same rhythm to it.

00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
So step push.

00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Step push.

00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
So you can use these stepping drills to help activate your lower body.

00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
If you're a little bit too upper body dominant in transition.
