This drill is the lead foot backstep. So this is

1
00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:11.900
a drill to help get the lower body working

2
00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:14.500
correctly, especially that the front leg or

3
00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:17.300
the lead leg. So this is also I

4
00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:20.700
had a question of from William on

5
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.500
the site. He was asking about pushing up versus pushing back.

6
00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.200
So I figured I'd do a video to kind of tie it together and I

7
00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:29.400
use this drill some what frequently so here's how

8
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:33.100
I explained it. If I if we had I'm just

9
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.500
gonna hold the club here and I wanted to rotate it

10
00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:38.300
this way. I could either pull up from this side

11
00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:41.400
or I could push down from this side now if I put this

12
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:44.600
on the ground and I try to get rotation towards

13
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.400
the target I could either

14
00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.700
Pull on this side, or I could push on this side basically

15
00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.600
to rotate my lower body. I could

16
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.000
either push this foot backward which would

17
00:00:56.300 --> 00:00:59.000
cause this side to spin or I could

18
00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:02.400
push that leg forward. I could push the ground away

19
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:05.700
from me that way almost like I was running backwards

20
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.300
or taking a step backwards. So it

21
00:01:08.300 --> 00:01:11.600
pushes kind of back like this and it happens fairly

22
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:11.900
early.

23
00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:16.300
So what the two golfers that

24
00:01:16.300 --> 00:01:19.700
tend to need a little bit more of this our golfers who have a

25
00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:22.100
lot of a slide or even if it's not much of

26
00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:25.200
a slide if it just kind of there's no straightening the leg. It's

27
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.500
just a bent kickstand and I'm just using my

28
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.200
arms kind of throwing them through like that

29
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.200
as opposed to if I were to actually

30
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.300
feel like I pushed away this way

31
00:01:37.300 --> 00:01:40.300
like I was stepping backward then what would

32
00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:40.500
happen?

33
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:44.600
Is that leg would straighten as those arms straight

34
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:47.200
and it would help shallow out or clean

35
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:48.400
up the bottom of the swing a little bit.

36
00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:53.200
So the actual drill is a back step

37
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.500
and I use the the image of running

38
00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:58.100
backward, but this foot is going to stay planted. So

39
00:01:58.100 --> 00:02:01.500
if I ran backward like this, I'm actually going to open

40
00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:05.100
up and kind of finish facing the target an example

41
00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:08.700
where you can see the upper limit of this would be Kyle Berkshire

42
00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:11.500
where when he is really swinging all

43
00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:13.000
out. He actually does

44
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.300
step back and he will finish facing the target more

45
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:20.500
like this rather than keeping that foot planted in order

46
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:23.200
to come back this way. I'm going to feel like I

47
00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:25.000
have to push against the ground.

48
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.100
Like I was pushing away this way, but

49
00:02:28.100 --> 00:02:31.400
as I'm doing that with that left leg this

50
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.500
right side is coming around or coming through. So as

51
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.600
this feeling of the left leg getting out of the way going back

52
00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:40.000
or the right side going through. I remember

53
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.600
early in Tigers career. He used to talk about a feeling of snapping

54
00:02:43.600 --> 00:02:47.200
the lead leg. I think this was kind

55
00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:49.700
of his way of feeling that that proper

56
00:02:49.700 --> 00:02:50.600
lead foot push.

57
00:02:51.700 --> 00:02:54.900
So now you can either preset

58
00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:57.000
it by putting most of your weight onto the

59
00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:00.200
front foot or you can do it. Dynamically. If you

60
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:03.600
preset it, then basically from right

61
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:07.000
around here. Once you get your arms pretty much

62
00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:09.700
your left arm parallel, we're

63
00:03:09.700 --> 00:03:12.300
going to feel like we do a little bit of a

64
00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:15.500
back step with a little bit of a hop and we're doing

65
00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:18.300
that back step to try to exaggerate the movement.

66
00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:21.600
Especially this is especially

67
00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:24.200
important. If you are really armed dominant, you will feel like

68
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:27.100
you can't step and still hit the golf ball.

69
00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:32.100
Um, this helps you overcome that barrier now if we're going to do

70
00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:36.700
it more. Dynamically, we're going to have a little bit of a load

71
00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:38.100
and then as soon as

72
00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:40.600
we get into that side, then we're going to push.

73
00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:45.100
Out of it. So my arms are going to have to be pretty patient because

74
00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:47.200
I'm going to have time to have a little bit of a

75
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:49.000
shift push.

76
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.800
So here we go more of a

77
00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:56.000
shift push didn't make the full step on that one.

78
00:03:57.100 --> 00:03:59.300
Kind of forgot what I was doing here. We'll do.

79
00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:03.100
One more, so we're up shift.

80
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:04.700
step back

81
00:04:05.900 --> 00:04:08.000
Now if you have a

82
00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:12.100
hard time making contact this can also help you with getting some of that side

83
00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:14.200
Bend similar to the side Bend through

84
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:17.800
the ground idea. Once you have a clear feeling of this

85
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.500
leg pushing back, then you can try and

86
00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:24.200
just recreate that same feel without actually

87
00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:25.600
having a big step.

88
00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:30.600
So just have a feeling of that leg going backward

89
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.300
as that right side comes through that will

90
00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:37.700
help you if you're again struggling with

91
00:04:37.700 --> 00:04:40.000
too much of a slide or too much of kind of

92
00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:43.500
a buckle of that lower body on the way through so real quick full

93
00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:46.200
demo. We're gonna do full back step.

94
00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:52.500
Kind of like that. So you'll see these are mostly in the nine to

95
00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:52.700
three.

96
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.000
or 10 to 2 Zone

97
00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:58.200
Now we're going to do back step with a little bit more

98
00:04:58.200 --> 00:04:58.800
shift. So

99
00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:01.400
It's pretty good.

100
00:05:05.900 --> 00:05:08.500
Now we're going to do back step, but

101
00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:10.100
without actually stepping.

102
00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:11.900
So up.

103
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:13.400
back step

104
00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:17.200
and now we're gonna do it out of more of a full swing which just

105
00:05:17.200 --> 00:05:21.300
forces me to wait a little bit longer, but this usually feels kind

106
00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:22.800
of the most comfortable.

107
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:24.300
Ready?

108
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:26.700
back step

109
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.100
Good, so that lower body backs up kind

110
00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:33.100
of helping to trigger the release one of the ways to clean

111
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:36.000
up some of your floppy lower body mechanics.
