00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
The setup drill is called left foot turn out. Basically figuring out what I need to do with my

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
foot so that it supports what my body can do. So you're going to take the club in place

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
at a cross your hips just like we've done in some of the other drills like the setup drill

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,000
the Jackson 5 any of those moves. And then from here you're going to turn and try to get

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
your pelvis or your belt buckle to face the target while you keep your foot flat. That's the

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
challenge in this drill. I'm not actually hitting a ball. I'm just experimenting with my leg.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:37,000
So as I turn you'll see that my hips are actually about 30 degrees short of where they need to be

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
or where I would like them finishing into the target. To get them to finish facing the target

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
I start to feel a little bit of torque in my ankle and my knee. So what I'm going to do is I'm going

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,000
to take my foot and turn it so that now it's pointed about 30 degrees out to make up for my hip restriction.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Right? Because my left hip is a little tighter than my right hip. If I was playing golf left handed

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,000
I could play with a pretty square foot and have a normal finish. Unfortunately, that left hips a

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
little tight so I've got to turn that left foot out. Now with that left foot turned out it's going

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
to delay when my hip actually needs to do the work. So now I can turn and easily get into this

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000
finished position. So all my setup drills for me are going to start with this foot a little bit

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
turned out like so just so that it's far enough that I can stay in my posture as I go to finish.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Because the problem is if this foot is square and I have this left hip restriction that won't let me

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
turn fully 90 degrees which very few of you will be able to do. So I recommend some foot turn out

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:46,000
for most of you. Well when I get as I approach that breaking point my body is going to save it and

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
it's going to stand up and I'm going to basically get the movement out of my lower back,

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
my right hip, my ankle, my knee, but everything other than that hip. And that stand up move

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
is going to mess with my path and plane as I approach the golf ball. So to avoid that into a

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
allow me to stay down I'm going to turn this foot out 30 degrees, 25 degrees, whatever the magic number

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
is so that I can get into my finished position without having the foot come up. The foot will

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
come up when you're swinging hard especially when you're swinging a driver but for this

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
kind of experiment drill I want you to focus on keeping that foot flat. So simple little way for

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
you to figure out how much foot turn out you need for the downswing. Now as far as the right foot

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
you want that to be turned out just slightly so that it matches the knee. So maybe 5-10 degrees

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000
but if you air in the side of having that foot turned out too much that can limit your ability

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
to use the right hip in the downswing properly depending on what's going on there or the right

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
ankle. So I tend to focus more on where the left foot is and the right foot can be just

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
slightly turned out because if you have a restriction in your right hip there are better ways

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
to get around it than going duck foot. So we're going to focus on the left hip, make sure it supports

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
your body and use that in all your setup drills which will help make your golf swing a little bit more

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
efficient.
