00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This is my view of the gate drill. So the gate drill is one of those

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
tried and tested path drills. So basically all I've gotten said I'm a

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
normal visual alignment station. I've just got my target line so you can see

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
roughly what I'm doing. So now I'm going to take one object and I'm going to

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
place it about eight inches to a foot behind the wall and then a few inches

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
outside the target line. Then I'm going to take another object and I'm going to

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
put it eight inches to a foot towards the target and then inside the

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
target line. So now from my visual perspective this creates a gate that I'm

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
trying to get the club to swing out through. Now keep in mind that from the

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
transition and the early extension section things like that I am going to try to

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
get my art. The club to go through there but that doesn't mean that my hands

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
are going to be going through there. If my hands end up going through this movement

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
as well we're going kind of out a weight or towards the golf ball as I'm making

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
contact with it. I'll tend to get leading edge strikes and I'll tend to get

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
it kind of heavy. So that body rotation is going to help me shallow the club.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:16,000
What you can do this with either nine to three style kind of like so and you'll

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:24,000
see you can make this as tight a tolerance or as easy as you want. But basically

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
what happens is if you have a normal or a common outside to in swing path then

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
what'll happen is if I was to spin you can see that the club will make

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
contact with one or both of these two head covers. Also what will typically happen

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
is if I normally have this pattern then in order to get the club swinging more

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
to the outside what I'll frequently do is I'll still use the arms in an

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,000
outside in pattern but I'll just stand up to get the club to go like this. So you

00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
want to keep in mind all the good follow through position stuff that we have on our

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:07,000
site so that and the transition shallowing kind of the zoro loops the water bottle

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
transition handle and the bucket. All those things kind of work on how the arms are

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:20,000
going to get the club to swing from this inside out swing path while my body stays

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
in good posture and good alignment. So make sure that you're not cheating by working

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
vertically and standing up make sure that you are actually staying down but still

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
getting the club to swing through that gate and that'll help you a lot with your

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
consistency of contact especially if you struggle with poles and slices.
