00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.300
This pivot drill is the pivot Chopstick. So we're gonna

1
00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:11.000
take two alignment rods. We're gonna take one of them and place

2
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:14.600
it through our belt loops. And then the other one we're going to hold across

3
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:17.400
the the shoulders. And so this is a good drill that

4
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:20.300
you can do at home. It's not quite as

5
00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.900
useful as a hitting drill because stuff gets in the way but the

6
00:00:23.900 --> 00:00:26.500
pivot chop space helps you work on the

7
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:29.700
sequencing of rotation and side Bend. So

8
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:32.900
it's kind of a sneaky little quality drill that

9
00:00:32.900 --> 00:00:35.100
helps you avoid a few big pivot problems that we'll

10
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:38.200
talk about as we go through it. So done correctly if I got in

11
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.600
this position and I just did the Merry-Go-Round. I'm going

12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.900
to turn my lower body and my upper body.

13
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.300
Is going to strike the stick pointing roughly at the

14
00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.200
golf ball. So looks pretty easy

15
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.400
while I said that there's some sneaky things that this can

16
00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:57.000
help clean up. We'll we'll talk through them.

17
00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:00.600
So a couple different pivot problems that

18
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.900
people can have one if your upper body dominant, if

19
00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:06.200
you really turn that upper body then what will

20
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.100
happen is your upper body will get ahead of the

21
00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:12.400
lower body and it will typically be high kind of

22
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.600
like this. So it will never Strike the bottom

23
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:19.000
stick and it will get ahead of it. When I

24
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.300
do this correctly. If I exaggerate you'll

25
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:24.400
see that the lower body leads and then the upper body catches up

26
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.200
as it reaches impact giving me this really kind

27
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.600
of audible click.

28
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.000
The second thing that this really helps is when you're

29
00:01:33.300 --> 00:01:36.500
trying to get side bend a lot of golfers get

30
00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:39.600
too much kind of unity inside Bend

31
00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:42.600
kind of like this where the upper and the lower body are both

32
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:46.000
side bending together and you get really behind it oftentimes.

33
00:01:45.100 --> 00:01:48.400
These golfers are really solid drivers the

34
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.200
golf ball hit a nice little draw off the tee but have contact problems

35
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.400
with their irons their

36
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.000
Fairway Woods, sometimes even their wedges. So in

37
00:01:57.300 --> 00:02:00.700
that case, I'm having too much access tilt.

38
00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:03.300
I'm getting too much side Bend from the pelvis and not enough just

39
00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:06.200
from the spine. So in that case, I need to

40
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.200
feel like the hips are while they're

41
00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:12.200
still getting forward because of that good kind of

42
00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:14.800
bracing or butt talk. They're more level.

43
00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:19.400
So the shoulders are on a bit of a flatter angle

44
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.000
than the pelvis I can get here and kind of

45
00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:24.000
exaggerate some of those where I'm trying to.

46
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:28.800
Do a little side crunch when I'm down in that position to help

47
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.100
raise that right hip.

48
00:02:31.100 --> 00:02:34.000
so again, I can turn lower body and then

49
00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:37.300
kind of try to really hit it you

50
00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:41.200
can see this is similar to like the beat the drum exercise with

51
00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:43.600
a little extra feedback here where instead

52
00:02:43.600 --> 00:02:46.800
of hitting an object now I can hit this second stick.

53
00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:50.400
So now it becomes a problem when I'm going to try to

54
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.300
add striking elements and we're

55
00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:56.900
so when I bring the the club in

56
00:02:56.900 --> 00:02:57.100
play.

57
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.500
It's very hard to put both hands across your shoulders and hold

58
00:03:00.500 --> 00:03:03.500
on to the golf club. So what I'll do is we'll

59
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:06.200
we'll demonstrate one or two where I hold on to the

60
00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:09.000
club with just one hand. And now if I

61
00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:12.600
get back into that position, you'll see I was close to

62
00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:15.400
striking the the sticks but there's

63
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.800
a lot going on here. This is almost stimulus

64
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.400
overload. Let's see if we can do do one where we actually

65
00:03:22.700 --> 00:03:25.300
help can't quite make contact. Maybe we'll try

66
00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:25.900
left arm.

67
00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:29.300
You'll see why I like this as more of a at-home drill.

68
00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:32.800
You can really emphasize some of these body positions, especially if you're using

69
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.300
a mirror, but let's see if we can do this lead

70
00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:36.900
arm only.

71
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:39.300
So we're trying to get.

72
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:42.000
Kind of into that pattern there.

73
00:03:44.600 --> 00:03:47.000
I don't with very often but like I said,

74
00:03:47.300 --> 00:03:50.600
there is a lot going on in this drill. Let's take this a little

75
00:03:50.600 --> 00:03:51.300
bit further out.

76
00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:56.900
Yeah, so as I've

77
00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:00.300
Demonstrated before with this it's very hard to

78
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:03.200
do striking while you're holding the stick. Even if you're pretty good

79
00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:06.700
at doing these one-arm Trails. So instead what I recommend is

80
00:04:06.700 --> 00:04:09.500
now we're going to keep the stick there just as

81
00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:10.900
a visual element.

82
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.300
So if I did the latter one where

83
00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:18.500
I tend to kind of slide get too

84
00:04:18.500 --> 00:04:20.400
much access till I will actually get blocked.

85
00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:22.300
kind of by the stick

86
00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:26.400
and if I just go with the upper body the

87
00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:29.600
stick will be pointing way back there. So I'm going to try and

88
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.700
point the stick just slightly.

89
00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:36.600
Ahead of or at the golf ball not quite

90
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.800
horizontal but a little bit down but getting

91
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.200
all the way pointing at the golf ball. So now I'm

92
00:04:42.200 --> 00:04:44.200
gonna feel again like my shoulders.

93
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.300
Kind of get into that same position

94
00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.200
I had with the stick. So I like doing that

95
00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:54.800
progression more than trying to do it as a single arm drill. I've got

96
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.600
one student who likes doing it as a single arm drill, but

97
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.600
I haven't had too many others who like it. So I usually

98
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.500
recommend this progression do it at home where you're

99
00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:06.200
practicing actually making contact getting a feeling of

100
00:05:06.200 --> 00:05:09.700
this core activation movement and then do it as a nine

101
00:05:09.700 --> 00:05:12.100
to three with the stick and then you can

102
00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:16.200
go through nine to three ten to two without the

103
00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:19.100
stick just kind of using that

104
00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:21.300
feeling more of a core activation

105
00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:24.400
awareness kind of feeling drill rather than kind of

106
00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:27.300
a restriction drill where it's actually getting

107
00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:30.900
in the way. So try that to improve your core sequencing and

108
00:05:30.900 --> 00:05:33.500
getting a little bit better shoulder compared to

109
00:05:33.500 --> 00:05:36.600
hip relationship in your stock golf swing. So real quick

110
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.200
now, we've got a good feeling of these

111
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:40.200
this pivot ChapSticks.

112
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:43.800
Pretty solid there.

113
00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:45.000
Now let's go.

114
00:05:46.200 --> 00:05:46.800
a little bigger

115
00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:53.800
really solid there got some good feels for the week.
