This is the reverse walking drill. Um, so first I want to give credit to, uh,

1
00:00:10.070 --> 00:00:13.240
Andreas Ali. Uh, I think that, um, I,

2
00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:15.000
I was listening to a presentation and he was talking about,

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:19.840
I don't know if he came up with it, but, um, it makes a lot of sense. So, um,

4
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:24.720
as you know, I love, uh, the four ball rhythm drill for getting, um,

5
00:00:24.860 --> 00:00:29.800
the core to feel like it's moving. Um, got a video below of, of,

6
00:00:29.900 --> 00:00:32.600
uh, um, Lee Trevino demonstrating this drill.

7
00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:35.800
He describes it as a way to kind of hit it with your chest turn and not with

8
00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:38.800
your arms. 'cause it doesn't require, if you hit with your arms,

9
00:00:38.870 --> 00:00:43.320
it's going to require a reset, but if you hit with your body, um,

10
00:00:43.540 --> 00:00:47.280
it won't require a reset. You can stay in constant motion. Now,

11
00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:51.760
I've traditionally done this drill walking forward. Um,

12
00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:56.440
so basically getting the club swinging like this

13
00:00:56.660 --> 00:01:01.040
and then walking forward into each shot, kind of like that.

14
00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:02.680
Now, um,

15
00:01:03.220 --> 00:01:08.000
the advantage of walking backwards is I think you train the lead leg

16
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.800
working against the ground more accurately for how it's gonna work in the golf

17
00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:16.600
swing. Um, so I'm just gonna push that a little bit out of the way.

18
00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:17.740
Um,

19
00:01:17.740 --> 00:01:21.640
and the only difference here is I'm still gonna do the four ball rhythm drill,

20
00:01:21.820 --> 00:01:25.080
but I'm gonna walk backwards. And so in walking backwards,

21
00:01:25.790 --> 00:01:30.280
what I feel personally is, um, you're gonna have to post up a little bit better,

22
00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:35.120
uh, in this lead leg. And you're gonna feel like your weight is moving, um,

23
00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:39.240
more towards the back half of the foot. Um, where when you're walking forward,

24
00:01:39.350 --> 00:01:44.200
it's very easy to move into the toes and kind of slide forward and kind

25
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.880
of cut the follow through or cut the, uh,

26
00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:48.880
bracing movement in that lead hip a little bit short.

27
00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:52.760
So we're just gonna get that same Now, it,

28
00:01:52.820 --> 00:01:54.760
it might take a little bit of, uh,

29
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:59.600
getting used to where you need to look in order to, um, strike the golf ball.

30
00:01:59.800 --> 00:02:04.600
'cause we're used to, um, moving that way or kind of focusing that,

31
00:02:04.660 --> 00:02:07.840
uh, further away from us. Um, but starting further away,

32
00:02:08.140 --> 00:02:10.680
get its swinging back and forth, got the rhythm,

33
00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:15.480
and now kind of honing in on the golf balls

34
00:02:15.830 --> 00:02:20.760
each time. And as I go through there, I'm gonna feel a little bit more,

35
00:02:21.140 --> 00:02:24.960
um, bracing or posting up or, uh,

36
00:02:25.350 --> 00:02:29.080
kind of a more stable lead foot, more stable lead side. Um,

37
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.280
and I usually do four, but you can, you can vary it, uh,

38
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.000
depending on if you're practicing off mats. Um,

39
00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:37.760
if you're paying for your range balls, uh,

40
00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:40.800
you can take more practice swings in between. Um,

41
00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:45.800
but I'm a fan of kind of four. I think it challenges you, uh,

42
00:02:45.860 --> 00:02:49.880
to kind of keep the focus long enough

43
00:02:51.350 --> 00:02:56.160
just like that. Those were getting pretty good. Um, and in doing so, again,

44
00:02:56.320 --> 00:02:58.040
I feel a little bit more of this, uh,

45
00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:01.120
turtle shell or bracing or moving away from the golf ball.

46
00:03:01.230 --> 00:03:05.400
Some of this anti early extension things that ultimately lead to a little bit

47
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.120
better core action during your relief. So if you're,

48
00:03:08.180 --> 00:03:12.520
if you've tried the other one, give this, uh, reverse walking a go.

49
00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:15.240
And if you've never tried one of these drills where you're, uh,

50
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:16.880
forced to maintain constant motion,

51
00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:19.880
it's a really good way for waking up the core, um,

52
00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:21.560
and swinging a little bit more body.

53
00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:25.240
So I highly recommend it for getting out of an arm throw pattern during the

54
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:26.073
release.

55
00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:30.560
I.
