This concept video is revisiting the pause at

1
00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:12.700
the top drill or hit from the top. So earlier on

2
00:00:12.700 --> 00:00:15.400
I've created a video called

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.500
hit from the top that was paying homage to tigers old

4
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:22.500
drill the butcherman had him working on and it's

5
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.100
really good for working on changing the top of

6
00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:28.200
your backswing positions because it gives you a little

7
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:30.000
bit more time to experience what's going on.

8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.600
And it gives you because of that time you can kind of

9
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.800
check things where oftentimes once the

10
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:40.500
club and the arms go out of you. A lot of golfers have

11
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.900
a hard time feeling what's going on. So this

12
00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:47.700
can help really refine the top of the backswing. Well, I've

13
00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:49.900
I've since heard both Fred

14
00:00:49.900 --> 00:00:52.300
Couples and Xander schoffler talk about how

15
00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:55.600
that was one of their big drills as well. So we

16
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.200
got three golfers who say that they used to do a lot of this

17
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.300
drill where you go to the top stop and then swing

18
00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:04.300
down from there Tiger Woods Fred Couples

19
00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:08.100
Xander softly. I'd say that's a pretty good cluster of

20
00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:10.300
ball Strikers to

21
00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:10.900
model after

22
00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:14.400
Now in addition to helping you work on

23
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.400
kind of the top of the backswing it

24
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.800
really helps with taking away some automatic triggers

25
00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:23.800
and working on your downswing sequencing. I

26
00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:26.900
find that some golfers who get really armsy or

27
00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:29.500
or kind of pull down or spin with

28
00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:32.900
the shoulders. When you do more of this hit from

29
00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:35.500
the top drill you get your lower body to

30
00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:38.800
initiate the downswing without a whole

31
00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:41.900
lot of conscious thought because typically when

32
00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.600
you do this backswing position and you

33
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:47.200
stop there you'll be a little bit more.

34
00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:51.400
Over that trail side. And so if you were to

35
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.300
then just fire really hard you'll tend to have low Point issues

36
00:01:54.300 --> 00:01:57.400
or you'll tend to have path coming too much outside in

37
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:58.200
so

38
00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:01.800
If you get to that position where we're up

39
00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:04.100
at the top of the Swing stop and then from there.

40
00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:08.200
We're gonna tend to or we're gonna try and get

41
00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:11.200
to our good follow-through position. You'll see that in order to do

42
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:14.500
that. You'll tend to have to have a pretty good initiation from

43
00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:18.100
the lower body. Now, I do think this can

44
00:02:17.100 --> 00:02:20.600
be this drill

45
00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:23.200
can be a problem for some golfers who

46
00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:27.900
don't connect the lower body into the swing very well in

47
00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:29.900
which case maybe stopping

48
00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:32.500
at more three quarter and then kind of

49
00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:36.200
making that pause just before

50
00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:38.800
the top of the backswing instead of truly at

51
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.100
the top of the backswing. I think that can help prevent getting

52
00:02:41.100 --> 00:02:44.500
two armsy.

53
00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:46.500
If you're more one of these upper body spin guys,

54
00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:50.200
But if you look at your cell phone video and you don't

55
00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:53.600
like either the arms collapsing or the body

56
00:02:53.600 --> 00:02:57.400
kind of going up or like a excessive

57
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.300
Trail leg straightening or

58
00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:02.200
a little sway one of these kind of like trigger moves that

59
00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:05.100
are often subconscious and really hard to get out

60
00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:08.600
of if you're willing. This is a ultimate torture drill,

61
00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:11.400
but it can really help clean up

62
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.200
both that top of the backswing as well as that that

63
00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:17.500
sequencing and that feeling of

64
00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:20.500
a proper transition. So it's a

65
00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:23.500
simple drill you just go up to the top of the Swing wait longer

66
00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:26.400
than you think is comfortable. So usually I say two

67
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.700
or three seconds and then from here, you're gonna try

68
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.100
And get into your good downswing delivery

69
00:03:33.100 --> 00:03:35.600
and then into your follow-through position.

70
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.500
So if you haven't tried it and you want a challenge and

71
00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:42.000
you want a sequencing drill, highly recommend you check it out.

72
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.700
Maybe it will become one of your go-to's for

73
00:03:45.700 --> 00:03:48.400
resetting some of your sequencing or

74
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.900
top of this backswing positions. Just like tiger Fred

75
00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:52.800
or Xander.

76
00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:00.900
We'll have to play that way.
