This drill is rope pivot poles.

1
00:00:07.075 --> 00:00:09.815
Um, so what we're gonna do here is we're gonna use a rope

2
00:00:09.915 --> 00:00:13.055
to help, um, create a little bit of force to help us

3
00:00:13.085 --> 00:00:14.095
with our pivot,

4
00:00:14.095 --> 00:00:16.495
especially blending into a good bracing position.

5
00:00:16.875 --> 00:00:19.575
Um, so I've got a rope here, um,

6
00:00:19.835 --> 00:00:23.015
and it's just wrapped around a, an object that'll hold it.

7
00:00:23.015 --> 00:00:25.535
Uh, you can tie it around a sofa, um,

8
00:00:25.795 --> 00:00:27.855
or if you're doing it outside on the range.

9
00:00:28.235 --> 00:00:30.975
Um, the, the second option is you take an alignment

10
00:00:30.985 --> 00:00:32.175
stick and you put it in the ground.

11
00:00:32.435 --> 00:00:33.975
Now, I, I won't be able to pull as hard,

12
00:00:33.995 --> 00:00:37.415
but really the goal of this drill is not really to pull

13
00:00:37.475 --> 00:00:39.175
as hard as you can, um,

14
00:00:39.275 --> 00:00:43.095
but rather just to add a little bit of, of pull resistance,

15
00:00:43.475 --> 00:00:47.935
um, to help kind of, uh, channel what the direction

16
00:00:47.935 --> 00:00:48.975
that you're gonna be applying force

17
00:00:48.995 --> 00:00:50.175
to the club is gonna feel like.

18
00:00:50.475 --> 00:00:55.015
Um, so I'll move this and bring this kind in front of us.

19
00:00:56.675 --> 00:01:01.495
So the, the main focus here we're going to get

20
00:01:01.795 --> 00:01:03.135
so that we have some tension in it.

21
00:01:03.135 --> 00:01:05.095
So we're gonna get it so that it would be kind

22
00:01:05.095 --> 00:01:07.215
of on a rough angle of the shaft lane.

23
00:01:07.395 --> 00:01:11.895
Um, uh, and then what we're going to do is quite simply,

24
00:01:11.905 --> 00:01:15.055
we're going to pull one, one end of the rope like this,

25
00:01:15.395 --> 00:01:18.135
but I'm gonna try to do it without using my arms.

26
00:01:18.155 --> 00:01:20.775
So without bending my arms, keeping my arms pretty straight,

27
00:01:21.195 --> 00:01:24.895
I'm gonna feel like my right side opens up

28
00:01:24.915 --> 00:01:27.095
and my right shoulder, uh, pulls back

29
00:01:27.155 --> 00:01:28.415
as my left side goes down.

30
00:01:28.595 --> 00:01:30.535
And then this is the really important one.

31
00:01:30.635 --> 00:01:32.575
On the way through, I'm going

32
00:01:32.575 --> 00:01:35.415
to feel like my left side pulls outta the way.

33
00:01:35.415 --> 00:01:36.855
The left arm stays pretty straight

34
00:01:37.115 --> 00:01:38.535
and the right shoulder goes down.

35
00:01:38.835 --> 00:01:42.055
So in motion it'll kinda look more like this.

36
00:01:42.275 --> 00:01:46.775
And I can do it like a little bit more dynamically kind

37
00:01:46.775 --> 00:01:49.775
of feeling, almost like I'm getting a little bit explosive.

38
00:01:49.775 --> 00:01:52.535
But notice I'm doing it from the body.

39
00:01:52.675 --> 00:01:55.295
I'm not really pulling very hard with the arms.

40
00:01:55.635 --> 00:01:57.495
That's part of the goal of this drill is

41
00:01:57.495 --> 00:01:58.935
to feel like the arms are soft

42
00:01:58.935 --> 00:02:00.775
and just a continuation of this rope

43
00:02:01.355 --> 00:02:04.455
and that I'm rotating my body, um,

44
00:02:04.635 --> 00:02:06.135
on an angle down towards the golf

45
00:02:06.135 --> 00:02:07.255
wall, wall staying fairly centered.

46
00:02:07.365 --> 00:02:11.375
That kind of blends, um, the, the turns and tilt.

47
00:02:11.875 --> 00:02:14.895
And if I do it correctly, this will give me a feeling

48
00:02:14.995 --> 00:02:18.575
of using more of my, my core, um,

49
00:02:18.675 --> 00:02:20.495
and less of my shoulder girdles.

50
00:02:20.715 --> 00:02:22.175
So I really wanna make sure

51
00:02:22.175 --> 00:02:25.375
that I'm not spinning my upper body on top of my lower body,

52
00:02:25.395 --> 00:02:27.495
but rather my lower body

53
00:02:27.955 --> 00:02:31.775
and my bottom ribs, let's say from about chest down, um,

54
00:02:32.235 --> 00:02:33.575
is controlling this motion.

55
00:02:34.875 --> 00:02:38.295
So I'll use this in concert with a couple other pivot drills

56
00:02:38.435 --> 00:02:40.135
to help people feel, um,

57
00:02:40.135 --> 00:02:43.655
getting into a really good bracing position where I'm here.

58
00:02:43.795 --> 00:02:46.655
And then I would drop it and basically bring the arms out.

59
00:02:47.005 --> 00:02:48.495
This is where I want to be,

60
00:02:48.495 --> 00:02:50.575
where I've got a little bit of side crunch.

61
00:02:50.635 --> 00:02:53.575
So I'm, I'm in a certain kind of spine angle.

62
00:02:54.035 --> 00:02:56.375
My, my legs and my core have lifted,

63
00:02:56.475 --> 00:02:58.375
but my upper body has stayed down.

64
00:02:58.795 --> 00:03:02.005
Um, one question that frequently gets asked on the site is,

65
00:03:02.025 --> 00:03:04.805
how can I have my lower body going up

66
00:03:05.065 --> 00:03:07.085
and my upper body staying down?

67
00:03:07.465 --> 00:03:11.605
Um, that's, if I'm kind of blending things through my spine,

68
00:03:12.025 --> 00:03:15.525
uh, correctly, then I won't just be standing up, uh,

69
00:03:15.525 --> 00:03:16.605
with my upper body,

70
00:03:17.165 --> 00:03:19.005
although lift will be happening more from my

71
00:03:19.005 --> 00:03:20.245
core and my legs.

72
00:03:20.705 --> 00:03:25.605
So once I've done this a few times, then I've got a feeling

73
00:03:25.605 --> 00:03:26.885
that I can kinda work with.

74
00:03:27.505 --> 00:03:29.685
I'm gonna start with of course, nine to threes.

75
00:03:30.145 --> 00:03:32.045
And basically, actually, I might even just start

76
00:03:32.045 --> 00:03:34.645
with a push ball drill where I feel like, okay,

77
00:03:34.645 --> 00:03:36.085
there's my hands on the ropes.

78
00:03:37.025 --> 00:03:40.085
I'm going to basically do that motion

79
00:03:41.375 --> 00:03:44.485
where I'm gonna get into a good impact position,

80
00:03:44.705 --> 00:03:48.165
and now I'm just gonna feel like I use my body.

81
00:03:48.165 --> 00:03:49.205
And that felt like the club,

82
00:03:49.265 --> 00:03:51.205
the ball really stuck to the club.

83
00:03:51.625 --> 00:03:55.445
Um, 'cause I wasn't using my, my arms to do the push ball.

84
00:03:55.525 --> 00:03:58.165
I was doing more of my, my legs and my core.

85
00:03:58.505 --> 00:04:02.245
Um, but then I would progress it into nine to threes, up

86
00:04:02.245 --> 00:04:04.405
to 10 to two, and into full swings.

87
00:04:04.585 --> 00:04:07.045
The only trick is on a fuller swing,

88
00:04:08.555 --> 00:04:11.525
like you can see right here, I'm a little bit limited.

89
00:04:11.765 --> 00:04:16.165
I wouldn't make it all the way up to the top of the swing.

90
00:04:16.245 --> 00:04:17.605
I would run out of rope room.

91
00:04:17.905 --> 00:04:22.485
Um, so on a four swing, I have to have a, a little bit of a,

92
00:04:22.865 --> 00:04:25.485
of a loading or waiting.

93
00:04:25.705 --> 00:04:28.725
And then I would feel like the, the rope pull happens during

94
00:04:28.755 --> 00:04:31.125
that second half of the noun swing.

95
00:04:32.915 --> 00:04:36.245
Okay, so we got that timing in that feel.

96
00:04:37.755 --> 00:04:41.755
Now we're gonna see if we can Apply it in a swing.

97
00:04:48.515 --> 00:04:51.575
Pretty good like that. Um, so if you're struggling

98
00:04:51.575 --> 00:04:54.375
with either too much upper body dominance

99
00:04:54.375 --> 00:04:57.255
or too much lateral movement, um, too much up

100
00:04:57.255 --> 00:04:59.535
and down movement, this, uh, this pivot drill,

101
00:04:59.535 --> 00:05:01.135
using a rope can be really helpful

102
00:05:01.235 --> 00:05:04.455
for dialing in a little bit more dynamic center pivot.
