00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
The drill is at home setup practice.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Now, setup practice is because you're not actually hitting golf ball, the easiest one to do

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
at home because obviously you can do pretty much the exact same drills that you would do

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
on the range.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
At home, the only problem is you're not going to be able to hit golf balls.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Because you're not going to be able to hit golf balls, you're going to get bored.

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
So, I recommend that you do these in short intense practice sessions.

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
For example, if you're watching a football game or if you're watching a football game by yourself,

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
you're going to obviously practice these.

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
If you're watching with buddies, I recommend you don't.

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
You'll probably get made fun of.

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
But tying it to some type of habit.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
So every time a commercial comes up, every time I have to go to the restroom, every time

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
I have to go get another beer.

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Any of those things can be a great trigger for, okay, I'm going to do five reps or

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
ten reps focusing on whatever issue I'm working on.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
So, the biggest one for setup is working on this hip hinge.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Now, I have a bunch of videos on how to do that.

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So I'm not going to go into great detail there.

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:17,000
But even just practicing five repetitions or so of feeling my hips going through this

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
motion and not doing it from my spine will help reinforce when I get into my setup

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
posture with an actual golf ball there.

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000
The one that's the biggest is if you are making any type of grip change, this one is

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
almost easier to practice at home.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
For a while when I was working on my grip, when I was playing mostly high school college,

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I would sit, I would have a club next to the couch so that when I was playing or when

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
I was watching TV, I could take my grip.

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
And I got to the point where I could take my grip.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
So here eyes closed, just feeling the weight and we'll see it's been a little less than

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
I did this, not too bad.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So just feeling the weight and getting the club in the right position in my hands.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So the things you can focus on in setup are the hip hinge, the arms being more relaxed

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
or kind of hanging, getting used to specific alignments.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
If you're going to do the alignment version, I recommend you put sticks on the ground or

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
use tape on the ground but something to give you a little bit of feedback and then practicing

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
your grip.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
The other ones you can work on would be feeling your weight distribution or feeling your

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
pressure distribution.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
So if I'm going to hit an iron, getting used to being a little bit more on my left foot,

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
if I'm going to hit a driver, getting a little bit more used on the right foot.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
So some simple things you can do at home to work on setup, like I said, setup is the easiest

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
one to practice at home.

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
So there's really no excuses for not having a tour level setup.
