In this drill circuit video, I walk you through a simple series of drills to help you chuck the pieces of the setting the club into one pattern.

- Right Shoulder Flexibility
- Club in the Bottom of the Sternum

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
In this drill circuit video, we're going to talk about setting the club.
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So this is the second phase, or completing the backswing.
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
The drills that we're going to do in this circuit are going to be the backswing shoulder
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
plane, and we're going to do the jazzy Jeff move, and then we're going to look at the
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
right shoulder flexibility.
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
And we're going to do one drill for the takeaway, look at the club in the bottom of the
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
sternum, and then we'll do a drill of blending the transition into the setting the club,
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
or the takeaway into setting the club.
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So first one we're going to do is backswing shoulder plane.
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
So I'm going to take the club, place it across my shoulders, and I'm going to make a full
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
turn trying to point this club somewhere down towards the golf ball.
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
This just gives my eyes a visual as to how I'm going to look and how it's going to feel
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
in my body when I make my full shoulder turn or make my full pivot kind of like so.
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Next one we're going to do is the right arm jazzy Jeff, which is basically give the guy
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:07,000
the high five it's going to come up in front of you out like so, up and out, up and out.
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Up and out.
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So now I'm going to try combining those two, so I'm going to do backswing shoulder plane,
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
up and out backswing shoulder plane, jazzy Jeff.
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Now holding this position, I'm going to bring my left arm across, okay, that's where
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I want to kind of feel.
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
And that feels like it's a little bit more wider compared to what I was just doing when
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
I was warming up.
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
That's great.
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
So then we've got to look at blending the two or let's first look at the right shoulder
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
flexibility.
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:43,000
So the more that I can rotate this way, like so, the more that that shoulder is going
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
to allow me to stay in the posture.
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
If my arm only goes to here, then during this jazzy Jeff move, it's going to feel like
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
my shoulder is a little bit more back like so.
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
But ideally, you're going to let this rotate as if we were doing the jazzy Jeff move.
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
So now let's blend it to.
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
So we're going to do a couple just to remind, okay, this is where the jazzy Jeff is going
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
to start.
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
So I'm going to go to here, jazzy Jeff.
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
I'm going to go to here, jazzy Jeff.
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Now I'm going to grip it and I'm going to try to blend those two movements together.
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Good.
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Now, like, because I was focusing so much on my arms, I lost a little bit.
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
That was a better shoulder plane.
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:32,000
So by practicing these moves and then stepping up and taking a swing, hit a ball, you can
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
give your brain a whole lot of information and have quality repetition.
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Instead of just standing there and beating ball after ball, where your brain is not actually
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
going off.
