00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
In this drill circuit video, we're going to work on takeaway.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So four exercises that we're going to do are four drills that we're going to do to kind

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
of give our brain different levels of information about the takeaway.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
We're going to do the windmill.

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
We're going to do the turning grab.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
We're going to do the club in the bottom of the sternum and then we're going to do the

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
right shoulder pull.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
So first one we're going to do is windmill is without a club.

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
So I'm going to have an object ball just for visual consistency.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
I'm going to get in my good setup position.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Arms are going to go out to the sides and I'm going to practice making some turns

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,000
back and forth, feeling my body turns so that these arms are extensions of my shoulders

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
and they would roughly be pointed somewhere out in the golf ball within a few feet of it.

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Now I can practice just doing the backswing kind of like so.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
So this one helps cure if I was to be standing up.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Good.

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Now we're going to bring the arms in the play and I've got my yoga block which I'm

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
going to use as my medicine ball if I was doing the turning grip.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So I've got the yoga block about a hands or an arms full reach away.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
I'm going to get in my good setup posture and then I'm going to feel like I do the windmill

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
and my hands would touch the yoga block.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
I can pick it up and grab it.

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Now that yoga block is roughly over my feet or my target line over my feet.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
So it's not behind me way out in front.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
It's kind of right in the slot where I would want it.

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
So now I'm going to do the windmill movement, move my can touch like so.

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Windmill movement, touch like so.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So 4 or 5 up to 10 repetitions.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Now we're going to do the club in the sternum.

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
This just feels like that one piece take away just like I grabbed that yoga block.

00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
That goes there.

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
One more.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
So now I'm getting this feeling in my core of what this one piece take away is going

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
to be like.

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So now I'm going to set up to the ball and I'm going to try to recreate that feeling

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000
of this right side kind of turning out of the way as the left side rotates towards.

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So this is the right shoulder pull like so.

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
The pull will help create this opening in this space in this side as opposed to if you're

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
focusing more on that left arm push.

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
I tend to find the most players tend to stay in this flexion or stay bent over.

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
They'll stay bent over like so as they go in this takeaway.

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
As opposed to if I recreate what we were just doing there, you can see this right side

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
just start to get out of the way, which is the proper turning for that takeaway.

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
So there's a quick little drill circuit video.

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
You could then hit balls feeling like you go from that takeaway through the rest of the

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
swing or you could just stop and do 9 to 3 to kind of work and really ingrain that proper

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
takeaway.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
That proper one piece take away will help load the sequencing for the transition in the

00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,000
downswing.
