00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
The stroke is tick-tacked toe and it's the help you work on your sequencing while you're

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
practicing impact. So it kind of breaks down the movement of how we're going to get from

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
the top of this weighing or from the nine to position to impact and into the follow-through

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
or the three position. So I've got a golf ball and an alignment stick. Basically what I'm

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
going to do is I'm going to put a reference line on the ground that's going to help me

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000
organize myself visually. I want it to be at about a 30 degree angle roughly in line with my

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
or from a point in line with my left foot. So in order to do that I'm going to put a golf

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
club on the ground. This gives me perpendicular to my target line which is now 90 degrees.

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Then I'm going to take a stick and I'm going to put it at about a 30 degree angle.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
So something kind of off like that even with about my left foot.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Now tick-tacked toe is essentially this alignment, alignment stick is where I'm trying to get to when

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
I get to impact. So it impact visually for me it feels like my lower body is pointed out there.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
My sternum or my chest is pointed out there and even though my shoulders are still relatively

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
square to the target line my hands are pointed out there. So tick-tacked toe is a fun little

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,000
9 to 3 drill where you can basically work on getting lower body pointed upper body pointed arms pointed

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000
and helps you exaggerate this sequencing of lower body core arms, lower body core arms.

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
So I'll demonstrate a couple of facing the net and you can see a couple of different ways that we can use it.

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:47,000
So let me get these. So now I'm going to visualize

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
or actually we'll make it easier for you guys. So we'll put this back down at about that 30 degree angle.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
So my goal is from the top of the swing I'm going to get lower body pointed at that line

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:08,000
then bottom of sternum or chest pointed at that line. So lower body chest and then hands and arms.

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
So it'll look something like this. You can do it a couple different ways. You can either do it

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
in a no stop just continuous motion version which would be kind of a 9 to 3.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Like so or you can do it in a stop motion. So basically you're going to take that same setup.

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000
You're going to go to 9 to 3. You're going to do tick-tack toe. And anytime you're doing the

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
stop motions it's going to be a little bit harder to hit it solidly but if you're in good position

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
generally you'll be able to get pretty close. So we'll do one of the one more of those.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000
So we're going to go 9 position tick-tack toe. That was a little better.

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Now it's very common when you're doing this drill and one of the things I want you to watch for

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
is for the ball to go off to the right. If you're used to having impact

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
the straight in front of you like so and you start getting more open. I don't know if you can see

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000
that but that automatically gets the club pointing a little bit off to the right. So this helps you

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,000
focus on how you have to have that motorcycle already done by the time you get to this 9 position.

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
This is your first time going through the impact section. The motorcycle will come into transition

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:36,000
and be emphasized in the release. So it's going to be let's do that motorcycle now tick-tack toe.

00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And you'll notice that'll go a little bit straighter and tend to be a little bit more crisp

00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
with contact. So this is a great drill for at home working on the sequencing or on the range working

00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000
on the sequencing. Once you have a pretty good feeling of this lower body core arm sequencing

00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:03,000
you can take little bigger swings and work your way up to where you're taking them full.
