This version of the whoosh drill uses some extra auditory feedback. Place an object, like a roll of tape, TP roll, or small piece of a pool noodle on the club, below the grip, so that it can slide down the shaft as you swing. Try and get the object to click after impact to help prevent early arm activation.

This drill is whoosh with a click so the woosh
1
00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:12.300
drills or the woosh series is is getting a
2
00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:14.300
sequencing where you're
3
00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:17.200
leading with your lower body and delaying your upper body
4
00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:20.500
and that tends to create more of this.
5
00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:23.700
Whoosh where you'll hear auditorily you'll
6
00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:26.200
hear the release of the club or the
7
00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:29.200
club passing through the air out on the opposite side of
8
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:33.400
the golf ball as opposed to if you're early with your arms, you'll
9
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:35.100
tend to hear the whoosh.
10
00:00:35.900 --> 00:00:38.700
Start back here or even down at the bottom
11
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.400
if it's not too bad, but you'll typically hear it much earlier.
12
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:44.800
So some people can hear the
13
00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:48.900
whoosh and that really helps with getting sequencing more lower
14
00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:52.400
body dominance so you can get it later. But sometimes
15
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:54.500
you need a little extra feedback. So what we've
16
00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:57.700
got here a couple different objects, I'll show you how they work. But basically
17
00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:01.200
what we're gonna try to do is we're gonna put an object on
18
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.500
the shaft so that when I whoosh it
19
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:06.400
I'm gonna get some feedback of the The Click
20
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.500
now with the pool noodle. It's not gonna click but we've got
21
00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:13.400
a couple different options here. So here I've got a toilet paper
22
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.200
roll that has been wrapped with plastic and
23
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.100
duct tape. And so
24
00:01:19.100 --> 00:01:23.500
What I can do with this one is I'm going to basically bring it to the end
25
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.500
of the grip and then as I
26
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:26.000
release.
27
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.300
You'll hear and you'll feel if you
28
00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:34.000
do it on your own. You'll feel the club catching
29
00:01:33.100 --> 00:01:36.700
up or the whoosh happening down out
30
00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:39.200
through here as opposed to if I was to get really
31
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.400
early there it clicked before the club reached
32
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.200
the bottom of the Swing. So basically trying to get
33
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.600
it to feel like it stays in contact longer
34
00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:51.200
will really help you get your lower body going.
35
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.900
So this is toilet paper roll with plastic cover or
36
00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:57.200
just duct tape. You just need to reinforce it
37
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.800
because the toilet paper roll by itself is pretty light and it
38
00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:03.700
gets beaten up pretty quickly. Next. We
39
00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:06.100
have a roll of electrical tape and you can
40
00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:09.400
if you zoom in on that you can see that it's pretty beat
41
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.300
up on the inside because I haven't reinforced it. That's what would
42
00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:15.400
happen to the toilet paper roll. And ultimately what will
43
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.200
happen to a tape roll. If you don't put some reinforcement
44
00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:21.200
whether it's plastic or or some tape
45
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.300
So now this has a little
46
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:25.800
bit more.
47
00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:31.500
Of a like a more aggressive
48
00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:34.400
timing to it that one just feels
49
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.100
a little bit more gradual this one.
50
00:02:37.100 --> 00:02:40.300
Like you feel a lot more pull because the
51
00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:44.100
the weight is a little bit more like consolidated to
52
00:02:43.100 --> 00:02:46.100
this smaller area instead of spread out over the
53
00:02:46.100 --> 00:02:48.200
size of a toilet paper roll. So
54
00:02:49.700 --> 00:02:52.500
The downside to this is you saw on that one. I did
55
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:55.000
a pretty good job, but the paper kind of
56
00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:58.500
stuck to the the grip. So I tend to
57
00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:02.400
like to put a little bit of plastic or tape on
58
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.100
the inside so that it doesn't have too
59
00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:08.300
much friction and it doesn't get stuck to the
60
00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:12.200
grip because then you could be training even a
61
00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:14.200
later later release like you wouldn't
62
00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:16.800
get really good feedback. So we've got that right there.
63
00:03:19.100 --> 00:03:22.300
Stuck a little bit. So now I'll grip it all the way up. So it's at
64
00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:22.600
the steel.
65
00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:26.200
And there now I can get a little bit better feedback.
66
00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:30.700
So you have to know how to be flexible and be able to adapt these
67
00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:33.200
things a little bit. So if I choke up to the steel, then I
68
00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:36.000
don't have to worry about it getting stuck on the grip.
69
00:03:37.100 --> 00:03:40.500
Okay, so that's a tape roll. You can use duct tape
70
00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:43.100
or electrical tape. They work pretty well. And then
71
00:03:43.100 --> 00:03:46.200
the last option is the pool noodle. So I've cut
72
00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:49.300
a pool noodle, but it won't fit all the way over the
73
00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:52.400
grip. So I've also sliced it so that I can basically
74
00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:56.700
Put it over the grip just like so now it's gonna it's gonna
75
00:03:56.700 --> 00:04:00.000
slide but it's gonna slide a lot slower. I'm
76
00:03:59.100 --> 00:04:02.400
gonna have the same friction problem that
77
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.300
I have with the electrical tape,
78
00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:08.300
so I'm probably going to choke all the way up to
79
00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:11.100
the grip so that it's just resting on the
80
00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:14.800
steel the one that seems to be the because it's
81
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.300
the biggest seems to be the least affected by
82
00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:20.800
the grip is the toilet paper roll with plastic on the
83
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.700
inside and duct tape on the outside. Okay. So
84
00:04:23.700 --> 00:04:26.200
now if I'm choking up there I can get that
85
00:04:26.200 --> 00:04:29.300
same pattern where I'm gonna feel like I rotate my lower body
86
00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:31.900
get into this kind of checkpoint here.
87
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.300
And release it and like I said, this one will feel.
88
00:04:36.200 --> 00:04:37.300
the most gradual
89
00:04:38.200 --> 00:04:38.800
like I'm getting
90
00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:43.300
the The Click is kind of slower but out
91
00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:43.700
in front.
92
00:04:44.700 --> 00:04:47.300
Now one of the common questions that I get is
93
00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:50.000
well, how does this relate to ulnar deviation? Because I feel
94
00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:53.600
like if I started to owner deviate it would leave
95
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.500
but you can see that older deviation is fairly gradual compared
96
00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:01.300
to if I was the due like a a really
97
00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:03.500
dramatic owner deviation from
98
00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:04.300
the lead wrist.
99
00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:08.700
And if you recall from the trail rest
100
00:05:08.700 --> 00:05:11.800
this movement here is more of a
101
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.000
supination or a rotation of the
102
00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:17.500
form rather than a pure ulnar deviation. That's more of an older deviation
103
00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:20.600
of that lead risk. So as I do that movement you
104
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:20.900
can see
105
00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:25.500
yes, it'll start to move but as long as I'm going with
106
00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:28.500
my body, it doesn't go flying out
107
00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:31.000
what really causes it to go flying out is if I
108
00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:34.100
lose this flexion and if I lose that extension of
109
00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:37.100
the arm, or if I create some straightening or extending of
110
00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:39.500
that arm really quickly you can see
111
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.400
With the cast it's all the way stuck on
112
00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:48.100
the end of the club as I'm coming through where if
113
00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:50.100
I have a little bit better sequencing.
114
00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:54.600
It feels like it's getting caught up
115
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.200
or hitting the club head as it's going through.
116
00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:01.600
Now you can we're ground
117
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.500
contact into this field. It's a
118
00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:07.400
little awkward because sometimes if it
119
00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:10.400
gets all the way down there and you hit it close to the heel you you can
120
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:13.500
actually make contact with the pool noodle
121
00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:15.300
and the ball will go nowhere but
122
00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:19.600
As far as using it as a feedback device,
123
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.400
I'm going to grip up normal. Now. I'm running the risk of this friction
124
00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:25.200
thing getting in place. But I like this the
125
00:06:25.200 --> 00:06:28.700
best with the pool noodle because a it'll tend to stay there
126
00:06:28.700 --> 00:06:31.300
a little bit better than the other two the other
127
00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:34.200
two you have to really bring it back and then hold
128
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.100
To let it reset I'll demonstrate one of those here in a second. But with
129
00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:41.400
this one I will be able to
130
00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:47.700
make a swing where it actually stays and
131
00:06:47.700 --> 00:06:50.200
then I can feel it go down and I can still make relatively good
132
00:06:50.200 --> 00:06:53.700
contact. So the narrow pool noodle on the
133
00:06:53.700 --> 00:06:55.400
golf ball. Let's see how this goes.
134
00:06:58.900 --> 00:06:59.200
so there
135
00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:03.200
curious to see what that looks like on video is a good strike give it ahead
136
00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:06.500
of the golf ball decent. Whoosh and we'll
137
00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:09.700
be able to see how well the timing plays out feeling wise
138
00:07:09.700 --> 00:07:12.300
it like I hit the ball just before this hit the end
139
00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:12.500
of it.
140
00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:17.800
Let's see what this feels like with the with the reinforced toilet
141
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:18.400
paper roll.
142
00:07:18.900 --> 00:07:21.200
Good thing about the toilet paper roll. It's big enough that it
143
00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:24.900
can fit on this side. But again here is gonna be the challenge
144
00:07:24.900 --> 00:07:27.300
for this toilet paper roll. I'm gonna have to do more of
145
00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:30.500
a hit from the top because if I just swing
146
00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:33.400
it, you can see that it doesn't really come down.
147
00:07:33.400 --> 00:07:36.300
There's too much force propelling it out into the
148
00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:39.100
club head. So I'm going to go up
149
00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:39.600
to the top.
150
00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:42.000
Let it come down and collect.
151
00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:46.400
And then I'm gonna do a hit from the top trying to feel like I hit the golf ball
152
00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:49.100
before this hits the club. Let's try that one
153
00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:50.300
more time so we can be
154
00:07:50.900 --> 00:07:53.200
an interesting combination for a hit
155
00:07:53.200 --> 00:07:56.300
from the top but it's not one that you can do in a real swing the way you can
156
00:07:56.300 --> 00:07:57.100
with the pool noodle.
157
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:00.500
So hit from the top one more time.
158
00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:03.200
Let it collect.
159
00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:08.500
For some of you letting it gonna letting it collect
160
00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:11.200
is gonna feel like if you're it's gonna
161
00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:12.300
feel like the swing took.
162
00:08:13.400 --> 00:08:16.800
10 seconds, like it's gonna feel like you're waiting there forever, especially
163
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.000
if you have more of an armed dominant pull, so that's one of the
164
00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:22.200
added benefits. So if you're working on
165
00:08:22.200 --> 00:08:25.100
whoosh or sequencing getting your lower body involved, you can use
166
00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:29.300
a little bit of feedback whether it's the plastic the foam
167
00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:31.300
or the electrical tape roll.
168
00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:34.700
They all help give you a little bit of extra feedback for
169
00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:37.500
getting that later release good shaft
170
00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:40.800
lean good sequencing some of the traits that help build your flat
171
