00:00So when that pressure really gets into that toe early in the right foot, does that stall your hip turn?

00:06Yeah, you don't have any leverage to push off, right?

00:09So that feeling I need to have initially off the ball is almost that the weight is more in the middle of my foot.

00:16So I have room to get into my heel.

00:19See, and I think this drill would help you.

00:21Hold on one second. I'm going to use a stick here.

00:24Watch. We'll do this.

00:26And if I put this on the ground...

00:28Now put your arches right in the middle of it, okay?

00:32So now you know, it's a little bit of an uneven.

00:35Now make a back swing. You want to feel the pressure as you turn your chest,

00:40wind straight down that stick so you can feel where it is, right?

00:44Now from that, go to the top.

00:46Now from there, just push off your right foot straight down that stick.

00:52Feel that?

00:53Yeah.

00:55Push straight down that...

00:57Yeah, that's sweet.

01:07You know, I saw Aaron Rye recently doing this drill, and he's a fantastic ball striker.

01:13And I couldn't figure out exactly what he was trying to accomplish with putting a stick in the middle of your feet.

01:19And I asked his caddy, and he said that he was working on just basic balance points.

01:24And now it kind of makes sense, because I really do feel that in the middle of my foot,

01:29I'm able to differentiate between when I'm getting too much into my toes right from the get-go.

01:36That's not 60%. I'm starting to feel pretty good.

01:45I'm kind of sending it a little bit.

01:47Wow, that looked amazing in that halfway down position in the downswing.

02:06My face looks so...

02:08I love that.

02:10Right?

02:10Club head's on top of the plane.

02:14Hips are getting wound better.

02:15And here's what I like.

02:17Look at the pressure in the whole foot.

02:19Uh-huh.

02:20Versus the first video.

02:21Look at everything's covered.

02:23Wow.

02:23Look at that.

02:24So that's...

02:25That was what I was feeling.

02:27Like, super toe heavy.

02:29And you just look...

02:31You just look at how much more you're pushing into the ground there.

02:36Uh-huh.

02:36Right?

02:37And then you look here how the pressure out of the top shoots a little more to the toe,

02:41whereas here it goes more straight across.

02:44Yep.

02:45Right?

02:45And I think for you, that's a big, big deal.

02:48What does that do to the handle when you go push more towards your front toes sooner in your downswing?

02:54Does it make you have to back up?

02:55Yeah, I think if you...

02:56So if you go too much to the toe, you know, if you get out into your toes,

03:01I mean, I don't think you've got leverage to push against the ground.

03:04And I think we start going that way.

03:06Mm-hmm.

03:07Whereas I think if you're wound into this right foot, then you're able to push off of it.

03:13And as I push off this foot, it makes my left hip go around.

03:17And then I can release my upper body green.

03:20Which is what you always did great.

03:22It's like, great, and you covered it with the trunk.

03:24Yes.

03:24I love this drill, though, with the club within, between my feet.

03:35I'd still, like, want to...

03:36I'll show you one more drill to help you with your trunk.

03:39Yep.

03:39So if you take...

03:41Pull this tight across your chest.

03:44There you go.

03:45Now, you want to just wind your rib cage back over your right,

03:50and you feel that pressure go down the slit.

03:52Feel that.

03:54Go back and suck.

03:55Like, keep this knee a hair climber.

03:57There you go.

03:58You feel that?

03:59Mm-hmm.

03:59I think that was probably the best one.

04:08I think that was probably the best one.

04:10I think that was probably the best one.

04:12I think that was probably the best one.
