You know, on my YouTube channel, I’ve got a lot of things about going indoors and using a doorway. To get impact. Or putting your club against a wall to get impact. All those are good. But let’s say
You’re out in the middle of the mall, and you want to make a scene. What if you pretended to have the club with you. And you put the club right here in your pocket. And all you did was turn,
This is what it looked like. I’m gonna put this in my pocket. And then I’m going to turn. Does that not look like impact? That’s literally all impact is. Is keeping your hands a little closer to you. A little bit lower. Which is a representative of hey, can I stick my hands in
My pocket? Now leaving everything there. Let me just rotate forward into my front heel into this front left heel. Unknown Speaker 1:11 That gets me to impact. What is this going to help you with? First off sequencing. So many of you use
Your arms to get into that impact position. Leaving lower body stagnant. This forces that lower body to make that rotation to you can see forward shaft lean. We’re artificially setting it up here. And then as you rotate, you have no other position to be in but forward shaft lean.
Number 3, rotating into that heel. I can’t tell you how many times I work with clients who are up on their toes and that prevents the rotation. The only way you’re going to rotate in that position
Is to get to that back heel. 3 really key things with a very simple, yet effective impact drill, hands in the pocket, rotate forward. If you’ve got a question about this drill or any of the
