Hey guys Eric agoro here with performance golf to my right the Hall of Famer Mr Rick Smith Rick thanks for being out here great see you appreciate pump for today’s video we got a really cool drill might be a little weird for some of you at first but works really

Really good we’re talking how to hit the ball solid compressing your irons and a drill you can use that’s really simple to get the feels we’re all looking for down through uh let’s say to and through the ball through impact um so Rick I saw

You do a video with this drill and again it’s something I haven’t really spent a lot of time with so I’m curious myself um this cross-handed drill can you kind of walk us through how that works and the benefits of it it does four great

Things and and I’m a field guy I’m a field player I’m a field teacher so I like creating fields that help me to develop a swing that is sound yeah and doesn’t have a lot of thought to it right so I think don’t we all want that

Yeah all right so Rick can you hop up to the ball and show us this way if you could show us aiming this way just to see the first benefit of feeling left hand lower this way cross-handed normally obviously left hand’s on top right hand’s here what happens

Immediately the first move off the ball feels less of that think about that right yeah okay and then when you get to here and you get to the top look at how straight my lead arm is and you can see that I’m feeling great width here which

Most people go to the top they’re like this and they have no feeling of that so not only is it great here but it’s great at the top now great benefit here we go yeah is I start down and move my weight and shift to the left before I start

Turning where is my right elbow it’s here back can FR yeah the thrower goes like this right arm is out here yes so this feel is like wait I’m feeling wide and I’m feeling this that’s the opposite of the throw yeah love so here I go back

Here I I start to work down wow that feels really good now yeah as I start to get the impact what’s this benefit well I’ve got a ton of lean y but look at my right wrist my right wrist is here and that’s the pressure that you see with

Great players yeah the Palm’s pushing down if you’re a slicer scooper High weak you’re this way your hand looks like this yeah and the wrist is in the wrong spot so it’s killing all these birds with really one stone and it’s as good as it get I would like you to keep

Going but I have to try this let me hop in spot absolutely left hand Criss C okay so this this would be my normal grip so we’re saying just pull my trail hand up put my lead hand underneath it yes and just like baseball style yeah

Okay and you don’t have to hit balls you know you you’re just going to get a sense and feel notice the face gosh I didn’t even think about the takeaway do it feel amazing yeah it’s not rolling off yeah it’s great there it’s great at the top gosh that really helps okay I

Wasn’t even thinking about that but that really helps me here and then from here to the top look at your width big width so it keeps that lead arm straight of the right arm kind of sort of pushed away it does now watch it down look at

The elbow where is it elbow’s in front it’s in front of your body shaft is like it’s good yeah and then as I’m coming through here I assume you know cuz I can see a lot of people coming through and be like right face is open look at the

Back of the hand squaring up but look at your right wrist yeah and from face on look at the lean that you have naturally but look at this right wrist position here Eric because nobody’s there the great ones they’re all there the greatest C players in the world they’re

All there that’s what they look like if someone’s struggling with ball striking they probably don’t hit any for of those but they’re certainly not into those same looks to there and there they’re not even close you said they’re kind of this way too much throw so split hand

Grip and when they’re doing this in the beginning Rick kind of going slow through the positions feel yes and then and then turning it into more of a motion I would assume as we go yeah and you don’t have to hit balls you know you saw Ricky Fowler hit cross-handed stuff

And he was ripping it I I suggest for the common golfer though just to go to just post impact and stop and then go back up and go there again that’s the feel yeah and then do it again going back and go right to there and you’re

Done cuz you’re going to scoop if you don’t some of the feels I had like if I was just like this is my first time doing it which it is what I feel compared to normal I wasn’t expecting the takeaway differences so that’s kind of surprised me a little bit there’s no

Roll there’s no roll so I I feel when I’m doing that beautiful my lead arm is sort of like almost like my hands arms working away from the target more than it normally would maybe I’m more this way that’s right so that feels a little bit different than normal I also really

Notice uh the trail arm piece it’s folded and close to the body most people are making the mistake trying to get the elbow in going back and then they get wider on the way down which is the long way to do it so I feel a little bit more

Kind of width here beautiful I feel the right wrist being bent back with a little bit of squaring of the face through impact and don’t you feel that right wrist almost smashing powerful it’s smashing this way and it’s delofting not adding Loft that’s what the great iron players do let me strike

One here we a little eight iron out you feel that feeling yep feel what did and then feel feel one good and then go to your normal grip and hit it okay okay feel those things happening give me the cross sand give me the Rick Juju

Here that’s solid i h that very good that was my best one of the day that was really solid look at this divot up here I mean it started 3 4 Ines past the ball did you feel your right wrist almost pressuring this way I totally felt my

Right wrist pressuring forward I also not to be be a broken record there I really feel like the the most noticeable thing for me is this takeaway feel like I got the Y you got you got a first y yeah so I’m more here yeah that’s gorgeous and then

You’re feeling all the right stuff in transition you got width and then it Narrows naturally just with your weight Mo moving left the right elbow working in the side the wrist angles through the ball too that feels really good let me try one more so full swing eight Iron same

Feels yeah that was really solid too solid it’s great swing gosh I like those and that’s something that like you know gosh golf there’s so many drills and feels and like Rick mentioned you can even do this without a club right you can do this without hitting

The ball you do crossarm you take the right hand underneath the left and you do this and you talk about flexibility even if you don’t feel it in your swing you’re you’re getting a great stretch you’re going walking through an airport like this white hand under you turn back

Look at the stretch and come back to impact you can do it without hitting balls I like which I love cuz I don’t have time to hit a lot of balls yeah and I think a lot of them feel the same way they’re like how can I get as good as

Possible and sort of the shortest period of time cross-and grip maybe looks a little bit funky if you haven’t tried that before I really like that I really like the way that gives me the takeaway feel the right arm um the th impact piece so if you’re looking for solid
