One of those just went a lot further and you may or may not have noticed what I did different and this can often go unnoticed when you’re watching golf swings on TV and you’re wondering where did they get all that power from it’s the vertical force and it’s the movement

For the vertical Force pushing off the ground and having the time to actually use it most people who come and have lessons use vertical force in some way shape or form it’s rare that somebody’s totally loaded into the floor but are you using vertical Force efficiently do

You recognize how to use it and can you practice it and improve it because that had made a marked difference in distance very noticeable and every now and again you might just time your swing perfect tapping into the use of that vertical force and the ball goes another 20 30

Yards and you think where did that come from so you know there’s power in there but how do you access it now you might find in your golf swing there’s lots of effort and also a lack of balance at the end so in an effort to try and create

The power you actually compromise the balance because the mechanisms aren’t there to tap into the vertical because the vertical just doesn’t give you the power it also gives you the stability so this is an exercise that a lot of people have seen me me doing lessons it gets

Some really funny comments on on the social media platforms they’re wondering what the hell’s going off and oh my God while using a trampoline or a trampet in a lesson but what I want to show you is how you can use something like this or a

Similar exercise we can adapt it if you haven’t got a trampet but if you have it could be the best training aid that you possess but if you haven’t no problem you can do some step drills and things like that I’m going to show you how to

Adapt it disclaimer as well guys be careful if you’re using stuff like this you need to be on a level with the trampet so I’ve just used the Rebox St I’m standing here on the trampet and I’m not going to bounce okay I’m going to

Load into it and what I’m going to do is I’m going to use lateral and I’m going to use use rotation and I’m going to use vertical I’m going to drop I’m doing everything in the opposite direction to the real Direction I want to move in I

Want to be able to push off the floor and move back and just like the throw and resist the movement I’m going to be making with the club so I can balance the forces I want to be recoiling rotating to the Target so like a tightly wound up Spring

I can then fire without even having to put any effort in rotating that way just let the body recoil and I want to use the push off I want to use vertical so I’ve got stability because the golf club’s going to be going that way and I’ve got to

Stabilize it I’ve got a push off and I’ve got rotation everything we want so it all exists in this exercise so it may look stupid it may not look attributable to a golf swing but what it’s doing it’s giving your body the sensory awareness that you need and then the conscious

Recognition of how you push and feel to actually apply it in a golf swing in a natural way because as soon as you pick a golf club up you’ll sense how you can use this that’s what it is it’s not trying to replicate a feeling it’s

Giving you a sense for you to go and explore the self-discovery aspect of It Go and feel how you can use what you’re experiencing here in the golf swing so to do it you need to be disciplined in how you’re applying yourself here and be focused intently because we’re

Developing awareness we don’t just want to go on there bounce off twist a bit and really don’t pay enough attention to what is a very articulate movement in terms of maximizing the efficiency of our movement and the use of these forces so I’m going to load into this a

I’m going to not push down I’m going to drop and as I drop just like a cork screw I’m going to twist as a right-hander in the clockwise Direction so I’m just twisting now be careful if you’ve got any issues we don’t want to be putting loads of

Pressure on the knees so if you’re experien any pain you can just start to minimize it a bit you don’t have to twist as much cuz that’s going to put potentially some torque through the knee but the knee is allowing the ankle and the hip to work together so we’re

Loading into the ground notice there’s a shift look at the hip the hip shifts it’s not a bump it’s a shift with rotation and I’m dropping and I’m letting my body as well rotate in the clockwise direction away from the target to make this loading

Easier and then what I’m going to do is I’m just going to jump back onto the step so all my pressure is over here so I get used to pushing away from the direction I’m going to be swinging and it’s going to fire the rotations in that direction

Notice how I’m returning to neutral at no point am I trying to rotate in that direction and I don’t want to try don’t want to be trying to twist that way we want to be load in and twisting the opposite way so we elastically load all these joints ready

To create that kinematic sequence in the direction we want which is that way and then I can explore a bit more rotation get rotating the Torso a bit more and notice it brings me back to square without any effort the magic then is when you go back to the

Ground grab a club go back to the ground while the feelings freshen the bones because your body memorizes movement it’s not muscle memory it’s much deeper than that it’s in a different place but your proceptive systems are hard at work here your body’s GPS system is going to help you

Out all you’ve got to do is have a few swings no ground contact no interference just using the swing weight and just have a few easy swings now I often see people as soon as I pick the club up they’re going to setup Mode start here tense arms trying to control the club

And not giving themselves any opportunity here to use the ground because there’s too much tension in the system one piece takeway control the face they’re so used to moving in that manner with the club in the hand they’re not giving themselves any chance to explore anything different so we’ve got

To just waggle the club let your wrists move let your elbows move roll the shoulders the cing Montgomery arms the sevy the Jack Nicholas waggle the sevy waggle the sevy twirl you got to let this thing move you’ve got to let your arms have freedom to react to the

Forces that you’re going to be creating from what you feel in this exercise so without further Ado I’m just explaining the situation the kind of learning environment you creating you wanted to be getting straight off there onto here and making some nice easy swings and then start to feel the

Path is the load in and the spring and the question you might be asking yourself or thinking about is when do I do it Markus well it’s in the down swing so we’re not swinging this way it might look like it we’re actually going the other way and

You’re going to notice it cuz now with a trained eye when you watch golf swings on TV they’re all doing it different in their own way but they’re all loading they’re all loading laterally rotationally and vertically they’re going down because they want the opposite reaction and so do we but it’s

So subtle and it happens so quick sometimes that you don’t notice it but you’ll notice they are shifting to the Target still rotating this way with the hips and still rotating with the Torso it might only be a very for a very kind of short phase a very short interval during

This phase of the down swing but you’re going to be picking up on it particularly people like Mel Roy and Lee Westwood people like you’re going to notice it but when you swing now allow yourself to explore that c screw effect but it’s not just twisting it’s shifting and falling and then

Spring let yourself react don’t just practice this because that’s not how the body’s going to perform neuromuscularly in the golf swing it’s far too fast the body’s got to recognize how you want it to operate in the actual Act of swinging a golf club so trying to slow it down and

Memorize some position or micro move is probably not going to be enough because the body needs to know what’s going on before what’s happening after needs to a picture but it just needs some detail so the stimulus is the detail not the conscious technical information that’s just necessary to perform the exercise

What you’re doing is you’re stimulating feelings generating this level of awareness that you can apply and adapt to tap into the spring so there’s a definite sense of feeling loaded into the floor and pushing off going weightless if you like start off with a few easy swings don’t

Even try and do it yet build it up and think right now I’m going to I’m going to go for the trampet feeli and I’m going to just let myself explore using the swing weight and spring in and then explore a little bit more rotation if you

Want and just ease yourself in if you can’t feel it drop your Club don’t do this exercise with the golf club that just interferes with your ex ution of it because you taking the old version of you the golfing version the golfer with the pre-existing movement Maps the

Pre-existing concept of a swing the feelings that you associate with a swing the mov you’ve developed through that which is just going to constraint how you apply yourself to this go into this even with your hands in your pockets and just twist and load and spring you’ll feel yourself load into

The forefoot into the ball of the fo into the toe and spring you might even find your foot twists all Rory mroy all Jack Nicholas when they plant the foot you’re going to see the foot again we’re not trying to copy these guys but there’s signals there there signs in

What they’re doing performance features which is actually a reaction to the body loading it’s not conscious they are doing that naturally and we can stimulate these similar actions and generate feelings for them that level of awareness needs to be here when we’re doing our exercises and reinforce when we’re practicing through the same

Process not going from here to there and start thinking about how do I recreate this feeling take this feeling to there and adapt it and explore it more take your hands out your pockets put your hand on your sternum rotate that rib cage as you rotate back you drop at the

Same time that stretches the muscular slings it’s tapping into that stretch reflex for that elastic recoil and then I’m back on here getting comfortable pushing off the ground transferring weight of course in a golf swing we’re not going to be jumping back because we’ve got all this momentum

Going that way we’ve got to somehow control that we’ve got to somehow balance it out so you’re not going to be going back in the golf swing you’ll stay stable but don’t practice your golf swing on here I’m just explaining how it potentially transfers cuz this just transfers if you

Let it if you start getting involved technically in a deliberate trying to control and re replicate this it’s not going to happen this happens way too fast it’s a feeling it’s doing not thinking and just letting yourself explore the feeling challenge yourself amplify the feeling in terms of the

Feedback you’re getting now is much more recognizable when you start to increase the ranges and then grab the golf club and straight away get feeling a few little swings to free up the arms the Monty arms and then build it up and feel reaction and then have a

Shot doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect we’re not trying to get all our ducks in a row every single shot that’s the first shot often we don’t even give ourselves an opportunity to explore a movement we judge ourselves straight away and go oh that doesn’t work and it’s like we’ve

Been playing golf for decades and we expect an exercise and literally the next shot to have a massive effect and we’re not giving ourselves a fair crack at the the whip here we’ve got to give ourselves chance an opportunity to to become a bit accepting of disruption

With your outcome so don’t worry about thinning or topping or or hitting slices or hooks of course that’s important but not at this moment in time we’re just starting to tap into this kind of movement awareness aspect of what we’re doing then we can start to shift and

Connect it more to the outcome and become a bit more externally focused on the golf shot can have another go first of all just maybe over the ball having a little practice put some more rotation in there and a bit of a spring explore it cool now if you haven’t got a trampet

And most of us probably haven’t got a trampet we can do a step drill so with the step drill we put the feet together just make a little half swing again soft elbows shoulders wrists and then we’re going to take a step and as we take the step we twist the foot

In rotate it internally I would say thinking of a clock face Maybe to 1:00 if that’s not comfortable just 12 depends on the knee 2 o00 maybe if you can won’t go any further than that really and let your body rotate and load the left side so taking a

Step get comfortable now I’m just using the Ballers of the feet and the the toes notice my heel is off the floor then you can spring and having to go with the ball see there’s a very different intent behind that gol swing things start to become a bit more subtle there’s a

Different tensioning that takes place not trying to control the swing but certainly connecting more with the shot and recognizing where we go so in your practice there’s a couple of ways there that you can improve Pro how you’re using the ground for that vertical Force for that increased distance and control because the

Sequencing is going to improve so your feeling improves of that release the speed improves and all importantly your confidence grows and that’s how we should be Practicing
