00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:08.560
you're going to take your driver and you're going to grip it so that it's
3
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:13.960
sticking out the left shoulder or if you're right handed or swinging left
4
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.800
hand it'll be sticking out your right shoulder because what you're going to do
5
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.920
is get in your golf posture and then you're going to imagine that instead of
6
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.360
having a club head there it's actually a broom and what you're going to try to
7
00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:29.600
do is you're going to try to sweep the dust in your backswing now I want you to
8
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.180
make sure that you're staying relatively centered and you're not sweeping the
9
00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:37.480
dust by shifting your upper body but what this will help you do is if you have
10
00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:41.420
the loss of posture swing fault it means that you're lacking that left side
11
00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:41.760
bend
12
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.120
that we talked about in the overview video if you were to make your normal
13
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:49.240
backswing with the driver it would look something like this you can see that
14
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:49.360
you
15
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:54.440
would completely miss all the dust there so you're going to make sure that that
16
00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:58.960
left shoulder is pointing more towards the ground as you do your little pivot
17
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.240
and from your perspective the club will be brushing the grass or sweeping the
18
00:01:04.240 --> 00:01:09.640
dust so it's a good spatial awareness good feel drill and visual drill for what
19
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.160
your body would look like if you were to make a backswing without losing your
