Clay: All right, so this is the drill recap for the first outdoor drill of the 20 minute posture fix. The first thing we're going to do is 15 reps. We're going to choke up until the thumb of our left hand is on the steel of the shaft, all the way down here at the bottom of the grip. The entire right hand will be on the steel of the shaft.
Then from there, we're going to really exaggerate being in our posture. We're going to make a little half backswing, half follow through. Say hitting any wedge in your bag, sand wedge, lob wedge, gap wedge, doesn't matter. We're just going to hit it about 30 to 60 yards. So you're going to do 15 reps. You have to hit the ball.
If you thin it, you chunk it, you do anything like that. Maybe you're not used to the motion. Make sure that you hit 15 fairly decent shots. We're ready to move on to step number two. All right. So step number two, we're going to do another 15 reps choking up left thumb on the steel, just like last time.
We're going to set up the brick. We're going to put this foam pool noodle with alignment stick under the wedge launch setting. We're going to do another 15 reps. where we hit shots 30 to 60 yards, a little half backswing, half follow through. And we're just going to make sure that when we're hitting these, they're launching under the tip of this stick or under 30 degrees.
Now, a couple of quick tips with this, make sure when you're doing this, that you go ahead and let your hips open up. That'll allow you to get your hands in front to get the shaft and the club de lofting to launch under that 30 degrees. Now we're ready for the third part of these drills we're going to do in these.
For each rep, we're going to do 15 reps in total. There's two parts to each rep. One is a pausing rep, and then one is a little half swing. First, let's do the first part, the pausing rep. Choke up with your left, left thumb on the steel, just like we did on the last two drills. We're going to go down to impact.
My club needs to be touching the ground and really exaggerating me being in my posture, just like we've been working on. Then from there, I'm going to stand up. I'm going to rest my club on my left leg to get my spacing. I may feel a little closer to the ball than I'm usually feeling. I'm going to take my normal grip now.
So instead of being choked up way here, I'm going to just use my normal grip. I'm going to have the same key feelings. So my hips are opening. My hands are in front. I recommend for these drills, you set up with your address position to where your hands are leaning forward in front of your left leg. To go ahead and recreate that promoting you staying in your posture.
As you're doing this, now that we have our normal grip, you're going to notice that if I'm going to recreate that same feeling I had on those exaggerated choked up drills, my right arm is really going to have to be bent. My right elbow is almost going to be touching my side as I'm doing this. And my weight really needs to be on my heels to have space to hit this golf ball.
So from there, all I'm going to do is another 15 reps, one pausing rep to fill the exaggerated position. One little half swing, feeling those same little tips that I mentioned there. And if you're lucky enough to hit it, well, you can knock the little stick out of there and make sure that you're launching it nice and low.
So another 15 reps go slow on this. These are just little half swings. We'll build it a little faster. As we go through the drills, start nice and easy and slow. You're just trying to get the feeling here.
