Video Transcription:

All right, it’s great to have you here. We’re going to do an awesome video today. I’ve really been looking forward to this for a long time.

This is a work-along video, and one thing that I always wished that I had in my game is I’d say, you know if somebody would tell me what to do and just walk me through it, I’ll do the work.

I’ll put in the time, I just needed to know what to do, what to feel, and just tell me exactly what to do and I’ll do it and I’ll get better, right?

That’s kind of what I always wanted to happen. Unfortunately, it’s always a little bit of a disconnect.

If you go get a golf lesson, even if the lesson is fantastic, once you’re done you have to remember what the instructor said, how to apply that to your game.

Then all of a sudden, you’re back out all on your own again after the lesson’s over, especially after it’s been a week or two weeks, what you talked about in that lesson, what you’re supposed to be working on gets a little bit hazy there.

Anything online is fantastic, because you get more frequent feedback with that, but then again, we watch the video and we have to go out to the driving range, out to the golf course and try to implement that.

Well in this work-along, this is designed to where you can grab your phone, you can start playing this video, put in some headphones, and just work right along with me.

If you have wireless headphones that’s perfect. What you can do is put an iPad or your phone on the ground, put your wireless headphones in, you can hear it flawlessly and you’re just kind of looking at what I’m saying and doing the drills with me.

So I’m going to be swinging as you’re swinging. I’m going to be telling you what I’m focusing on, how to do the drills. It’s going to be a progression where we just work right along with it.

If you have an iPad, a phone, you can throw it on the ground. If you don’t have wireless headphones, it’s no big deal.

All you need to do is just go ahead and crank the volume all the way up and you should be able to follow right along with that too.

Let’s jump right in here and let’s do this work-along. Again, this video is next to useless if you don’t grab a club and work along.

I’m sure you’ll learn some good drills and some things like that, but if you really want to get the results, if you really want to get better, all we’re going to do is I’m going to start swinging.

I’m going to start telling you what to focus on, and then you just follow right along with me, we’re going to have a blast doing this.

So let’s go ahead and jump in here.

Let’s start out and one of the main things that I’ve talked about is the ground contact. Let’s talk about what we’re trying to achieve here first, then we’ll go through the drills to achieve that.

When I’m making contact with the ground, you can imagine that I want to have that nice dollar-bill-shaped divot.

I don’t want to chop down in the ground really hard like that, especially if you’re on one of these mats or rolled up piece of carpet. I can start to hurt the elbows, the shoulders, that kind of thing.

These nice real-feel mats are really good because they’re pretty cushioned. You can see that it’s got a lot of, this is like an inch-and-a-half thick or two-inch thick stuff, so it’s a lot better on the joints.

But even if you have a rolled-up piece of carpet, what I’m talking about here today is going to be perfect with that.

So I don’t want to chop down into the ball, and let me grab a little foam ball here. The reason I don’t want to chop down is because if you imagine I’m hitting straight down into this ball like this.

This is exaggerated, obviously, that would never happen. Well let’s say that I’m coming down, my club is moving down into the ground like that.

Well imagine this is kind of how I’m hitting, this angle of the shaft is the amount that I’m hitting down.

If I’m just a little bit behind that ball, I want to slam this club into the ground, I’ll never even reach the ball. It’ll be a cold, dead chunk. If I’m a little bit in front, I’m going to miss the ball completely as I go that way.

Well as I shallow this out now, even if I ground out say an inch behind the ball, it really isn’t going to be that bad. I’ll kind of graze the tops of the pieces of grass, you actually hit a little grass before you hit the ball every single time unless it’s a really tight lie.

Then I’m going to come down and hit the ball, so if I’m a little behind it, it’s going to be coming in shallow, it’s going to graze, hit a little grass maybe it will feel slightly chunky, but we’re talking 15-20 feet chunky not 20-30 yards, 40 yards chunky.

But it will be a little bit heavy, not perfect. If I go the other way and I’m a little bit higher up and I hit in front of this golf ball, I’m still catching kind of the middle of the ball.

I’ll be thin, but it won’t be, you know, a skulled shot that flies over the green. So when we get too steep, our margin for error gets worse, if I’m chopping down into the ball, I want to be nice and shallow coming through there.

Now if I’m too shallow, and you can imagine this club like a Hula Hoop. So if I’m swinging this, just look at where my club head is moving. As I move back and through, that’s kind of like a Hula Hoop action.

So it’s a circle that’s happening on the ground like that. If I’m too shallow or my divot is too far back, now I’m grounding out back here and if I hit the ground, I’m going to chunk it.

Or if I barely miss the ground and I start to come back up into this ball, then I’m going to thin it at the top of the ball.

So when you’re talking about divots, there’s a couple things that matter and really what we’re trying to achieve is a couple things.

Number one, we’re trying to get the right angle of attack. I don’t want to be chopping down into the ground, I don’t want to be swinging up into the ball, because the ground’s going to get in the way, so I have to be nice and shallow. We’re going to go over that in this video, too.

I also want to make sure that my low point, or where the bottom of that arc is, is slightly in front of the golf ball.

That way I’m coming down, I’m hitting the golf ball first, and then my divot and my low point is slightly in front, and then my club comes back up.

If I’m too far behind with my low point, I’m going to chunk and thin, because the club’s going to be working like this into the ball.

I’m either going to hit the ground back here or I’m going to thin it, or if I’m too far in front, I’m obviously going to be coming down too steep again, and thinning the golf ball and having the divot in front.

So it’s not only how far forwards and backwards the divot is, it’s also how high, how far up and down the divot is. That’s exactly what we’re going to work on here.

That’s the knowledge base, the knowledge understanding of this, now let’s talk about how you would apply to that.

So when I’m hitting this mat, I don’t need a golf ball, I don’t need anything. I can get extremely fine-tuned just making swings on a mat or rolled up piece of carpet.

First looking at how deep I’m going. So I’m going to make a swing here and I’m really going to try to hit too down, have that Hula Hoop be too far down and be really taking a huge divot.

It would sound something like this. All right, so I’m slamming into the mat. Kind of jarred my arms a little bit. If you have elbow, tennis elbow, stuff like that, that could be happening from that.

You’re just hitting down into it too much. That’s one end of the extreme, not going to be very consistent, like I talked about, that’s going to lead to problems with that contact.

The other end of the extreme is this, where I’m just barely picking it off the ground, so I barely touched any grass at all, and those are all going to be thin shots.

Even if I come down and I hit the ball and the ground perfectly at the same time, well where I’m not really getting my club low enough, I’m just kind of thinning it a little bit.

It’s all going to seem not that solid. So that’s the low and the high. I can get feedback from my mat. I want to listen to that sound that my mat is making and that sounded pretty good.

That was that nice, almost like if this was a razor blade, I would just be shaving the top level of the grass off there, nice and smooth and clean. That’s the sound that I’m looking for.

If I hit down too much, I need to do some drills to not hit down as much. If I’m not getting enough grass, I need to do some drills to hit a little bit more grass. That’s what we’ll work on in this one.

Then we’re also working on let’s imagine this is the golf ball, how far in front am I making my divot. So maybe I make that nice, clean divot, but it’s too far in the front, or maybe I make that nice, clean divot, but I’m falling back and it’s too far behind.

That’s a big piece of making good contact. That’s one of the main reasons golf can be frustrating, because we’ve got these divots that are the wrong depth and the wrong direction.

You feel like it’s a ticking time bomb, you’re just about to hit a bad shot.

[Baby chatter]

That’s my son waving to me through the window there. [laughs]

That’s completely normal, and the cool thing is when I show you how to do this interleaving practice and the drills I go through, it gets way, way, way more consistent.

Now let’s jump into it, let’s actually do the work-along part of this video now that we understand what should be happening. Just to be clear, what goal we’re going for is a nice, clean, even brush of the mat.

We want to have that divot hitting starting right at the golf ball. So if I’m hitting this golf ball, I want to brush the grass right.

I want to hit the ground and the ball at the same time and then have that clean, even kind of dollar bill-shaped divot out in front of the ball to where it’s nice and smooth, and almost like if we were hitting off grass here.

Again, there would be just like a scalpel, just taking that top layer of grass off. You can see the dirt underneath, you can see the roots underneath, but it’s not a chop down and uneven, it’s just a perfectly smooth divot.

Let’s jump into the drill right now. Let’s go ahead and get started.

OK, so how are we going to accomplish this. Let’s start off with our weight shift.

Whenever I’m making a swing, I want to have a weight shift to the right, and as I’m coming down, I want to feel like my weight is shifting to my front side so my momentum is moving forward and I’m also swinging forward at the same time.

So that would be like if I’m throwing a football. I would want to go ahead and step forward, be rotating my body toward the direction I want to throw, or if I’m throwing a baseball, then we’re going to throw that pitch in the same way.

So you have the momentum of your body moving forward, and you also have the swing moving forward. You almost imagine like you’re stepping into your front foot and hitting that golf ball at the same time.

That’s how you can deliver the most energy into the golf ball. What you don’t want to do is feel like my weight is going this way as I’m swinging through, so I don’t want to be falling back and swinging through.

Those are kind of opposing each other. I’m doing that, now my hands and arms really feel like they have to push the club forward, it’s opposing forces. That’s also very critical with that divot.

If I’m going to make that divot coming through the golf ball, I need to have my weight shifting through the golf ball from right to left.

I need to have the momentum of my swing hitting through that golf ball with my weight shift. That’s how we want to do this.

Let’s start out with a little weight shift drill here, and what I want you to feel is a little shift to the right. I should feel that on, and we’re just going to use our hands and arms, no club yet.

I want to feel that on the inside of my right foot, so I’m shifting to the right. If I look at my head, my head or my nose should be looking down kind of on the inside of my right foot.

I’ve shifted to the right, this is my setup position. My head is here. As I go a little right, my head moves slightly more to the right.

What I don’t want to do is this. That would be a weight shift to the right, or a pressure to my right foot. I would feel that on the inside of my right foot, but my head’s leaning over here.

That’s going to be this in the downswing, again, falling away from the target. This little drill weight shift right, go ahead and do these with me now.

Let your arms swing to the right and feel that pressure nice and evenly balanced between the toe and the heel of your foot.

As I go back, it’s on the inside of this foot. You’ll notice my leg is angled in there. I’m not doing this, I’m just shifting into that foot. My head is on the inside of my right foot as I load up.

Just keep on doing about 15 or 20 of these. So as we rotate back, I’m setting up 50/50 at my address position. Then I’m getting that pressure moving into my right foot early. Little bit of shift with my head.

Now let’s look at our setup here. This would be 50/50 weight distribution between my feet. Nice, wide stance, I don’t want you to have this little tiny, narrow stance like this, that’s not going to be very powerful.

Let’s get those feet about shoulder-width apart, or maybe even a little bit wider than that. I’m going to set up with my weight distribution 50/50.

I’m going to get a little tilt with my body, just a little tiny bump so that my head is slightly behind the golf ball or what would be the golf ball if I’m looking down at the golf ball. Let me grab a golf ball here.

Then from there, I’m going to get that shift to the right. So here would be my setup, again we’re not using a club here, little bump to the right. That’s a great setup position, then I shift to the right side very early.

As soon as my weight, as soon as my club would be moving back, as soon as my arms begin moving back, I already feel that weight inside of my right foot here.

So keep on doing 5-10 of those, just really get the feeling of being balanced in your right foot, it’s going to be on the inside, this part of the right foot not the outside.

If I go to the outside I’m going to be swaying. I’m just going to keep on doing those, 10-15 more reps. So we’re just really ingraining that.

OK, now as we get comfortable with that, what we’re going to be doing now is we’re going to shift to the left and then swing down.

It’s not swing down and then shift to the left, so it’s an early move to the right. I start shifting left and then I swing down.

The feeling is going to be when I have pressure on my left foot, that’s when I’m able to swing through the golf ball. So I’m going to have that early shift to the right.

I start the shift left, I swing through, and now I’m balanced over my left leg. That’s really the key check points there, is inside of the right foot as you start back, and then balanced over the left foot as you swing through.

Now notice here, when I’m on my left foot my weight is all over my left foot. I could pick up my right foot and it would take me a couple seconds before I would actually fall back.

I don’t want to be like this, or actually like this I should say, where my right foot still has a lot of pressure on it, a lot of my weight’s back here. If I lifted up that right foot, I’d fall over immediately.

I want to feel like as I shift to that front foot, I’m stacked over this lead leg. My left ankle, my hips, my belt buckle’s forward, so everything’s really nice and aligned over my lead foot. My chest is high and I’m coming to that good, full finish.

So it’s ankle, hips, chest, chin, everything is balanced over this lead foot. If I pick up that right foot it takes me a second before I start falling back.

Let’s do a few more of those. Shift to the right, head’s to the inside of the right foot. I’m swinging through completely balanced on my left foot.

Now a couple common mistakes I see here. If this right foot stays down, that’s a key indicator that you’re not getting your weight all the way to the left in the follow through.

That’ll look something like this. I’m trying to get to the left, but I’m just falling like that. If I do that, again, that’s that falling back and trying to swing forward, it’s opposing forces here.

I want to feel like the weight comes off my right foot. When I swivel my right foot, that’s going to turn like that. Like imagine I have a bug under my toe, my big toe on my right foot, and I’m smooshing that bug into the ground.

Now when I finish, the entire shoe is off the ground. So you can see all the way from the tip of my toe to my heel is not touching the turf at all. If I look at that from this way, it’s going to be here.

That allows me, this kind of rotation of the foot, allows me to rotate my hips on through, and allows me to get this good finish position. That’s really where we’re working to here.

So again, a few more of those, really checking that finish position. I don’t want to see this with the right foot staying down, that’s going to be a bad weight shift. I’ve got to get through that ball.

If I was going to hit this, imagine a big piece of wood right here with a giant nail and I have a sledge hammer. I don’t want to go and hit this like that, I want my weight moving through the thing that I’m going to hit.

I want that hammer not only creating some energy, but my body moving energy through that so I can really smack that. So I really want to make sure I get all the way to my lead side when I follow through.

So let’s do a few more here where you follow through, and let’s go through a little checklist. You can relax your arms in the follow through, but I want to make sure that my weight is balanced over my lead foot.

Let’s do a few of those, just balancing and you’re going to hold that finish for a few seconds. You don’t have to hold the finish, but that’s a great indicator that you’re balanced over that lead leg, that front leg.

From there, let’s do a few more and I want to make sure my belt buckle is toward the target. I don’t want to do this where now my belt buckle hasn’t rotated through, that’s an all arms swing.

Again, I’m not getting that momentum going through the ball. I’ve got to get my belt buckle facing the target as I come on through.

Let’s do a couple more of those and as you’re doing this, you’re going to realize it’s easier to brush, if this is the imaginary ball, to get that divot on the front end or in front of this golf ball if I have that weight shift going.

So inside our right foot early, nice and balanced in the finish, belt buckle toward the target, right toe up. Now let’s do a few more, let’s add the shoulders.

As I’m coming through, again, if I was going to punch somebody I would wind up, load up on my right foot and then I would shift through and I would really extend if I’m going to throw a punch.

I wouldn’t do this and punch like that. I’m going to go through the punch, rotate my body, and hit that person. Same thing in the golf swing. I’m going to go through that ball, my right shoulder is going this way.

Look how far my right shoulder is rotated around to the target. Now if you’re not very flexible, here’s a great little tweak for that. Open this left foot about 30°, 40°.

Now as I want to rotate through it gets much easier to get to that front leg and to get that right shoulder around.

If you’re very inflexible and you have this front foot forward, you’re not going to be able to get anywhere near where I’m showing you here.

Same thing, again, if I was going to punch somebody, open that foot, I’ve got to get my shoulder through the punch, right? My shoulder has to rotate and go this way.

I don’t want to do that by just going, punching across my body. That’s weak. I’ve got to get that weight shift right, and then finish with that right shoulder toward the target, or as much toward the target as I can depending on your flexibility.

Really get that foot open. I love to see people, if you’re not very flexible, have this foot – I don’t mind if it’s 45° open, makes no difference to me – that’s going to help you get through that shot.

Then finally, I’m going to let my chin be nice and high, head up. The only reason I say that is because if my head stays down, look what happens to my body.

No hip turn, no shoulder turn, all arms, chicken wing, all this stuff we don’t want is from not finishing that weight shift through the ball.

All right, so let’s go back to the arm swing again, and let’s hit a couple pieces here. Let’s get those arms just swinging to the right, and then I’m going to swing, I’m going to feel like the momentum of my body is swinging my arms through.

So I am moving my arms, but I’m also swinging my body or rotating my body to make that happen. Now I’m going to introduce you to one more concept with this video.

Again, we want that low point to be good. If I’m staying level, if I just never really bend into the ground and do like a little U-type motion, I’m going to end up just kind of hitting with my hands and arms.

Let me explain what I mean by this. Let’s put our arms across our shoulders and do that same drill. Now when you load up to the right, I want you to feel like your hips make a U like this.

That’s really important in the golf swing, because that lets my legs engage. When my legs get bent, I can now fire the muscles in my legs to finish the swing.

If my legs are straight like this and I rotate, I don’t have anything to help me rotate on through. If you lock your knees like this, your knees are completely locked, and you try to rotate through the shot, it’s almost impossible.

I have to get some bend in my knees to then use the muscles in my legs to push my momentum through the shot. When I do these little swings, I’m going to be right, my hips go down.

Imagine I’m at the top of the U here. They go down, and then back up so my hips make this U shape. It’s almost like if you imagine this being my hips, here’s the top of the backswing.

As I go down, my hips are opening and dropping and then the second half of the swing as I finish my swing, they’re coming back up and rotating on through.

So it looks like this, here’s my hips and you can watch me as I’m doing this. There, down, and then through. So that momentum is what’s going to allow you to swing through and make the swing look effortless.

If you’re doing this, legs are rotating but not bending, then it’s going to be a mess. I’ve got to get that momentum going to the front side and my legs bending and extending as I come on through.

Let’s do those final couple checkpoints here. Let’s check the time here. Yeah, we’re about right on our time. We’ll go a couple more minutes here.

I try to keep these under 30 minutes for you, and you can always repeat these lessons if you want to go through them again. Let’s drop the club at first.

Hands across the shoulders, load up to the right, weight on the inside of my right foot, nose just behind this club. Then from there, I’m going to drop. As my hips open, I’m starting to shift to the left.

Then as I come to my full finish, my legs extend, my hips are toward the target, my belt buckle is toward the target, my body is nice and high, my chest is high, and I’m finishing all the way around like that. Right foot off the ground.

So again, let’s do 10 or 15 of those to where now you can feel not only the rotation aspect, but also that up and down. So I’m going to really exaggerate here.

My hips are going here, then like that. Here’s the reason that matters. That upward motion of your hips is what swings the club.

Whenever I have this club swinging like this, you imagine if I take the butt end of the club and I pull it back up, kind of like the back half of that U, watch what happens to the club head. It swings on through.

It’s that upward motion that gets the club to swing. If I don’t have that upward motion, there’s only one way to get this club moving forward, and that’s to push it.

I don’t want to push it with my hands, I want to let it swing with my hands. So again, right side, U, and then left side. Let’s keep on doing those, and now let’s incorporate this ground contact.

I want you to put a fake ball here, and I want you to work on brushing the grass. Let’s start out by trying to get that divot right where this golf ball is.

Now you can see the turf on this ball start to move when you first make contact. Really pay attention to where that turf is first moving. Those all look pretty good there.

Let’s keep on doing a few of those, that was a little too hard. I’m going to brush the turf a little bit shallower. That one felt really good. There we go, that was pretty good too.

A few more working along with me. Same key checkpoints as before, early weight shift to the right. As you finish, nice and tall, rotated all the way around, right foot barely touching the ground. A few more of those.

Now let’s start to adjust forwards and back. What I’m going to do here, imagine this is my good contact, I’m going to start to move that divot forwards and I’m going to start to move that divot backwards.

We’ll see how it totally jacks with my weight shift. If I want to move it forwards, I’m going to go ahead and get more to the left, so really left here, I’m going to feel like my weight is too far left, and I’m going to brush the turf in front of this golf ball.

There we go, you see how I kind of slid in front of that one? That’s that divot too far in the front. Let’s do a few more of those, again, getting the divot over here.

You’ll notice you almost have to set up with your weight a little more left if you want that to happen.

All right, so my weight instead of favoring my right side in a good swing, we’re practicing the exaggeration, my weight’s going to favor my left side a little bit at address.

It’s going to stay there, and then I’m really coming and hitting the ground way up here. So keep on doing a few of those.

I’d aim for a point maybe five or six inches in front of the golf ball that you would be hitting, and then trying to keep on getting that divot farther and farther forward.

Now, that’s great practice because that allows you to control your low point farther forwards and backwards.

If you ever start chunking a few shots, you know exactly what to do. You go ahead and move that weight, that low point farther forward like we’re doing here. But you’re only going to know how to do that if we practice this.

So that’s too far forward. Let’s start to move that thing back now. Here’s the one that really affects most players.

I want that weight shift going to the right and then shifting through the ball as I hit, so I’m through the golf ball, everything’s ending up over here.

Most players tend to do this, fall back because they’re trying to hit or push through the golf ball with the right side, so they get a little left with their head, and then they kind of fall back.

Let’s actually feel that, we’re going to do it the wrong way here. Again, not so that you’re…there’s a misconception that if you do any reps the wrong way, that that’s going to be bad for your game.

It’s simply not true at all. You’re getting a feel for the full spectrum. I don’t want to do a thousand of these, but I want to feel what it’s like to fall back. I want to feel what it’s like to go too far forward, and that way I have the full picture and if I ever get off track, I can work back to center a lot easier.

So here, let’s actually do the wrong weight shift. Weight left on the backswing, head left, and then we’re going to fall back on our right foot coming through.

We don’t need to do too many of these, but let’s aim for a point maybe five or six inches behind that golf ball we’re going to hit, and yeah, that just feels terrible. That’s not going to be good in a real golf swing.

All right, that’s, that’s really not going to be easy to play consistent golf doing this motion. All right, so we don’t need to do too many of those, that’s the wrong way.

So we felt too far forward. I had my weight left, I kept moving really far left to get the divot up here. I had my weight too far back, I fell back, and then I have the good one in the middle.

Shift to the right, transferring through the ball, all the way to a good, full finish. Let’s end on four or five trying to hit right here at this golf ball, swinging through it. There we go.

Hold your finish on each one of those, make sure you really rotate through the shot, your weight’s balanced on the left side.

So here’s your backswing, weight’s on the right, I’m shifting through. It feels like I’m carrying all my momentum through the hit. As I’m hitting the ball, my weight is also moving left at the same time.

So my weight shift’s going that way, my hit is going the same direction. That’s going to give you a lot of power. Let’s go ahead and do that a couple more times here.

Yeah, it just feels like a heavy hit. The momentum of my body and the momentum of the swing are going the same direction through contact. There we go.

Make sure you’re brushing the ground every single one of these. Make sure it’s not too thin where I’m missing the ground like that. If I do any of those, I’m consciously trying to hit more ground.

If I start slamming the club into the mat like that, I want to feel like I’m going a little smoother through contact. But the big thing to focus on here is that weight shift moving left as the hit goes through the ball.

If you do that right, you’re going to know you’re doing it right because you’re going to be balanced on your left leg. Now, some people may be asking, “Well Clay, why are we swinging so much?”

You’ve got to swing to get the feel, right? What we don’t want to do is just rapid-fire with no plan. All these drills have a plan.

We’re working on the weight shift, we’re working on the momentum of the swing, there’s a very set plan to this.

Hitting a lot, making a lot of swings with a set plan is completely fine because you’re getting the feel of what’s going on, you’re tweaking it.

What you don’t want to do is rapid-fire golf balls and bounce around from idea to idea. I don’t want to make a hundred swings here and have 20 different goals.

I have one goal doing this drill. I want my weight shift to be in a way that is going to allow me to hit down and through that golf ball to make a nice clean divot in front of the golf ball and to get all my energy moving through that golf ball in the right way.

That’s the ground contact piece. So all of these drills are just trying to get that good ground contact. So let’s finish with a couple more here.

Again, it’s almost like a dance. I’m right side, left side. So it’s really flowing from right foot to left foot.

My head goes from a little right on the backswing, just an inch or two, to through the ball, so at impact it’s kind of behind the golf ball, a little bit over the golf ball.

It’s still kind of back here, but as I move through it, it’s balancing over my left foot. So from my head, shoulders, hips, knees, left ankle, all that is going to be kind of in a line or even a little bit like this where it’s bent back a little bit.

I don’t want to see this. That’s the worst thing that can happen, where now none of that is in a line, I’m staying down here.

I’ve got to get all that through the shot so that momentum, again, kind of feel that as a flow like a kind of a dance, right, left, right, left, right, left. That’s just kind of a rhythm you want to have.

That’s going to allow you every single time to hit through that golf ball and really get your energy going through it. So that’s the first session, that’s the practice session.

As we go through these, we’re going to build on this drill start to work on other things other than ground contact and we’ll brush up on this too.

So if you feel like you need a little bit more work on this, go back to the beginning of the video. You can listen to me yap for the first 5 or 10 minutes, and then after that, jump right into the drills and do the drills again.

If you still feel like you need work, go back to the drills again, go through them two or three times if you feel like it. The more you practice this, the better you’re going to get.

All right, I’ll see you in the next practice session.
