okay nice and simple now when you first try this if you're not used to it it might feel a little bit kind of tight because you've been used to kind of spreading them so over time just soften those arms they don't have to be tight but they might feel a bit touched out just keep the equidistant and it'll feel quite short as well but this is going to be the first stage look of getting your shoulders to work much more on a circle too okay this way versus just you pulling your arms in okay so start with that as step number one so before I get into step number three where we really talk about how you kind of add some serious power to the golf course with this the next thing is really contact you've now started to create this circle okay by having your arms on top of your chest your Trail shoulder under now you're creating this kind of 45 degree circle here but from this angle it's very important that we still strike the ball solid now too many of you what's happening is you're moving off the ball too much so this head here is moving off here now the problem is it has to move excessively back on you can strike it but it's very hard to be consistent very very very few players top players ever do this you'll notice they'll pivot the head yes but that head is basically still over the top of that golf ball what this allows them to do is create a circle that remains on top of the ball so that when they come back down look here they've they're in a great position still to strike the golf ball so super simple thing you can work on is you've got your arms on top of your chest now all I want you to do is this I want you to imagine in a sense that when you swing back you almost imagine you're going to pour water out of your lead ear here okay so what you're going to swing back so your head pivots and a lot of times when I've mentioned this to players they often feel like they're kind of over this side of the golf but they almost feel like like their heads over here when it because they've been so used to it being over here they now feel like when they're turning it's like over this side it won't be but it might feel like that okay so this is going to Super help your contact okay so let's get started get yourself set arms on top of the chest I've got myself alignment and all I'm going to focus on here is maintaining that pivot of my head here I'm pouring water out my left ear okay and I'm right over the top of that golf ball foreign okay just like that so focus on those two things first the last two things you can take straight to the golf course so now you've got in a sense we've got a steady head we're now creating much more of a centered pivot from this angle you've preset yourself at the start to help give you a brilliant chance look of staying on this circle now step three is about how do we make sure that happens how do we develop fields and and visualizations to make this happen nice and easily well this next drill okay has become one of my favorites and it's the cack handed drill take your top hand and simply swap the hands around now this is absolutely brilliant now the first thing is is this all the first two steps are super important we've got now look arms on top of the chest now one reason why I love this drill what do you notice about my trail arm now it's already in a great place isn't it it's tucked in this way why is it tucked in this way why is that useful because we're trying to create this circle it's 45 degree circle this way so when it gets tucked in it's now going to help my body turn and coordinate look around here to create that beautiful Arc which is what's going to give you not only the power but also the accuracy too when your arms like this which I see a lot of people are pulling it this way that's when you start to get completely out of sequence so we want this Trail arm tucked in which is this drill helps you feel then look at this the arm is rotating in such a way that's going to help you create that wonderful circle on the way back and then from here look look at this I'm working it back down and back down onto that 45 degree angle which in the visual term is just a pure Circle okay so get yourself set swap those arms around now when I hit a golf ball like this it's too difficult for a lot of people to start with all you're going to do is get yourself set arms on top of the chest now simply make some swings focusing on that head position staying very very solid over that golf ball here get that Sensation from here look feel how the trail arm sits down swap those arms around okay really get that sensation here look there you might need to do it once or two or three times really get that sensation I'm turning look over the top there rehearse that motion once or twice okay and once you're ready let's start hitting a few shots foreign

absolute wonderful strike but do me a favor be easy on yourself as you're going through this motion don't try and do it all at once do the first couple of steps and when you're doing it it's just getting that sensation and visualize this the more you visualize the circle okay the more look your shoulders will work on a circle most people's shoulders never work on a search Circle what you're doing is like I said you're using your arms but as soon as look this comes in and we Trail it as soon as that right hand shoulder sits down and it moves backwards if this shoulder moves backwards it's late shoulder here has to move as well this is what's going to help you create and move those shoulders on a circle remember none of this works without steps one and two now if you're feeling really Brave this is for me an amazing drill right again cat candy but let's see if we get a golf ball cack-handed I love this exercise oh absolutely love this the all this exercise here is super super hard but it's when I actually hitting a golf ball not so much when you're doing the drill and where that's absolutely brilliant but hitting a golf ball it's super super hard but I'm feeling here real push in this position they look at that trail over here I'm feeling it pushing so it's still pushing on that shaft staying in there as I'm coming down it's still pushing against as I'm rotating it back down it's a brilliant brilliant exercise if you're willing to put in the time but do me a favor make sure you get this first move right so many top players work on it time and time again because if you get out of position you have to find the position so I hope you enjoyed this video if you did give it a thumbs up maybe share it with somebody who you know is struggling with contact and of course look there's a free download practice guide in the description box below so you never have to remember a thing but until next week have a wonderful golfing week.
