The Draw System – Day 6

Posted on 16. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 6 – The Take-away (Right Hander)

Now we’re at the stage you’ve probably been waiting for – The Swing!

The swing is a chain reaction and the way you setup to a ball largely dictates how you will swing the club.  Hopefully you’ve been following the instructions closely up to this point, and you are now setting up to your long shots with all the points that are outlined on Day 5.  So now the next logical step is to start at the very beginning of the swing, which of course is the take-away.

Most golfers do not realize the huge impact that the take-away has on the rest of the swing.  Quite simply without a good, solid and consistent take-away you’ll never play to your potential.

Most golfers that slice the ball do so because they take the club too far on the inside at the start of the backswing, and they do so because they’ve heard that the golf ball must be struck from the inside to produce a draw.  Although it’s true that a golf ball must be struck from the inside to produce a draw, it’s also true that many golfers that take the club too much on the inside at the start of the backswing tend to come over the top on the downswing which of course helps to produce a slice.

The backswing should be taken straight back for the first 6 inches or so and then it should move naturally around to the inside.  Another misconception a lot of golfers make when taking the club away is that they try to keep the clubface closed during the backswing, and they do this thinking that it will help the clubface to stay closed through the ball.  Unfortunately, doing this means that you’re more likely to open the clubface up through impact! 

            Why?

Because we react instinctively to the alignment of the clubface and if you swing back with a closed clubface you will automatically attempt to open the clubface through impact to compensate.  So, to consistently draw the ball you have to do the opposite of what you normally do, and you should’ve already started this process by lining up your clubface to the right of where you want the ball to finish.

From this setup position (clubface pointing to the right of your final target), you should feel as though you are opening up the clubface on the backswing.  Naturally by doing this you will automatically close the clubface on the downswing, which will definitely help you to produce a draw/hook.

Now the take-away should really be named the move-away because “take-away” gives connotations of “snatching”, and you definitely don’t want to do that.  The club should be moved away with your big muscles, and here’s how to do it.

When you setup to any long shot, your arms and shoulders will form a triangle.  Lots of golfers start the backswing with the hands only and instantly lose this setup relationship.  Doing this causes many inconsistencies in the swing and this translates into inconsistent results, and most of the time a slice.

When moving the club away from the ball you should do so with the arms and shoulders as a unit so that the triangle formed at address remains intact for the first 3 feet or so of the backswing.

Below and on the next page are some pictures that will show you exactly what I mean….

You can clearly see from these pictures above and on the previous page that the triangle formed at the address position remains as the club is moved away for the first 3-4 feet of the backswing.   What is also very important for you to notice is that the clubface appears open, but in reality the clubface has not been manipulated by the hands at all.  The clubface opens naturally as the club is moved back with the turning motion of the shoulders and arms.  This is very important.

To help you to keep the triangle intact in your backswing I have three very simple exercises that you can work on to both improve your take-away and to check to see that you’re doing it properly.  In this first drill I want you to experience the feeling of turning to start your backswing rather than using your hands and here’s what you should do…

Drill 1: Setup to a ball as normal and then slide the club up through your hands and place the butt end of the club in your navel.  Once you’ve achieved this position simply turn your navel to start the backswing and keep turning so the club goes about 3-4 feet.  Do this over and over again.  This is how you should start your backswing (see the pictures below that show you what you need to do in more detail).

You’ll notice that when you do this exercise your clubface appears to open up on your backswing but you know that you haven’t manipulated it at all so it is therefore in a neutral position.   Once you’re used to this new take-away move, the next step is to integrate it into your real backswing.  There are a couple of ways that you can check to see if you are doing this right, and here they are:

Drill 2:  Place a club behind your left foot on an angle so it goes through to the front of your right foot.  Incidentally, when doing this exercise do it with a square stance (all parts of your body aligned parallel left to the target) and not a closed stance (all parts of your body aligned to the right of the target) like I suggest on Day 5.

Once you’re setup like I’m demonstrating above, the next step is to move the club away using your big muscles.  Do this until your hands are over your right foot and then stop your take-away.  Now look down on your club and notice whether or not the club is pointing along the same parallel lines as the club on the ground.  If you’ve taken the club away with the big muscles, the two clubs should be parallel.

When doing this exercise don’t make the mistake of thinking that the club has to appear directly over the club on the ground, but instead it should appear along the same parallel lines and quite a bit on the inside of the club on the ground.  If your club is not along the same parallel lines at this point in the take-away then keep practicing the previous exercise and check your progress by doing this exercise.  It’s critically important that you do not move on until you can successfully do this exercise.

After completing this exercise successfully move onto the final exercise for today….

Drill 3: To check that you’ve taken the club away well with the clubface opening naturally, do the following exercise.  Address a ball as normal, and once again do this exercise with your feet square to the target (all parts of your body aligned parallel left of your target).  Once setup similar to picture 1 below, simply move the club back using your big muscles and stop when your hands are over your back foot (see picture 2 below).

From this stationary position simply move your entire body (yes, feet as well!) so you’re facing the clubhead.  This will put you in a similar position as if you were setting up to a shot.

While doing this keep your shoulders, arms, wrists and club in exactly the same position as they were in when you stopped your backswing (see picture 3). 

Now lower the club to the ground and notice if your clubface is open, square or closed.  If you’ve taken the club away correctly with your big muscles you should be in exactly the same setup position as you were to start with (see picture 4) only turned well to the right.

If at the completion of this exercise the clubface is either open or closed then that means you’ve manipulated the club with your hands during your take-away.  So keep practicing the first drill today and then check how you’re going by doing drills/exercises 2 and 3.

So here are your tasks for today…

Day 6 Tasks

1. Do the ‘club in the naval’ drill (Drill 1).  Keep repeating this exercise until it’s second nature to start the backswing with the big muscles rather than with the hands.

1. Position the club between the feet to check your take-away position and keep practicing this drill until you can move the club away so it’s parallel with the club on the ground when your hands are over your right foot (Drill 2).

1. Move the club away with your big muscles to start the swing and when your hands are over your right foot then move to face the club, lower the club and you should be in the same position that you were in to start with, i.e. with the clubface square etc. (Drill 3).

After you’ve grooved a new take-away movement, I suggest you practice it many, many times until it’s well and truly a habit, and even then keep practicing it.  Remember to move the club away “slow and low.”  I’ve never seen a golfer yet take the club away too slowly, so keep that in mind when practicing your take-away.

Also after doing your 15 minutes or more of drills, hit a few balls if you can, or have a few swings not worrying about your swing but exaggerate your setup (see Day 5) and let your swing follow along for the ride.

The Draw System – Day 7

Posted on 16. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 7 – Club Parallel Position (Right Hander)

Moving on from yesterday’s take-away position we’re now going to check a very important position in the backswing.  And this position is when the club is parallel with the ground just into the backswing.  Here is a picture to show you the position I’m talking about.

To get to this point in the swing, just keep moving the clubhead beyond the point you got to yesterday (hands over your right foot) until the club reaches horizontal.  And the most important aspect of this position is that the toe of the clubface is pointing directly up towards the sky.  Here is today’s task that will help you to get your club into a similar position to the one I’m showing above.

Day 7 Tasks

Practice this drill for at least 15 minutes.  Place an umbrella or something similar about 3 feet behind your right foot on the same line as your toes (align all parts of your body parallel left of your final target for this exercise).  Now setup to a ball and move the club away as explained on Day 6, but continue the swing until the club is parallel with the ground and then stop your swing and check the clubface positioning.

The toe of your club at this point in the backswing should be pointing straight up to the sky.  If the toe of your clubface is pointing more towards the ground, then that means it’s closed and if the clubface is pointing more towards the sky than is pictured on the previous page then that indicates it’s open.

Ideally you want your clubface to be square (i.e. pointing straight up and down), but if anything, it is better to have it open (pointing more towards the sky).  The reason I say open is because if you have the clubface open on the backswing then you are more likely to close it on the downswing, which will naturally help to produce a draw/hook.

Now if you’re doing this drill and you move the club into the umbrella before you reach the parallel club position, that indicates your backswing was too flat (too much on the inside) and this will definitely encourage a slice rather than a draw/hook.

Also, when your club is parallel with the ground on the backswing it should be pointing along your toe line, because what I’m trying to get you to achieve is an upright backswing and a slightly flatter downswing that attacks the ball from the inside.  To achieve this you must have the club at least pointing along your toe line when it’s parallel with the ground.

So, keep repeating your take-away until the club is in the parallel position.  And do today’s drill for at least 15 minutes.  Then after doing this drill hit a few balls or have a few swings not worrying about your swing, but simply exaggerate your setup (see Day 5) and let your swing flow.  See you tomorrow.

The Draw System – Day 8

Posted on 16. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 8 – The Backswing Turn With A Solid Back Leg (Right Hander)

I said at the end of yesterday that I’m trying to get you to have a more upright backswing and a slightly flatter downswing, and the reason I’m suggesting this is because most slicers tend to have a flat backswing and a steeper downswing, which of course produces a slice.

To help create a more upright backswing we need to now focus on your shoulder turn because this largely governs the plane of your backswing.  So today I’m going to give you an exercise that will get your shoulders turning on a more upright plane, and I’ll get you to combine this drill with another one that will teach you how to keep your right leg in the same position that it was at address.

Most golfers destroy any possibility of real power and consistency in the swing by straightening the right leg on the backswing.  Your right leg should remain in exactly the same position that it was at address during the entire backswing.   So with these two points in mind here’s the tasks for you today.

Day 8 Tasks

Setup to a ball making sure that you do so with good posture, (see Day 3) and then place a golf ball under the outside of your right foot.  Doing this forces your weight to be concentrated on the inside of your right leg at address and it will be forced to stay there throughout this drill.  This is exactly what should happen during your backswing.  You should never let any of your weight move to the outside of your right foot, NEVER!

Now place the club across your back as the pictures below demonstrate.

Once setup, simply move your shoulders in a similar fashion to that of a swing.  But when doing this, exaggerate the steepness of your shoulder plane by trying to point the club to your ball at the completion of your backswing.  Also keep your right leg in exactly the same position as it was at address, with the weight centered on the inside of your right leg.

Once you’ve done this drill for at least 10 minutes, then swing a club as normal but keep the ball underneath the outside of your right foot.   Swing concentrating on keeping your right leg in the same position as it was at address and moving your shoulders on a steeper plane.

Keep practicing these drills so you do at least 15 minutes of exercises and then hit a few balls or have a few swings not worrying about your swing mechanics, but exaggerate your setup (see Day 5).  Let your swing be guided by your setup and the drills you’ve been doing so far.

The Draw System – Day 9

Posted on 16. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 9 – Upright Backswing Drill (Right Hander)

Today we’re going to be really working on the uprightness of your backswing.  As I’ve already said, we want you to have a more upright backswing and a flatter downswing.  But don’t worry about your downswing yet, as the flatness will come naturally as a result of the drills I give you.

Day 9 Tasks

To do today’s drill grab a wedge and stand next to a wall so that your bottom just touches it, as I’m demonstrating below in picture 1.

Now swing back how you normally would, and if you hit the wall on your backswing then you know your swing is too flat.  If you don’t hit the wall with your first swing keep following these instructions because they are very important.

A lot of people, when they find out they’re swinging too flat, tend to try to fix this problem by simply picking the club up from the start of the backswing.  But that leads to even more problems than just flat swinging does.

I’ve already gone over the first few stages of the backswing, but I want to reiterate that the backswing is simply a turn-away, a one-piece movement.  And the picture below (picture 2) shows you clearly the wide arc I’ve created from a “slow and low” start to the backswing.  And it also shows you the toe of the clubface pointing straight up towards the sky, which again is a very important part of the backswing that you must try to emulate.

Once you can get to the halfway point in your backswing and you’re in a similar position to what I’ve demonstrated above, then the next step is crucial in creating an upright backswing.  And it’s at this point that a lot of slicers keep going around their bodies instead of taking the club up on a more upright arc.

So to create a more upright backswing, simply hinge the wrists up, as I’m demonstrating below in picture 3.  This will make the club appear quite vertical and that’s good.  If you’ve been swinging flatly for a long time this may feel quite strange.  But the stranger it feels the better, and I’ll explain why in a minute.

Once in a position similar to picture 3 the next step is to continue the backswing by turning the shoulders and arms.  This will get your arms into a very upright position as I’m demonstrating in picture 4.  As I said a second ago, the stranger this feels the better and I want to now explain why.

If you’ve been swinging flatly for a good period of time then that swing will be very grooved.  And the quickest and easiest way to get yourself out of this rut is to do the opposite extreme.  What this means is that if you think you’re swinging uprightly you’re probably not, so exaggerate more.  “Feel” and “reality” are generally two completely different things.  What you think you’re doing and what you’re actually doing will often be worlds apart.

For example, when I’ve noticed people swinging flatly I get them to exaggerate an upright backswing – so they swing with what feels like an upright backswing to them but it will only be about 1 inch more upright.  I’m serious!  That’s how different ‘feel’ and ‘reality’ are.  So remember, to start with exaggerate your backswing a lot as I’m doing below and keep repeating this.

Once you can swing back without hitting the wall with your wedge then move to your 7-iron, then change to your 5-iron a week or so later, then a long iron.  Keep doing this until you reach your driver.  From now on I want you to do this drill everyday for the rest of this draw system.

Why? 

Because the rest of the system is going to be basically programming you to swing from the inside, and doing this for some people can cause their backswing to become too flat.  And as you know, that helps to create a slice.  So we don’t want that do we?  What we want is an upright backswing and a flatter downswing.  Doing this drill everyday combined with the rest of the drills I get you to do will help you to achieve this.

So practice this wall drill for at least 15 minutes today and then hit a few balls or have a few swings not worrying about your swing, but exaggerate your setup (see Day 5) and swing without worrying about your mechanics.  That’s all for today, I’ll see you tomorrow…

The Draw System – Day 10

Posted on 16. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 10 – The Start Of The Downswing (Right Hander)

I’ve said this a number of times, but it’s so important that I’ll say it again: your backswing plane should be more upright than your downswing plane.

Unfortunately most golfers swing plane is the exact opposite of this and that’s called swinging over the top.

Maybe you’ve heard of it!

Swinging over the top is one of the biggest causes of the ball starting to the left and generally resulting in a slice or a pull.

Now, we’ve started to cure this over the top problem by me giving you the upright backswing drill (see Day 9). But now we need to work on flattening your downswing plane. But before I give you a drill that will help you to do that I have a word of warning.

The drill that I’m going to give you today is going to feel so strange that you may not want to do it. But please do because the strange feeling you get from doing this drill is a good thing as it’s the total opposite of what you have probably been doing for your entire golf career thus far.

Plus the results of repeatedly doing today’s drill are well worth any temporary feeling of uncomfortableness.

And like the upright backswing drill I gave you on Day 9 I’m also going to get you to do today’s drill every day from now on. Plus, like the drill on Day 9 I don’t want you to try and do what I’m suggesting in this drill when you’re just swinging normally.

The purpose of this drill is simply to give you the feeling of swinging flatter on the downswing than you’re swinging back. So I want you to do this drill everyday from now on (for only 5 minutes, apart from today) and then when you’re swinging normally just do so without thinking of anything mechanical, like the plane of your swing.

Now before I show you the exercise that will help you to fix an over the top problem for good I want to first explain why most golfers swing over the top, and second I want to show you what you should be trying to achieve when you swing.

So first, the reason most golfers do this disastrous over the top move is because for some reason they swing back on a too flat plane. And then what happens from such a position is the club naturally does the opposite on the downswing, which is to come down too steep…

Now what you should be trying to do when swinging a golf club is to swing the club back so the shaft is slightly more upright than the original shaft plane line at the halfway point in your backswing.

Then on the downswing you want the clubshaft to be close to being along the same parallel lines as the original shaft line at this halfway point in the downswing. Also the club should be slightly above and outside the original shaft line as is shown in the pictures below.

So hopefully this has given you a clear idea as to what you should be trying to do in your swing as far as the swing plane is concerned. And it’s very important that you have this clear understanding. With that, here is today’s task…

Day 10 Tasks

OK, to fix an over the top swing you are going to have to practice and practice the exact opposite of what you’ve been doing for such a long time. And when you practice this you’ll have to really exaggerate the exact opposite to such an extreme that it will feel very silly. But only by doing this will you really fix the problem once and for all. And if you don’t feel strange when you’re doing this exercise then you’re not exaggerating it enough.

So grab a club and do the following.

Setup to an imaginary ball and then start your swing back normally in a one-piece movement for about the first foot or so of your backswing. But from then on move the shaft of the club on a very, very exaggerated upright plane as the pictures below clearly demonstrate and then continue to the top of your backswing.

After completing your backswing I then want you to feel as though the club is doing a big loop and coming way down behind you on a very flat plane as the pictures below also clearly demonstrate.

And then swing through but when you do so you should feel as though the club is going out to the right and then follow-through.

Again, doing this drill will feel very, very strange indeed. But remember, that’s good. And you should do this very, very exaggerated loop swing everyday until the end of this system and beyond. In fact, I suggest you do this exercise for at least 30 days.

Then after this 30 day period you should have a slightly upright swing plane on the backswing and a flatter swing plane on the downswing which will result in consistent powerful draws.

Finally, I want to explain that when you’re doing this drill you must feel like you are swinging very much from the inside and then out to the right. Doing these things will feel very unnatural at first but with practice they’ll become a habit and you’ll improve your ability to hit consistent draws dramatically.

So here’s a summary of what you should do today….

• Practice this loop drill for at least 15 minutes today
• Upright backswing drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 9)
• A few minutes of some relaxed swings with your exaggerated setup (see Day 5) without worrying about doing anything mechanical.

OK, that’s it for today, I’ll see you back here tomorrow.

The Draw System – Day 11

Posted on 16. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 11 – The Release…Part 1 (Right Hander)

Today’s drill is really easy to do and it’s so easy you can even do it sitting down!  Let me explain. We’re now moving into the part of the swing when you should be releasing the club through impact.  And this is one of the most critical aspects of the swing that you must perform correctly to ever consistently draw a ball.   Today’s drill will teach you how to use your hands properly during the swing, and here’s what you should do.

Day 11 Tasks

Sit down somewhere where you can swing a club safely on a horizontal plane and then do exactly that.   Hold a club out in front of you and then swing like a baseball/softball player back and forth and of course you won’t be able to use your legs which is the object of this exercise, because if you can’t use your legs then of course you’ve got to use your arms.

Sitting Baseball/Softball Drill

Do this drill for at least 15 minutes today and remember it is very important when doing the following exercises that you also keep doing the Upright Backswing Drill (see Day 9) and the Loop Drill (see Day 10) for a few minutes after your initial drill.  Here’s a summary of what you should do today…

• Sitting baseball/softball drill for at least 15 minutes
• Upright backswing drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 9)
• The Loop Drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 10)
• A few minutes of relaxed swinging with the exaggerated setup explained on Day 5

So that’s it for today, I’ll see you back here tomorrow for your next instalment.  And by the way, if you’ve made it to here you’re doing extremely well so keep persisting because the biggest rewards come to those who complete this system.

The Draw System – Day 12

Posted on 16. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 12 – The Release…Part 2 (Right Hander)

Like yesterday’s drill, today’s drill is really simple.  All it involves is hitting balls or swinging if you can’t hit any balls, with your feet together.  That’s it, simple eh?

The reason you’re doing this drill is because it teaches your hands to release through impact, and it does this because obviously with your feet together your body is restricted in the swing so therefore your hands have to take over.  Another great benefit of doing this drill is that you will gain greater balance because you won’t be able to swing too hard.  Here’s what you should do today.

Day 12 Tasks

Grab an 8 or 9 iron and setup to a ball with your feet together.  And it’s a good idea to tee up a ball quite high when doing this exercise as it promotes a flatter downswing.  So once you’re setup to your teed up ball simply swing about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way back and then swing through with about the same length follow through.

Feet Together Drill

Do this drill for at least 15 minutes today, and remember it is very important that you also keep doing the Upright Backswing Drill (see Day 9) and the Loop Drill (see Day 10) for a few minutes after this drill.  Here’s a summary of what you should do today…

• Feet together drill for at least 15 minutes
• Upright backswing drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 9)
• The Loop Drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 10)
• A few minutes of relaxed swinging with the exaggerated setup explained on Day 5

And remember if you can’t get to hit a ball simply do today’s drills without a ball, see you tomorrow.

The Draw System – Day 13

Posted on 13. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 13 – The Release…Part 3 (Right Hander)

Today’s drill is another easy one but you have to do this one standing up.  That’s right, no sitting down for this one.  Basically what you’re doing today is the same as what you did on Day 11, but this time you’re standing up and you can and should use your legs when you do your baseball/softball swings.

And because you’re doing this swing on such a flat swing plane, you need to do the upright backswing drill as well (see Day 9), after completing this exercise.  So here’s exactly what you need to do today…

Day 13 Tasks

Simply hold a club out in front of you and then swing like a baseball/softball player back and forth, and this time use your legs as you are swinging.  Here’s some pictures to illustrate this drill in detail.

 Standing Baseball/Softball Drill

Do this drill for at least 15 minutes today, and remember it is very important when doing this drill that you keep doing the Day 9 drill.  I know I keep going on about doing this but it’s very important because as I’ve already said to you, what we want is an upright backswing and a flatter more inside out downswing, which will produce a draw.  Here’s a summary of what you should do today…

• Standing baseball/softball drill for at least 15 minutes
• Upright backswing drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 9)
• The Loop Drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 10)
• A few minutes of relaxed swinging with the exaggerated setup explained on Day 5

Tomorrow we’re going to carry on with the release part of the swing as it’s very, very important in determining whether or not you’re going to be drawing the ball at the end of all of this.  So see you back here tomorrow.

The Draw System – Day 14

Posted on 13. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 14 – The Release…Part 4 (Right Hander)

Today’s drill is great as it allows you to experience the sensation of swinging from the correct inside-to-outside swing path.  Plus it also gives you the feeling of good forearm rotation and extension through impact.  So here’s what you should practice today.

Day 14 Tasks

Grab one of your woods and tee up a ball quite high.  Now grip your club with your hands split apart on the grip.  Then place the clubhead on the ground about 2-3 feet behind the ball, but with the clubhead well on the inside of the target line (see picture 1 below).   From this start position, without moving the club backwards, simply sweep through and hit the ball finishing your swing about halfway into your follow through making sure that your right hand is above the left. (see pictures 2-3).

Split Handed Drill

Do this drill for at least 15 minutes today and remember to keep practicing the Day 9 drill and the Loop Drill (see Day 10), as they are very important.  Here’s a summary of what you should do today…

• Split handed drill for at least 15 minutes
• Upright backswing drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 9)
• The Loop Drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 10)
• A few minutes of relaxed swinging with the exaggerated setup explained on Day 5

Tomorrow we’re going to carry on with the release part of the swing as it’s a critical factor in determining whether or not you’re going to be drawing the ball at the end of all of this.  So I’ll see you back here tomorrow…

The Draw System – Day 15

Posted on 13. Oct, 2012 by Jay.

Day 15 – The Release…Part 5 (Right Hander)

Today’s drill is once again really, really simple as all you have to do is hit golf balls with your normal swing, BUT there is one big difference.  Read on to find out what it is…

Day 15 Tasks

The difference is that you hit golf balls from a sidehill lie.  And the lie must be one where the ball is above your feet.  Doing this naturally produces a more rounded downswing as well as helping you to release the club automatically.  When doing this drill don’t try to do anything mechanical, just swing naturally and the slope will guide and shape your swing.

Today is another important day when you must combine this drill with the upright backswing drill (see Day 9) and the loop drill (see Day 10), as today’s drill will not only help to flatten your downswing but it will also flatten your backswing.  But by doing the upright backswing drill and the loop drill after the sidehill lie drill you’ll be reinforcing what we want as the end result…a steeper backswing plane than the downswing plane.  So here’s some pictures of today’s drill.

Sidehill Lie Drill

To do this drill just find a side hill lie where the ball is well above your feet and hit balls or simply swing from this lie for 15 minutes.  And again, here’s another reminder – it’s very important when practicing this drill to afterwards do the Day 9 and Day 10 drills to keep your new upright backswing going.  Here’s a summary of what you should do today…

• Sidehill lie drill (with the ball well above your feet) for at least 15 minutes
• Upright backswing drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 9)
• The Loop Drill for at least 5 minutes (see Day 10)
• A few minutes of relaxed swinging with the exaggerated setup explained on Day 5

Tomorrow is the final series in the “release” part of this system, so have fun practicing today and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.
