Okay, the golf draw the shot that you love to play is the one that — is the most desirable it’s the one that you might go, “Oh great shot.” That was a really good golf shot. I love the way it shaped and it’s going to help you hit it round doglegs is going to maximize the distance a little bit and I’m going to give you a drill to help you do that straight away. So the drill shot. I’m going to just aim for this tee peg just as if I was going this way just so you can see down the line here. I have got two tee pegs, so I’ve got the green one I’ve got the white one. Now a lot of — a lot of kind of thought in the process is aim your feet right, shot the face and I don’t really need to do that, self square okay, self completely square. You don’t have to do anything with the golf club, the grip, set your feet up square set the golf club straight to your target. Now all I’m going to get you to do with this green tee peg is swing just to the outside of it so just going to miss it to your kind of left hand side of the video there. As you come back you are going to change the direction at the top of the golf swing, you are going to feel as you sweeping that tee peg the green one, the white one and then the white one again so you going to go green, white, white and that’s going to get you a golf course swing more from the inside, so that is the first stage of it.
The next stage is to get your arms working better and get your release on the golf club better. Now there’s a lot talk about release, and turn your arm, flip your arm so that’s not what we are going to do today. I’m going to give you a drill it’s going to help you do that more effectively more efficiently. So as you hit one shift on that green, white, white you’re going to hit through and you going to get your right arm to cross over your left with the tee peg pointing back down at the golf ball, so you are not just going to flip the arms, you not just going to turn the arms, you’re going to go green, white, white and get your right arm extended and almost crossing over your left arm with the tee peg with the bottom end of the club pointing back down at the tee peg. Now if we give that a go and if we set up, so I’m going to go a margin green through the ball then white and just cross over those arms. That’s the wall and that just shapes so nicely straight down the fair way. As a rule what I found is that if you think about the actual crossing over element first, so I want you to think about that first as you swing from the inside that helps out so much better. That dog leg that you’ve been struggling with you will now not struggle anymore you going to hit it from right to left and get much closer to the green.
