Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
Provides negative feedback. If you leave the rod, you have early extended. Forces you to stay in posture.
How to Perform the Drill
The coach gives no set rep count. Our general guideline: 3 sets of 10 slow rehearsal reps, then half swings with a ball, adding speed only once the steps feel natural.
Stick alignment rod vertically in ground touching your tailbone at address.
Backswing: Wipe trail glute across the rod.
Transition: Separate knees without hips leaving the rod.
Impact: Push rod backward with lead glute. No 'daylight' allowed.
