Description: Load Phase Workout 1

This workout/routine will put a big emphasis on the load phase of the swing for anyone struggling in this area.

- Set up a foam roller, basketball, anything really that you can put on the outside portion of your knee. 
- Goes though your loading while keeping the object stuck between the wall and your knee. 
- The goal is to keep you knee in line with your toes when you load and your heel and foot anchored in the ground.

Constraint Loading

- Start with hips pointed 45 degrees at the tee 
- Step with back foot first towards the tee
- Pick up front foot allowing body to load/coil into back hip 
- Keep chest over the plate with a balanced swing

Walk Throughs

- Start with feet close together and in line or slightly behind the tee 
- Take a controlled step backwards allowing your body to load into the rear hip 
- Redirect energy back towards the ball and take a level balanced swing

Step Backs

- Start with front foot crossed over the back foot 
- Using the back leg to stride forward, hold the load created in the back leg while moving forward 
- Take level swing with balance at the end

Cross over starts

- Controlled underhand flips are a great tool to add movement to the pitch in a controlled environment while working on new swing changes and feels. 
- At this point of the workout, I want you to try a couple (or all if you’re feeling up for it) of the tee drills you were working on on the first few round or two of flips. 
- After the feels and mechanics round, go to closer to your game swing and set up/load while keeping in mind the feels you just created in previous drills. 
- REMEMBER- the goal is to get better at game like swings. Don’t get too caught up on the drills and try and use them to blend into your game swing! 💪🏼

Underhand Flips

- Time to compete!! 
- Game like mentality
- Game like loading and approach
- GOAL- Hit doubles and low line drives while blending in the new swing mechanics or feels you’re working on.
