One Leg Progressive Drill Sequence (What to focus on while drilling)

- My take on the best 'drill thoughts' (think: swing thoughts) as you move through the one leg drill progression.
This new way of structuring learning to brace well was heavily influence by working with Brian Weissman on his approach (The Method) which clued me in to the full importance of the rear side.
Teaser: I was not quite thinking about the motion of the rear hip enough and in my throw and my coaching I haven't addressed that yet. My rear hip and my momentum as a whole tends to get too stuck behind the brace. This was an over reaction to the usual too much spin out beyond the brace. Some new cues from another coach (Lee) involved with developing The Method have made me rethink the rear hip again and I think I'm on track to finally have a throw I'm proud of that is not too far towards either end of being out of balance... update incoming!
It's like you're in my brain. Every video is always on time with my progression and ultimately what I need to hear. I think we are finally getting to the meat and potatoes of getting to what the pros do. Thanks for your work!
Thank you! Glad its confirming your experience. And yea I feel like we are super close to actually understanding whats going on... the next bit is good too! Rear hip matters, who knew?
Great work on sharing your journey with us. As a Patreon member the info is starting to sink in and make a difference. Just the brace info alone helped my game this weekend. Definitely a paradigm shift but starting to see the fruits of this method.
Thanks John! I feel like Im starting to be able to explain it simply… thanks to folks like you allowing me to teach.
This drill immediately makes my brace feel better. Great cues! I’m coming from a brace that would sometimes pop my foot off the ground while releasing, making me think I wasn’t the right muscles. Going to rep this!
Well you are using the right muscles if you have a hop. But most likely your hips are getting too far forward (vertical over your brace foot) while your front knee extends. So rather than the front leg resisting forward motion of the front hip, it pushes both hips up. Your brace is late because your hips slip forward too much.
@@_TDG Got it! This drill has helped me to feel grounded - I definitely was too far forward before with my hips.
Great presentation - I love how you are thinking through this out loud - it really helps it sink in for me. "Blasting past your brace" ... Yes! that's me, I've done that a lot. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the shoulder and hip coil fits into this. I'm struggling to get a drill to get myself coiling at the right time that feels natural.
Awesome, Thanks!
I think of hip coil as you are coiling into the rear hip, while the x step foot is down, by folding into that hip crease and moving that hip socket towards its own glute. Then the front hip does the same thing and you fold into the front hip crease as the brace knee extends. Look up Mike Malaskas video, I think its called 'how to move the hips'. Same idea...
Great video. Can you talk about the power pocket more, Overthrow just did that video on needing to get the arm forward ahead of the body. So how do you start with hips/plant then move the arm after without the arm dragging/collapsing into the body? I've found I need to actively pull the arm forward to avoid collapsing. I taught myself to be loose but that led to arm collapse. I think I need to pull the arm faster/sooner honestly since I still collapse. Great video, love the way you teach!
Yea. I think ‘pull arm sooner’ is probly a good cue. ‘Lag’ is not this then that than this. Everything kinda starts at once, lag is just giving the kinetic chain time to do its thing with our rushing power to the end by over using the shoulder.
My trebuchet drill and Jaani’s (Spin Dr.) cook the spaghetti drill are the best ways to feel the arm we want. They both focus on driving the elbow forward with shoulder muscle while keeping the elbow and below loose.
hip doing a "J" is an interesting cue
That idea is from one or two loopghost videos. I can dig them up if you want links.... Pretty sure one is the one in his front yard (looks like it) standing next to a basket with a hockey stick on his shoulders at one point.
