In this quick video Tony's instruct Boyd Summerhays indicates us one in every of Tony's energy drills.
Hitting an impact bag like this is a not unusual impact drill. (When Carl Rabito taught me the fundamentals, an effect drill like this became one of the drills he had me do.) You don't have to buy a bag, btw -- you could take a drawstring bag and stuff it full of old towels and rags. You'll get the equal end result.
Anyway, the cause of this drill is to train you a way to use your fingers and frame collectively. When a player's body receives beforehand in their hands, they regularly say they've "gotten caught," and whilst their hands get in advance of their body, they "turn" their arms. In a well sequenced swing, the fingers live pretty lots targeted in the front of the chest from midway inside the downswing to midway into the finish.
You don't have to swing as hard as you could. Just make a smooth swing, and try to carry most of the clubhead velocity you created simply before you hit the bag into the end. (That bag's gonna be heavier than you anticipate, and it's going to try to stop you. Just observe how a good deal it slows Tony down!) Obviously the bag goes to stop your swing, but you're seeking to maintain going.
Don't reverse pivot when you do this drill. Try to feel as if you're hitting through the bag, not bouncing off it!
LIke I said, this is a commonplace drill however, in this high-tech age, now and again we need to be reminded that older drills are nevertheless effective. Tony's bag drill is an amazing example of this fact.
