Martee, thanks for sharing this drill! I think that it will provide great help and feedback for anyone trying to learn the RFP vs. shoulder turn. How long should the rubber hose be? How big (diameter)? I assume this is something you can get at any hardware store....

This is something I am trying to work on (RFP), since I now am way to inside on the startup and backstroke...sounds like a drill that would be good for me.

Thanks!

How long? How big in Diameter? Well the piece I use is about 8 feet in length and 3/8" in diameter. The tubing is one of those exercise tubes but without any handles. Now it don't have to be that long and for diameter I am guessing it can be a bit bigger.

Here is the length and it will vary a bit between golfers.

Place one end of the tube so the left foot covers (4"). Then while holding it with the right hand take your normal address position. Remove the slack out of tubing. I then make it taunt just a bit. The more taunt you make it from this position the more effort it will take to get it to the top.
So a 3 foot piece should to it for anyone.

There are other exercises/drills that can be done with this tubing. You can wrap it around the left shoulder and down the left arm. Practice the backstroke with holding it both hands or just the right hand, the tube should stay taunt -- Entensor action

Where is VICKIE???? I bet she can provide a few resistance exrecises using a tube. There are a few product out on the market that advocate resistance tubes. Golf Gym is one but there are others as well as just a good old piece of tubing.

I have found a number of them that are good for general conditioning and golf not to mention when you get a Yoda or Joe D. to provide you with some drills for speific golf functions. Heck Yoda who has a dowel rod in everyroom (no kidding) has a tubing set up in one room with a whole bunch of mirrors so when he walks by he just stops and does the drill for a few minutes, and is Always, Always Looking, Looking, Looking.
