Introduction
A training drill that teaches players how to shift between standing, crouched, and compact positions with smooth, controlled transitions to improve balance and stability.
Key Points
- Reinforces smooth posture transitions.
- Builds lower body stability during height changes.
- Improves balance when moving between stances.
- Reduces instability during elevation shifts.
- Prepares players for dynamic movement drills.
Details
This drill focuses on training controlled elevation changes important for moving efficiently around bunkers or adjusting posture for better viewing angles.
Players begin in a standing stance, then lower gradually into a crouch using controlled hip and knee movement. After holding briefly, they transition back to standing.
Next, players lower further into a compact, low profile stance, ensuring the torso stays upright and balanced.
Each transition emphasizes smooth movement rather than speed. The marker should remain steady throughout, avoiding sudden dips or rises.
Practicing controlled transitions builds balance, mechanical predictability, and strength for more advanced drills requiring rapid movement changes.
