The reverse pump works on the positioning of the club during transition

The reverse pump drill is a way to practice the positioning of the club during transition. While the traditional pump drill focuses more on the timing and sequencing of transition, the reverse pump can work on the path of the actual club and help you unlock why you may be getting too inside, too steep, or struggling with the club getting open during the stage. By feeling a great transition, you will have a better chance to execute a solid release.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760
This transition drill video is the reverse pump.

2
00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:06.400
So the reverse pump is exactly what it sounds like.

3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.480
It's going from the checkpoint of shaft parallel

4
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.280
back up to the top of the swing

5
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:14.760
to kind of feel what it's like to shallow out the club.

6
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:18.200
So during the normal pump from the down the line,

7
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:20.520
I'm kind of practicing these arm movements,

8
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:23.280
but I'm focused more on this down movement.

9
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.160
So what we do in the reverse pump is we start

10
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.160
at where we think a good position would be here.

11
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.360
So if I was to kind of put a alignment stick on the ground,

12
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:39.760
get that even with my toes, hopefully pretty close

13
00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:42.280
to even with the camera.

14
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.320
I would want to make sure using those path checkpoints,

15
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.040
the club's slightly inside, this looks pretty good.

16
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:49.880
Now from here, what I want to do is

17
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.920
I want to go back up to the top of the swing

18
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.160
and then feel what would I do to get back down there.

19
00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:00.160
So the only difference between the pump and the reverse pump

20
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:01.120
is the starting position.

21
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:03.320
The starting position for the reverse pump

22
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.240
is this checkpoint where the starting position for the pump

23
00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:08.680
is more the top of the swing.

24
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.240
Having the different starting points

25
00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:12.800
helps you focus on two different things.

26
00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:14.520
If the starting position is the top of the swing

27
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:16.600
as in the normal pump, that's going

28
00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:20.480
to allow you to focus on kind of the relaxing of your body

29
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.040
and the feeling of your, or sorry, the relaxing of your arms

30
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.760
and the feeling of your body kind of powering

31
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.560
that early part of the swing.

32
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.400
If you focus on this position, then that's

33
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.560
going to focus more on the positional shift

34
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.040
or the shallowing and the kind of this overall position

35
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.200
and how we get there from the top of the swing.

36
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.720
What you may find is that from the top of the swing,

37
00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.440
I want to start rotating or I want to start standing up

38
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:47.880
and both of those are going to make it hard for me

39
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:49.600
to hit this checkpoint.

40
00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:54.160
So the reverse pump is find that checkpoint,

41
00:01:54.160 --> 00:01:56.200
pump it a couple times down through there,

42
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.400
and then try and brush the ground a few times.

43
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.880
Once you have a good sensation of this reverse checkpoint

44
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:04.640
and brushing the ground, you can go ahead

45
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.880
and try and take a swing, brush the ground,

46
00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:09.000
and let the ball get in the way.
