Delivery Pump Drill

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.260
Okay this is the pump drill. This is a drill that's been around for a while.

2
00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:09.180
The first person I remembered using it was David Ledbetter. Basically what

3
00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:13.380
we're going to do is we're going to practice that transition sequence with a

4
00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:17.440
club and we're going to do it a couple times and on the third time we're going

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.180
to go through and try to get to impact position. Now we're not going to try to

6
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:24.900
manipulate it we're just going to let it go and hope that we kind of have

7
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:25.220
trained

8
00:00:25.220 --> 00:00:29.100
that enough because remember it's not about what you know about the golf swing

9
00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:33.640
is what you've trained. So the pump drill you're gonna take your normal set up

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:38.280
with the good hip hinge. We're gonna go to the top of the backswing which at

11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:38.400
this

12
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:42.000
point you're just going to do whatever feels somewhat comfortable. So you're

13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.280
gonna go to the top of the backswing you're gonna do that transition movement

14
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:52.200
just like so a few times and then on the third time you're gonna let go and let

15
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.120
everything let whatever happens happen but you're gonna basically swing towards

16
00:00:56.120 --> 00:01:00.440
the wall. So this is practicing that transition sequence in movement but we

17
00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:04.800
do it as a pump to help you with kind of the rhythm of the and the timing of it

18
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:08.120
so that you can get used to how this full swing is gonna feel differently than

19
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.480
what you're currently doing. So I'll demonstrate it a couple times again just

20
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.560
for visual purposes not saying that it's the perfect model just saying this is

21
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:16.940
my

22
00:01:16.940 --> 00:01:21.900
representation of it. Your job is to practice at home or at the range and

23
00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:26.160
apply it into your swing. This will help you with the timing and the tempo of

24
00:01:26.160 --> 00:01:32.180
transition. Now one last little piece what I typically see when I do this in

25
00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:37.940
clinics is when you do this pump drill you notice how my right elbow stays in

26
00:01:37.940 --> 00:01:43.500
towards my side for the majority of the downswing or until I get all the way

27
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:47.820
down to this release position that we'll talk about in the next section. What I

28
00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:55.160
typically see in the clinics is even if you're trying to I will warn you and at

29
00:01:55.160 --> 00:01:59.460
least half the clinic participants will still extend that right arm straight

30
00:01:59.460 --> 00:01:59.660
from

31
00:01:59.660 --> 00:02:03.900
the top of the swing. If you remember the right arm is actually gonna be coming

32
00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:04.420
in.

33
00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:09.300
This is one of the big things that we talked about in the tempo section that

34
00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:13.820
gives the appearance of smooth tempo is having this proper timing of when the

35
00:02:13.820 --> 00:02:19.910
arms extend. So keep that in mind work on the few pieces so what the arms do

36
00:02:19.910 --> 00:02:20.500
the

37
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:25.220
little body bump and the spine and chunk those together into one movement and

38
00:02:25.220 --> 00:02:28.980
you're gonna rehearse that movement a few times before you actually let it go.

39
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:34.500
So I'll hit a couple and you'll be able to use it as a reference again not a

40
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:39.100
model of perfection just my representation of the drill.

41
00:02:43.820 --> 00:03:05.820
