1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.540
This drill is broken transition, so broken transition is very similar to the

2
00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:06.560
pump drill,

3
00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:11.360
except instead of kind of going through the rhythm of kind of the movement that

4
00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:11.500
you're

5
00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:15.570
trying to work on and then hitting it, so just as a reminder, the pump drill

6
00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:16.020
would be

7
00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:20.100
kind of a one, two, where I get to practice that transition a couple times and

8
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.180
then go.

9
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:25.450
A broken transition is going to force you to do whatever movement you're

10
00:00:25.450 --> 00:00:26.420
working on and

11
00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:28.260
then go ahead and swing through.

12
00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:34.320
So the pump drill looks like this, where I pump and then I swing through trying

13
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.040
to recreate

14
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:37.040
the same motion.

15
00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:41.210
The broken transition is basically, I'm going to, like let's say I'm working on

16
00:00:41.210 --> 00:00:42.020
this Jackson

17
00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:46.520
five during my transition, so I'm working on the direction that my hips are

18
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:47.180
going, kind

19
00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:49.780
of like so.

20
00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:55.450
So now a pump would be I'm going to Jackson five, Jackson five, go, broken

21
00:00:55.450 --> 00:00:56.380
transition

22
00:00:56.380 --> 00:01:01.500
would be I'm going to Jackson five, and then I'm going to try and find impact

23
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:02.340
or contact

24
00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:06.220
with the ground without going back up.

25
00:01:06.220 --> 00:01:10.350
I'm definitely not going to be able to hit it as far, and the timing is going

26
00:01:10.350 --> 00:01:10.860
to feel

27
00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:15.630
a little bit weird, but for training positions, this can be a great way to

28
00:01:15.630 --> 00:01:16.740
overcome being

29
00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:20.170
uncomfortable with certain movements, whether it would be what the arms are

30
00:01:20.170 --> 00:01:20.780
doing, whether

31
00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:23.680
it would be kind of the chest getting closer to the ground, whether it would be

32
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:24.220
this Jackson

33
00:01:24.220 --> 00:01:28.840
five, any of the big pieces of transition, you can work with either the pump or

34
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:29.420
the broken

35
00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:31.060
transition.

36
00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:35.060
The hard thing about transition is because it's kind of a loading thing and not

37
00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:35.500
a whole

38
00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:39.980
lot is going on, it's hard to do really short versions of transition.

39
00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:44.190
So you pretty much have to take full swings or full distance swings, you can

40
00:01:44.190 --> 00:01:44.820
slow down

41
00:01:44.820 --> 00:01:48.260
tempo a little bit, but you have to take full swings in order to work on

42
00:01:48.260 --> 00:01:48.780
transition.

43
00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:52.440
So the two best ways that you can work on it are either with the pump drill or

44
00:01:52.440 --> 00:01:53.060
with broken

45
00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:56.720
transitions, if you're working more on the timing, I recommend the pump drill,

46
00:01:56.720 --> 00:01:57.140
if you're

47
00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:01.400
working more on these positions, I recommend broken transition to get over that

48
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:01.900
hump.
