00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
This drill is combining delivery and go with the delivery pump so frequently I

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:06.520
'll

3
00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:11.760
combine drills in order to kind of give the brain two different ends of a

4
00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:17.200
movement, work on how they relate to each other, ultimately help turn a

5
00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:17.880
specific

6
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:24.000
drill into more of a playing feel. So one of the common ones that I'll use is

7
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.980
using a delivery and go drill with a delivery and pump drill. So basically one

8
00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:35.480
of the common times that I'll use this is if we're doing delivery position so

9
00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:39.000
we're working on either having a little bit more wipe, we're working on the

10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:39.540
timing

11
00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:43.720
of the trail arm, we're working on early extension. There's kind of this midway

12
00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:50.040
point between the transition and the release that can be a good little anchor

13
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:55.560
for the brain to build the pattern around when you're practicing. So frequently

14
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.890
what I'll do is I'll, let's say, we're working on that delivery position so I

15
00:00:59.890 --> 00:01:00.180
'll

16
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:04.560
do a handful of delivery and go and I'll just get used to what it's going to be

17
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:09.680
like to make contact with the ground or the ball when my elbow is a little bit

18
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:14.520
more in front of my body instead of straight to my side if I'm used to making

19
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:20.400
contact kind of like that. So okay, I get this feeling, get into that position

20
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:20.640
and

21
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:25.080
I hit some balls kind of feeling the timing, feeling that delivery and go move.

22
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:29.720
Well now I might have a little bit of trouble taking that to a full swing. So

23
00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:34.520
then I would go to the opposite end and I would do some of the delivery pump.

24
00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:35.160
So

25
00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:40.040
I'd go up to the top of the swing and then I'd work down into that delivery

26
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.600
position and then feel the delivery and go from there. So sometimes working on

27
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:48.800
both ends of the movement with that little reference in between helps the

28
00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:55.610
brain turn it into a whole combination. So this is one of my most common

29
00:01:55.610 --> 00:01:56.360
patterns

30
00:01:56.360 --> 00:02:00.200
to use either let's do a little release, let's do a little transition and then

31
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.000
let's do one where we try to build them together. The times where this works

32
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.280
really well are if you have an early straightening of that right arm, if you

33
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.280
tend to have a little bit more of a forward lunge or the upper body tends to

34
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.160
kind of lean towards the target to start the downswing, this delivery and go

35
00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:20.440
and

36
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:26.200
delivery pump can work well there or if you have early extension. So if my body

37
00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:30.520
is standing up my arm is going to have to straighten to adjust for either the

38
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.840
rib cage getting in the way or the shoulder being further away from the

39
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.640
golf ball than you're used to. So you basically would take three balls to do

40
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:46.800
kind of one rep one set you would do one where you focus on the delivery and go

41
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.320
drill and then another one where you focus on the delivery pump and then the

42
00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:57.520
last one where you would focus on more of the feeling of integrating those two

43
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:04.840
into your stock normal swing. So demonstrating, here's my delivery and then

44
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:12.680
from here I'm just going to go not too bad. Now from here I'm going to do a few

45
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:18.760
of these kind of delivery pumps good and then I'm gonna make one swing trying

46
00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:18.840
to

47
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:26.160
kind of combine the two of those into a more of a playing feel giving me some

48
00:03:26.160 --> 00:03:30.600
sensory awareness as far as what my elbow might be doing in this way. So use

49
00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:34.880
that recipe if you're struggling with getting the arms too soon not enough

50
00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:40.400
power from the body early extension. This is a great combo pattern for working

51
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:40.560
on

52
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.800
kind of getting a good playing feel but breaking the swing into its two major

53
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.800
components and then seeing how they fit together.
