00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.580
This drill is delivery and go. Now delivery and go builds on the delivery
2
00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:09.240
position drill so if you're unfamiliar with delivery position please watch that
3
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:14.600
drill first. Delivery and go takes the delivery position and blends it into the
4
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:19.200
release. It's one of my favorite drills for helping work on early extension or
5
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:24.200
having your arms too straight too soon in the downswing or during the release.
6
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:29.880
So if you have the tendency to either stand up or get your arms to release
7
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:34.840
more behind your body like so delivering go could be the best drill for you. To
8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.280
execute delivery and go you're basically going to get into that good delivery
9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:43.440
position and then you're going to bend forward past your setup position. So if
10
00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:47.040
my normal setup position is kind of right about here I'm probably going to get
11
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:47.240
an
12
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:52.480
inch or two closer to the golf ball. So you go here down to that good inch or
13
00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.200
two closer to the golf ball. Now from here I'm going to try to make solid
14
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:01.000
contact with the golf ball without taking any backswing because what happens is
15
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.400
if you take a backswing that's going to give me some slack and some area for me
16
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:10.920
to release my hands early. So if I get in this good delivery position with my
17
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:11.200
hands
18
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:16.240
just about even with the golf ball then from here I'm going to extend my arms
19
00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:21.200
but allow my body to have my arms while they're extending working slightly in.
20
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:31.320
So from the down the line view it ends up looking something like that. From the
21
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:37.600
face-on view we'll show each I'm going to get into my good delivery position
22
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.240
just
23
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:44.360
like so and then from here I'm going to extend my arms as my body turns through
24
00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:48.840
the shot. I'm also going to have a little bit of this push from the lead leg to
25
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:54.880
try to get my upper body to stabilize or to brace. If you're unfamiliar with
26
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:55.040
that
27
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.640
feel free to watch the follow through bracing video but this delivery and go
28
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.640
is one of my favorite combination drills for working on the overall kind of
29
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:09.400
position and feelings of where your body is going to be at the time when your
30
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:14.960
arms release. The common mistakes that I see are you're going to get in this
31
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.880
position and then you're going to swing back and release early just like so or
32
00:02:19.880 --> 00:02:24.320
you're going to get in this position and you're not going to let your arms work
33
00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:28.960
kind of in and left or in and up. What you're going to end up doing is you're
34
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.560
just going to continue your arms going down you'll end up hitting really fat
35
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:39.600
really steep shots. So what delivery and go does is by forcing you to be closer
36
00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:45.000
to the golf ball with your hands even with the golf ball, it forces you to
37
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:45.280
learn
38
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.640
the proper hand path so that you can extend your arms and not slam the club
39
00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:54.680
into the ground. It's one of my favorite drills for overcoming a lot of issues
40
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:55.280
if
41
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.360
you're working on finding the right position for your impact and how your
42
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.320
arms are going to work through the release I recommend this drill.
43
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:13.680
So stand up, delivery position, bend forward from here, release. So stand up,
44
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:20.480
delivery position, bend forward, release.
45
00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:30.080
Let me show one that's not good. So here and then my arms continue down you'll
46
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.120
hear that I hit that fat.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.580

position drill so if you're unfamiliar with delivery position please watch that

drill first. Delivery and go takes the delivery position and blends it into the
4
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:19.200
release. It's one of my favorite drills for helping work on early extension or
5
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:24.200
having your arms too straight too soon in the downswing or during the release.
6
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:29.880
So if you have the tendency to either stand up or get your arms to release
7
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:34.840
more behind your body like so delivering go could be the best drill for you. To
8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.280
execute delivery and go you're basically going to get into that good delivery
9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:43.440
position and then you're going to bend forward past your setup position. So if
10
00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:47.040
my normal setup position is kind of right about here I'm probably going to get
11
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:47.240
an
12
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:52.480
inch or two closer to the golf ball. So you go here down to that good inch or
13
00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.200
two closer to the golf ball. Now from here I'm going to try to make solid
14
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:01.000
contact with the golf ball without taking any backswing because what happens is
15
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.400
if you take a backswing that's going to give me some slack and some area for me
16
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:10.920
to release my hands early. So if I get in this good delivery position with my
17
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:11.200
hands
18
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:16.240
just about even with the golf ball then from here I'm going to extend my arms
19
00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:21.200
but allow my body to have my arms while they're extending working slightly in.
20
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:31.320
So from the down the line view it ends up looking something like that. From the
21
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:37.600
face-on view we'll show each I'm going to get into my good delivery position
22
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.240
just
23
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:44.360
like so and then from here I'm going to extend my arms as my body turns through
24
00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:48.840
the shot. I'm also going to have a little bit of this push from the lead leg to
25
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:54.880
try to get my upper body to stabilize or to brace. If you're unfamiliar with
26
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:55.040
that
27
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.640
feel free to watch the follow through bracing video but this delivery and go
28
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.640
is one of my favorite combination drills for working on the overall kind of
29
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:09.400
position and feelings of where your body is going to be at the time when your
30
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:14.960
arms release. The common mistakes that I see are you're going to get in this
31
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.880
position and then you're going to swing back and release early just like so or
32
00:02:19.880 --> 00:02:24.320
you're going to get in this position and you're not going to let your arms work
33
00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:28.960
kind of in and left or in and up. What you're going to end up doing is you're
34
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.560
just going to continue your arms going down you'll end up hitting really fat
35
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:39.600
really steep shots. So what delivery and go does is by forcing you to be closer
36
00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:45.000
to the golf ball with your hands even with the golf ball, it forces you to
37
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:45.280
learn
38
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.640
the proper hand path so that you can extend your arms and not slam the club
39
00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:54.680
into the ground. It's one of my favorite drills for overcoming a lot of issues
40
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:55.280
if
41
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.360
you're working on finding the right position for your impact and how your
42
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.320
arms are going to work through the release I recommend this drill.
43
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:13.680
So stand up, delivery position, bend forward from here, release. So stand up,
44
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:20.480
delivery position, bend forward, release.
45
00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:30.080
Let me show one that's not good. So here and then my arms continue down you'll
46
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.120
hear that I hit that fat.
