00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080
This release drill is the delivery and go drill so you've been practicing with

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:10.240
the remote and you've been working on this delivery position and the delivery

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:15.240
position essentially is the end of transition. So if you remember the

4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.520
delivery position it's going to be palm facing up, palm facing away, left hand

5
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:23.120
puts it in place so the right hand has a little bit of a cup or extension the

6
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:29.240
left wrist has a little bit of flatness or flexion. From here I'm going to bend

7
00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:36.120
forward, here's my golf ball, so from this I'm going to bend forward so that

8
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:41.960
this forearm would be pointed in line with the golf ball. Then I'm going to

9
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.240
bump my hips so that my weight is in my left foot and I'm in my good impact

10
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:51.320
position and from here I'm simply going to extend my arms down. Now I'll

11
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.080
demonstrate that a couple times and then we'll talk through what it's doing. So

12
00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:03.720
stand up, delivery position, bend forward, cross, good, extending that right

13
00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:04.000
elbow

14
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.480
through a good impact position. You can combine this with the line drill if you

15
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:18.560
want, head, go like so. What this works for is this works on getting used to

16
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.080
having everything in close and the club up high before I release it down to the

17
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:28.880
golf ball. If you struggle with your transition or taking the divot after the

18
00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:32.720
ball or power, typically what's going to happen is you're going to get the club

19
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:36.720
very, very low to the ground here and then it's going to kind of sweep through

20
00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:42.040
with the ball with my arms fully extended. Lacking these levers and these

21
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:42.480
hinges

22
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.760
as I go through the ball is losing a big source of power and makes it harder to

23
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:51.960
have the bottom of my swing far enough forward to be really, really solid. So

24
00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:52.000
the

25
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.440
delivery and go drill kind of presets a really good transition and gets over

26
00:01:57.440 --> 00:02:04.520
this visual of having your hands ahead of the golf ball when you start to

27
00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:09.340
release. The first time that you do this, if you're used to flipping, as I did

28
00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:09.440
a

29
00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:14.640
little bit in that last one, if you're used to flipping what'll happen, is you

30
00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:14.640
'll

31
00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.240
get here and then to release you'll actually move the handle back like so

32
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:25.280
as opposed to just being here closing the face from that motorcycle move and

33
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.240
then extending down. So it's a good way to confront the fear of getting your

34
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.160
hands ahead of the golf ball and still trying to make solid contact because

35
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:39.160
that's usually the big barrier. The other thing is if you're used to flipping

36
00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:43.160
and you're a decent golfer, if you're used to scooping through your release and

37
00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:47.560
you're a decent golfer, it probably means that you stand up because when you

38
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:48.080
scoop

39
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:53.360
or release, that gets the club very far away from me. If I did that and my

40
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:53.680
upper

41
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.920
body was down towards the ground, I'd stick the club in the ground. So to get

42
00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:03.200
over the fear of sticking the club in the ground, you're gonna get in this

43
00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:06.880
delivery position, you're gonna get your chest very close to the golf ball and

44
00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:11.800
then you're just gonna go and you'll get used to hitting a shallow path into

45
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.480
the ball from your chest being very close which you'll think will make you

46
00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:21.600
steep. So I've used this a lot to overcome the visual barrier for scoopers and

47
00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:21.660
I

48
00:03:21.660 --> 00:03:25.160
think it'll help you with your game as well.
