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.

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.
