00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.860
This video is delivery position defined.

2
00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:08.690
So within this transition section, you're going to hear me refer to delivery

3
00:00:08.690 --> 00:00:09.280
position,

4
00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:14.950
which is basically that moment in time when we're going from transition to the

5
00:00:14.950 --> 00:00:15.680
release

6
00:00:15.680 --> 00:00:20.480
or from building and creating power to starting to release that power.

7
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.330
Now on 3D, this position can be best characterized as the start of the release

8
00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:26.220
and the start

9
00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:32.140
of the release is essentially going to be when I've taken all the linear force

10
00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:32.600
that

11
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:38.560
I'm creating into this club and I'm going to start decreasing or decelerating

12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.080
the linear

13
00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:42.460
speed of the handle so that I can transfer it into rotation.

14
00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:47.610
That's some super techie stuff for basically once I've gone from kind of

15
00:00:47.610 --> 00:00:49.320
pulling to swinging.

16
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:54.670
So if I was to, if you were to refer to the head cover swings, you'll see that

17
00:00:54.670 --> 00:00:55.080
I'm going

18
00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:58.380
to create kind of a linear movement and then I'm going to turn it into this

19
00:00:58.380 --> 00:00:58.960
what we call

20
00:00:58.960 --> 00:00:59.960
angular movement.

21
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:04.740
Well, that blend or that point in time where it switches is what I refer to as

22
00:01:04.740 --> 00:01:04.920
delivery

23
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:05.920
position.

24
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.760
Now, there's a few kind of critical things that are happening right around the

25
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.320
time of

26
00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:13.840
when we get into this delivery position.

27
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:19.280
One is it's going to be, for most guys, it's going to be somewhere around here.

28
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.050
So they they frequently break the swing down into what's parallel to the ground

29
00:01:25.050 --> 00:01:25.400
.

30
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:31.040
It's somewhere in the middle between arm parallel and shaft parallel.

31
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.840
For pros, it's going to be closer to arm parallel or the shaft is typically

32
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:36.560
going to have more

33
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.760
hinge to it.

34
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.660
For amateurs, it's going to be closer to shaft last parallel.

35
00:01:41.660 --> 00:01:45.800
But ideally, we're trying to have it happen somewhat early.

36
00:01:45.800 --> 00:01:52.040
Now, what tends to trigger this change from applying force to now transferring

37
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:52.880
force during

38
00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:56.520
the release is there's going to be some changes in my body positions, there's

39
00:01:56.520 --> 00:01:57.120
going to be

40
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.240
some changes in what's going on with my arms, specifically my right arm.

41
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:07.390
So this is typically going to be when that right arm, from right about here,

42
00:02:07.390 --> 00:02:08.080
when that

43
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.960
right hand and right wrist is now going to start releasing this way.

44
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:18.960
So when it's going to start flexing, what a lot of golfers who do that too

45
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.040
early, you'll

46
00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:22.960
see that it doesn't quite line up with delivery position.

47
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.800
But for a lot of tour pros, that point in time of when it switches is when that

48
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:28.280
arm is

49
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:32.760
going to start extending and kind of really transferring that speed.

50
00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:36.160
The second piece is there's a bunch of things that happen with the upper body.

51
00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:40.220
With the upper body, I can look at going from what's called flexion to

52
00:02:40.220 --> 00:02:41.200
extension.

53
00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:45.760
So I'm bent here and I go backward or we can look at left to right.

54
00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:50.510
So during the early part of transition, I'm going to be staying left tilted and

55
00:02:50.510 --> 00:02:50.640
then at

56
00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:53.830
some point, I'm going to be switching to the right and we can look at another

57
00:02:53.830 --> 00:02:54.240
one which

58
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.040
would be lateral movement.

59
00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:59.520
So if we were looking at where my upper body is here, during transition, it's

60
00:02:59.520 --> 00:02:59.960
going to

61
00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:05.080
go slightly forward and then at some point, it starts to go backward.

62
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.040
Everybody's a little different, but we can use some of this information to

63
00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:08.560
figure out

64
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.200
how you're kind of organizing your swing.

65
00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:16.000
And what'll happen is this delivery position is when one of those things is

66
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.520
going to change.

67
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:22.880
Because in order to kind of release all that speed, my body is going to have to

68
00:03:22.880 --> 00:03:23.720
stabilize

69
00:03:23.720 --> 00:03:26.360
or move in the opposite direction of where it's going.

70
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:33.380
So this could be for some, it's when the left shoulder stops going or when you

71
00:03:33.380 --> 00:03:34.040
leave left

72
00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:35.840
tilt and you go to right tilt.

73
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.280
So for some, it'll be more this way.

74
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.040
For some, it'll be when the upper body is stopped shifting laterally towards

75
00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:43.480
the target

76
00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:45.800
and it starts shifting away.

77
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.990
And for others, it will be when I've stopped flexing forward during the down

78
00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:50.880
swing and I'm

79
00:03:50.880 --> 00:03:52.840
going to start standing up.

80
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:57.640
So each one, it just gives us an idea as far as how you're creating this

81
00:03:57.640 --> 00:03:58.520
release and how

82
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.240
you're organizing it, kind of what muscles and what movements.

83
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.280
But it's right around the time when all three of those change.

84
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:09.970
So we try to simplify it into kind of what those arms are doing and then the

85
00:04:09.970 --> 00:04:10.640
body is

86
00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:16.200
essentially doing this bracing movement that we talk about at the end of the

87
00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:17.200
release.

88
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:22.350
Well that bracing movement is going to start right around here during that

89
00:04:22.350 --> 00:04:23.920
delivery position.

90
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.860
So whether you want to call it the firm left side or bracing or stabilizing, it

91
00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:30.440
's all kind

92
00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:34.570
of referring to the same thing, this delivery position which is the blend

93
00:04:34.570 --> 00:04:36.160
between the transition

94
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:36.840
and the release.
