00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880
This drill is the delivery position drill, and it's more of a concept drill, so

2
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:05.000
as

3
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.560
you see, instead of having a golf club, I've got our trusty remote control so

4
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:13.000
that you can practice when you're watching the Haney project. You're gonna

5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.880
hold on to the golf club or the remote essentially like it's a golf club, okay?

6
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:22.080
So if you recall the steps in the grip drill, obviously it's bigger than the

7
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:25.440
grip and we're not really focused on it, but try to get it as close to your

8
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:25.720
normal

9
00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:30.480
grip as possible. So from here, what we're gonna do is you're gonna have the

10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:30.960
the

11
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.920
golf club or the remote straight up in front of you, and then you're gonna

12
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:40.720
practice putting your right elbow towards your side, letting your hands

13
00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:45.360
rotate or your arms rotate, and getting the remote control facing away from you

14
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:45.360
.

15
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:51.760
So we're just gonna practice going from here to here, just like so. That

16
00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:57.640
movement is essentially an exaggeration of what will happen as I go in

17
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.920
transition if you see if I were to stand up. This is that delivery position or

18
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:08.020
shot put position that we're gonna try to get into. This sets you up for a

19
00:01:08.020 --> 00:01:08.440
really

20
00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:14.320
good release where what we typically see with most amateurs is the arms are

21
00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:17.960
going to extend like so, so that would look like this. You can see how from

22
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:18.560
here I

23
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.880
still haven't released a lot of my power, so it saves it for when I do the

24
00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:27.320
release phase. When it's gone out more like this, I've pretty much used up

25
00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:31.040
everything that's in my arms, and then I have to use all the big muscles in my

26
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.360
body to square the club phase. So to get over that habit and work on this

27
00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:36.720
really

28
00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:41.960
good transition of the bump and the delivery position, you're gonna practice

29
00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:46.840
with the TV remote, elbow towards your side just like so. So elbow is going

30
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:47.000
right

31
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.800
towards your right hip, hands are rotating away just like this. I'll show

32
00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:57.000
it from this view a couple times so you can see from this view I want you to

33
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:57.200
see

34
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.880
how this left wrist is getting a little bit of a bow in it because at this

35
00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:01.240
point

36
00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:05.160
in the swing that left wrist will be bowing in order to square the club phase

37
00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:13.000
if you remember from the concept video. So it's the trail arm or the delivery

38
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.320
position drill. You can use the TV remote, a sharpie, anything that's lying

39
00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:17.640
around.

40
00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:21.440
Try to get a few reps in while you're working in this phase during each

41
00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:25.040
commercial break and it'll really help it translate into the transition move

42
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:27.680
during your swing.
