00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.740
The drill is the distance wedge pump.

2
00:00:02.740 --> 00:00:06.580
So you know that I'm a big fan of the pump drills for kind of tricking the

3
00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:07.080
brain into

4
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:08.600
doing what you want it to do.

5
00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:13.940
It kind of overrides your natural hit instinct, it overrides your automatic

6
00:00:13.940 --> 00:00:14.800
pattern and allows

7
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.360
you to focus a little bit more on new mechanics.

8
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:21.920
Well, there are some differences in the distance wedge compared to the full

9
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:22.520
swing.

10
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:27.380
So working on, let's say, the delivery pump, we've got to make some adaptations

11
00:00:27.380 --> 00:00:27.680
.

12
00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:31.990
So in this video, I'm going to walk you through the few changes that are going

13
00:00:31.990 --> 00:00:32.560
to happen when

14
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.480
we start moving into the shorter irons where we want more of the cast pattern

15
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:37.000
and less

16
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.000
of the powerful tour pattern.

17
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.470
So when I'm doing the distance wedge, or let's revisit the full swing or the

18
00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:47.600
tour pump, when

19
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.940
I go up to the delivery pump, I'm basically trying to kind of get my arms in

20
00:00:52.940 --> 00:00:53.680
delivery

21
00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:57.330
position where they're nice and loaded, I've got lots of rotational lag and the

22
00:00:57.330 --> 00:00:58.000
motorcycle

23
00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.000
is taking place.

24
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.300
Well, I'm still going to have a little bit of the motorcycle or club face

25
00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:03.040
closing, but

26
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.070
instead of being in this position, that right arm is going to be close to

27
00:01:07.070 --> 00:01:08.000
straight and the

28
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.240
club is going to be out in front of you.

29
00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:14.550
This is what many golfers feel in their transition with the full swing, but

30
00:01:14.550 --> 00:01:15.560
this is closer to

31
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.960
what we want to feel with the distance wedge.

32
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:22.760
So I'm kind of getting into that movement there.

33
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:28.110
Now if I was to make my same Jackson 5 merry go round and do that movement, I

34
00:01:28.110 --> 00:01:28.880
would bottom

35
00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:32.440
out a good 8 inches behind the golf ball.

36
00:01:32.440 --> 00:01:36.090
So what I have to do differently is I have to support it with more of a cast

37
00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:36.600
pivot, which

38
00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:42.540
is going to be a little bit more up, back, and forward with the upper body, not

39
00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:43.160
so much

40
00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:45.160
of a drive from the lower body.

41
00:01:45.160 --> 00:01:51.020
So it'll look, here's kind of that pump movement with the arms, and then I'm

42
00:01:51.020 --> 00:01:52.140
going to balance

43
00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:58.460
it by a little bit more of an up and forward movement.

44
00:01:58.460 --> 00:01:59.460
That one was pretty good.

45
00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:03.020
The one before it, you could tell I had a little bit more of that Jackson 5

46
00:02:03.020 --> 00:02:03.760
just because

47
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.820
I had been rehearsing it and talking about it.

48
00:02:06.820 --> 00:02:11.290
And that's one of my natural strengths, so I have to focus on it a bit more in

49
00:02:11.290 --> 00:02:11.800
order

50
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.860
to do the distance wedge version.

51
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:18.680
So if we're doing that distance wedge pump, we're going to pump this a few

52
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:19.380
times, this

53
00:02:19.380 --> 00:02:25.300
a few times, that was a little bit more leading edge than I would like.

54
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:28.900
It wasn't too bad of a shot, except I hit it a little high on the face so it

55
00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:29.340
kind of

56
00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:33.540
ran when it landed and I took a little more divot than I would like.

57
00:02:33.540 --> 00:02:37.020
So we'll see if we can do it a bit better.

58
00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:42.470
So I'm going to create more of that pump with my vertical and with my body

59
00:02:42.470 --> 00:02:43.420
feeling like

60
00:02:43.420 --> 00:02:49.450
it goes like the right shoulder kind of stays high and gets a little bit more

61
00:02:49.450 --> 00:02:50.460
forward.

62
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:57.380
So pump, pump, that was a little bit better there.

63
00:02:57.380 --> 00:03:00.860
That ball is going to sit a bit more.

64
00:03:00.860 --> 00:03:05.380
Still took a little divot, which isn't bad for these shots.

65
00:03:05.380 --> 00:03:08.140
We'll do one more.

66
00:03:08.140 --> 00:03:10.740
See if we can put it all together.

67
00:03:10.740 --> 00:03:16.770
So there's kind of my pump movement and then on that last one, I'm just going

68
00:03:16.770 --> 00:03:18.260
to stay forward

69
00:03:18.260 --> 00:03:23.600
as my body rotates while letting my cast finish, but not letting the club

70
00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:24.500
really pass

71
00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:25.500
my body.

72
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:30.540
So not really a flip, just more of a cast.

73
00:03:30.540 --> 00:03:37.580
Good, that one was pretty good right there.

74
00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:40.590
So if you're working on your distance wedge, you have to adapt the pump if you

75
00:03:40.590 --> 00:03:41.140
're trying

76
00:03:41.140 --> 00:03:45.100
to make some of these changes feel comfortable when you're doing pump drills to

77
00:03:45.100 --> 00:03:45.740
work on either

78
00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:50.340
transition or low point control when you're training your distance wedge.

79
00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:55.680
So the distance wedge pump, you won't see nearly as much body rotation from the

80
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:56.100
down

81
00:03:56.100 --> 00:03:57.100
the line.

82
00:03:57.100 --> 00:04:02.440
My body is going to work on going a little bit more taller and forward and a

83
00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:03.300
little bit

84
00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:09.380
up, it's not going to have a whole lot of lag and lean.

85
00:04:09.380 --> 00:04:15.340
Up, up, kind of like that.
