1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
This drill is dropped to delivery.

2
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:13.200
So this drill is designed to get to work more on the rhythm of the arms being

3
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:14.080
soft as you

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.720
approach delivery position.

5
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:21.900
One of the common issues that I see is a lot of golfers who are doing delivery

6
00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:22.600
position

7
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.960
training get really active with the arms and by getting really active with the

8
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:28.440
arms it

9
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.210
either causes the club to steepen making it hard to get in delivery where it

10
00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:32.720
causes the

11
00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:36.320
club to widen making it hard to get in delivery.

12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.500
So we're going to work on dropping the arms into delivery position and feeling

13
00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:41.960
almost like

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.520
there's a little bit of bounciness to it where there's a drop and then a push

15
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:47.160
down at the

16
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:50.040
bottom kind of like this.

17
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:55.220
In fact, before doing this drill I like to have golfers do this kind of rhythm

18
00:00:55.220 --> 00:00:55.640
drill just

19
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:02.440
to feel a transition move so I can pull a little bit, especially with this lead

20
00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:03.040
side,

21
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:06.220
but I have to make sure that I still am in contact so that I can get the rhythm

22
00:01:06.220 --> 00:01:06.600
of that

23
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:11.560
push from right around belly button height through to that follow through.

24
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:16.730
So instead of just letting it drop with just the lead hand, now I'm going to

25
00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:17.520
put both hands

26
00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:20.200
on and I'm going to rehearse delivery position.

27
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.480
So as a quick refresher we're going to bring the arms out in front of us.

28
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.820
We're going to bend that right arm so that it's kind of in towards the belly

29
00:01:27.820 --> 00:01:28.640
button and

30
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.760
the lead arm is pointing away and we're going to add a little bit of a

31
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.240
motorcycle movement.

32
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:38.600
So this right here is where we're trying to get to at about mid downswing or a

33
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:39.200
little

34
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.480
bit past mid downswing kind of right around here.

35
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.460
So now what we're going to do is we're going to go up to the top of the swing

36
00:01:45.460 --> 00:01:46.320
and our arms

37
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:51.680
are going to try to just fall into that position as our body is turning out to

38
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:52.560
the way with

39
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.200
a little bit of pressure or weight shift into that front foot.

40
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.250
So I'm going to get up to the top, I'm going to shift into that front foot,

41
00:01:59.250 --> 00:01:59.960
turn the belly

42
00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:04.490
button out to the way and feel like those arms just fall into that delivery

43
00:02:04.490 --> 00:02:05.360
position.

44
00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:11.920
Now I want the fall to happen more from kind of the whole arm.

45
00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:17.080
I see some golfers almost like let go and the wrist gets really floppy.

46
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.170
Just because we're trying to have this feeling of the club falling doesn't mean

47
00:02:20.170 --> 00:02:20.520
we want

48
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.240
to completely lose control.

49
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.320
So I want to have just enough pressure so that I'm kind of holding on to it.

50
00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:34.010
If someone was to pull the club away from me, I would go with them but I wouldn

51
00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:34.680
't completely

52
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.880
let go of the club.

53
00:02:36.880 --> 00:02:41.000
Okay so we're going to do this as a pump version of the delivery drill.

54
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.270
So we're going to go up to the top and we're going to fall into this position,

55
00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:44.800
fall into

56
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.780
this position, fall and then release the arms down towards the bottom.

57
00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:55.800
When you actually go to hit it, the arm release will start a little bit before

58
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:56.520
you're getting

59
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.900
to that delivery position or the arm activation I should say will start before

60
00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:01.520
you get to

61
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.000
that delivery position.

62
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.710
But the intention of the drill is to delay it as long as possible because most

63
00:03:06.710 --> 00:03:07.080
of you

64
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:12.280
who need this drill are activating those arms right away from the top.

65
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.440
So let's do it again, we're going to get a little bounceier with it.

66
00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:21.320
So drop into that position, drop into that position, drop and go.

67
00:03:21.320 --> 00:03:27.140
And when you really get good at this drill, what you'll feel is there's a

68
00:03:27.140 --> 00:03:28.640
little bit of

69
00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:33.640
timing to the arm dropping and the pressure shift in that lead foot.

70
00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:40.940
So I'm going to try to feel like they're almost reaching this delivery position

71
00:03:40.940 --> 00:03:42.240
and this readiness

72
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.520
to fire at the same time.

73
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:52.890
So that takes a certain patience and coordination to this pattern where I'm

74
00:03:52.890 --> 00:03:54.440
waiting to fire but

75
00:03:54.440 --> 00:04:00.480
the lower body is acting in kind of a quick way while the arms are falling.

76
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:04.650
That's a really important key for a lot of golfers who struggle with the

77
00:04:04.650 --> 00:04:05.960
sequencing, who

78
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.040
really get early and active with the arms.

79
00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:12.890
And it's done right, it feels like the body and the arms are working together

80
00:04:12.890 --> 00:04:13.400
instead

81
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.800
of the arms doing one thing and the body doing another.

82
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.200
So let's do one more like that.

83
00:04:20.200 --> 00:04:23.560
So we're going to go up, we're going to try to, I don't know if you can see I'm

84
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:24.520
actually

85
00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:31.490
picking up that left foot so that I can feel an exaggeration of the timing of

86
00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:32.720
those two,

87
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:38.180
the arms falling and the lower body reaching it's kind of delivery position at

88
00:04:38.180 --> 00:04:38.840
the same

89
00:04:38.840 --> 00:04:40.040
time.

90
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:48.240
So let's go up, down, down, and then when we're in that down position, we're

91
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:48.440
just going

92
00:04:48.440 --> 00:04:52.000
to work on one of the release movements or try to get to a good follow through

93
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:52.800
position.

94
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.180
So if you're one of the type who struggles with the delivery position drills

95
00:04:56.180 --> 00:04:56.640
because

96
00:04:56.640 --> 00:05:00.710
you tend to get really active and pulling from the top, there's a rhythm drill

97
00:05:00.710 --> 00:05:01.240
that kind

98
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.610
of helps you soften those arms and get into the delivery position in a more

99
00:05:05.610 --> 00:05:06.360
effective

100
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.360
way.

101
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:15.740
Let's do one more without pausing.

102
00:05:15.740 --> 00:05:18.280
Ready to go play.
