00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
The drill is the golf cart pump. So the pump drill is a way to kind of practice the

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
transition and really feel kind of what muscles are powering or or creating this

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
initial drive of the swing. So I'm going to use the seat cushion on the passenger side

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
of the golf cart for right hand to golfer to help activate some of these muscles.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
So I'm not going to need my club for this, but I'm going to get into my golf

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
posture so that it's just in front of me just like so. Then I'm going to go up to the

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
top of my swing and I'm going to bring my arms down, but my arms are coming down

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
because I've bumped my hips and started the rotate. So I've got my arms up against

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
the golf cart like so. Now I do this a lot for my students where I'll have them go up

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
and I'll put my hands on the inside of their elbow and the inside of their forearms

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
kind of like so. And I will physically feel for resistance. And what I'm feeling for is I'm feeling

00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
for no activity in the arms versus early activation or early contraction in the arms.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
The arms really shouldn't get too active until I start to go into that release. They

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
should kind of be falling or have the same feeling as if I was throwing a ball like that

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
same level of activation. So I'm going to get back into this and I'm going to pump it down

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
and basically what I'm trying to feel is I'm trying to feel like my my core and my ribs and

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:29,000
my legs are kind of all driving my arms down towards the ball instead of just pulling my arms

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
down towards the ball. So if I pull like this I'll feel it very much in my shoulders. If I kind of

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,000
turn through and let this right side work down towards the golf ball that would end up looking

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
like this which is essentially what we're trying to train. You want to hold this for about five

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
seconds just to kind of activate the muscles and then you can pick up your club and try to use

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
that feeling while you're working on the pump drill while you're working on your transition.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So there's a great way to activate the right muscles and give you kind of a really strong feeling

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
of what we want to do during your stock swing.
