00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.800
This concept video is monitoring your core tension in delivery position.
2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.950
So the reason this is a concept video is it kind of applies to a bunch of
3
00:00:12.950 --> 00:00:13.540
drills.
4
00:00:13.540 --> 00:00:17.890
Whenever you're working on delivery position, you want to monitor the tension
5
00:00:17.890 --> 00:00:18.680
in your core
6
00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:19.720
in that position.
7
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:25.780
I often see golfers in person or when they submit things online or post them to
8
00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:27.320
the forum,
9
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.860
they're trying to get into delivery position and it'll look something like this
10
00:00:31.860 --> 00:00:32.180
.
11
00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:36.220
And on paper, looking at the camera, you'll say, "Hey, that's not too bad."
12
00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:39.820
But if you looked from the down the line, my chest and my hips are pointing in
13
00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:40.440
the same
14
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.120
direction and I don't really have any tension in my core.
15
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:49.510
The goal is to have some tension in the core that I can then release as I'm
16
00:00:49.510 --> 00:00:50.320
doing the arm
17
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.320
release.
18
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.880
If I don't have any tension, then I'm going to be forced to just hit it.
19
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.840
It's not going to, usually it's not going to transfer.
20
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.600
My body is going to try to create tension or the hit a little bit earlier.
21
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:02.960
So what does that mean?
22
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:03.960
What do I want to see?
23
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:08.090
If I were to get into that delivery position and now I was to twist and do a
24
00:01:08.090 --> 00:01:08.760
little bit
25
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.610
of the turtle shell and maybe even turn my upper body so it's a little bit more
26
00:01:13.610 --> 00:01:14.200
back,
27
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.040
now I feel a crunch on this side.
28
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.280
These abs are working.
29
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.050
I feel a stretch on this side, especially kind of in that left back and my legs
30
00:01:23.050 --> 00:01:23.500
feel
31
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:26.200
like they're connected to my arms.
32
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.840
So now let's say I was doing a delivery and go where I bring it into this
33
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:30.680
position.
34
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.810
I get my tension, now from here essentially I can release that tension and hit
35
00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:37.480
it more
36
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.480
with my body.
37
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.100
If I don't have the tension built up, then I'm going to feel like I have
38
00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:42.040
nothing to release
39
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:43.320
it with.
40
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:48.610
The one I see this the most is with the delivery pump, which is one of my
41
00:01:48.610 --> 00:01:49.280
favorite transition
42
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.900
drills where it lets you kind of like work on a couple different things all at
43
00:01:52.900 --> 00:01:53.440
once.
44
00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:57.290
So if I was to go up to the top of the swing, I want to feel like this pump is
45
00:01:57.290 --> 00:01:57.920
building
46
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.680
the tension in the core as it's getting my arms into position.
47
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.820
So pump, tension, tension as many as I want and once I feel like I have a good
48
00:02:07.820 --> 00:02:08.580
feel, then
49
00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:13.160
I just let the release happen at the end of that pump.
50
00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:16.630
If you're struggling with doing either of these, if you're struggling with your
51
00:02:16.630 --> 00:02:17.120
delivery
52
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.120
position, maybe your arms are in a great spot, but they're too active.
53
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.330
You are actively pulling the club into position with your arms rather than
54
00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:26.320
using your core
55
00:02:26.320 --> 00:02:29.430
to build up this tension, which is a hallmark of a really good delivery
56
00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:30.120
position.
57
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.280
So try that if you're struggling with your transition.

So try that if you're struggling with your transition.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.800
This concept video is monitoring your core tension in delivery position.
2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.950
So the reason this is a concept video is it kind of applies to a bunch of
3
00:00:12.950 --> 00:00:13.540
drills.
4
00:00:13.540 --> 00:00:17.890
Whenever you're working on delivery position, you want to monitor the tension
5
00:00:17.890 --> 00:00:18.680
in your core
6
00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:19.720
in that position.
7
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:25.780
I often see golfers in person or when they submit things online or post them to
8
00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:27.320
the forum,
9
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.860
they're trying to get into delivery position and it'll look something like this
10
00:00:31.860 --> 00:00:32.180
.
11
00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:36.220
And on paper, looking at the camera, you'll say, "Hey, that's not too bad."
12
00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:39.820
But if you looked from the down the line, my chest and my hips are pointing in
13
00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:40.440
the same
14
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.120
direction and I don't really have any tension in my core.
15
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:49.510
The goal is to have some tension in the core that I can then release as I'm
16
00:00:49.510 --> 00:00:50.320
doing the arm
17
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.320
release.
18
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.880
If I don't have any tension, then I'm going to be forced to just hit it.
19
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.840
It's not going to, usually it's not going to transfer.
20
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.600
My body is going to try to create tension or the hit a little bit earlier.
21
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:02.960
So what does that mean?
22
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:03.960
What do I want to see?
23
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:08.090
If I were to get into that delivery position and now I was to twist and do a
24
00:01:08.090 --> 00:01:08.760
little bit
25
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.610
of the turtle shell and maybe even turn my upper body so it's a little bit more
26
00:01:13.610 --> 00:01:14.200
back,
27
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.040
now I feel a crunch on this side.
28
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.280
These abs are working.
29
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.050
I feel a stretch on this side, especially kind of in that left back and my legs
30
00:01:23.050 --> 00:01:23.500
feel
31
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:26.200
like they're connected to my arms.
32
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.840
So now let's say I was doing a delivery and go where I bring it into this
33
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:30.680
position.
34
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.810
I get my tension, now from here essentially I can release that tension and hit
35
00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:37.480
it more
36
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.480
with my body.
37
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.100
If I don't have the tension built up, then I'm going to feel like I have
38
00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:42.040
nothing to release
39
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:43.320
it with.
40
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:48.610
The one I see this the most is with the delivery pump, which is one of my
41
00:01:48.610 --> 00:01:49.280
favorite transition
42
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.900
drills where it lets you kind of like work on a couple different things all at
43
00:01:52.900 --> 00:01:53.440
once.
44
00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:57.290
So if I was to go up to the top of the swing, I want to feel like this pump is
45
00:01:57.290 --> 00:01:57.920
building
46
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.680
the tension in the core as it's getting my arms into position.
47
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.820
So pump, tension, tension as many as I want and once I feel like I have a good
48
00:02:07.820 --> 00:02:08.580
feel, then
49
00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:13.160
I just let the release happen at the end of that pump.
50
00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:16.630
If you're struggling with doing either of these, if you're struggling with your
51
00:02:16.630 --> 00:02:17.120
delivery
52
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.120
position, maybe your arms are in a great spot, but they're too active.
53
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.330
You are actively pulling the club into position with your arms rather than
54
00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:26.320
using your core
55
00:02:26.320 --> 00:02:29.430
to build up this tension, which is a hallmark of a really good delivery
56
00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:30.120
position.
57
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.280
So try that if you're struggling with your transition.
