00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.720
The next one we're going to do my view of is the delivery and go.
2
00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:10.400
So this is one of my all-time favorite drills fixed as a lot of issues or it
3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:10.640
should say
4
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:12.280
reveals a lot of issues.
5
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:16.820
So I'm going to get in this delivery position, which you all know from the
6
00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:17.920
delivery video.
7
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.080
So there's delivery position.
8
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:24.240
Now from here, all I'm going to do is rotate my body and extend my arms.
9
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.400
We'll do that again.
10
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:33.080
So we're in our normal setup position.
11
00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:35.600
There's delivery position with my hands even with the golf ball.
12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:41.560
Now as I release just like so, it's going to kind of look like that.
13
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:42.560
Just like that.
14
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:48.660
So this gives a great way of working on the kind of movements of the body and
15
00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:49.520
the hands
16
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:50.520
during the release phase.
17
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.950
Because what will happen is a lot of golfers doing this delivery go will want
18
00:00:54.950 --> 00:00:55.600
to get the
19
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.440
hands back like so.
20
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:01.320
So right before they swing, they'll move their hands back and then they'll
21
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:02.160
release like this
22
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:07.320
and they'll tend to hit it fat kind of like so.
23
00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:12.230
That's a timing issue more than anything because what we want to have happen is
24
00:01:12.230 --> 00:01:13.040
from here you're
25
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.240
just going to let your body rotate so your hands are going to look.
26
00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:20.760
You can see how far compared to the golf ball or from my perspective, my hands
27
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:21.360
look like
28
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:24.200
they're ahead of the golf ball, but you can see from the face on view that that
29
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:24.520
looks
30
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:26.400
relatively normal.
31
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.390
And as long as my hands continue rotating with my body as they release, so I
32
00:01:31.390 --> 00:01:31.880
get to
33
00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:36.220
that delivery position and then go, as long as they continue working in, I'm
34
00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:36.800
not going
35
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.840
to hit it super, super fat.
36
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.550
The other option that a lot of golfers will do is they will stand up, which
37
00:01:46.550 --> 00:01:47.640
counter or
38
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.840
which works with this kind of flip or extension or cast release.
39
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:01.000
So basically from here they will stand up and release it more like so.
40
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.920
That can work with the short irons, that can work up to about a seven iron, but
41
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:05.200
when
42
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.550
you start getting into the longer clubs, that's going to give you major contact
43
00:02:08.550 --> 00:02:09.240
, major power
44
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:10.240
source problems.
45
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.120
So we want to get that out of our system as quickly as we can.
46
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.520
So we're going to go delivery and go, just like so, and then just like that.
47
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.240
So hopefully that gives you a good perspective of my view of the release and
48
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:24.960
that I hope can
49
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.810
help you overcome some of the visual barriers you may be having in trying to
50
00:02:28.810 --> 00:02:29.520
train these
51
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:29.520
movements.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.720
The next one we're going to do my view of is the delivery and go.
2
00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:10.400

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:10.640

So there's delivery position.
8
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:24.240
Now from here, all I'm going to do is rotate my body and extend my arms.
9
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.400
We'll do that again.
10
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:33.080
So we're in our normal setup position.
11
00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:35.600
There's delivery position with my hands even with the golf ball.
12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:41.560
Now as I release just like so, it's going to kind of look like that.
13
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:42.560
Just like that.
14
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:48.660
So this gives a great way of working on the kind of movements of the body and
15
00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:49.520
the hands
16
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:50.520
during the release phase.
17
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.950
Because what will happen is a lot of golfers doing this delivery go will want

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:02.160

movements.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.720
The next one we're going to do my view of is the delivery and go.
2
00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:10.400
So this is one of my all-time favorite drills fixed as a lot of issues or it
3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:10.640
should say
4
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:12.280
reveals a lot of issues.
5
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:16.820
So I'm going to get in this delivery position, which you all know from the
6
00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:17.920
delivery video.
7
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.080
So there's delivery position.
8
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:24.240
Now from here, all I'm going to do is rotate my body and extend my arms.
9
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.400
We'll do that again.
10
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:33.080
So we're in our normal setup position.
11
00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:35.600
There's delivery position with my hands even with the golf ball.
12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:41.560
Now as I release just like so, it's going to kind of look like that.
13
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:42.560
Just like that.
14
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:48.660
So this gives a great way of working on the kind of movements of the body and
15
00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:49.520
the hands
16
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:50.520
during the release phase.
17
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.950
Because what will happen is a lot of golfers doing this delivery go will want
18
00:00:54.950 --> 00:00:55.600
to get the
19
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.440
hands back like so.
20
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:01.320
So right before they swing, they'll move their hands back and then they'll
21
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:02.160
release like this
22
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:07.320
and they'll tend to hit it fat kind of like so.
23
00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:12.230
That's a timing issue more than anything because what we want to have happen is
24
00:01:12.230 --> 00:01:13.040
from here you're
25
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.240
just going to let your body rotate so your hands are going to look.
26
00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:20.760
You can see how far compared to the golf ball or from my perspective, my hands
27
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:21.360
look like
28
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:24.200
they're ahead of the golf ball, but you can see from the face on view that that
29
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:24.520
looks
30
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:26.400
relatively normal.
31
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.390
And as long as my hands continue rotating with my body as they release, so I
32
00:01:31.390 --> 00:01:31.880
get to
33
00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:36.220
that delivery position and then go, as long as they continue working in, I'm
34
00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:36.800
not going
35
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.840
to hit it super, super fat.
36
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.550
The other option that a lot of golfers will do is they will stand up, which
37
00:01:46.550 --> 00:01:47.640
counter or
38
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.840
which works with this kind of flip or extension or cast release.
39
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:01.000
So basically from here they will stand up and release it more like so.
40
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.920
That can work with the short irons, that can work up to about a seven iron, but
41
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:05.200
when
42
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.550
you start getting into the longer clubs, that's going to give you major contact
43
00:02:08.550 --> 00:02:09.240
, major power
44
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:10.240
source problems.
45
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.120
So we want to get that out of our system as quickly as we can.
46
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.520
So we're going to go delivery and go, just like so, and then just like that.
47
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.240
So hopefully that gives you a good perspective of my view of the release and
48
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:24.960
that I hope can
49
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.810
help you overcome some of the visual barriers you may be having in trying to
50
00:02:28.810 --> 00:02:29.520
train these
51
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:29.520
movements.
