00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.900
This drill is pulled and pushed with the driver. So, pulled and pushed is a
2
00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:10.440
concept of kind of the the feeling of sequencing or the feeling of timing in
3
00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:13.840
the golf swing. So basically what should happen is when you get up towards the
4
00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:17.840
top of the swing you're going to use your body to pull on the club until you
5
00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:22.080
get to about delivery position. Once you get to delivery position your goal is
6
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:26.360
to then transfer all that speed that you've built in the handle down into the
7
00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:31.280
club. So that's why we call that the release. I like the analogy of of pulling
8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:36.480
like a boulder or a stubborn dog where you've got kind of a heavy object on a
9
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:40.620
leash and then you're gonna pull it and eventually you get it kind of moving
10
00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:40.760
and
11
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:44.440
it starts building up momentum and then there's not much else you can do to it
12
00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:44.560
as
13
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.440
far as creating speed. Your job is now to make sure it doesn't pull you you
14
00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:48.480
know
15
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:53.200
over a cliff. So you pull it and then you have to go from pulling to letting
16
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:53.320
your
17
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:59.120
arms kind of go out to get into that bracing position. So I like to use kind
18
00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:03.400
of the the metaphor of you're going to pull for that first part and then you're
19
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:08.440
gonna let your arms kind of push and it's more of a passive push but you're
20
00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:13.040
gonna let your arms kind of extend as you turn it into transferring and bracing
21
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:13.040
.
22
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:18.320
Now the big difference between the driver and the irons as far as the pull
23
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:22.680
and push sequencing is the arms are going to get involved a little bit
24
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.600
earlier with the irons compared to the driver and the direction of where your
25
00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:30.600
body kind of extends out to brace is going to be different with the driver
26
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.960
than the iron. Because I have this stance width that's a little bit wider and
27
00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:35.480
my
28
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:40.520
upper body is a good six seven eight inches behind where my lower body is
29
00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:46.680
is it still rotating that push is going to extend more in line with the target
30
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.600
where with an iron if I'm going to be having my stance width kind of shoulder
31
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.440
width and I'm gonna be a little bit more on top so when I get into that that
32
00:01:56.440 --> 00:02:00.680
release position my upper body is just slightly behind my lower body a couple
33
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.760
inches then when my arms go to extend they're going to extend more down so I
34
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.080
like to use that bracing analogy especially with the driver of this is
35
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.220
where if I was playing tug-of-war right and I wanted to get into a position
36
00:02:14.220 --> 00:02:14.360
where
37
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:19.920
I could pull from those arms would be kind of extended like this with a with
38
00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:25.080
an iron I'd be pulling kind of down on that line where with the driver I'd be
39
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.400
pulling more on that line there so you can use this as kind of an image and
40
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.920
metaphor for helping you kind of feel a good rhythm of I'm just going to be
41
00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:40.760
pulling from here and then I'm going to turn that into more of the push of the
42
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:47.280
leg and the push or extension of the arms right about that midpoint.

upper body is a good six seven eight inches behind where my lower body is
29
00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:46.680
is it still rotating that push is going to extend more in line with the target
30
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.600
where with an iron if I'm going to be having my stance width kind of shoulder
31
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.440
width and I'm gonna be a little bit more on top so when I get into that that
32
00:01:56.440 --> 00:02:00.680
release position my upper body is just slightly behind my lower body a couple
33
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.760
inches then when my arms go to extend they're going to extend more down so I
34
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.080
like to use that bracing analogy especially with the driver of this is
35
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.220
where if I was playing tug-of-war right and I wanted to get into a position
36
00:02:14.220 --> 00:02:14.360
where
37
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:19.920
I could pull from those arms would be kind of extended like this with a with
38
00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:25.080
an iron I'd be pulling kind of down on that line where with the driver I'd be
39
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.400
pulling more on that line there so you can use this as kind of an image and
40
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.920
metaphor for helping you kind of feel a good rhythm of I'm just going to be
41
00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:40.760
pulling from here and then I'm going to turn that into more of the push of the
42
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:47.280
leg and the push or extension of the arms right about that midpoint.
