1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.240
This drill is pump for body speed.

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.920
So there's a variety of different ways you can use the pump.

3
00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:10.800
The pump is really just a good overall transition movement.

4
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.090
But to specifically work on body speed, we're going to use a couple different

5
00:00:16.090 --> 00:00:17.040
thoughts while

6
00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:19.160
we're working on this pump drill.

7
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.160
So we're still going to use trying to get into a good delivery position, but

8
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:23.700
now what

9
00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:27.840
we're going to do is while we're making this pump, we're going to try to really

10
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:28.760
kind of

11
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.680
use a little bit more force and try to feel like my abs and my hips are really

12
00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:35.280
kind of

13
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.840
pulling on the club.

14
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:43.260
So I'm going to try to get some extra kind of body speed and then let the

15
00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:44.840
release happen

16
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:46.000
kind of later.

17
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.640
So I want to make sure that I'm not really losing any of my positions.

18
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.660
What can happen is a lot of golfers start working on arm shallowing and then

19
00:00:56.660 --> 00:00:57.280
they work

20
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.110
on the wipe and they get this really pretty looking club path and they're

21
00:01:01.110 --> 00:01:01.760
hitting the

22
00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:03.320
ball really straight.

23
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:09.020
But what sometimes happens is in order to get that, they kind of shut down

24
00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:10.160
their body.

25
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:12.640
So their body didn't do any movement.

26
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.240
Then what can happen is you start to potentially complain about losing distance

27
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:18.560
.

28
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.760
And so we have to add some body movement back in.

29
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.480
We got to get some body speed going.

30
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.970
The two most common ways that golfers will struggle when they start adding body

31
00:01:25.970 --> 00:01:26.360
speed

32
00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:31.680
back in is they will tend to instead of rotate along that path, they'll tend to

33
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:32.480
stand up.

34
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.980
So they'll kind of feel like I'm rotating but go more into that early extension

35
00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:37.520
pattern

36
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:42.830
or they'll tend to go more with their body and kind of that forward lunge

37
00:01:42.830 --> 00:01:43.800
pattern.

38
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.410
So from the front, they'll either go into that early extension pattern or they

39
00:01:48.410 --> 00:01:48.760
'll go

40
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:54.360
into more of that forward lunge pattern or they just won't use their body a

41
00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:54.520
whole

42
00:01:54.520 --> 00:01:58.360
lot and they'll continue to just use the arms.

43
00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:05.060
The pump for body power, our focus is going to be using our legs and using our

44
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:05.680
hips so

45
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.280
we can do it with taking little steps or we can do it with more of a kind of a

46
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:11.840
beat the

47
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.720
drum, you know, core activation type feeling.

48
00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:21.820
But the overall drill, I'm going to go up to the top of my swing and then I'm

49
00:02:21.820 --> 00:02:22.400
going

50
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.960
to practice going through that pump a few times.

51
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.320
And then after I created most of the speed with my body, I'm going to let my

52
00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:32.080
arms release

53
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.280
and let my arms go.

54
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:41.030
Want to make sure that I'm not getting out of position, either of those two

55
00:02:41.030 --> 00:02:41.640
ways.

56
00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:44.800
So I'm making a good pump.

57
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.000
Just when I'm really trying to kind of use my legs, good.

58
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.520
Once I have a feeling of, okay, that was pretty good job of using my legs.

59
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:03.180
Now I'm going to try to recreate a swing, feeling that same activation through

60
00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:04.960
my transition,

61
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.040
really feeling my legs get involved.

62
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:12.030
So if you're struggling with that first initial phase and kind of powering the

63
00:03:12.030 --> 00:03:12.960
swing more with

64
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.640
the body, I recommend the pump drill.

65
00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:19.750
It's much better than, say, a broken transition or more of a position-based

66
00:03:19.750 --> 00:03:20.760
drill because it

67
00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:25.640
will help you with the sequencing of how you want to use your body to create

68
00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:26.560
that initial

69
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:27.560
speed.

70
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:28.560
Okay.

71
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.380
So face on, when you're doing this pump for body power, you're going to try and

72
00:03:32.380 --> 00:03:32.640
use that

73
00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:40.400
body speed before you then let your arms go and use that arm and hand speed.

74
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.240
So as we saw from the down line, you still got to make sure that you're getting

75
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:43.760
the club

76
00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:45.440
in a good position.

77
00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:51.420
But from here, I can either use more of a feeling of really kind of using my

78
00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:52.200
legs and

79
00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:59.000
kind of twisting and pulling, or I can use a little bit of a, you know, pick up

80
00:03:59.000 --> 00:03:59.800
the heel

81
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.040
and kind of get a step.

82
00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:07.720
So a little bit more, almost like the step change of direction drill.

83
00:04:07.720 --> 00:04:15.160
So I can get that feeling of step, step, step and go.

84
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:18.720
So there are just two different ways of kind of feeling the same thing, but you

85
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:19.280
'll notice

86
00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:23.980
that one of the tendencies is when you try to get your body involved would be

87
00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:24.680
that early

88
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.630
extension or the more common one you'd see from here would be trying to get

89
00:04:28.630 --> 00:04:29.240
that body

90
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:33.070
involved and getting more of a lunge and that'll give you more of that steep

91
00:04:33.070 --> 00:04:33.720
contact.

92
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:39.730
So make sure to monitor that as you're trying to get more body speed, that it's

93
00:04:39.730 --> 00:04:40.680
not taking

94
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:47.780
you out of position and you're still able to make relatively solid contact with

95
00:04:47.780 --> 00:04:48.380
the pump

96
00:04:48.380 --> 00:04:52.260
drills or with a step, you should always be a little bit more kind of patient

97
00:04:52.260 --> 00:04:53.360
with yourself

98
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.200
as far as precision of contact goes.
