Improve Your Swing Transition with the Release Pump Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Develop a better understanding of your swing transition from the top to impact.
- Feel how using your body instead of just your arms improves stability.
- Practice the release motion to enhance your overall consistency in striking the ball.
In this video, you'll learn the Release Pump drill to enhance your swing transition and develop better body coordination. This drill focuses on the key movements of the release, helping you create a more stable and effective swing.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.700
This drill is the release pump.
2
00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:06.540
So pump drills are basically going through two different positions to kind of
3
00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:06.720
let your
4
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:08.100
brain coordinate it.
5
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.980
And part of the reason why I like pump drills is pump drills require you to
6
00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:12.720
keep a level
7
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.560
of dynamic stability.
8
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:19.160
So we use it a lot in transition of basically rehearsing what it's like to go
9
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:19.980
from the top
10
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:24.160
of the swing down to delivery position, mostly using the body.
11
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.450
If you're used to using the arms, what'll happen is when you go to change
12
00:00:28.450 --> 00:00:29.280
direction,
13
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.730
it will be all arms where if I do it with the body, you can see that where I
14
00:00:34.730 --> 00:00:36.320
change direction
15
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.400
from is actually indicating where I have my stability.
16
00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:44.880
So the release pump is basically doing a 9 to 3 kind of back and forth.
17
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.480
So it's basically working on the movements of the release.
18
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:50.720
We'll just leave that down for the rest of the video.
19
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:55.440
So it's working on kind of the movements of the release.
20
00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:59.730
And then what you'll do is you'll basically step up and do the exact same thing
21
00:00:59.730 --> 00:00:59.960
.
22
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:02.720
Now I'm not going to hit it in the direction of the door.
23
00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:04.960
So we'll do it facing this way.
24
00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.320
So the release pump is basically doing a couple little swings, just kind of
25
00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:12.440
getting the feel
26
00:01:12.440 --> 00:01:16.730
through there and you can either reset up or I'll do it kind of a couple
27
00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:18.320
different ways.
28
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:23.920
So getting kind of that brush of the ground and then trying to get the same
29
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:24.720
brush of the
30
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:27.720
ground but letting the ball get in the way.
31
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:32.600
Or so in that case I just kept the rhythm of the release working, all the
32
00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:33.720
different whether
33
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:36.400
I'm focusing on the left arm, whether I'm focusing on the right arm, whether I
34
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:36.880
'm focusing
35
00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:37.880
on the wipe.
36
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:41.800
I can do this movement in any of those different ways.
37
00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:48.900
So the other option is to basically do the little wipe or do the release pump
38
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:49.760
and then
39
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:56.080
step up to the wall and swing basically before I'm ready to swing.
40
00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:01.090
Whenever you're doing these kind of pump or release focus drills, you want to
41
00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:01.760
sneak up
42
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:07.030
on your brain because the more you do just kind of your normal pattern, the
43
00:02:07.030 --> 00:02:07.960
more likely
44
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:12.600
your brain is to recruit your normal sequence or your normal movement.
45
00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:15.880
So if you do it in these kind of rhythmical pump swings, the brain is kind of
46
00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:16.520
more paying
47
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.570
attention to what's going on with this rhythm and timing and this feeling and
48
00:02:20.570 --> 00:02:21.120
it's not
49
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.400
worried about executing your exact normal swing.
50
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:33.700
So focus on how the club is brushing the ground during this little pump and
51
00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:35.400
then recreate
52
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.600
that same movement just letting the ball get in the way.
53
00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:42.680
That'll help you overcome some of your release tendencies and train some of
54
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:43.680
these positions
55
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.680
into a good feeling fluid movement.

keep a level
7
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.560
of dynamic stability.
8
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:19.160
So we use it a lot in transition of basically rehearsing what it's like to go
9
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:19.980
from the top
10
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:24.160
of the swing down to delivery position, mostly using the body.
11
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.450
If you're used to using the arms, what'll happen is when you go to change
12
00:00:28.450 --> 00:00:29.280
direction,
13
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.730
it will be all arms where if I do it with the body, you can see that where I
14
00:00:34.730 --> 00:00:36.320
change direction
15
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.400
from is actually indicating where I have my stability.
16
00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:44.880
So the release pump is basically doing a 9 to 3 kind of back and forth.
17
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.480
So it's basically working on the movements of the release.
18
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:50.720
We'll just leave that down for the rest of the video.
19
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:55.440
So it's working on kind of the movements of the release.
20
00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:59.730
And then what you'll do is you'll basically step up and do the exact same thing
21
00:00:59.730 --> 00:00:59.960
.
22
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:02.720
Now I'm not going to hit it in the direction of the door.
23
00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:04.960
So we'll do it facing this way.
24
00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.320
So the release pump is basically doing a couple little swings, just kind of
25
00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:12.440
getting the feel
26
00:01:12.440 --> 00:01:16.730
through there and you can either reset up or I'll do it kind of a couple
27
00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:18.320
different ways.
28
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:23.920
So getting kind of that brush of the ground and then trying to get the same
29
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:24.720
brush of the
30
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:27.720
ground but letting the ball get in the way.
31
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:32.600
Or so in that case I just kept the rhythm of the release working, all the
32
00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:33.720
different whether
33
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:36.400
I'm focusing on the left arm, whether I'm focusing on the right arm, whether I
34
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:36.880
'm focusing
35
00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:37.880
on the wipe.
36
00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:41.800
I can do this movement in any of those different ways.
37
00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:48.900
So the other option is to basically do the little wipe or do the release pump
38
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:49.760
and then
39
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:56.080
step up to the wall and swing basically before I'm ready to swing.
40
00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:01.090
Whenever you're doing these kind of pump or release focus drills, you want to
41
00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:01.760
sneak up
42
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:07.030
on your brain because the more you do just kind of your normal pattern, the
43
00:02:07.030 --> 00:02:07.960
more likely
44
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:12.600
your brain is to recruit your normal sequence or your normal movement.
45
00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:15.880
So if you do it in these kind of rhythmical pump swings, the brain is kind of
46
00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:16.520
more paying
47
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.570
attention to what's going on with this rhythm and timing and this feeling and
48
00:02:20.570 --> 00:02:21.120
it's not
49
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.400
worried about executing your exact normal swing.
50
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:33.700
So focus on how the club is brushing the ground during this little pump and
51
00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:35.400
then recreate
52
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.600
that same movement just letting the ball get in the way.
53
00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:42.680
That'll help you overcome some of your release tendencies and train some of
54
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:43.680
these positions
55
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.680
into a good feeling fluid movement.
