Improve Sequencing with the Rewind to Delivery Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Feel how to engage your lower body to lead your swing effectively.
- Identify the difference between hitting with your arms versus your body.
- Practice the pump drill to minimize unnecessary arm movement during your swing.
This drill will help you enhance your swing sequencing by focusing on lower body activation. By using the rewind to delivery technique, you'll develop better control and consistency in your shots, especially with longer clubs like the driver.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.220
This drill is using rewind to delivery to help your sequencing.
2
00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:12.320
So oftentimes golfers who struggle, especially with the longer clubs,
3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.100
especially with the
4
00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:18.470
driver, they can look like everything's in kind of a good position, but because
5
00:00:18.470 --> 00:00:18.780
of the
6
00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:22.100
sequencing, just by the fact that they're hitting it more with the arms, they
7
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:22.500
tend to
8
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.060
have a lot of club-to-face variability.
9
00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:29.780
So they tend to have two-way misses and just lack of consistency or control.
10
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:34.180
And that can often be a really hard pattern to start getting the lower body to
11
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:34.580
lead a
12
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.620
little bit longer or to be more dominant through the hit.
13
00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:43.900
And I find that sometimes you have to trick yourself into doing it.
14
00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:50.100
So sometimes I'll use the rewind to delivery to help kind of connect this lower
15
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.820
body activation.
16
00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:55.950
So I'm going to use an iron, but this is a great drill to do with the driver as
17
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:56.560
well.
18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.860
So rewind to delivery.
19
00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:01.180
We're going to get into a good setup position.
20
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:03.500
Then we're going to go to where we would want to be at impact.
21
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:09.040
So Mary go around all the hand positions, everything looking pretty good there.
22
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.910
And then from here, we're just going to bring the club back to delivery while
23
00:01:14.910 --> 00:01:15.720
trying to
24
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:18.700
keep our core kind of pointed in that direction.
25
00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:22.230
And most people, when they do this, they'll say, "I feel like I'll ask, how
26
00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:22.740
does that
27
00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:23.740
compare to your normal swing?"
28
00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:27.240
And they'll say, "I feel like my lower body is like way out in front.
29
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:31.080
Normally it would be more here because normally you're trying to hit the ball
30
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:34.100
with the arms.
31
00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:40.310
And then in this delivery position, this kind of rewind drill here, I'm feeling
32
00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:41.180
like my
33
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:43.940
lower body is going to move my arms.
34
00:01:43.940 --> 00:01:46.700
So from here, now we're going to do a pump drill.
35
00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:52.060
But the key to this pump drill is we're trying to exaggerate the lack of arm
36
00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:53.160
movements.
37
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:55.260
We're trying to really hit this with our core.
38
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:59.950
So if you do that, then you're going to have as short a finished position as
39
00:01:59.950 --> 00:02:01.520
humanly possible,
40
00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:05.740
which is basically going to be, you'll see the club stays pointing kind of at
41
00:02:05.740 --> 00:02:06.440
the camera
42
00:02:06.440 --> 00:02:07.440
more like this.
43
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:11.160
Now, I'm not going to be able to hit this very far this way, but I am going to
44
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:11.640
be able
45
00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:14.600
to feel a lot more lower body action.
46
00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:18.960
So I'm going to get into impact position, bring this back, and then I'm going
47
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.520
to pump
48
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.990
just a little bit with my lower body, and then go forward using most of my
49
00:02:23.990 --> 00:02:24.880
lower body.
50
00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:29.580
And you'll see that the club stayed behind the whole time.
51
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:33.180
I just held my arms into that position.
52
00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:37.100
So a little pump kind of like this, I hit that a little further.
53
00:02:37.100 --> 00:02:39.740
I could feel that I had a little bit more release.
54
00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:44.340
Let's try to give you, you know, kind of the extreme version for the camera.
55
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:51.180
So we're going to get into this impact, bring it back, really stopping because
56
00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:51.980
I, and at
57
00:02:51.980 --> 00:02:57.340
this point, my hips and my belly button, I've turned and my hands are still out
58
00:02:57.340 --> 00:02:57.940
in front
59
00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:01.980
of my belly button, even though I haven't released the wrist or the shoulders
60
00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:02.460
at that
61
00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:03.820
point.
62
00:03:03.820 --> 00:03:10.480
So now I have an idea and I can try to, I can try to incorporate some of that
63
00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:11.220
feeling
64
00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:15.560
of my lower body rotating through and then feeling like my arms are just adding
65
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:15.900
to it
66
00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:19.810
instead of replacing it, instead of really feeling like my arms are the
67
00:03:19.810 --> 00:03:20.940
dominant source.
68
00:03:20.940 --> 00:03:26.310
Now the arms are going to be secondary to this feeling of my hips bringing my
69
00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:26.860
arms through
70
00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:29.060
the release.
71
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:34.230
So again, this is specifically designed for golfers who tend to get really
72
00:03:34.230 --> 00:03:34.620
upper body
73
00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:38.590
active early and it usually shows up in trouble with the longer clubs,
74
00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.700
especially the driver.
75
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:50.530
So now we'll feel like we get a little bit of that hip rotation, kind of like
76
00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:51.340
that.
77
00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:56.220
I'm not sure if you can hear, but there's a lot of wind today.
78
00:03:56.220 --> 00:03:59.700
So one more, we'll do the little full sequence.
79
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:05.060
So I'm here, I'm going to bring it back, little hip rotation, got a feeling of
80
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:05.460
what
81
00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:09.220
that kind of feels like to hit it more with the core.
82
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:12.930
Now we could add a little bit more length, we could do the same thing and we
83
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:13.560
could bring
84
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:19.140
it back and then we could pump even further, kind of like that.
85
00:04:19.140 --> 00:04:28.360
And then now we'll do it like a full swing without starting it impact, kind of
86
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.180
like that.
87
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.390
So if you're struggling with getting your hips involved, you can try this
88
00:04:32.390 --> 00:04:33.160
little playing
89
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.150
around with rewind drills, sometimes that is a great way to overcome some of
90
00:04:37.150 --> 00:04:37.940
your natural
91
00:04:37.940 --> 00:04:42.380
tendencies, especially your natural sequence tendencies.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.220
This drill is using rewind to delivery to help your sequencing.
2
00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:12.320
So oftentimes golfers who struggle, especially with the longer clubs,
3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.100
especially with the
4
00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:18.470
driver, they can look like everything's in kind of a good position, but because
5
00:00:18.470 --> 00:00:18.780
of the
6
00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:22.100
sequencing, just by the fact that they're hitting it more with the arms, they
7
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:22.500
tend to
8
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.060
have a lot of club-to-face variability.
9
00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:29.780
So they tend to have two-way misses and just lack of consistency or control.
10
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:34.180
And that can often be a really hard pattern to start getting the lower body to
11
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:34.580
lead a
12
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.620

18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.860
So rewind to delivery.
19
00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:01.180
We're going to get into a good setup position.
20
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:03.500

that kind of feels like to hit it more with the core.
82
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:12.930
Now we could add a little bit more length, we could do the same thing and we
83
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:13.560
could bring
84
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:19.140
it back and then we could pump even further, kind of like that.
85
00:04:19.140 --> 00:04:28.360
And then now we'll do it like a full swing without starting it impact, kind of
86
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.180
like that.
87
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.390
So if you're struggling with getting your hips involved, you can try this
88
00:04:32.390 --> 00:04:33.160
little playing
89
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.150
around with rewind drills, sometimes that is a great way to overcome some of
90
00:04:37.150 --> 00:04:37.940
your natural
91
00:04:37.940 --> 00:04:42.380
tendencies, especially your natural sequence tendencies.

Improve Sequencing with the Rewind to Delivery Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Feel how to engage your lower body to lead your swing effectively.
- Identify the difference between hitting with your arms versus your body.
- Practice the pump drill to minimize unnecessary arm movement during your swing.
This drill will help you enhance your swing sequencing by focusing on lower body activation. By using the rewind to delivery technique, you'll develop better control and consistency in your shots, especially with longer clubs like the driver.

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.220
This drill is using rewind to delivery to help your sequencing.
2
00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:12.320
So oftentimes golfers who struggle, especially with the longer clubs,
3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.100
especially with the
4
00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:18.470
driver, they can look like everything's in kind of a good position, but because
5
00:00:18.470 --> 00:00:18.780
of the
6
00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:22.100
sequencing, just by the fact that they're hitting it more with the arms, they
7
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:22.500
tend to
8
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.060
have a lot of club-to-face variability.
9
00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:29.780
So they tend to have two-way misses and just lack of consistency or control.
10
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:34.180
And that can often be a really hard pattern to start getting the lower body to
11
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:34.580
lead a
12
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.620
little bit longer or to be more dominant through the hit.
13
00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:43.900
And I find that sometimes you have to trick yourself into doing it.
14
00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:50.100
So sometimes I'll use the rewind to delivery to help kind of connect this lower
15
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.820
body activation.
16
00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:55.950
So I'm going to use an iron, but this is a great drill to do with the driver as
17
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:56.560
well.
18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.860
So rewind to delivery.
19
00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:01.180
We're going to get into a good setup position.
20
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:03.500
Then we're going to go to where we would want to be at impact.
21
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:09.040
So Mary go around all the hand positions, everything looking pretty good there.
22
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.910
And then from here, we're just going to bring the club back to delivery while
23
00:01:14.910 --> 00:01:15.720
trying to
24
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:18.700
keep our core kind of pointed in that direction.
25
00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:22.230
And most people, when they do this, they'll say, "I feel like I'll ask, how
26
00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:22.740
does that
27
00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:23.740
compare to your normal swing?"
28
00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:27.240
And they'll say, "I feel like my lower body is like way out in front.
29
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:31.080
Normally it would be more here because normally you're trying to hit the ball
30
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:34.100
with the arms.
31
00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:40.310
And then in this delivery position, this kind of rewind drill here, I'm feeling
32
00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:41.180
like my
33
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:43.940
lower body is going to move my arms.
34
00:01:43.940 --> 00:01:46.700
So from here, now we're going to do a pump drill.
35
00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:52.060
But the key to this pump drill is we're trying to exaggerate the lack of arm
36
00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:53.160
movements.
37
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:55.260
We're trying to really hit this with our core.
38
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:59.950
So if you do that, then you're going to have as short a finished position as
39
00:01:59.950 --> 00:02:01.520
humanly possible,
40
00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:05.740
which is basically going to be, you'll see the club stays pointing kind of at
41
00:02:05.740 --> 00:02:06.440
the camera
42
00:02:06.440 --> 00:02:07.440
more like this.
43
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:11.160
Now, I'm not going to be able to hit this very far this way, but I am going to
44
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:11.640
be able
45
00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:14.600
to feel a lot more lower body action.
46
00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:18.960
So I'm going to get into impact position, bring this back, and then I'm going
47
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.520
to pump
48
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.990
just a little bit with my lower body, and then go forward using most of my
49
00:02:23.990 --> 00:02:24.880
lower body.
50
00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:29.580
And you'll see that the club stayed behind the whole time.
51
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:33.180
I just held my arms into that position.
52
00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:37.100
So a little pump kind of like this, I hit that a little further.
53
00:02:37.100 --> 00:02:39.740
I could feel that I had a little bit more release.
54
00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:44.340
Let's try to give you, you know, kind of the extreme version for the camera.
55
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:51.180
So we're going to get into this impact, bring it back, really stopping because
56
00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:51.980
I, and at
57
00:02:51.980 --> 00:02:57.340
this point, my hips and my belly button, I've turned and my hands are still out
58
00:02:57.340 --> 00:02:57.940
in front
59
00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:01.980
of my belly button, even though I haven't released the wrist or the shoulders
60
00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:02.460
at that
61
00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:03.820
point.
62
00:03:03.820 --> 00:03:10.480
So now I have an idea and I can try to, I can try to incorporate some of that
63
00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:11.220
feeling
64
00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:15.560
of my lower body rotating through and then feeling like my arms are just adding
65
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:15.900
to it
66
00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:19.810
instead of replacing it, instead of really feeling like my arms are the
67
00:03:19.810 --> 00:03:20.940
dominant source.
68
00:03:20.940 --> 00:03:26.310
Now the arms are going to be secondary to this feeling of my hips bringing my
69
00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:26.860
arms through
70
00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:29.060
the release.
71
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:34.230
So again, this is specifically designed for golfers who tend to get really
72
00:03:34.230 --> 00:03:34.620
upper body
73
00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:38.590
active early and it usually shows up in trouble with the longer clubs,
74
00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.700
especially the driver.
75
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:50.530
So now we'll feel like we get a little bit of that hip rotation, kind of like
76
00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:51.340
that.
77
00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:56.220
I'm not sure if you can hear, but there's a lot of wind today.
78
00:03:56.220 --> 00:03:59.700
So one more, we'll do the little full sequence.
79
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:05.060
So I'm here, I'm going to bring it back, little hip rotation, got a feeling of
80
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:05.460
what
81
00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:09.220
that kind of feels like to hit it more with the core.
82
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:12.930
Now we could add a little bit more length, we could do the same thing and we
83
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:13.560
could bring
84
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:19.140
it back and then we could pump even further, kind of like that.
85
00:04:19.140 --> 00:04:28.360
And then now we'll do it like a full swing without starting it impact, kind of
86
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.180
like that.
87
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.390
So if you're struggling with getting your hips involved, you can try this
88
00:04:32.390 --> 00:04:33.160
little playing
89
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.150
around with rewind drills, sometimes that is a great way to overcome some of
90
00:04:37.150 --> 00:04:37.940
your natural
91
00:04:37.940 --> 00:04:42.380
tendencies, especially your natural sequence tendencies.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.220
This drill is using rewind to delivery to help your sequencing.
2
00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:12.320
So oftentimes golfers who struggle, especially with the longer clubs,
3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.100
especially with the
4
00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:18.470
driver, they can look like everything's in kind of a good position, but because
5
00:00:18.470 --> 00:00:18.780
of the
6
00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:22.100
sequencing, just by the fact that they're hitting it more with the arms, they
7
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:22.500
tend to
8
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.060
have a lot of club-to-face variability.
9
00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:29.780
So they tend to have two-way misses and just lack of consistency or control.
10
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:34.180
And that can often be a really hard pattern to start getting the lower body to
11
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:34.580
lead a
12
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.620

13
00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:43.900

So sometimes I'll use the rewind to delivery to help kind of connect this lower

well.
18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.860
So rewind to delivery.
19
00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:01.180
We're going to get into a good setup position.
20
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:03.500
Then we're going to go to where we would want to be at impact.
21
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:09.040

compare to your normal swing?"
28
00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:27.240
And they'll say, "I feel like my lower body is like way out in front.
29
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:31.080
Normally it would be more here because normally you're trying to hit the ball
30

And then in this delivery position, this kind of rewind drill here, I'm feeling
32
00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:41.180
like my
33
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:43.940
lower body is going to move my arms.
34
00:01:43.940 --> 00:01:46.700
So from here, now we're going to do a pump drill.
35
00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:52.060
But the key to this pump drill is we're trying to exaggerate the lack of arm
36
00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:53.160
movements.
37
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:55.260
We're trying to really hit this with our core.
38
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:59.950
So if you do that, then you're going to have as short a finished position as
39
00:01:59.950 --> 00:02:01.520
humanly possible,
40
00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:05.740
which is basically going to be, you'll see the club stays pointing kind of at
41
00:02:05.740 --> 00:02:06.440
the camera
42
00:02:06.440 --> 00:02:07.440

00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:14.600
to feel a lot more lower body action.
46
00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:18.960
So I'm going to get into impact position, bring this back, and then I'm going
47
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.520

00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:34.230
So again, this is specifically designed for golfers who tend to get really
72
00:03:34.230 --> 00:03:34.620
upper body
73
00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:38.590
active early and it usually shows up in trouble with the longer clubs,
74
00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.700
especially the driver.
75
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:50.530
So now we'll feel like we get a little bit of that hip rotation, kind of like
76
00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:51.340
that.
77
00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:56.220
I'm not sure if you can hear, but there's a lot of wind today.
78
00:03:56.220 --> 00:03:59.700
So one more, we'll do the little full sequence.
79
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:05.060
So I'm here, I'm going to bring it back, little hip rotation, got a feeling of
80
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:05.460
what
81
00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:09.220
that kind of feels like to hit it more with the core.
82
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:12.930
Now we could add a little bit more length, we could do the same thing and we
83
00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:13.560
could bring
84
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:19.140
it back and then we could pump even further, kind of like that.
85
00:04:19.140 --> 00:04:28.360
And then now we'll do it like a full swing without starting it impact, kind of
86
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.180
like that.
87
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.390
So if you're struggling with getting your hips involved, you can try this
88
00:04:32.390 --> 00:04:33.160
little playing
89
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.150
around with rewind drills, sometimes that is a great way to overcome some of
90
00:04:37.150 --> 00:04:37.940
your natural
91
00:04:37.940 --> 00:04:42.380
tendencies, especially your natural sequence tendencies.
