00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.560
This drill video is the water bottle transition. Now I have to give credit to
2
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.800
this drill. I saw it on TV with Michael Breed. Normally I think a lot of his
3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:17.640
stuff is kind of crazy, but I really liked the kind of kinesthetic or the
4
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.560
feeling awareness that this water bottle creates. So you're gonna take a
5
00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:26.280
water bottle and just make sure it's at the most halfway full. Because what'll
6
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.360
happen is if I hold this straight up and down you can see all the water is
7
00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:32.880
collecting at the bottom of the water bottle. If I were to turn it
8
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.470
horizontally, it would, I can feel the pressure in my palm and it would
9
00:00:37.470 --> 00:00:38.280
basically
10
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.760
evenly distribute throughout the body. If I rotate it as far as I can, it's
11
00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:47.920
actually a little bit more towards the bottle end. So as we're practicing this
12
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.850
delivery position, you can use a water bottle instead of a remote control,
13
00:00:52.850 --> 00:00:53.600
which
14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.000
will give you this feeling and this little noise of almost like I was pouring
15
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.200
water out the back this way. Now this looks very crazy, right? Has a lot of
16
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.600
forearm rotation. Well if I did it this way, yeah that looks like I rotate my
17
00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:12.870
forearms a lot, right? Well if I get down into golf posture and then rotate in
18
00:01:12.870 --> 00:01:13.000
my
19
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:19.080
body, it's no longer looks that crazy. This actually looks like someone like
20
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:24.800
Sergio Garcia or Graham McDowell or Jason Duffner. It's starting to look like
21
00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:25.000
this
22
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.080
delivery position that most of these good ball strikers are getting into. So
23
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:30.040
you
24
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.110
can practice it just doing the delivery position drill or you can practice
25
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:34.400
going
26
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:39.000
to the top of your swing and then trying to feel like that water bottle pours
27
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.440
out the back side as you're doing that left side bend. So it kind of be like I
28
00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:44.520
'm
29
00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:49.070
pouring water over my forearm this way and it gives you a great feeling of
30
00:01:49.070 --> 00:01:49.160
these
31
00:01:49.160 --> 00:01:54.600
forearms rotating which will allow you to steepen with the body which prepares
32
00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:59.960
you for the release pretty much in the best way we can create. So get a water
33
00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:03.840
bottle fill it up halfway with water and it'll help you get the feeling of what
34
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.700
it's like to let these forearms rotate as you get into a good delivery position
35
00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:12.000
during transition.
