00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.240
this video is where should the club point in the pump drill. So I've created a

2
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.480
little visual alignment so that if you're doing this at home you can replicate

3
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:14.520
what I'm seeing. So here I've got kind of a imaginary target line with the one

4
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:17.680
stick and then I've got a another alignment stick just perpendicular to it.

5
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:23.700
So I like pump the pump style drills of kind of feeling the rhythm and the

6
00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:29.040
movement when you're rehearsing a new position especially if it's kind of a

7
00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:33.600
dramatically different pattern because then your brain just kind of tends to

8
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.560
kind of get in the rhythm and it forgets your normal tension and your

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.690
normal pattern. So what we're going to do with this is we're going to look at

10
00:00:40.690 --> 00:00:40.880
the

11
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.240
pump drill and how where the club is pointing at different parts because I

12
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.440
commonly get the question of well where should the grip point should I point

13
00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:57.040
you know at the golf ball down at my feet out parallel. So there's a little bit

14
00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:01.880
confusion I want to try to clear that up. So if I've got my golf ball and I'm

15
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:02.000
in

16
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.600
my setup position here I've got this one on the on the ground representing the

17
00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:11.160
target line and I've got this one perpendicular because what you'll see is

18
00:01:11.160 --> 00:01:16.160
where the grip points depends on how far down you're pumping. I typically like

19
00:01:16.160 --> 00:01:21.640
three different areas or three different lengths of pumps depending on what you

20
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:21.680
're

21
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.280
working on. So if I were to just pump kind of a little bit more of just that

22
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.400
weight shift with absolutely no arm activity you can see that from my

23
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:36.280
perspective this is pointing almost perpendicular to the target line or

24
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.560
along this yellow stick. If I was to do what I consider kind of the classic or

25
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.680
the normal pump I'm going to pump down to delivery position. Now that shaft is

26
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:52.520
going to be at about a 45 degree angle or if I had the handle in the bucket the

27
00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:58.680
grip would be pointing kind of in the bucket there. So I could do that pump

28
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.040
there a few times and then go ahead and swing through let the golf ball get in

29
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:09.080
the way. The third option would be if I'm doing a little bit more of a pump

30
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.440
down to about here where I've already started the unhinge and I'm kind of

31
00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:18.000
pumping a little bit more that release on the way through. So some golfers who

32
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.320
tend to get a little bit more into that early extension of pattern or that

33
00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:27.640
really steep arm pattern you'll get very high at this point and so if I'm

34
00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:31.600
pumping staying in my posture a little bit I'll pump it all the way down to

35
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:36.420
about shaft parallel. So that can potentially look like this and you'll

36
00:02:36.420 --> 00:02:40.320
see that it's shaft parallel it's just inside if I wanted to hit a draw or

37
00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:45.160
pretty close to in line with it if I wanted to hit a fade. What I would want

38
00:02:45.160 --> 00:02:49.840
to make sure is that it's not way out towards the golf ball so similar to the

39
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:57.000
wall drill. So if I wanted to pump that kind of second pattern would be pumping

40
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.440
kind of down to about there. So the pump drill is a versatile drill and where

41
00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:01.640
the

42
00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:06.000
grip points will depend on how far you're going down but roughly what it will

43
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.360
look like is early on if I'm doing just the weight shift body pump it'll be

44
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.680
perpendicular. I'm going all the way down to delivery position it'll be about

45
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.160
45

46
00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:22.000
I'm going down towards shaft parallel it'll be just inside of parallel and then

47
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.600
from there I'm basically using all the good bracing and release mechanics to

48
00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:30.720
then get into that follow-through position. So if you're struggling with

49
00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:35.280
your pump drill hopefully this helps you visualize the path of the club as it

50
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.120
relates to different phases within the pump.
