00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Okay, this is the pump drill.

00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,000
This is a drill that's been around for a while.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
The first person I remember using it was David Ledbetter.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Basically what we're going to do is we're going to practice

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
that transition sequence with a club.

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
And we're going to do it a couple times.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
And on the third time, we're going to go through

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
and try to get to impact position.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Now, we're not going to try to manipulate it.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
We're just going to let it go and hope that we kind of have

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
trained that enough.

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Because remember, it's not about what you know about the

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
golf swing is what you've trained.

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
So, the pump drill you're going to take your normal set up with

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
a good hip hinge.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
We're going to go to the top of the backswing,

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
which at this point you're just going to do whatever

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
feels somewhat comfortable.

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So you're going to go to the top of the backswing.

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
You're going to do that transition movement.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Just like so.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
A few times.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
And then on the third time, you're going to let go

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
and let everything, whatever happens happen.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
You're going to basically swing towards the wall.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So this is practicing that transition sequence

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
in movement.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
But we do it as a pump to help you with kind of the rhythm

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
of the timing of it so that you can get used to how this

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
full swing is going to feel differently than what you're currently doing.

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So, I'll demonstrate it a couple times again, just for

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
visual purposes, not saying that it's the perfect model.

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Just saying this is my representation of it.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Your job is to practice it at home or at the range

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
and apply it into your swing.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
This will help you with the timing and the tempo of transition.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Now, one last little piece.

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
What I typically see when I do this in clinics is when you do this pump

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
drill, you notice how my right elbow stays in towards my side

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
for the majority of the downswing.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Or until I get all the way down to this release position

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
that we'll talk about in the next section.

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
What I typically see in the clinics is even if you're trying to,

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
I will warn you, and at least half the clinic participants

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
will still extend that right arm straight from the top of the swing.

00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
If you remember, the right arm is actually going to be coming in.

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
This is one of the big things that we talked about in the tempo

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
section that gives the appearance of smooth tempo is having

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
this proper timing of when the arms extend.

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
So, keep that in mind, work on the few pieces,

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
so what the arms do, the little body bump, and the spine

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
and chunk those together into one movement.

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
And you're going to rehearse that movement a few times before you actually let it go.

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
So, I'll hit a couple and you'll be able to use it as a reference.

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Again, not a model of perfection, just my representation of the drill.

00:02:48,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Thank you.
