Delivery Shaft Push 2

This drill helps with timing and prevents early arm movement. Holding the club across with the trail hand upside down, I create momentum and push with the right hand at the bottom. Starting with small swings, I feel the club drop and fire late. Once I have the tempo, I transition to regular grip and focus on loading and releasing at the bottom for a powerful impact. Though it's challenging to hit balls with this drill, it's effective for timing and feel.

This drill is the delivery shaft push. Um,

1
00:00:08.210 --> 00:00:12.790
so this is more of a rhythm drill to help you get out of pulling down

2
00:00:12.790 --> 00:00:15.430
aggressively or firing the arms too soon. Um,

3
00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:19.950
so this can be comboed with any of your delivery position or feeling your core

4
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:21.710
working in transition. Um,

5
00:00:21.710 --> 00:00:25.590
so on paper it's kind of part of the whoosh family of drills, um, which is, uh,

6
00:00:25.870 --> 00:00:29.630
a drill. We're forgetting the speed later in the swing, um,

7
00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:33.310
on the follow through side of the ball or at least that's kind of the perception

8
00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:34.130
or the feeling.

9
00:00:34.130 --> 00:00:38.750
So we we're gonna do is we're gonna take the club and we're going to, um,

10
00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:42.990
hold it across just like this and we're gonna put the trail hand on it upside

11
00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:46.950
down so it's kind of holding it more like this instead of a split grip this way.

12
00:00:47.410 --> 00:00:52.310
So this is very similar to kind of that Rory transition drill, um,

13
00:00:52.310 --> 00:00:56.670
where we're getting, uh, the trying to get the energy into the shaft,

14
00:00:57.010 --> 00:01:00.950
but now what we're gonna do is with the hand on the opposite side like this,

15
00:01:01.450 --> 00:01:04.590
I'm gonna feel like there's a little bit of momentum and then when I get down

16
00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:08.870
here, I'm going to give that right hand a little bit of a push

17
00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:14.390
and try to get the speed or the whoosh to be going

18
00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:18.470
through the ball into impact. Um,

19
00:01:19.130 --> 00:01:23.230
so I can start with just some really little ones where I start kind of in this

20
00:01:23.630 --> 00:01:25.750
delivery position and I just go there.

21
00:01:26.050 --> 00:01:29.710
And then the longer the swing on that one,

22
00:01:29.830 --> 00:01:33.790
I really had a feeling of the club kind of dropping in through here

23
00:01:34.930 --> 00:01:39.750
and then firing very late. Ideally when I get this to fire or when I go to push,

24
00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:44.910
I'm also going into some of my bracing movement or kind of straightening, um,

25
00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:45.743
that left leg.

26
00:01:45.770 --> 00:01:48.790
Now I don't like to do hundreds of these cuz you'll really wear out your

27
00:01:49.070 --> 00:01:52.670
shoulder, um, but just enough to kind of get the feel and the timing.

28
00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:55.750
If you're used to firing your arms early,

29
00:01:55.780 --> 00:02:00.630
what will happen is you will hear or you will feel that the speed goes early

30
00:02:01.970 --> 00:02:06.070
and it's almost like slowing down or going a constant speed through impact

31
00:02:06.070 --> 00:02:10.190
rather than getting it to feel like it speeds up through impact.

32
00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:12.350
Once I have that tempo feel,

33
00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:17.270
then I'm gonna put my hands on the club regularly and I'm gonna feel like I

34
00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:22.190
can't use that right side or that right arm until I get down

35
00:02:22.260 --> 00:02:25.710
into that position. So it's gonna feel like it loads

36
00:02:27.250 --> 00:02:31.470
and then it releases down at the bottom and I get that whoosh after impact.

37
00:02:32.290 --> 00:02:36.630
Now this is a really hard one to actually hit golf balls.

38
00:02:37.130 --> 00:02:40.430
Um, it is possible, um, but I rarely do it.

39
00:02:40.510 --> 00:02:43.510
I would say most of the time I just do this as kind of a practice swing,

40
00:02:43.510 --> 00:02:47.950
getting the feel and then putting the hands on and trying to apply it.

41
00:02:48.090 --> 00:02:52.470
But I'll show you that. We'll see, I'll show you that it is

42
00:02:54.190 --> 00:02:58.990
possible. Um, but because you have stuff stopping and coming off the club, um,

43
00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:01.940
it's not gonna be one that you're gonna have a lot of carryover.

44
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.500
As far as the feel, it's mostly a timing drill.

45
00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:09.380
So I got the feel of the arms not doing anything until right about here. Um,

46
00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:12.780
and so now if I put both hands on, I can feel a little bit more

47
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.060
of that arms kind of falling and waiting, um,

48
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.380
before I then deliver some push into the golf ball.

49
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:27.340
So one more time, we'll get that feel the,

50
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.500
the delivery position push, kinda like that.

51
00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:36.860
So right around belly button here is when that arm feels like it's kicking

52
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.500
in. Now I'm gonna do more of a pump

53
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.020
and feel like that same timing is when the arm gets involved.

54
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.420
So if you have a tendency to go early,

55
00:03:49.610 --> 00:03:53.660
this can be a great way for getting the timing. And then the longer the swing,

56
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.300
the more you're gonna have to feel like it just falls before it gets the push.

57
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.860
Rather than getting actively pulled down while it's falling,

58
00:04:01.160 --> 00:04:05.820
you can work on getting your lower body to turn and start it to go into that

59
00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:09.140
vertical movement. Um, you can use the core and kind of do the turtle shell.

60
00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:13.860
You can feel the body creating more tension or speed in the club

61
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.060
rather than just the arms doing it right away.
