00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
This drill is dropped to delivery.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
So this drill is designed to get to work more on the rhythm of the arms being soft as

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
you approach delivery position.

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
One of the common issues that I see is a lot of golfers who are doing delivery position

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
training get really active with the arms and by getting really active with the arms,

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
it either causes the club to steep in, making it hard to get into delivery, where it

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
causes the club to widen, making it hard to get into delivery.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So we're going to work on dropping the arms into delivery position and feeling almost

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
like there's a little bit of bountiness to it where there's a drop and then a push down

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
at the bottom, kind of like this.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
In fact, before doing this drill, I like to have golfers do this kind of rhythm drill just

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
to feel a transition move.

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000
So I can pull a little bit, especially with this lead side, but I have to make sure that

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
I still am in contact so that I can get the rhythm of that push from right around belly

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
button height through to that follow-through.

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
So instead of just letting it drop with just the lead hand, now I'm going to put both hands

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
on and I'm going to rehearse delivery position.

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
So as a quick refresher, we're going to bring the arms out in front of us.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
We're going to bend that right arm so that it's kind of in towards the belly button and

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
the lead arm is pointing away and we're going to add a little bit of a motorcycle movement.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
So this right here is where we're trying to get to at about mid-down swing or a little

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
bit past mid-down swing, kind of right around here.

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So now what we're going to do is we're going to go up to the top of the swing and our arms

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
are going to try to just fall into that position as our body is turning out to the

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
way with a little bit of pressure or weight shift into that front foot.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
So I'm going to get up to the top, I'm going to shift into that front foot, turn the

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
belly button out to the way and feel like those arms just fall into that delivery position.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Now I want the fall to happen more from kind of the whole arm.

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I see some golfers almost like let go and the wrist gets really floppy.

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Just because we're trying to have this feeling of the club falling doesn't mean we

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
want to completely lose control.

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
So I want to have just enough pressure so that I'm kind of holding on to it if someone

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,000
was to pull the club away from me, I would go with them but I wouldn't completely let go

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
of the club.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Okay, so we're going to do this as a pump version of the delivery drill.

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
So we're going to go up to the top and we're going to fall into this position, fall

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,000
and then release the arms down towards the bottom.

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
When you actually go to hit it, the arm release will start a little bit before you're

00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
getting to that delivery position or the arm activation, I should say we'll start before

00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
you get to that delivery position.

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
But the intention of the drill is to delay it as long as possible because most of you who

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
need this drill are activating those arms right away from the top.

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
So let's do it again.

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
We're going to get a little bounce here with it.

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
So drop into that position, drop into that position, drop and go.

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
And when you really get good at this drill, what you'll feel is there is a little bit

00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
of timing to the arm dropping and the pressure shift in that lead foot.

00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:41,000
So I'm going to try to feel like they're almost reaching this delivery position and this

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
readiness to fire at the same time.

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:53,000
So that takes a certain patient's and coordination to this pattern where I'm waiting to

00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:00,000
fire, but the lower body is acting in kind of a quick way while the arms are falling.

00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
That's a really important key for a lot of golfers who struggle with the sequencing, who

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
really get early and active with the arms.

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
And it's done right.

00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
It feels like the body and the arms are working together instead of the arms doing one thing

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
in the body doing another.

00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
So let's do one more like that.

00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
So we're going to go up.

00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000
We're going to try to, I don't know if you can see, I'm actually picking up that left foot

00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
so that I can feel an exaggeration of the timing of those two.

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
The arms falling and the lower body reaching its kind of delivery position at the same

00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
time.

00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
So let's go up, down, down.

00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
And then when we're in that down position, we're just going to work on one of the release

00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
movements or try to get to a good follow-through position.

00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
So if you're one of the type who struggles with the delivery position drills because

00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
you tend to get really active and pulling from the top, there's a rhythm drill that kind

00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,000
of helps you soften those arms and get into the delivery position in a more effective way.

00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Let's do one more without pausing.

00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Ready to go play.
