The drill is handle in the bucket for driver.
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So the handle in the bucket is kind of a visual drill for helping you feel the shallowness
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
of the arm's during transition.
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,000
So basically to set it up, you're going to take a shaft or in this case I've got just
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
a old range bucket on the end of an old shaft and I've got it set up at slightly flatter
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
than the driver-liongle.
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000
So if I was setting this up for say a seven iron, it would be this would probably be
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
a little bit too flat because you can see that the bucket is tilted on an angle kind of
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
like this compared to a seven iron, I would probably want it something like that.
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Other than adjusting the tilt, it's exactly the same drill, which is I'm going to work
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,000
on getting my handle of the club pointed in this general direction during transition.
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Remember this is a transition drill.
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
You're going to deviate from where this is pointing as you start to release the club.
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So if I'm doing this little handle in the bucket, I'm going to go up towards the top
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
of the swing and then as I start down, I'm going to try and basically get that handle.
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
You could see that it would be going more or less straight through the bucket.
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
So I'll choke up so that we can visualize that even more.
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
So there, now I'm in delivery position and then of course once I start to deliver the
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
club, the handle is going to be pointed well away.
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Where a lot of amateur struggle is they will tend to get the handle pointed more straight
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
down.
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
So if I was set up to the golf ball, you could see that that would clearly miss the bucket.
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000
It would never have a chance of going in the bucket compared to if I did this in a good
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
way.
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
So I'll demonstrate from down the line.
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
You can imagine I've got that bucket right about there as I go up.
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
It's going to point in the bucket just like so.
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So this is a general visual drill for feeling some of the or for experiencing some of the
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
technical things that we talk about in how the arm's shallow.
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Now, the one of the big keys is to make sure that when I'm doing this, I'm not getting
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
this pointed in the bucket by early standing and standing up and using my spine.
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I'm doing this purely with my arm movement.
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
So while I'm doing this kind of Jackson 5 and staying against the ground or the left
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
tilt the forward flex thing.
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So while I'm getting into this good delivery position, my arm should basically be pointing
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
that shaft in the direction of this bucket before I initiate the release.
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
So if you struggle especially with getting steep in transition, this can be a good spatial
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
awareness and overall visual drill for the overall path of the club and how you need
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
to shallow the arms during transition.
