This concept video is monitoring your core tension

1
00:00:08.105 --> 00:00:09.125
in delivery position.

2
00:00:09.625 --> 00:00:12.365
So the reason this is a concept video is it kind of applies

3
00:00:12.365 --> 00:00:14.165
to a bunch of drills whenever you're working

4
00:00:14.185 --> 00:00:15.325
on delivery position.

5
00:00:15.545 --> 00:00:19.365
You wanna monitor the tension in your core in that position.

6
00:00:19.765 --> 00:00:22.245
I often see golfers, uh, in person

7
00:00:22.545 --> 00:00:25.245
or, uh, when they submit things, uh, online

8
00:00:25.265 --> 00:00:27.725
or post them to the forum, uh, where they're trying

9
00:00:27.725 --> 00:00:29.285
to get into delivery position.

10
00:00:29.545 --> 00:00:30.925
And it'll look something like this.

11
00:00:31.825 --> 00:00:34.205
And on paper, looking at the camera, you'll say,

12
00:00:34.265 --> 00:00:35.445
Hey, that's not too bad.

13
00:00:35.665 --> 00:00:38.485
But if you look from the down the line, my chest

14
00:00:38.625 --> 00:00:41.005
and my hips are pointing in the same direction.

15
00:00:41.305 --> 00:00:44.645
Um, and I don't really have any, uh, tension in my cord.

16
00:00:44.985 --> 00:00:47.525
The goal is to have some tension in the cord that I can then

17
00:00:48.235 --> 00:00:50.645
release as I'm doing the arm release.

18
00:00:50.785 --> 00:00:52.125
If I don't have any tension, then I'm

19
00:00:52.125 --> 00:00:53.165
gonna be forced to just hit it.

20
00:00:53.355 --> 00:00:56.525
It's not going to, um, usually it's not gonna transfer.

21
00:00:56.745 --> 00:00:59.005
My body is going to try to create tension

22
00:00:59.105 --> 00:01:00.445
or the hit a little bit earlier.

23
00:01:01.465 --> 00:01:03.565
So what does that mean? What do I wanna see?

24
00:01:03.785 --> 00:01:05.765
If I were to get into that delivery position

25
00:01:05.825 --> 00:01:07.885
and now I was to twist

26
00:01:07.985 --> 00:01:09.725
and do a little bit of that turtle shell

27
00:01:09.945 --> 00:01:12.405
and maybe even turn my, uh, upper body,

28
00:01:12.405 --> 00:01:13.445
so it's a little bit more back.

29
00:01:13.745 --> 00:01:16.765
Now I feel a crunch on this side. These abs are working.

30
00:01:17.105 --> 00:01:19.805
Um, I feel a stretch on this side, especially kind of in

31
00:01:19.805 --> 00:01:21.845
that left, uh, lat left back.

32
00:01:22.145 --> 00:01:25.445
Um, and my legs feel like they're connected to my arms.

33
00:01:25.985 --> 00:01:28.165
So now let's, like, let's say I was doing a delivery

34
00:01:28.265 --> 00:01:30.165
and go where I bring it into this position

35
00:01:30.165 --> 00:01:33.525
where get my tension now from here, essentially

36
00:01:34.845 --> 00:01:38.045
I can release that tension and hit it more with my body.

37
00:01:38.065 --> 00:01:39.845
If I don't have the tension built up,

38
00:01:40.035 --> 00:01:42.365
then I'm gonna feel like I have nothing to release it with.

39
00:01:42.595 --> 00:01:45.925
With the one I see this the most is with the, uh,

40
00:01:46.525 --> 00:01:48.525
delivery pump, which is one of my favorite, uh,

41
00:01:48.525 --> 00:01:51.245
transition drills where it lets you kinda like work on a

42
00:01:51.245 --> 00:01:52.765
couple different things all at once.

43
00:01:53.305 --> 00:01:55.285
So if I was to go up to the top of the swing,

44
00:01:55.685 --> 00:01:58.805
I wanna feel like this pump is building the tension in the

45
00:01:58.805 --> 00:02:00.965
core as it's getting my arms into position.

46
00:02:01.505 --> 00:02:05.565
So pump tension, tension, as many as I want.

47
00:02:05.665 --> 00:02:07.205
And then once I feel like I have a good feel,

48
00:02:08.075 --> 00:02:12.725
then I just let the release happen at the end of that pump.

49
00:02:13.465 --> 00:02:15.725
If you're struggling with doing either of these,

50
00:02:15.745 --> 00:02:17.525
if you're struggling with your delivery position,

51
00:02:17.735 --> 00:02:19.565
maybe your arms are in a great spot,

52
00:02:19.825 --> 00:02:20.925
but they're too active,

53
00:02:21.025 --> 00:02:23.525
you are actively pulling the club into position

54
00:02:23.525 --> 00:02:26.165
with your arms rather than using your core

55
00:02:26.165 --> 00:02:28.605
to build up this tension, um, which is a hallmark

56
00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:30.005
of a really good delivery position.

57
00:02:30.185 --> 00:02:32.285
So try that. If you're struggling with your transition.
