00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
The drill is pulled and pushed with the driver.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So pulled and pushed is a concept of kind of the feeling of sequencing or the feeling of

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
timing in the golf swing.

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So basically what should happen is when you get up towards the top of the swing, you're

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
going to use your body to pull on the club until you get to about delivery position.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Once you get to delivery position, your goal is to then transfer all that speed that you've

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
built in the handle down into the club.

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
That's why we call that the release.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,000
I like the analogy of pulling like a boulder or a stubborn dog where you've got kind of a

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
heavy object on a leash and then you're going to pull it and eventually you get it kind

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
of moving and it starts building up momentum and then there's not much else you can do

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
to it as far as creating speed.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Your job is now to make sure it doesn't pull you over a cliff.

00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
So you pull it and then you have to go from pulling to letting your arms kind of go out

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
to get into that bracing position.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I like to use kind of the metaphor of you're going to pull for that first part and then

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
you're going to let your arms kind of push and it's more of a passive push but you're

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
going to let your arms kind of extend as you turn it into transferring and bracing.

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Now the big difference between the driver and the irons as far as the pull and push sequencing

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
is the arms are going to get involved a little bit earlier with the irons compared to

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
the driver and the direction of where your body kind of extends out to brace is going

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
to be different with the driver than the iron.

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Because I have this stance width that's a little bit wider and my upper body is a good

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
6, 7, 8 inches behind where my lower body is is it's still rotating that push is going

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,000
to extend more in line with the target where with an iron if I'm going to be having my

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
stance width kind of shoulder width and I'm going to be a little bit more on top so

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
when I get into that release position my upper body is just slightly behind my lower

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
body a couple inches then when my arms go to extend they're going to extend more down.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
So I like to use that bracing analogy especially with the driver of this is where if I was

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
playing tug of war right and I wanted to get into a position where I could pull from.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Those arms would be kind of extended like this with an iron I'd be pulling kind of down

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,000
on that line where with the driver I'd be pulling more on that line there.

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,000
So you can use this as kind of an image and metaphor for helping you kind of feel a good

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
rhythm of I'm just going to be pulling from here and then I'm going to turn that into

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
more of the push of the leg and the push or extension of the arms right about that midpoint.
