When the golf club is at the top of the swing, it has resistance to movement. If you were to apply your arms to soon, they wouldn't add much speed. Once the body gets the club moving, then the club has less resistance, and so when the arms apply force, they are able to contribute much more speed. Use the body to get the club moving during transition, and then learn to push with the legs and the arms during the release phase.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
This drill is called pull then push and it's a sequencing drill to help you figure out how to put some of these movements in place.
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:17,000
So the delivery position that we talk about in the transition section is kind of the halfway point between pulling and pushing.
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:29,000
And the way I look at it is it's almost like I got a heavy boulder that's on a string and I get over there and I grab the rope that's holding this heavy boulder and then I have to make some big movements to kind of get the boulder going.
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
But then it's moving really fast and I don't want it to pull me.
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
So then I kind of have to brace against the boulder being pulled too much towards the target.
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Okay? So what ends up happening is you go to the top of the swing and the body is going to pull the club down until it gets into this delivery position.
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
And then you start bracing against the ground as you push kind of building on that energy.
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It goes back to that spinning ahead cover idea and when we want to apply force.
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
So there's kind of a slight pull with the body and then a push from the arms.
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
A pull from the body, a push from the arms.
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,000
The pull from the body can happen anywhere from the legs to the core all the way up to about your rib cage.
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:20,000
But if it happens mostly from the shoulders that's when you will get into more of a cast-style sequencing and you'll end up losing power.
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So this is more of an imagery and something that you can kind of think about.
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,000
And it's built more around kind of the timing of when those arms release and what the upper body is doing to brace against the arm release.
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:43,000
But it's an important image that I've had a lot of success with with players feeling that they kind of gently pull before they push.
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
And that's what gives us the most speed in the clubhead and gets us to hit the ball the farthest with our current model.
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
