00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
This drill is pump for body speed. So there's a variety of different ways you can use the pump.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:13,000
The pump is really just a good overall transition movement. But to specifically work on

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
body speed, we're going to use a couple different thoughts while we're working on this pump drill.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
So we're still going to use trying to get into a good delivery position. But now what we're

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:30,000
going to do is while we're making this pump, we're going to try to really kind of use

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
a little bit more force and try to feel like my abs and my hips are really kind of pulling

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:43,000
on the club. So I'm going to try to get some extra kind of body speed and then let the release

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:52,000
happen kind of later. So I want to make sure that I'm not really losing any of my positions.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
What can happen is a lot of golfers start working on arm shadowing and then they work on the

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
wipe and they get this really pretty looking club path and they're hitting them all really

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,000
straight. But what sometimes happens is in order to get that they kind of shut down their

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:17,000
bodies. So their body didn't do any movement. Then what can happen is you start to potentially

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
complain about losing distance. And so we have to add some body movement back in. We got

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
to get some body speed going. The two most common ways that golfers will struggle when

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
they start adding body speed back in is they will tend to instead of rotate along that path.

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
They'll tend to stand up. So they'll kind of feel like I'm rotating but go more into

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
that early extension pattern or they'll tend to go more with their body and kind of that

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
forward lunge pattern. So from the front, they'll either go into that early extension pattern

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
or they'll go into more of that forward lunge pattern. Or they just won't use their body

00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
whole out and they'll continue to just use the arms. The pump for body power, our focus

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
is going to be using our legs and using our hips so we can do it with taking little steps

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
or we can do it with more of a kind of a beat that drum, you know core activation type feeling.

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:23,000
It's the overall drill. I'm going to go up to the top of my swing and then I'm going to practice

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
going through that pump a few times and then after I've created most of the speed with

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000
my body, I'm going to let my arms release and let my arms go. I want to make sure that

00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:44,000
I'm not getting out of a position either of those two ways so I'm making a good pump.

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,000
This one I'm really trying to kind of use my legs. Good. Once I have a feeling of

00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:00,000
okay, that was pretty good job of using my legs. Now I'm going to try to recreate a swing

00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,000
feeling that same activation through my transition, really feeling my legs get involved.

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
So if you're struggling with that first initial phase and kind of powering the swing

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
more with the body, I recommend the pump drill. It's much better than say a broken transition

00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
or more of a position-based drill because it will help you with the sequencing of how you

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
want to use your body to create that initial speed. Okay, so face on when you're doing this

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,000
pump for body power, you're going to try and use that body speed before you then let your arms

00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000
go and use that arm and hand speed. So as we saw from the downline, you still got to make sure

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
that you're getting the club in a good position. But from here, I can either use more of a feeling

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000
of really kind of using my legs and kind of twisting and pulling or I can use a little bit

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,000
of a, you know, pick up the heel and kind of get a step. So a little bit more almost like a

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:15,000
step-changing direction drill so I can get that feeling of step step and go. So there are just

00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000
two different ways of kind of feeling the same thing, but you'll notice that one of the

00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
tendencies is when you try to get your body involved would be that early extension or the

00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000
more common when you'd see from here would be trying to get that body involved and getting

00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000
more of a lunge and that'll give you more of that steep contact. So make sure to monitor that

00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,000
as you're trying to get more body speed that it's not taking you out of position and you're

00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000
still able to make relatively solid contact with the pump drills or with a step you should always

00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000
be a little bit more kind of patient with yourself as far as precision of contact goes.
