00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
This drill is the release pump.

00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So pump drills are basically going through two different positions to kind of let your brain

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
coordinate it.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
And part of the reason why I like pump drills is pump drills require you to keep a level

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
of dynamic stability.

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
So we use it a lot in transition, basically rehearsing what it's like to go from the top

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
of the swing down to delivery position, mostly using the body.

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
If you're used to using the arms, what'll happen is when you go to change direction, it

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
will be all arms where if I do it with the body, you can see that where I change direction

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
from is actually indicating where I have my stability.

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So the release pump is basically doing a nine to three kind of back and forth.

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
So it's basically working on the movements of the release.

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
We'll just leave that down for the rest of the video.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So it's working on kind of the rule, the movements of the release.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And then what you'll do is you'll basically step up and do the exact same thing.

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Now I'm not going to hit it in the direction of the door, so we'll do it facing this

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
way.

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,000
So the release pump is basically doing a couple little swings, just kind of getting the

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
feel through there.

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And you can either reset up or I'll do it kind of a couple different ways.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
So getting kind of that brush of the ground and then trying to get the same brush of

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
the ground but letting the ball get in the way.

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Or so in that case I just kept the rhythm of the release working all the different

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
whether I'm focusing on the left arm, whether I'm focusing on the right arm, whether

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,000
I'm focusing on the wipe, I can do this movement in any of those different ways.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So the other option is to basically do the little wipe or do the release pump and then

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
step up the ball and swing basically before I'm ready to swing.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Whenever you're doing these kind of pump or release focused drills, you want to sneak

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
up on your brain because the more you do just kind of your normal pattern, the more likely

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
your brain is to recruit your normal sequence or your normal movement.

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So if you do it in these kind of rhythmical pump swings, the brain is kind of more paying

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
attention to what's going on with this rhythm and timing and this feeling and it's

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
not worried about executing your exact normal swing.

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:34,000
So focus on how the club is brushing the ground during this little pump and then

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
recreate that same movement just letting the ball get in the way.

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
That'll help you overcome some of your release tendencies and train some of these positions

00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
into a good feeling fluid movement.
