00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
In this drill video, we're going to look at the transition for the distance wedge.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
So transition is obviously a very important part of the golf swing and whether it's

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
putting or full swing, I think it deserves special attention.

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
So the transition for the distance wedge is going to be less powerful than your full swing,

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
but a little bit more powerful than your finesse wedge swing.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
So it's basically going to have a subtle little weight shift and then letting your arms

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
drop with your body turning with it.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:39,000
So it'll be the same timing as if I was throwing a little underhand toss in a real

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
throw, right?

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
If I was trying to strike someone out, I would step and shift and boom, there would be a

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
clear distinction between when I stepped and then when my arm went forward.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Well in a beanbag toss or in an underhand toss, you'll almost step as the arms are

00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
coming forward, but you'll step just slightly beforehand.

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
It's exactly the same timing.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So what you'll tend to see with very good distance wedge players is with that slightly

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,000
narrow stance, that little weight shift is going to be very hard to see.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
It's going to look like they say almost very stacked.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
So you're going to have your slight tilt left in the back swing and then there's a slight

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
little shift into that left heel before you let your arms and your body drop through.

00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Whether you're doing the nine o'clock, the chest height, shoulder height, whatever you

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
want to call them.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
The step is going to be a little bit more gradual.

00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
What I see on 3D is it kind of reaches its peak as it's approaching impacts, where the

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:50,000
peak on 3D for your full swing will reach close to its maximum lateral movement when the hands

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
are getting into the delivery position.

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Because then you'll push through the legs and post up.

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
There's a lot less of that push through the legs and post up, which we'll get into in the

00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
release video.

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
So I'll provide an example, which is basically here's my normal distance wedge set.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,000
We'll go chest height and we'll just kind of pump that little transition and then just let

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
those arms and hands carry through to chest height just like so.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
So I love the pump drill for a transition, whether it's in your full swing or in your

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
distance wedge, distance wedge just focus on those arms kind of getting more involved

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
earlier as opposed to later.
