00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This video is where should the club point in the pump drill?

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So I've created a little visual alignment so that if you're doing this at home, you can

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
replicate what I'm seeing.

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So here I've got kind of a imaginary target line with the one stick and then I've got

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
another alignment stick just perpendicular to it.

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
So I like the pump style drills of kind of feeling the rhythm and the movement when

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
you're rehearsing a new position, especially if it's kind of a dramatically

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
different pattern.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Because then your brain just tends to kind of get in the rhythm and it forgets the

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
your normal tension and your normal pattern.

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
So what we're going to do with this is we're going to look at the pump drill and how

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
where the club is pointing at different parts.

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Because I commonly get the question of where should the grip point?

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Should I point at the golf ball down at my feet, out parallel?

00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
So there's a little bit confusion.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
I want to try to clear that up.

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:06,000
So if I've got my golf ball and I'm in my setup position here, I've got this one on the

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
ground representing the target line and I've got this one perpendicular.

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Because what you'll see is where the grip point depends on how far down you're pumping.

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I typically like three different areas where three different length of pumps depending

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
on what you're working on.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
So if I were to just pump kind of a little bit more of just that weight shift with

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
absolutely no arm activity, you can see that from my perspective, this is pointing almost

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
perpendicular to the target line or along this yellow stick.

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
If I was to do what I consider kind of the classic or the normal pump, I'm going to pump

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
down to delivery position.

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Now that shaft is going to be at about a 45 degree angle or if I had the handle in the

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
bucket, the grip would be pointing kind of in the bucket there.

00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:02,000
So I could do that pump there a few times and then go ahead and swing through at the golf

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
ball getting the way.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
The third option would be if I'm doing a little bit more of a pump down to about here

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
where I've already started the unhinged and I'm kind of pumping a little bit more that

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
release on the way through.

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
So some golfers attend to get a little bit more into that early extension of pattern

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
or that really steep arm pattern.

00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
You'll get very high at this point and so if I'm pumping staying in my posture a little

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
bit, I'll pump it all the way down to about shaft parallel.

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
So that can potentially look like this and you'll see that it shaft parallel.

00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
It's just inside if I wanted to hit a draw or pretty close to in line with it if I wanted

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
to hit a fade.

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
What I want to make sure is that it's not way out towards the golf ball so similar

00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
to the wall drill.

00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:58,000
So if I wanted to pump that kind of second pattern would be pumping kind of down to

00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
about there.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
So the pump drill is a versatile drill and where the grip points will depend on how far

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,000
you're going down but roughly what it will look like is early on if I'm doing just

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
the weight shift by you pump it'll be perpendicular.

00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
I'm going all the way down to delivery position and it'll be about 45.

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I'm going down towards shaft parallel it'll be just inside of parallel.

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And then from there I'm basically using all the good bracing and release mechanics to

00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
then get into that follow-through position.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
So if you're struggling with your pump drill hopefully this helps you visualize the path

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
of the club as it relates to different phases within the pump.
