Golf jump: reverse the arms of a normal jump

The instructor teaches a 'golf jump' drill for producing vertical force. Unlike a normal vertical jump, where you squat with your arms going down and then throw your arms up as you jump, in the golf swing the arms go up as you lower and come down as you jump. So in the drill, as you squat down you lift your arms up, and as you jump you let your arms come down.
