need to keep head level throughout backswing and transition 1)settle into athletic stance 2)to ensure head stability, will keep left shoulder pinned to chest on backswing. need to keep shoulder from passing chin on backswing arms go back and level and then up with elbows turning steering wheel at same time. to help allow shoulder to stay level. turn shoulders around central pivot. right shoulder around body and up. fire arms try to make sure club pinches ball and sweet spot a few grooves up strikes ball. try to reduce amount of forward press at setup. bunker play. can't go fat, pay attention to right wrist need momentum, not speed stick bounce in sand just under ball, finish swing with club over right shoulder.

progress

Full swing right shoulder controls length of backswing; remember to let elbows turn steering wheel right shoulder back,right shoulder to left foot on down swing soft arms slide club under ball and then slowly allow club to rise; tendency to get too steep. with driver, set up very level. keep bottom of club at ball height, tendency to drop on full swing, like jamie sadlowski talked about with the elevated tee. swing level. right shoulder controls backswing length. Pitches must keep elbows under control if elbows roll open, can shank the ball. finish with right hand tendency to let backswing get too long

Swing thoughts

Keep arms ahead of body! Finish right arm. Keep elbows ahead of belly button. Bad swings usually from arms stuck behind body. Especially pitches. Rotate steering wheel on backswing. Especially on pitches, need to be aware of left elbow. Rotate steering wheel. Stay on target line. Visualize club mass moving into ball. Remember Monte excess head movement video. Drill with left eye shut and right eye shut If ball going left , consider whether head moving forward. Need to retain inside out swing and head back. Imagine shallow swing like airplane taking off

range sessions post monte

keep right humerus moving forward left arm off chest short backswing 1-2 count to limit lift at end of swing, right elbow to belly button keep chest turning on target line (iron man chest light) head alignment-head up a little, look down on ball keep left elbow rotated out to maintain levels, full swing and pitching. must finish right arm swing!!!

Monte 3

Monte 3 Bunker play swing right arm fully with open face (However if hardpan light, need to engage bounce, but clubface slightly open to lower leading edge) Keep body still Finish swing with right humerus forward (failure to do this is cause of blades) Concern is spinning out with hips (this is usually cause of bad shots) Trouble means hands held on or body spin Keep spine stable on backswing!!! Turn belly button, keep right arm moving in front of belly button Don't lift!!!! Full swing. Laser from sternum stays on target line backswing to finish. Turn not lift Backswing -laser stays on target line Downswing turn chest down target line Right elbow to belly button Right shoulder to ball Get left arm off chest! Finish swing

Monte 2

Monte 2 Head still, aimed down line. Eye line needs to be parallel to target line. Alignment very important for me. Head neutral. Consider lifting head slightly at setup and looking down on ball a little more. Be careful of lifting on backswing. Think of leaning down with left shoulder on backswing. work on 1-2 count and then swing 1 ends backswing and 2 is contact. Right Elbow to belly button Right shoulder to ball On follow through, get left arm off chest! tiny nudge of right hip is all that is needed iron man chest light remains on target line, slight body tilt at end of swing keep right elbow in front of belly button, don't let body outrace elbows on down swing To hit it low with low spin, ball forward and get arms really forward Alignment Field goal 12" in front of ball for target Ball Position Driver armpit wedge sternum Pitching. Tendency to lift remains Putting Get right arm forward Keep hips stable swing the club, don't hit the ball voodoo green reading

Monte 1

Monte In bunker speed is enemy Accelerate like a minivan right humerus forward keep weight stable until very end of swing just slight bump forward maintain levels When pitching get right humerus forward. Keep right arm moving. maintain levels. I tend to lift up at end of backswing. 1-2 count to control (shorten) backswing. left elbow out to quiet thumping tendency Blades come from accelerating too much and club kicks up Right shoulder drops leading not to shank. Get right shoulder forward instead of down Full swing Left shoulder , right shoulder drill Rotate shoulders around spine Left shoulder to ball keep low Prob: Lose spine angle then head lifts then swing in to out. Need to keep head from lifting and dropping, tend to let head rotate when left shoulder moves Keep arms in front of chest Get right arm way forward and allow soft arms to finish shot Arms forward enough will take care of chicken wing. Drill where right arm way forward will help limit backswing. Hips open after that.
