safe swing

full backswing and then arms only swing. let left arm separate from body. drag hands through. finish high. it is critically important to keep left shoulder stable. Tendency is to spin out shoulder. hands swing down shoulder line but do not rotate hands. remember sweeping the broom 6i-wedges- hit down on ball driver- 5i sweeping swing. swing out to right field. retain right wrist bend. watch tempo. don't jerk club up. ------- alignment pick spot little in front of ball line up club face. take stance with feet together and then move feet into aligned position. narrow stance for now.

lessons

working on weight shift. shift weight towards right field. tendency is to rotate without shifting. shift weight first. relax arms and swing,allowing hands to turn over remember to finish with tucked left arm setup with head back on all shots. head is trying to remain still. pick spot on ball.

lesson

weight shift very important right hip to right field. stomach to right field. club should be dragged by body weight into ball and bottom out in front of ball. right arm should be extended and follow through wraps around neck driver-be careful of angle of attack may need to envision ball near right foot to get club head down.

lesson pointers

flat left wrist. focus on hands passing 4" in front of ball. avoid swaying back. push off right foot. bump dump, turn. let right shoulder pass under chin. think of pitcher winding up. keep slow tempo on backswing. finish backswing and turn elbows.

driver lesson

backswing tempo can get quick swing in to out. remember to swing in to out, keep both arms straight as long as possible. hands extended from shoulder even after ball contact, hands rotated over. relaxed hands, let turn over concentrate on shallow approach and maintaining shallow path after the ball. club will fold over shoulder and can rebound. second part is weight shift push weight forwards if this is not working well, revert to gary player swing with leg follow through
