swing thoughts

Trying short backswing and abbrievated follow through tendencies are to chicken wing with left arm and over rotate hands during down swing. My lack of feel is apparent, so we will be trying to hold the hands off. during this new swing, the hands feel like they are just dragged along for the ride. do not let them turn over. do not cast with the right wrist. just feel as if the final move is the hands set and then keep them there as long as possible. buump,dump and turn-monte video on golfwrx short backswing, dump arms, watch clubhead take very shallow path back to ball. especially with driver. okay to be a little steeper with irons and especially wedges. but swing in to out. arms should be far away from body after contact, with hands back, right hand palm up. create space with moving zipper to 10:30 monte video early extension keep head still! watch clubhead pass inside and shallow near left foot on downswing. like baseball player hitting home run. head is back.

driver swing lesson

DO NOT LET BACKSWING GET TOO LONG swing back (counting 1-2-3) swing arms along newly established shoulder line. Concentrate on swing from hip to ball. like cracking a whip. continue to extend down that line. right elbow should be fully in front of hip More advanced swing will have arms rotate through and hips fire

new driver swing 2

work on alignment of feet need to control length of backswing, can get too long easily. backswing should be linked. arms and body turn together backswing-count 1,2,3 swing back, keep back turned away from target, let arms swing down shoulder line. next step will be adding slight rotation to add draw to the push i am working on now. keep arms in front of body.

driver swing lesson

the goal of today's lesson was to concentrate on the feel of the clubhead. the focus area is from hip down to ball. the emphasis is to swing the club to the ball and then stop. the path should be inside out. remember to leave right shoulder back. the feel is casting the club immediately. hips are relatively stable. remember to control clubhead with right index finger maintain width in backswing and downswing. do not reroute at the top, do not drop club at the top, swing back on same path that backswing took. remember image of downswing is that right shoulder comes forward a little but shoulder remain closed to line, then arms sweep through. for my swing i will just hold right shoulder steady and hips steady.

driver swing

relax arms. keep right arm extended back, don't allow it to collapse. goal is to maintain width. make sure club is square to line at setup. for me, this means driver clubhead looks slightly closed. swing in to out. keep right arm extended even after striking ball.

post bandon/ 1st lesson

short irons-turn chest to ball and let arms swing past. no hands/arms. chest driven swing. maintain chest/arm relationship, don't lash at ball long irons 4/5-turn chest through ball. swing club back shallow. no hands/arms. chest driven swing. maintain chest/arm relationship, don't lash at ball driver swing- swing in to out. remember to let clubhead pass hands. like snapping towel. don't let arms collapse in transition. keep right arm close to body, swing in to out. clubface slightly closed at setup is actually square to target line. maintain chest/arm relationship, don't lash at ball. try to hit push. driver swing is flat compared to iron swing. finish swing. no chicken wing.

driver swing

driver swing different than iron swing in both swings, i want right arm to stay relatively extend. driver swing is flatter. use body turn to control length of backswing. keep right arm extended through swing. FINISH SWING http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/834375-a-journey-to-making-golf-fun-using-i-teach/ during iron swing, hands are passive, hip turn drives swing. During driver swing, use very little hip turn. keep head focused on pretend ball. make sure swing is not steep by throwing clubhead down. very active hands. finish backswing, then throw clubhead down right away. No hip turn. keep back to target. keep right arm extended through swing. FINISH SWING hybrids are like iron swing. FINISH SWING
