winter 2012 lesson 1

focusing on the body we are now proceeding to focus on the body turn rather than the hands tension and trying to control the ball are my problem. trying to control the ball results in chicken wing and not finishing the swing. so relax the hands as much as possible swing the club back, keeping arms extended. let the backswing finish and then turn the body on an inside out plane. leave hands behind and let the body swing the arms. keep head steady, while visualizing club path past right foot. if hands and arms are relaxed, i will finish the swing completely with club rebounding off the back. focus on hitting ball. typically i need to have a slightly steeper backswing than my tendency to avoid my normal problem of hitting behind the ball. if i don't rebound, i have tensed the left arm or hand.
