Rory on Missing It Left into the Wind (Video)

This Morning Drive video is a chunk lengthy, however Rory's tip begins just after the three:30 mark.

Rory's problem, at the same time as as a result of hitting into the wind, is one which quite a few golfers struggle with irrespective of the weather. In case you don't recognize what he's speakme approximately, I'll attempt to put it in less complicated phrases.

Here's Rory's description of the problem:

?Sometimes when I hit a whole lot of pictures into the wind, I get a piece an excessive amount of on my left side at the way down, and my left knee begins to head ahead, my fingers get too deep in the downswing and then I begin missing it left."

And his solution:

?On the variety [Friday] night, I turned into without a doubt just trying to feel like my left knee receives out of the manner so my arms can come down in front of me a little bit greater, and I can start the ball a bit bit more on-line.?

What Rory means is that, during his downswing, he shifts his weight so far forward that he slides toward the target instead of turning his hips. When he slides toward the target, his lead knee moves too far toward the target and his belt buckle turns to face the target too late. Some players would refet to this as 'moving ahead of the ball'.

Or, to put it every other way, his knee movements parallel to his aimline, causing his higher frame to transport past the ball and his hips to show too past due. As a result, his fingers do not swing past his frame at effect -- they do not 'come down in front of him' -- and he finally ends up flipping his wrists and pulling the shot.

To restore this hassle, he began considering straightening his lead knee at effect. That precipitated him to forestall sliding in the direction of the target -- what a few gamers name 'posting up' -- so he can flip his belt buckle to stand the goal. And while his hips turned, so did his upper body and his fingers, and that let his palms 'came down in the front of him'.

Rory definitely stopped shifting so far ahead in the course of his downswing and started pushing up as he hit the ball. That makes his higher body stay steadier over the ball so the clubface squares up more certainly.

If that is a hassle you war with, you may apprehend what he's speaking about. If you do not apprehend, then you definately in all likelihood don't want to worry approximately it right now.
