Some readers requested a DTL view of my cutting-edge swing:
I'm nevertheless a little steep for my tastes at the downswing, however this is a excellent development and the release is a good deal extra solid.
Normally this clubface could be rotated greater closed at this point.
And this was now not a toe strike to make the face open up through impact.
I even have commenced to have some light bulbs turn on on the subject of my swing thanks to the classes from Denny Lucas and Jeff Haas in conjunction with the movies from Joe Mayo, Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, Grant Waite and George Gankas.
There are nevertheless some things I need to work on.
I tend to bend over and hunch over too much at address. In order to prevent that I've stood more upright at address. But that has also caused me to reach for the ball too much. This is a 5-iron being swung here. I think the hands should be more under the chin...particularly the right index finger. I'm reaching a little bit to the ball and that is making it difficult to pivot on the downswing. Much like Moe Norman who reached for the ball and he dipped and slid on the downswing instead of rotating. As many know, I'm a huge fan of Moe, but I'm not trying to swing the same mechanics as he had.
We've mentioned this numerous instances about how the right femur and hip has to greater or less 'stay back' and externally rotate whilst he left femur and left hip will separate and rotate in the different course.
But prior to that as inside the Mayo motion pictures show, you need to decrease the pelvis adequately sufficient before you begin rotating. We can decrease the pelvis thru left hip flexion in transition.
I can be running on a higher series to my transition of:
1. Lowering the pelvis.
2. Rotating the left hip while the right hip/femur goes into external rotation
I tend to rotate the pelvis before I lower it. And that causes me to start pushing with the right leg/foot and sliding the pelvis. Therefore, I start to stall out my rotation and the shaft will start to pull down more and thus steepen.
There are some other swing keys I've figured out that I think have been very beneficial to me thus far. I will see how they progress before I start to discuss them here.
