Lee Westwood on Weight Distribution (Video)

Of direction I'm taking a examine the vintage men this week! Here is Lee Westwood demonstrating a right weight shift.

I'm using Lee's video here to illustrate something approximately golf swings -- specifically, that what we're doing is frequently incredibly one-of-a-kind from the manner our rationalization makes it sound.

Look at Lee's demonstration of ways you need to shift your weight all through the backswing (it is proper around the :20 mark). See how an awful lot his body seems to transport to his right aspect?

Now observe his actual swing (across the :37 mark). You'll see that his body isn't moving to his proper facet almost as an awful lot as his demonstration would have you believe!

In both parts of the video, the precept that he desires you to analyze -- that his proper hip is braced to save you a sway -- is the identical. But whilst he makes his actual swing, there's even less movement than inside the demo because he's the use of his entire body to make the real swing, in place of remoted muscular tissues in the turn inside the demo.

That's not unusual every time a participant or trainer is teaching a lesson. The demo is an remoted, perhaps even exaggerated move whilst the swing makes use of the demo'ed move "in context" and is less exaggerated. You can paintings on a specific position to your swing all you need, however it will constantly look slightly exclusive while you make the real swing at complete pace.

Lee's anti-sway circulate is a great one to analyze. But mastering that the actual execution of that move is slightly extraordinary is a good precept to recollect on every occasion you're looking to research something new.
