If you have study this weblog for any length of time or examine any of my books, you already know I make a huge deal out of what I call "the gravity swing." I assume it's a crucial concept for any golfer who wants to get higher as it makes a number of the basic swing basics appear almost robotically.
Well, Martin Hall has in the end posted a drill video that specializes in using gravity in your swing. It's one in all his Night School videos -- because of this it wasn't proven on the TV display -- and it particularly focuses on your downswing (my gravity drills usually recognition on the whole swing motion). It's very simple... And you've got were given to like drills that reference both Fred Flintstone and the Karate Kid!
Martin calls this a "gravity drop" and it helps you comprise the feeling of your fingers falling into your downswing move. It's quite simple and I recommend you attempt it.
One component I'd like to factor out: Although Martin makes a huge deal out of the decrease frame shift when you definitely incorporate this into your swing -- and I do suppose Martin (like many teachers) exaggerates that hip slide to the point that it'll reason back pain -- pay near attention to how Sara Brown swings the usage of the circulate. She does NOT make a big hip slide but makes a superb swing.
One extra note: Those of you who watch School of Golf will know that Sara has a problem with pull-hooking. Please note that she hits the ball almost straight by using this move, even though it is likely the first time Martin had her try it. (Martin has often said that she is doing things for the first time on the show.) It will help you straighten a slice as well because, by relaxing your arms, you won't stop the natural tendency of your hands to square up the club face as your body rotates. It's worth a little of your practice time!
