Watney from a Year Ago

Just a quickie observe Nick Watney's swing. However, that is his swing from a yr ago, while he become within the midst of his top run of play. I'm simply going to present you a quick take a look at one of the methods he gets greater distance:

Watch that trailing elbow as he goes back, modifications path, and starts down. Nick has a fairly upright swing so his elbow gets a little farther from his side going up than I'd want to see. However, he uses a one-piece takeaway well into his backswing, so I won't bitch too much. ;-)

Note that on the top he doesn't quite get parallel, inspite of the motive force. A true shoulder turn does not require that the club attain parallel.

And finally, note how his trailing elbow gets closer to his side on the way down while his lead arm stays pretty straight. This is why his wrists stay cocked well into the downswing. (If you're trying to "hold the angle," you're just wasting your time. That late uncocking is a side effect of the correct downswing move; you can't get it by focusing on your wrists.) Too many of you are moving your trailing elbow away from your side as you start down. That causes your wrists to uncock early, even right at the top of the downswing. Thiat's called casting.

You want to learn how to do that "elbow moves closer to side" move? Check my Some Useful Post Series page. It's the first series called How to Use a Single-Plane Loop for Power and Accuracy.

There you cross, a short energy lesson. Have a laugh!
