“Why Can’t I Just Do That?”. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that question when a player looks at a practice swing, or a drill swing, and compares it side by side with the one that has to hit the ball. Jimmy knows what his issues are and is consciously trying to avoid doing what you see him doing here, but unfortunately for Jim his swing is an engrained pattern and if he gets off to a bad start the bad pattern will always be close to the same. Here we see Jimmy on the course (the Medalist Club- what a great place! Greens were glass, so much fun to play) sabotaging himself with his trigger, not an uncommon thing. Anyone with an early extension, right hip thrusting, goat humping issue simply cannot afford to have a “sitting” trigger where the knees bend towards the ball and the foot pressure moves towards the heels. He must become more aware of what his pelvis is doing, and the best way to get the brain to remember what to tell the muscles to do is to set up and start the club back with the midsection muscles engaged enough to either maintain or increase anterior pelvic tilt.
