Message to Wayne: Hello Wayne I just purchased a lesson. I’m a big fan of your philosophy. I am a big believer that pivot compression allows the right arm and right wrist to retain angles through impact which helps the club from flipping. I used to come in high with the shaft from down the line at impact but have made progress with that. But I just can’t seem to get the down in the backswing and further Down in the forward swing I see with Sergio Hogan player Trevino etc. I always seem to fully straitened right arm and flip down by impact. I’m a 3 hcp by the way with a good short game but I’m a poor driver miss a lot of fairways. Both ways. Thx
It’s easy to see why Aaron can play to a 3 handicap with a good short game as his swing has enough good stuff in it to get him around the course. It is apparent to me that Aaron’s concern with his pivot is a correct issue to focus on, and in the video most of what I suggest has to do with the body at address and then how he loads it in the backswing to prepare him for a more effective transition. Aaron’s first move is to left load, with his head leaning immediately to the left, making extension and width difficult to accomplish. I’d like him to adjust his set up to a wider stance, a bit more room away from the ball, and taller, with his chin up and pressure a bit more on the balls of his feet. From there I want him to work on moving his pressure to the right immediately in the takeaway, trying to stretch away from center with his upper trunk moving his arms and shoulders, then maintaining that feeling of width by using right arm extensor action with wrist cock so that his arms don’t get so jammed into his side in transition. When he does this, he will need to pay attention to his right foot brace as it tends to roll to the outside of the foot. Also important will be his work on changing his pelvic movement in transition from an underneath sitting action that levels the hips to the proper pivot compression “crunch” move where the pelvis tilts downward and more space is created for the arms to come down, especially the right arm, which needs to unjam itself from the right side.
