Hey Wayne, I’m a big fan mate, I’m from Australia and watch your videos all the time, I’m a big believer of a pivot driven golf swing and I like the idea of swallowing the club early and using the ground and would love to incorporate these traits in my swing. I’m a 2 hdc.am and any help would be good. Thanks again. Harley
It’s obvious why Harley is a low handicap player: he has an excellent swing. In this lesson my suggestions focus on posture and transition, where I see Harley raising up from P3 to P4 and then dropping his hands and right arm behind him from P4 to P5. I trace this issue back to Harley’s initial posture at address, where being a bit heavy in the heels and not really out over the ball leads to the right side of his lower body not deepening in the backswing, and as his pelvic motion works into his left hip heading to the top he lifts his arms and comes off his tush line. The usual pattern follows where you can see the butt end of the grip work backwards behind his right side while his hips continue to drive out toward the ball. Like I said before, Harley has a good swing so none of these issues are egregious, but for good players seeking the next level of ball striking I feel the attention to detail here is of utmost importance. I again compare Harley’s posture to Adam Scott, who I feel has a great athletic balance at address that promotes the swing motion moving from the balls of the feet at address back into the right heel in the backswing then into the left heel in the forward swing, with the pelvis staying deep and the head staying out over the ball.
