Hi Wayne,
Recently joined your website. I like a lot of your ideas and think you can provide some help for my game. I’m still a scratch player but my best golfing days were about 15 years ago when I was consistently ranked as top player in Northern California. I know my swing decently. I tend to run away from club and have never had a lot of lag. Somehow, I still get hands at or even which I think allows me to play pretty well at times. I’ve never been able to fix the runaway problem and have always wondered if I was able to change that would lag would show up. Biggest part of game that plagues me is driver. If I drove it better, I could still compete at a pretty high level. Any ideas w props or other things would be appreciated to help me with this process. Thanks for taking the time.
Trent
Watching Trent’s swing I see right away that he is a center/left loader and that the twisting of his pelvis toward his center in the backswing is causing issues later in transition and the forward swing. I would like to see him try loading his hips to the right, and I suggest that he put a chair or some other weighty object against his right hip at address, so he can feel himself bumping into it as he starts his swing. I would also like to see him move his head immediately to the right as he starts. My hope is that if he loads to the right he will gain width at the top and have an easier time sequencing his swing. From the position he gets his hips into now he tilts his pelvis more level as he changes direction, losing posture and filling up the space he would like to use to get his right arm to pass more freely in front of his chest and his hands to pass by closer to his body. It would be a major change for Trent to add posture in transition rather than losing it, and to do so he needs to feel his belt buckle curl under and into him so that the pelvis will gain anterior tilt. I don’t think he can do it (or at least he hasn’t at this point) when his pelvis is twisted to the left in the backswing, which is why I want him to try right loading and then feeling like he is “bowing” and adding bend in his waist in transition.
