Hi Wayne,
I hope all is well.
Your instruction is really clicking with me.
I’ve been limited on time with work, hip recovery, and having two little kids. But this forces me to focus intensely and limit my practice to 99% slow motion and or drills.
So an hour early a.m. and late at night of focused drilling with your concepts has seemed to change my swing pattern already. Plus, I haven’t played golf since October with my hip still not 100%, so all my old bad habits aren’t allowed to creep back.
I dedicated almost all of my focus to changing my takeaway as you suggested. Everything else was just conceptualizing the feels I have from trans to post impact.
I look forward to your analysis, and suggestions on what to work on.
I provided videos of my right arm only drills, as well as normal full swings.
Best,
Parker
As we will see here Parker has done a great job incorporating the first two lessons. We also see how difficult it is to get the hands to move toward the ball in transition after having them drop vertically forever. The main thing here that will help Parker will be to not over- exaggerate the height and width of the right arm going back. Parker has actually overdone this, and I give him ways to think about getting the swing started without excessive downward push of the left shoulder, which is pushing his hands down in the takeaway, causing his head to drop too much too early, and getting the right arm too high at left arm parallel. We want an early upper trunk turn but Parker can back off on this a bit. The good news is that when you overdo something it is easier to dial it down than it is to get a stubborn habit that never seems to change to really do something different.
