Hi Wayne,
I’m really enjoying–and appreciate–your concepts.
I’ve been working on what you advised in the last video lesson. I’ve worked especially hard on fixing the transition move.
My hip recovery is coming around, too, so I hope to be almost full speed in a few weeks.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Parker has made tremendous progress with his swing, as shown in the side by side of the older iron swing with the new and improved one. He is still at odds with his left arm lifting as he moves into transition, and here I show him how he has to move if he continues to pinch his right arm in front of him in the backswing. Of course, I would rather he flare the arm more and get it deeper at left arm parallel, as I think this is a much easier way to get the left arm across the chest. Moving the right arm this way also encourages a more athletic movement, as you would never think of throwing sidearm with your elbow tucked in as you wind up with the ball in your hand. Getting the upper right arm higher, deeper and wider going back will allow Parker to better complete his backswing turn. The way he is doing it now makes it more likely that he will cut off his turn and finish the backswing by lifting his arms.
