In this lesson you will see Phil over-doing some of the things we have discussed in his first two lessons, which I think is a very good thing as changes are rarely made unless the player exaggerates new ideas and feeling. Phil’s trigger movement here is a major deepening of the pelvis, but as he loads he drops down and back into his heels and his head backs away from the original forehead line. There is no drill to keep the head out over the ball that you can do on the range (you can lean your forehead against a wall to feel that you are staying on it when you swing back), so it is simply an idea that you have to put into your thoughts as you practice. Because Phil loads so far back and down he has little choice but to use his right glute to push the right leg back up toward the ball to start the forward swing, which of course we don’t want to do. I think if he tempers his trigger by staying taller and more out over the ball initially he will go a long way toward fixing his tendency to push up under himself in the forward swing.
