Wayne D. in Boca: More Progress

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I feel that I am making progress more quickly now that I feel better and can actually do some of the things I’ve been thinking about for years. This week I’ve had a chance to test out the more erect set up with less knee flex and I like the look and function of it although it has not produced as much lowering as I had expected in the backswing. It has, however, given me a greater feeling of loading into the right hip which has made a big difference in my ability to sequence the transition from the ground without leaning forward toward my left toes with the upper trunk. I had the idea of rotating my chin as I started (or before) the club back that made a huge difference in my ability to get the club up on the plane in the takeaway instead of having it stay too low to the ground. This sets up a whole different motion pattern that eventually allows the body to open up more and club to exit more left through impact. My next goal is to bend my left wrist down earlier in the downswing in order for it to lead better through impact.
