It’s been 3 years since I had my back operated on and 1 year since I had my elbow operated on and I’m feeling like I can finally do some of the things I teach and talk about all the time. I had somewhat of an epiphany when I did videos of Tommy Fleetwood and Tiger and watched their pelvic movement in transition. I always lose height and pressure between P2 and P4, and I wind up driving my weight too far into the front of my left foot, which slows my hip rotation (my left hip is too far forward to be able to clear in a timely fashion), encourages me to drive my right leg toward the ball, and my swing exits well to the right of the plane. This is not a recipe for success. In these swings I am thinking about lowering from P3 to P4, then more from P4 to P5. You will see that I still lift a bit from P3 to P4 (click here if you’d like an explanation of “P” positions), but the attempt to increase my pelvic tilt while rotating and driving forward is doing nice things to my overall pivot movement, especially with my lower body, which clears faster and creates vertical force into impact. Watching the shaft stay on the shaft plane past impact makes me very happy. The crazy thing is that it feels more upward than left.
