Hi Laurent! Please see the “pre-motor cortex series” which is incredibly important to prepare the mind and body to the right task and the feel of the task desired just before you swing. Then see the “perpetual motion series” to practice the rhythm and tempo needed to continue to swing without stopping as well as the “walking drill”. My favourite drill is the 2 swing drill where you hit the ball on the first swing but you must continue through a second swing and hold the finish at the end of the second swing.
Hi Shawn, been working hard as prescribed but I want to check in on something I experienced to see if it is real. Turns out it is not the forearms that help feel the Arm/Club weight..seems to be the pressure from the floor that allows me to feel Arm/Club into and through the back swing.
I found I can more easily feel the weight through the toss when I use the momentum of the transition of pressure to the trail foot to start the club toss into back swing. However, there is a distinct sequence, pressure toward inside of trail foot then movement of club into back swing being leveraged by the pressure in the inside heel of the trail foot. If it is not in that order then it I don’t feel the A/C as much probably because it is out of sync or manipulated by the upper body/arms. Is that a kinetic chain helping with the back swing toss?
I know when throwing the club you talk about planting the foot to get the body out of the way then throwing the club with the legs. You say it in that order…what I did not realize is there is a sequence to it. Pressure move then club move off that pressure. I guess that’s how you throw a baseball, so it makes sense but wanted to confirm I’m on the right track. I think before I was trying sync the back swing toss with the pressure move and was not in tune with how the body wanted to me to react to the pressure and sequence things to activate the chain maybe?
This synced idea might be piece of misinformation from baseball long ago. I was taught to stride toward the ball as you are swinging to hit the ball. I see now that would be terrible because you have no lead foot pressure/leverage from the ground to transfer into the ball. Explains why I had what I call “warning track” power.
I hope I’m onto something and not chasing a wild hare. It upped my PW from about 107 to 120 yds when I did it right so I’m looking forward to trying it on longer clubs as well…if this is real.
Thanks and keep up the good work. I really am enjoying the off season series thus far. It is good to see different swings from the 3 of you and how there are different ways to get to a similar place. Gives me hope!
This is such a great post and AHA moment! We will be talking about the swing’s DUAL KINETIC CHAIN more often in the future as this is really engaging our student’s swings in so many positive ways; from the timing, tempo, rhythm standpoints to the power and turbo charging of the snap to the target. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this into a post for us Tom! 😀👍👌💪
I am starting to get a lot of width with the diagnol stance which I have started to try out on the course which in turn helps me load much better and the throw also is very strain free because of better engagement of the KC. 👍🏻
That is terrific Mohanjit, right on! The feel of this set up is very sound.
