Another great video. Love the slow mo showing the “double pendulum” and release foreword. It amazes me, watching Savy and your swings, how for most golfers the brain sabotages this process with a ball strike mentality. It feels so great when that sequence is created and so incredibly frustrating when the chain is broken. One of my first lessons with you was the elephant walk later becoming the grass whip- cut. This is now a pre shot routine for me to focus on the feel of the correct sequence. My 5 year old granddaughter knows all about cutting dandelions . OMG….en francais…OMD…..n’est ce pas? Thanks.J.
Haha oui!
Good pre-shot routine; I was with a student this week who experienced this for the first time with the sword drill and when she did a full sword drill sessions of 2 right hand-2 left hand-2 both hands on the grip but swing horizontally like a baseball swing-then deliver that feel through to the intermediate point with a dandelion cut prediction, WHAM! 20 more yards. So much fun!!
I have fought the club for years trying to control it, throwing from the top with my hands & shoulders. I was hitting into the nets after my chiro appointment this morning and I was using what another instructor calls the heave to get the club to the top of the back swing. I guess that would be your levitation. After the initial heave the club felt like it coasted to the top, floated there for a second, then started falling. As my arms and the club fell back down I turned my body accelerating the arm club unit through the ball. I have never been able to feel this. My wedge & 9 iron were solid, the 6 iron was a little harder to hit consistently and the 5 wood and driver were bad until as you pointed out in this video the swing on a flatter plane.
I can’t wait till spring to play!
Fantastic! That is exactly what it should feel like with the shorter irons; and yes on the longer clubs on what we touched on!
Is the trail leg getting straight on the backswing and the led leg straightens at posting up?
When you take the club back on the backswing , are the arms moving like a door opening or like a dog door . Hope that makes sense!. Cause I feel like I can do both!
We are doing both simultaneously actually!
The body is like the door and the arms are like the doggie door; nice blend of both! You know you are doing things right when you are using the arm club unit to cut grass in both directions without stopping; see the beginner series for that as well as the “grass whip training series”
Understand , seen those . But is the initial move like the door opening , other words moving to the right for a right handed and then the arms elevate in front of chest. My shoulders are moving the club to the right of me and elevating.
Sometimes I just want to elevate only and come down at impact like a hammer!
That last description of hammering down on the ball is the perfect way to swing IF THE BALL WAS THE TARGET. See “hammer drill” video to hammer the ball TOWARDS THE TARGET!! And that swing will be a thing of the past!
Sorry for all the questions, I’m trying to break this 5 handicap for the last 2 years. So verifying these issues is very helpful. I just get tired of shooting 78 one day and then 70 the next.
Let’s do it!
I have always loved the pause at the top of my backswing as a checkpoint to ensure that I am still with my initial intermediate point come time for the down swing.
Been having some difficulty with my 30-60 yard pitch shots…
How would this drill be applied to pitching of the golf ball because on occasion there is little to a very small amount of wrist hinge needed for these shots.
Good stuff! Have a look at the kinetic chain series for this; we have one specific to pitching!
Plus more to come in the following weeks; see also Flow state series” on pitching
Exellent👍 I noticed when i was trying to do “double pendulum short stop throw” my grip was much lighter. When i was doing “revolving door slinging, collect release throw” my grip was much more tighter. So maybe the task can also effect your plane? I mean the task gives you automaticly right grip pressure and plane? Does this make any sense?
Fantastic comment; yes!! Very good!
