hi shawn, you say in this lesson backswing levitation””’falling is not enough””’ and savannah adds some words which are very important but i cannot hear it or understand it. What is she saying ( 5 min 15 seconds). regards ernst from holland
She said you have to fall THROUGH (to the direction you want to start the ball) not just down.
I am absolutely lost with regards to arms falling and getting that feel.
The video you want to go see is one of our pillars, “arm swing vs body turn” and then go to “using the weight in your swing-axe drill with Savy”
Sav has her hands above her head at the end of her backswing. Your hands are also fairly high. Is that the goal of the backswing levitation – high hands?
Wide arc means high hands; see “purpose of the backswing” and “the backswing series” which takes a nice dive into that with Doc Moody. Lovely series! The key is feeling that you have access to throwing the club in the direction you want to start the ball. See also “grass whip training” series.
When I practice,I start backswing a foot or so in front of ball hitting irons
I make a complete backswing making better contact
does anyone play like this or should I work on a knee bump to initiate swing pmd

Actually, there is nothing preventing you from playing like that at all! Very valid way to go about it!
The pelvic tilt at the top of Savys swing is very prominent. Could this be a result of her trail hip rising from that trail leg straightening and that lead knee breaking inward ? It seems to me that this would add to the sensation of the club levitating during the backswing. Been working on this all day along with my perpetual motion drill.
The legs BOTH extend in the backswing; she is now allowing the lead heel to come up and then is fully committing to throwing the club with carefree assertiveness in the direction she wants to start the ball.
