Hi Shawn. Hope you’re doing well.
Can you comment on how this relates to the “recentering” move that is talked about all the time now.
Should I be actively “pushing” from the inside of my right foot during the second half of the backswing and during transition? I’m right handed.
Thanks for your help and I hope my question makes sense.
Hi John!
no, nothing of the sort, we want to stay of the cold hard task and I want you to see “contact mile markers” and feel where you need to be to accomplish the task in that video. Let me know about any questions or Ah Ha moments!
I just watched the “brace” video and this video raises more questions: (1) Why would you brace on the left to start the swing and then nearly transfer all that weight to the right by lifting the left heel in the backswing? (2) Would it not be simpler to start with a 50/50 balance weight distribution?
Hey Gregg! I know where you are coming from; the key is to look at the purpose of everything; see “perpetual motion drill series” and “kinetic chain series” and realize that we are not still or static at address, we are already in the follow through (weight into left side slightly) and in the process of swinging into the backswing to gather range of motion and momentum so we can easily facilitate the engagement of our natural reflex action called the kinetic chain towards the target.
Quarterbacks, baseball pitchers and hitters, martial artists,boxers, you name the sport or discipline in track and field to propel objects, it is all the same kinetic sequence!
I took a two-year break from Wisdom in Golf and tried a different swing method. However, due to a knee injury (not golf-related) and the effort required to use the technique, I decided to return here. For the past month, I have been practicing and getting mixed results. Some days, I can do no wrong–I strike the ball brilliantly and get positive comments from the guys at my range. Other days, my swing falls apart. Yesterday was one of those days. A video of my swing revealed that I was swaying.
I am still confused about the bracing in the lead leg. What percentage of the weight should be on the lead side at the address? How much weight gets transferred to the back leg during the backswing? You state above that weight transfer begins before the completion of the backswing. Is this possible if you have a pause at the top? Lifting the heel of the lead leg would require nearly all the weight to go to the back foot. How can you still brace from the front leg?
