Shawn,
I am very right eye dominant. Could this influence the tendency I have to move forward on the downswing?
Just replied to Calvin! The eye dominancy is not an issue when you are dealing with the arc-blur of the club in relation to the intermediate point! See “arc-blur unstoppable momentum” series.
Shawn, what is the weight distribution during the swing i.e. at top of my back swing how much weight on right. Not sure what you mean when you say right against left etc.
Try this instead: go to the “walking drill” video and perform that task; then film yourself in the transition as your left foot hits the ground; you will see the correct “position” there and as you continue, be aware of how centred you feel during the motion; make sure you are walking and cutting in a specific direction!
Shawn, I have been looking for a way to stop moving my upper body ahead of the ball on the down swing. Maybe some earlier instruction advocated a lifting of the trail heel as the weight shifted to the forward leg. Being bolted to the ground with trail foot until after impact should help in staying behind the ball. Any other videos to help with this problem?
Thanks.
Yes, see “blur of club” and then “blur of club unstoppable momentum”
If you stay with the blur of club in the direction you want to start the ball, head cannot move forward.
Use this task as your “target confirmation; stayed with my task all the way past the ball into my finish.
SC, I found a better balance and weight shift feel by keeping my knees in a tighter rotation
on the BS and DS. Does that make sense ? It’s a nuance thing but wow I’ve noticed better
ball striking, less pulls going left of target.. Even though I WAS feeling centered and balanced,
finding this tighter turn with my knees and I guess my femurs provides better structure and
balance. Not sure about power though…
Thoughts ?
You said elbows in front
Does that mean elbows rotate toward hips inner elbows facing out?
Yes! Very good!
