Fantastic video on two points for me. Firstly it reinforces clearly that the top of the back swing is tension free …in perfect balance focusing 100 per cent on the end of the kinetic chain (like a pitcher would focus on the release point of his throw). Secondly, it clarifies that at the end of the kinetic chain one is pulling away from the target slightly, exactly like snapping a towel in a wet towel fight,(or cracking a whip). It was also interesting to observe that most times each of you did the snap better (could see the slight movement of the upper body away from the target at the snap) on the second swing than on the first…in my opinion showing how the presence of the ball always seems to draw at least part of our attention away from the target.
Great post Dan! Thank you for taking the time to deliver your aha moments!
Shawn, 1st swing vs 2nd swing observation: In the 1st swing it looks like you are placing the club in the backswing but in the 2nd swing it looks like you are tossing the the club to the top in the backswing as happens in the perpetual motion drill. I love this drill. Anticipating having to do the 2nd swing, I guess the central nervous system makes the 1st swing better. Make sense?
Exactly! I have built this mental response into all my swings now and my first swings have much more integrity and poise. I am getting ready to deliver 2 releases into the direction I want to start the ball and the posture integrity is significantly better and getting better with every rep! 😀👍💪👌
