Dear Shawn, during a swing, are we supposed to mainly generate power from our lower body and use the upper body to simply ‘get out of the way ‘? Or should we use the upper body to generate swing speed as well? I notice that I add considerable swing speed when I use the upper body, but lose the control. In the other hand, my ball goes straighter when I use the lower body only to generate power.
The key is to use a task to bring the whole machine to action; cut a stem or throw the club to the target and predict you will cut the stem of the dandelion if you do! The brain commands the automated system at 12 million bits of information per second; the conscious mind is way-way-way-way toooo slowwww!!!!

Thanks. Very helpful. I will focus on the task of cutting the bamboo stick and throwing the club in the direction of the target.
I know we need to use pull for downswing, but I need to clarify the power source comes from lead hand or dominant hand? If dominant hand, it starts from hand or elbow?
It is the lead leg planting that engages the kinetic chain and this is what pulls everything though!
See the kinetic chain series on premium; amazing series!
I thought i was strong using my right hand and thinking about the skipping stone accross water drill but thinking about using the right hand would probably break the kinetic chain
Loved this video. I feel I am hitting the ball at the right place when I imagine I need to cut the bamboo stick (ball) with the tip of my sword ie the club head. Otherwise my body was rotating too soon. Is that an okay mental model?
You bet! The best way to go and one of my favourite tasks; I use that task as my main one!
I have done these drills and they are awesome 👍 When i did ball on string i noticed that there is up/down and supination/pronation movements. Golf is not a thinking proces, but can you feel these same movements in sword drill? If you can, what is the timing of these movements?
Just subscribed and this video is stalling. My iPad is handling YouTube video fine so wonder what is problem.
Will try another lesson
