I went out a couple days ago, on last swing of the round I realized I was doing the opposite of Rory – had tilt then in swing set to neutral. Thanks again for this video, I’m proving to myself that I can improve if I just keep working on it!
Great catch there Krista! When you match awareness that you have full access to target release delivery BECAUSE of the tilt of the head; things start improving fast!
I can also see the blur of the club better now! Blowing up the comments section 🙂
😝😝👊🫶
That round house situation is me! Good golly it was picture perfect.
I’m still wrestling with how my body and arm club unit work together, but it sure feels good to actually swing the club, versus what I was doing two years ago. You can’t display your wisdom enough, repetition is necessary.
Yes-Yes-Yes!! Thank you for the awesome comment Krista! 👍💪
Thank you and Happy Holidays!
AND YOU! 🫶🎄
Working on the tilt. I feel like my shoulders end up closed when I move into the tilt. But it looks to me like your feet and shoulders stay more together. Your alignment to your target line looks more square than mine feels. What is the correct feel as you move into the tilt?
Very good question; very important!
the key to the set up is to feel that the momentum of the swing has complete access to the direction you want to start the ball without any need to guide or steer. Then ball position and distance to ball as well as grip and club face should allow the ball to be well struck, start on the line wanted and feel like it will curve in the air the way you want it to. If you are not behind the ball enough, it will feel as it you will push right or have to reach back to not miss the ball. When you get behind the ball, you are also setting the tilt axis that will allow you to collect the grass along the ground and have access to releasing out into the direction of flight. Too much tilt and you will scuff the ground and hit up on the ball and too little tilt and you stick the club in the ground. Whatever it looks like is whatever it looks like. For many who are not used to it, it will feel CLOSED, but then you look on video and you see SQUARE. Another video to get this naturally is the “hammer drill” video. Enjoy!
Once again thanks Shawn for a great tidbit. I started using an alignment rod at the driving range as the door frame recently. As a way, like you said, to help me keep my head behind the ball. BOY was I surprised by how often I wasn’t behind the ball. And I am sure it is the kinetic chain thing, keeping my head behind the rod, that has me using the intermediate point correctly. Because when I notice that I have stayed behind the ball I can go to the right or left of the IP much easier. Still, a work in progress doing it consistently, but an excellent feedback tool. And I am sure you would not be surprised that when I keep my head behind the alignment rod, The ball striking is crisper and the ball goes a bit farther!!!
Exactly Arthur! More access to target means deeper lag and a more THROUGH WARD action in the direction of flight. Let’s go! 🫶👍😀
