Hi Shawn! It looks like you indicated letting go with the trail hand – any thoughts on why this would be in the release, not the take away. Thanks 🙂
Hmmm, trying to figure out context and what minute you saw that one Krista!
Oops yes that was not clear at all. At the 9 minutes mark, you are talking with Mu about his letting go of the club, I really notice my trail hand wants to let go… could you point me in a video direction when you get a chance? thanks!
This happens when the ball becomes the target, the body stalls, the trail arm hits the side of the rib cage and can no longer go towards the target and there is no choice but to let go. Out of the way, out of the way! Don’t let the right arm hit you going back, and don’t left the left arm hit you on the way through! No collision, and no need to let go of the club.
Hi Shawn, when using this drill should I have my weight towards my heel or evenly across the left foot?
Hi Matt! At the back of the arch right over the ankle as the centre of gravity is a bit more back in one leg; but it is still forward of the heels;
Cool. So zero weight on the right foot, right? I’m feeling my tendency is for some weight to go to my right toes on takeaway 😬 that’s not right is it?
The right leg and foot need to be positioned so that it is hanging from the hip; if the right foot is too far back or away from the left, it will pull weight towards it and you will feel compression on the big toe; remember also that the left leg does not stay bent the whole way at the same level!
Ok ill keep an eye on that next session.
Also as a side note my right elbow is way behind me at the top of my swing and club is kinda layed off – what causes that? Happens always not just the one leg drill?
See “how to match backswing to ball direction” You need to feel that at the top of the backswing that you can let the club and arms fall and they will fall in the direction you want to start the ball; if you are looking for a draw, the laid off backswing position simply won’t jive; and if you are trying to keep the arm pits connected, PLEASE STOP THAT INSANITY AND LET THE ARMS GO COMPLETELY FREE!!😝😝
Great drill,but for a different consequence for me. Try as I might,Icannot start my arms too soon. Great byproduct.
Food stuff! 👍😀
