Shawn,
very good video. I am 74 yr old, 7 handcap, trying to get a bit more distance. I feel I need more and faster hip rotation in order to improve clubhead speed. Can you or Mu recommend stretching or other exercises to improve hip rotation/clubhead speed.
thanks, Percy
Hi Percy! Ok, if you do that you will ABSOLUTELY SABOTAGE YOUR GOLF SWING!!
See “kinetic chain facilitation series” and watch my favourite #6 where we deliver divot peels into the trees while walking; the lead leg really digs into the ground and uses it to CLEAR THE HIPS AND ENGAGE THE KINETIC CHAIN WITHOUT THINKING; so it you want faster, send the divot peels farther! 👍👌💪
Really like the simple idea of left arm fall right arm fall. Brilliant! When trying this out it seems to result in a lot of shots near the toe of the club when I fall and release toward the target. Not getting a lot of distance but I believe it is because I’m not hitting center of the club face. Any suggestions?
See “blur of club” to make sure you know where the club is passing first; then see “arc-blur unstoppable momentum series.
If the toe shots persist, to let the arms fall past you and towards the backswing and then the same towards the target, you must use the legs! See “feet together back to feet apart” and “pump up the swing volume”
it is the squat in the downswing in both directions that allows you to follow the ground and get the solid strike; if you stay too tall and are too careful with the legs, you won’t reach the ball and toe them.
The only way I could get this to somewhat work is to really ‘step’ into the lead leg a lot earlier than I had previously to get the arc to bottom out in front of the ball. Otherwise the arm fall didn’t really fall past me. It certainly took the toe shot out of the equation but it was almost like I had to get to the lead leg while the back swing was sort of finishing and like levitating. Then the momentum of ACU falling now fell past me. Does that sound right? There is still some calibration around my squat but I wanted to make sure I have the right feeling before spending too much time on this. Thank you.
That is exactly how it should be perceived! In the Kinetic chain facilitation series, when walking and sending divots to target, you will feel that. This is what most perceive from Hogan’s swing! 👍👍
Hi Shawn, I noticed you’re not as braced on your lead side as you used to be in your older golf swing. What is your weight distribution at address now? Thanks for all you do for the game.
You are welcome Bruce! Thank you for the question and for being here!
60/40 in favour of the left side; I am getting ready to move into the backswing from the follow through at address; see “kinetic chain series” and kinetic chain facilitation series (# 6 is my favourite!) as well as “perpetual motion drill series”
You want to be thinking dynamically at address!
For over 50 years of playing golf wrong (from the top down) How can I focus on getting the hip turn doing the backswing part. when I think full shoulder turn I hardly move the hips. I’m talking on the golf course playing. The range I don’t have this problem
Hi Roger! I have the perfect video for this: “open ip the machine on the golf course”; right here in premium! 👌👍😀
Informative and clear video. I love watching Bryson’s swing as much as Sean’s. One criticism; us more “experienced” (i.e. older) golfers do not read as quickly. Another half second or second to read the 3 line descriptions would be great!
Roger that! But you can pause it on that spot to read and then continue; great to study the position in detail and match it to the task-focus at hand! 👍
