Couple weeks after lesson

[percy_layer]

Been a couple weeks now and getting more power into shots.
Still need to improve my right hand grip and rotation on through swing.

Also, need to improve leg action in backswing, the right leg is a little loose and not enough loading into it.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve...

You look like you have a nice tidy swing with a 'sweeping motion'... consistent but not a very long hitter.

What exactly are you trying to fix? distance, ball control or something else?

Trying to transmit as much energy into the ball as possible. It's better than it was but the power was coming from the upper body only, the right leg was a 'passenger' in the swing without actually contributing to the shot. The glute muscles need to be used more in the transition from backswing to throughswing.

In my untrained, unqualified, no mars bars sold, 6 h/cap opinion....

Your swing looks very economical in the downswing, eg: everything appears to move together. The first move of your downswing is EVERYTHING

Power would come from holding the #4 accumulator for longer at the top of the swing and approx the first 1/3 of the downswing before pushing the left arm away from your left manboob. The first part of the downswing the left arm should feel like it's stuck to your left manboob purely from the force of the shoulder rotation which the hips initiate... a 'free ride' as Nicklaus (I think) said. Then 1/3 down is where you feel your left arm unwind away from your torso.

If you concentrate too much on your legs it's easy to forget to actually HIT the ball.... you can't hit it with a weightshift or your legs.

Just my ramblings of course, got anything at full speed?


.... mars bar?

Am new to the game.. Am looking into lessons so i can make sure what am learning or doing is right or wrong. I don't want to get use to doing something and that something is wrong so I decided to look for professional help to give me good criticism on my game.

Mars Bars?????? asking the wrong person for them....

Depending on weather i'll get another video done either tomorrow or Friday and hopefully show what i'm trying to do. Will do one at full speed too. It's better now my stance is not too wide, the right leg would actually hold back and slow down the body turn, losing acceleration and therefore power. Not looking to hit it with a weightshift, looking to increase the rotational speed of the swing.

That video was taken in January before i started changing some things, hit it a lot better and a bit further now.

Yeh, you look a lot more centered now and don't chase it like in that vid... was interesting to see you give it a bit of wellie!

With less weightshift you have to derive the power from rotation instead. More inclination to the ball, left shoulder down a little more, and deep hands...eg: turn the shoulders in a circle for power with the deepest (ie: longest) arc possible.

Can i interest you in a Snickers? Packet of tees?
