Setup/Posture
– Critical! It influences:
1) Arm swing shape
2) Body motion
3) Alignment (understanding swing path).
Impact – "The moment of
truth"! The most important aspect of the golf swing!
Downswing –
1) People who are "over the top" with their
downswing get too high of a right shoulder at impact – NOT
IDEAL!
2) The right shoulder should not get outside that of the
toe line too soon on the downswing – an "outside-in"/"over
the top" player will do this – far too soon and exceedingly
too much!
Take-Away – The hands, wrists,
arms, shoulders, and torso (all looking similar to a triangle)
should all move the club back together, in one piece, and
into a parallel inside position – WITH extension!
Follow-thru (Half-Circle) –
With a club, simply start at a proper impact position, and
then push/swing the club up and through, and into a completed
back swing, where as the wrists will have fully re-cocked,
so that you can properly obtain a completed finish position.
Additionally, with a proper, complete finish position, both
of your knees should be close to one another (where you could
almost pinch a newspaper between them), your belly-button
should be facing your target, the club should be lightly resting
across your back/left shoulder, and your eyes/head looking
down the fairway. Just as important, you should be well
balanced -- to the point where you could easily tap your right
toe on the ground – because you have fully shifted your weight
off from your right side, and have no weight left on that
right side. A drill very similar to this is often called
the "Finish to Start" drill.
Stance and/or Aim
– Remember,
that one foot equates to stance. Two feet equates to
aim. HOWEVER, your hip, shoulder, and eye lines are
much more crucial to aim/alignment than your feet will ever
be!
Camera
Angles – When video taping yourself, the camera angle
should be set at a hip-high position -- and positioned between the middle
of your feet and your target line. When your camera is
positioned correctly, essentially you are video-taping
straight through the back of your hands -- and consequently
straight through towards your target.
