Still working here guys. I gave Alison a call for a little guidance on something and she has helped jog my memory on some things. First of all, a good backswing is so torque’d up that it would be impossible to hold that position at the top, or even get there in slow motion. I
“300 Workout” Continues….
I’ve made some more progress from yesterday where I was actually pretty happy with the changes that showed up on film in such a short time. Today, I got even better results after my workout this morning. I notice that at certain levels of time, say after maybe every 60-80 swings I really catch on
“300 Workout” – Best Golf Lesson I’ve Ever Given Myself
I’m not sure if you’ve ever seen the movie “300″ but those guys were put through a grueling workout to get themselves into the phenomenal physical conditioning they were in to play the part of the Spartans. A couple men’s health magazines put together some workouts called the “300 Challenge”. I’ve kind of done the
Day 2 Progress – Rotary Swing 2.0
A lot more work poured into my swing today, I’m beat, mentally and physically. It’s tiring working so hard on changing a golf swing and rewards often come in only small doses. Today’s rewards were small, nice straight ball flight, decent speed and I’m getting closer to some positions that I wish to achieve, but
Clubhead Speed Prediction
Is it too early in the race to make a prediction? Given how far out they start calling the President victory, I think this will be ok. After my work over the past couple days with Alison, my own work on the range and some more in the studio tonight, I have made a prediction
120 mph average clubhead speed
Last year when I did the “Bomb Your Driver” research with McChicken from the forum, I spent 3 months hitting nothing but drivers. By the end, we had discovered the perfect driver shafts, heads and launch conditions and I could regularly hit 330-340 yard bombs. After a while, I decided it would be helpful if
Day 1 Progress Report – RS2 Swing Changes
Tiger Woods took 2 years to feel fully comfortable with his swing changes under Hank Haney and Tiger works much more on his swing than I do, so I’m going to keep that in mind as I make these changes. In all, I have a dozen or so changes I’d like to make and I’m
Many ways, but only one biomechanically correct way to swing the club
In my estimation, I’d say there are atleast 8 valid, complete golf swing models out there that someone could take from beginning to end and successfully strike a golf ball. But there is only one way to biomechanically use the body as it was designed to function. Of course, my preference is for my students
Rotary Hitter Conversion – Right Hand Control
I’ve decided to continue my conversion to a Rotary Hitter from a Rotary Swinger, much to the dissappointment of many, but it puts less stress on my left hip which has been injured in 2 car accidents. I’m working on it today in the “Rotary Swing Golf Lab” and am sharing an update. It’s very
Add 5 mph of Clubhead Speed
One of the most common ”faults” I see in students when giving a lesson is tension in the hands. It often starts at address and only gets worse from there. Apart from robbing the golfer of a consistent release, it also robs the golfer of precious clubhead speed, and thus, potential ball speed. Everyone wants to
Top of the Swing Improvements…
Progress, it’s what we’re all after in the golf swing. All my students want to make progress as quickly as possible and so do I. I don’t care for the “to get better you’re going to have to get a lot worse” mantra. If I do the proper fundamentals in the golf swing correctly, I
Driver Swing
Progress sometimes comes slowly and with the driver it can be brutal. While I’ve been hitting the ball well with the big dog, I’ve certainly missed quite a few shots as well. Any little flaw in your swing that isn’t compensated for is shown in “High Def” when you miss with this club. A seven
Progress Comes in Small Doses…
Making changes in your golf swing can be very challenging experience. It can also be very rewarding when done correctly. As I’ve been working over this past week to get back to the Rotary Swing that I teach from the Hank Haney – Tiger Woods model, I’ve made awesome progress. Awesome in that I’ve achieved
Looks Like Tigger – Hits Like Winnie the Pooh
The dynamics of the golf swing are infrequently talked about in most golf lessons and few instructors even understand them, but at the end of the day, they are THE single most important defining factor in the golf swing. You can take any golfer and get them to eventually move the club through decent positions,
Down the Line View
One quick pic from down the line. You can see below how my foot has definitely stayed down longer into the follow through. This really gives me a great sense of more control and stability at impact and I’m really looking forward to getting this change down.
