The left butt cheek is pushing through the pane of glass. The yellow on the right is the better hip motion and left leg extension. Then make a swing piecing it together, hitting the ball. Then do a few more where I stop the shift and practice the extension. Drills (Notes for me to reference) - Make slowish backswings to A3, and then feel the slight weight shift forward. Do this 2-3x to get the timing and amount of shift. The left knee feels like it gains a bit of flex, or feels like it is holding more weight. As soon as I feel that weight shift, I need to release it by extending that left knee, pushing into the ground. I need to let the hips fall down that line. The feel was, at around A3, feel a small bit of slide as the left hip goes to the ground. At A3, the right hip is higher than the left hip. The left hip needed to go down a bit as it slides left a bit before turning back and up. I would not sink down a bit into my left side.

I already get my weight forward, but not optimally. This is to feel that movement versus raising my arms with my shoulders. With hinging early, It might be that my swing looks a bit like Rickie Fowler's for a bit, where I take the club outside my hands and it loops. Drills (Notes for me to reference) - Set up at address, and then hinge the club up towards my head by hinging the wrist and bending the right elbow. I can't be having 110+ degrees of right elbow bend. Ideally, I would like to get all the right elbow bend I need by A3 to A3.5, and my turn finishes the swing from there with out adding much more. Which makes it very difficult to lose all that right elbow angle in the downswing. The issue I have is, my right elbow bends so little that it collapses from A3 to A4, and it also gains flex from A4 to A4.5. In terms of weight lifting, it would be doing biceps curls versus shoulder raises. Not using my shoulders to raise the club and also not keeping my arms super straight. The end of the of the grip was pointing inside the ball, not way outside the ball with my initial swings.Īlso part of this, is to make the club raise in the swing using my right wrist hinge and right elbow bend. It doesn't really come close to that position at A3. Also with this, feeling wrist hinged more, which produces a cupped left wrist, which is OK. I was making a backswing feeling like the club in a backslash '/' position, from DTL, at A3.

This changed really helped stabilize my hip motion in the transverse direction, between me and ball. It felt like I was out over the front of my skies a bit to begin with. Also, it felt like the weight was on the balls of my feet, almost over my toes, and very little pressure in the heels. It didn't feel as extreme later, but the initial feeling was like I was bending over at the waist with my legs straight. My hips were out over my heels, not over my ankle joints.

One of the first things that I had to modify was my setup.
