Just not at the same time. I think I’ll look at that positively.
I was clearing out videos from my V1 iPad app that I’ve taken over the last year and a half. As I watched them I realized that over the past year and a half, I’ve had some really good swings. I’ve had a good backswing and takeaway, I’ve had a nice position at the top, I’ve had a great transition, I’ve had a nice follow-through, and I’ve had good balance. But I haven’t put it all together.
But recognizing this makes me realize 1) that we will never be “done” working on our swings 2) I’ve probably tweaked and changed my swing too much. I haven’t been able to groove any swing, bad or good, and as a result my consistency is, well, not there.
So where am I right now and what do I know I need to work on?
- One-piece takeaway (my hands are way too active)
- A proper hinge on the backswing to keep me on plane going back
- Keeping my right arm against my side to the top
- Bump my left hip BUT keep my right foot on the ground as I transition
- Let my hands drop and continue to turn but also keep the right foot on the ground just rolling in
- Rotate my arms/hands/etc after impact as part of a proper release
- That should reduce the chicken wing in follow thru
That’s it. Some of that stuff isn’t new and I would consider it all tweaks. But my legs are most important right now. I’m popping up at impact and I shouldn’t.
