This is a great video. I have been an arm swing for the longest time and starting last summer moved over to a body swing. Since then I had moving and relying on the body movement too much. Just went to the range working on blending both. I was hitting all high draws and about 10 yards longer than usual. Like I said, great video!!! Feet together drill is king. For me anyway.
Alex Your doing Great Love your video’s Good atmosphere and good learning And I see my Hero Ben Hogan on your bag and cap Thanks a lot from the Netherlands
Good drills, I go from being body one day to arms another so helpful to have drill for both. Shall put both drills in my warm up routine and see what happens thx 🙏
Definitely the best way to swing. Ive tried all different methods and the way you show works consistently. Takes awhile to train yourself so you do nothing with your arms.
Blending the right about of looseness seems to be my problem. I'd say I am on the stiff side more then too loose. I am going to try the hand under the elbow drill you demonstrated and see if that helps.
I've actually been trying to start my downswing with my arms more lately to try and sync my arms and body more as I feel like I start my downswing with my hips too much or in the wrong way. Like I open my hips too much to start the down swing and don't move laterally enough and spinout with more shoulders chasing my hips and I come over the top. Starting with the arms feels good on practice swings but I haven't hit any balls yet, so I'll see how it goes.
A very interesting an instructive lesson indeed In my opinion ,the swing should be more body controlled than arm controlled .if you look at Ice hockey players swings they have short back swings and tremendous speed of the club head created by their extremely fast body rotation JOHN RAHM is a perfect example of this kind of swing .I used to play with a Basque champion of PELOTA .He had a very short back swing but his body turn was lightening fast and his wrists would work also fully at tremendous speed .Not a classical beautiful synchronized and smooth swing like LOUIS OSTHUIZEN or RORY Mc ILROY but very effective indeed To develop ths kind of Ice hockey swing ,I go in a field with high grass and wield a scythe or a weed cutter with short synchronized movements of the body and the arms .
I’m a thick body senior golfer and I’ve been focusing on widening my swing and just letting my arms drop. My drives tend to be weak slices to the right or come over the top with high over the top to the left. Irons shots are short and to the right and everything seems to be toe hits. I’ve even tried standing closer to the ball and still producing toe hits. The most consistent thing is that my shots tend to be low flighted especially with woods and hybrids. Any suggestions?
Thank you. Is there a link that I should follow? Also I noticed today that I have been keeping my head over the ball. I think not allowing it to move through impact has been adding to my inconsistency.
