Golf floG Blog: Dump the Tray to the Floor

http://golfshane.blogspot.com/2013/06/dump-tray-to-floor.html

8230;a place to keep my golf notes and tips. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Dump the Tray to the Floor. The left wrist should be flat at impact (assuming a right-handed golfer). That seems to be a universal point of agreement among most teaching professionals, regardless of what else upon which they disagree (and disagree they do). The converse of the flat left wrist. Dorsiflexed RW, palm down. There are numerous posts on the use of the wrists. And arm-chest pressure points. I think the way it's sometimes prese...

Golf floG Blog: Forget Your Hips, Consider Your Knees

http://golfshane.blogspot.com/2014/03/forget-your-hips-consider-your-knees.html

8230;a place to keep my golf notes and tips. Sunday, March 23, 2014. Forget Your Hips, Consider Your Knees. Knee position at the top. We often hear that the downswing starts "from the ground-up." And then, we invariably hear that this means we should focus on our hips, which inevitably leads to debates about hips rotating versus bumping, ad infinitum. Amateur golfers develop all sorts of bad habits as a result of this debate. But if we're focused on "ground up" sequencing. And then the knees? The knees a...

8230;a place to keep my golf notes and tips. Friday, March 27, 2015. Become an Angled Pile Driver. I like to think that I become an "angled pile driver" in the downswing. Press straight down,. Which could cause too much lateral movement and get the upper center too vertical or the torso too much "on top of the ball" or even over the left leg (i.e., lunging). In the attached images of Brendon Todd at the top of his backswing and start of his downswing (below from Golf Digest. Follow the Green Arrow. Press...

Golf floG Blog: The "Nicklaus" Head Swivel

http://golfshane.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-head-swivel.html

8230;a place to keep my golf notes and tips. Saturday, April 19, 2014. The Nicklaus Head Swivel. I recently watched another great video by Shawn Clement. And tried something he mentioned, and this alone has made a huge impact on my game from the first try. It directly relates to that universal golf fundamental:. Stay behind the ball. Keep your head behind the ball. On top of the ball. This will completely change your perspective of the golf swing…and for the better. Why does this make a difference for me?

http://golfshane.blogspot.com/2012/07/grip-ultimate-fundamental.html

8230;a place to keep my golf notes and tips. Thursday, July 26, 2012. Grip: The Ultimate Fundamental. How many times have we all heard it? A good swing starts with a good grip." There have been any number of such aphorisms uttered about the grip in golf. It has been repeated so much that we all sort of get sick of hearing it. There's a reason it's repeated so often, however. Because it's true. The grip is the ultimate fundamental in golf. Some pros teach the acronym GASP. When you put your hands on corre...

Golf floG Blog: Toe-to-Heel Weight Distribution

http://golfshane.blogspot.com/2015/04/toe-to-heel-weight-distribution.html

8230;a place to keep my golf notes and tips. Thursday, April 2, 2015. The next largest (and most prestigious) group of golf gurus and professionals unambiguously advises amateur golfers to balance their weight evenly between the heel and ball of each foot. I believe this last group- Nicklaus's group- has it right: The best way to address the ball is to vertically distribute your weight in each foot evenly between the ball and heel. Your quads will disengage and your glutes will engage more. It's easi...

Golf floG Blog: Hover Craft

http://golfshane.blogspot.com/2013/03/hover-craft.html

8230;a place to keep my golf notes and tips. Sunday, March 24, 2013. I think Jack Nicklaus' preference to hover his club at address could help many players, and I have found it helpful to me with all the clubs- even the putter. Why? Off the ground. Don't hover the bottom of the club even with the bottom of the ball. With fairway woods I position the club on the barely touching the ground because I like to think of the ground as my tee; with fairway woods, I'm trying sweep the ball like a driver. Yet, I r...

8230;a place to keep my golf notes and tips. Sunday, January 15, 2012. The Drag of Lag. First, it's fairly obvious that most professional and low-handicap golfers maintain this angle.

The "L" shape of his left arm to the shaft) well into the down swing; the hands only release the club once they've passed the ball. As this wrist shouldn't straighten until well after impact).
