Great video! Three essentials to start the down swing to to keep club on plane - 1 BUTT OF CLUB to trace target line on way down or slightly outside the ball target line in a linear fashion 2. TRAIL ARM to extend lower part from upper part so that bend in trail arm never narrows on the way through but in fact straightens through impact area and 3- This Extension of Trail Arm happens as a by -product of CORRECT BODY ROTATION including upper part of lead lead (THIGH). , the HIPS and the CHEST simultaneously uncoiling or pivoting/turning to the left in the downswing with the aid of the core muscles. That is my summary or takeaway. Would love to hear other formulations from other listeners in a succinct manner that is easy to remember.
Great video and illustration how to practice maintaining width with the trail arm. You always provide a detailed, yet concise description of the drill to remedy a swing flaw. Love the use of a string! Thank you for your instruction.
I think taking up the game left handed is a very creative way to ultimately give better advice how to improve your students. This spring I am going to reach out to you for online instruction. I have used many of your tips to improve my swing for example began using a resistance band for my backswing which really helped. I am a 14 handicap and my goal is to get to get down to a single digit handicap.
great video and really like these drills that can be done indoors during the winter months....Question : I checked my club head swing path with the addition of the alignment stick to the club shaft , and find my swing path to be more in to out , should I be concerned ?....thanks much
@@ZiPolishHammer In to out indicates a shallow path which would be preferred. A launch monitor would be a good way to determine if it's too extreme. If the clubface is too open, you would see a push. If the face were too closed to the target line, you would see a draw or possibly a hook. Out to in or "over the top", is a steep swing which could produce a slice or fade, possibly a pull.
@@michaeldeforrest4497 And that's why you read twice and type once. Good spot. Literally mixed up what he wrote in head. Most people are seeking in to out path so my brain assumed he was coming over the top and "autocorrected" haha
Can you use the rope drill to also get the takeaway correct? Seams if you move your arms/hand ahead of rotation,the rope slides across your back/neck. If you only turn early,hands moved by rotation,the rope does not slide. Just a question if the rope sliding can be used to help other parts of the swing training.
Absolutely brilliant video. Sad the number of views for such a good video. Keep up the good work
Thanks Russell.
Parts reminded me of a puppeteer, but I'm always happy to be strung along by you.
Your swing plane explainaition was perfect, really helped me understand my swing mechanics.

Great video - much easier to understand without all the kinematic and technical jargon

In to out tends to be steep coming into the ball, means you're probably casting, and only really allows you to hit pulls and fades. I'd fix it

He talks to much.
