This guy is clearly an outstanding golfer. I enjoy the passion he has for the game.. For those of us that love the game as much as he obviously does, its great to see....Thats what its all about...Thanks Sevam1, i look forward to your insight....
Talking about Golf grips, When you pick up a golf club your hands are the only part of your body that touch the club. For many years the hands (grip) have often been referred to as the steering wheel of the golf swing. I don’t believe this could be more true. Gripping the golf club correctly makes playing this game a much better experience. w w w (dot) golferbreak80 (dot) c0m
Mike - Are you forming a single axis at impact,with the hands,arms and shaft at impact.If I am not being clear a straight line throught the shaft and your arms.
I think this would be helpful to alot of golfers ,since many are trying to reach their address position in the downswing.
da19570; (con't) I would say alot of people young and old mishit alot of shots because they overswing. That's why I am giving you this drill. If you look at alot of Moe Norman's video you'll see that he mostly took the club back around 3/4's. I am not suggesting that you stand back from the ball as far as he does but do experiment a bit. His brilliance I believe is primarily due to his thinking of the golf club as a pendulum. A pendulum has no
I didn't see the Casey bring the ball back. My friends dog got ill and he began to rattle and they operated and found fifteen golf balls in his stomach.
It's amazing how the ball finishes where the navel points!! So now i'm aligning my feet to the right of the target line and i'm hitting them dead straight at the target, right where my navel points. I guess that's why it's different strokes for different folks. Not everyone is built the same and our bodies won't all act the same way to the same alignments.
This really seems to be helping me right now. I just hit a bucket using this technique. I've been trying to line up the "correct" way for a while now and what i just noticed is that my navel finishes WAY to the left of where i'm aiming if i aim my feet parallel to the target line "correct way".
Welcome back Cameraman.. Sevam, I think what you are trying to say is to set up each day the way your body wants to set up in order to hit it straight. Day to day it might be different; closed, open, square, and not always the same. Geoff Ogilvy talked about that in one of his playing lessons. Is that what you are getting at?
To a degree that is one of the benefits of this approach to alignment, but it also allows you to feel the proper width of stance, direction of the stance, flare of the forward foot. Basically the whole works and get a sense of those things relative to the target. By making the little swings beside and back of the ball on about a 45 degree. From here you can move to the ball easily with one or two little steps and replicate how you just dynamically oriented everything to the target.
Do you talk about golfers who hit a shank. and how to stop from shanking. My problem seems to be at the top of the swing right elbow moves out cupping left wrist and weight going toward the toes.
Most shanks (probably 99%) are the product of an inside path and an open clubface. This in turn could be caused by something as simple as standing too close to the ball or too far for that matter. Always start from simple. Line up with the ball on the toe of the club for a bit and see if that helps. Knudson always lined up that way to allow for the pull of the club. If by doing this you are catching it on the toe and the ball in taking off right then work on path and squaring that clubface.
da19570; I have stopped 99.9% of my shanks by shortening my backswing to about 3/4. Start by practicing a half swing without hitting the ball and keeping the wrists firm. Get the feeling that you have almost no wrist break. The drill I use is to just swing the club a few inches above the ground without the wrists breaking, just like a pendulum. Swing it back and forth; as you are doing that you can also practice weight shift right foot to left and back again.

Stop messing around with the ball.

fred couples said he doesn't worry too much about his feet, which would coincide with the dynamic alignment you are teaching here. good stuff man.

I notice that your left foot is slightly open and forward and your right foot is closed...can you explain the advantage of standing like that?
Thanks
