TheGolfSage your wrong "It is important to this type of footwork and to good over all swing form to retain a preponderance of weight on the inside of the right foot during the backswing. Often I use a conscious shift of weight to the inside of my right foot as the initiating backswing feel. As long as my right knee remains slightly flexed I am certain to get the club back by turning and coiling rather than swaying my body laterally." (Jack Nicklaus' Lesson Tee p. 45)
During the backswing, Jack’s left knee pops out away from his body, instead of working back toward the right knee. This affects perfect balance at the top of the backswing, as your weight is likely transferred to the right heel and outside of the right foot instead of to the inside of the right foot. Perfect balance is a key factor in the player’s ability to smoothly and quickly start the downswing back to the left side with a hard leg drive, thereby delivering maximum power at impact.--GS.
That was always his aim--Grout always taught him from his earliest days that it was hard enough to learn one good swing, and that it was wrong to think of "the wedge swing" and "the 2-iron swing," etc.
@clarinetjo As he works his way through the clubs from PW to the driver, the swing naturally becomes longer and less restricted.....only because of the length of the shaft, as he naturally stands progressively further away from the ball.
@thevmanvj ,try a softer shaft again , with a tip stiff regular the regular you were hitting was most likely a soft tip , youll get the 6-8 back and should have more control with a tip stiff shaft ,, you can take your old one and tip it , cut half inch off hosel end, most all pros half there drivers tipped check it out online, youll stll get the shaft kick and the head will be more at the aiming line at impact with the tip stiff, giving more control and distance try it, ty hitmanhawky@youtube
look at the progression of the foot work.With driver and long irons the left heel comes up noticeably.With short irons the weight is still shifting from left heel to the balls of the left foot but it is not so easily observed.

I'm amazed by his consistency. All his swings were virtually identical no matter which club is used !

when he said driver, i thought "a driver? off of the fairway?" then i remembered that this is the man who used to hit 1 irons
