In the prior post I noted that Luke Donald, et al., set their lower body quite firmly before starting the golf swing.
I tried to do this today at the range. I found it worked quite well and put me in a more consistent position prior to the down swing.
I applied this to my short irons. I typically spend a lot of time pitching and chipping and I expect that things that work there will work in the full swing. This setting the lower body was quite applicable to the short game too. I liked the feeling and the solidity of the positions.
But wait there's more! When I got to these positions, I then could feel that I was not maintaining my hinged wrist through the strike position. I was able to do less hand compensation as I came into the ball.
I wanted to hit another bucket and see how this worked with the longer clubs, but ran out of time.
So, once again I am filled with hope and exuberance!
Not time for more, I have to clean up for lunch!
