Muscle contraction during pivot
I've been looking up anatomy and stuff like that recently.
A question I have is, does the abdominal and gluteus muscles contract during the pivot?
And if so when and where....that kinda thing....

All skeletal muscles (including the facial ones) contract simultaneously "during the pivot".

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the " LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain ( Yang/陽) the lag ( Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" ( 陰陽合一).
The " LAW" creates the " effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the " cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
" Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

The right glute contracts hard if a person has a good backswing pivot. As my physical therapist so eloquently said: "Look at pro golfers, their right cheek is way bigger!" The abdominals must contract if a person is going to maintain their posture. Both glutes contract in a proper downswing pivot. There is a golf anatomy book by a guy named Bazzle that is pretty interesting. Also there was an article in Golf Digest that talked about the prime movers in the golf swing. http://www.golfdigest.com/search/ind...ranatomy2.html

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Steve Elkington mentions the role of the abdominal muscles in the golf swing in his book. |

Next time you want to add some speed to your swing, flex your ab muscles at address and try to keep them flexed in your swing.
See what happens

When I look at these pictures I get the feeling that the left side and shoulder is dragging the arms down into the ball.
if I try to do that it seems I dont have any time for right shoulder thrust. So what am I missing here  |
