crazy legs

[Bagger Lance]

Had to move you into intensive care Mike. You are in good hands now.
By the way, there are some world class swing doctors available at our Medical Center in Georgia that can fix you quicker than Texas can beat Oklahoma. They get around alot too.
In the mean time, save some money that you would otherwise spend at golftec. You'll get some good advise here.

Thanks. I know that the people here can help- although I don't think I will be making it down to Georgia any time soon- too bad! However, my instructor at Golftec is good and he is really trying his best to help me. I just think that there might be a better solution to my problem than trying to help my rotate my hips faster.

Agree that they have best intentions in mind, and they do help many golfers find the right positions which helps a lot of students.
EdZ can probably give you a couple of drills that will help synchronize your motion. Sustaining lag is the key and if it doesn't translate from your lower body to your upper; to your arms, hands, clubshaft, and clubhead, no amount of hip effort will do the trick. In this case, it may be the right "position" on video, but powerless at impact. I know you have some familiarity with TGM terminology. Let's connect the dots...I'd love to jump in, but I'll let Ed and Yoda take over from here.

Does that mean it would take SIX yrs(1999-2005) to fix him?

One exercise that Yoda had me doing that when I get what I feel is out of sync is to Go to the Top or End, Hold and shift, then complete the down stroke. This done with what I really thought was strange of keeping the weight on my left side during the entire swing does me good.

The length of pause is very short duringthe drill, it is go IMU to get things in sync.

I think if you practiced what brian talks about in the turning shoulder plane swing in slow full swings you might "sync up" better.

What he has you do is basically drop the clubhead from the top of the swing into the ground. It should hit the ground somewhere around your back foot. Do that about ten times, feel the drop into the ground. THEN "catch the drop" with your pivot and just let the throwout of centrifugal force put the clubhead on the ball.

Jim,

I will try Brian's idea. I have done something similar in the past, and it seemed to get my hands in a better impact condition. What video short has this? I have Confessions of a former flipper- is that what you are talking about? Thanks for the help guys. Martee- I will try your idea as well.

My legs do the same but a drill on here from Yoda really helped. It entails placing/attaching a dowel across your thighs. If your legs move to fast or incorrrectly you will hit the dowel with your club. I have never attached a dowel but played this weekend imagining the dowel there and dropping the hands/arms first so I don't hit the dowel really helped. It is a great image/drill. One that I will work on all winter. Have to figure out how to attach it however.
