I checked out some down the line video of my swing during a bad golf trough.
Things I noticed:
-Despite my best efforts, I am not yet anything like Hogan. Crap.
-weight a little towards the toes at address. Knees a little too bent.
-my right leg does straighten but gets nowhere near totally straight.
-my right leg is still, motionless between top and end (Im a swinger, I think,
Dont hate me Luke, I do practice hitting chips and pitches and love it)
-my left wrist bows a little between top and end. A little. And my pants seat area moves very slightly forward, towards the ball, with the head bobbing up and back slightly. A slight straightening up of the spine angle between top and end. I have never ever noticed this before. I am in transition here.
-in start down my butt moves forward in a more noticeable manner.
-nearing release my head bobs up and back. This is amazing. Once again I have never noticed this before.
Luke, this fits your multiple axis compensation phenomena (MACP) theory! I am one of the sufferers, I never knew! Is there a cure? Give it to me straight Doc, I can take it. How long have I got? Im not a statistic, damn it, I have a right to know the cure for this, horrible phenomena.
I have wrestled with the darned bowed left wrist thing for years. Luke, Is it cause and effect? Does the weight on the toes at address encourage a bowing of the left wrist? A shortening of the radius in anticipation and in compensation for a moving fulcrum? Did you have to work on Mr. Long Time's left wrist or did it fix itself when his COG moved back at address?
On behalf of all of the afflicted, I salute you.
O.B.
I love Homer's recommendation in 12-3-0, Section 2 - Impact Fix. When you prepare #3. Grip-Flying Wedges, #6. Right Forearm Position, #7. Clubshaft Alignments, and #8. Extensor Action, you're establishing the radius and verifying your distance from the ball.
Study 7-17, and understand that "conventional teaching" says to keep the weight on the balls of your feet. I think teachers take this great advice from other sports (where the ball is moving) and apply it to golf (where the ball is not moving). Weight on the balls of the feet or on the toes places the body in a position of imbalance in preparation for walking or running. I believe that the sport with a moving ball needs a machine that's able to move and the sport with a stationary ball needs a stationary and balanced machine.
Because they compensate for each other, you must fix both. Wiggle your toes at Address, and then work on Extensor Action. See how far you can get away from the ball at Impact Fix, not at Adjusted Address.
