As you swing, keep your eyes closed, imagine you are going to throw the clubs down the fairway, and step through with your right foot, as if you were going to walk after them. (which is a good way to start, go ahead and walk forward) Let the weight of the two clubs pull you through, you'll feel you are really facing the target. I was thinking about that drill with the weight on the left side and the right foot on its toe and way back behind the line too .......although Ive never heard of the two clubs thing before, nice. KEv when you do this drill ask your left knee (or back) if there is a reason it doesnt want to take the load? Is there a twisting left knee problem or a physical element to this or is it just a habit, plane and simple? If the left knee doesnt want you to load it and pivot over it , you wont, or cant even. Its a self preservation mechanism. You cant turn very freely without the weight centered over one leg or the other. Pivoting around the middle with the weight centered and both feet planted/ loaded is really awkward (like a spinning Top with two points to turn around) and so the brain will command the body to back out of the shot as if it is selecting the less injurious leg around which to pivot regardless of any consequences to golf score or low point management or whatever. Homer designated Finish as one of the Three Stations (Address, Top, Finish). Golf is a motion that makes its way through the Stations with no consideration for Impact. Let the Motion make the shot etc. But to do so, Finish has be a balanced and comfortable destination or the body wont want to go there. Pose at Finish and see what it feels like. Move things around to make it more comfortable if you have to. Like the Knudson/Hogan left foot flare and the right foot drag. I love the drag thing, it gives us old inflexible farts a little more range of motion through the shot. And If you are dragging that right foot, the weight must be left! With it left, turning will be as easy as it is for spinning top. The center of gravity and the axis of rotation in line (and over the left side). VJ Trolio style. Hopefully its just a habit and not an physical thing. Last edited by O.B.Left : 01-10-2010 at 04:12 PM. O.B.Left View Public Profile Send a private message to O.B.Left Find all posts by O.B.Left
