Given your "Two Thumbs Up", I just watched the video again myself.
Three years intervene since that lesson -- and 27 years behind that -- yet every word and demonstration stands.
Interestingly, the only reason the clip made its way to LBG viewers is because the cameraman (and benefactor) -- Collin's Dad, aka "Daddy Cal" -- accidentally left this last tape in my camera (after his own battery had died) prior to his and Collin's return to St. Louis, Missouri. He subsequently gave me permission to use it here.
Colin's before and after would be a nice comparison. As would Brian Gay's , John Reigger's etc etc etc etc .......etc.... What about a young Lynn Blake with knee drive and a sore back to "boot" .........etc etc.......... Ill show mine, if anyone wants to show theirs.
Mr. Yoda,
Could you pleas commit on how and when to use your right knee in the down swing for short or full shotrs. Thanks.
Stuts,
Understand that both the Left and Right Knees move to support the Hip Turn and the resultant Weight Shift (if any). Not vice versa.
Substituting Knee Motion for what is properly a Hip Motion is a common error, one that should be avoided by those who would build their most effective, efficient Golf Stroke. Watch for what I call "happy" knees that move vigorously in both the Backstroke and Downstroke, but do little to cause the proper Hip Turn and Action. Also, "saggy baggy" knees (in either direction) that tend to move the Head (a Sway or Bob or both) and cause an Uncentered Arc.
Personally, I prefer and teach Right Anchor Knee Action (10-16-C), but understand (and have no problem with) Standard (10-16-A) and Double Anchor (10-16-D) Knee Action.
The Feet (Component #17) also play an important part in the Foot-Knee-Hip-Shoulder interaction and should be given close attention, even -- and perhaps especially -- in the short pitches.
Yoda post #7,777. That has to be good luck for the coming week or so. Go Brian.
The motion he alludes to needs not luck however, Im chipping with a little left, right, left, right deal in the feet and loving it. Pitter patter. No more pivot freeze and a running out of right arm.
I got the Hup two, three, four occupation GI blues. Its a motion alright, especially as you get close to the green, cause thats where you tend to freeze your pivot.
Dear Yoda & OB
In the chipping/pitching motion should the weight transfer finsih on the left heal. I notice that at the finish my weight is towards my toes. What did I do wrong? Thank you.
