  • Spine angle slightly to the right
  • Right wrist - hinge back on take-away to initiate right arm leading on take-away, do not cock right wrist at any time, keep bent all the time until inpact, keep low (left arm across shoulders or bit lower)
  • Rotate hips then shoulders taking away left arm with it, keep low (throwing positions)
  • Ensure rotation of shoulders using the pillow-image

Some great hits today, very solid contact, good distance, straight, high flight off 5-iron. No issues with right arm. Even on chips, use pure passive left arm driver by rotatiion on downsw

Ok, here are my latest insights into the swing:

  • Must keep left wrist not cupped ever and right one cupped all the time. Very important to keep club parallell to target line at the top of the backswing and enable dropping down on initiating of backswing (see Ben Hogan video)
  • Start backswing with right arm makes getting set up properly on the top of the backswing easier than with one piece take away, and can be used to introduce the feeling UP with right arm, DOWN with left arm
  • Elbows point to hips at address
  • Start downswing from hips rotating then shoulders then left arm. Left arm is essentially passive and is moved by rotating the shoulders. Left arm is across chest with hands just above or on right shoulder. When the left arm freewheels towards impact, it pulls the lagging club via the left hand, as if you were pulling a piece of rope. Only works with right wrist cupped all the time

Found some interesting analysis of the golf swing by Jeffrey Mann:

Bit of trouble with the right elbow, probably from using the arms too much - make sure to turn the hips first, and let the arms follow, almost hold them back a bit to get a connect with the hip and shoulder turn, works wonders. Much better contact as well.

Trigger finger - works well for pitching with sw, introduce a bit of it in longer clubs as well. Stay well inside, easy swing, no power attempts. Early hinge with right wrist.

One piece take-away
Left arm straight down on downswing
Avoid casting
Driver: hips often too fast for arms, bring shoulders and arms through more in sync

Personal take-away from video: too upright, bend more in hips, back straight, head up.
