You mean so you can't hear Johnny Canuck and Yossarian rabbiting on?
Makes sense.

'Course.
on your downswing your hips are going UNDER your shoulder instead of staying level and ROTATING AROUND. Your posture changes about 4 times on you backswing and down to impact.
Repeat to yourself on a backswing - ARMS, SHOULDERS, HIPS
Then for a downswing HIPS, SHOULDERS, ARMS.
Do this whilest keeping your spine angle and posture. You need to swing around your spine, not move your upper body around to suit what your legs are doing.
Just rotate around your spine.... nothing more
settle down now. i am an innocent bystander in all of this, although i do like jarro's advice.
as for you aldo, who is the only one that got reprimanded on the golf course for loud behaviour?
Gents, have moved this to a seperate thread.

Hit it then find it. Fairways are over-rated.
The hips "load" the arms and allow for more downcocking of the wrists. In Edwin we call it a bump, in a more conventional swing it it may start with the knees and hips clearing.
Same method to both swing patterns. The hips have to get out of the way for the shoulders to come down on plane.
he will hit the high rights if he hangs back. Pretty much what he is doing now. He however flips his hands over and drives the legs to straighten himself up.
What he is doing now is TILTING instead of rotating. Slow it down and look at his posture - it is almost Zig like.
Eeewwww, you've actually seen zig ????
Hi,
Too much right or left dispersion from centre target line maybe coming if the shaft is too higher spinning, or torque/twisting too much.
I've been stocking the Grafalloy EPIC shafts for sometime and my customers love the:Whatever.
- High Launch
- Low Right/Left Dispersion from target line
- Low spin rate
- Stability even when trying to power
- Metal outer sleeve

To expand on Virge's words and make it clearer for those having trouble understanding the golf swing this may help.
We set up at address with our feet planted firmly on the earth. If this isn't done we have no foundation and purchase to generate the power necessary to make the ball fly. Try hitting a golf ball standing on ice. In an uncomplicated swing the arms and shoulders move first as a unit turning the trunk which turns the hips, and in the majority of golfers, the left knee. The feet maintain their solid contact with the ground because they are needed to kick the swing in reverse. It is the large muscles of the thighs and around the pelvic area which reverse the swing.
All the stuff you have read about winding the body up like a spring, well forget it, our muscles don't work like that. Muscles come in opposite groups, one group contracts the other stretches; when stretched they stay stretched until their antagonist is engaged. The role of the muscles is to move the bones (levers) to perform the task set by the brain. That is a simplistic view but it will do here. The larger muscles move the slowest and are the source of power, the smaller muscles work faster and are very limited to create power on their own.
In the backswing, the swing has moved in sequence with the upper body leading the pivot. The downswing reverses that from the feet upwards with the main power source being the large muscles of the legs, thighs & pelvic area. It is important that the upper body remained turned at this point otherwise the whole point of having a backswing is down the drain.
The large lower body muscles will at some point engage the trunk (inner & outer obliques) which will then carry the load at a faster pace reacting the shoulders which move at an even faster pace. Each group moves in sequence picking up the load as the previous group expends its power range.
The above is referred to as sequencing in golf swing terms.
Consciousness and awareness - awareness is being aware of what is happening and being aware of what is happening within ourselves while we are conscious. Where did I leave my glasses?
Great post Ray.
Jarro, have never had any luck with the NV.
Naturally grippy
Man, you are desperately trying to keep that thing going. Good luck little fella
Naturally grippy
OK, just for you I will hit the next club I see with an NV in it.

Yossarian, don't get in the way of Jarro and me patching up our damaged friendship
