The "sledge Adlos swing" thread
OK, the driver thread seemed to lose its way. So here is a thread where can all sledge me for not swinging hard enough.
The swing:
I have these comments from the other thread:
Razaar: Coming out of the shot too early and not staying behind the ball. Everything has gone too early...
Virge: Right side has collapsed and left leg is straight. Pretty much standard hi flip draw.
Get your right hip higher through impact.
Razaar, are you coming back to the 1/4 drill you mentioned earlier? I seem to struggle a bit with that drill.
Virge, can you explain your comments at all?
I have had lessons in the past, but have struggled to really "click" with what coaches have said about the full swing. I'd appreciate any help.

OK, moved to this thread......

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
Thanks Virge, I will see how that feels and come back to you.

Good question.

No mate. Something much more simple. Keep the left side of your face to the right of the ball position until the ball is well on its way (a common fundamental of all good golfers). On the backswing have only forward swing thoughts i.e the path the clubhead should take through and past the ball (to hip height). Pretty hard to think backswing and then forwards swing thoughts in 1.6 secs - the forward thoughts should take care of the backswing and is the more important part of the swing. (All great ball strikers have great forward swings). Swing at 75% pace until you can do it. The aim is to get that clinging contact out of the sweet spot. Have fun.

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?

simmsy, I was getting it down there as far as Yossarian and Rebjon at the range, even with the collapsed right side and the relaxed swing. Imagine what will happen when I learn how to store some power???? I will only be 2 clubs shorter than JC instead of 4
Edit: Thanks Ray.

OK, had a few swings messing around with what Razaar and Virge have said.
Raz, what you are saying makes absolute sense and I feel like I can implement it.
Virge, what you are saying makes sense but I have NFI how to implement it.
I will take some more video in a few days time when I get a chance to hit some balls and get some more feedback.
Thanks again.

Adlo, try firing your hips as fast as you can, it will give you a feeling of leaving your hands behind. This helped me lots.

Adlo, it looks to me like you asre sequencing wrong on the way back. It looks as if you are breaking your wrists and hingeing in the right arm before you even really start your shoulder turn.
Virge, Raz, do you agree?

They are a sign of the profligate latte lifestyle he leads, Scottt, robs him of his strength hence the girly swing.

Awesome stuff.
Scottt, I know exactly what you are trying to say, and it bugs the hell out of me looking at my swing. Believe it or not, it is a lot better than is used to be.
