Hips are closed but upper body is rotated. It hurts looking at this.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

It's what we call a Stork Drill. You basically set up with most of your weight on the lead leg, rear foot is back a few inches, the only part of your right foot that is in contact with the ground is the inside part of your right right toe. This is not a drill you do with slow swings, you load the arms up the chest and then fire them down.

This tends to be a drill for better players that

- Get a little "spinny" from A4-5,

- Need to release their 4th accumulator (lead arm) down faster (they already do Key #2 well)

- Have their head transfer too far forward on the downswing.

Even though it can be a tough drill I should probably film it.

So this is a good drill for me because Erik said I needed to get my arms down quicker in my downswing?

Ah, but my evolvr work is to keep my hips in place on my swing and this wouldn't let me slide my hips either :-)

Fair enough.. I was just saying that is all.. I just wouldn't want you to rush things.. Why worry about a drill for arms coming down faster if you are working on Key#1 specifically the pivot in the backswing? Maybe @mvmac can chime in?

You could certainly fool around with it, for you I wouldn't hit balls with it just yet. It's not really a pivot drill but if you slide the hips back with this drill you won't be able to stay balanced. I added a clarification to my earlier post, this tends to be more of a "better player" drill. If you don't have a good handle on Key #2, this drill won't really be that beneficial for the "arms down" piece.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
