HA thats what tom watson used to say after pounding balls on range. i wish i had 10 cents for every time i said that.
i think i got it.
i consistently started the swing using all upper body. i think i have it, is this feeling?
staying very loose from the hips up, as you get to the top of the your back swing you are trying to propel the club through the ball by using your weight shift from the right to the left foot while keeping your arms tension free and letting the club fall right down to the ball. no attempt to hit it just trying to whip it through by using the weight shift.
thoughts?
this game is crazy!!!

Congratulations, but if you find that you really don't have it, then try the Master Key instruction that I have been posting about. I "got it" about 8 months ago, using that instruction, and I still have it. Now if I just had two good eyes to read greens with...oh well.

Congratulation from me too. I also use my upper body to pull my lower body during back swing. Then use my lower body pull everything back down in downswing. One thing I really pay attention to is my Balance. I make sure I am in Balance back and through. That's all : )

That's how I do it also.... after 3 years of being an upper body hitter!!!!

I learned a while ago however to never say "I got it". As soon as I did....... I would lose it.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
