My Swing (saevel25)

[saevel25]

Another trip to Erie, PA. 

Still worked on some backswing stuff. Just not there yet. I tend to do everything a bit too much. 

Here are my notes...

Basically the backswing should be.. Slight shift right (this could be where the left knee extends a bit). Using the left leg to push off the ground.  Raise the arms up and torso turn. Mostly it just feels like I am just raising my arms.  Keep the lower body facing forward. Feel like I don't let the knees rotate at all. It is going to feel like I don't turn at all with the hips (they will). 

The swing should feel much more compact and shorter in duration. Instead of carrying on to 60+ degrees of hip turn, 110+ degrees of shoulder turn, 120 degrees of right arm bend those numbers should be reduced by 25%+. 

In the downswing, I need to keep my arm width as I lower the arms to my right pocket. The left arm is scraping down the chest. Don't feel much in terms of recentering body weight. I tend to overdo this (lots of slide towards the target). So, it is going to feel like I stay way behind the ball. Just straighten the leg during the entire downswing. Straighten it in a way that pushes my left hip back. It is possibly going to feel like my back faces the target longer as I bring my hands down. Also, I need to push off with the left leg as well during that timeframe. 

Getting closer. I am able to do most of this stuff. It is just getting it baked in more.
