Is core muscle memory such as leg, hip, torso easier to ingrain?

Large muscles are obviously more powerful than smaller muscles, but don't respond as quickly from stimulus or mental thought (compare blinking your eye lids to lifting your leg up and down)
I think what you are getting at is using large muscles in the forward/downswing. If you look at some of the swings of the very best golfers, they initiate core muscles of the foward swing just before the end of the backswing.

Greg Norman starting to load into his left side (contracting hip and knee extensors) before the top of the backswing


Ben Hogan making a similar move.

What do you mean, "ingrain?"

Sorry.

I meant in context of "ingrain muscle memory".

    • I have had the flu recently which gave me plenty of time to pore over Joseph Mayo’s instagram. I have hit a ton of shots each day on carpet and a little started how easy this shot is to make. Key thought for me is bring the club “no closer to the earth.” That really resonated with me. If I really steepen the attack angle I can hit my 58* lob wedge barely an inch or two off the ground and a repeatable distance. I don’t recommend this but tried it to what the end ranges are for angle of descent. I actually think a 62*-64* wedge might be even better for this shot.

    • Day 306 - More of the same focus, grip and backswing. Used the Divot Board to see how group contact was, and as expected, half the time I wasn't even making contact with the board.
