Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just saw the ad for the V harness with Rocco and Jimmy Ballard. Why wasn't Rocco wearing shoes?

If you were Rocco, you wouldn't need shoes.

If anyone has ever played baseball or softball you shouldnt need a training aid .Simple , you cant hit a baseball very far by swinging the end of the bat at the ball first,same goes for a golf ball.In a baseball swing (now go grab a bat) the grip or the end of the bat where your hands are always leed first they have to otherwise you'll be flipping to early and have no power simple.The best way to do this is start your regular backswing to a 3/4 position similar to where you would have your baseball bat,now put a baseball swing into it on the golf swing plane.I know its seems different because one is out in front of you on a horizontal plane and the other is more around or on a 45* angle.The other thing you have to think about is how the body and the bat move together in the swing,the same has to go with the golf club and the body, if they dont move together your  an arm swinger  and arm swingers may be able to get some good power into the ball but just think if you could get your body into it as we'll...you'd probably pick up 10-15mph ball speed and about 20-30yards.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
