John-ny Mill-er swing thought

[1puttit]

Not sure where I picked this tip up (could have been here or another forum) but wanted to pass it along.

I've been having some problems with my tempo and with starting my downswing sequence correctly. In S&T; they talk about feeling like you're "crushing a can" with your left foot at the beginning of the downswing but that feeling has never clicked with me. Today I tried thinking "Johnny Miller" during my swing where:

John = takeaway to top of backswing

ny = setting club at top of backswing

Mill = push down with the ball of my front foot like I'm trying to crush a can or squash a tomato

er = swing through ball

Hit tons of great shots using this thought including two of the longest drives of my life that we 25 yards past my best drives.  Give it a try, it might work for you too.

If I took my club back as fast as I say John - I'd be ****ed

Really? I'm watching the LPGA right now and saying Johnny Miller during their swings starting the moment I see the club move. I'm just finishing John when they reach the top of their backswing.
