Sean i watched your Contact and Spin video and you said that as you planted on your left in the downswing your centre moved to the left and this is what creates ball turf, or hands leading the downswing?

Also a question of lag, as you let the arms fall do you use muscle power to hold the lag till the hands reach the ball or is it natural.

Great techer!!! tx,

PS i have your dvd WHICH IS GR8

Shawn,

With the swing sequence in other videos you discuss a ’squat’ or movement to the left just before the downswing. Would that not have an impact on the arc line of the club in relation to the position of the ball at address?

I am finding that I am not able to get a consistent arc, hitting the ground before the ball or taking very large divots.

Thanks,
David.

Wonderful question! Center of the chest yes and a center that is braced against the left side too! Thanks, Shawn

So, if I play the ball in the middle of my stance, and swing the club on the arc, with no manipulation of club face at address (face is square to arc) and everything else being correct (tilt, stance,etc) I will basically hit the ball straight.
Play the ball back slightly => produces slight draw.
Play the ball way back => produces push / slice
Play the ball slightly forward => produces slight fade
Play the ball very forward => produces major fade or a hook.
Am I on the right track?

Where (approximately) is the “top” of the arc in relation to the body for a right-handed player?

Is it the center of the chest?

Or slightly left of the center of the chest b/c of turning on the left leg?

Great question!
Holding the lag is gravity’s job, more precisely centrifugal force; the key here is to FOCUS ON SENDING THE WHIP OF THE SWING TO THE TARGET!! See “golf pro lesson how to repeat your practice swing” and “Golf Pro lesson put some snap in your swing” Make sure that your grip is bullet proof!!! I have several videos on the grip for a reason!

Head behind the ball and sternum feels right up against the back of the ball at address and over the ball through impact; see “golf pro lesson braced tilt part 2″
Thanks for the question!
