Subject: I found something that might help your swing - and it happens before you swing the club
|
NOTE: if you already understand the golf swing, and can apply enough
force to compress a golf ball effectively, this post will be something
that you probably figured out/understood a long time ago.
I found something very simple that might help your golf swing. It is
an easy to perform procedure which is done after you take your grip and
align to the target.
Here is the procedure:
-After you get your grip, stance, and alignment set make sure the
leading edge of your golf club is square to your target line (if you
want to hit the ball straight)
-Then, while keeping the leading edge square (this is VERY important
because the leading edge must not move at all during this procedure)
move your hands in front of your leading thing (left thigh for
righties) and make sure your trailing shoulder is lower than the
leading shoulder (weight should be on left front leg). This should be
the 'Standard Impact Fix' position
-Once you have your body and club in relatively the same position that
you want it in during impact we are ready to perform this simple
procedure:
-Just apply enough pressure to the golf club to flex the clubshaft
-I like to bounce my body from an unflexed shaft to a flexed/stressed
clubshaft. It is important to keep the leading edge in the same exact
position during this entire 'shaft flexing' rehearsal. Pressure to the
grip should come from behind the golf club
I think this helps me feel my pressure points apply good pressure to
the club shaft which is the same pressure that I want to apply to the
clubshaft during impact. If this pressure causes my shaft to flex
during my golf swing, then I am a happy golfer. This makes the my true
temper steel shafts (for my irons) feel very 'bouncy' and 'springy'
during impact. It is a feeling that I want with all the clubs in my
bag ( except the putter ).
Simply use this feeling throughout your downswing to apply pressure to
the golf club and flex the clubshaft.

Thank you Allen. You have been very helpful. I agree that hand
pressure does not flex the shaft during the swing. I think it is
radial and longitudinal acceloration that causes the shaft to flex.
I will check out that forum.

Thanks for trying to share something that works for you. I posted something
a couple of years ago, which I think may be more accepted now, than then. I
was playing with some Korean golfers and they seemed to be really interested
in helping each other. It was like being a kid again when we used to say,
almost on every hole, "what did I do wrong?" and we really tried to help
each other figure out our swings. Imo, Korean golfers seem to have an
attitude that will help them excell in golf, and I don't know that it's a
hasty generalization, but maybe. They make a pretty good car, the Hyundai,
too. And I don't mind supporting a country trying to maintain its democracy
in the face of a tyrant.

Don't be sorry, he's just kidding you. None here are "scratch golfers who
hit the ball 250 yds with a 5 iron". Your drill of flexing the shaft at impact fix
is well known and often described as "dragging a wet mop" but no amount
hand pressure on the grip during the downswing will cause the shaft to flex
more than the existing lag pressure. If you want to converse with TGM
believers go to the www.lynnblakegolf.com forums. There's only a few
here interested in TGM, notably David Laville and Dave Clary.

Hey, Mr.Millionaire Golfer....did you actually respond to my original
post or did you just wait for anything related to the golf swing to
post your snake oil advertisement ?
You guys are a dime a dozen. RSG is for people actually looking to
help and improve their golf. Not for sleazy salesmen looking to make a
quick dollar.

Hey Mr. KnighT whomever you are. You are welcome to your opinion but you
are certainly not the opinion of everyone in RSG. 99% of RSG consists of
scratch golfers who hit the ball 250 yds with a 5 iron and they
certainly don't need any help to improve their golf game...

I enjoyed your post! You've hit on one of golf's hidden secrets.
Great golf happens before you swing the club.
I call these secrets "The Lazy Golfer Way". The Lazy
golfer finds ways to lower his/her score without working
hard. The Lazy Golfer works st.
Here's an example of a Lazy Golfer tip....
-------------------------------------------------------
Lazy Golfer Strategy: EAT POSITIVE THOUGHTS
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
Why Implement This Strategy: Lower your scores!
-------------------------------------------------------
After Jack missed a short putt a fan said, "Sorry you
missed that one, Jack." Jack's response was: "I didn't
miss the putt. It just didn't go in."
Jack was right! He hit the line and speed he wanted,
so in his mind everythingwas fine. This mental approach
protected his self-image and allowed him to move on
without dwelling on it like many of us do after missing
a short putt. By doing so, he prevented the miss from
affecting his self-confidence on future putts.
Beating yourself up mentally by "eating negative thoughts"
is crazy. It's nuts! It's like putting a gun to your
score and pulling the trigger. The only result
of eating negative thoughts is getting a fat, lazy mind.
A fat, lazy mind = high scores!
-------------------------------------------------------
Steps To Implement The "EAT POSITIVE THOUGHTS" Strategy:
-------------------------------------------------------
-------
Step 1:
-------
Ever heard the expression, "What you eat, you are?" Well,
"what you think, you are." When you see yourself starting
to get mad and about to eat a few FATTY THOUGHTS
(e.g. "I'm useless"), choose to eat a positive thought by
telling yourself something great about the shot
(e.g. "Man, my pre-shot routine was amazing.").
-------
Step 2:
-------
Never ever, ever, ever put yourself down on the course
(OR ANYWHERE ELSE!). Choose carefully what you think about.
Don't get FAT on negative thoughts. Stay SLIM by eating
only positive thoughts.
Here's an example:
FAT THOUGHT: "I hate chip shots." Or, "I always chunk my
chip shots."
The instant you start eating negative thoughts, say to
yourself, "stop," and don't allow yourself to eat the
negative thought. Now change that negative into something
productive.
SLIM THOUGHT: "This is going in"
Tell yourself what you want to do. Whether you make a good
chip is not the point. What is the point is that over the
long run, your new, positive dialogue will take you to
a new level of play throughout the whole game.
