Subject: Left eye - full swing setup
|
Sorry for posting on a topic that may have been addressed previously
but I have been unable to find any results throught google.
Does anyone have an opinion/information on the Jack Nicklaus head tilt
at setup? In other words, how do you feel about looking at the ball
with your left eye during the set up?
Recently I've been trying to take the club back on an inside plane in
order to correct a slight OTT move and I was wondering if the left eye
technique would aid this in any way.
Thanks.

A buddy of mine just went to a Mac O'Grady school for 3 days, with Mac
there himself. He said that he's never met a guy that knew more about
the golf swing in conjunction with the way the human body works.
They talked about this subject, and Mac O believes that the eyes should
be equidistant from the ball so your binocular vision works it's best.
He also believes that the head should be angled so that your eyeballs
are centered in their sockets when addressing the ball.
I don't have any more details since I didn't go to the class.

equidistant and angled, in conjunction, is a little ambiguous.
I don't get the rationale, just focus the eyes on the ball, and strike
it squarely.

Jack Nicklaus is left eye dominant. He is also color-blind.
He has explained the head tilt helps him focus with his dominant eye and
also helps him make a full turn.

Its all about the full turn. You gain an extra 10-15% in distance by
turning your head without loss of accuracy, simply because it allows
your shoulders to turn further without knocking your head off axis.
It does require a little practice, though. Like everything else.

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between
two golfers neither of whom can putt very well.

Interesting that you mention Jack Nicklaus is color blind, I had no
idea. By sheer coincidence I am also color blind. I'm not sure about
the whole left eye dominant phenomena however. Are you referring to
clearer vision in the left eye?

keep both eyes on the ball until after impact,
drop both hands *straight* down at the *very* beginning of the
downswing,
now, let's see you come over the top,
forget jackie boy, he's history.
btw, you are to strike the ball squarely on the sweet spot.
get it all together, and remember where you put it.:--)

Drive average 280 without head turn, 310 with.
YMMV. I can't get good tension between the
shoulders and hips without a little more turn.

Was wind conditions the same, what about fairways? I want to know
published facts from test not what you perceive to be further
distances since I doubt you take measuring equipment with you to the
course.

According to Nicklaus himself, who explains this in his book Golf My Way,
the head tilt was a result of him being left-eye dominant, which is about as
common as left-handedness. It was a way for him to get his dominant eye
behind the ball.
