230812 – Swing Notes 6 w tracer

*critical for intent: Address take weaker left hand grip OUT in front of body, ALIGN clubshaft just INSIDE and LOWER than the left shoulder. SWING with the left arm, when initiating the backswing keep left arm and clubshaft ALIGNED and TURN the entire left arm so that left hand glove logo slightly DOWN to the ground, MOVE hands along INNER HAND ARC during backswing KEEP clubhead on OUTER CLUB ARC.

*****

Favorite warm up drill:

– place cupped left wrist under right triceps and turn the body and right arm to the top.

*****

Short Game:

Chip with the eyes, see the line from clubface to the hole.

For bumps use putting stroke in feel.

For long range pitch use putting stroke in feel.

For soft squishy lie use bunker swing.

Putt with the eyes, see the line from Putter face to hole.

Bunker: 

Open face at address such as 45 degrees open AND Hit it fat. Same as the short game listed in full swing but open club face for bounce and try to hit the shot fat but with a full swing. SMACK the sand and hit fat.

Shape shots:

Use foot pressure to shape the shots, 3 arcs: outside arc, middle arc, inside arc. When weight is mid foot the clubhead travels along the middle arc. When weight is at balls of foot the clubhead travels along the outside arc. When weight is in the heels the clubhead travels along the inside arc. On backswing put pressure in right heel, INITIATE downswing with pressure in the right heel, this makes the club travel inside longer.
