- I set up, move the putter back with the left shoulder (left hand carrying the weight of the putter) and letting the face open as the head goes back.
- Then on the forward motion, the head and shoulders do not turn back while the right hand whips back closing the putter head back to the ball.
What happens? The ball goes directly true to the target line.
Well, today I applied the 1-2 principle to the full golf swing. I went like this:
- (The mind thinks of the swinging the club around to the top only, until the left hand cocks) Set up with the alive grip, three left fingers in control and the two right middle fingers cradling the club like a fulcrum. Push the club with the left shoulders around to the top and letting the club fully cock while letting the body twist as much as possible.
- From the top, do a "violent" twist around without stopping for the ball - just around. Let everything happen naturally. This is a full momentum swing. Viola! Discovery of the Swing - or Hogan's secret!
- Remember Rory McElroy when executing this swing. It is pure wind and unwind swing - deliberately forgetting the ball!
- The execution of the alive grip is not only important but a necessity and an integral part of this method. Specifically, what is essential is the right finger fulcrum. Before starting the left shoulder (the one that starts the backswing) pushes towards the clubhead, the club must be in a state of "balance" or alive. This ensures that the clubhead is automatically cocked (all full shots - short iron and up to the driver needs cocking). 17Apr2011.
- Another technique which may not be essential as no. 4 above is as mentioned in number 1 is how to make the "push" of the club by the left shoulder "EASY". Well, if one will align the club shaft and the left arm in a straight line (essentially putting the club shaft off-perfendicular and slightly pointed to the right) - pushing will then be pointed already going to the right (vs. the club perpenpedicular to the target line)
