- 2021-07-11: The correct Golf downswing is best executed with a fully coiled body, fully cocked hands, the tautness uncoiling automatically like the rotors of a helicopter along the plane.
- 2021-07-11: The objective of the upswing MUST be to place the body in the COILED ALONG THE PLANE position. 2021-09-09: PLEASE REMEMBER THIS AND DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE OTHER DISCOVERIES THAT FOLLOWS. IT IS COIL, UNCOIL. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. JUST EXECUTE THE SECRET OF SOG. 2021-09-10: At Crestbrook learned, after a nice coiled turn where the weight of the club is felt at the top, JUST YANK the felt weight towards the ball and continue to turn to a picture-perfect finish. NO HAND MANIPULATION AT ALL. But the left wrist is firm and left arm is in full control.
- 2021-07-11: In a broader way, the one piece takeaway is the answer to achieve the correct COILED feeling. However, an explanation of the parts and sequences is in order.
- The shoulders must start the turn.
- The left and right hand must flick the club bank along the plane.
- Continue and bounce the club back.
- 2021-07-12: Using the shoulders and the wrists, coil-flick the club head to the top.
- This is the same as no. 3 with the coil-flick phrase invented.
Putang-ina mo, One-piece Downswing pa la lang!
2021-07-31: Grassy Hill Golf Club with Dean Suba and Ernie deBorja. One-piece takeaway, one-piece pull, then right palm it to a picture-perfect finish.
2021-08-05: While practicing, leaving the left hand fully lifting the club - essentially making the club weightless - makes a one-piece takeaway simpler to execute. The cocking also becomes automatic and one does not need to be aware of it happening. 2021-08-21: Wrap the right hand firmly to get a better bounce on the upswing. It is also a must for chipping.
IMAGINE
2021-08-14: First, execute the one-piece takeaway without thinking of the plane. Imagine, on the downswing, pulling with left shoulder the clubhead towards the ball with the sole purpose of hitting it forward (to burrow the ground) and through - finishing high and weight shifting intentionally forward. Right hand guiding.
CLUB-HEAD CENTRIC
2021-08-23: Mind, sight, feelings and emotions are all focus on the location of the clubhead. You see where the clubhead is, you feel its weight, your mind visualizes what you want to do with it and your emotions controls the tempo, strength and speed of its intended travel. In short, it is the clubhead that one must focus on, think about - when rendering the golf swing.
2021-08-24: And here is the main reason why this MUST be done. It is not because it makes the shot crisper and so many other little pluses. IT IS BECAUSE ON THE DOWNSWING WHEN THE ONE-PIECE DOWNSWING IS EXECUTED (upswing forced the body to face backwards at this stage), THE BODY IS ALREADY PAST THE BALL POSITION WHEN THE CLUBHEAD REACHES THAT POINT (DUKOT move while the body is still facing backwards) - THAT THE WEIGHT SHIFT AND RESULTING SNAPPING ACTION (body faces the target) - BECOMES A U T O M A T I C .
Note that there will be times when the mental picture of the swing is like helicopter rotors on the plane with head sticking out. No problem, the intent should be the same. Of course, the sticky hands is the result of a full throw of the clubhead at the upswing.
STICKY LEFT HAND
2021-08-29: On the downswing, when the left shoulder pulls the club head towards the ball, the left hand must be sticky and actively be pulling the club. This is true for all, even in putting.
Experiment if sticky both clasped hands will work better? Answer: No, it is only the left hand. And we can say, as a result, that the primary purpose of the upswing is to load up the sticky left hand.
2021-09-06: The one-piece takeaway pronates / fans the clubhead to the top and the one-piece downswing pulls it back to the ball. By the way, this fanning motion brings the weight of the clubhead around the body - thus coiling the body fully and creating a stored explosive power.
2021-09-08: On the downswing, make sure that the body mass is already past the ball by the time the clubhead reaches it, thus ensuring a pulling action and consistent divot. Correct ball position is a big factor in achieving this objective.
MUSINGS
2021-09-12: Cocked or arm-club straight at the top? Cocking may be longer but timing is off with YANKING. On the other hand, YANK is a simpler to execute and could also be long. Experiment this.
2021-09-13: The "straight at the top" is really the feeling of being aware of the weight of the club one is going to YANK towards the ball to get the desired distance and direction. It is playing by instincts.
2021-09-16: LIMP LEFT WRIST
Problem: How come when I pull the club and shift my weight forward, the timing of the hit gets out of rhythm? But I remember eons ago that when I over-cock, it works!
Answer: The culprit is the stiff left wrist. THE LEFT WRIST MUST BE LIMPED ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TREBUCHET WORK! So one has to feel the weight of the club with the limped left wrist instead of the body alone.
2021-09-23: Right now the perfect golf swing for me is this. - Visualize the plane.
- Maintain a LIMP LEFT wrist with the right hand supporting the left hand.
- Even if there is a feeling of disconnection, feel the one-piece takeaway and turn the left shoulder around the plane and COIL to the top. (Should be easier mental picture since the shoulders and arms the only ones in the picture. The club and left hand are not since they are allowed to move automatically with the limped left wrist)
- Then unleash the power on the ball position - making sure the LIMP wrist will cooperate in the process.
