Paul,
Great tip! I have found this to be very helpful and I am surprised at how much further I hit the ball when I can turn my lower body to the target with loose hinged wrists. Thanks
It solved SEVERAL problems with my swing…it gave me a bit better backswing extension, a bit better lag, and also unexpectedly cut loose my hips so they could rotate faster and finish facing the target; i found my weight shifted onto my front foot on follow through, and i got a lower trajectory on my driver with longer roll distance, and on my irons i got more compression.
All of this with much less effort in my swing!!
I wish I would have seen this tip a long time ago!
I enjoyed the tip…. when lifting the heel it seems like the first downswing thought needs to be replacing the heel before initiating your regular sequence… Yes or thoughts?
The downswing happens so fast that if you are thinking about replanting the heel then you have probably hit the golf ball by then and then you would not be using your lower body to hi the golf ball. I would be focusing on using your legs and hips to hit the ball and turning your hips to hit the ball. If you turn your hips then you will replant the heel.
Paul this could really help me get closer to 90 degrees but what about hips – do they still stay 45 degrees? I have issue of over rotating hips which causes inconsistent ball flight
