I wanted to see your position at impact, so I stopped the video at around 211-212. Actually that was a little after impact — the balls maybe 8 inches into flight. I thought that I would see your right foot significantly off the ground, but it was just about flat on the ground. Shouldn’t the down swing begin with body rotation, so that by the time of impact the right foot should be well on its way to being on the toe? Thanks,
It will be from that angle an 1″ off the ground probably. You can see how much my hips have rotated at that same postion, they are a lot more open vs setup. Here is another great angle for you that I did with all the golf clubs;
Trouble developing/telling if I have effortless arms. Seems to me if I: 1. Have loose arms at set up 2. Have proper grip 3. Develop little more “trigger” turn with legs & hips that I will automatically have looser arms as a result. Think this will be true?
Yes, this should be true. But most students need that extra push in getting their arms looser, so I would love for you to be doing some of these drills and make them a habit:
