Great stuff!
Interesting vid thanks.
Though never seen someone look so uncomfortable trying to jump up and down.
Maybe it’s harder than it seems…
jumps up and down
Nah
This kind of feels like a great drill for dissociating/separating the hips and upper body movements?
Cordie – practice attempting to flip your driver face like a hacker, as hard as you can from what you perceive your "release point to be" and video it. I guarantee you that you won't be able to actually get a bent left wrist at impact. I've been a sub for a while and have really enjoyed your stuff surprised you don't have more to be honest. You know that as long as you are sequencing and pivoting correctly it's almost impossible to truly flip it because your wrists muscles aren't strong enough. However you have to remember (think hack motion) you want your left wrist EXTENDING into impact; so impact is just a moment in time and you want that left wrist going from flexion -> extension (in a perfect world) moment after impact but you have to feel like it's happening way sooner to line the club up. As a former handle dragger myself you need to practice flipping it to really feel it. Hope that helps.
