snow shovel drill
 

Toss the snow over your right shoulder to feel your backswing, toss it over your left to feel your throughswing

backswing - grip the top/handle with your left hand
downswing - grip the top/handle with your right hand

use "lag pressure" when filling/scooping the snow - steady smooth pressure, feel it supported from the ground up


And as Burner pointed out.... you simply must stay in complete balance ;)

EdZ's Imagery
 

Folks, EdZ's forte is helping people produce better Golf Strokes through visualization. His Swing Images can really help you make it happen. I always read carefully his descriptive thoughts and recommend the same to you.

Saturday Night and Sunday morning's snow strom left 30+ inches of snow in SE Massachusetts. After mindlessly shoveling for ten minutes, I noticed that when the handle shovel was in my left hand (using the other as a guide), making a left hand motion, I used a two barrel hitter motion using PP #1-#3 (vertical hinging-only wanted to throw the snow a short distance forward).

When the handle of the shovel was in my right hand, making a right handed swinging motion and better use of my torso, I used PP #4-#3.

But, I got the best results when I only felt lag pressure against #3 as I pushed the damn snowblower down-out-forward to low point. :lol:

Thank you for the kind words Lynn, and for coming out of the swamp to share your wonderful wisedom and poetic prose on this glorious game of G.O.L.F.

:D

Drewit - I know the feeling - this past fall while using the leaf blower I found myself understanding 'lag pressure' in a new way. Being able to 'play' with the wind and leaves - steady and smooth motion creating a 'wall of force'
