PP#3 Where are you?/Downswing Layoff

[drewitgolf]

While it is difficult to provide the advise you seek without seeing your motion, I would suggest you look at the following for starters:

1. Lack of Extensor Action
2. Overly Agressive Hip Turn (Slide) which may cause your Right Shoulder to move too vertically at Start Down, rather than Down Plane. If the Right Shoulder doesn't move Down Plane (Down and OUT) your may run out of Right Arm by the time you get to the ball.
3. Your Off Plane Motion to get to the Top (above Plane) creates momentum that forces your Arms to drop below Plane at Start Down: similar to a Reverse Loop (10-7-E) or a Reverse Loop Shift (10-7-G) but both Under Plane.

Any sound familiar?

Drewit,

ummmmm......Yes..... particularly #1 and #3. I've worked some on both, but tend to ease back into my old habits over a period of time. I think I need to get a little more of a structured plan to working these into my practice routine.

Thanks for the input.

Great reply, thanks Drewit, something to work on. I always felt that lack of extensor action in the downswing was a major culprit. Any drills or feels that would help with one, two or three?

I'll 2nd all of that! Drew is the best dude I have NEVER met. We have burned up some phone lines talking Machine. He is a GREAT guy and in an elite class when it comes to knowing the Machine and its translation.

Here's to one of the few and the proud! When Silver Surfer speaks from his trusty board . . . better listen up!
