From: Frankenshank on 19 Jul 2006 10:21 Golf Digest had this great drill from Aaron Baddely: Assume your address position, lay a short iron on the ground with the grip end touching your inside right heel and the shaft touching the front of your left toe (for right handers). Make a swing and start the downswing by shifting your hips along the line of the shaft on the ground. (that is along an imaginary line extending up from the shaft on the ground... ALAN!) Doing this will keep you from spinning out with the hips before you've gotten over onto your left side. and now we await ALAN's comments on my grammar! ;-) Frankenshank

Are you ready for it? .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Actually I came across this tip or whatever you want to call it, some years ago, but I seem to remember that it was during the L'ville/Perfect Impact wars -- and I immediately got shot down in flames. My advice: if it works, use it, but be wary as "tips" are just that, and never a substitute for professional advice. Your continuing good friend, Alan |
