Get the left knee outside of the left foot and roll over onto the inside of the right foot before letting the heel come up off the ground. Both of these thoughts will help to get the hips moving forward toward the target before turning open.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574495817462192.post-45022412647016913942010-08-24T17:40:57.729-07:002010-08-24T17:40:57.729-07:00Thanks.

Two, the hip motion is made very simplistic by the knee motion and feet which are pretty simple. I can't really explain it w/o giving it away, but it sure beats thinking about actively turning the hips.<br /><br />Drawing or fading the ball is pretty simple as well, done by some simple adjustments at address with the ball and the feet.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />3JACKRich H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00619151630318195719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574495817462192.post-33287543788081756082010-08-24T07:34:37.297-07:002010-08-24T07:34:37.297-07:00This was a good post.

Turned 90 degrees, that tilt is oriented towards the ball to maintain your inclination to the ground.<br /><br />I will also say that many players used to translating to their right will FEEL like they're leaning left, but that feeling is just to help them stay centered.<br /><br />So you're right to be skeptical, but I'm still not entirely sure it's well understood. There's no literal "leaning towards the target" at the top of the backswing. P1 through P4 the goal is to remain stacked - upper center on top of lower center. Then the hips unstack as they push forward and leave the upper center where it was. The upper center won't move from P1 to P8 or so.<br /><br />As for the knock against S&T for distance, I don't know if I get it. Mike and Andy didn't set out to design a swing that would hit the ball the farthest. If they did you'd see a lot of extension back and through (like Jason Zuback), you'd bend both elbows a lot to add more levers, etc. But the forward hip push and the "jumping" components as well as the extension through the ball are certainly distance components, and in the end the S&T swing arrives at its stated goal of hitting the ball the cleanest, farthest, and with good control. A mix of all aspects.<br /><br />Oh, and Troy Matteson would beg to differ that S&T can't be used to hit the ball a long way. :-) Or to set scoring records.<br /><br />Anyway, I feel like I might have overstayed my welcome with the length of that comment. If so, sorry. :-)Erik J. Barzeskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994809867820102323noreply@blogger.com
