As you may recall, I've had some issues with my through pivot for most of my golf career and ever since the surgery it has gotten worse. I suggested this little drill/swing thought the other day (http://3jack.blogspot.com/2008/12/good-lower-body-drill.html). I got it to work a bit, but not exactly where I want to be and still a lot of work to go. I'm starting to believe that my inefficient pivot causes me to baby flip and not get enough extension after impact. Later today I will tell you of another swing thought I am working to improve my pivot.
Anyway, wanted to bring attention again to Mr. Mike Maves (Sevam1) great blog. He's had a couple of dandies this week...a good post on the forgotten legend of Peter Thomson and then work on Moe Norman's grip (http://sevam1.blogspot.com/2008/12/how-moes-grip-works.html). For those who don't know, Moe gripped his club more in the palms where as the typical grip is more in the fingers and the pads of the fingers. I experimented with Moe's grip, but Maves explains it with some things I didn't know. Still, I don't think it's a grip meant for everybody and I believe his grips were built up bigger to accomodate him gripping the club in his palms ...but this is worth checking out nonetheless...because that Norman guy knew a thing or seven about the golf swing and they tell me he could knock it around the course alright.
