240919 - Swing Notes 2

1. Setup with left knee joint closer to target than the ball then set left grip. For top hand grip, take left grip AS method above belt line in the fingers, align the knuckles and the shaft. Butt end of club belt high in elevation. To solidify the left grip setup, look down at the space between the femurs and almost center the left hand grip between the knees; 1.1. Turn the club face slightly flatter than parallel to spine at the backswing checkpoint.

2. Setup with left knee joint closer to target than the left hand; 2.1. On start of backswing, use the right leg to assist with the following: the right hip joint (and right knee) bump the right hip joint smoothly away level from the target then fish hook deep; 2.2. On downswing, maintain or add right knee flex while the hips open, fire the right hip joint outwards and forwards keeping the right hip joint inside of the toe line. Hips should be slightly tilted so the right hip clears slightly below the left hip with the right knee flexed. This can be confirmed on camera review.

Short Game:

Chip with the eyes, see the line from clubface to the hole.
Putt with the eyes, see the line from Putter face to hole. Pace of putt is controlled by the pace the eyes trace the path from ball to the hole during the stroke. Set left ankle extension at 10% and right ankle flexion at 20%.
For soft squishy lie use bunker swing.

Bunker:

Open face at address such as 45 degrees open AND Hit it fat. Same as the short game listed in full swing but open club face for bounce and try to hit the shot fat but with a full swing. SMACK the sand and hit fat.
