Down Swing Sequence of Movements.
( Changed - 08/12/2011)
You reach a point during the back swing movement
when the rotational movement of the compact upper body unit will
force the hips to rotate away from the frontal facing position.
Just before the shoulder sreach
the absoluet end of the back swing movement, press firmly down on
the ground with the left foot, and simultaneously force the hips
to rotate towards the target area.
This dual action of pressing the left foot to the ground and forcing
the hips to rotate towards the target area will eventually force
the passive upper body unit to follow the movement of the hips and
begin to rotate around the central core of the spine.
(Do not allow the hips to towards the target area as they rotate
towards the target area.)
Therefore from the moment the down swing movement begins, the complete
upper body unit must remain totally passive to the movement of the
hips whislt still held firmly together in the configuration that
it attained at the end of the back swing movement,( i,e, with the
wrists in the fully cocked position and the golf club held at approximately
90 degrees to the right arm.)
But importantly, the upper body
unit must remain in this configuration (i,e. where the golf club
is held at approximately 90 degrees to the right arm.) whilst the
hips continue to rotate towards the target area and thereby forcing
the compact upper body unit to rotate around the central core of
the spine.
( The upper body unit must remain totally passive to the movement
of the lower part of the body.)
As the hip movement continues
to force the passive compact upper body unit to rotate around the
central core of the spine,
it is important to understand that
whilst hips continue to force the compact upper body unit to rotate
into the down swing movement, you have to judge the moment when
to add extra power to the left arm in order to pull the club head
through the contact area at speed, thus automatically pulling the
right arm into the fully straightened position and thereby completing
the Key Movement.
However you must
keep the elbows as close together as the arms interact.
(Top class golfers physically
force the right arm into the fully straightened position but for
now simply allow this happen automatically.)
But all this must be performed without allowing
the hips or the head
to sway away from the original address position.
