Impact
position - Master
- (Changed - 15/04/2008)
As you perform the down swing movement
you must totally focus on the precise moment the club head returns
to the ball, you must stop the shoulders from rotating, albeit for
only a milli-second and keep the weight of the body predominantly
over the left leg whilst the passive arms interact, thus performing
the Key Movement and also continuing to swing the club head to the
bottom of the swing.
You will note that I say "you
must totally focus on the precise moment the club head returns to
the ball"
What I am trying to impress on you is that the club head must be
swung through the contact area in a smooth seamless manner without
any attempt to "HIT" the ball -- you
must not focus on striking the ball, you must focus on swinging
the club head to the bottom of the swing arc.
Therefore what you must really concentrate on is judging the
swinging movement of the club head so that as the club head reaches
the ball, the shoulders stop rotating, thus allowing the passive
arms to interact.
Impact Position.
Up
to this point, the club head has been returned to this
position by using a combination of the movement of the hips,
the rotational movement of the shoulders and the release of the
torsion of the muscles of the shoulder region
However at the precise moment the club head returns
to the golf ball, you must ensure that:-
1) The upper body remains slightly tilted to the right, with
the left shoulder slightly higher than the right shoulder.
2) The shoulders must held on the parallel
to the target line, albeit for only a milli-second whilst the
passive arms interact.
3) The head must
be held in a position so that the left eye is slightly behind the
ball.
4) The hands in
the original address position.
( The hands must not be either ahead of the original address position
or behind the original address at the precise moment the club head
returns to the golf ball, they must be in exactly the original address
position.)
5) The elbows
remain held as close together as is physically possible.
6) The weight of the body is predominantly over the left leg.
From this position, the momentum of the arms created during
the down swing movement will allow the passive arms to interact
whilst the shoulders are held parallel to the target line, thus
performing the Key
Movement.
As soon as the both arms are straight, the shoulders will resume
its normal rotational movement thus allowing the right shoulder
to rotate under the chin, whilst simultaneously the whole body pivots
on the left leg and turns to face the target area.
Therefore it is absolutely vital that the head
is held so that the left eye remains slightly behind the ball, the
head is held in the Fixed
Frontal condition, and also the upper
body angles are maintained -- until both arms are straight.
