Set the toes toward the target but set the shoulders parallel to the target line. You will feel immediated stretch of the muscles for a good pivot. Then take the club back back a short distance and turn the hips left for the down stroke. The stretch of the muscles can be felt throughout the downstroke. Next, only open the feet 45 degrees and hit the ball a little further with the same feels of stretch. One problem that I am not sure of is ball placement in relation to the feet? Seems that moving the ball a little forward toward the target helps. Another thing that helps me is to concentrate on maintaining a bent wright wrist through impact and let the pivot do the job. Next you can take a square stance and hit shots with with feel of lag that you got from the previous exercises. I think that you will feel the shoulders lagging the hips throughout the downstroke. Seems that Hogan and V.J. Trolio accomplished the the same thing later in the swing when they had the arms moving back while the lower body was moving forward/pivoting left. dkerby View Public Profile Send a private message to dkerby Find all posts by dkerby
