Combating Throw Away

[henning]

Regarding the throw out action/feel on the downswing as discussed on the videos, I have seen instructors drilling their students to throw a club towards the target...I was wondering if this is an effective drill...should the drill be down and out where the club would be thrown into the ground or right of target towards first base.

If you buy a book called "Extraordinary Golf" by Fred Shoemaker you´ll find pictures in the book showing the students in a sequence hitting on a golfball and in the next sequence doing this drill. It´s a remarkable difference in Accumulator Lag. I´ve seen the same thing doing this to my students.

Against a wall on the trailing side helps my friend alot. if the club knocks the wall, or the acceleration not constant you will hit the wall.

He tried to solve casting for 15 yrs in playing golf and this eventually helped him.

FANTASTIC POINT!!! Philly have you done any work on your game in this area? What have you done to "fix it?"

Hey 12!

Ok....hang on....

Meditation.

Yep.

And visualization.

I know, I know....but....just try it!

Nuke,

Can you elaborate some?
Thank you.

You can put any kind of stuffs about on the trailing side , a bag, plastic pipes etc, Just enough about an arm length away from your trailing shoulder.

Then Go to the top of the swing , then swing down.

You must attempt to accelerate the club longitudinally, or you will hit that barrier. And your motion Drop the club to waist height then Turn everything in sequence also.

Be careful dont destroy something you like .. or something thats too hard to destroy your club.

More like a Quick Fix . but that at least will get you to know what longitudinal acceleration and swinging with some lag feels like.

Thank you. Now I get it.
