swaying to the right.

[jenhaoyen]

Can somebody list out what kind of damage would do to your golf swing..and what kind of ball flights?

Well, no expert, but you would have a hard time with a consistent low point right?

Please give me YOUR definition of it.

I totally disagree.

no turning hip, just sliding to the right.

I feel like this could cause over the top and flipping.

When I used to sway i was extremely below plane. Low point control was OK.

Ditto on that.

I call swaying losing your angle in your right leg so it is almost straight up and down, good luck finding any consistency when you can't keep that angle.

 

[curtisj76]

I totally disagree.

Well if low point is just outside your shoulder (or wherever) and you swayed back, wouldn't that move low point? Otherwise you would have to return to the same spot to be consistent??? BTW, I said I wasn't an expert

Swaying to the right by definition means you arent turning. So IMO, you would struggle to get your rear shoulder or hands to reach the plane. So I see alot of swayers back up to find the plane on the way down and get under the sweetspot in the process.

Nice music, shame about the rest?

May 1st, when the range opens here, I´m actually contemplating trying a S&T/Morad type pivot as a cure for my huge self-proclaimed sway...

I´d really like to hear a Manzella Definition of Sway...

i could tell it was bad when "point of tangency" was mentioned.

 

[curtisj76]

I'm in no position to say that was right or wrong, but I don't care. The way you presented that info was amazing drulf. I think Bmanz and drulf need to get together.

Bmanz + drulf = amazing way to provide info to our coconuts!!!!

Is Colin Montgomery's pivot considered a sway ?

 

[vandal]

I'm interested in Brian's response because in NHA 2.0 he mentions a hip slide to the instead of a turn. But there's obviously a difference between a sway and a slide.

 

[Slicer McGolf]

I look at a slide when the hips move back and end up over the rear leg. From a face-on view, I wouldn't want to see a straight line from hip socket through the knee on the back leg.

Here it is folks.

Nice "PowerPoint" Flash-type presentation.

It is VERY wrong. No offense.

All comments on this thread and my BLOG entry on this subject will move to that thread:

A real "sway" is when the golfer moves his right leg and and upper body, far neyond what any good player has ever done.

In other words an upper body to the right of 1980 Curtis Strange, with a right leg and knee outside the right foot.

You could have and "upper body sway" (right of C.S. circa '80) and you could have a lower body sway (far right of 1990 Colin Montgomery).

The problem is the current fad of left lean and centered pivots, much like when it was in fashion in the '70's, like to call anything to the right of their preference, a sway.

See ypu in the other thread.
