Aaron Smith Swing October 2010 - Face On & DTL

[Brian Manzella]

I started working with Aaron early this year, and have had some assistance from great friend Tom Ness as well.

He has come a long way, and in my opinion, is on his way.

Looks good certainly. Kind of an early clubhead pick up with his hands in the backswing, is he doing that for any particular reason?

I like the position of the club at the top.Neither laid off or across the line.

is this the ex-baseball player you posted about earlier?

what are the key components you've been working on?

 

[rogerdodger]

The relatively early hand movement does not affect the dynamic nature of the pivot at all. There is much to admire in this swing. It looks like he can hit an iron right where he aims.

truly enviable swing.

curious on one thing. often i see people dip at the beginning of the downswing, which, according to some, is not necessarily a bad thing. many players on pga have a dip, different degree. (if we do it, it is bad, if pros do it, they will find a good reason for it, haha)

in this video, it seems that the dip, not insignificant in length, has started earlier.

tell me what i need to know!

BrianM .... Why does Aaron rise on to his left toe when he is about 13-14 seconds into the video and in his downswing? He also vigorously unflexes and straightens his left knee as he is rising up. His hips are parallel to the line and his club is shaft vertical in the downswing, and he's rising on his left foot ... or so it seems to me.

Is this the "Parametric Acceleration" being applied?

Part of the "run up" getting ready to "jump".
