Did you say anything that had "sky" and "belly" in it?
Never talked about the sky, but we did talk about his belly.
The change is somewhere much deeper and even nothing changes in video / stills, the ball flight can change a lot. It happens inside of us and can't be seen from outside.
TrackMan saw all of it.
Stand up a little taller and quit taking a divot.
Never told him a thing about his posture, per se.
The divot was a result, but we got some next-to--zero divot 5.5° downs on the last few balls of of the ground. The divot can tell you something, but is NOT an angle of attack indicator.
Sometimes they even show some differences which are not visible in photos, but still ball flights the same. Thats the way to play the game.
You need a TrackMan
he has "tugged less" ie "slacked more"
he has rotated the face less through impact
he has come less from the inside with less shaft lean
he has slowed the pivot more.
Never said a THING about slack to him—although he might be tugged less.
The face was RESULT of going normal correctly.
The less inside was due to the reward being removed for the inside-out swing.
He was trying to use his pivot
more—just differently.
Dammit I was going to say toss.
I told him about a through the ball toss, not an out toss at ALL, an only mentioned it once or twice.
I'm dealing with a player here, you see.
Picture 2 of the after sequence.
His legs looks better in the bottom pictures (this is what Matt's saying too?).
His legs only look better, because you are looking for the wrong things.
No offense.
You can also see that the hands are more 'up' in the after picture. From "going normal" I presume?
Why not?
The second row of pictures shows a better right elbow/forearm release. If you told him to straighten his right arm sooner and more completely then you told him what I would have told him. And if you got him to do it by telling him to do the basketball free throw toss you spoke of in your new release video then you did a good job. Chuck Cook told me that Butch Harmon simply told Tiger to straighten his right arm earlier to help his pivot problem. I also heard he told him to keep his right heel down longer during the downswing. Claude Harmon I'm sure told Butch that " if you spin you don't win._Whatever you told him, you made him have a better right arm release in the bottom pictures. Thats my story and I'm sticking with it.
Coop,
The top is the after.
I never said a thing about the out-toss in the lesson.
I now like right arms that don't straighten through impact.
Funny, David never straightened his.
