Bucket of water

[benhogan54]

In "The Little Red Book" Penick recommends swinging a bucket of water like you are throwing the water out to your target to give a good feel for the swing. If nothing else, it adds some flow to it. Your opinions?

The idea is sound, but the bucket of water is just a bit heavier than a golf club!

 

[benhogan54]

Definantly heavier, but it gives a good visualization for the direction you should swing in and how to use you body.

It is great for the start to the swing...it shows how a FORWARD PRESS can be helpful.

Brian,

Don't you believe in 'classic' address position with a slight 'grip first' takeaway (ala Bobby Jones)?
