For Brian: When to begin the drop?

[tbarbertab]

Brian,

During our last lesson, we worked on "more level" shoulders during the first half of the downswing. Along with this "higher left shoulder longer" feel, I've also been trying to delay the drop of the hands/arms/club. At the range yesterday, I made a few swings with the feeling of allowing the arms to fall more normally while still keeping the left shoulder "high". This created a different downswing feel, and seemed to work OK, but I wanted to ask you about this first.

Another way to put it is that before, it felt like the drop and the left shoulder dip were more connected or in sync. With the new feel, they feel disconnected, or not in sync. What do you think?

Thanks

i know very little.......so take what i say with 3 tablespoons of salt

i do the drop (catch the drop) and brian once said to me when i asked when to begin the drop...as soon as you start to move left or center..choose 1.........drop it

So i will be happy to share a drill i learned..not mine i just use it

go and stand next to a wall,the wall to your right

put your right hand on your hip and let the right elbow just touch the wall.

no golf club needed...get a basketball....or a bucket you use when hit balls.....put ur hand on each side of the ball..even better bunch up a bath towel

posture etc.....now turn into the wall and stop when the ball touches the wall.

do it 3 times

now put the ball down and do the same thing with your hands touching wall.......ok n ow fully turn back to impact

ok we are here.......now and this is the move

no club

turn to the wall

hands touching the wall

go slowwwwwwwwwww.......do a slight hula back BUT....leave your hands on the wall....as soon as you feel movement....DROPPPPP it remember drop it down...your turn will bring it forward

THERE MUST BE A BIT OF FORWARD MOVEMENT BEFORE THE DROP

DAMN AM I A LOUSY RITER

BUT...IF IT WORKS

THIS IS THIS

and thats that
