Recently had a friend/teacher recommend me a fix. I have a problem of getting my lower body going a bit early and arms staying behind too much (well, at least what i've been told and can see in video). So, the fix was two fold.
First, I need to learn to make the start of my downswing more passive. Slow the body movement down and allow the arms to catch up/sync up a bit. I hit balls with my left heel in the air at address and kept it there throughout the entire swing. It obviously limits your body motion on the through swing and I guess it's suppose to slow my initial body motion.
Second, I need to learn to rotate my body once my arms are back in position on the way down, he said roughly when the club is vertical for the last time. But I asked how i learn this and he said by learning move one, then allowing my self to fire.
So, my question is, does this sound like good advice? I know it is hard to tell without a video. I don't listen to many people regarding swing advice, but this guy does seem to know a good amount. He'll reference how the body slows and allows the arms and club to transfer energy (snapping the chain), he doesn't favor flat/upright, centered or leaning right pivots. But was just curious what this form thought since all of you guys have a wealth of knowledge.
