The first four ‘TOP 10 ‘take homes’ from the latest Project 1.68 information’ focus on the Kinetic Sequence but comment across a number of threads, at least for me, have muddy the meaning or intent.
1. The Kinetic Sequence may be, at its heart, just a reaction.
Reaction to what?
2. Pivoting like crazy is crazy.
“You want all force going away from the ball toward the golfer near and at impact. If you unwind too much, too soon, good luck with that.”
75% of all the speed in your golf swing comes from your shoulder complexes, your arms, your wrists, and your hands.
This seems obvious regarding a good golfer, given I have seen golfers hit off their knees and while sitting down, distance less than when standing up but still considerable. From my observations I couldn’t place number on the amount each contributes.
The first question does the ‘Pivot’ include the Torso Rotation?
Next question is for the golfer who is not quite a top level, will the lack of stability, balance and mobility reduce the 75% contributed by the shoulder complex, if the pivot has been zeroed out say by sitting.
3. Trying to shift weight back and forth, or NOT shift weight at all, or shift forward early, is ALL a waste of time. So is trying to restrict the movement of the head. THEY ARE ALL REACTIONS TO THE SWING when done properly, except maybe something to start the thing off for some.
For example is this to say that if pivot in the back swing is done properly then the balance and stability would be maintained rather than trying to manipulate the body’s movement to keep from losing balance or becoming unstable as the golf stroke motion continues?
4. The pivot is very important for POSITIONING the shoulder complexes/arms/wrists/hands/& club.
Would this be restricted to just the Back swing or would it include the Down swing and Follow Through?
Thanks....
I do find the following posts to be extremely informative and provide the basis of the beginning for crib notes.
