The only difference now in the swing we want to turn the right hip back and on the downswing feel the right ankle coming in just like the sway drill.
At the top of your swing if you have transfered your weight correctly, your back knee will be pointed in and you will end up on your toes. |
Okay, I've tried this drill and paid attention to the ankles...which is something new.
But since you've mentioned it, this finish position with the knee pointed in and the right foot on tiptoe is something that has never come naturally to me. I've seen other people who instinctively do this, but I'm only just beginning to get the hang of it. My right foot wants to stay planted and to twist on the ground a bit, letting my knee flex somewhat, but not completely, toward the target. I've worked on this a lot, but the trick is not to make a conscious foot movement but to do the swing so that the foot just naturally ends up the way you describe. I've made progress but I'm not fully there yet. This probably isn't something that most people have to work on.

What will help you is to keep the back foot at a 90 degree angle, do not let it flare out to the right and then you will have something to push off of in the downswing.

Yup, I found that out. If anything, I turn the back foot in just a tiny bit toward the target to get that feeling.
I'll give that a try tomorrow. And I'm also going to actually play a round! Will I break 110?
