Maybe we have been hacked.🤣

Couple of points that may help you: - If you struggle to curtail sway in takeaway, in practice try activating your trail femoral adductor as your torso moves the club away. The femoral adductors are the muscles that people who use a ‘Thigh Master’ are actually working. They move the leg (femur) towards the body centreline. - From the top you should re-centre, transiting onto your lead foot, so maybe focus the opposing force downward under your lead instep not the trail. - The trailside does support pivot through impact (at least that’s what the research seems to suggest), but prior to this the ‘push’ off of the lead leg should have assisted the lead oblique and driven the lead hip back in pivot. Hope helps and all the best.]]> In reply to Raymond Devine.

Thanks for the feedback. 👍 I am glad the article rang true for you. Couple of points that may help you:

As a “feel” player your point about “vertical torque” in the musculature really resonates. In the early takesway Ive been concentrating on staying more centred and not swaying to the trail side (previous flaw causing block right). Whith this staying centred the torqe builds early in the takesway on the inside of the trail leg and rises up to the hips and pelvis. The shoulder turn then feels like torque is added to the abdominals, obliques and latimuss dorsi. This torque then unwinds the upper body with its oppising force which trasfers vertically down into the trail instep proving kind of “push off” feeling.

As a complete novice golfer this resonated with me as a secondary science teacher. A great read, thank you.
