Dave I've been absorbing your book, which is fantastic. I've been working on trying to get on the heels more. I think I've done alot of damage to my lead knee and back by rotating on the forefoot of my lead foot my whole golf career. Today when I played I made good progress on staying on the heels. I almost felt like a hammer thrower. I have a question. In trying to find the balance, and playing the ball further away from me, I experimented with trying to keep good posture in my thoracic portion of my back. I was trying to not hunch over as I setup to the shot. I found that by doing that I was able to comfortably keep on the heels throughout the swing. Your thoughts? P.S. Felt zero back pain and stiffness both during and after the round. I can't recall the last time that happened.
Great video on a topic rarely analyzed. I have found through my own analysis that the 'semi-pro' Quasimodos have a tendency to straighten the lead leg too early during rotation leading to the Quasimodo look .. which can also bring a flip on release. Bonus - want to see a pro blow a cut and pull it instead .. easy - just get the timing off on the left leg extension. Ps. You can clearly see Zalatoris and Paige - lead leg still flexed just prior to impact whilst Cogorno and teacher guy .. fully extended (unless pre impact pic is bad).
Great stuff! Kirk Junga has been saying the same thing for years. He says you will never get better if you are close to the ball. Thanks for reinforcing this in my own setup.
100 percent disagree with what you are saying. Paige is doing a stall through impact with her lower body. While there are a few great players that stall through impact, there are far many more that exhibit the club and body together through impact. The better the player, the less stall you have. Paige is a mediocre golfer if you actually follow women's golf and that is at the mini tour level.
I’ve always played better standing a bit further away from the ball, but it’s easy to creep back too close over the years. Thanks for the reminder 💪🏼😎

Man… this is a GREAT vid

Junge definitely understands the setup distance issue..he is the rare exception among teaching pros.
You're absolutely right. Larry Nelson and Paige ARE identical. And I've made a terrible, terrible mistake...
i would suggest Moe Norman set up Keep the left arm and club in a straight line at. set up.
Does the same apply for pitching?
great work! thanks for these videos they are helping me!
Glad they are helping
Does this have any relevance in the short game. Also did you make any equipment changes such as lie angle etc. thanks.
No equipment changes needed and chipping and putting one needs to find what works best for them - neither requires dynamic movement skills
You just need to keep your head over the right foot and dont be afraid th use your pivoting hips as a pendulum.

So, I guess you don't understand how momentum is created and transferred .... and you missed the point about Paige.
