I'm 86 and have had a 16 handicap by just swinging my arms. Now I'm trying to adapt my swing with the proper swing sequence with your lessons by using my body with better rotation. My problem is, I'm having trouble with my balance to have a good follow through. Any suggestions?
How can one keep the trail arm wide and not have a ‘flying elbow’ at the same time? Suggested drill(s)?Thanks.
??? Stand in the mud ??? What did you mean?
Hi Martin. How do I make sure my wrists don't close the club face. I had a swing session with the driver and essentially I'm swinging 2˚ down and the club face is closing 2˚ left. I'm working on the shoulder tilt to fix the downswing, but I'm not sure on the club face. Thanks
MC great to see you back mate - love your tips. I find when I try and get more width in my backswing it can introduce sway. Any tips on how the keep this under control?
Great to see you back, Martin. Been a while since I've seen you on here and I've missed you. Your tips really resonate with me and I appreciate your style and pragmatic tips and drills.
What are “wrist conditions”?
Martin,
Don’t mean to hog the comments here, but do you have a drill for keeping the trail foot engaged on the turf longer and avoiding getting up on the toe too early in the downswing. My all flight is actually pretty good but the trail foot/leg action on video drives me nuts!!
