Is that SNOW? 🥶 Another great video!
I needed this video soooooo bad. Thank you Russell!
My big takeaway (and thank you very much for the concise explanation) for both staying in posture and covering the ball is to combine correct amount of lateral movement with upper body rotation simultaneously for ball turf contact in the case of irons and for hitting up on a teed up ball with a driver. A critical combination of lower body lateral move with upper body rotation is the way to stay in posture (not changing forward tilt of spine from address) and cover the ball (ensuring sternum is past the ball for irons at impact and before the ball for a driver to hit up on. teed up ball..
Crystal.
RH, You are a stud, that weather looks rough.
The tip I've been looking for. Thanks a lot
Great, simple video. At some point, in an effort to stay behind the ball, I got into a reverse pivot with my weight on my right foot at impact. This gives me a couple simple principles to focus on in practice to get my weight forward at impact and rotate properly and then take that feeling on to the course. Thank you, Russell.
It's snowing russ 🙂 i'm suprised the range is open.
I am trying that flared leg idea tomorrow.. very interesting.
Over many years I developed a strong sliding to the left motion to stay down through the ball to accommodate my “JD Over-swing”. Working now on a more compact backswing while triggering the downswing with a strong move left and getting my right hip to turn towards the target. Using video review my progress the slide still creeps into my swing 🙁 Any tips or drills ? Would you consider creating a YouTube lesson on this? Thx
IMO the worst word that has permeated golf over the last half-century is “slide”. Golfers are terrified of it, except any good ball striker slides 4-6” forward like Russ does. No forward slide and you can tilt and rotate forever and still cast the club on the downswing. Watch any great ball striker (Trevino and Niemann are excellent examples). They bump forward, tilt a huge amount while allowing their lead side to open up, and pretty much hit the ball with their right ear. The ball is on the ground; most golfers hit at it. Good players tilt and turn down to it, like a submarine-style pitcher. Watch videos of Russell from the front; his trail shoulder is much lower than his lead, and his chest and hips are open to his target so that the club travels to the ball efficiently and with very little face rotation. Gonna be tough for him to hit many shots off-line with that sequence. Great stuff here.
What is that white stuff? In England? Really does look beautiful!
Never mind “covering the ball” and “staying down” the biggest issue for me , is how on earth is he going to find those golf balls in the snow ? 😂❄️🏌🏻♂️🔍
