I have no trouble making a full turn and even setting my wrists on my practice swing, but take a much shorter and limited swing when it comes to my actual swing – HELP! How do I break this mental block?
This move is similar to one I use, just expressed differently, and no, mine doesn't rhyme. I turn my back to the target, then my chest to the target. I think I'll use Martin's instead.
well, yes. jack's exercise is a good one; and it, also, promotes manubrium mobilisation, thus enabling the right clavicle to glide along the first rib, which turns the right shoulder. but, chest rotation isn't that simple. and, it may be that rotating the chest doesn't stand up to the test. bill mehlhorn describes it best. he tells us that we should move back just the way we would if someone appeared behind us, at address, and we turned to look at them. What does the right leg do when we do this? the muscles down the left side of the leg activate, drawing the leg back, to enable the chest to turn. in the swing we just turn the chest further. and, as the chest continues to turn it turns the hip. but, the hip turn is not a constant in the backswing. the leg moves the hip back; and, then the hip turns. but, the movement of the hip is passive- just as it is passive in the downswing. and, when you watch jack closely it is very notable how his right leg draws back slightly just before he takes the club back- just as hogan's leg, also, moved back.
This is great. I could never really get a feel for turning my left shoulder. The feel I get turning my chest is more successful for me for making a good turn from the ball.
