Banks and ‘Impact’
Hey my friend good to hear from you thank you for the video um like I said in the uh in the uh communication you’ve used the word um slowly and in terms of you making changes to your swing I don’t think that’s entirely accurate I think you’re
Making some changes very quickly and I think those changes are very very good indeed let’s go through it again um you know your normal the normal swing is a very very good goal swing uh it’s well paced uh you’re you’re staying in Balance um much better than
You were before when we get to the actual aspects of the Swing there’s a couple of points I need to dwell on one is that you have a very good takeaway now in terms of getting to um halfway up the back swing uh you can see that your Club
Shaft is a little bit inside uh but it certainly when it’s parallel with the ground it’s in a very effective position your right elbow is bending in starting to bend in a lot earlier than it was before your your stance is quite well aligned with your target line uh the
Lines on the ground and and the departure angle of the ball uh your head in particular is very still very balanced and and it looks a very good golf swing when we get to the top of the back swing again you can see that the club shaft is now pointing um almost directly
At the Target slightly to the right but certainly very good indeed right elbow is high but it’s not separated too well too much from the body and the right elbow is lower than the left elbow you’ve got that incline there and that’s a sign of a a really solid back span the lower
Body half is is well chanced uh the right knee is coming back but it’s not straightening and the left knee is coming in but it’s not too far uh it’s a very solid back swing position as you come down into the what I would call the 3/4s position which is
Halfway down on the downswing we can see that the club shaft has again turned or returned to parallel with the ground and uh pointing roughly along where the target where the ball is going to go importantly your trailing heel is now starting to move over there’s no rotation there’s no pushing there’s no
Distortion of the right side and coming down into impact is a a particularly good um image again your head is very still going into the point of impact and when you get down to the point of impact you you can see that your head is is not
Pulling away from the ball it’s staying above that and you can also see that your right heel is starting to push over it’s not lifting it’s not rotating as it did before your body is now being involved in the golf swing if I can call it that it’s an extremely solid impact
Position but better than that it actually continues through the point of impact uh for some distance you you can see there that the club shaft Club head rather is going along the line that means that once the ball is hit it’s going to be moving down that path very
Solidly again you’re moving off the right heel you’re not lifting it up you’re allowing the club head to go through to be straight and then the bottom half is rotating up as it will particularly important here also is that your shoulders are again igned with the direction parallel to the direction that
The ball intends to go too many players get their shoulders vastly opened in the belief that that’s part of the golf swing it’s not your shoulders are parallel with where there the ball is intended to go so in effect you’re pushing uh the club head through there uh very very well
Indeed when we come to the end of the Swing uh again it’s a it’s a really solid end of Swing position there’s no rush there’s no hassle um again your right heel comes up pushes over which it should do but you see even at the end of
The Swing when the the the swing is fully completed your right foot is vertical it’s not rotated over like a lot of players do so again my friend a great golf swing um and and you have made a tremendous amount of progress in a very short space
Of time so I wouldn’t use the word slowly uh this is probably the last video that we’ll share from the current studio uh moving to a new studio uh in the next 3 or 4 weeks or so um but I look forward to hearing from you and I
Look forward to watching your progress um as you develop again bye for now
