Take away for full swing
|
Setup to the point where the left hand is 1-2 fists past your righ thigh
|
|
5 key points to the take away for full swing
|
1) Chest and shoulders turn while the arms stretch (hands are inactive)
2) The forearms stay close together and the triangle is maintained (neither elbow bends) 3) There should be a sense of width - distance of butt of club from body 4) Lower body - Legs and Hips inactive 5) The spine angel from setup should be maintained which will result in the left shoulder being slightly lower than the right shoulder |
|
2 Checkpoints for the takeaway
|
1) toe of club should be perpendicular to the shoulders - not open or closed
2) clubhead should be slightly outside of the hands - 1 / 1.5 ft off ground |
|
6 key points to Halfway back / Left arm 9:00
|
1) shoulders and chest continue to turn, left forearm rotates and wrists achieve a full "set" or wristcock
2) As the left forearm rotates and the wrists begin to cock the right elbow bends 3) The left shoulder stays below the right shoulder preserving spine angle from setup 4) Wrist set occurs gradually after takeaway, leads to a sense of width being maintained 5) Left arm parallel to the ground (9:00) 6) allow the hips to turn |
|
3 Checkpoints for Halfway back / Left Arm 9:00
|
1) shoulders have a 3/4 turn while maintaining spine angle
2) wrists are fully set 3) hands appx. opposite the middle of the chest |
|
6 parts to the full swing
|
1) Take Away
2) Halfway Back / Left Arm 9:00 3) Top of backswing 4) Impact 5) Halfway past impact / Halfway through 6) Follow-Through |
|
2 key point for Top of Backswing
|
1) arms, shoulders and chest rotate in sync until the left shoulder is over the middle of your stance
2) Spine angle from setup should still be maintained, left shoulder should be lower than right shoulder |
|
4 key points for impact
|
1) majority of weight on left foot by impact
2) right foot has come off the ground as hips have been unwinding, weight has been shifting to the left side 3) both arms are fully extended 4) the hands are even with / slightly ahead of the ball |
|
5 key points for Halfway past Impact / Halfway Through
|
1) as hips unwind weight moves to left heel and outside of left foot
2) Right foot is balanced on the toe 3) hips are almost perpendicular to the target line 4) right shoulder is tilted toward the ball 5) both arms are extended with hands waist high in line with left shoulder |
|
5 key points for Follow Through
|
1) arms continue to stretch and fold upwards
2) right shoulder turns in front of the chin 3) left hand is appx. over the left elbow and back of right hand is perpendicular to the target line 4) shoulders flatten out 5) hands appx. earheight, majority of weight on outside of left foot and heel, right foot balanced on toe |
|
Definition of Chip and Pitch
|
Chip - low trajectory, breif air time, rolls majority of way to the hole, no significant backspin, shorter swing
Pitch - high trajectory, longer air time, little roll, significant backspin, longer swing |
|
What type of grip should be used when chipping?
|
Normal non-putting grip (neutral interlocking grip)
|
|
5 key points for setup of chip
|
1) start with feet together
2) grip down 1 in. from top of grip 3) move the left foot back 1.5 - 2 in. (open stance - toe line runs away from target line) 4) take a medium size step left with left foot and small step to right with right foot (narrow stance) 5) hands slightly forward / in front of the ball |
|
Ball position when chipping
|
ball about 1 fist from body
|
|
key checkpoints for posture of chip
|
flex in knees & bend forward at waist
|
|
4 key points for mechanics of chip swing
|
1) use arms, shoulders, and upperchest to move club back - no active use of wrists or hands
2) keep the club over the target line as long as possible 3) club should clip the grass right behind the ball 4) turn upper chest on follow through - follow through should be longer than the backswing |
|
Square grooves vs. V grooves
|
square grooves create more spin
|
|
yardage difference created by a 3-4 Degree difference
|
10-15 yards
|
|
Graphite vs. Steel
|
Graphite - lightweight, more distance, higher trajectory, less accurate - used in woods and hybrids
|
|
Names of different flexes
|
ladies, senior, regular, stiff, extra stiff
|
|
Faster swing = _______ Shaft
|
faster swing = Stiffer shaft
|
|
What is flex point
|
Flex point - Where the bend in the shaft occurs at
|
|
what does flex point affect
|
trajectory,
Lower flex point = higher trajectory |
|
What does the weight of a club affect
|
trajectory and control
|
|
What is the significance of a 10 gram difference in weight/
|
1/2 in. of flex
|
|
Definition of Torque
|
resistance to twisting
stiffer shaft = less torque |
|
Order of play from tee box and for the rest of hole
|
on the tee - from best to worst score from previous hole
rest of hole - whoever is furthest away plays first (called out of away) |
|
6 lack of knowledge rules
