I believe that I found the following in RSG, cut and pasted it, then
was lost in the bowels of the computer. Whoever it was that posted the
following, it works a treat, particularly with the driver.
Longer, but more importantly, straighter.
"The exercise would be to take 5,6 or 7 iron and setup to hit a real
golf
ball.
Keep your grip LIGHT!!! This is important. Take a normal backswing
coiling nicely behind the ball.
Then proceed with your downswing, starting with the uncoiling of the
upper body,
] torso and shoulders.
When you believe that the center of your chest is pointing at the
ball... STOP your forward
motion, or at least attempt to stop it.
If you've still maintained a grip that is not too tight, the clubhead
will LASH through the
ball and in all probability send the ball either straight, or with a
slight draw. If you
are EARLY with your attempt to stop your forward motion, the ball will
be
pull hooked. Repeat the exercise, trying to adjust the point where you
attempt to STOP your forward motion, until you get a straight shot, or
one
with a slight draw. This is only the exercise! You don't take this
exaggerated move to the course.
When you do get to the course, all you have to do is simply remember
that if
you allow your hands to catch up, AND if you keep a grip pressure such
that
you allow your wrists freedom to unhinge ---you will be amazed at the
results. The exercise will have influenced your swing.... There is
nothing
else to think about. Don't be surprised it you start having to back
off a
full club in order to get the distance you desire.... and you will be
straighter than ever before. Good luck.
Incidently, I recommend using a Whippy Tempomaster club to learn proper
grip
pressure, and keeping the hands from making conscious manipulations.
(No, I
am not affilitaed with Tempomaster in any way, nor do I get
kickbacks.)"
David Lavilles critique of Greg's swing is also useful.
Samples of the good content that RSG is capable of.
