Golf Loopy Transition Important Procedures and sequences

Question 1

Transitions components part 1.

Answer 1

1. You must start to shift left before BS is complete. The majority of your weight SB on your left side BEFORE you start to unwind.
2. Longer clubs have the most force pulling you to the right (out of impact position) on your DS.
3. Most important is getting over LEFT hip joint before rotation.
4. Do not quickly thrust to the left by driving your right hip towards the ball, extending early and losng your spine angle. (Do not push off with your right foot)
5. The real driving force you need to feel is the thrust of left leg down into the ground, creating GRF. The only way to effectively do this is to get your left hip in precisely the correct position (REM drive inside of left heel down) while stabilizing it so energy can be transmitted up through the kinetic chain (this avoids injury)
6. REM, a push to left is unstable. You need to pull yourself back to the left.

Question 2

HT do a perfect transition Part 1.

Answer 2

1. The magic move is the “left hip pull” LHP
2. LHP using adductor muscles of left hip (inner thigh that is used to cross your legs.
3. as you LHP, this activated both glutes as you sit or “squat” into your left leg, driving left inside heel into the ground. (Do not forget to pinch and use Glutes to a lesser degree on the squat)
4. ** You should start to pull your weight to the left as soon as you feel fully loaded into your right glutes.
5. When transition is complete you are well into your DS though it won’t feel like it. Your hands and the club will have dropped several inches, but they must remain completely passive until left hip is stabilized.
6. LHP gets you stabilized in perfect position every time. It by passes tons of incorrect movements.

Question 3

HT do a perfect transition part 2.

Answer 3

1. ** LHP: your left hip will work back away from ball as you squat, making space for your hands and arm to swing down. It helps maintain tush line and spine angle throughout swing.
2. ** Be patient at top of BS and “let hands drop”
3. Its not really remaining patient. Its more about letting arms remain passive as you focus on LHP. Stabilize then unwind!
4. [MN: The transition is a natural motion, very much like throwing a baseball. You start the forward throw of a baseball while body is still going backwards, then you “step” forward and stabilize your “left” leg, just like you are doing with the golf swing transition]

Question 4

LHP: Pull, turn and squat (like throwing a baseball)

Answer 4

1. You squat into your left hip. Roll right ankle toward left and at same time squat into left hip. (it will be a down, then up motion to permit push off on GRF and rotate around stabilized left hip on swing)
2. On the squat, left knee will protrude outward and left hip will pull back away from ball. Pull until your hips are square to target line.
3. It is crucial you squat onto the inside of left heel and deep into your glutes. Not over your toes or quadricepts. It is two movements, a pull left followed by a pull back, blended into one fluid motion.
4. Notice how stable your left hip feels. There is no way the golf club is going to pull you off balance from here!
