all going to try to jump out of my swing and maneuver the shot to the final
resting place of my golf swing, which would be the Target Line. It will happen
with a good golf swing.
I talk about the Popsicle/Cigarette drill, and how it is out of my left corner of
my mouth. It would be aiming at my Sighted Line which is the on the right. If
you wanted to fade the ball, all of this would be reversed.
Now you go with me 1, 2, 3, 4 move the knee, (left) and close the door!Bang.
You have just used the concentric circles, the Hybrid Stance and the Sighted
and Target lines. Cool Huh!
You will find that if you do this correctly the swing is a Push, Push. You will
not be hanging back and pulling a cord and then have to flip your hands. You
will be coming around the corner, your right hip and be getting the club in
front of you and you will be on top of it and will finish with a beautiful Hogan
Finish with the club behind your neck. Take a bow!
What Each Side Of The Hybrid Stance Does
The opening of the left side with the Hybrid Stance helps with accuracy and
power.
We have a finicky left side. We need to find a way to optimize the right hand.
The left steers and right supplies the power. We want to setup to the ball so we
don't hitch hike with our hands but throw a pie in our face.
In the walking drill you start with the right side coming forward and the left
side stays back. Then whe we take the club up to the top we stride out with
our left side all while we are moving in a straight line ahead of us.
This creates concentric circles and a dynamic Hybrid Stance while walking
forward. We want to create these angles in our address position.
The movement of the exchange from the front side to back side in the swing
the arms video proves that we need get the club to the right side properly
without an inappropriate movement of the left side. By just switching hands
we have stopped the path of the left side in front of the body. A ferris wheel
does this and destroys the inside figure 8.
