A martial arts instructor told us that "the mind and the body are one. Where the mind goes, the body follows". That is it, in a nutshell. I can't channel Jack or Tiger or Rory, by trying to copy their body movement when hitting the golf ball. Now that I am ancient, I have finally learned that. All this instruction just clutters your mind to the point of where the body is totally confused. and disjointed. That is what I see now. Thanks again for seeking, learning and trying to explain the truth of golf.

You are spot on. It's all about our brain's perception of a given task, movement pattern or athletic endeavor. The body knows what to do....we get in it's way! Thanks for sharing your understanding of this. I have always said that the baseball comparison is not fair because as you mention, one ball is coming 90 MPH, the other is on the ground. Our body will figure out how to swing a golf club if we eliminate variables and just stay centered and swing!

I agree 1000%…the mind is our onboard computer that’s controlling it all … yes sir Program the mind with the correct information and the function is automatic 👍 So what your saying is it to the “trained” swinger of the club or to the starter of there golfing journey to just …feel the feel and let it be real I like the feel

Hey Steve, I never bought into the saying that feel wasn’t real. If it ain’t real then what the hell is? Golf instruction that never works over time? Now that is real and they push the feelings you have can’t be trusted. Hogwash! My haven’t we been fools? Thanks for your comment I do appreciate it my friend.

Bill Love your passion and understanding of simple concepts👍 Inside today at Winder golf shop because of rain with a new student… After 3 shots into net…I could see he had good hand eye and body sequencing The rest of the hour we talked about how our body moves by commands from command central(our brain) either consciously or unconsciously… Conscious =left analytical side of our brain Unconscious = right side (tying our shoes typing,shaving We want that automatic natural use of our body in golf I gave home 3 simple commands to occupy his left brain in the golf swing: GATHER= backswing storing energy Load= you now have this tightly coiled spring-you must as Joe said prepare your core to release this stored up energy Explode= this directing your pencil energy to ward the target The ball just gets in the way Feeling of effortless power-not powerful effort Bask in that wonderful feeling Shane played 9 holes during a break in the weather with wonderful report of shooting 39 for 9 holes!!! Making Shane happy makes me happy with this awakening feeling😊

Not voo doo at all! This is real gold. The "switch" is preceded by the knowledge, vision of what you are trying to do. Knowing what you need to do at the switch is key and something that can be worked on to improve the result.

Develop the mechanics with your feel Pat. Everyone can tell you why they hit a bad shot but no one can tell you what they did to hit a good shot. Feel the good shot and what you did to produce it, that’s the key, then repeat that feeling.

Hi Bill . Can you explain what the right femur should be doing at address and during the back swing. I hope this doesnt sound inane of a question. Have a good day.
@Wooduck
23 күн бұрын
@@sheldonsmith4089 no sir Sheldon it’s a question more people should be considering since it is a big part of the brake system which is needed for a consistent repetitive motion. The right femur needs to be rotated internally in order to allow the pelvis to stop against the resistance that the femur produces. If the pelvis is allowed to continue to move with the rotation of the core the range of motion that is produced is overkill. So we are looking one to reduce the unnecessary range of motion on each side of us. Why? Because the more range you use the harder it is to control maintain for a consistent repeatable motion. This is in my opinion WHY most amateur players are good one day and have a string of not so good of days or inconsistency’s. You scratch your head and say or think you’re doing the same thing the day you played well. That may be true but what people don’t realize is the one day they played good they accidentally managed the range of motion better than the other days. Balance, timing, tempo and rhythm are without a doubt harder to manage than the actual motion which is needed to play golf consistently every day. So to answer your question make sure your trail femur is internally rotated to reduce the end of range motion which is not needed. How do you do that? Best way to start is At address turn the trail heel slightly away from the target. This will internally rotate the trail femur and just leave it there during the entire motion. The same holds true on the target side femur. You must have a wall or a brake to hit against and when the pelvis runs into the lead internally rotated femur there’s your brake. At that point when you hit the brake just let the arms go and you will feel the sling shot of the club head to the ball, no more core rotation needed at that point but the momentum will naturally pull your core and shoulders to the finish. What I just told you is exactly how I would teach anyone who wants to improve nothing more and nothing less. Hope that helped, and good question. The brakes are what has been missing in all the instruction we have been bombarded with over the years.

Seriously though, if we did learn to walk when we were three (instead of say, one)and the adults would "teach" us with words, you would see a lot of people with crazy gaits because of what they learned instead of the concept of walking.
