Great fun. Worked with a high speed camera. Hit rescue three from 220yds. Ball drifted right. On camera one could see that my hips were passive at contact and only moved towards target at the end of the swing.
Its similar to the throwing events (which I have been teaching for ages but I only realized that it is the same principle as in the golf swing). In order to get more power you have to move up from the toes to the knees, hip, abs shoulder and unwind gradually... sounds complex ...Pet Cowan describes it in this video
Putting
Henning noticed that I opened up my shoulder to see the putt instead of staying still and listening the ball drop.
Chipping
After I hit a few chip shots and Henning easily noticed that I loeffeld the ball. As they say chip with dead hands. To check just watch the angle of your hand in the follow through. Back of the hand should be straight and not hinged ( which would show a loeffeln). I was also a bit too quick to play the chip
Bunker play
We worked on bunker play. I have been thinning many bunker shots. Why? My divots were much too shallow, although my point of entry was fine.
So get lower by putting feet deeper in sand.
Ball in front of stance (easiest golf shot because you do not have to hit the ball)
The shot is like a pitch shot with a good hinge
And take a deep divot (especially in my case)
The power you put into it is about 3 times the distance you would want to hit it.
Open the club face according to distance to pin that is close or use a 52 from further on. a great binker shot has a lovely thudding sound.
Great fun... there is so much to learn...
Into the breeze swing with eaze...
Luke Donald swing at 87mph and hits it 250m. All the hard work of his technique training
