Rhythm and the lip

Had short session with Henning. We first talked about swing plane where I had the wrong idea of bending forward and doing the ruler exercise. This should be done from the golf posture. My mistake was that on the take away i was too much on the outside and too steep on the top meaning that I would have to cross the plane and thereby having to correct at some point. instead of keeping a simple plane.
We talked about chipping. Two variants. The classical and the more straight chip. The difference being that the classical Mickelson chip has more forward press thus having a lower trejectaory. The Luke Donald type of chip has a higher trejectory. One can also use the ball position more to the front to increase it.
I hit a few pitches with my 52. Henning asked me to hit them with the 58 (up to which ponit I had little confidence). he said two wise things -
Freue dich auf jeden schlaeger and du kannst jetzt jeden schlag
Ich soll nur aufpassen das ich auf the lippe beisse  beim spieln
It clicked on the range today. I noticed that apart from not playing with a glove which felt great, I...
shifted my weight to my left side, rolled on the outside of my left foot and was on the toe of my right foot on the follow through.

Follow through and athletic base

I told Henning that the follow through helps my complete swing. He analysed it and said it was too much over my head.
 The follow through should be more behind
Furthermore my right foot was not completely off the ground. Greg interestingly noted it was as if I am trying to hold back.
My right foot should be basically on the tiptoe at the end of the follow through and my weight should should be on the outside of my left  foot
Then we worked on balance. Henning noted that apart from lifting my  right hip, my weight on my feet was too much on the balls of my feet and I opened my left foot. It shows that I am pivoting on the ball of my left foot, instead of playing against a strong left side. This also explains why I was falling to the side or the front.
I should try to grip the ground with the whole sole of my feet giving the feeling of an athletic base. a five million dollar house on a cheap base is not what we want.

We also talked about balance and using the balancing board to improve it

Swing Plane

Hit a few balls. Hit them mostly thin. Henning took a video and we noticed the following;
My posture improved. I do not have an arched lower back although my shoulders could be a bit more back and my chest out.
I made my old mistake of straightening my right leg on takeaway and bending it on the down swing...this can lead to many inconsistant shots.
Furthermore my take away was very much to the outside...so we got working on my swing plane.
Henning took a ruler and showed me ideal swing plane. Taking the ruler with both hands backwards and then the follow through.One can do it with a towel, club or stick. The toe of the club can look vertical to the sky but it can be too much to the outside or inside.
The swing plane is defined by the shaft angle to the ground.
In the video my takeaway was too much to the outside and on the top of the back swing it was about 20 to 30 degrees to steep. Henning held a ruler on the camera parallel to the shaft and showed the ideal swing plane should be the extension of the line of the ruler.
The three things to work on
Shoulders back and chest out
Ruler exercise
Keep legs as pivot
