"SHAPING YOUR PATH"
Golf Tip by Mark Matos
Director of Instruction
John Jacobs' Golf Schools & Academies
Whittaker Woods Golf Club, New Buffalo, MI
The John Jacob's Golf Schools have always stressed the importance of the impact factors in the golf swing and how they relate to ball flight.
For nearly 40 years this time-honored philosophy in teaching has stood the test of time. Many of the most respected teachers in the game worked for the Jacobs organization at one time or another, and they too have implemented the Jacobs' philosophy into much of what the teach.
There are a countless number of drills that we often recommend to our students, so let me share one with you. Take your normal stance with an 8 iron. The ball should be positioned in the middle of your feet. Bring your feet together and then pull your right foot back and well behind your left. Initially, you'll feel a bit clumsy and out of balance, but you'll quickly adapt. Swing as you normally would and you'll begin to sense more of a turn in your back swing.
The forward swing it's a bit tougher. As your arms work downward, your goal is to make a conscious effort to rotate you right hip forward and towards the ball.
The result won't happen immediately, but you'll gradually feel the correct rotary motion that is inherent in all good golf swings. You'll also start making better contact. This drill forces proper body rotation, while the arms are able to swing freely on an inside to square to inside path…..essentially driven by the rotary motion you've now incorporated into your swing.
Get into the habit of making this drill a ritual in all of you practice sessions. Over time you'll find that the imagery and sensations you have in the drill will begin to transfer into you normal swing. Once accomplished, you'll be well on your way to hitting quality golf shots and seeing lower scores.
