One of the reasons Golfers fail to execute a Centered Pivot is because it is far easier to Slide than to Twist. Most Golfers are too lazy to Twist. It takes work.
And so they Slide instead.
Okie - dead right IMO!!
Percy Boomer said something like the "pivot is a turn and then a TWIST"...turn on the backstroke and a twist on the downswing.... there is a reason why the put spikes in the shoes.... when you twist...you need them...'cos we really use planet earth...
In my case the bob and sway is slight. I would not have spotted it if it were not for V1! Any amount of sway moves you further away from the pure gyroscopic model. When I execute zone 1 correctly my right hip moves directly behind me. It feels almost like a horizontal move…the glute moves straight back. Obviously it is a sharp rotation…but the feel is a stark contrast to the sensation I have had for say…22 years! The weight or the pressure moves to my right heel and I sense pressure in my left big toe. The hip bump is more of a reaction…so I am no longer obsessing about axis tilt! I now have a better grasp of cranking the fly wheel in order to spin the gyroscope. The newest sensation is feeling on top of the ball…a good place from which to go down…down!
PS Using standard knee action has helped me tremendously. I lack sufficient flexibility (these days) to maintain a right knee anchor. I think I have Edz to thank for that one! Thank goodness for definable, workable options!
