In one’s college days, any movement that involved. A case-study of one of the ‘poor things’. Big up and down element, was compared to ‘bouncing up. And down like a loo seat at a mixed party’.
And that is the farcical level
To which the golf swing has sunk. Current ‘thinkers’ in the game either disregard or actively require. The left side of the body – the left trunk (for the right handed golfer) to drop below the right during the backswing. How does that make sense? If the telegram number list right side must be lower at address (just because the right hand is placed below the left). And once again at impact, what sense does it make to let it rise during the backswing?
So, given that people do make this move
What next? During the downswing. They must first drop the right side (which involves re-positioning 24 actively moving vertebrae!). So that the right arm can become fairly straight at the elbow. Then further raise the left side, so that the bent right wrist can straighten!
Who have lost strength,
Rotary speed, neuro-muscular co-ordination and thus that elusive thing we call ‘timing’ in golf), are unable to bounce up and down so much and so fast. So, after they raise the right side during the backswing, their right side drops down just in attack from within enough to straighten the right arm, but does not allow further left side lift to straighten the right wrist too. Hence all the ‘shrunken’ positions of impact which can be seen in the Diary entry of Day 2 below.
If the left side is unable to ultimately lift to straighten the right wrist, the club is unable to bow out and truly compress the ball by connecting it below its equator.
Their loss of ability to be ‘loo seats’ is ALSO the reason they suffer from so much injury
Dropping the left side down/raising the right side during the backswing, makes the left knee and ankle bend, both of which must straighten up egypt data abruptly as the body tries to rotate during the downswing. Hence back and lower limb – hip, knee, maybe ankle – injury.
At the same time, raising the right side during the backswing allows the right shoulder, elbow, forearm and wrist to get into all sorts of awkward positions. Hence upper-limb injury, of both sides but especially left.
