Right Waggle?

Posted: Sun 15:05, 17 Jun 2012

Dear Dariusz,

after your last critics I worked hard getting into a better adress position Smile

. Today I hit iron 6 160 meter carry on the DR. It feels, as if I am falling right into the ball, hitting the ball from the top with my body and I am taking nice divots 4 cm behind the ball. It feels great!

Please take a look at my new built swing and be hard with critics, because yours do help.

Michael, looks perfect ! Your motion, starting from a proper trigger compression and from the ground up series of movements loks great ! Note how your pelvis area ! Great job !

Dear Darius,

does the trigger compression belong to the waggle? If not, is it more important than the waggle?

The trigger compression is very important to me, for my "look insight". I first started the backswing and the head, moving slightly around, makes me look insight. Now I gave this away to the trigger compression.

If I waggle I still have the feeling of opening the club, which leads me into slices, thats why I still stay away from waggeling with the hands.

What to do?

Thanks

Michael

Michael, the trigger compression is MUCH MORE impoortant than waggling because it is already the part of the motion, not preparation to the motion.
Waggling is just a preparation of the body for the motion. As you can see, the Antithetic Waggle is a small concept of waggling the way that sort of mimicks the trigger. I would not concentration or grooving a waggle that brings poor results.

Thanks!

This are also my thoughts. Now, I want to give me a longer backswing, so I have to give some width to my rear elbow, yust a little, because I think, that my backswing comes flatter and I come less steep into the ball. The rear side contraction is now better, can you compare the plane?

The last swing is with trigger compression (what a grat move!).

Great swing on a good plane. Since it is DTL, you may see on your own eyes, Michael, what does preserving coronal balance mean. Not only feels great but also look great.

Dear Dariusz,

the reason I couldn´t really overlook the difference between waggle and trigger is, that Mr. Hogan never mentioned this tricgger, as far as I know. Why not, because it is so obvious on the vids?

I do not know. Trigger phase was mentioned only by very few -- Penick, Snead, Boros and Middlecoff come to my mind now. Either it was a complete natural thing not worth mentioning (which I can hardly believe since it is so important piece of puzzle) or it was one of Hogan's secrets (such as really diagonal stance or waggling with the body in an antithetic way).

Dear Dariusz,

today I read your opinion about the importance of the eyes. As far as I see, I do not need my rear eye during the golf swing and therefore I can turn the head as far as my glasses go - and further.
How much can I use this ability of being a right eyed lefty? Is a strong lead side and a good sight on the ball a compensation for my weak rear arm and hand?

Dariusz,

I just saw the film about the diagonal stance and as I see, I play with open stance, and hips parallel target line, and with open shoulders due to the grip. ("Five Lessons")

With this stance I still can turn around and get the clubface far behind. But my problems with the woods may also come from this stance, even if I square it up with longer clubs. What can I practice, because I feel that I need this preset torque at adress, but in an opposite way than you say. Which way to go?

Michael,
As far as I remember from my talks to the ophtalmologist and my own conclusions about eyedness:
- there is a small % of people without a dominant eye, similar to some small % of ambidextrous people;
- there are LED people that are RAD ones (the best combination for golf); the article says that LED people should shoot with their left hand and vice versa and it makes sense only in case of activities where target is in front of them;
- one should know one's own dominant eye; the head movement during the takeaway is a great example but also I believe that most proper action having only dominant eye behind the ball at impact - while golf instruction wants us all to have the whole head behind the ball, and later they wonder why people are flippers or why there is lack of spine extension approaching impact.
The crossdominance brings some fair advantage though.

Cheers

The DS is just a concept that occurred to me as the best biokinetically. Nevertheless, it is just a concept -- Trevino's setup was similar to what you describe -- and still he was a great ballstriker. I have my opinion that this kind of setup is not optimal for some reasons (such as Trevino couldn't match to some courses) but play what works until your mind/motion needs to find something better.
