How to rediscover your rhythm

INSTRUCTION FAULT FIXER

-  Gary Alliss

1 There are one or two fundamentals that you can work on that will help to encourage a more rhythmical swing. The key positions are the top of the backswing and the transition. At the top, note how my lead shoulder is over my trail leg. I have allowed my hips to turn about 45 degrees, my weight has shifted from about 50/50 at set-up to approximately three-quarters on the back foot, and I have pivoted around the top of the inside of my right leg. With the transition, I often say it's a case of letting the hips 'settle' back into position. It's the hips that start this smooth transition, allowing the arms to sweep down into the back of the ball.
