That’s what I figured. Something to do with my stride / x step, I’m not gliding over the rear foot, more kind of stopping on top of it. I have notes from my last big breakthrough that says;

“You can hop up! And get on rear leg sooner, doesn’t have to be a huge lateral stride - but just make sure you’re moving targetward. Like a step, compress and spring forward off the right leg - up and over the rear leg kicking the can to get on it sooner.

This makes the backswing longer and gets everything forward sooner. “

And also


“Think about left foot pushing targetward off instep over back foot more just gliding over rear foot “

Is this what you mean by inside out?

[Parbequeue]

Is your Center of gravity pretty much your butt/pelvis? If so that would make sense to want to have it ahead of everything during the drive - as in driving your COG targetward.

Not sure you ever make it inside - butt back/left shoulder back/deep. Shoulder needs to swing inside wall, looks like you kind of lean over into the wall. Inside-out can be a straight line.

I guess I don’t understand it fully then. Are you talking inside out of your posture?

See if the drill can clear things up.

That looked good, inside-out backswing. After the power pocket your arm should pound outward into the wall, so the drill kind of falls apart there.

Notice how you had to fix your stance in the second video to give yourself room in the backswing. Your first video your rear foot was too far towards the wall.

Nice! Thanks guys. So, with my body corked up like this, when shifting to the plant leg it *should* be automatic right? I don’t think I’ve been turning back nearly enough to feel this springy-ness.

I’m not sure I understand how to achieve this without leading the backswing with my arm though - at least not without actively corking into the rear hip, which I thought was a big no no. Unless what is meant by ground up is that you just have to shift to the rear side before then using the arm to backswing.

If you just standstill and shift your hips back and forth while keeping the arms loose and limp, your arms will move without you having to do anything. They are just hanging there and following your hips automatically. Now slowly add in more movement by turning the hips/torso slightly. Now the shoulder should kind of dip/fall with the motion. This is hard to explain, I could make a video where I look really dumb doing this later today.

I’ve felt that many times before! particularly when I isolated the lower body but I always thought of that as active hip movement.
Is it that simple?!
