FULL BACK, ‘SLOT’ and THROUGH
Key Feel: Drop and Delay into ‘The Slot’
Once you set up (Photo 16), Rotate to the top of the backswing and pause for a couple of seconds (Photo 17). Now start your downswing by rotating your hips with a little weight shift to the front leg, while at the same time dropping your forward arm down until the hands are approximately even with your hips with the end of the extension pointing to where the ball would be (Photo 18). This is referred to as “dropping into the slot” and moves the lower body to a similar balanced position it had at address (compare Photos 16 and 18). After you pause in the slot for a couple of seconds, make your move into the bag (Photo 19).
YOUR GOAL: Feel your ‘HIPS’ ‘drop’ your arms down into ‘THE SLOT’ in a coordinated move without any release of the wrists.
POWER PUNCH
Successfully perform this move and you will delay the release of the wrists until they are ready to be released from the slot.
