Simple is good
That’s the goal to simplify the game. Thanks for the comment. 🙏
Great video Matt. I’ve been struggling with the idea of takeaway and how it should feel.
In one video you’ve sorted the “feels”
Ta!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it 🙏
Hi Matt, I hope you have time to answer this comment.
I discovered your channel as a believer in Malaska methodology and I have been working on a Malaska driven swing for the past 8 months. I'll give you the short and long story.
Short story: my troubles right now are in the consistency of executing the L to L feelings and Malaska move in my real swing. I have found that if I shallow my hands really HARD (put in lots of effort), I can really L through and SMACK the ball using the "throw the trail hand" skill. The QUESTION: why does it feel like I have to put in a LOT of effort to shallow the hands and the club moving out in front of me?
Long story: I understand all the Malaska concepts and nuances, I am just having troubles implementing them all together consistency. I have found I can really shallow my hands and Malaska move/rotate the lead hand when I put in quite a bit of effort and "swing hard". I am wondering why it feels like I need to do this? This is also similar to Jack saying g "releasing the club early"; to release the club early, I have to input a LOT of effort to shallow and Malaska move. This allows all the moving parts of the Malaska swing to tie together and work. I just want to know what your initial thoughts are on this. To me right now, I feel like I can never have a real "easy and free swing", but a consistent fast and powerful swing.
I hope this comment finds you well and I look forward to any further discussion!
Hi Jordan
Thank you for the comment. It’s a tough one as it might be a few variables but a few things that come to mind would be.
Tension: if you have any tension in the hands, wrists and more importantly shoulders will make it very difficult, we do a drill called “Arm Drop” in the M System and this encourages the arms to drop in the downswing allowing gravity to take over. I’ve just posted a short on it funny enough.
Moving up into the ball: what I mean by this is your body moving towards the ball in the downswing whether it be your right shoulder (which is common with the Malaska Move) or the right hip moving up into the ball you’ll find it difficult to have space for the hands and arms to drop into position. A great drill is to drop the right foot back so your toes are in line with the left heel, this will allow room for the hands to drop and shallow into position. The feeling is of keeping the right hip back in the swing.
I hope these help if not please reach out again.
Matt 👍
@mattbakergolf thanks for the reply Matt! Totally understandable with so many possible variables, but the right shoulder mention might be a big factor here. So when doing the Malaska move and swallowing the hands, the right (trail) shoulder should stay back and the ARMS AND HANDS should initiate the move, right? Is that the focus of the arms drop drill to get the hands working more independently of the shoulders, which would then come into the equation at the end vs helping in driving the move?
