Knee moves along the noodle, not into it.
Set it a fist from your shin, then feel the weight in the instep of your trail foot. Michael’s six iron went 170 yards without swinging full speed.
A good swing can still leak power.
Josh’s lower body was sagging toward the ball in the downswing: steeper shaft, weight on his toes, lost distance. Michael’s fix is a swim noodle and a feel in your knees.
Lead hand only. Stop at the top. Grab it with the trail hand. Hit.
Michael still uses this drill to fix his own across-the-line move. Expect to miss a few early on. That’s part of it.
Across the line at the top? It starts before the top.
To shut early, no forearm rotation, and the club goes around then up. Michael shows the lead hand drill that puts it back on plane. Go slow. Feel it first. #Titleist
Rising up through impact? You're falling back.
Stay low, move forward. That's the entire feel of a downhill lie — and it's the fastest cure for hanging back Michael knows. Find one on the course. Make a few swings. Carry the feeling. #footjoy
The greatest practice tool is already on the course- the downhill lie.
Gravity makes hanging back almost impossible. Stay centered going back, fall forward through impact. Michael transfers downhill feel to a level lie, and hit pure strikes immediately.
Hit it Like Hogan — With This Secret
Open it up. Bring your trail forearm flat to the frame at impact position. Feel how much your body has to rotate to get there. Does rotation = secret? Consistent low point, less curve, more distance.
Hogan's secret — according to Michael Breed — is the trail elbow.
Keep it bent, brush it forward past the trail hip, forearm flat to the strike line at impact. Three consecutive shots on camera. All straight. That's what Hogan was doing that nobody talks about.
