【Be Aware, Golf Beginners】Two Points to Review When You are Not Hitting Well
Hello, this is CLARD!
I'm practicing intensively for the match of the president on May 16th(; ・`д・´)
Anyway, it's my first round of this course in Japan, so I want to keep a record and remember it!
I always do it every week, but sometimes I don't know the direction. The same phenomenon occurs even if you look at the people who are practicing around you(;'∀')
At that time,
"Is the swing strange?"
"Should I swing it like this ?!"
"Should I collect it at the top ..."
There are times when I can't get rid of it even if I change the usual swing plane.
And in the end, it sometimes ends up with a shot that doesn't make sense(*´Д`)
Shingo Katayama mentioned the points that should be reviewed before changing the swing under such circumstances! (This time, I practice it with reference to the following video)
As a conclusion,
"The direction of the foot at the time of address and the sense of distance from the ball"
that’s it!
In other words, do not assume that it is a swing mistake when you do not fly well in the direction of the target☝
And this time, his student has improved dramatically!

Reconfirm the Direction of the Foot at the Time of Address
As shown in ① of the top image,
Is the lineup of both feet firmly oriented toward the target?☝
It's unexpectedly crazy to think that golf that is held on the side with respect to the target direction is aimed firmly in parallel.
Shingo Katayama also says that the speed of improvement is fast if there are people who can see this deviation correctly.
In fact, I myself have been steadily corrected by a reliable second-generation teacher(^_-)-☆
How to Keep a Sense of Distance from the Ball
The answer is,
"Measure the sense of distance with the ribs" (; ・`д・´)
What? rib? It will be(;'∀')
So I actually tried it too☟
※The image is shown to the extreme
①Hold it as usual at the height of your face
②There is a point where the left armpit first touches the ribs when lowered from the head.
So the armpit is a stop!
③From the above condition, bend your hips and drop the club to the ground.
This gives you a sense of distance from the ball, and let's make fine adjustments!
I changed it to a driver.
Let's take a look from the side ☟
It feels strange if it is left as it is, so if you fine-tune it, I will get an address like this ☟
My address is that when I make fine adjustments, my hips bend moderately, my knees bend lightly, and my chest stretches a little.
Golf is a sport that does not go up to the level of 10 times if you go 10 times, and sometimes the second time gives better results.
It seems that you need to review your feet once during a slump(^_-)-☆
