“Of what?” you ask.
Be aware and informed as to what ‘The 5 Set-Ups’ are … Posture, Grip, Stance, Ball Location and Alignment’. No golf swing anywhere in the world takes place without all five of these ‘Set-Up’ ingredients. Think about and learn them! Ponder them in your ‘Pre & Post-Shot Routines’.
Your ‘555 Team’ has also isolated ‘The 5 Essential Elements’ … Clubface Aim, Clubhead Path, Clubhead Speed, Sweet Spot and Angle Of Attack’ (AOA). Be aware of these and determine how they must fit into your golf activities. Every swing has these five elements. These are now ten ‘Foundational’ items!
Pay particular attention to your ‘Railway Track Alignment’ … one rail is for your feet while the other is your ‘Target Line’. (where your ‘Zero Side Spin Rate’ ball is going) Always practise with your one or two ‘Ground Sticks’ properly placed. In this manner you will know both your ‘Foot Line and Target Line’. (see ‘The 5 Alignment Axes’ – Ankles, Knees, Hips, Shoulders and Ears’) Remember your primary ‘Active or Swing Axis’ is the ‘Shoulders and not the ‘Hip Axis’. Your ‘Swing Levers’ (‘Lever Triangles’) are controlled by the ‘Shoulder Axis’ and not directly by your ‘Spinal Pivot Engine’. Get this mechanical truth right!
Your ‘Initial Ball Flight Line’ is comprised of ‘Clubface Aim’ (The #1 Tool Alignment) as well as ‘Clubhead Path & Plane’. These deserve your constant attention!
Always assess where your golf tools are aiming and thus moving the ‘Little White Ball’.
Now you know more and are better equipped to identify and feel the pleasures of golf!
