Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to show you the overhead view of my golf swing and I want you to kind of see what I call flow lines. If you can see the top line that we've drawn on the ball it is obviously my target line that's where the ball is trying to go. The 2nd line drawn on my shoulders with obviously be more where my shoulders and forearms are going. The 2nd line down from that is the hip line where my hips are going and the bottom line shows me with my tail or my heels are going. So the goal from the down the line of you is to get your flow lines correct we want to make sure that everything is going in that same direction. So if you can see right here I am very square with where I was of a lot of rear view that what we want to see is that those same flow lines your my target line my feet my hips my forearm and my shoulder all parallel left my particular target line.
Now if you can see if you look closely my feet are just a little bit close but everything else is square. So here again while we don't have to be perfect we would like you to be very very organized the closer you come to a perfect the better obviously you're going to be that easy it's going to be easy to have your body going where you want but the whole key to a really hit good golf shot is going to make sure that your target line and all the other pieces of your body are parallel left of one another and that really really helped you to make sure that you have an idea of where you're going. You can see in the right frame of those train tracks obviously the balls on the right we're train to track in the bodies on the left of the train track so the ball is going to go through your pin or your target and the body will be parallel left of that. So put these 2 visuals in your mind remember to get your flow lines correct is very very important you get yourself lined up correctly.
