RotarySwing Community

One of my favorite swings, the great Mickey Wright. Note how well she does the DEAD Drill and Clamshell Drill and post up. Her lower body movement was as good as it gets. One main thing I want you to take away from her swing is how “light” her movement is. It’s fast but never rushed. The number one thing I have observed in students not making progress as fast as they should is not working up a fluid fast pace in their drills and swings. Even when you are just doing drills, try to move lightly on your feet and lower body. Feel how your muscles would feel if you were trying move as quick as possible. Would they feel heavy and tight? That’s what tends to happen when you just do slow mo drills and never pick up the pace by trying to be too perfect with the positions. Many of the positions, especially in the downswing, you are working on happen much easier when the whole chain is moving quickly, so don’t neglect this part of your practice! The movement is MORE important than the positions! What other fundamentals do you see in Mickey’s beautiful motion?
