Feet Asleep / Awake

Description

To encourage the pupil to develop feel for the correct lower body action during the swing.

Encourage the pupil to make their swing imagining that their feet are asleep and steady during the backswing (1) and the rear foot wakes up in the forward swing (2). This is a particularly useful feeling for pupils who have overacting lower body motion in the backswing and little weight shift in the forward swing.
