3-F-7-D Swaying Students with Pivot (Swaying) Problems

[Yoda]

Tell the students that any axis tilt is simply the Hip Shift. It is the 'Hula Hula' flexibility of 7-14. In the beginning, if necessary to stop the Swaying (Fourth Snare 3-F-7-D), it's okay to have them maintain their Impact Body location. Tell them to Slide their Hips (and with them, the weight) to Fix (8-2). Then, keeping the Head Stationary -- yes, it is possible especially with these Short Shots -- Leave them there in Basic Motion (12-5-1) and even through Acquired Motion (12-5-2). From there, really focus on the Magic of the Right Forearm and Elbow Action to get the Club Up and Down On Plane.

Sooner or later, of course, they must learn to let the hips simply shift back after Fix to their normal "between the weight shifts" location at Adjusted Address (8-3 and 7-9).

But by now, with their Magical Right Forearms and Elbows working, they will know there is absolutely no reason to Sway. All they will want to do is take the Club Up and Back with their Right Arm and Elbow, Load the Lag, and then Drive it all the way to Both Arms Straight (8-11)!

And then you will utter those famous words of the late famed teacher Harvey Penick:

"I hope that shot made you as happy as it did me!"
