I'm a senior golfer trying to change old habits and make Tom's system work for me. Would appreciate any advice from seniors having success from Tom' teaching. For them and Tom, I have this initial question about lead leg and knee movement for proper weight use. My habit is to turn the right knee in toward the left on the backswing and then, on the downswing, shift the weight and bring the left knee against the right. In Tom's good videos I think I see him bend the lead knee forward to maintain the weight on that leg and to swing mainly on or around that leg, without bringing the left knee to touch the right leg on the finish. Am I seeing and understanding this correct?
Thanks for any comment and advice.
I am 62, next week 63 playing since 2004 as a holidaygolfer. I had a lot of trouble and pain with my right knee, left elbow and my back caused by the wrong system.
The pros earned a lot of money, but less than the doctors.
Last year I have seen a video of Tom on youtube and this year I started my membership. I have seen all videos and spent a lot of time learning the new system with daily practice in the Golfcage in my garden.
I have learned things I have never heard before.
The most important thing is, that I have no pain at all since I use this system.
Last week I started to play real courses. I never hit better and longer ( best drives 240 yards). Fairways were wet. so it was a stupid to hit dirty divits.
Of course I lost my concentration sometimes and things went wrong. There is still much work to do, but the system works even for seniors.
