I saw a video with Bryson Dechambeau talking about end range of motion and it kinda got me interested in the idea.
For Bryson, he specifically discussed his swing governors being the lead elbow and trail elbow. If the lead elbow stays facing the target then in theory, he could rotate his lead forearm as hard as he wants with no fear of the ball going left. Same for trail elbow, if the trail elbow stays pointing down, or at the hip, you can rotate the trail forearm as hard as you want because the forearm can only rotate back to square.
The idea behind end range of motion is to place physical limits to what you can do in the golf swing to minimize variation.
I was thinking, what if end range of motion was applied to your body in general? I played a round today, opening my stance as far left as possible so that when I would swing as far right as possible, a straight shot right would still be in the fairway. Because I was swinging as far right as possible, I know I won't accidentally swing left.
I had one shot that was right and cut. Rest of day I was hitting straight shots (slight draw) pretty much on my swing path.
In reality, I was lining up about 45 degrees left. From that alignment, far right was probably 45 degrees right.
I hit just about every fairway and green. Shot 74...with 1 3-putt from 15 feet.
Not saying this is the way to play, but it was an interesting experiment. Put the body in a position so that you are swinging to an extreme and the "worst" shot is still good.
Isn't this a great game that we can go out there and have such fun experimenting with physics and geometry while having no clue as to what Einstein was talking about??
Nice round playing at the outer limits of skewed body and face alignments!
