Lucas before and after swings

[gatorgolf]

I saw these swings of Lucas Wald on youtube





and i noticed some dramatic differences especially in the way he pivots through the shot and the release and rotation looks much better. The comments below the video mentioned he made the changes working with Kelvin online, does anyone know how long it took to make these changes, and what he was working on before as opposed to what he works on now, and what kind of improvements and differences he's seen in his ballflight? The comments below the first video suggested he was working with someone who was an advocate of "snapping the kinetic chain" which I know Kelvin mentioned he liked for short game shots, but not for full shots where you want length and accuracy.

I think in another thread Kelvin said he was working with Chris Welch.

Lucas is traveling today, but will try to pull something together over the weekend detailing the "transformation".

gator,
These changes took about one year and they are ongoing. I was taught like everyone else; to post left and turn level. I guess kinda like shutting a door. After training for years this way, sliding, stalling and flipping I started doing some study of my own and realized that I wasnt moving like the greats. They seemed to move like a revolving door and I moved like a hinged door with the hinge constantly moving left...How could the door ever be slammed shut? Impossible.
I don't spend much time hitting balls, my focus is primarily on helping people train and transform their movement patterns so they too can obtain some nice results. My own ball flight has changed significantly tho and it feels good to see the body move like some of the legends and todays bombers.

dam that sounds familiar, not that some people have told me to stop the sliding, its just a all too familiar tale.
