If you swing the club in the correct direction at the correct elevation, contact is inevitable. Remember: you don't hit the ball. The club does. You swing the club!

If you taught someone to just swing like you did at the beginning and just turned, swing, with no rotation through, they would be the best ballstriker ever. Humans can create more speed with their shoulders and a bent left arm ( another lever) than they realize. Turning causes inconsistency. ( pros hit 60%of fairways) golf creates back injuries. ASK TIGER. We are meant to swing like the smartest man on earth teaches. I WILL SHARE HIS NAME AFTER I WIN A FEW EVENTS. HIS IQ IS LEGITIMATELY IN THE TOP .01% of the population.

The truth comes out. I’ve played the last couple days after watching your video about club head awareness and I already am more confident. Then I watched this video and my eyes opened even wider. I saw a short video by Bryson the other day and he said exactly the same thing. Pull your right arm down before you turn. The one area I need to work on is right arm “awareness” as I’m a lefty who plays right handed.

Great drill and great principal. Question though.. why did Ben Hogan want 3 right arms if the right arm is not dominant, even a part of the swing? I guess there are all kinds of ways to play this game because many great ball strikers emphasize crushing it with the right arm once club is back down to near parallel. Mike Austin hit his drive over 500 yds (favorable conditions of course) and he emphasized striking with the right side.

This might seem like a weird question but how do you determine the radius of the curve on your device attached to the club? Is it measured from the shoulders or from the armpits to the club face? Is it measured at the height of the club with full extension of the arms or at address? Or is it simply the length of your arms? Just curious if I was to make one myself.

JD, at about the 14 minute mark, I noticed that your right shoulder doesn’t dip during the swing. If you look at the bottom of the picture frame behind you, that shoulder stays very level and it’s the left side of your body that generates momentum by coming up and behind. I like it, thanks!
@JohnDunigan3 ай бұрын
I definitely do not have a lot of right side bend. But there is enough. If the right shoulder is too high, you may have to flip the club just to reach the ball.

There are so few videos demonstrating the left arm swing which is a pity because I have found that it helps me to swing through instead of hitting at. I also find that it encourages me to lead into the swing with my body and prevents me hitting from the top. It's never too late to learn - I am 80 yrs old!

Have you ever had a scenario where this drill helps with irons? I recorded this drill with an iron because it was the only club near me to see what it looks like. I havent been able to cure my steep and over swing in 15 years of trying. Through impact i have some, lets just call them fascinating ways to shallow the club late to save it. With this drill, that dang club actually got under the plane. Obviously its an extreme example and id need to dial it back, but has me thinking i should at least consider the need to "feel" hitting slightly more up on irons. Willing to bet its still a downward AoA, just more shallow. Not getting my hopes up yet as I've found the solution about 1000 different times, but this seems promising!

I am left hand dominate and play golf right handed. This video confirms what has taken me years to figure out on my own. I wasted a lot of years trying to apply instructions from right handed instructors that don't work for me. When I trust my left side I play better golf. Us lefties thank you.

I'm also left handed and swing right. My problem is coming over the top and casting because my trail arm takes over. I think it's a mental thing so I don't overtake my swing with my left side but I'm figuring out that's exactly what I need to do lol

The D Plane, D is for descriptive, is a simple description of the plane formed by the club path and the face. It was a very important understanding for sure. The ball climbs up the D plane then will curve right of left depending upon the face relative to the path.
