Yeah, I wish I could see this data. Pro is just too pricey in CAD.

I totally disagree with this and find it contradictory to the data I have seen in the Pro version (too expensive for me to own myself). Literally the ONLY way that I can get into proper flexion at impact is by consciously rotating through at impact, like Tiger does. Otherwise I am +15-25 extension at impact.

Thanks Rob, I find the video extremely useful. I'm trying to adopt the second option (less rotation, club head aiming to the sky in P8) as it gives me a much better feeling of a well compressed ball. But I find it quite dificult unless I flare out my left foot totally (in line with target line). It seems connected with a right shoulder full down during the follow through and a restricted finish (S&T style). Don't know what could I do to promote this follow and finish more often..

Very good, very clear explanation, good length of video and very good drills. Similar to other comment I am unable to afford full Pro upgrade, Would be good if you could buy the modules separately. Radial/Ulnar data and Rotation data would be one of the more expensive as its a core upgrade other add on's could be less or more. Allowing the customers to build their own HM suite of products over time.

As always, great video. I'm wondering about the extension motion on the trail *wrist* after impact. I think a complementary training aid to hack motion is the precision impact trainer. It 'holds' the trail wrist in extension right through follow through. I know you're a proponent of the aid. So, is it correct to say that the forearm on the trail arm pronates counter clockwise for a right hander after impact but the trail wrist remains extended? I am a competitive tennis player and that's how a forehand is hit - i.e. counter clockwise pronation of forearm, zero loss in extension of right wrist (for a right hander). I tend to lose the extension of the trail wrist too early and often catch the ball clean without taking a divot. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Good video. I’ve been looking at a lot of golf forearm rotation videos. This a good one

[@VoodooZ]

Shouldn't that be the opposite? palm facing up should be supination and not pronation.

[@carlsongolf]

Yes

[@hackmotion]

You are right. It's fixed now. Sorry for the error.

[@ryyryy7423]

You are sooo off. Its the exact opposite. Pronation and supination. Lost all credability

Chill man. Lost all credibility? Okay sensitive child.
