Not sure if I would agree that these wrist are in extension. There is no angle that would provide evidence for cupping. It’s more radial deviation.

This whole approach is so fantastic. Was swinging today and swinging driver up around 106 to 107 swing speed….have never been there before and it felt effortless again like you said with Jack N…. drive the hips to the target and throw the club from the top so much easier than swinging with the body really excited.

Having had back and spine issues in the past trying the body rotation swing, I am 100% in agreement with Chuck that the hand/wrist release swing is the way to go for a swing that will work for many years!

Great video and analysis. Chuck listening to your insights and explanations have helped me so much with changing to a rotary swing. Not to mention how easy it is on the body. After a round I would be basically useless for the rest of the day but now I can play pain free and in comfortable shoes (no more need for spikes). Cannot thank you enough. Your contributions to golf instruction are invaluable. Thank you so much for a swing I can hopefully make for the rest of my life. 🤞🏼

There are a couple of things that stand out to me watching this video. The width and length of his backswing, and his lower body stability just before impact, at impact and just past impact. Just an awesome looking swing, swinging this fast and being in such control

One thing that resonates with me is how long is right foot stays connected to the ground. I was told to kick off the right foot as soon as possible, similar to how Justin Thomas does it, and I just couldn’t get it. I took a lesson from a local pro and he told me to keep my foot on the ground for as long as I can and just swing the club with my hands and it was the easiest feeling ever

As per Mike Austin, there is no 'holding the lag' and the rotational response of the arms through the hit is intent started right from the top of the swing. I just pummelled 3 woods at the range flying 250 through the air by feeling like I let my hands cross over fluidly and quickly through impact. The exact opposite of what I was coached for years. But the intent must begin from transition otherwise it happens too late to be effective when the clubhead gets to the ball. It feels like I'm beginning the process of flinging the clubhead toward the target through the ball right from transition. In fact, the more a did it and the longer my downswing felt, the straighter and more piercing the flight became.

A catch 22 of modern instruction “the body swing takes timing out and u can ‘rotate’ thru as hard as h want”. This never digested w me bc if u have a “Hovland” body rotational swing it is still timing and dependent on ur range of motion that day. Which is easy if u r pga working out every day and not sitting at ur 9-5 desk job like most of us who having varying ranges of flexibility based on what we did that week / pre round warm up. Ultimately there will always b an element of timing in the swing. If there was no timing then y do body swingers still have big misses like the rest of us (eg Hovland hangs one out to the left bc it doesn’t cut). Will admit the “body” based instruction has merit (eg I think low point control much better if ur body rotation is solid)

@Rotaryswing 10 ай бұрын

Agreed! The reality is that most people will never be able to move their body like Niemann, DJ or Hovland. I used to swing this way when I was in my 20s and hit the ball great and it was simple. Now in my late 40s I wouldn't dream of trying to swing that way. The trick to learning to tame the timing when the hands rotate over like they do in Tiger's, Jacks and Jones' swing is understanding how the wrists move throughout the swing which I'm going to show in the next video using the Hackmotion.

@dgmessenger 10 ай бұрын

Hi Chuck. Thanks for this. Interestingly, I started golf out like this with a massive amount of wrist rotation, swing speed in the 130s. Was told was not the best way and tried to convert to body rotation. And lost so much consistent speed. I'm back to my old ways now! At 57, and was recently clocked at 127 club speed in Quad. Trying to get back to the 130s. 😮 This video was a reminder that I'm doing the right thing.

Look how quiet his legs/flat his feet are at impact - that’s insane for someone who generates that much speed with seemingly such little effort. Almost makes Couples looks like he’s coming out of his shoes (though he’s always said he actually swings pretty hard).

Mickelson also releases hard like this, rather than strictly body rotation--no holding off of the release at all, and he did pretty well.... He also tends to get the club way past parallel on the backswing, like Knapp does. And Daly.

Greaaaat breakdown. I guess my question is, how do you get square at impact? I can hit 9 windows off of the deck with everything up to my 3wood. When i put it up on a tee, my D and 3wood tend to turn right. I've been playing for years and as i've become a better player, my long tee game has become more and more spinny...

I did have 3 birdies. But, I think I hit the ball better than I have for 5 or 6 years! This is "the secret" to the golf swing.

@mattbennett3967 10 ай бұрын

When you start to master the timing of this rotation, does it “feel” slower and more controlled? Or, is it simply matching up the grip, snapping the wrists over hard and fast, and relying on tempo to square the face?

@Rotaryswing 10 ай бұрын

It feels under control but in the sense that you give up control to gain control. It really is happening extremely fast, too fast to control per se. But im covering how to move the hands so that you do have control in the next video

I think this is way faster and easier on body. If you can hang on late release aka full hand release you can get longer shots it does take a considerable amount of timing/practice to get out of not hardly releasing with hands but it works

@markmugerditchian2403 9 ай бұрын

I would prefer you discuss the right wrist, because, with your right (trail) wrist is in complete flexion, the left wrist must be in extension. The right wrist then stays in flexion in the downswing by internally rotating the right wrist, while in complete flexion, as fast as possible from the top of the downswing. It stays that way until the club shaft is parallel to the ground. This keeps your right elbow close to your body and leading until club shaft parallel, where the right wrist then begins to throw the clubhead at the ball for a powerful release, and effortless power has you always talk about. To me, it is more about the right wrist action than the left wrist because the right wrist is doing all the work. Thinking and focusing on the right wrist instead of the left, you get the same results you discuss about the left wrist, but no have intention focused on what is actually creating the power and release, which is the right wrist. Does this make sense?

@Rotaryswing 9 ай бұрын

The right wrist in the case of tiger and other greats is only supplying supplemental speed and feel. The lead side is still doing the bulk of the heavy lifting. You can add more right than they did but it’s not what the goats did in their swings

@markmugerditchian2403 9 ай бұрын

@@Rotaryswing Thanks for clarifying that, it makes sense to me. I am a 66 year old guy and I am finding that focusing on the right wrist action the easiest way for me to achieve some additional speed, but with your idea in your reply, I'll see what I can do to add more of the lead side for even more speed. I have to say, this is the best channel ever and has changed my view on my golf swing which has added so much more confidence on the golf course that I cannot measure it. Golf is fun again after being in the woods for so many years with all of the other instruction ideas that I have tried. Effortless power is your phrase that has changed my golfing experience.

Is that an optical illusion? Look at the clubface at impact, looks like pointing way up and out to the right into the trees. how is that not a high looping slice?

@Rotaryswing 10 ай бұрын

Not an illusion! He hit it off the toe is why the face is open after impact

@Rotaryswing 10 ай бұрын

@qwertyfff not the case. If he hit it with the much of an open face it would have been an 80yd slice. The slightest toe hit will rotate the face open like this with ease. A centimeter off the toe will cause massive deflection. And as someone who played professionally or 8 yrs it’s foolish to think we dont mishit shots. Did you miss tiger’s shank last week. We are human and mishit shots all the time

@jacobr4558 6 ай бұрын

I have a theory that it's because he's left-handed playing right-handed! I think his clubs are very high balanced or even counterbalanced with heavy overall weight. If you look at his positions and the things he does it's not like the typical ways that you guys always recommend getting power. There's not any type of dramatic extension with his hips there's not any type of dramatic vertical force that you can see in all these things that that everyone talks about. I think he is swinging a heavy Club overall what's much more weighted toward the handle and he is just turning and releasing that club the majority of the leverage and the power is coming from his lead side! Can't find anyone to confirm this and I can never find actual information online but that is 100% my theory right now and I'm at a point where I'm getting sick of trying to research this stuff because nobody gives you any real information. Even when I go to look up what's in the bag it doesn't tell me anything specifically about the clubs he has except what model they are which has nothing to do with the way his tweaked them

@jacobr4558 6 ай бұрын

So when you're talking about the arm versus the body release I'm wondering if the modern equipment requires more of a counterbalance because the clubs are so much longer? I honestly can't help but feel like Jake naps clubs must be counterbalanced in some way? The reason I think that is because you can't really release your hands and arms like that if the swing weight is too heavy. Overall weights fine your body can support that but the swing weight itself if you're swinging more hands and arms I don't feel like you could actually catch the club up at a certain swing weight. Now for him obviously his arms are muscular and he could catch up a heavier weight than I could but I'm just saying for the average person they probably need a much lighter swing weight if they're trying to release with their hands and arms correct?
