Late Acceleration: The key to longer Drives.

[@AnthonyJohnson-w1b]

I’ve watched hundreds of KZbin videos on creating speed and I must say that this is probably one of the best I’ve ever seen. I probably have every speed training device on the market but none of them talk about late acceleration and how to create. This is an amazing explanation of how the pros look effortless when they smash the ball. Thanks

You're spitting pure facts

[@StephenR-nf9wb]

Great piece of instruction for the advanced swinger; not so good for the novice or mid-to-high handicapper who may be athletically challenged...IMHO. Really like your stuff. Cheers

Thanks!

What a fantastic explanation, very succinct...Thank you Jonathon

I love this guys instruction style

[@billhrank5327]

You made some very powerful statements clarifying something that has confused me for years. Many instructors keep saying that you must “Stop the hands on the Downswing ” so the club can accelerate and hit the ball with speed, but this wording is Not correct. If I am hearing you correctly you say you must “Stop the Forward Momentum of the hands on the Downswing” and continue the momentum Up and away from the target. This is a Huge difference now properly explained. Continuing, hopefully, I am understanding this correctly you say the hands stop their forward motion {towards the target} and begin to move away from the target due to the rotation of the Left shoulder towards the target then away from the target. There is No Stopping involved as so many other instructors have wrongly stated.

I am glad that helped😊

[@shanebrowder1593]

Great video! Can you do a video (or point me to an existing one) that shows the details of the how the hands move from knuckles toward ground to back of hand to target? I’m losing something in that transition.

Reminds me of a Pete Cowen clinic I saw.

[@pamelarichardson4258]

Is this just with the driver or to apply this swing to woods and irons? Thank you

[@JonathanTaylor63]

All clubs:)

[@King.khan.g892]

Sir Jonathan Taylor I exactly doing this mistake

[@wadesworld6250]

I'm a bit confused by this and your videos on "casting the club" from top with wrist bow. Is it an integration of both with the driver? It seems challenging to do the "bowed cast" from the top while also waiting to add speed at the bottom.

[@JonathanTaylor63]

Don’t wait, add speed throughout your downswing.

[@jgb6802]

It contradicts the AMG early handspeed mantra and data, but makes much more sense.

[@Toogs713]

I don’t think it contradicts at all, he even states at around the 5:30 mark that as far as the club is concerned the hands have almost stopped in reference to the direction towards the target. To me it is an example of how velocity is different from speed… the direction of motion matters and in this case change of direction is key and is how you get to increased acceleration and then force..

[@jgb6802]

@@Toogs713 I think early hand direction is not so simple. First away from target, then down, then towards target with hand speed highest after down.

[@Popspicker]

Is this a feel versus real thing though? as I notice in the real swing slo mo you are not locking out and jarring anything like the demo without the club

[@Vnam72]

Do you have any views on physical capability. I will try this at the range but I had tried absolutely everything and cannot consistently carry it over 200 yards. I'm coming to the conclusion some people (most people) simply can't hit the ball that far. I'm 6ft, 12stone.

[@farindeeba543]

I know 10 stone men who can smash the ball 300 yards. They are athletic but a lot is timing sequencing and speed. Nothing to do with brute strength

[@Vnam72]

@@farindeeba543 I find this hard to believe. Men hit it further than women on average because on average men are bigger and stronger than women. So clearly there is a link between weight/strength and distance. I'm not saying it's impossible but not many men are 10 stone and fewer than that can actually drive a ball 300 yards.

[@farindeeba543]

@@Vnam72 get a few lessons with a pro he’ll show you. Power speed in the swing comes from wrist hinge and lag in the swing. To produce it you are better off not tensing. Powerful legs do help though to drive up into the ball

[@Vnam72]

@@farindeeba543 I've had a few lessons from different pros and none of them have told me to hinge and lag.

[@JonathanTaylor63]

Your physical ability can obviously limit your club head speed but someone of your size should be able to move a ball 200m. It is probably a mobility issue, you are either too stiff or unconsciously blocking movement to get more control.
