Short Game Power Sources - Club Head Proximity to Swing Center to regulate speed.

[@StephaneDroletGolf]

Love the explanation regarding the acceleration by bringing the club closer to you. I could already feel the difference when I will put it in motion. Thanks for the tip.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Dan. This explanation is exactly what I was looking for, when I asked (a couple of months ago, on The Pro owners site) about applying the concept of extending momentum to short game shots.

Thanks Dan, very helpful information.

My pleasure!

Terrific! Most helpful. This area can frequently be most problematic for me!

Good stuff Dan. Gonna give this a spin.

I thought that the bigger the radius, the bigger is the speed. When one is not hinging, won’t the club head is further away from the centre and bigger radius? When one hinge, if the club head travel a longer distance and therefor bigger speed ? Is that the reason why it is further. I don’t understand the concept of having the club closer to the body and then stretch out, do not have a change of the radius of the swing? Would it result in Inconsistency?

The radius must INCREASE to create sufficient acceleration of the clubhead. Therefore it must get closer to the line of gravity before extending to the ball. The more you keep the radius the same from backswing to forward swing, the less acceleration available. Thansk!
