Thank you Brian. Such good practical information. I saw a little bit of Harvey Pennick in a couple of those. Club pointed to the target in the backswing and but of the club pointed toward the target in the follow through. Great info for checking my grip and having the butt of the club point back to the left hip. Thank you so much.

@billyt9921 Жыл бұрын
@1DCCX Hmmmmm - not sure about that. The club head swings on an arc into impact and post impact - understanding that concept is essential. The clubhead remains square to this arc. If someone has the misconception that the swing path is linear into impact - they move the club into impact in such a way that rotation of the club face is required into and post impact. Different strokes, different folks. I played from the inside with a 'linear concept' for 20 years. On good days, I could cover some serious yardage, but I never really knew where the ball was going. 2 way miss, and if I missed right, it was off the course. Once I understood the concept that the club moved on an arc - my entire game changed. Still hit it the same distances, but I can all but certain of start lune and curvature. The primary reason being that the club face isn't manipulated into impact to square it up. It remains square to the arc all the way thru.

I went and watched Rory swing down the line and if you watch his clubface relativecto his chest it is pretty much 90 degrees the whole time so I dont I guess understand this idea of club rotation. He does point the club a little right of target through the finish. Ivtendcto think if you have passive hands and thecright grip strength for your own anatomy the club squares itself if the ball placement and stance line up your path.

I always just gripped the Jack Nicklaus way. I think that works and gives a reasonable grip. Tried “weakening my grip, and that was interesting, but not ever as comfortable as a stronger grip. I think a golfer finds a better grip after receiving instruction on how to swing better with the body. But going on and on about the grip seems to be a thing that people that really don’t “get it” need. And they need it, but those that “get it” better will grip well rapidly and naturally. I do not believe that a “grip” lesson is going to make a huge difference except for people that are just not “getting it.”

So true. After you learn how to spin your body down onto the the ball then you can find what grip is most comfortable. If you're new and unsure how to actually swing the club then changing grips won't help you

Fixing a grip and face are important but just a band aid for a chronic slicer. Sure you wont slice if you get your club face square to the bath but if you don’t fix your body /arm sequence you always tend to be steep and over the top, saving the shot with your hands.

@jim60631 Жыл бұрын
You're not wrong but it's a chicken and an egg scenario; 99% of slicers develop a steep OTT move BECAUSE the face is so open. If you fix the face first the path and steepness doesn't go away immediately but the golfer will hit one of the purest pull hooks you will have ever seen. THEN, you can work on their body and path. The reality is if you took a very open clubface slicer and started by fixing the path first they will eventually start to shank it because now the path is good but face is even MORE open than when they were steep/OTT. Most decent coordinated people will find a way to flip it shut versus rotating it and you end up with these flip hookers who come to you for a lesson saying they can't stop hooking it when the root cause is they were open clubface slicers and never learned how to properly use the face.
@kukamaolen3669 Жыл бұрын
@@jim60631 Face sure is a problem solver to many. Most of the slicers still have a bad sequence and that is a number one thing causing problems with an open face. I see it everyday. Path can be fixed artificially so that it looks better in trackman and you are not that steep but if the sequence is not fixed the shots are weak and powerless and you eventually end up to over the top movements again. Those hands have to be taught to work inderpendently from the body and faster than the torso. Not many pros can actually fix the root causes of a slice, that’s why half of the golfers slice year after year.

You can’t fix your path until you fix the face, wrist angles, and forearm rotations for a slicer. Their brain will not allow them to swing to the right with an out of control face.

@@martynzl I agree, just talking about the upper swing grip, he is SO flexible that he creates so much separation of upper & lower body I figured he was able to “straighten it out” due to that. Recently I’ve switched to an underlapped grip strong with a Bryson right hand grip with the arm open & wrist rotated medially. I’ve added so Martin & Seb lower body & started hitting 300+drive immediately! But, my hands got sore so I’m finding a middle ground for comfort. Never too old to learn!

DJ has a strong grip and he says, all he tries to do is 'keep the clubface square to the ball throughout the swing'. Try to that and you end up with this closed feel and move. Malaska figured out his release: He snaps up into left cup aggressively also to offset his strong grip, you can actually see and hear it when you see him swing, if you know what you're looking for.

I'm sure different methods work for different people, but I totally agree. His grip explanation is good but classic and available everywhere His pointing the club at the target at the top of the backswing, would not be a good thought for less flexible players like me, and would almost certainly end up with me going way over the top. I would think this would apply to many many beginners. His manzela move is essentially a shallowing/ arm rotation drill, which might work but would need someone to help you get the feel, and I think there are better drills out there you can do alone His chicken wing drill... I need to try it but I really think you could still chicken wing with that drill I'm sure this man has made oodles of people better golfers, but I don't think this lesson is for me.
