Well done. A wonderful, clear explanation. This is right on. I practice this way indoors with Garmin r10. I like to keep path 5 degrees or less with face angle a little less in opposite direction. Basically a form of biofeedback. If I were to add one more metric, it would be angle of attack around -2 to -4 degrees with an iron.
Characterise thisnis another talking video. Just like the others.more actual hitting of a ball guys. Its simple. Less talking. Hit about 5 and explain and the manner in which to get to the peak force as hitting a ball
Where have you been? This is an “ah ha” moment for sure. Now the problem is doing it when you’ve never quite done it as you say! Thanks for the information! I will try this tomorrow on the range and hopefully hit it 300+ yards.😂😊
some ppl say the power is generated by pulling the arm down, some say it is from the flipping of the arm release action, some say it’s from pushing up the feet onto the ground. But this is more in line with what we see from all the pro golfers
Hey, do we then basically fall into the left foot and then jump? I have been doing that, but i hear people say to push hard with the RIGHT foot.. so are we supposed to push hard with the right foot in transition, and then push hard with the left foot? Or are we just pushing a bit with the right foot in transition just to recenter and fall toward the left leg? Are the right foot not creating any speed ay all? Is it all the left foot? I am hitting my pw 140, but my 7 6 and 5 iron all goes 160-170 yards.. and i have not gained any distance in 2 years. I have been falling to the left and jumpinh from the left foot, so i am thinking of trying to use my right leg more actively, bit i do not understand how much we actually push or when.
Love it guys. I think an important distinction is “when” to add speed w this feel. Right as momentum is about to force your thumb down (another important part, not you, momentum) you can add speed, just like pushing a kid on a swing to get them higher. Feeling the thumbs go up and down is the hinge then the rehinge is the key to my golf swing. Good stuff guys.
Assuming center strikes Face Angle needs to be 1/2 of club path to hit quality shots. Example a club path of 4 would need a face angle of 2 for a push draw. The more loft the club has the less the difference between face angle and club path matters. It’s why you can hit a bigger hook with a 5 iron than a sand wedge. Basic d plane stuff. If you have a club path of 5 with a face angle of -2 the ball is starting left of target and hooking left of green.
Great video guys trying to fix early extension I was just pushing both the right hip back and then the left hip but this seems a lot easier, in terms of the backswing how should the right leg work? Also at what stages in the swing should this be happening?
When I start turning my leading shoulder during the takeaway, I move forward (head, knee) Not sure what I need to do. Maybe one piece takeaway without move forward? Any suggestion. Thanks.
This is a great movement I discovered on my own and did not pay any attentin to it. However this early presssre in the left front foot does not only cause an inside takeaway it also leads to thrusting pelvis and head closer to the ball during backswing. Great video- again its all about when those movements happen in the swing, rather then restricting it. Cheers
I like this feel but seems like it would be hard to close the club face with this move . Is this only way to close the club face would be rotating hard . Because this move will def leave the club face a little open a little
Be careful! I sent back the item back and have not received a refund (4 weeks later). Horrible customer service. No phone number and no return on messages/emails.
So if I'm understanding this right the hips are flexed at impact and rotating then they don't stop flexing until they naturally extend after impact? Or are you saying that the hip should extend at impact? I'm trying to understand if that impact would technically be early too early
I’ve topped out at 127mph going absolutely all out about 3 years ago but tbh I don’t think I could touch that rn. Was doing a lot of working out then also
I viewed this video yesterday. I went out and did what you instructed about the thumbs. Making great contact like never before. Night and day difference. I do have a question regarding the angle of the bottom of my club. When I put my thumbs down, my hands move a little more away from my body. My arms and club are more in a straight line. And not much angle from arms to club. This tends to have the toe of my club pointing down and the heel up. It is no longer level to the ground. Occasionally the toe catches the ground and turns my club. Is the toe supposed to be pointed down when I have a grip with thumbs down? Or am I pushing my hands too far from my body? Any reply would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
hi but how do you account for all those pics of many great golfers extending fully after impact and then the right forearm rotating over the left ? that is imagine the emblem on the glove on the left hand facing forward at 9 o'clock position but has ;disappeared' under the right hand at 3 o'clock position. cheers
We find in our lessons that controlling the face angle (the face to path metric in Trackman) is easier to do when your focus on upper arm rotation around the body and not forearm rotation. Yes - there are many players historically that did a very strong forearm rotation through impact. But if you look at a player like Max Homa or Xander Schauffele I think you will see how they do what we discuss here.
We have a number of other videos on the channel about ground force. A strong vertical force when applied at the right time is clearly a speed generator.
Great video guys :) When i try this I lose my spine axis resulting in getting closer to the ball and early extension - my feeling get to the right side and push from inside of foot to left and then post up pushing up and back. Seems right but can't change the pattern?
You really have to make sure you use the left glutes as part of the process of applying the force in the pelvis. We have some other videos that discuss this - see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5iki5VrGhXQ.html for details.
I had something that sounds like that, this may help. I always thought the right hip came forward, it's actually the left hip goes back whilst the right hip stays where it is. It just changed my mindset and was revelatory for me. Hope it helps.
@@kmrk4055 thanks for the reply mate :) Yeah, I have noticed that as well by pulling the left hip back the right hip stays tucked under but at some point we should be able to use the right for pushing that should help the left hip move out of the way.
@@AltaViewGolf when you're swinging Nathan do you have any conscious though over or through the swing, I know that I can think about manipulating something moments before the ball, how do I get rid of that?
@@golfgreats5527 I don't think that's what happens because the first thing that happens in the downswing is a lateral move to the front foot and this puts a lot of pressure on the front foot, that lateral move is effectively the push off from the right, again it's a misapprehension of what we think we see as opposed to what is actually happening. Because at that point you can no long push off the right, or there is point in doing so, because most of the weight is now on the left, the push is therefore off the left thrusting the left hip back. It goes something like, back swing, lateral move forward, pressure is now forward on the left foot (and you should really feel that) thrust left hip back whilst rotating. Look at Scheffler, it is not possible to push off the right and have his right foot go behind his left like it does if there were a push off the right, it's about the sequence and we amateurs are almost always wrong about what it is we think we see as opposed to what is really happening. Do this for me. Take your stance, do your back swing move laterally a little ways (say four inches approx) to put a lot of pressure now on that front foot. (That is where the power comes from) If 80-90 per cent of your pressure is now on the front foot as it should be, what is the point of pushing off the right foot? Scheffler's right foot goes behind or in the direction of behind his front foot because of the push being not off the right foot but off his left foot after the lateral shift. Try it. Try pushing off the right and the try moving the right foot forward in front of the left, you're going to stand up. They can only stay in the shot because of the left side push. There is no real push off the right it's one of the many myths I've had get my head around because literally nothing was how I thought it was.
i've been working on that too but i have a strong grip and have to be careful of a pull. it does keep the ball from going right and it's a strong flight. thnx for the help.
Bought this off amazon a while back. It worked very well for like 6 months then no longer worked correctly. Unfortunately just ended up getting another one that my buddy had.
Lot of factors on how much you see the belt buckle turn based upon upper spine mobility, level of power on the shot etc. Didn’t mean to suggest 45 isn’t a reasonably level of where you see the belt buckle.
