This is sooooooo true. I’m fortunate enough to be able to create a 135-140mph club head, but even half a ball off center face on a Stealth can vary ball speed from 210 down to 180.
Just noticed. This is almost identical to Tiger’s 2000-2003 swing in the backswing except for he goes farther back at the top and his tempo is much smoother. Damn!! This is my fav swing right now
@@straight_ob To increase speed, overspeed training is the most effective way to gain speed & distance. Check out the Speed Toad @thespeedtoad it's the most effective speed training system in golf
@@straight_ob A lot of people have had good/valid results with the Superspeed system. I believe there are quite a few PGA/LIV players who have used this system as well, including some pretty big names. - Someone who has no stake in what you use
Over under is what I call it. I started to do it and dropped to a 2.7 handicap from a 15+. Still going down. It allows a smoother transition and it actually slows down the transition feels like your swinging slower too. But I'm carrying 285 on average now
He missed 12 out of 14 fareways in the final round in his first victory. Now obviously i just mentioned this because i dont think the former bouncer would do that often
Maybe there was an unruly fan trying to enter thru the ropes and it got his mind back into bouncer mode which distracted him away from the fairways haha
@@longdrivebryceyeah buddy! I’m from corona! Had season seats to the ducks about 7 years ago! When I was younger I worked at the hooters right there off Katella that’s no longer there! Love that area!
For sure! My training partner Sam is just 6’ tall but was the second person ever to hit 240 mph ball speed. Goes to show the importance of a well sequenced swing and effective speed training.
this is a neutral grip. also prob worth noting he is above plane / high handle-he gets away with it because of his lead hip movement/clear and perfect spine angle
He’s got one of the strongest grips on tour, especially his right hand. The above plane takeaway helps with speed, just have to make sure to be patient at the top to get it back on/under plane
No.. different understanding gives you different swings. Due to you being the one needing to feel the correct pressures, when your understanding opens up, your swing transforms.
@eborn So Jon Rahm's tight hips are due to his understanding? And this guy and Phil's incredible flexibility are due to their understanding? Some people are naturally more flexible or stronger. That's going to dictate how you swing. Just look at tiger woods swing over the years. He got less flexible and put on more muscle(for vanity reasons sadly as it didn't help his game), and had to change his swing.
@AB-nv7bz hahahhaa.. all the touring professionals have their swings sculptured after years of learning and training. If they knew what you know of, they probably have a different swing. As an ex touring player myself, we work on our limitations, we don't really care much about what we're good at since it always has been like that. However, if we find something new that can help us in a big way, we will always pursue it and try to achieve it. What you are doing is analyzing their swings after the product was made. The importance is to learn the process.
How and when he loads his power accumulators too matters lol. Moves the grip extremely fast from 4.1-5 and then starts hitting the brakes to let club head speed up
Does he have that width and no wrist break til later on his irons too. Because i recall rory does a lot of practice working on setting the club 90 degree at like waist height. This guy does not set club til close to the top Unreal video Thank you
Ya know, I’m not sure with irons, being a professional long driver, I try to stay away from doing any iron videos… don’t feel qualified lol But I would guess it’s similar timing. I do know, everyone sets it at different times, so what’s important is finding what works best for you and your swing
Good question, put simply, the more the back of your lead hand points to the sky and/or the more your trail hand palm points to the sky, the stronger your grip is.
Great question. The ground is the most efficient source of speed in the golf swing. Imagine trying to drive a golf ball while standing on ice skates on ice, it’ll be difficult to swing fast and stable. Properly using the ground to derive energy from (starting with the back side load, then getting into the front side) can help distance and efficiency. I’ll add this to my list of topics to do a future video on!
Imagine trying to hit a golf ball on ice. You’d slip in your downswing because you can use the ground for leverage. The better a golfer uses the ground, the more efficiently they’ll deliver the club
@@longdrivebryce Thanks for that but I am a bit confused as to what you have to do in terms of swing mechanics to achieve this. Obviously it starts from the top of the backswing but what then?
@@DeadlyKiss000try to record your swing from DTL and head on, then compare it to the pros. It’s so complicated to try to explain. Lessons are great, but they’re like $100 an hour.
@@youMatterItDoesGetBetter Well I play off scratch and I think I do it but it's the last piece of the jigsaw for me. I think I achieve it by going to the top of my backswing and then I feel like someone is holding my hands there whilst I fire my hips and get that squat down position. Of course that starts to pull my hands down. That's as far as I have got with it but I don't think that that is the full picture. Not asking for any advice off you so don't worry. I'm quite happy with my swing and wouldn't really change it anyway. Just interested in what people had to say on the subject.
Width and transitioning energy into the front side are two large components of how Jake produces speed, I actually have a full length breakdown of his swing on my channel as well which goes into my detail and more areas in how he generates speed 👍
Everything looked normal until his lag at the top of the backswing was something resembling a long drive player ! No questions where he gets his speed from that position- ready to pounce !
@@longdrivebryceI think he was just addressing the “ton of accuracy claim” lmao. The kid got up and down from everywhere, but he was not accurate off of the tee. Good win regardless.
No doubt a smooth fast swing BUT he’s real handsy, flippy, and I see it gets him in trouble, he should go to a fade for more accuracy and consistency, especially with his irons 😎
It leads to higher hands which he lowers in transition while he also lowers his upper body, sinking into the ground to use the ground for club speed. An under plan takeaway turns into a more rotational move at the top, making it tougher to load into the ground in transition and often times with amateurs leading to an ‘over the top’ move in transition.
@@Toronto_Golfer That's amazing welcome to the greatest sport/game on earth! Little bit of mobility work and speed training, 160-165 is very obtainable!
@@longdrivebryce it definitely puts you in a great position for success but come by my local driving range any day of the week and you'll see plenty of examples of people managing to screw it up. I do appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize how active he was with his lower body. In real time, it looks so smooth and effortless.
Yea, ground reaction forces, harnessing energy from the ground, is how guys swing fast and efficient. Pretend you tried to swing a golf club while standing on ice, you’d swing much slower/slip due to not being able to transfer energy from the ground, through your body, into the club
if Everyone will just pay attention to the high trail hip til the top…..trail hip then leads straight down allowing his lead hip to completely clear as he squats into his finish….While maintaining his Spine Angle ….I teach golf and I Cannot emphasize Enough on Keeping your Body in Top Shape…..if you Want a Great golf Swing it’s a Physical Move that Requires Strength and Stretching to the Max….that’s Why most people can’t understand ……because they’re in Terrible Shape…..their hips won’t move properly ….most Are completely Incapable of Anything remotely resembling a Proper Golf Swing…..actually ,I call it….LAZY🎤
Watch ten guys review his swing, and they’ll give you ten different reasons for the speed. As Tiger Woods once said… stop watching RU-vid and just go hit golf balls
