Magic Move to Turbocharge Your Clubhead Speed! 

Kind words Richard. Cheers!

Cheers Tom!

Hmm it's hard to answer a feel question. I certainly feel pull in the left side but I do the opposite of actively pulling...I try to relax.

Thanks Eric! Love yours too. You do an amazing job.

Delicious!

I'm so glad to hear that it helped illuminate the idea! I'm enjoying its fruits as well. Namaste!

Have you seen my videos with Walt? He's 72 and routinely driving it over 250. I've taught golfers as old as 91. Even my 82 year old mom has gained 30 yards this year!

It depends on how you get there. It can be very powerful.

That's so awesome Stefan! Keep us updated.

Not if you flap the right wrist freely.

40 mph? Or 4? :) Cheers!

@@Inmotion70 40! Went from 80 to 120 mph. Partly because I didn’t realize how conservative I had been swinging with driver until I started using this radar to check my swing speed. When I tried a little more, I got to 105 but that was it. Your knowledge did the rest. Thank you! 👍😎

@@rcbutler5311 Thats incredible!

YUM!

Neither...although I guess it depends on how you define 'flip'. I do NOT roll the shaft about itself at all during impact. Definitely zero hold....free acceleration WHOOSH!

I meant the woosh of bending the left wrist back after impact. Someone in another meatball video called it feeding yourself. Yes I would love a shallowing video. It’s the holy grail of duffers !

@@louiscaracappa1830 OK sure!

Geek DCT.

Thanks Don! It was an aspect I've been missing for awhile. It was impressive seeing the speed jump...9 consecutive drives over 330+ in the fairway during that session.

Awesome! Keep us updated.

@@Inmotion70 I believe the pizza box works, I was terrible off the tee today and finally on the 16th hole 170 yd par 3, I nailed one put it about 5 feet from the pin and on the last hole i nailed my drive spectacularly long. I am going to stay with this. Going to the range tomorrow,.

Because it's the only way you can radial flex or cock the left wrist in the most powerful way.

That's fantastic! I hope you will reunite with Neil Schon someday.

@@Inmotion70 maybe someday it could happen.

Yes it definitely works in kind with the pivot!

That is so cool. Keep us updated!

I'm glad you left your comfort zone!

Pepperoni, bacon, & mushrooms btw....🤤

Thanks! Yes 180 is just around the corner! It's nice to not hurt. At the beginning even a 30 yard shot off the turf was excruciating. 4 months ago my max was about 102 without the pain absolutely killing me.

Good observation. I don't think about it...bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Awesome WTG Kevin!

Good work Nicholas!

Sweet!

I'm coming out with a tool to help you soon.

Steve Pratt Golf thank you, I was actually doing pretty good last summer using my wrists for first but got lured into trying Moe Norman swing buts to difficult

Thanks Marcus! That's a good topic for a separate video. But in short, you can have both square to square and then the clubhead goes over as the forearms roll into the follow through.

Keep us updated!

Yep.

Yes, exactly

I did a video on the best ways to shallow the downswing. Good choice!

I think spin the meatballs was a great concept but many didn't understand it.

Very cool! How much extra distance?

Steve Pratt Golf - around 20 yds!

The clubface comes in square to the arc like this. I hardly felt any closing as long as I exited left.

@@Inmotion70 Thanks.

Terrific! Way to go Jacob. I like the term Sunny Side Up but you can only hit straight this way with a good handle path and a fairly strong grip. Otherwise you will blow it right.

@@Inmotion70 can you tweak right wrist angles for different trajectories? Or would it be more release timing? Couldn't you also just adjust setup for preferred flights?

@@jacobr4558 Yes you could do either. I think athletes in all sports manipulate spin and flight with their hands however.

And I am going to take this to the range and see if I can regain the distance that I lost. Thanks for the lesson.

Keep an eye out in the next 5 minutes...

I’m a 64 year old cancer survivor It took 50 lbs from me I now weigh 145 soaking wet My daughter says I’m at 0 percent body fat lol I also had right hip replacement surgery that left my right leg a half inch shorter than the left I was finally able to afford a driver fitting from club champion and my wife gave me a gift certificate for my birthday Love her Anyway swing speed can get close to the century mark check with a medicus power meter Drivers an 11 degree tsi2 with a 55 gram oban shaft Club champions track man revealed -1 to -3 degree loft at impact Really working hard to increase swing speed From our senior tees can consistently shoot under par but used to be really long and am try to learn how to recreate this with my new body Thanks for all your videos Your passion is not lost on me You do believe anyone can increase their speed no matter how old and I appreciate your honesty Keep ‘em coming Be Well Larry

That's a 7.5 degree driver launched at 13.3 degrees with a spin rate of 1835. At least that was one of the shots I featured. 1.51 smash. Crazy launch conditions!

@@Inmotion70 1835 with 1.51 it just insane. Love it! I noticed temperatures there are much higher than Los Angeles, is that because it's in a valley of some sort?

@@zero2herogolf Yeah we're a little further from the ocean. It was 82 today.

Cheers!

Which video was that one? Driver seems to be giving me most trouble since I switched to this method a couple months ago.

Great! Cheers Louis. Would a video on shallowing be of help?

Used the move today on the course. No ability to practice but hit some real good shots. Ball flight was lower than usual. Is that correct. Also was missing left not to the right as I expected. Hard to tell is I was doing it right

@@louiscaracappa1830 Hard to give you feedback from what you've told me here. Low with a left miss tells me your pivot is not matching.

Steve Pratt Golf I hear you. I have been told I done rotate enough on backswing

Hey Ray! Thanks for your nice words. Yes the average pro is down about 1 now but it keeps turning upwards. Why? Actually the subject of a video I think! Come say hi sometime - I'm over by the putting green.

Cheers Heather!

Your tennis is showing Donald!

Yes the pizza box works with virtually any method. I do advocate having the face square to the arc through the impact zone. I am actively applying torque with my hands starting from about shoulder high, just after I step down. However, many people feel like its immediately from the top. Your mileage may vary.

Yes I do!

Watch my 3 minute slice cure video!

Great suggestion!

Great! Keep us posted once you get out there.

Yes a very very prominent teacher from Canada I know believes that.

Steve... to support the centrifugal argument, many refer to the Trebuchet... which comes to a forceful stop and thus provides a fulcrum for the centrifugal sling. Overlooked is the fact there is no such stop or fulcrum in a smooth golf swing. Conservation of momentum in the golf swing would result in clubhead and shaft lag throughout whole swing due to inertia, if wrists remained totally 'passive', as in loose hinge joint. Given the considerable inertia to be overcome at maximum lag (as caused by inertia) so that clubhead catches up with correct arm position at impact, the typically avoided question is... where does all that power come from when it clearly can not be a trebuchet type of centrifugal force ? So many teaching pros have so many things right... yet none have got it all together :) And when they figure out WHO they are talking to... Golf would become simple again ?

Steve... I should have added, that the confusion about passive hands probably arises from "hand/wrist force" being applied BEFORE impact, at which point the job is done, and hands and wrists therefore can become passive, for that misleading "No Effort Hit" feel. Some Pros talk about the "Strain" on Wrist and Forearms ''fighting the downward pull o the centrifugal force"... ignoring real cause.

@@mzrb1 And also there is the theory that as the clubhead passes the hands, the wrist force is present but not doing anything...like when you are riding a bike really fast downhill and you are pedaling but not adding to your speed.

Steve. That is true. As said... the job is done by then... and thus feel of no effort hit. And that's where it all gets back to TIMING again... knees, hips, torso, shoulders arms, forearms, wrists and hands... that hellish kinetic chain of progressive acceleration and alignments :) But isn't it weird that all have to work hard, at the right time, except the most important hands and wrists... or so they say ? :)

My launch was too high at 28 degrees...95.5 should have actually yielded 171 carry. A little more forward lean at impact needed.

@@Inmotion70 wow I need to go on a track man and try this out thanks Steve. All the best. Cheers

@@maxmoreno5891 Send me your data!

First I just focused on repeating the movement I showed with the box. Then I started repeating adding a little more speed each shot. That's the fastest I've swung in 18 months since a TFCC tear and distal ulnar break. And no soreness today! I competed at 124/127 par 5 swing typically going 340-360 off the tee.

That’s heavy duty so I assume you did it swinging a club. Long drive obviously. Big numbers.

@@nelsonjames1272 I played a lot of mini tour hoping to get through Q School.

Sadly, it's incredibly far from being long drive and not super elite on the PGA Tour anymore either! Maybe a dozen guys who can get 125 any time they want? Two dozen?

I didn’t catch that you were referring to swing speed the first time around and just noticed the 360 and that you might be competing in an age bracket or something. I always refer to carry numbers. You knock it pretty good though. Good luck on your continuing recovery. I’m just getting over a wrist injury myself. It’s fine when I play but it keeps me up some nights. I got to stop swinging for a stretch but that’s hard to do when you’re me.

You won't need this big of a swing, so no...this is more for increasing your clubhead speed on full swings.

Maybe from anatomical position but is has internally rotated from halfway to the top.

@@Inmotion70 so from halfway into the backswing until the top of the swing? Is that what you mean? Just asking for clarification. Regardless, your videos are great and make more sense than most coaches on RU-vid, so thank you.

@@bitario723 Hey thanks for the kind words. You're most welcome to comment with your background. I believe, yes, from halfway up I do some internal rotation of the right humerus to the top. I do feel like there is also some independent pronation of the right forearm as well.

Actually it may reduce a slice yes.

Steve Pratt Golf we want the whole pizza; not just a slice of it😃🤗

Interesting. Report back after your trip to the range!

@@Inmotion70 My trip to the range turned into a round of golf. Not ideal for trying out new things. But I did fly the green by 20 yards on the first hole and lost a ball! After that I dialed it back and did hit 10 of 13 fairways with a swing that was slower than "cruise" speed. I like this move combined with the footwork and body rotation you teach. It feels very repeatable and natural to me and I think with time there is some good clubhead speed to be had. I just have to keep trying to be a more efficient driver of the ball to get more distance from the speed I have.

@@musicfromrobgraham Wowsers! Way to go Robert!

Cheers!

Pushing how Joe?

Oh I think any big hitter makes this move.

@@Inmotion70 That must be true - when you think about it - how else would they be getting such significant track-man stats with what appears to be a 1/2-to-3/4 backswing? It can't just be 100% brawn/physicality. The mystery for me is how some small stature golfers, such as Hogan, David Duval, or even Joe Durant, were employing this move to generate power from a top of backswing position that was not crossing the line, even with the driver. Perhaps they were only spinning it 45 degrees? But thanks for this. The driver has been the weakest part of my game. I'm always in search of "positive" instruction - which I define as "telling me something TO DO" rather than "to not do." I had trouble with the concept of throwing out and, specifically, throwing out late, out of fear of not squaring the club. I'm hopeful that spinning the pizza box will help me do the throw-out move, at the right time, without fear. Also appreciate you saying this move is not in isolation. My hoped-for side benefit is that this move will help remove my fear of hiting it on the heel - which (in my perception only) has been happening more-than-occasionally when keeping my posture correct in the downswing via your chair drill (confession: I previously had a chronic torso "pull away-from-the-ball" issue in the downswing - and so I had a chronic toe-miss going back decades). I've always known that swinging the club harder/faster will pull the club toward me (closer to me - even when keeping correct posture) and so I could fix the heel miss by just swinging more aggressively. But that didn't always help keep the ball on the course. Your pizza box move combined with the throwing out move will hopefully help me sync up my posture, transition, and "go-left" post-impact goals. I second what someone said earlier: thanks for backing up the advice with your own track-man stats in real time. I confess to not using the numbers very much in practice, because it's just been depressing to see a clubhead speed of 87 mph over and over again. This gives me some hope that the numbers might actually start to go north. I think Wayne Defrancesco was trying to teach me this (for the past 8 years) but with different words. I owe both of you (and many others) a great debt. Wayne is unfairly criticized for being overly analytical. I just find it helpful to get information from many different perspectives, because you never know what is going to click and with whom - witness Brendon Todd coming back from the full-swing yips (and nearly giving up the game). The comeback began after a friend gave him Bradley Hughes' book and then Todd and Hughes began working together.

@@Jackisback31645426 Thanks so much for your kind words and this great post. Cheers!

Jack Gallagher MSE who has studied Ben Hogan over the years describes a similar pizza box role to get the club head square to the ball at impact as well. Christo of MSN named this move 'the Hogan Role' But as you said Hogan backswing was more abbreviated with little or no flying elbow look as Fred Couples does; and so Hogan did the 'pizza Role with his lead hand instead of the trail hand

Moorpark.

Was this video shot in the San Fernando valley, or Moorpark ?

@@rrisky18 Moorpark!

Only reason why I ask in your video you say your in the San Fernando valley, and Moorpark is no where close to the valley. Good video 🏌🏼

@@rrisky18 I may have said Dan was in the SFV but I don't recall every saying I was.

The lateral shift distance would vary by the width of the stance, and for me also the length of the shot I'm going for. If I need a 100 yard sand wedge, I don't need a big backshift...just enough to set the hip and shoulder tilt.

The arms are getting pulled on but not pulling...just throwing out as the body turns. Party on Garth!

@@Inmotion70 Right back at ' ya Steve. Thanks for that clarification.

Sorry it wasn't for you Alan.

But extremely precise; helpful and worth a second watch.

Where are you playing? First I would want to know your spin rate and landing angle, and if it's not possible to get at least 25-30 yards, I would start optimizing my swing and gear for carry.

My spin rate is commonly under 2000 rpm with a landing angle of about 33 degrees.
