Fixing Open Club Face for Straighter Shots
Struggling with closing an open club face is a common issue that amateur golfers face. From an open club face position, you'll have to time closing the club face rapidly, or swinging left to accommodate the club face relationship. This concept video will help you clarify what you need to do to balance an overly open club face during the start of the release.

Connecting The Bracing To The Release
Переглядів 1,5 тис.19 годин тому
The release begins at delivery position, and what you do with your body and your arms have to compliment each other in order for your swing to work. Often times, if you are struggling with what the arms do, you can work on the body. If you are struggling with the body, you can work on the arms. By going between these two areas of control, you can understand, and train, the movement even better....
Investigating Arm Bracing
Переглядів 58614 днів тому
This breakdown can be very useful for players relying too much on the smaller muscles of the arms at the bottom of the swing. Golfers in this category will usually struggle with consistency and power, while displaying inefficiencies such as a shorter "flat-spot", a stall of the body, and a lack of width through impact. If you struggle with one or more of these faults, this brief investigation i...
9 To 3 - Training Solid Contact and The Release
Переглядів 1,2 тис.21 день тому
This classic drill works on the swing from waist height to waist height, or as some call it, 9 to 3. This drill works on the timing when the arms are doing the majority of the work as they transfer speed from the body to the clubhead. This drill is very versatile, and can be used to work on a lot of things around impact. The most common ways to use it is to work on the amount of rotation/side b...

    Little off subject but I would like to get your advice about ulnar deviation with the right wrist.At what point in the down swing does the right wrist release into ulnar ? Thanks

  • @markg3497
    @markg3497 7 днів тому

    Think this is something I need to work on. I don't feel any bracing with my lower body. I've been working on clearing my left hip but really don't feel bracing or extension of the arms. thanks for the video.

    Not sure what the conclusion is here? If you purely push the handle forward it logically doesn’t seem to open the face.

    Recently I bought a new driver. A TM Stealth 2. I had always an open clubface at the ball and I changed all the adjustments you can make with the shaft position. And I tried really everything from grip to positions in my swing to get the ballflight straight. With no success. And today, on the range, I remembered a quote from somebody on the internet that you cannot release the club too early. So instead of trying to roll my hands thru the impact zone to close the clubface in time or slow down my lower body with no positive effect, I rolled/released my hands as early as possible in the downswing. This is most probably just a feel but it works. From a push/push-slice to a very long and powerful and perfectly straight ballflight because of Jack's advice. Thank you Jack! My feel hitting those terrible high pushes was always that my hips are too fast opening and the arms are left behind but this was also not true. Now I can turn as fast as I want because I release as soon as possible.

    You need to explore face orientation much more . Such factors as 1 . Grip strength 2. Forearm pronation / supination 3. Wrist extension / flexion 4. Rib cage rotation are all factors in the orientation of the clubface at various stages of the swing .

    This is a really good video explaining the club face orientation and rotation. It's worthy of more likes! I struggle with tension in my arms trying to swing too hard and don't close the face to get it square at impact. Thanks for the video.

    His impact and follow through is just really top notch. Oddly the backswing is a little wild with some unnecessary routing and across. A little ot on the way down. Looks too outstretched with his arms at address. Hollywood scale.....one of the best!!

  • @atfinthehouse8631
    @atfinthehouse8631 Місяць тому

    Look at his alignment. Very closed stance. And the aim of his swing and contact point on the club head is way toward the heel of the driver. Unusual swing and arc of swing to club head to ball impact point.

  • @johnhue8933
    @johnhue8933 Місяць тому

    Mark Wahlberg is a strong guy who has done a lot of upper body training so will tend to go to that as a power source. From what I have seen these strong types who fire their muscles fast have the most difficulty in being able to change their patterns especially their leg action as the upper body wants to take over..

  • @ruff8921

    Wow, great lesson!! Not many teaching pros can teach like this. Sub'd! Can I ask you a question please? I'm practicing what I think is 'an end to end rotational swing' with a minimum arm movement. But, with this approach, my swing plane is too horizontal. Not vertical enough compared to say 'hit it like a hammer' approach? Can you please share an advice how to work around this? Or, a flatter swing plane isn't a problem?

    Is this lead arm turning motion in the forearm, or the whole arm? So in transition, say the lead elbow points to the target line. Do we try to pronate the wrist withouth moving the elbow, or rotate the entire arm so the elbow points "above" the target line?

    • @guillaumecouture8729
      @guillaumecouture8729 2 місяці тому

      It's the forearm, but the elbow will supinate to some degree too.

    When I hit balls the other day I found that if I used my legs according to master Stuart. If my left hip didn't move forward at all. It felt like there was a slight delay with my upper body and arms as the left hip went back and away from the target. Also it seemed like if my left hip would go towards the target when I started my downswing. I would tend to pull the ball. Does this make sense

    thx for the video mate! question: does rate of closure change with longer clubs or is it the same thru the bag? i noticed that I draw all my clubs up to 5 iron, but 4 hybrid thru driver I fade everything. why is that what do you think? thank you!

  • @clarkbrechin7970
    @clarkbrechin7970 2 місяці тому

    Even as a +2 amateur, I find achieving the correct delivery position at P6 very challenging. Hands are always too wide at this point. When I preset to the correct delivery position, I always feel like I'm going to hit it out to the right unless I really work my lower body really hard to 'square it up'

      Haha that was my first reaction too. But actually if you think about it, hes saying applying force to the direction of the butt end of the club throughout the swing. Rather than flipping the clubhead at the ball. Its a feel thats probs worth a try
