I can feel your excitement as well as your AHA moment, love it!! What an awesome game! 💪👌👍

Hi Jon! What are the things you would like to improve in your swing? That way I can point you in the proper direction and if you are stumped, I welcome you to send me a clip of your swing from face on and down the line (edit the swing only to a 2 to 3 second clip and no need for slow motion) to [email protected] and I will suggest a good path to follow! 👌👍

Hey Larry! Thank you for the great question!
it is the kinetic chain that pulls the arm-club unit through the ball; I wanted to remind everyone what the body language of this is! To really dig into HOW THE BODY USES THE GROUND TO PULL THE ARM-CLUB UNIT THROUGH FROM THE GROUND UP, see “kinetic chain series” and “kinetic chain facilitation series” (#6 is still one of my all time favourites!

Thanks Shawn
That’s very helpful and I will rereview the Kinetic chain videos again.
You are ALWAYS IMPRESSIVE!!!

You are a 3 handicap Ryan and you got there hitting and hoping??! I think I need to work on my hoping 🙂 Great handicap and good luck getting further – best wishes from the UK, David

I have news for you David! 75% of the tour is like that! 😝😝

LOL, thanks David! Indeed I kind of did…In retrospect, using this new understanding I have gained from the team here, I actually just got very lucky in the sense that I had a higher probability of hitting the shot I wanted because I already had a strong grip and my stock shot was a draw, so I was naturally doing a lot of the fundamentals correctly (without knowing why I found the game easier than a lot of my friends); however, being naive works both ways, and there would be times when I would just completely mess up a shot (hit a block cut out of bounds when wanting to play a draw) and not know why either. Thanks to the team here I now have a game plan…I still hope, but I hope that I follow the plan now instead of hoping my ball will stay in play. I wish you the best as well, such a fun game! Take care.

Exactly! Stay on task in the direction of the flight plan over and over again and like the dart player who focuses only on the bull’s eye for an hour a day for 2 weeks he ends up 15% more accurate in the end. Success becomes inevitable after a while! 👌👍😀

Awesome Ryan! You sound like you are on the right path! 👍👌💪😀

You bet Gary! Set up next to the ball for a practice swing and do a little PMD and let the sole of club scuff the ground in both directions. Then back away and see down the line again and see where the scuff marks are lines up and then when you get back to the ball you are aiming the blur of club either parallel, slightly right or slightly left of the scuff marks depending on how the marks are aimed in relation to the flight plan! All legal and does mot take long!

Hey Frank! See the “driver for accuracy” video and start with that; then see the “long and straight driver series”

We are coming with that! What I do want to tell you is that you want to feel like you are already winning the tug of war and the momentum is in your favour and you have the wind in your sails and you are cruising your way through the task and out into the flight plan. Like if your 150 club is your 8 iron and I ask you to deliver full range of motion and full task to 120 yards; would that not feel like it is a done deal? Like you could do it in your sleep?

Will have to wait on the next part…when I hit my 150 club 120…it goes 120! but it is easy and I could do it all day. The only thing to check is to make sure I’m I am using the full range of motion and fully engaging the legs.

Correct! It should feel easy to deliver for 120 but you get 150 and at way less effort. Full range of motion to gather momentum and momentum to DELIVER YOUR TASK (grass clippings into direction of flight for me) in the direction of flight.

Well that was revelatory…I found that when I ‘won’ the tug of war in the direction I was delivering into my picture, it felt like I was short circuiting my follow through. It was as if I was missing some kind of counter force to brace against the pull and the only thing I could do was short circuit the momentum.

I went back to the video and noticed at about 5:30 mark, you ended up with a nice balanced finish. I had a hard time ‘getting pulled’ into the finish. I felt as if I had to shut it off. Even with the 120 yard momentum feel I did not feel like I ended up in a balanced finish. Is that perhaps a clue about what is zapping my distance?

“Lead hand release in the backswing” to get max gather to achieve effortless slash; see also “turbo charge lead hand release”

Hey Aaron! Great observation and yes I am pumping but NO, I AM NOT THINKING ABOUT IT. We are built to do this in every sport that requires it like skating, skiing, walking, running, golfing, standing on a swing or check out “Kiiking” on youtube.
Great videos in here where we talk about it and or do it naturally:
-turbo charge lead hand release and the turbo charge trail hand release
-pumping up the swing
-pumping up the volume
-kinetic chain facilitation series”
-kettle bell into door frame
-unstoppable momentum series

so never think about the legs; and never try to keep them still; you simply stay with the task of using momentum to deliver your task in the direction you want to start the ball with ease and velocity.

YESS!! BIG ONE!!

I love them both but use the latter one; see “important grip update”

Good stuff Aaron; but the knife the grip should mot alter direction of the grip compared to what you have; if after part 1 you are hitting it in the direction you want to start the ball, then stay with what you have and move on to the next. If you get into a snag, send me a picture of the grip!

Yes, anytime your upper body moves forward, you have to reach back to not miss the ball and add loft; see the first video in the consistency series to get your understanding, then see “important grip update” then we can dive into “tilt mile markers” and “head and hip swivel”
let me know after that!

Please see the “football drill series” which deals exactly with that!

Definitely possible! 👍👌
