What you are about to read... will change your golfing life
forever! What are these three "secrets"? If you knew how would
they effect your game?. These three "secrets" are what the
worlds best players do. Every player MUST know these "secrets"
if they are to have a powerful, repeating golf stroke.
The problem with the majority of golfers is that they don't know
what to do. Oh their friends, well wishers at best, tell them
that they are "bending their left arm", "raising up through the
shot", "coming over the top" and host of other swing faults. But
these are the same people that shoot the same scores you do!
What could they possibly tell you that would improve your game?
The information you are about to receive is not theory or
conjecture but science. Ooooh, you say, this sounds complicated.
Well it isn't, it is simply the laws of force and motion that
govern our entire lives and day to day living. Once you
understand these simply laws your golf game will forever
change...for the better!
Secret #1: A Flat Left Wrist
Because the golf stroke involves a golf club, a left arm, and a
wrist in between, it is called a "lever system". The left wrist
acts as a "hinge pin" much like the old time "flail" used to
beat wheat. This "hinge pin" can rotate, cock or uncock but
NEVER Bends!
Golfers however routinely bend the left wrist causing the
clubhead to reach the ball before the hands do. This causes a
"quitting" motion, adds loft to the clubface, points the face to
the left of target, makes the clubhead swing upward disrupting
the downward motion that ALL good golf shots MUST have. Good
players DELOFT the clubface at Impact. Poor players ADD loft to
the clubface costing them distance, direction, and trajectory.
A 5 iron, for example, has approximately 8 degrees for "forward
lean" when soled properly. At Impact with good players the
"lean" is approximately 15 degrees. This turns the 5 iron into a
4 iron. Poor players reach Impact with a "backward" leaning
clubshaft thereby ADDING loft and turning the 5 iron into a 6-7
iron!
Secret #2: A Straight Plane Line
You only have two choices when it comes to the swing plane, you
are either on or you're off. There is no middle ground!
What exactly is the swing plane? The plane is the angle of the
clubshaft as it sets at address - period! It is NOT Hogans plane
of glass as many would have you to believe. There are only three
planes available;
1. Horizontal - a wall 2. Vertical - the floor 3. Inclined
somewhere in between
As golfers you and I use the Inclined Plane to swing the club
back up and end, down out and forward, up back and in making the
Golf Stroke three dimensional.
The clubshaft, actually the sweetspot of the club, may travel to
any other plane angle during the swing as long as it DOES NOT
cross the base of the plane. Here is a simple way you can know
if you are on plane or not. Whichever end of the club is nearest
to the ground MUST also point at the base of the plane from
horizon to horizon. If neither end is nearer then the clubshaft
MUST be horizontal to the ground and parallel to the base of
plane.
Secret #3: A Lagging Clubhead
Lag by definition means "trailing". When the clubhead passes the
hands coming into Impact there is no "lag". Without "lag" the
golf ball cannot be compressed, we cannot hit downward, and we
have a tremendous power loss. Clubhead lag promotes a steady and
even acceleration giving us a dependable way to control distance.
Look at any picture of your favorite player at Impact. The left
arm and clubshaft are in ONE LINE! Never two lines. This means
that the player is utilizing "lag". When a ball is struck with
"lag" it explodes off the clubface! Without this "lag" the sound
turns into one of mush, a soft Impact instead of a driving
Impact.
----------------------------------------
If you follow this outline, learn these three "Secrets" you will
be hitting the ball with more compression than you ever thought
possible.
For example, a Driver striking a golf ball with a 2 degree
"backward" leaning clubshaft at 100 mph with 9.5 degrees of loft
produces a launch angle of 6.4 degrees and a carry distance of
230 yards.
By changing Impact to a 2 degree forward leaning clubshaft the
player produces a launch angle of 10.4 degrees and a carry of
251 yards. A 21 YARD INCREASE WITHOUT buying a new Driver and
simply having clubhead lag!
YOU can improve your game dramatically by following the steps
outlined above. Become the best player YOU can be and start
winning those 4 way presses! If YOU really want to elevate your
game, hit it farther, straighter, and nearer the hole then
practice what I've shared with you.
