Increase Your Hand Speed While Shallowing The Club

so we made a video a moment ago, our pros vs. amaz on how to move

your

hand

s faster to start the downhill, get more lag as that happens, lots of comments, lots of questions on how to do it, yeah it won't be hard once. You see how to do it, but many golfers fear that if you do X, it will cause you to lower the

club

. If you lower

your

hand

s, that will cause you to lower the

club

. In today's video we're going to show you how to make your hands move faster, how to make them move faster sooner without tilting the club. working down on all of that will make the stick steeper, yes, and we see this demonstrator a lot, we see well, how shallow the stick is, you have to go this way to steepen the stick you're going to, if you go down, you're going to steep the club, yes, and it looks good on paper, but in reality it doesn't work the way I'm doing because of the torque I'm giving the club right where we, as golfers, have both hands most of the time on the stick and that. it creates a tort like if I held the club right here I'm applying torque to keep this club from falling over mhm I'm holding it here I'm applying torque so when you're a golfer and you're swinging up up you're tightening the club you're responsible for the potatoes there's no magic in this there's no magic in this well, if I held it like that, that would be one thing, but you have two hands on the club and you're putting a little force on the stick so you don't really It works like that just because I take my hands out that doesn't mean I'm going to soak the club, we see golf, to soak it from there.

Actually, I've read it more. A lot of them do it, and only because under my hands I can dip the club and lower my hands as hard as I want, so it really looks good. They say it looks good on paper. It doesn't really work like the best players. the world takes its hands that way and makes it shallow I don't have to go out to shower, in fact I go out most of the time that guy swings overhead if you stand on the lesson tee long enough the guy that put your hands out doesn't bathe golf moe it just doesn't happen right you can't you can't put your hand through it again yeah you can't put your hands over the golf ball and have something useful even if the shallows don't they are.

Well, you can if you have crazy ulnar deviation, but no one is going to hit like Brett, so what's the point of drying your hands on the target line? That's not right, so let's get back to the video discussion. Getting arm

speed

because the club is tilted and no, it doesn't have to be corrected. Poking the club into you may cause this so let me slow it down so Rick you know so I'm at the top of the swing and we have other videos on how to get to the top of this job you need some width in the arm right your chest has to be rotated right shoulders right shoulder behind your hip sorry centered pressure getting closer to 50/50 if you don't do that yeah all bets are off and you start pulling this club because you're out of position , then you could dive into it, but if you're in a good spot right here, if I want to get some arm

speed

. without increasing the tilt, I have to maintain some width in this right arm.

By that you mean this angle is 90 degrees, yes you are widening this angle on the downswing, yes look at this from the roar, you see this from the great players in the world. Don't limit this and we'll move on to our gears video in a minute just to show that they are not the kiss of death if and this is where people get sidetracked when you pull on the arms and pull on them. they in this direction pull down and in because that feels powerful right when I pull down and in and narrow this angle. I can see what that does, it makes this arm or arm struggle just as I pull in and narrow the arm that tips a club.

It's not the fact that I'm pulling down because I could pull down and drive the club over the shallow right, I have control of these golf clubs as long as you put speed into the arms to maintain the width and get the left arm down, away from the right shoulder, to the right, some of these angles we talked about in other videos and as long as you don't go too far here, you can get arm speed without needing to dip the club. Golf, you get it. early you can do it very early so that she is key, you can come out of the top with speed and acceleration in the arm grip club.

I'm whatever, you want to think about it early if you don't have the concept of trying to give up arms. up or be passive, yeah right, so the arm goes up in the backswing, it's easy to see or something like change it and we can put a number on it, if I can address it, and I just turn, that won't get you to the top, Now I can retire. my elbow low, that gives me a little bit of lift, but there has to be some lift off the bars, lift to get to the top, yes, there has to be the opposite of the D lift, lift.

I love to go down, uh, to put my arm back down, yeah. I can't do one and thanks, just leave them up and twist and tilt to get the other one. You already did the move, the guy who leaves his arms up a lot

while

he does it has to have a lot of lateral movements. bend late to fit the club, yes, good, so that it can impact the ball. We've talked to the physiology guys, my guys who work on the body all the time. We talked to other golf instructors. We have seen it for years. gears now golfers don't really have a problem being able to open the rotation, they have a hard time being able to tilt because they do it at the right time, yeah, so if you're trying to get here and rotate, you have to put it as hard as possible.

For most golfers, the major/minor time is very, very hard on the back, very difficult. You're making it harder than necessary. That's right, I can go up to the higher practice by lowering my arms and adding repentance and gradually. add speed and we see McIlroy doing this drill at the range now where he's holding on to the club like this, he's putting as much speed as he can into his arms and he's not doing it and it's widening, it's widening. I'm not going this way, the narrowing would be pronounced. on it I'm putting speed on it and look how much I can bend that club, so I'm rapidly expanding this right arm angle as I get speed on the club.

No, that in no way makes me steep in the club no, I'm in control of that, not exactly, so in answer to all those questions, okay, great, since she showed us in the professionals versus radio amateurs how to do it, Yes, one of the most important is don't try to be. passive and don't try to leave your arms up, yeah you're not going to get early acceleration if you make that acceleration too early on the downswing, take someone like Rory deejay, they're moving away from the ball so they're going further that down, they step back, yes, because that allows them to start using their body to open up as they start down without throwing the club and the grip too far above the target line, so the idea that anything that moving down in the hands causes the club to steepen clearly not true, you can let it go or all the players in the world would be steeper x' on the downswing, it is not like that, we have many swings and gears that show the path of hand down. and in the back you can see the guys, you could say someone like Matt Wolff, who has the hand path out going up his stick, you know, it's like that, his stick starts to get shallow as the hands move back. , that's good, that's when the club leans back behind them. when you're showering you don't go you don't go from here and then you bring your hand forward to make it shallow the stick starts to get shallow as the path of the hand gets further away yeah that's when the stick goes It's shallow, you're in control of that. you're in control of the course, so if you get your hands closer to the golf ball, you'll see that every day that the club loft

increase

s, we see golfers deep into the club coming down, we see golfers deep into the club coming back, so you , golfer, tilting the club from every possible angle, I could back up and dip into it, yeah, get out and steep, that's right, so none of those guarantee you anything, no, they don't, you have to be in charge of the course of the club, yes, so let's look at some. changes over the years, take a look at how this works in action with some good data using 3D motion capture and then we come back at the end to give you an exercise here, you're looking at the three of our pros versus the aEM video on creating more hand speed and doing it sooner just for reference, these guys are among the best when it comes to swinging a golf club.

Collectively, they've won six majors, 37 tour victories, and earned over a hundred million dollars, so what? What you're seeing is from the top of their swings down to impact and the number you're seeing below each player is his right arm. Bend in real time as you move throughout the downswing. Notice how at the top everyone has a right arm. Curve of less than 90 degrees, which is their trailing arm, a little less than 90 degrees, that's something we don't normally see in amateur golfers, they typically have a lot more bend in their right arm which we've seen up to one hundred and thirty degrees in the top. of the swing, so the first step to creating the width that is necessary to create speed is to have 90 degrees or less from your right arm to your trailing arm at the top of the swing.

As we start these guys down you'll see how quickly they start to straighten their arms, the first two do it immediately from the top and the third does it very soon from the top, add about three or four degrees and then start straightening and everyone is straightening my left arm. parallel, so step two is to take the width that you set at the top and start adding it right away like you're seeing these big players do here. This allows you to move the shaft faster and places the club in front of you as you swing toward impact, all of which are characteristics of great swings.

Now you're seeing the same three swings from the same three guys. We're just showing you their lateral shift numbers now from above towards impact, all three guys have moved away. the target on their backswings and all three guys have suffered when they're here at the top, when they start to move down, you're going to notice something that we see in great golf swings and it's something that adds to your ability to create. wider and generate more club head speed. Notice that as you create width with your arms, they move both your upper and lower body in the opposite direction.

This is where most golfers lose speed, they will push their hips forward, but lean their upper body back in the direction they swing the club, killing their width in the process, basically the opposite of what that you're looking at here and that's step three to creating width by moving both your upper and lower body forward as you swing the club. arms and hands away as you are seeing here the window to all this happens from the top towards the left arm parallel on the downswing this combo is how the greats of the game create a quick initial acceleration that can then be converted into greater club head speed down next to the ball here we're still looking at the same three swings now we're just looking at them from the line now we're focusing on his club movements and the handoff which are the green lines here on your screen we talk a lot about how the hands sharply move down to start the downswing that window of movement is from the top to when the hands reach below the shoulder turn, which is what you're seeing here all these guys have a down start and back into your downswing hand pass and then As you continue down to where the hands are just below the shoulder, you can see how vertical this critically important first phase of the hand path is.

This phase is important because it is the phase where axis reduction occurs

while

your hands move. so down, they're lowering the suit and as you can see here, there's a backslide in the path of the hand that makes their suits steep. We see these paths from great players over and over again and great players really are known for having steep suits. Conversely, on the downswing, we see many golfers allow their hands to move toward the golf ball to begin the downswing, and we typically see those same golfers also struggle with steep club chefs, with luckily now you will see how the arms and body create the width.

Along with the path your hands take at the beginning of the downhill, we'll begin to connect the dots for you on how to create early acceleration in your downhill. Now let's look at a great drill to help you make all of this happen, so let's take a look at one of the best players in the world for ourexercise. Here we're going to make the arms and hands move down faster and sharper and create this width in the downswing, so we'll look at Rory's drill, yeah, it's great. drill and there are plenty of videos circulating on Instagram showing and doing it.

I've been teaching a lot because I think it captures a lot of the things that you're trying to do there. Absolutely one of them is because your hands split automatically. it gives you more width. I also like to use a controller for this because there is flex in the shaft, you can really feel it, yeah, so grab it with a shoulder width grip, basically 1 over 1 under, like a normal grip, bring it up and aim to get as much speed as possible by the time your hands reach the front of your leg, yeah, and I want you to put on the brakes, yeah, accelerating, stopping so you learn how to accelerate and decelerate very quickly right now, see what this does with the Chef , your goal is to almost try to break the axle.

You can see what I'm doing to it, my right arms are almost coming out of my right thigh and I'm braking as I do it. You can see I'm sweating a little now that we're talking about doing it. These exercises are slow all the time, this is one that doesn't flow, yeah, so do it a few times and what you can see when I do it, in no way am I doing it, so this gives you the exercise to get speed in your arms without steepening it there is no way for the club to raise it unless I drive it well unless I drive it I must wait and put my arm in internal rotation, let's face it again, yes, now you are not going to lower that club by tilting your shoulders , no I am stretching my right arm and rotating my chest over the ball.

You're not doing this. Yeah, sure, you wouldn't make that thing bounce, yeah, and I could put it down and back too if I wanted to go that direction. Just because I'm going down and backing up doesn't mean I'm soaking it, that's right and just because I know at what point I'm trying to do it, I couldn't do it that way, it just gives you a good feel for what they're trying to do with the driver and Many of you are wondering how you can get more speed in your arms without increasing it. This is an exercise you want to use.

Calm your breathing. Good exercise. Give that girl a chance. I did it. t hit a ball, your driver immediately be aggressive with it do it four or five times hit a ball four or five times hit a ball be aggressive be fast be reckless with it create that width you will see better drives when you do it Hi guys, we hope you have Enjoyed today's video, if you enjoyed it, go ahead and like it.
