Malaska Golf // Eliminating Clubface Rotation - How Your Hands Work

Okay, so what you think is a really strong grip and in

your

fingers you can hardly make it too strong, okay, and then the whole concept here is that we're going to close, which doesn't actually shoot, the club face in relationship to

your

swing arc. it's at a 90 degree angle, then it goes up here and then when it comes down you feel this, you feel where your right hand is, yeah, and then when you hit it, you hit it and your right hand goes over here, so take your hand. off the set stick here this is what your right hand does is go back like this go up here it will start to go down slowly okay you feel like yeah that's where we have to get your right hand now if you go ahead and I let go of your fingers and you let go of your wrist, just go, relax your wrist, there you go, just go with your hand, this is what your swing should feel like, go, feel the pitch, go and now just relax your body as you swing, see what? your

hands

do it, yeah, because it's aiming right at the target, plus, go, go, what your arm isn't doing is it's not doing this, it's not spinning, you're throwing, yeah, there you go, so here we go, put your left hand there, what.

You think it's too strong in your fingers you're going to feel like the face closes back so your right palms are facing the ground or the club face, yeah there you go, whoops, got it, I have it, the right palm faces the ground, the right palm. look down at the ground then you go back there and then you feel like you're pitching there's no spin so hit it pretty hard hook a little bit so what did you do? Turn my

hands

a little. You've been doing it. How long have you been playing since I was six?

Well, we've had a lot of this, yes, and it's gotten pretty good, but here's the problem with all that face

rotation

unless you play every day and hit a lot. of balls you are going to go out and play 10 11 12 holes like a scratch you can play two or three holes like a 12 or 15 you are going to play two or three holes like a 25. yes and you go yes I could get rid of those two or three holes. The times when you are going to hit everyone. You're going to hit a pair that goes like this every time you play.

Good days are when that happens, it hits a tree and falls. in the game and on bad days, if it's out of bounds or in a lake, do it again, so whatever you think is a really strong grip with three, not three or four knuckles, then all you'll feel is that your right hand faces the ground. like the face closes and then opens, closes to open and all you have to do is start doing that and get a feel for exactly how your hands

work

there you go, come down, that's what you're doing, it's Pretty simple, yeah, okay. you played baseball yes, when you throw a ball, would it make any sense to catch a ball? and if I were to throw a ball, would it make any sense for me to take this back and go and twist my wrist like this and then try to spin? my wrist that way, none of you would go, why are you doing so well?

I could ask the same question when you do this, why are you rotating your wrist so much? I learned to compensate well and you learn to maintain the angle with your foot up. all that kind of stuff, so whether you're throwing a basketball, throwing a baseball or hitting a

golf

ball, your right hand

work

s like this, it's a throw, yeah, more than a spin, yeah, you've Learned to play with a weak grip. open the face, take your forehand here and then try to time the turn well, it won't take you long if this hand is fixed so this hand starts to feel where you hit and then throw like this and you have a lot of speed without

rotation

of the face, that's a good combination, okay, hit another one, whatever you think is really hard, you can't make it too hard and when you take the club away, you'll close the face, you'll feel like you close it, name it on the ball and then you open it and so Suddenly the ball starts going straight all the time and you go, I don't even feel like I'm doing anything with my hands, this is where these guys start.

Speak softly with your hands because you don't have to rotate and raise your face. Your hands feel like they aren't doing much. They are still doing a lot. They just don't have to do this. Look, that's done. way to play, but that has made

golf

so difficult for most people to be consistent that all that turning to time it absolutely perfectly and timing all that rotation of the face to hit the ball correctly is actually very difficult, it's because That's what Trevino Watson Nicholas was talking about about all these guys. the face feels like the heels are going back and the heels are going through and what's going to happen the more we play golf now you're going to see less and less of these things why it's hard to time the face and when you're doing this and the face gets like this, What happens while you do this, you are turning the face down, which takes away loft from the club.

Well these guys now with these new balls you want to hit them as high as you can. hit it so the last thing you want to do is make the face spin down because when the face spins down it's delofted in the club it's doing a lot of bad things when you hit it like that and you hit it here. and you go over here where you're stuck, you're using the loft and you're adding loft here so it's easy to hit the ball high, hit it one more time and then we're going to hit a couple of wedges because I want to help you with your wedges that will help your swing. full, strong grip, closed face, re-open, go from shot to open, so it will take you three or four balls to accommodate that grip, it's not too difficult, no, it's day and night, it's very simple.

It will get easier and easier and, especially if you start with your driver at low speed and start to see how easy it is to control the hit in the face, I will have to draw on my hands and gloves every time. Even though I play well, okay, so we think you have to see four knuckles on your left hand, they're on your fingers and then your right hand looks down at the ground, looks down at the ground and then works underneath, so it almost feels like like you're throwing a high shot and you'll see that these are going in a straight line now, yeah, because the face is now not rotating relative to the arc of swing, it's rotating relative to your target line, but it's not rotating any more relative to with your swing arc, so it's much easier to control the face for almost everyone when I make their grip neutral for them, so when the club pulls on your arm, square the face and then we make your right hand do what you're supposed to do suddenly. they start standing here and the ball just goes, I don't care if your back swings right, wrong, all of a sudden the ball starts going straight once again and then we'll get your wedge out and I'll show you how. to make that thing work really hard what you give me uh the strongest grip you ever thought you could really turn that left hand oh there you go, even close your face further back and then open it as you pass, let's exaggerate so much with a single shot to open.

Now I'm going to cut the ground first. It catches the ground first and that makes the face not work very hard, which is neutral. Close your face to open and just do that until you find your feeling. in your hands to open the closure that makes the ball go straight or if you want to curve it a little bit, you find it, but we have decreased the amount of rotation of your face by about 70 to 80 degrees from here to here a lot. which will make playing easier. You have not lost distance; In fact, you might win something.
