Three Secrets of A Consistent Golf Stroke
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 Staright 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.
