Lynn Blake, Rhythm, and the TALY MIND Set

[cockywatchman1976]

Recently got a taly. Its a really good aid. One of the best out there. Simple-can strap on for a bit, then take off. Use on all clubs, short and long game. GREAT STUFF TALY

Yes you see a wide variety of swing styles on the various tours, but if you ever take the time to step through them frame by frame you will see they all have a common impact position with regard to the hands. Perry, Gulbis, JM Singh, Furyk, et al have the flat left wrist with the hands leading at impact and the body rotating open letting the hands and arms swing freely (without the wrist breaking down). This device is a great tool for helping you get a mental image of how that looks and feels.

Great points @ichihentai. Thanks for posting.

I have the Taly and its great for short game. It took me a while to figure out its benefits for the long game until I found out that the wrist holds firm but has to rotate. Vertical uncocking and rotation of the left wrist is OK, but no horozontal flipping motion allowed. You won't hit the red ball if you rotate wrist after full arm extension.

Thanks @dschultz6072.

Also some of the top PGA Tour pros in the world so we're pretty happy that they find it useful.

Lynn/Taly - wouldn't you actually say, "You have to swing the arms?" Of course, if the goal is to swing the hands, then the only way to do it is to swing the arms. Right?

1) Do you intentionaly hold the left wrist in a 'locked' or firm position to keep the left hand from breaking forward/ahead or are your wrists relaxed and not firm?

It looks like you're holding the left wrist firm and solidly straight in that position AND then moving that 'locked' position thru the ball? Great video !!

Thanks for posting @e003579.

You mentioned that in order to swing the hands, you must swing the arms. And please note that I don't speak for Lynn (visit LynnBlakeGolf) and that we are not golf instructors. We are engineers.

Yes, one way to swing or move the hands would be to swing or move the arms. But you could also hold your arms stationary relative to your chest and simply turn your chest and body.

Q1) There are different ways to prevent left wrist breakdown. I like a firm left wrist

Baloney - it doesn't matter what you do - look at all the crazy swings winning majors on the European & PGA tours.

Folks your arms work just fine without this nonsense - the secret is using the BIG muscles & a proper weight transfer through hip rotation.

A FREE and better device is to just grab (grip) your Driver on the hosel (so that the handle points at the ground) and keeping your wrists cocked swing the club so that the shaft lags behind never passing the hands until WAY past the ball.

Thanks for posting @nsaminder.

I can sort of see what you are saying but you are basically suggesting one of the simplified moves we've posted and simply holding your hinge.

Also, your method will be more difficult because it takes even longer for your clubhead to get to the ball because you have hinged.

If your clubhead is further back, it won't be as repeatable and probably not as much power transferred.

Post a video when you get a chance as there are many ways to hit a ball.

I really like the left arm, hand,shaft and face moving together.

Thanks for posting @MikePedersenGolfTips.

I like it too.

Lynn is definitely one of the top instructors in the world and has a real knack for explaining the golf swing.
