PGA Professional Mike Kingsrud talks about the importance of finding the position shared by all great ball strikers and tour pro's - the "slot". Mike uses the Orange Whip Trainer in his lesson to demonstrate how it helps golfers feel and learn this critical position. Mike lives in La Quinta, CA and is a class A PGA Professional that's been teaching for over 20 years and is a heck of a good player.

  • @secretogolf I think the right hand and arm come into play late in the impact zone as you make contact. Hogan did say he wished he had 5 right hands. Try to feel a little play or release through impact, the feeling comes mainly from the right hand. With that said the downswing is still a left side dominant action.

  • Sam Snead had a one plane swing. Mike Kingsrud has a two plane swing. Much different fundamentals are deployed to find the "slot" in thoe mechanics. I don't believe they are the same. I am a Hoganesque one planer and I have used the whip. I have had really good results with this teaching aid.

  • Listen to this guy...he knows the score!

  • Thats a good question. Actually I mainly feel my left arm and shoulder on the downswing. I know the right hand can add power just before impact. This happens naturally. I try to stay away from any conscious right hand or arm feeling. So I would say its about 85% or more just along for the ride. Join our facebook page I give weekly golf tips. Orange Whip Trainer.

    Thanks,

    Mike Kingsrud

  • Great deom on finding the slot.I saw a Sam Snead video where he explained finding the slot very much like you did.One question though.Obviously we are pulling with the left hand and looking for a nice falt left wrist.What is the right hand doing throughout all this,pushing or just along for the ride.I know about hip movement I was just curious about the right hand/arm.I would recomend the Orange Ball Wip to anyone taking up the game or trying to improve.TY

  • Nicee it helped me alot
