Great Video, Videos like this are most appreciative. I am right handed, (throw and write right handed) I have a rib injury that is keeping me from playing and a left handed friend let me try his club and it felt more natural than my regular right handed all though balls went all over. Do you think I will be able to do ok left handed with practive even though I am right handed? I love golf so very much, I miss golf so much it is crazy.

@hennahairdye Of course you will be able to do OK...:)

In tennis, you practice and become proficient with both backhand and forehands; this is simply a backhand to develop! I would get my DVD series and get cracking; in the meantime, see my "#1 most popular teacher feel and let the hammer through" video

All the best! Shawn

Hi Shawn, I'm a big fan. I have a question, you can swing both Left and Right, just like myself. But which one is better, that you would like to stick to in the long run?

[clemshaw]

@foojuklin Both!!! I will always do both and I am just as comfortable with each one; I could not imagine going to one side now; for me, this would be crazy! I think we are due for another right and left video here; give me a few days and I will get another out to answer the questions below as well;

By the way that's impressive you swinging Left and Right...

[clemshaw]

Thanks jkiene and sorry I missed this comment!

I have since progressed into an "arm club" unit where the grip is so well put together that it forms a complete unit with the arms and the club and the body gets out of the way of this unit; see "golf pro lesson timing and tempo update" as well as the "golf pro lesson the insanity of golf"

i can play a flop shot left handed with a right handed club - it adds way more loft so i been thinking of not getting a lobwedge ( using a 56 degree wedge with almost no bounce atm), instead using this for extreme short (3 yards) flopshots. This would enable me of adding a left handed seveniron(comes in handy with shot shaping in bad lies) to the bag still having a free slot for either 48 inch driver, strong sandwedge, 2 iron or hybrid, maaaan i cant make a decision here.

opinions?

I have a question about strength and how it relates to a left or right handed golf swing. Im a right dominant person, but have always played golf, hockey, and batted left because it felt most natural. however, other coordinated left handed movements like throwing feels completely foreign and the general strength of my left side feels a lot weaker than my right side. Does a left handed golfer not get the most out of his swing if he's generally weaker from his left side?

[DaHairlessApe]

Your boxing analogy and explanation of the left hand grip/dominant right (backhanding a punching bag) vs. right hand grip/dominant left (striking a hammer), really helped my golf swing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and an excellent video!

[sandwah9]

the golf swing is a circle, and by definition, in a circle the greatest amount of force you can create is centrifugal in nature. using the radius point as the energy source is the only way to create a centrifugal motion. therefore, the only way to create centrifugal force is to use the lead arm as the principal motor to create the swing. the only way to create power in the left arm is via the left arm only or the entire left side... and the right side only supports.

@clemshaw I will do just that, Thanks! That is awsome information! My backhand in tennis was better than my forehand! It actually feels better to swing lefty!
