  • so complicated!!

  • @Dreama40.... Complicated? Step 1) Turn the right leg into the ground to firm it up at address; Step 2) Turn the upper body into the brace of the right leg that you have set up at address; Step 3) Send the navel back to the target to reverse the action; Step 4) Smash the heck out of the ball with everything you have at your disposal. This is not The Goldberg Variations I can assure you.

  • Hey mike, great vids. I was wondering if another way to think of the move would be to push your hips and arms as far forward laterally as possible while still keeping your head stable behind the ball? To me that simplifies it but what are your thoughts?

  • @maginick24 That is a good way to feel this. What is staying stable and centered is the shoulder harness around the vertebrae between the shoulder blades. The spine reorientates but the top remains pretty stable. Thew movement is through the middle. The Navel. This puts you where you need to be to move through the ball. It puts you into position to strike the ball.

  • LOL@frame7:50 "Look at that, fuck I wish I could do that".

  • Genius

  • @Dreama40 This is so not complicated. That pre-torque sets you up for using the proper muscles... it practically makes the swing

  • Why does doing this hurt my knee so badly?

  • I hate how this cameraman talks so much. SHUT UP.

  • @jacksonlui omg kill him

  • @timfrost08 . I don't think you need to analyze the takeaway either. The all out bracing against the right leg forces almost all of the rest of the swing to sequence correctly.

    What I find difficult to understand is this idea of pointing the toes up within your shoe so the weight on that foot goes toward the heel. Why do you do this and doesn't it make things a bit unstable?

    Tks!

  • I use this for baseball. Let me say that it provides EFFORTLESS power.

  • this has completely changed my game...."brace" on the right foot and just turn your shoulders and then all i think about is hit the ball on the inside and follow the arc of the club....fantastic...thanks.

  • a strip of duck tape would have made the secret a little bit easier to understand
