BREAKPOINT 6: FOLLOW THROUGH

Beau Rials, Mike Bennett (Medicus Advisor, PGA Tour Instructor), Bob Koch (Inventor of Medicus Dual-Hinge Driver) giving the make or break points to golf swing. The ways that you can use your Medicus to improve your golf game.

With the hands in front of the body, the club shaft becomes parallel to the target line with the toe of the club skyward. The wrists continue to remain cocked forming a 90-degree angle with the club shaft and the left forearm.

COMMON FAULTS:

A. Weight has swayed too far towards target. Trying to swing too far from the inside (shaft on plane).
B. Wrists have unhinged prematurely, forcing the club shaft outside target line.

As the hands, shoulders, hips and body together move into impact, the club is released with the hands ahead of the ball and the clubface square. Hips will be approximately 30-45 degrees open to the target line and the shoulders about 5 degrees open. The left leg should be slightly flexed but in the process of straightening. Because of the weight shift, the right heel will be pulled slightly off the ground. The head remains behind the ball, right arm is extending while the wrists are uncocking.

COMMON FAULTS:

A. Upper body has fallen away from target, no weight shift to the left and no body turn (reverse pivot).
B. Head is in front of the ball. Upper body slides through toward target.

Weight has shifted over to the left side with the hips rotated 80-90 degrees open to the target line. Club shaft is parallel to the target line and parallel to the ground with the toe skyward again. Head remains down and behind the ball with both arms fully extended. Left leg should be straight at this point to allow the hips to continue turning.

COMMON FAULTS:

A. Both arms are fully extended (right arm is too far away from the body).
B. Head has moved from the impact position. Over rotation of the hands, club shaft is pointing left of the target line.
C. Left arm is fully extended.
D. Continuation of B above.
E. No rotation of the hands, club shaft is facing well right of the target.

Weight is 90 percent on the left side with the left leg straight. Hips should be rotated to the left so that the belt buckle is pointing to and slightly left of the target. Right knee aims at the target and finishes even with the left. From the knees up there should be no gap between the legs. Arms are relaxed with the club shaft behind the back of the head and both wrists recocked under the shaft. Upper body has maintained its original bend or tilt.

COMMON FAULTS:

A. Weight is on the right side, no transfer, rotation stops.
B. Right shoulder dipped well beneath left; back is not in an upright position. Right knee is not even with the left knee.
