  • Yesterday, I used your swing with no practice beforehand, magnificant. I did not hit one slice or shank. by the end of the round I didn't even have to think about the swing. My follow thru finished with the club hitting my back. It was a bizarre experience. Thank you for sharing.

  • @asop02 That is really great to hear. I know the main reason this kind of club face has been frowned upon is, the ball will go left when you don't turn. With a Traditional golf swing, the turn stops half way and the hands and arms past the body turn closing the face, but if you keep turning you get to have a square club face during the entire swing. If the ball does go left, it also reminds you that you didn't turn (or flipped). Thanks for the validation. Ross

  • Do you use a string grip for this type of swing???

  • @Patchkaa33 I am not familiar with the term "String" but I am using an interlocking grip. The little finger of my right hand and the first finger of my left hand, wrap around each other or interlock.

  • Can you add hand action to shape shots? eg to hit it low and hit it high, but only doing so from a similar position at the top? Or would you advise what Jack Nicklaus advocates, and hood and open the club at address and change the ball positions? I would think there are cases where you want repeating ball flights, but different ball flights around the course.

  • @NeonSloaney Yes you can just slightly open or close the club face at setup then just turn through the shot and get a slight draw or cut. The key is to not rely on the hands to open and close during the swing... not repeatable. Great question... thanks

  • @DUPLESSISGOLF I think he means a strong grip.

  • To add to my last comment, after changing to this square club face take away, I especially pay attention to different pro's take away and release action (ie, either square to square or open to close). Tiger Woods and Adams Scott, they were open and close, Other one planners like Lee Westwoods, use square to square and that's why Lee's swing is so consistent.

  • Absolutely agreed. My pro taught me this move few months back and I was scratching my head because Davie Leadbetter did not teach this. The feel was strange but the results were amazing, just 10 minutes of practicing, I was hitting rock solid irons. Since I changed to play this way, I almost hit every green in regulation with a 7 or higher iron. Never happened to me before and I was a 20 handicapper. I shot a 81 after 2 months changed to this swing.

  • i actually tried this i LOST 85 yards and couldnt get the ball more than 5 ft off the ground, ask bob toski (best teacher in the WORLD) about his golf swing, he'll tell you to go teach beginners and 80 year old people who are about to die.

  • a few simple points explained well, i've been working on my own swing for a while now and not turning my body through and hitting left is a big issue or me. i'll try this tomorrow along with getting my body around better and report back :D

  • thank you so much this explained alot! god bless
