I knew that was a Golfing Machine reference. I have read it as well.

dont you like the Golfing Machine? i've seen many very good teachers who aren't A.I's but use many TGM terms and ideas. you do not do this. you obviously feel Jim Hardy's theory is better

[jritter5]

I teach golf, not One-Plane, not Golfing Machine not any one method. I have preferences which are certainly influenced tremendously by Jim Hardy, but in the end my goal is to fix the impact and I use many influences and ideas to do so, even some Golfing Machine related. I spent a week with Ben Doyle in California and took alot from that experience. I don't get caught up in terminology or semantics as it really doesn't matter what something is called, only that it works.

Good stuff as always Jeff. Playing around with the slap release on the range the other added at least 50% higher ballflight, if I can get it consistent. I think I'm usually employing a block release based on your vid, which may explain why I don't think I flip the club, but I still produce low blocks, which kill my long irons and woods. Do you recommend using multiple release types in a round, depending on shots you are trying to hit? Or should mid-cappers like myself try to stick with one?

this is like one of the most important things and is rarely touched on and its going to help me so much everything he said made so much sense to me and could be directly related to my swing

The pimp slap technique has been very helpful to my driving game. Thanks!

your the best

I understand.....Where do you live? Can you send me your video of your golf swing. Down the line and Face on? I'll do it for nothing!! I just want to see you improve. I am a golf instructor myself here in Orlando, FL. In the defense of teachers, YOU may think it's someones opinion, but for the most part they are all saying the same thing just in a different way. You need to have the right message for you.

@jruleiv1 Magazines & video's are the blue collar way. I can't afford to pay for some guy to record my swing & give an OPINION. Every instructor you go to will have a different fix, & a different opinion. In MY opinion the best thing you can do is steady working at it & keep HAVING FUN. If your not having fun your in the wrong place. The problem with golf is everyone thinks they have to be as good as the pro's. When really, enjoying yourself is the goal. After all, IT IS A GAME IS IT NOT?

[jruleiv1]

@ThatFellazZz......Stop looking at videos and reading magazines! Go to an instructor that has some video and can tell you what you do right and wrong and give you the information or recipe that fixes YOUR swing....not that of the masses. There is 100 different ways to cure a slice. Doesn't mean you should try them all. Find what works for you and why and you will start improving much faster.

@pecky1234 dude you got served twice! ha ha

[adicia1]

I agree with what he's saying here. It seems that the roll release helps develop lag more than the slap release. It also seems the roll release slightly Delofts the club. Jeff, would you agree with this?

this video should just start at 2:23

You can not ever feel like you are releasing club with you hands and arms. That is crazy
