jim hardy seems to say the arms should be passive and the turning of the body provides all the power.

I try and keep my arms/hands passive , but this video says the arms and hands should be hitting.. which is correct.?

@sulakleo hitmanhawky needs to stop spamming

[MrSteckleinjr]

@pattyheno he's correct. however, even though the body's rotation produces much of the speed in the golf swing, your hands and wrists pack the final punch, allowing the clubhead to travel much faster than the handle thru impact!

@cockywatchman1976 maybe you should make stuff up and then people will come from all over the world to pay you $200 an hour. and then you'll have more cash to film squirrels from your mother's basement! or you could simply listen to him and possibly cure your OTT problem?

@pattyheno Jeff seems to make up this stuff, and it seems to go against every other teacher. I dont like it, but thats me

[MrSteckleinjr]

Hardy leads me to believe that a slight lateral shift is wrong as part of the transition. am i wrong?

[pattyheno]

@cjcollas Also I don't like the idea of just turning the body as fast as possible to wack the ball. This leads to inconsistent shots. So I have tried to slow it down with tempo in here. I have one of the slowest swings in my club visually. But still measured around 100mph so it still goes a good distance.

@cjcollas after three year I'm pretty much doing this. Passive arms.

I'm single figures handicap although don't practice as much as it should.

I have tried 2 plane swing along the way and there are benefits of both.

Always went back to 1 plane.

I do like Stack and tilt method for ease but I think is very similar to Jeffs transition.

Are you following Hardys 1 plane method ?

[cjcollas]

@pattyheno I am curious to know what you have found to be your answer two years after you wrote this comment? For me it is arms passive and they just go with the flow of the transition. If my transition is fast and out of wack the ball is going to be thin or shanked etc. If the transition is right its pure plush sweetness.

FAVORITE JR G VID! ATTACK VS. RETREAT--YAH BUDDY! i choose attack and my wussy hamstrings choose retreat.

@davk0613 - Ok I went to range and answered my own question. When I shift my weight into the spung (from inside back right heel to front left big toe) I noticed there is a natural lateral shift that occurs. From my big left toe I then transfer my weight to my back left heel at impact. So the proper sequence is 1. transfer weight to the spung, 2. rotate your hips 3. transfer weight from front left big toe to left heel at impact.

[davk0613]

I completely agree with the spung drill as you will see any professional golfer load up on the big left toe at the top of their swing (back right heel to front left toe weight transfer). My questions is about the lateral move that must take place to start your downswing. Is it correct to 1. transfer your weight to the spung, 2. make a lateral shift with your hips towards the target, 3. rotate your hips through the ball. This all takes place with the head perfectly still behind the ball.
