Taly Explains his Golf Swing Mechanics and Geometry with Driver
In this practice session with driver, Taly demonstrates the alignments, planes, and geometry utilized in the “Without Swinging Your Arms” approach. This is only one of the three simplified approaches which Taly has developed for impacting a golf ball. The other two moves are the Vertical Arm Drop move and the pullpush technique.

Whether his swing is actually easier to use or he is off the mark, I certainly applaud him for thinking outside the box and looking for something easier to time. I can’t see it working well without the strong grip though.
Thanks for posting BTSZ101.
The swing would actually look fairly similar even with a neutral grip because of the reset position that I make with the red ball at the start.
I point the red ball directly behind me but also turn my left forearm to the right so that the shaft tilts on plane and matches the red line and the back of my left wrist.
By using a strong grip, I don’t have to turn my left forearm to the right too much.
With a neutral grip, I would just turn it a little more.
I tried this on the range today and I think you really have something that works.

There are many ways to hit a golf ball and we just have to find what works for us.
We get a ton of email to our site with golfers really enjoying these simplified moves.
Thanks for trying it out and remember to not allow your club to fling or release off your chest into the golf ball. That will feel more powerful but it’s not.
Just hold everything rigid and firm, and continue your turn. Never allow your club to advance with arms or hands with this move.
A Short List of Players Who Return The Shaft to Its Original Angle at Address:
Ben Hogan
Sam Sneed
Lee Trevino
Vijay Singh
Sergio Garcia
hmmmm….
Great point seanillesgolf.
Those are great names and I do too, just not with this move.
These alignments are for the “Without Swinging Your Arms” move and provide a very powerful and accurate alternative for golfers who have not had success with other techniques.
With the two other simplified moves that we have provided, we do return the shaft to its original shaft plane.
Great Technique… I actually have been working on it for a few years now…
Thanks for posting oochoa73.
it’s a good visual for players with overly vertical backswings. this will flatten your backswing but, depending on face angle, can create an even steeper impact angle.
im buying this
thats vey possible
Is your open club face made with Hogan’s pronation? How do you avoid hooking the ball off the planet with pull-push? I ordered your device last night and am very enthusiastic.
Is this true for all clubs ( except the putter ) in the bag?
Thanks for posting favcity.
Help me understand your question a little better. You mentioned three different things: 1) an open clubface, 2) “how do I avoid hooking”, and 3) the PullPush move.
Please note that the move shown above is not the PullPush which is one of the 3 simplified moves we recommend.
It’s the “Without Swinging Your Arms” move where I set the club behind me and then don’t change the position of my arms relative to my chest as I move into impact.
Hi diffonyahoo. Thanks for posting.
Yes, you can use this move with all your clubs in the bag.
I only use it for my driver because that’s the only club that I need that much power with.
Once I’m in the fairway, power is less important and as I get closer to the green I don’t want to have that feeling inside where I feel that my move is going to hit the ball too hard or too far.
I like our Vertical Arm Drop move once I’m in the fairway which is similar to a Steve Stricker approach.

Hi,
thanks for replying.
I tried this out at the range today. Impact is definitely better the the distance actually reduces. I completed a full shoulder turn at the top of the backswing and started the downswing with the hips which is how I usually hit and get about 230y with the driver but today using this, I only got to about 200-210.
I have received the Mind Set and have discovered that I come over the top!
I did use the device for almost all the shots and I think I put it on incorrectly since I could not get it to travel along a straight toe line.The ‘body only swing’ yielded the best results but still only 200 yards with a drive.
To be fair I am 52 and 5′-11″ and 230 lbs with an artificial front hip. My swing speed is 80mph. I did find Mr. Blakes video helpful.
I did not read your helpful brochures until yesterday.
Hi Mr. Williams. This a TGM hit as you sense it? I have the prod. It is awesome. It helps me see my TGM readings. Is your vert swing a TGM “swing?”
Hi favcity,
I’ll be meeting with one of the top TGM instructors to understand the proper TGM descriptions of our simplified moves and then I’ll be able to tell you more definitively if I’m “hitting” in this video.
IMO what I like about TGM is that it’s more of a resource than a specific swing so I’ll be interested to see if our vert move is a TGM “swing”.
Even though we simplify what golfers need to “do”, other things are “happening” and maybe as a total package it might align with TGM.
I’ve been reviewing your video and another swing theory on youtube for the past week now, I took the information to the range today and implemented both swings. HOLLY CRAP! Your swing approach and theory is spot on! Unfortunately due to a lack of money I can’t afford your swing tool, but I do appreciate you sharing your information!

Intresting swing thoughts, isnt it the same as pre cocking your wrists then swinging your arms back and through. not going to rush out and by one though
Thanks for posting MrPedrogolf.
No, it’s not the same.
I am not precocking my wrists. At address, there is already an angle between your left arm and your golf shaft. I don’t add any additional cocking. It’s an illusion.
All I have done is turned my left forearm to the right so that my left forearm, wrists, golf shaft, and clubhead are all in the same plane.
Secondly, in this move I do not swing. And by this I mean that I do not allow my arms to move independent of my chest.
Note – this is not the typical body swing that is taught.
This move has:
1) No additional cocking/uncocking into impact.
2) No squaring the clubface with arms, forearms, or wrists.
3) No independent swinging of the arms, and
4) No allowing the left arm to drop back down to the toe line.
Using the Taly allows you to repeat this geometry by monitoring the Triangle formed by: 1) the golf shaft, 2) the line out to the red ball, and 3) an imaginary line from clubhead to red ball.
