Oh a hammer!!…the wall…the nail….and golf it all makes sense.
That my friend is beautiful logic. Already I’m a believer.
What on God’s green earth????
Pick up a hammer? is he sayin’ we have to replace the driver with a sledge hammer !!
I think hes hammerd
HE SHOULD HIT HIMSELF WITH A HAMMER
Was that a golf lesson or DIY?
seriously though it does seem plainly simple but it cant be just about that or is he only referring to the driver?
Hammer Grip = Big Time Flip
Sounds a bit like another golf swing method: the Jerry Heard swing. I pound nails for a living, used to play golf a bunch too. No carpenter I know of uses both hands to pound a nail, which is why swinging a hammer is so much easier to learn.
This is actually GOLD (no phun intended). Zillions of golfers would become better players if they adapted completely “passive hands” and a true square-to-square swing. A clubhead aligned truly square to the swing plane is the solution, and making it happen with a stong grip is exactly what this swing is about. It could also be done with a weak grip, then it becomes more in style of what Joe Dante teached in the past, and what folks like Shauger teaches today.
Try a sledgehammer
Its amazing, this fella gives some of the best advice you will ever see on the golf swing yet people mock him.
Griptheclublikethatandyouhave3options:
1Literally stop the clubhead at the ball like a hammer stops at a wall. (Not very powerful)
2Keep swinging the club past the ball with the hammering motion and proceed to break your left wrist. (More powerful but very painful)
3Allow your left wrist to naturally rotate counterclockwise release, thereby snap hooking the ball in a way that no golf ball has been snap hooked before. (Most powerful, least painful, but 90 degrees in the wrong direction
what is wrong with this guy
? yh
actually a lot of instructors get confused as to how to release a golf club properly. they say to rotate your forearms through the shot. this is incorrect. the right hand hits the ball straight on. “the flip” occurs when the ball is too far back or you have an improper weight shift.
