This is what Steve Pratt advocates. He was taught this move by Mike Austin. One of the longest hitters ever even though they used wood headed drivers in his day. Steve calls it the flap and slap and says start immediately from the top and as long as you shift your weight towards the target it's not a cast. Love both your content.

Excellent comment. And Dan Shauger was also an excellent teacher of the Mike austin method

My comfortable swing is with the flying elbow to get the whip effect. I need to work on lateral side bend on the way down to avoid coming over the top which results in a left hook for me. Great vid, as always, Christo!

My take on this is that the ideal thing to concentrate on is that trail elbow position 1) related to the trail hip and 2) related to the lead elbow. Recall Moe Normans video where he mentions his, and Hogans, secret of the trail elbow being right under the lead elbow (“you could drive a truck through here…”), and how Hogan has a fantastic move of bringing his trail elbow back to inside his trail hip and rotating around from there. With that trail elbow position it keeps the lag until the whip release, and the face is square as long as it can be before closing due to the relative elbow positions at that point of the swing. I don’t think consciously concentrating on the release is the way to consistency, I still think concentrating on the elbow positions during the body lead swing and letting everything else happen is the way to go.

I see, what I consider a slight concave backswing plane. Thoughts?

Those classic swing aids like Swing Rite that have a weight that click at the bottom are good for practicing this move.

Good to know. Thanks!

what range are you at with grass to hit off of? I hit so well off of mats, I can carry my 5 iron around 220 off a mat, but barely get over 200 off of grass. I have an issue with the depth of my divots, especially with my long irons. When I find a grass range, it really helps to work on the depth of my divots. Thanks! Swing is looking good!

Unloading the left wrist at the top is key. This is how Bobby Jones swung. You should feel drawing a perfect circle with the clubhead and that the clubhead is floating in space thru impact. .

Freddie has the most beautiful release through the ball I’ve ever seen.

The IA from golf Fix application say a deep and inside take away is a mistake but i swing like that 🤣.

How does an OTT swinger recocile this with the premise of left with loft? A deep dive into this could be interesting. Perhaps, it is just a natural release of the club due to momentum.

Snead is the perfect example. It's in the hinging action of the wrists, which have nothing to do with rolling the forearms.

@@MiracleSwingExperience I would love a deep dive into this particular element with the Miracle Swing Experience members.

When I focus on this I deliver a lot of loft and hit it way too high. Have you experienced this at all?

Daughter has a nice swing Christo....

I hope she picks it up!

Hi Christo, I’ve genuinely struggled with my ball striking for 2 years. One of my best friends strongly recommend I study your methods( which I did all of last week). I hit 90 balls on the practise ground on Friday. Shot -1 for 9 holes on Saturday then -1 for 18 holes today. I stuck to the process the whole time - never wavered once. 5 yard fades and straight balls were common place! The Open Championship is in my hometown of Troon, Scotland in July. If you’re in town for it I want to buy you a beer as thanks.⛳️🍺👍🏽

These guys have perfect eye hand coordination and are able to manipulate their swing always to perfect results. Are amateurs able to achieve good results with these swings? Absolutely! Can they be consistent with these swings? I doubt it. Future will tell if Knapp can be consistent.

This is video of him playing a round of golf with his brother shows a really cool view of his release in action kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGeplNCIiqzeerg.html.

I also noticed more golfers are raising their hands to more like a single plane swing.

I’ve tried this to hit longer but the timing is just too hard to get right for me. Too easy to hook or slice, pull or push. I use a big shoulder turn and just let club chose its own speed, no whipping. I’ve given up yards but avoid so many penalty strokes.

How come golfers like Jake Knapp and Cameron Champ look like they are barely even trying to swing the club, whereas Bryson DeChambeau and Martin Borgmeier look like they are swinging out of their shoes? Which swing is worse for your body in the long run--the smooth one or the flagrantly wild one?

His swing is like a Fred couples Rory McIlroy love child.

You don't appear to release the club at all

Thanks for the video. I think many amateurs struggle with the release, because the are trying to replicate a static impact position instead of having a dynamic "throw." I found a video from a different KZreadr, and it really helped to drive the point home. Please have a look. I know it will help people to get this move in their swing. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGSDz5SAn5y2nrA.htmlsi=kBoYnEUDpfcmzIgB
