    Absolutely using the upper body is indeed the core of a great golf swing. And what rotates the core of our body from start to finish are the muscles of our core and around those muscles is our rib cage Percy Cooper spoke of swinging in a barrel. I now suggest the so call barrel is the rolling rib cage of our bent chest that is at core center to a great golf swing. So let the good times roll. Don’t worry Swing Happy😊Cheers

    Where should the butt end of the driver point at address? At the belly button? Above it? Below it? Should the butt end of any club point at the same spot on the body or is it different for short irons as opposed to fairway or rescue clubs? Is it different for a tall person versus a short person?

  • @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING

    Do you have a video on width of stance with the various clubs? Your driver stance looks quite wide which I am guessing provides a lot of stability. But how wide is too wide (hard to get through the ball) or too narrow (not stable)?

  • @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING
    @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING2 ай бұрын

    Yes that’s correct - it depends on which of the 3 ground forces you are most dominant with if you are a rotational player you’d suit a less wide stance and a lateral player will suit a wider stance

    What about if your wrist conditions get you across/over the line at the top with a very closed club face causing you to re-route the club behind and get it stuck behind you to shallow it, to get it on plane, resulting in big overdraws/hooks with club path quite out to the right at impact. Making it more difficult with lower lofted clubs to get them up in the air. Would you still be trying to do the same shown in the video or something different with the wrists? Thanks

  • @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING
    @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING3 ай бұрын

    Check your takeaway - usually if you get across the line at the top it’s because you have excessive rotation in your arms during your takeaway causing you to take the club head on the inside too much so I’d work on improving that

    I use a moderately strong grip, so the left wrist is extended at setup. I understand the position the clubface should be halfway back, but I feel that this finds my wrist too extended at the top. Clearly, I can take the extension out of the wrist during the takeaway move, but this fans the clubface too open, and the ball tends to go right, then. So the question is twofold, I guess: What is the extension/flexion feeling I want halfway back, and when do I actively begin to flatten that left wrist so that it is not extended at all?

  • @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING
    @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING3 ай бұрын

    If you want to keep more on plane then completely takeaway to shaft horizontal/parallel to the ground and leading edge should be similar position to your spine angle. This will allow a steeper shaft set when hinging the wrists. From this point you can now move to the top and work lead wrist more into flexion - so that happens between cocking the wrists and the top (some players to it a little earlier in this phase some a little later)

    Very curious/confused why you would say the longer shaft of the driver might take the shaft to parallel at the top. The position of the shaft at the top of the backswing ideally would not be dictated by shaft length, yes? I mean, the angle of the shaft is dependent on the position of arms and wrists, yes, not shaft length?

  • @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING

  • @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING
    @SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING4 ай бұрын

    This question depends on a lot of factors - how tall are you v your wingspan which will influence whether you swing more upright or flatter. How do you release the golf club so what’s your position around 3 feet before impact? How do you hold the golf club as this will affect club face through impact as well. If you flip the club face closed check if your club face is too open during the downswing and also check if you release too early - you need to address why. Power comes from sequencing the movement of the body arms and club release well

    If you sequence your movement well on the downswing - so pelvis accelerates followed by torso, then arms and then club - the hands will take care of themselves in terms of release. Personally I like to focus on my hands for club face control

    It also depends on your natural wrist hinge. I hit the ball dead straight with any club because my wrist hinge and release is the same for everything, I have the toe pointed vertically in both the back swing and follow through. Tested it out today, it works really well. The main thing to keep in mind is that the angle halfway back and halfway through should mirror each other, beit vertical or at a 45° angle. Any discrepancy between the angles halfway back and halfway through will result in the ball going left or right. If it's going left, you're over rating your wrists, if it's going right, you're under rotating your wrists. Added bonus of this swing is it gives you maximum width of arc, which maximizes your potential distance.
