I saw this and was disappointed by the hype. There are guys hitting it further who don't do this and so it's just a meaningless anomaly to me. I'd rather hear about Bubba or Dustin's wingspan or their "arc" numbers (as in how big of an arc do they generate per 3-D measurement). Who are the other guys whose rotation switches directions? What percentage of the sped his hip rotation is generating get transferred to the club? What kind of external rotation does Rory have in his shoulders? How about his range of lateral flexion? Does that help to explain how he gets the club here?:

See the graph at 2:28.
I could be wrong, but I think that hip rotation speed is the red line, and the 3 vertical black lines will be top of swing, impact and finish. In which case, Rory's backward hip movement happens after impact. Maybe that was obvious to everyone else, but I'd have thought that in making such a huge deal of it, they'd at least have pointed out that this ultrarare, unique move happens after the ball is on it's way. Rory's unique hip move has as much to do with how he hits the ball as the way he twirls his club.

But does the energy from the chain really get all the way out to the club?

Total thread Jack, but he looks like a frumpy girl with a beard. If they named his "look" it would be "homeless white trash".

Very offensive, Lindsey.
Are you telling us, you don't wear a tie with your golf shirt???? We in the South invented that look... now everyone does business casual.
Side Bend - i.e. shoulder getting closer to the hip on the same side.
This "Kinetic Chain" is completely misunderstood, mis-applied, viewed in the wrong context - most of the time. "Getting energy out of the ground" - just a poor perspective and then on top of that - they don't explain or clarify how you "get energy out of the ground" since that's what they think. How do I get speed in my car - by getting energy out of the ground?

Haha, I love it. If the south invented it, you should be ashamed.

That is a sick look there.
Neverthess Birly it is just the consequence of something done PRE-impact which effects impact.
Nice. Those TRI guys just seem to want to be slick presenters. The info is either incomplete or too superficial to have any relevance.

Agreed. The ground is for standing on only and has no function of its own other than to provide upwards resistance to downward forces..

Of course, Wulsy. But causes and consequences is exactly the point. Some poor sod is going to watch that video and conclude that throwing his hips into reverse is the secret to massive clubhead speed.

damn it i just perfected that move in my backyard, too. i was about to head to the range

I think at 2.50 the host says that the reverse does not contribute to his length. And earlier the scientist attributes the reverse to extremely "hard" muscles in the core.
