Boo Weekley at Torrey practice range - 6/10/08

[Teris10]

Boo hit a bunch of balls with this contraption on his arms. He hit the ball very low and hit the same shot every time. When he took it off, he hit a bunch of drives - all very low and long.

I know hes a country bumpkin.... but can someone teach him how to match his belt to his shoes.... your a professional!!!

 

[lookingtolearn]

I would get WAY too laid off using a contraption like that.

 

[birdie_man]

Me too. Too laid off and too open.

Is that the strongest grip on tour?
My teacher wants my grip like that. I'm fighting it.

 

[Bomber]

The contraption is same as a smooth swing by izzo. I use it a lot for a lot of my new players stops their elbows flapping all over the place and makes it hard to chicken wing. Petty good training aid.

 

[detonum]

The contraption propably helps him get the feel of the deep pitch position of the right elbow, so that he can achieve maximum trigger delay. You can see how deep his right elbow is at impact.

Great impact picture.

Hogan used to wrap his belt around his elbows and practice. Looks like the same thing to me...

That contraption is also know as rubber tubing tied with a knot.

So perhaps more attention should be paid to that oft-dismissed picture from 5 Lessons...
