Forward Press

[wedgeplay]

Brian,

What do you think about the forward press in the golf swing?


I don't mean impact hands at set up but a forward press to initiate the swing.


Does this open/close the face or do anything negative?

fp has been really useful when i'm around the green. backspin!!

from what I have heard on here, its not taught by brian, because it hinders loading the club. however, and ill probably get people that dispute this, but if you watch videos of mike finney, he has forward press for sure, and hes a hell of a ball striker... or so i hear...

I think every golf swing should have a trigger. Could be a physical movement, could be telling yourself "go" in your head, whatever works for you. The forward press is probably a fairly common trigger, especially in putting.

Does this open/close the face or do anything negative?

Don't look that far into it, it's not that complicated......
