well not really new but inspired by a thread "why do i hit like a 15 year old?"


I tried many different swing over the weekend try to see how to maximize my swing speed.


I spent about 3 days figuring out what's the fastest way to get from point a to b. (aka top of your swing to the ball)

I figured the fastest way is through gravity. Which means the hands, the club do not go out but go down.

Not sure how to describe this, but if you were to stand next to your car trunk (you have to have your right side facing the car trunk, not your chest), you open the trunk (that's the top of your swing), and smash the trunk down (that's your downswing).


It feels like what Kevin described before, "you could stick the butt of the club into your right thigh on the down swing if you want to"


It didn't work for my friend, because he never really learned how to square the club face.

We fixed his club face within min..... and he was the hammer man.

Thanks, more stuff to work on, good visuals though, trunk and club in right thigh.
 
The hell? Feel like your arms stay outstretched the ENTIRE SWING and use your right hand while keeping your lower body stable.
