but seriously, who hits like that irl?
This is a ridiculous swing, do you see any hall of fame"r" swing like that?
It's a good practice i would say. I hit like that when the wind is blowing really hard, but to hit shots like that, your shots are going to be lower. Just too much down. Especially if you hit a drive like that, it's probably gonna go 50 yards less than your normal swing. Probably 30 yards less if you hit all your irons like that. Not to mention, you are not letting the club work like a club. More like let's stop making the club work like a club.
In the video, the other guy also said "trust me folks, it's really hard to do." Of course! Because you are holding on to all the energy stored. I can't imagine anybody hitting a baseball like that.
This swing makes you feel like the limit is the sky. If the club works like a club, you should feel like the sky is the limit.
I'm not trying to hate or anything, but hte fact that Gregg McHatton said you shouldn't lift the club up, and just go around your body or rotate your right elbow is not optimal for everybody. Everybody has a different swing, I feel like people who tells you there is only one way to swing the club, is not your teacher.
There is no one way to swing the golf club. Whatever works for you, works for you. You will be the one who'll find out. The teaching methods can only let you go so far. Trying different things, it might surprise you.
I took a lesson from Manzella, and I studied for a few weeks. Knowing why he told me to do certain things. Now, I might not do exactly what he told me, because I know what works for me. He did point out some stuff that I didn't realize it before, and that's more than anything you can ever ask for.
What I learned the most in this forum is, you can learn all the method you want, but you as a golfer, need to figure out what is the right swing for you. You don't need to do exactly what your teacher tells you to do. It's your responsibility to tweak the swing that fits for you.
just my 2 cents.
