So at what point does the transfer of energy from the ground, through the legs and torso, through the arms and wrist to the club head take place? A typical rotary swing does give you accuracy as the club is in-sink with the body but you're going to need that accuracy because you're hitting a 3 iron to your playing partner's 6 iron because you DO NOT CREAT SPEED, with a rotational swing. It's in the arms and it's using ground forces to slow down part of the body in a kinematic sequence that transfers the energy at impact and not at the top of the end of the swing. The orange whip was created to teach you how to use your arms for speed and release of the club, not the shaft bend?
I am not a teaching pro but I figured out how to do it. First, it won’t happen from the top, it’s impossible to hold for that long. Just make sure, if your right handed, to keep your right index finger pressed hard and pinned to that shaft. I do that while using thumb and closing the gap.
The way I do it is to side-bend to the right with spine slightly at the top of the backswing. That move can be done independently of the tilt and turning of the shoulders and actually start dropping the hands while the club force is still trying to pull the lead arm tighter to the chest and turn the shoulders square. The faster you can drop the hands down and forward counter to the club head mass still moving forward the more the shaft bends and loads. Maintaining the bend in the shaft requires keeping the hand moving faster than the club head is able to due to its inertia. Progressively increasing the amount of side-bend as the hips pull shoulders around will do that, why you see all good ball strikers with a lot of side bend at impact. At the point in the swing the club mass swings outside (behind the hands) and gravity can start pulling it down without the hands preventing it the club head will start to whip around the hands. This usually occurs as the hands pass over the right hip and approach the low point in their arc. That causes the shaft to straighten then bend forward. That is the point where you need to coordinate the lifting of the back foot to keep the hips, shoulders and hands moving. Using the right index finger extended on the side of the shaft as on a trigger of a gun as Mark L. suggests will give you feedback via the pressure the shaft puts on it during the swing when the club mass is lagging and being pulled by the hands and the point it starts whipping around the hands outracing them. The point where you feel the pressure on the index finger decrease is when you need to keep your hips moving all the way to the finish. I see a lot of recreational golfers wind up with hips facing right, not square to target in their finish (blocked hips) which will cause the hands to slow and whip club left around body with bent elbows. If squaring the front foot it needs to be rolled on the ankle for most to get the hips square and hand moving correctly. Simply flaring the front foot as much as it takes to get the hips square when doing a practice swing is much easier on the body.
Umm… the shaft doesn’t stay loaded thru impact. It unloads and the head passes the shaft prior to impact! Plus, Why is he hitting balls over the fence into someone’s property! And he killed that tree with his first ball!

Great video. Any drills on how to maintain shaft deflection through impact?

lol he’s all hopped up on painkillers
What brand club are you using?
I don’t get how to do it?
