Enjoyed the video. Simple is always best espcially when it comes to sports. Clubface and path are the two main parts of a swing along with others that each of us must learn to control with our subconscious mind and let our conscious mind do other things like course management. Cheers.
From the best information I have, face angle is 80-85% of launch direction for a driver, 75% for a 6-iron and 70% for an LW. I once played a par 3 course and was focussing on squaring my lead hand at impact because that had been improving my impacts (not direction which was already quite good but just the quality of the strike). I was playing with high-handicappers and we came to this 225 yd. (185 for them) par 3 into a slight breeze. I took out a 4-wood (made of actual wood) which was a bit too much club but I only had a 2-iron beyond that which wasn't enough. I made a full smooth swing with only moderate effort concentrating on squaring my hand and made sublime impact. The ball rocketed off on a soaring trajectory directly at the back pin to oohs and aahs from the rest of my group and flew over the pin and beyond the green by 15 yds. I don't think that I have ever hit a shot so concussively with less effort. The key never worked so well again for power as it did during that round; I think that something in my backswing was synching ideally with the hand position. However, I have always used it and it has always helped me hit the ball very straight which is one of my strong suits generally. Cheers.
@@GolfTestDummy Certified indeed, my man. Maybe less welcome as an add on, but I've come to believe that getting your hips level at impact with a touch of trail side crunch is a dynamic combo with the square wrist(s). Cheers.
@@GolfTestDummy I don't know if you've seen Scotty's Golf Grip latest lesson with a newbie golfer, producing extremely impressive results. I also wrote a long comment on why this works so well. Though you might find one or both interesting. My own reservations about it were in good part about what it make the (at least my) arms do in the downswing but having thought about it (see the comment) I've come to believe that it has many merits that are hard to beat, in particular for beginners or struggling golfers. What I didn't write in the comment (special GTD exclusive 🙂 ) is that what matters in the golf swing is how the arms and hands produce a squaring and releasing function RELATIVE TO how the area between them moves in 3-dimensional space of which there are a lot of variations. This method limits those variations substantially enough to almost guarentee good shaft dynamics. One might end up with a shorter swing (as did one of the 2 "world's worst golfers" that tried it) but as Indicated in my previous comment and story, nothing trumps a synchronized squarinng impact for power and direction. Cheers.
@@GolfTestDummy Yeah, not suggesting that you try it and I probably wouldn't either except for some general knowledge and kicks, so to speak. I think that it's interesting to consider how and why this works, after all "the more you know, the less you need". Cheers.
The numbers don’t lie…they all equal to what’s been titled…Ball Flight Laws Why the ball do what it do The swing path and the face angle combo to the target line …is the final end to that ball flight Push the back of our lead wrist and our sternum to our target…that’s simple enough Very intuitive video GTD
I love where you are going with your channel. The real secret will always be how good we control the club. 👍
Just another tool to do a job big timer! Ready for you to get well and back on the grind.
@@GolfTestDummy On day. 👍
Thanks Chad ... Indeed, straight is great =)
Good advice
Have you tested out the Over The Top Miracle Swing?

Agreed.
Have you reviewed single length clubs?

Confirmed by TP! Haha, that makes it certified, I believe.

With my bum wrists, it's a non starter, but always happy to hear about some unconventional thinking winning a few rounds from time to time.

Great info. Very well delivered. Loved it!
Thanks a bunch, Mr. K!
Clubface is king!
Makes sense, right?
Have you reviewed the Jim Venetian golf swing ? Seems super easy and repeatable
It was my first review series.
@@GolfTestDummy I’m watching it now
The numbers don’t lie…they all equal to what’s been titled…Ball Flight Laws
Why the ball do what it do
The swing path and the face angle combo to the target line …is the final end to that ball flight
Push the back of our lead wrist and our sternum to our target…that’s simple enough
Very intuitive video GTD
It's always easier than what we make it out to be.
Hey Chad have you seen any of the Scotty’s golf grip videos? Pretty wild
I've seen some, yeah. Looks like he's gaining views and subs fast.
Before I even watch the video, Most are better off playing a shape. Not straight.
Controllable shape…which Bubba lives by.
11:24 = 11 minutes and 24 seconds of BULL SHIT! ........wasting air!!
On my end it shows 11:25. That's crazy.
