Mr Rinker in the video you said that you play with your dominant side as your lead side and really feel the release in the lead arm and hand? Did I hear that right? You are left handed? I am as well and am considering playing right handed for the reasons in the video. Thoughts?
Yes, that is correct. I would go with which way you swing a baseball bat or which way you see the field of play best. When I set up left-handed it doesn't look right to me. Setting up right handed does. Hope that helps.
@ it does thank you. I bat switch handed. My L to L is better right handed, my left hand release is better left handed. Do you have an option to get evaluated to see which would be best for me? I am in Ponte Vedra so not too far.
@@jawjuh1005 I think that's a decision the golfer in you is going to have to make. A little trial and error might be helpful. If you want to come see me email me at LarryRinkerGolf@gmail.com. Thanks.
actually I've looked this up and of very good golfers with either 1 arm missing or a arm disability about 80-90 percent of them choose to put the strong arm on the trail side (right arm for rightys). the world #1 golfer with a disability is is George Groves www.wagr.com/wr4gd-ranking. who has Erbs palsy and only has 20 percent use of his left arm and he plays righty. Also friend of mine Graeme Dawson has no left hand (never did) and plays righty and was the captain of the St Andrews University Golf Club First Team twitter.com/StandrewsGD/photo also went to the round of 8 in the scottish amateur match play and is still a great golfer. He say he would never have played to a high level if he had the strong arm in front. About 80-90 percent of arm disabled golfers put the strong arm in the rear and it cannot be discounted that 95 plus percent of players any TOUR at any point in history was players with the dominant arm on the trail side (obviously some very great playing lead side dominant players like Phil, Jordan Spieth and Larry, but they are a small minority) . This has to go beyond tradition, there is a mechanical advantage to the power being in the trail side mostly. Notably, disabled golfers with single leg disabilities put the strong leg in the front. (again about 90 percent) I've seen sasho's left arm drive and it is impressive but id call that a learned skill and he is an understated athlete too. The man jumps over cars. SO many great points in this video but I think the right arm is the one I would choose if I had too.
Great stuff, thanks!
always great teaching video larry.
do you have video you can direct me to to keep my back to target as long as possible in swing?
thanks
john

How can Jon Sinclair claim that a little ulnar deviation will still retain the lag angle between shaft and lead arm? Surely that's an early cast?
That's what his data shows. Have to ask Jon Sinclair.
