Tried to modify Da Vinci swing a bit, shot bogie golf the first four holes. Said screw the changes, went back to straight up Da Vinci and shot one under for five holes. Never done that before. The swing kicks butt. Can't wait for the next practice tee.
Hi Vince, The 'Original' is invariably the 'best' with everything.... having said that I will be adding some 'variations to the 'Original' Davinci Code swing simply because of evolutionary learning by myself... one under for the next 5 holes was quite a comeback. cheers JH
Hi Michael, You poor guys that have weather conditions that preclude you from being able to play golf for long periods of time, I was just saying yesterday to a Pro that works out of a Club in Canada that I was amazed at the temperature at the course on Thursday... -18 degs .... and it will be that way for months....he was heading to a Domed indoor range as well. I told him we are so spoilt where I live... you can play 365 days of the year...a cold day for us is maybe 12 degs Celsius..around 50 degs Fahrenheit...and you will only get maybe 2 of those a year, sometimes none in a whole year... I once played Golf 286 days in a row for a bet. The bet was for $10,000 that I couldn't actually play golf 365 days in a row... the rule was I had to go to a golf course and play at least 2 holes every day... I did that for 286 straight days... some of the holes were played in the rain and coldish weather but never weather so bad I couldn't actually get the 2 holes played, some of the holes were played at night when I had things on on those days with my car headlights illuminating the teeing area and a flashlight to find the balls. I had to stop at 286 days because of a family crisis that required me to travel somewhere..... the guy who bet me the $10,000 was very relieved the crisis came up because he told me I absolutely would have played the 365 days in a row for sure. cheers JH PS Its a beautiful day here right now... 27 degs Celsius and a lovely cool breeze ... not quite what you are experiencing I wouldnt think.
Feel ya here. Just finished blowing 11" of snow here in Wisconsin. Backing the vehicles out, heat up the garage, and hit balls into the net. A smile to my face!
Gunslinger puts the club on the right side of the body. Predisposes the club to move away from chest at a 45 (to the body) with a feel of a bicep curl. Also forces your body into an impact brace position at set up. Very into your left side. Like Pampling. Amount of forward ball position determines how much of your brace turns to accommodate the strike. I've noticed your ball position has moved forward. Keeping the right arm adhered to the body forces the brace to turn just enough for a strong strike. It's a shortcut. The first third of the backswing is traditionally used to get the club to the right of centerline and the first half of the downswing is to get your brace built and ready to accept rotation. This presets both. Pick it up. Drop it down. Push it to turn your brace. Easy compression and power.
1atomicgolf Thanks. Always seeking though. I think you'll find this ends up looking a lot like Edwin's stuff, but you power it differently. And the right arm adhesion/punch elbow will encourage more turn into the ball than the RSS's throwing the arms past the body. I like the way this looks and feels. Looks right. Flies right. Well, this has a lot of right looking in it. I wonder if you would consider building some internal tensions in the lower body like knees pressing out with ankles and thighs pressing in to lock that structure into place? Net result being no change in look, but with the foundation built strong. Impact is built. Keep it intact and just let it turn in response to the curl push. Just a thought.
Its opportune you ask about more structural integrity at address in the swing... I have only in the last 2 days evolved a process that in fact applies a 'lot' address structural integrity in the swing and as 'feeling' actually increases the the integrity loading's during the course of the back swing ..the resultant being a huge automatic forward swing response of body components through impact, I call it the 'Elastic Surge' principle. I will go over the process in the next video updates. cheers JH
I cant get out for a full round because of time restraints at the moment.. I have played groups of 3/4 holes at a time with multiple balls and the results have been really good, some of the shots have been incredible. I am deliberately not playing a full round yet because the process is still not completed as a set 'feel' program as yet. cheers Jh
hi JH, Used the swing on amlocal club- turnament tjis Sunday. Got 1 over pair. Played in very strong wind, but still good distance.. Only problem is that with this swing i am not able to get high softlanding chips! all chips gets to low and 'flat' running too fare.. any suggestions ? for that ?
Chip shots will be lower generally because the trail hand is further back than normal and a bit more clamp will be applied to the ball... its just a matter of practicing the throw release more when you need a higher softer shot ... you need to feel a definite 'throwaway' action of the club head through the ball for those shots... lots of writs hinge release... it requires a lot of confidence to do that but that's the method. The closer you can get to the ball at address with a shot that requires a higher flight the more you will verticalize the shot mechanics which will give a higher softer flight ...you just need to practice the mechanics to get the flight for those shots. cheers Jh
Hi David, You can increase the body rotation speed but you need to be cognizant of still firing the trail hand against the lead wrist .. if you do not consciously get the trail hand/fingers 'throwing past the lead forearm you will leave the clubface wide open at impact with only rapid body rotation taking place . cheers JH
Hi Paul, I am totally committed to the Channel Lock swing now because its the culmination of a life long search for the reason 'all' previous swing types cannot produce consistent starting ball flight. That's not to say everyone else should abandon all other swing types...its what works for you 'best' that should always be the objective... and for me that now is the Channel Lock swing. cheers JH

Great stuff. Zero degrees here but I'm going to head to the indoor dome. 3 months of practice ahead. You are stoking the golf fire.

Keep the analysis coming... good stuff there.

If that is you swinging on your channel you have a great action.

thnx JH, i will test and try..
JH you're looking so much better now! Have you taken this to the course yet?
I cant get out for a full round because of time restraints at the moment.. I have played groups of 3/4 holes at a time with multiple balls and the results have been really good, some of the shots have been incredible.

hi jh!! quick question , can u replace the throw out with rapid body rotation? throw out happens post impact?? cheers mate!!
Hi David,
You can increase the body rotation speed but you need to be cognizant of still firing the trail hand against the lead wrist .. if you do not consciously get the trail hand/fingers 'throwing past the lead forearm you will leave the clubface wide open at impact with only rapid body rotation taking place .
cheers JH
JH does this new swing mean you've given up on all aspects of the single plane golf swing?
Hi Paul,
I am totally committed to the Channel Lock swing now because its the culmination of a life long search for the reason 'all' previous swing types cannot produce consistent starting ball flight.

...for the record : i got 1 over pair in net stroke, my hpc is about 17 ...
That's still a good result when trying something as new and different as this swing is.
