Wouldn't it be great if technology could somehow let us know exactly what the Greats did with their hands in the golf swing?
If we had access to Tiger Woods actual data of what his hands and wrists were actually doing when he was striking the ball or throughout the entire swing, Because it's the hands and wrists that most immediately and dramatically affect what the club head is doing.
And of course, that's where the bulk of the speed comes from.
The hands are the fastest moving part of the body in the swing.
But of course, Tiger isn't exactly forthcoming with sharing any data on his swing.
He keeps those cards pretty close to his chest.
That'd be an understatement, actually.
But believe it or not, There actually is data that shows exactly what the greats are doing with their hands and wrists throughout the entire swing.
And that's exactly what I'm going to share with you in this video today.
And you may be thinking to yourself, well, that's great what the goats did, what Jack Nicklaus did with his hands and so on, but I'm not Jack Nicklaus.
I'm not a great.
Trust me, You are going to be blown away at just how little they did with their hands and wrists throughout the entire golf swing.
In fact, I was completely blown away.
Let me show you what I'm talking about.
The graph that you're looking at on the screen right now is the most revealing and important data you will ever learn about the golf swing period.
Why?
Because it is showing you what a tour player does with his wrists and hands throughout the entire golf swing.
And the first thing that you should notice is that they do relatively very little.
I'm going to talk about more of that in just a moment.
But the reason this is so important is because this is Thorborn Oleson's data.
Now you're like, some of you may be thinking, well, who the heck is that?
And why do I care?
The reason you care and the reason this matters, if you're following the goat code is because Thorborn, I'm sure I'm butchering his name.
I apologize.
I'm going to refer to him as Oleson from now on.
Oleson releases the club in a near identical way to how Tiger Woods releases the club.
And not just Tiger.
As you've seen in the goat code, almost all tour pros, all the greats, all the goats, the greatest of all time, released the club and swung the club in much the same way.
And the reason this is so important is because we're never going to get access to Jack Nicklaus or Ben Hogan's hands, or any golfer like that, or even Tiger's for that matter.
But Oleson's swing is a near doppelganger match for how his hands and wrists move throughout the swing.
And this data actually comes with the Hack Motion Pro device.
That's what's mind blowing about this.
Let's take a look.
Let me show you just how amazing this really is.
All right.
So I've got Tiger on the right and Oleson on the left.
And coincidentally, they're both Nike sponsored golfers and both wearing red with black pants.
So it kind of helps fit this even more, but you're going to notice some, a little bit of differences as they go back.
I'm going to talk more about this in a moment, but the big different, the big keys, what we're going to talk about is really what's happening throughout the downswing, through the release, where all the money is made, where the payoff is, where the speed comes from and where you square the face outside of that.
Well, not a lot else really matters, does it?
So as we near into impact, what you're going to see is how their hands move is, and their wrists and their forms is basically identical.
So the first thing we're going to move to is what I call the goat delivery position.
If you will, The reason I call it this is that every single great player all ends up just before impact in this same delivery position.
And I'll just quickly walk through it because a lot of times it's very confusing.
And understanding how you're supposed to square the club face coming into impact.
And a lot of golfers obviously really struggle with getting the club face squared up, swinging over the top, et cetera.
And the reality is, Is what the hack motion data shows is that there is a tremendous amount of rotation of the hands through the hitting area, which you're going to see in just a moment, But getting set up for that rotation is key because a lot of times, golfers think they got to cock their wrists a ton and bow the wrists a ton.
And none of that stuff is actually happening in swings like tiger and Jack and, uh, uh, Olison and many, many other great players.
And as they get into this delivery positions, a few things I want you to take note of one, notice the position of the lead elbow, notice how it's pointing straight down the target line, or even a little bit to the right of the target line at this point in both players, their trail arm, the right arm is tucked up against their side.
It's in a relatively passive position at this point.
And the logo of the glove and the palm of the right hand are facing directly away from them.
So this is actually a position where you would think, Oh my gosh, I got to start trying to square the face really early.
But the reality is not the case, what they're actually doing at this point.
And what, if you were in this position, you'd probably feel like you were going to hit the ball a mile to the right.
If you're a typical over the top slicer, but of course what's going on in your swing is you have to do something.
That's got to feel radically different in order to fix that over the top slice and getting into this goat delivery position.
I was going to call it GDP for short that you see all these great players in, in this exact position where the elbow pit of the right arm is facing away from you.
The left arm's pointing down the target, the logo, the gloves pointing away.
This will feel very, very unusual.
If you've never, if you're not a great player, you're not in this position already, but this is what all the greats do.
And now as we start moving down into impact, you'll see that the logo of the glove is still facing away from them.
They're not trying to rush the hands over to try and flip their hands over in a desperate effort to square the face.
In fact, what this feels like is for most golfers will feel like it's still in a very, very open position, but you'll see as we get into this impact position and note again, the lead elbow is still pointing straight down the target line.
Most golfers are trying to rotate that hand over very early with their arm.
And so this elbow starts to flip over.
The greats don't do that and the data doesn't lie.
So you can see the same thing in Olsen's swing.
His elbow is pointing straight on the target line.
The right elbow is still pointing away from them.
And that is actually the secret to squaring the face, which I'll talk more about in just a moment.
So this feeling and getting in the delivery position is everything in the golf swing, And understanding exactly what your hands are doing throughout the backswing is critical to getting into this position.
Notice as we get through into the release, notice how they release the club.
Notice how much rotation there is.
Notice how you can see their fingers on both.
I know it's blurry on both, but you can see the low, the glove, the white on their gloves.
They've rotated their hands over a ton.
And when you look at the data of what the hack motion pro shows you, their hands are rotating a tremendous amount.
And again, this is kind of the opposite of what a lot of golfers think they're supposed to do.
I think they're supposed to square that face really early and then rotate their body hard through the ball and hold that face effectively from rotating.
Or hold it off from releasing.
That's another way to release the club.
That's Dustin Johnson swings that way.
Victor Hovland, there's many other players that do that.
Joaquin Neiman is another good example, but none of the goats did that.
None of the goats in my study released the club anywhere near like what Dustin Johnson did.
They all released it with their hands rotating over a ton.
And again, when you look at the data, That's the big swoop that you see in the graph that the hack motion shows you is just how much rotation is in the swing.
Notice how Tiger's hands, you can actually see a little gap between his hands here where you can see sky behind him.
He's rotated his hands over so much.
And a lot of golfers don't understand.
And I'll pull them to a follow through here just so you can see again, just how similar their swing patterns are.
They release the club in nearly identical ways, end up in nearly identical positions.
And that's what's so amazing about the data on the hack motion is because now you effectively have Tiger Woods secret.
You know exactly how he's moving his hands throughout the entire golf swing.
And as I mentioned, it's not just Tiger.
All the greats release the club the same way.
And the reason this is so important for you is that it takes all the stress off the body.
Your wrists can release so fast and your body really doesn't have to do much.
Look at Bobby Jones.
Once he's set up here, it's all hand speed.
It's all just wrists.
It's all in the way he's releasing the hands.
Look at his wrists there.
Look at how most any golfer today would look at that and say, Oh my gosh, that's such a huge flip.
He's a horrible golfer.
It's one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game.
And when you see just how much rotation is happening in the hands, that takes a tremendous amount of stress off the body.
As long as you understand how to get this pattern to work, like the Greats did.
So that you can take all the stress off your body and understand how to square the club up properly.
Here's another goat, Arnold Palmer.
Arnold Palmer was known for having kind of a bowed left wrist at the top.
And now watch, watch his hands cross over.
Look at that.
The logo of his glove on his left hand is almost pointing down at the ground.
Look at how much his right hand is crossed over there.
That's rotation.
What about young Jack Nicklaus?
Watch his left hand disappear shortly after he strikes the ball.
Gone.
Right hand's already covering it.
It's all rotation.
Sam Snead.
What do you think he did with his hands?
Let's watch that logo or watch that white on his glove.
Boom.
Gone.
Hands rotated over.
Now you can see the knuckles on the other side.
He's rotated his hands over so much.
Now here's one that might surprise you.
What about one of the straightest hitters of all time?
Look at Mo Norman's hands.
Look at how much rotation is happening through the strike and into the follow through.
So now let me show you how to actually use this.
You can see the numbers up in the corner.
You can see I'm moving my left hand where the hack motion is.
And you can see it's changing in real time as I'm sitting here doing this video.
It's very cool.
I'm going to show you how to use this feedback in just a moment, with auditory feedback to show you how to match up your patterns.
To begin to understand just how little their hands and wrists really move in the swing.
So I've got Oleson's benchmark data up here with the six iron.
I'm swinging a six iron.
His data is the dash line.
Mine's a solid line.
So what you'll see is that at address, you know, we're in ranges that are relatively similar.
And then as we go through, and again, it's not so important that you match up.
There's many different tour pros data in here.
It's not so much understand like matching somebody exactly.
It's getting yourself in the ballpark because I promise you most likely when you first get on this, you're going to see that your data doesn't look anywhere near what the tour pros do.
And that's what's really helpful and really understanding what's happening at impact.
So you can see at impact, we both have negative seven degrees of extension.
That's the top number there.
That's just how much our wrist is bowed.
It's bowed the exact same amount at impact.
And you can see the amount of rotation that we have.
That's the purple line, the amount deviation.
I'm going to talk more about that in a little bit, But the goal is to understand is get yourself in the ballpark because you're going to see that your patterns are probably going to be wildly different.
You're going to realize that you're moving your hands 10 times more than what the tour pros do.
And that was definitely the revelation for me is that my hands and wrists were moving way more than the tour pros, even though I, you know, I'm a very good golfer.
I'm a plus handicap and I've been playing like that that way for a long time, But seeing how great top or how little top ball strikers move their hands is what's so amazing about this.
But what I want to really show you is how to train with this.
So if I get out of the screen and I go to audio feedback, I can set the parameters.
Now you can hear it making noise when I get outside of range of where I want to be.
So like you can see, let's just focus on the left-hand side, the top left hand.
You can see I'm in six degrees of extension and more and more and more.
And when I move out of that range, the audio tone disappears.
When I'm in that range, I'm good.
Same thing with deviation.
If I do too much, if I cock my wrist too much, the auditory tone disappears.
That's what's so amazing with this, because now I can have this playing while I'm making an actual golf swing.
And as soon as I make a mistake, I lose that auditory tone.
So now I know, And I can set all the parameters to be what I want them to be, based on what I'm trying to do with my hands and the swing.
So this is truly the best feedback device I've ever seen.
And it's so cool that you can actually use this, not only when you're practicing at home on your own, but on the course, if nobody's around, hopefully you can have that audio playing.
And when you get out of range at the top of the swing at impact, whatever, you'll know immediately.
And so that you can see that you can get yourself in the range of the best players in the world by using this device, by knowing exactly what you're doing and how to get yourself into that position using the feedback.
So this little device, you can wear it all the time.
You can capture those great shots you hit on the course.
When you don't realize what you did, you will literally know with the data, when I hit my best shots, when I smoke those shots that feel like effortless, you'll know exactly what do with your hands because you can actually wear this on the course.
And they make a clip that you can clip it to your glove.
I'm just using the one that goes around your hand, but it doesn't bother me, but they make two different clips for it.
But the key is really understanding in the big eye opener is how little the Tour pros are really moving their wrists.
And when you look at most amateur golfers, they're kind of all over the place, especially the higher the handicap, the more your hands are going to move.
What, Where this is going to make the biggest difference is understanding how little your hands are really going to move.
And so this first member video that I'm going to do is all about understanding, extension and flexion.
Really, this is bowing and cupping your wrists.
And since so many golfers cup and scoop and flip and get cupped at the top and leave the face wide open, This first video is going to be the most important one because it's going to show you what the hands are really doing throughout the swing, how little they're doing in order to be really consistent, and how to get the feeling for this, so that you understand how to get the wrist and to move into a proper position impact.
Because if you're trying to bow your wrist too soon, What you'll find is that your wrists are going to run out of room coming down, and you're going to start scooping and flipping at the bottom.
It's going to force you to.
What the data shows is that the tour players who release the club like the goats, release the club like tiger, they're actually maintaining extension way longer than you think.
So that's what this first video is going to be about.
This is going to be such an eye opener for so many of you.
If you've struggled to get a flat left wrist, and if you struggle to shallow out the club, we're going to talk about that as well, because I'm going to show you in this other video about how to get into that goat delivery position, because that is the difference between swinging this way and out over the top, and how all the goats get into this delivery position, so that you can hit the ball from the inside and release the club properly.
So I've also, for all of you watching this video, I've gotten a $50 discount off the Hack Motion Pro.
It's 5% off that version or any of the other versions.
If you click the link down, I'll pin it in the comments below, because this is a device, probably the only training aid right now that I'm aware of, that truly can make a revolutionary difference in your ball striking.
