So as you saw in the intro video, there's relatively very little wrist cock in a lot of modern players' swings.
They're not getting their speed from having a lot of wrist angle.
And as you're using the hack motion, Don't think that you've got to get it exactly the same as what you see in Olsen's data or any of the other tour player data.
You'll see variances from one tour player to the next, but what you'll see overall is a benchmark and consistency in terms of what they're doing overall.
What I want you to understand is how little you need to cock your wrist and still have power in the swing.
And, And.
And.
And.
And, And.
And.
And.
The reason this is so important is because one of the biggest problems that most golfers struggle with is they overswing.
And they cock this wrist a lot.
thinking, well, that's going to get me a lot more power because I've got all this angle in my wrist.
And it's true.
If you could time that up well and get rid of that in time, you would have a lot of power.
But the trick is once you cup the wrist to get all this extra wrist cock, or this is radial deviation in the hack motion terminology, medical terminology, and this is ulnar deviation.
So when you're thinking about your wrist cocking or uncocking, that's radial deviation and that's ulnar deviation.
So as you go to the top and you get all this wrist cock that opens the face, and I see this all the time in lessons where golfers come down like this, the face is wide open, the clip face is pointing up toward the sky, the wrist is still cupped, and then they're trying to scoop and save it at the bottom.
This is what I want you to not do, and that's why this is so useful.
And even if you don't have a hack motion, you can still get the idea of just cocking your wrist from here to here.
That's it.
But what's cool with the hack motion is that you can use it to give yourself auditory feedback so that you can hear when you start to cock your wrist too much.
If you're the type of golfer who goes to the top, has a really long swing, is making a big turn and really, really struggle with consistency, use this to set yourself up for success because it's going to make your life so much easier.
Okay.
So I'm going to show you using the hack motion, how to set up auditory feedback.
And if you want to use Oleson as a benchmark data, that's going to be great.
So go into audio feedback, immediate, we'll do owner and radial deviation, and you can use his ranges.
Again, don't worry about getting this perfect.
Get this as just an idea in your head as to where you kind of need to be in the range of this.
And if you're plus or minus 20%, it's totally fine.
So now, and I'm going to set up the minimums and the maximums.
So if you use Oleson as a benchmark, his range is from negative 37 to negative 11.
That's where you want to practice.
And you can hear the moment that I get outside of that, the screen not only turns red, but it starts to, I lose the audio.
So the way I practice with this is on the ground, I have my phone sitting down there and then I'll, I can see the green, the big bright green screen saying like, okay, I'm in range.
And then I can also hear at the moment, I go too much owner deviation address.
So I kind of, if I stand up kind of goofy like this, that's a lot more owner deviation.
Once I get in the range, I'm good there.
So I can see the screen going green, I can hear the audio feedback.
And then as I go back to the top, what I'm trying to feel is when I start to want to do that.
So if I have a tendency, if you have a tendency to go back and then you start to really set those risks, you're going to lose the audio feedback and you're going to lose the visual feedback.
So you have both with the hack motion.
But if I keep my wrist nice and wide, as I go back and I add a little bit more rotation, I can keep that going all the way through.
So use that as, use this tool because it's super, super helpful to both see it and hear it.
When you start to go off, if you set your wrist really early, or if you set your wrist too much and then you cup that wrist and you get too much, you get the face too open, that's what you want to start to use this for.
And, of course, you can use the auditory feedback for if you have a tendency to bow your wrist too much.
Going back and get the club face really shut.
Or you can use it if you tend to cup your wrist too much at the top.
You can set up parameters for that as well.
Now, depending on how you want to release the club and what you want to feel in your swing, There are two basic fields that are going to help you understand what to do with your hands to the hitting area.
Once you have the basics of how much, your wrist should stay in, extension throughout the swing and slightly bow at the end, and how much wrist cock you should have.
So once you kind of have the idea that this whole thing stays pretty constant throughout most of the swing, and if you're the type of golfer that's used to having a ton of wrist cock, this is going to feel wildly different for you.
But then you're going to need to understand, well, if I don't have all this wrist cock for power, where do I get all my speed?
And there's two basic ways that you're going to feel this in your swing, whether you want to be lead side dominant or trail side dominant.
I'm going to talk about both of those.
If you're lead side dominant and you want to use that pulling motion and you like to have a little bit more body rotation, speed and feel.
That club really whip through and love, that kind of passive feeling of the club really ripping through, impact and your hands being relatively soft, that is going to feel more like a backhand in ping pong, as I talked about in a previous video.
It's the old frisbee drill that I've had for many, many years.
That feeling will get you the rotational speed that you need in your hands to get the speed when you take out so much wrist cock.
Because if you don't have this lever in your swing, you've got to make up for this loss of potential energy somewhere in the swing.
So you see these guys like Scotty Scheffler who are like this at the top, where are they getting all that speed?
Well, of course it's coming through rotation of the forearms.
That's where that speed's coming from.
But you can also have body rotation, and you'll see that in the golf swings like Dustin Johnson and Joaquin Neiman.
But there's always, there's middle ground for all of these.
You know, Dustin Johnson and Joaquin Neiman are very extreme examples of a really shut wrist and a shut face and bowed wrist, and a lot of body rotation.
You don't have to take it to that extreme.
You can still be lead side dominant, use your body and get that club to rip through and to get the speed, to get enough rotational speed.
You're going to feel your hand do this because it's no longer just trying to do this.
What so many golfers do.
They cock their wrists a lot and then they throw the club because the club face is open coming down.
You sense that.
So you know the ball's going right.
So you try and get rid of all this wrist angle.
And of course it leads you to scoop and flip at impact.
Instead, you want to feel this to where that wrist is barely moving.
You're going to have very little radial deviation going back.
You're going to keep this wrist basically in a slight amount of extension all the way back.
And then as you come down, as you come down to release, feel your hand turn over quickly.
And so you want to feel the club being able to release very quickly as you rotate over.
And then use that, Use the hack motion if you have one to see if you're starting to match up with that rotational speed.
Now, if you're more trail side dominant, the feeling is going to be a little bit different.
And this is more what Tiger and Oleson do in their swings.
They are much more right hand, trail hand dominant.
And so they use their arm, their trail arm more for power.
Whereas Dustin Johnson, you know, he's using a lot more body rotational speed.
Either one obviously can work and produce great results.
It's what you want to feel in your swing.
I think it's easier for most players to use their dominant hand.
If you learn how to use it correctly, The problem with the dominant hand for most golfers being right handed is they try to use their body to try and get that club to go out.
And because it feels really good, it feels really powerful to go to the top and then start turning right away.
But of course, when you look at somebody like Tiger, who's very right hand dominant, his shoulders are actually shut at impact.
So he's not struggling with the club and his hands going out this way.
And that's the first thing you've got to understand.
If you're going to be more trail side dominant, that what you need to feel is this arm working, not so much your body.
It's the opposite of a lead side dominant swing.
When you're lead side, you don't have a lot of muscle in your left arm.
And because your left arm is staying straight, you can't really pull that hard with just the arm to produce any power.
I see some golfers who are left handed try and do it, but then of course the club doesn't release correctly at all.
So what you see instead is people who are lead side dominant, they use a little bit more body rotation to help sling the arm and club through the hitting area.
Trail side golfer is the opposite.
You actually need to calm your body down, quiet it down and get your arm to move much more quickly.
So if you want to be more trail side dominant and still get that rotational speed that you see in the hack motion data, where the club face and the hands are rotating over very quickly, if I rotate my body hard, You'll see, the club face is not going to want to rotate because I'm pushing it through with my right arm.
Now, if I pull through with my left, I can snap that club over very quickly and I can get a ton of rotational speed in my hands to get that club to release very quickly.
But when I go right side dominant, if I try and do that, the club does this.
And so if you're right side dominant, you're wanting to use your right hand much more like tiger does.
The last thing on earth you want to do is go to the top and start rotating.
Because where does my hands go?
They have no choice but to move out toward the target line.
So if I'm wanting to be right hand dominant, I can't be dominating with my body too.
I get to, I have to choose one or the other.
So now as I come down, if I'm going to be swinging more right arm dominant, The feeling is that I'm working this right arm down very quickly and my body is reacting and responding to that.
And it's really just trying to provide a stable base for this.
So then as I come down to my right arms in GDP or the goat delivery position, as my body's not trying to turn through, I'm actually releasing my hands.
And that's where I get the rotational speed of the club.
So there's two very different ways to release the club and still show the same data on the hack motion.
One's going to be lead side dominant.
One's going to be trail side dominant.
As I think again, it's easier for most golfers to learn more of a trail side dominant swing trail arm, as long as you're comfortable, not trying to rip your body open.
You may have to train yourself to do that.
But again, if you're wanting to swing lead side dominant, that actually works great.
You want to rip your body open because you need that speed to come from your body.
And then you're going to feel that backhand lash that you hear a lot of the old school golfers talk about.
But the modern players, much more trail side dominant, much more trail arm, and it's much more of a throwing motion with the body providing more of a stable base.
Now let's talk about what I call my guilty pleasure drill, Because as a golfer who's always tried to use a little bit more body and quieter hands throughout my swing, It's different for me to swing this way and get a lot of rotational speed because I've always been very quiet with my hands.
But one of the great golfers out there now, Jon Rahm, Has been taught since he was a kid to try and produce as much speed as he can from as short of the backswing as he can.
Now, of course, you can see that in his swing.
The backswing is incredibly short, yet he still produces 180 miles an hour ball speed.
So how great would it be to only swing back to here and then still be able to produce that kind of speed?
As you can imagine, you can't do that from just trying to turn your body.
If you're going to make this short of a backswing like Rahm does a lot of times, you can't just turn your body.
It's not going to move the club fast enough.
So where does he get that speed?
It's from the rotation of his hands.
His hands are rotating so quickly.
The club face is rotating so quickly to get through the ball, to get all that speed, that you have to get a feel for what this is really doing in the swing and how to do it.
And so this is what I call the rhombo drill, because it allows you to be really aggressive.
In fact, you have to be really aggressive.
And if you're not used to using your hands in the golf swing, this will be a really foreign, but a really fun drill for you.
And whether you want to be lead side or trail side down, it doesn't matter.
You're going to feel the same thing.
And so all you're going to do is go back and you're going to, and if you're going to, if you're using a hack motion, you'll keep your extension and radial deviation very quiet and then make a short backswing.
And then from here, you can see if I just try to turn my body, there's just not really going to be anything there.
So how would I get speed from here?
So I'm going to set my wrist just a little bit, then I'm going to get a lot of rotational speed.
I'm going to be throwing the club head at the ball.
So you can see, even with a very short swing, I can get a lot of speed and a lot of rotational speed, Getting that club head to really throw versus trying to kind of turn through and drag the club through.
So if you've not used your hands very aggressively in the swing, this is a great way to get that feel of making a very short, short backswing, as short as you can keep your wrist wide.
So we're going to have very little radial deviation, make a wide arm swing and then get the speed from that short stroke.
So I'll do a few of these and show you that you can produce a lot of speed with your hands without having to work that hard with your body.
In fact, My body's really just kind of staying quiet, and I'm just trying to get all of this rotational speed through my hands.
This drill will feel very strange for you.
If you're used to kind of dragging the club through, or you've just not really had any speed in your golf swing, get that speed from your hands, get a rotational throw from your hands and get that.
If you're lead side dominant, feel that back of that left hand really lash through.
If you're wanting to be more trail side, feel your hands rotate over almost like you're, you know, loosening a screw with a screwdriver.
It's this rotation of your hand where that speed is coming from.
And you can see if I, just by doing this, the club head is moving from one side of the ball all the way to the others, moving six, seven, eight feet, all with just my hands.
Now, The trick to doing this with a really short swing is what Tiger talked about in that swing video or in the intro video, you've got to hold onto the club tight.
So if you're used to being really soft with your hands, that works great if you're using a lot of body rotation.
If you're using a lot of body rotation speed, your hands and arms can be relatively very soft.
If you're not using a lot of body rotation, then you've got to make that club accelerate.
And that's easiest to do with your trail arm.
You've got all of the speed available to you in the way that the muscles are loaded and oriented compared to just pulling with the back of your left arm.
There's not much power available to you there at all.
And so for those of you who did the Tiger challenge, you will find out that by going back really kind of low and slow and trying to make this big, powerful turn, by the time you got to the top of the backswing, he was already at impact or even his follow through.
And I saw a couple of you who had sent me videos that each swing got better and better and better.
And you realized you had to swing quicker and to swing quicker, you've got to hold onto the club tighter.
And that is completely contrarian to so much golf instruction that's been said over the years by many of the greats, from Ben Hogan to Sam Snead, you name it.
Most golfers talk about holding onto the club very light.
And that works too, especially if you're going to let the body kind of sling the club through, then you get that nice passive quick release by in the softer you keep your hands, the faster that club releases.
In Tiger's case, it's not doing that.
Modern players aren't doing that.
They're holding onto the club much more firmly and they're making a short and aggressive swing with that dominant hand.
And that's what you can see in the hack motion data, see that much rotational velocity in their hands.
So, and again, if you see so little radial deviation in the swing, that speed's got to come from somewhere.
And so the only way to do that again is to use your hands.
So this is a fun drill.
This, This, This, This This, This, This, This is.
The point of this is to really learn how to produce speed in a really short stroke and to be active with your right hand.
If you're used to not doing that, this is going to feel very strange, but you'll get used to the feeling of being a little bit firmer with the grip.
Remember Tiger always has that piece of tape on his right middle finger.
If you're holding onto the club soft, you'll never ever get a callus there.
But if you're holding onto the club firmly, with those these two middle fingers in your right hand, and squeezing the club a little bit more tightly, you can be very short, very quick, very aggressive.
And that allows you to produce a lot of speed in a very short swing.
So if you're trying to be more trail arm dominant, this is a great way to get really aggressive with your hands, get that feeling of that rotation, use the hack motion data to see where you match up.
And I'd love to see some videos of you guys do more of the Tiger Challenge, because it really does help you understand that if you're just kind of slow and lackadaisical, you're never ever going to swing like any of these modern players.
But as you hold onto the club a little bit more firmly, you make a shorter stroke, less wrist cock, less movement of the lead wrist, keeping it nice and quiet, a short backswing, and then be aggressive with that throw on the way down.
And you will pick up a ton of speed and feel control in your trail hand.
