Coaching-Team, at first: thanks a lot.

Robin H · · Germany
Dear Coaching-Team, at first: thanks a lot. Great content. my main question ist regarding left or right side dominance: What are the main differences? are these feelings or also reality? do you see different speeds, like hand speeds? I watched the videos and this is what I unterstand: right side earlier and higher hand speed? left side, more pulling,stretching? later explosion? left side dominance, in general more hip speed and more rotation? is the release the same? or different? maybe there is a video which explains all differences? my strong hand is right, but my strong leg is left. I also posted a video from my swing. I'm a long drive professional and wanted to know what my dominance is, or whether long drivers use both sides? thanks for your help Best regards Robin

Hello Robin. We do have a few videos talking about this topic whether you should be left or right. However, I will save you the trouble. You should go with right side dominance after watching your move and what your goals are distance wise. The right side will produce greater hand speed and combined with your lead leg motion I would 100% go that route. You have a great move similar to a lot of baseball players in my Unlimited Group. No reason you can't keep the accelerator moving forward on your mechanics. Without seeing a Face On I am a bit limited. But, I think we can get some more speed by correcting the transition a hair because you do start to work you arms a little too much coming down which is a tiny bit why you get a chicken wing. There may be some lateral issues from the Face On but you are well on your way. Both sides will be working in the swing but only one can be the main controller.
