Golfmos, started bowing lead wrist and supinating lead forearm on downswing
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 26th, 2024 2:28 PM Author: t14 Holy shit my iron striking is on another level. The ball now launches like 1-2 tiers higher in the air than before
Also watched some chipping video by Dan Grieve on the 3 different chip releases (although the 3rd is really a flop shot) and kind of figured it out now
Still can't putt uphill/downhill or correctly read any breaks |

what does this mean |

Date: September 26th, 2024 2:38 PM Author: t14 A flexed lead wrist means the wrist is slightly bowed or flat at the top of the backswing. This position helps to keep the clubface square or slightly closed, which is ideal for most players looking to hit straighter or more powerful shots.A bowed/flexed wrist also helps create a more stable and structured position at the top, increasing the ability to maintain lag and deliver power on the downswing.
VS a bent or cupped lead wrist (where the back of the left wrist angles away from the forearm) which opens the clubface, making it harder to square the club at impact (ie, inconsistent contact, slices or weak shots).
(See Dustin Johnson or Jon Rahm, who utilize slightly flexed or bowed lead wrist at the top of the backswing to promote a strong, square clubface at impact.)
Supinating the left wrist on downswing and through impact also helps square the club face, increases power by delofting the club head at last second, and promotes a stronger release since your right arm can naturally straighten from this position
This was Hogan's #1 most important tip from his 5 simple rules

Hogan lead wrist/forearm supination on downswing technique was revolutionary to professional golf in a similar way that Galfond's range theory revolutionized professional high limits NLHE cash poker

I just wanna go out w a bro and hit some balls maybe talk a little shit |

Date: September 29th, 2024 2:58 PM Author: t14 Nah you shouldn't be this fixated on it
I'm abnormally ocd because I discovered golf late in life and I'm trying to max out my progression on a faster timeline |

Date: September 26th, 2024 2:42 PM Author: Judas Jones Shouldn't launch be lower if you are now delivering a more closed club face where it was previously open? Or do you mean total height of your shot, not launch angle? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5601846&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310764",#48134808) |

Date: September 26th, 2024 2:43 PM Author: t14 Yeah you're right I meant total height. Like the ball keeps flying higher at a distance where it used to begin its descent (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5601846&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310764",#48134813) |

Date: September 26th, 2024 2:48 PM Author: Judas Jones It's so 180 when you get a piercing rising ball flight, instead of weak impotent pisswyrm ones from casting the club and delivering too much loft at impact (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5601846&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310764",#48134833) |

Date: September 26th, 2024 2:58 PM Author: t14 That's why I feel like a god at the range. Doing it on slopes and weird lies or through trees, under pressure etc is another story
I've heard that seeing PGA guys iron flight on tour is unreal, even the unknowns, and makes normal guys feel impotent about their puny flight once they put it in perspective |

Date: September 26th, 2024 2:46 PM Author: t14 I also caved in and bought the Stack System with the $50 off promo and 10% off the new Stack radar. What convinced me is that Stack's radar auto-syncs with the app so you don't have to spend any time inputting data. Seems to be an idiot proof way to guarantee a faster swing in 1-2 months.

Date: September 29th, 2024 2:07 PM Author: .,.,....,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,..;,.., you really are overthinking shit and buying too many gadgets. just learn how to play the game. practice on the course.

Date: September 29th, 2024 2:40 PM Author: t14 You're probably right. I look at it as overthinking when I don't have a club in my hand, with the goal of repeating the same swing mindlessly when I'm playing a round
Eg, I just discovered on my own that the key to chipping an accurate target/distance, which nobody tells you, is being completely loose and relaxed in setup. Thinking makes your muscles tight which is diametrically opposed to staying loose
I don't use any training gadgets now besides launch monitor |
