Great explanation, thanks
Fantastic again Dan.
The idea of "swing plane" is probably the biggest hinderance to the average golfer. Before they knew anything about it, they were fine, but as soon as they attempt to create a "swing plane" it's slice city.
Another detriment is that the average golfer falsely believes that the shortest route from the top down to the ball will also be the fastest and therefore hit the ball farthest, but the opposite is actually true. They're thinking is completely wrong. Example: In an auto race of a 1/4 mile a car will be moving much slower than at a 1/2 mile, therefore the golfer should actually be thinking of taking the LONGEST route back down to the ball in order to have the time to build as much speed as possible before reaching the ball. Your device THE PRO teaches this but I doubt anyone realizes it. With THE PRO you can't cut the corner and force the cylinder onto the ball, you have to lead it all the way around the track a.k.a. the long way down. And that track is a spiral staircase …
This concept of trajectory is so complicated!
Dan, the model of the spiral staircase is interesting and unique to your channel. How would someone add greater speed if they are at the mercy of waiting on gravity to accelerate the club head downwards? I have swung your pro and the sensation is spot on.
You are an out of box thinker Dan Martin.
We all know, that the golf swing is like a car crash, ie the car stops and the passengers fly through the windscreen.
Remember thatTigers arms are decelerating into impact.
Conversely the amateurs arms are accelerating into impact.
The faster the arms move, the slower the clubhead goes.
We need to talk more about the braking systems in the golf swing.
Tigers arms stop at p4ie transition and then catapulted to P5, with the clubhead lagging behind.
The arms then decelerate to P7 impact, with the clubhead accelerating.
We need to talk more about these braking / acceleration / deceleration systems!!!!
Semantics
nice coach Dan.
I think a more simple explanation would be to say that one needs to match rotational acceleration to gravitational acceleration. Then again maybe thats just as hard for those who were never physics students. Love your stuff but maybe needs more 4th grade physics for a lot of people. Maybe just say "turn at exactly the rate the club is falling?" It is hard to simplify for sure.
So excellent explanation. And I can tell you it works!
Finally understand how the up/down mixes with the around. The visual of going down a spiral staircase banister helps me, vs the image I have had of the inclined hula hoop (explanar).
I have heard the golf swing is the arms club going up and down and blending with the body's rotation but I fail to understand or visualise it. And it seems to not explain the needed sling of the left arm off the chest.
Which relates to 1 question I have always struggled with, how does the clubhead swing outwards to the ball / target line (from a down the line view) from p6 when just before p6 the clubhead was behind and above the hands.
Thanks
