A "New" Swing Thought - What Do You Think?

[MiuraMan]

This video popped up in the recommended list on you tube today. I have no clue who the presenter is, but he is presenting a new "swing thought" to help those golfers who hit from the top/flip at the bottom etc.

Watch it and let us know your thoughts/impressions.

Hmm, lots of theories that aren't that different than what he is stating. Martin Ayers called his "bow and crossbow". Martin also loved long hard to stay focused on youtube videos. (I admit to skipping around on this one)

He is wrong when he says it is on plane here

That clubface is WIDE open and unless he compensates, a slice, push, mostly bad things will happen. His lead wrist is in cupped. Yuck!

The golf swing has so many things going on. Much of what he is saying is good stuff, however, I think other instructors do a better job simplifying it. Shorter videos that taken as a whole are better for consumption.

Good points. I think the split-hands drill is a good alternative to what is presented above. Many examples on you tube. Here's one

Handy stuff to know if you find yourself playing golf in a Fallout game.
