I interviewed former World Long Drive Champ (1992) Monte Schienblum and he told me the move he used to hit his winning drive 23 years ago, a move that he is still using today to get 126+ mph of CHS at age 48. He also he some balls on the flight scope for the camera. Part of a new Driver series I am filming.

Basically he feels that he is dumping the right wrist angle as hard as possible from the top. The body then speeds up to match this, this has really helped my irons and a different move has helped my driving.

I think you guys will enjoy it.

Good one, I enjoy everything Monte has to say, he's one of the best golf guys on the Tube IMO.

This seems to be the one move Monte likes to teach.-Thing is if you tell a bunch of people to throw the right wrist their bodies will NOT speed up and they'll flip the snot out of it. Bill please post more than just your own videos for promo here.-Right now you seem like the personal promo guy for Monte. Do you know that the guys who run this site are pretty good too?

I was kind of wondering about this. . .

Monte quite clearly states in other videos that he has told 'a bunch' of people to try this and not one of them did manage to flip it it, so just cos you don't like the message doesnt mean its BS. And so what if Bill wants to 'promote' Monte. He's a great teacher and good teachers should be promoted, instead of ones spewing the usual cliched drivel that doesn't actually help...but my guess is you prefer the cliches.

I asked five students to try this. All of them flipped it. They were flippers before, so in comparing their flips (by measuring the amount of shaft lean or the location of their hands), four flipped more. One flipped about the same. One guy flipped so much he missed the ball (the clubhead was ascending over the ball).

Now, that's not enough for me to state categorically that it's "bad advice" or anything even half as strong as that… but it is enough, combined with my own experience, to say that I don't have any immediate plans to begin using it in my instruction.

You are pretty new here, but I can say unequivocally that @Phil McGleno has never struck me as that type. In fact, part of the reason many people seem to regard him as a grump (sorry, Phil) is that he rebuffs clichés gruffly.

I know Monte has a following and is probably a good instructor but this is really bad advice for 99% of golfers.

I watched this video awhile ago and was really hoping that I'd get something great out of it, but... I have to say, as a former flipper (every once in awhile a flip creeps in, but mostly I've just about fixed it I think), that quite literally the advice that made me stop flipping was to not throw my right wrist. After I finally learned and saw that the "release" should be a rotation style move (or at least, that's my feel), I'm doing so much better.

I like lots of Monte's videos, but this video unfortunately was not the gem that I was looking for, as the title made it sound like :(

I am about to show my ignorance and ask, what exactly do you mean by "flipping"?

The club head gets ahead of your arms and body at or before impact. See Erik's post above.

For a right hander, the right wrist overtakes the left wrist - the right wrist is fully released and the left wrist is bent forward (back of left wrist is looking at the sky) at impact so the clubhead is ahead of the hands at impact at varying degrees depending on the extent of the "flip."

Just to add to what @Lihu and @Mr. Desmond said.

Left pic would be flipping. Lining the lead arm and shaft up before impact.

thanks...and when you flip what does it cause the ball to do when you make contact, i.e. ball goes left, right, up, etc?

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
