When I say "as one" I mean should you rotate them both at the same speed, so that they both will match up in their rotation on the backswing? Reason I ask is because since the spine can rotate more than the hips, should the spine be rotated more quickly - or should you rotate them at the same pace, then when the hips reaches it's limit, keep rotating the spine until it turns 90* while the hips stay in the fixed position Here's a pic of what I mean, you can see his spine is rotated far more than his hips, because the hips have reached their limit

Does More Bend in the Trail Arm Increase Power?

I haven't made one yet, will see if I can get a video later -
Does More Bend in the Trail Arm Increase Power?
KevinBlake replied to KevinBlake's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Both, I'd like to know if there's biomechanical advantages in having the hands higher at the top of the swing and if that was the case I'd see if I could incorporate it into mine & if it would be suitable -
I'm watching this video where it mentions that dechambeau switched to having more bend in his trail arm during the backswing, which has stopped him from being on a one plane swing Is he's correct in saying that this results in more power? Would there be any disadvantages in increasing the bend in the trail arm during the backswing, so it's no longer a one plane swing, eg would it reduce consistency of hitting the ball flush? https://youtu.be/S8dkDx8YVkI?t=332

Using Your Knees to Rotate Hips?
KevinBlake replied to KevinBlake's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
A better way to say it would be using the leg to push the hip, here's a video of what I mean he's referring to the downswing but am I right in saying for the backswing should you do something similar, where you use your leg to push the hip rather than just trying to get the hip to turn clockwise -
At the moment I turn my hips by rotating my pelvis clockwise, but would it be better to rotate your hips by lowering your left knee, causing the right hip to rotate backwords? Or is this an inferior method to using your pelvis to rotate your hips? Reason I ask is because when I use my pelvis I often experience reverse pivot of my upper spine at the end of the backswing, because my pelvis isn't rotating straight across when I reach the end of the backswing, I'm shifting it which is putting it out of line, causing the upper spine to go out of line

Question About Toe Up at Address for Irons

Even people with a one plane swing? -
Question About Toe Up at Address for Irons
KevinBlake replied to KevinBlake's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
So it's not the position of your hands that affect how much your toe should be up at address, it's just your swing speed and the material the shaft is made from? I had seen it mentioned that hand position was the most important thing for this but maybe it's wrong -
Question About Toe Up at Address for Irons
KevinBlake posted a topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
If your hands are high up at both address & impact, should your iron address position be toe up or flush with the ground? -
It was mentioned here in 2016 that they were 73.5* https://www.golfwrx.com/368898/bryson-dechambeau-gaming-single-length-cobra-irons/ And from looking at this 2018 picture his back is very straight, so i'd take it he was still using about 73.5* lie angle then https://i.imgur.com/wqMKAVz.png but in 2021 his back looks more bent over https://i.imgur.com/Woe5v4S.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TLs66Vr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/u7ZwnVM.png does this mean he's probably changed his clubs lie angle to something lower, E.g. 70*? Or maybe he just bends over the ball more, but keeps his wrists in the same ulnar deviation, so that he doesn't need to change the lie angle of the club?
-
When you say "more vertical at setup" is they caused by using a higher lie angle on the irons, or something else? He mentioned he uses 73 degree lie angle but that was from around 2018, while.the video is from 2020, maybe he lowered them? Or if not, what else can cause you to be more vertical at setup?
-
I'm watching this video and he mentions "he got himself a little more out onto the front of his feet" and "he's got himself more centred in to back of his feet" in the other comparison https://youtu.be/S8dkDx8YVkI?t=242 Does that mean he puts more weight on the front of his feet than the back? One more question: how do you create more space for the right arm during impact as mentioned here? He's more tipped over which allows this , I think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8dkDx8YVkI?t=280 Would reducing how much your right forearm can rotate clockwise help with this, duringthe end of your backswing?
-
I wonder if the reason his approach shots from 100 yards in are poor is because the longer club length causing extra clubhead speed is unsuited to the wedges, he mentioned before the ball has a habit of running up the face and delivering variable outcomes with these high loft clubs at faster clubhead speeds
-
his wedge game is woefully short in relation to his world ranking. Plus Bryson is tied in sand saves for 201st on the tour, with -hy do you think that is? One reason I can think of is his jumbo grips are taking the feel out of his pitch & chip shots

Why Is Pitching More Difficult With Longer Shafts?
KevinBlake replied to KevinBlake's topic in Golf Talk
I planned on getting single length clubs which would make my wedges a few inches longer than normal I've been looking into brysons game since he uses single length clubs and it seems his weaknesd is his pitching game, and a lot of the time when he pitched he had an upright stance (unless when he'd gripping down on the club) Could his upright posture be related to his weakness in pitch shots? -
Why Is Pitching More Difficult With Longer Shafts?
KevinBlake replied to KevinBlake's topic in Golf Talk
When you say "short game shots are played over the ball (or the ball closer to the body)" do you mean that it wouldn't be the same height as your feet - so most of the time you'd be playing on uneven ground for short game shots, which is more difficult the longer the shaft is? Is there an advantage is having a faster swing speed for short game shots [eg pitching,chipping, bump & run, knockdown, etc] , or is it really only an advantage in your long game [long irons-driver]? -
I hear that pitching using longer clubs makes it more difficult, why exactly does longer shafts make it more difficult? Eg dechambeau is pretty average on pitch shots compared to the rest of his game which could be down to him using longer shafts for these shots

One Club for All Pitch Shots or Various Clubs?
KevinBlake replied to KevinBlake's topic in Golf Talk
Thanks, one more question: what situations would you recommend using a pitch shot instead of a chip shot - would it just be when you don't want the ball to roll much? -
Would you recommend practising pitch shots with various clubs [eg 7 iron upwards] or would you stick to playing pitch shots with a single club, would there be an advantage in learning to do pitch shots with various clubs?

I plan on using a vice on a cheap club to change its lie, but im not sure what type of angle finder I should use with it, theres a few different variations like you can see here https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Ol0AAOSwoRpcUnPH/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/RRwAAOSwmuBfVPKM/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/UZ4AAOSwSKtaWOg6/s-l1600.jpg https://www.stakesys.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/a/f/af2_1.jpg i know it’d be better to get it done professionally but ill be changing the lie angle by 10 degrees and the pros wont do that

Are Short Hybrids Inferior to Longer Ones?
KevinBlake posted a topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I use single length clubs and was planning on getting a a hybrid that was around 38”, but ive read on a page from 2017that said “Tom Wishon mention its a design issue and you would lose considerable distance” – is this true, or have they fixed it since then?
