Why You Need This: In this video, you'll discover how to start your downswing in golf.

What's really cool about this video is that it features MySwing 3D training...

Which is a series of 17 sensors that creates a 3D avatar and can measure a ton of different things in my swing.

For this video, you'll get a close look at The Move in the Top Speed Golf System.

This is essentially when the club path shallows in the downswing.

This allows the club to accelerate in the downswing naturally using it's own momentum.

Another part of The Move is bowing the left wrist and closing the clubface.

Getting the clubface to square up earlier means you don't have to release as hard and struggle with timing issues.

Next in the video, you'll see my 3D avatar in action.

You'll see how the club shallows in the downswing, and you'll get a great look at how the clubface squares up in the downswing.

Watch this video now to get a closeup look at The Move using MySwing technology.

You'll clearly see the swing moves that are tough to see with normal video!

Hey, great to have you back here again. We’re continuing our series of videos here with MySwing, which is my sensors. 17 sensors I can hook up all over my body. It gives me a 3D avatar and I can measure all hundreds of different things in my swing.

We’re going to talk about how this fits in with the Top Speed Golf System, and specifically in today’s video, how this fits in with The Move and shallowing out that club.

To recap on what we’re trying to do in The Move. In my early transition, I want to have this club start to shallow out a little bit. If we looked at the path of our hands, so the direction that my hands are moving in the downswing.

If we kind of had a trace, and I’ll get to that in a minute when we do 3D, but if I drew a trace on that, my club shaft should shallow out significantly below that and my club head should be significantly below that angle.

Then from there, that’s going to allow me to accelerate this club as I’m coming down, and get that club kind of kicking out and turning over, naturally using its own momentum, so I don’t have to use my hands to try to force that club to turn over.

So if I can shallow it out in early transition, then I can just go ahead and swing on through.

Now the second thing we talk about in The Move, is we want to see this club face kind of shutting down, starting to close down a little bit early.

I’m going to look in my downswing to make sure that my club isn’t open like this. I don’t want my club moving down and the face to be kind of pointing perpendicular to my swing direction.

I want to have that face starting to square up earlier, so as I’m getting closer and closer to contact, I don’t have to release the face as hard. It’s already squaring up earlier in the swing, then I can come right on through the ball, and I’m going to be pretty consistent.

Those are the things we’ve talked about in The Move, and I give you some great drills like the Tennis Racket Drill to get a feel for those.

Now we can see the cool thing I can train this in 3D and see if what I think is happening through video, we can double check that through 3D and make sure every single angle is correct.

Let’s go ahead and try one out. I’ll make the swing, let’s see if my club is shallowing out properly, and if my face is squaring up early. All right, let’s take a look at it on the computer.

All right guys, so now I’ve marked my lead wrist angle, this is kind of going to show my club angle, and my 3D hand trace. It’s going to give me a red line, or sorry, a blue line that traces the path of my hands.

Let’s go ahead and turn this guy in the down the line view. That way we can see it easier. You can see that blue trace which is my hands in the backswing, and then on the downswing, I believe it turns to red on the downswing. Let’s see here.

There it turned to red, but look at the angle of my club compared to the trace of my hands. My hands are moving down this red line, it’s kind of a faint line, it may be a little bit tough to see on the screen.

My hands are on that red line, and my club is shallowing out well below that. So that’s the key. I’ve got to get my club a good 15° or more below that red line, so that I can shallow it out early.

Now the second thing I talked about is I want to square up that face earlier in the downswing. We can see now as I pause this in the downswing, that face is squaring up a little bit.

The more I close that face down early in the downswing, the less rotation has to be happen as I come through contact, and the less rotation of the face that has to happen.

If you’re looking at players like maybe Dustin Johnson, who really does that a lot, he would bow that lead wrist a lot at the top, really get that face closed down, and he has a lot less rotation coming through contact.

We can see here in 3D that The Move is happening correctly. You can look at this a lot of different angles. I can take it from an overhead view which is really cool, just to see different parts of the swing and what’s happening.

Look at my hand path as I come through, I can see my hands are turning back up and into the left like we talk about in the Top Speed Golf System also, to really get that club moving and whipping on through contact.

Or if we’re looking from the face view, now we can see this is one that we talk about, that club is lagging behind getting a big angle of lag.

Now watch my hands are going to start to turn upward as I come through contact. So see how that hand started to turn up a little bit, even at impact, it has already started to move upward slightly.

We can see that a little bit easier just past impact. That allows that club to whip through there. With the MySwing system, it’s a really cool way to test a lot of things that are very difficult to see on camera, make sure you’re doing those correctly.

It’s a great way to test The Move to make sure your hands and your club are working properly in the downswing.
