What if I told you, if you can slam your fist into a table, you can get some great drives. It all comes down to the forearms and the right way to use those. What the pros are doing is they're keeping their forearms in this kind of an angle that I'm going to show you in a second. And what recreational golfers do too much, and I bet you felt the same thing.
We've all been there before, is starting to stand up out of your posture and the forearms are coming in. At more of this kind of an angle. All right, so let's jump right into it. Now, first I want you to get the feel of what the pros are doing. So, the golf swing is really just this type of a motion. So the arms are swinging like this, and I'm simply just hinging in my posture and rotating as that's happening.
So if we add hinging forward and rotation to this over the top type thing, that's all that's going on in the golf swing. Now, to do this correctly, the forearms, have to be this way. And what I mean is the right forearm is way under the left forearm. And when I look at a lot of professional players, I'm seeing them keep the right forearm under the left forearm much later in the swing, twice as long as what recreational players are doing.
So from here, you can see how this entire downswing, my right arm stays under my left arm. It's almost a little daylight that you can see through here. As you're, as I'm making this swing. So if I pause at contact, my right arm is here and my right arm is not on top like that. So my right arm this way would be on top, my right arm under would be here.
Now, that slamming the, the fist into the desk, that's the motion that we're having, except when you're going on top with your right forearm, your fist would be slamming into your thigh, which is the wrong way. That would be coming over the top, getting steeper, standing up out of my posture. When my fist is more toward the target, that's the correct way.
So I feel like I'm, imagine that I'm slamming my fist into the target this way, rather than slamming my fist down like that. Now the great thing about this motion is that when you get rid of that slamming into your leg and start going more toward the target, look how that shallows the club out, and look how it's a pulling motion.
With the right hand, which means that you're going to have some lag versus a hitting or a throwing motion. So as soon as this hand starts to turn backwards this way, this forearm starts to go up. That's more of a hitting and throwing, that's standing up, losing your lag. Versus keeping that cocked back, hammering the target.
That's going to get it shallowed out from the inside, tons of lag. and a lot of club head speed. So what I want you to do here is make a couple of practice swings where you go to the top of your swing or go halfway back is fine and then pause at impact or as late into the downswing as you can feeling like the right forearm is way under the left forearm.
Now as you go to impact I still want the right forearm under the left forearm as we can see here. But the trick is I want this face to be square to the target. I don't want you to have this face wide open or pointing out to the right like that. So that would be the incorrect way. Just go ahead and pause it, impact, get the face square, and you'll notice how to sit you in the same position that all the pros are in.
Nose behind the golf ball, weight shifted to the left, hips clearing out of the way, shoulders nice and square. That's where you want to be. So pause after doing that about four or five times and then all I want you to do is just go ahead and hammer the back of the ball with the back of your forearms this way and let's see what that goes.
So it's that hammer fist type motion that allows you to pull versus put or throw. Let's give it a whirl.
Alright, there we go. Nice solid shot, 306 total and a nice little draw on there. Now, if we shout it out like this and you get from the inside, but the face is wide open. Remember early in the video, I talked about how we're coming into impact. Right arm is under the left arm, but the face is square. You see a lot of times what players will do is they're used to squaring this face up by getting that right arm on top, rolling these hands over.
I want to lead you through what I call your natural. Um, wrist position, and that's in my 20 minute shallowing fix course. So if you're a member of Top Speed Golf, click on the Top Speed Golf, uh, under the instruction tab, Top Speed Golf, 20 minute shallowing fix. And there, I'm going to walk you through how to get the right grip when you come down to impact.
So I'm shallowing it out. I'm from the inside, but my face is open. How do I get that face squared up and figure out the right grip for me? I even lead you through a test there to figure out how flexible your left wrist is. And if you can't do this, like I can't. There's a certain type of grips that's not going to work for you at all.
So head on over to the 20 minute shallowing fix now, I can't wait to walk you through your natural wrist position so you can start playing the best golf and get that face square every time. Let's go and get started.
