Swing 3.1 Left Arm Straight Right Arm Push

Another thought has been to keep the left arm straight and then push hard with the right hand.  It's just like slamming a door by shoving it by the handle or shoving it close to the hinge.  Shoving it close to the hinge will make it close faster.  Well your left wrist is the hinge, the club is the door, and your right hand just shoves the door closed as hard as you can.  I have a friend that swings like this where he barely has a back swing and then generates tons of speed really fast just with his wrists.  His swing is amazing.  I thought he's just young and I'll never have that kind of power in my wrists.  And then you have to rely on timing too much.

Well I found out his secret I think!  He uses the right triceps, pectoral, and front deltoid (big muscles) to push on the club to generate club head speed.  His wrists don't have to do anything except guide the face angle of the club.  I don't even think the wrists hold the lag it's the latisimus dorsi holding the right elbow close to the body.

Now combine the hinge push with the left are moving as well and you can generate a lot of speed!  Something I think I'm going to explore.


**Update March 21:
This idea I think now is not a good idea at all.  First off it would encourage flipping the wrists and not pronation/suppination which is correct.  Also the wrists should remain loose and relaxed and you shouldn't be pushing hard with any hands during the swing!
