10-year-old Brayden is an avid golfer, and his sports dream was to attend @WellsFargoGolf.
Will Gordon helped make that dream a little more special on the driving range, and he got a firsthand look at Brayden’s impressive game 😊
You can work on any “anti flip” drill you want, but the best way to do it is to create an environment where the body can keep turning through impact. Hands will exit inward naturally and your forearms won’t over rotate (flip) at it. Manufacturing it by holding off does not work.
Brian just making sure his grip doesn’t get too strong. Whenever it does, his club path typically shifts more and more inside-out try start the ball right of target. Turns into big draws. Weakening the grip let’s him feel the face more open so he can swing left on it #Boom
If you want to see a unique matchup that’s functional, look at my student Brian. Very upright hand path in the backswing but he keeps them “in” coming down by having the lead arm stay back as he rotates the chest into it. Doesn’t lose more depth and keeps his path pretty neutral
Brian is now getting into the 130s of club speed consistently. There are very few golfers out there who use the ground as well he does in terms of both horizontal & vertical forces. Lots to learn here if you take a close look at how his body moves on both sides of the swing.
Time to get the governing bodies in golf thinking differently. Retweet this if you’re in favour of seeing a Ryder Cup-style MIXED team event that includes 6 men & 6 women on each side ����
Here’s an example of what I meant from my last tweet. Brian would be in a lot of trouble if he didn’t turn as well as he does. This is obviously an extreme case, but the point remains the same. Match up how well you turn with how much you shallow the club. Lots of ways to do it.
