USING LARGE MUSCLES - Old Audio Tapes

Old Audio Tapes from My Discovery of the Large Muscle Golf Swing

Update: I made these audio-only recordings while working on my method to make it more reliable. Essentially, I was taking audio notes as my method progressed.

This post is from 2009. It also mentions a little natural hinge at the top of the swing. I later found that no hinge is the most reliable approach. Any hinging feels powerful, but it gets your back hand involved and creates a “hit” we don’t want. We want to rotate through impact, accelerating all the way to the finish for the most reliable, consistent swing*.

After hitting 300 shots a day for over a month to get the hands out of the entire swing… WOW! Listen to how solid this sounds: a 3-wood hit off the floor—no tee, no mat—into a net.

Push the takeaway with the front shoulder, and keep pushing with it until it’s under your chin. Do not let the arms and hands take over, lift, or help!

Set up with your hands like a “bubble,” applying even, equal grip pressure at these three points (This is for a Right handed golfer):

• The last three fingers of the left hand.
• The middle two fingers of the right hand.
• The lifeline of the right hand, resting on top of the left thumb.

Maintain equal grip pressure at these three points during the entire swing. Keep your hands—the “bubble”—passive throughout the swing.

* Oh… this was in my living room! After a couple of months, I wore a hole through the middle of the net by hitting the same spot over and over. The Titleist Pro V1 is still in the wall of that house. I spackled over the hole… haha!
