LOADING THE CLUB LATE LIKE GARCIA AND HOGAN

Ben Hogan and Sergio Garcia's names are synonymous with great ball striking. One of the moves they employ in their swings, to create lots of power, is a late load. In this video Dan talks about how to manage a float load in your swing and how to put this move into your game, if you feel like you want to.

Great info Dan. I see these faults in my swing. #1 and #3 you talked about fixed, but for #2, you didn’t talk about a fix.

Learning to do this with passive (oily ) wrists will eliminate the "hit at the ball with your hands" issue but will also have you automatically shifting your weight properly. By surrendering control of the golf club your nervous system will react to the weight of the club head and your swing speed to put you in the proper positions. You will have tons of lag and the club head will automatically release thru the ball on it's own. The key is to surrender to the club head. The drill I use is right arm only. Swing the club head back and forth waist high to waist high. Relax the wrists and allow the club head to do set your wrist and release it at the bottom.

Nice video, especially the explanation on why some people getting stuck and how avoiding the early extension / releasing of the angles.

This helped me quite a bit because I hit the ball well but I do think I’m a late setter So now I have a better understanding of why when I miss where it’s coming from. For me one piece take away

Great video. I get stuck in all 3 of the ways you described. I look forward to trying the drill.

Thanks Dan this is what I've been trying to do for a while as it seems to be the only way I can stop my hands and arms from starting the downswing. Yes I agree there are pitfalls and mine is a big hook occasionally but boy I pure so many irons and I'm driving longer than I ever imagined .

Great tips Dan! I suffer from this. I need to keep my arms more in front of me. Thanks!

Another great vid Dan, wanted to say thx, youve helped me immensly in understanding and improving my game.
I would like to see a professional as good as you talk on the subject of different anatomies in the golf swing...example being, I'm 6 ft tall but have very narrow shoulders, I'd be interested to know your opinions on the triangle created by the 3 points ( shoulder, shoulder, connection to club ) and what if any differences this makes to the golf swing...tempo/ leverage...that kind of thing. Think it would be a very interesting topic 👍
Keep up the great work and thx again.

Thank you so much! That’s exactly what I’m doing but I thought it was wrong ! Until now ! Sometimes I tend to be trapped behind though...

[alexanderahammer]

my pro taught me this move yesterday because I cannot get my hands in front of the ball at impact. i‘m not sure yet whether this is really the solution though. great video btw
