hi Alex Fortey here the art of simple golf this
is where we are simplifying the golf game to help you play better more enjoyable golf for many years
to come because it's not going to wreck your brain or your body and today's lesson is perfect in
keeping with that because it is about giving you more flow and more tempo and an Effortless
Golf Swing. Because if you have a tendency to throttle the golf club if you have a tendency
to get aggressive and hit at it and find your consistency sucks i wager this will help you
greatly so without further ado let's get into it okay so if you do think yeah throttle
the golf club and what i mean by that is do you find kind of get a bit ten
short a bit snatchy especially under nerves and do you find that you have a bit of
difficulty making full swings or full turns you're kind of like oh my mobility sucks or i
need a bigger shoulder turn or whatever it might be this is going to help you a lot because
it's not so much about technique it's just about helping you understand that this the
golf club and everything we're trying to do can help you accomplish the task rather than you
trying so hard to make it happen and it's dead simple it for but first like if you are one
of these golfers if you find that you do get it's like a cut makeup if you feel or know that your golf swing looks
a little bit like that let me know and let me know if this is going to so if this resonates
with you we're going to take the golf club and we're just going to take it with our thumb and
forefinger here the left hand is pretty much going to stay where it is in your normal grip but we're
going to make some swings with just the pressure of our thumb and forefinger is that all of a
sudden going to give you a different sensation through the the ball enabling the wrist
to hinge allowing the weight of the club work for you okay i'm not thinking anything
else i'm just allowing this club once i start the momentum of you know moving backwards of
turning behind myself of letting this left shoulder go down because of this grip the club
hinges all by itself isn't that amazing the club just hinges naturally because this is heavier
than this it only becomes problematic when we try and force it there or resist it even
okay so if we allow the flow to happen naturally gravity to help us it becomes a lot
easier so just by doing these practice swings seeing how that club can flow really does
make a huge difference and you'll notice now you should be able to swing a lot
longer but the other bonus to this is going to stop that over the top force
because we are having to sort of shallow the club naturally if we try and swing hard it's
like it becomes more noticeable but if we do like this fashion that you get some really nice flowing easy strikes
and it's dead simple so we just bring it up and it naturally shallow out it
will naturally flow with rhythm you can hit balls like this or not doesn't
really matter you can do little shots with it but the thing i want you to do is just to
feel what that's like to feel what the you know that the club is heavier that is guiding you
a little bit more instead of you trying to guide it because a lot of times we get too stiff
with the arms we're trying to hinge the wrists we need to allow things to flow when we let allow
them to flow it's a lot less strain on the body a lot less strain on the arms and
hopefully don't shank it like that but i want you to try it so all you do and you can
build up those swings right thumb and forefinger and you can build up those swings just to get that
rhythm get that rhythm and then when you kind of feel that have a go here with the same sensation
okay but the grip as normal but still trying to feel the way to the club feel that flow and allow
the weight to gather and move for you instead of against you all right dead simple as i said but
i think it's really going to help many of you and if you like that if you're going to
apply it just give me a like and let me know and if you have any questions just leave them
below as well and i will see you next time
