www.wholebrainplanet.com In this video clip the Hammer Man of Golf demonstrates that his athletic nature can be used in the golf swing. In the history of the game of golf there has never been a player who release the top hand off the club to finish with the bottom hand is the fashion that he displays in this swing sequence. There is alot of though that goes into this methodology. Because of the distance that he stands off the ball (Moe Norman) and the fact that he has a club that has a swing weight of G1 (some of his drivers are G5-G8) he is able to utilize forces of nature to hit the ball. His down swing is very elipitical and when he upstrikes the golf ball that is teed up at 4 inches he is able to get high launch angles with low backspin rates. Even with his backswing at only 12 oclock he is still able to drive balls on the golf course accurately in excess of 300 yards with very little effort. The ball flight is usually a nice draw. This is because the extra weight on the head causing the shaft to lag a bit more than normal. The shaft that he uses is a XX flex although the lead tape that is on the head of the club make it play like a stiff flex. Look at the other video on his channel to learn some of his secrets of developing to the ability to pure consistently long and accuarate drives. The Hammer Man has lots of training secrets that are in his best selling book. The manuscript is entitled Whole Brain Power. It is an excellent read.
