Flying wedge email8/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Today after taking a lesson with my local pro it has been brought to light how misleading this information is. This caused my right shoulder to dip resulting in me snap hooking, drop kicking the ball off the tee. ![]() ![]() My driver swing was a completely different story.u can not hit up on a golf ball that is in a forward position whilst delofting the driver face and maintaining a forward leaning shaft created by maintaining the flying wedge. I found this advice so misleading and destructive to my swing, not too bad for irons as a delofted clubface and forward leaning shaft is ideal for hitting down on the golf ball. ![]() Just want to give my input on the flying wedge.Īfter adopting a stack and tilt style swing method i learned about the flying wedge and how they advocate maintaining the wedge all the way into follow through. Thoughts? Will post some swing shots soon (never done it before). So basically, based on these two seemingly contradictory ways of looking at release, along with my apparent tendency to hold off my own, have left me stifled as I try to figure out my next step in improving my swing. Hit the ball poorly, and certainly the above thoughts are way too many to take on to the course!Īnyway, back to initial topic! It seems that others (perhaps mvmac?) are saying that we actually shouldn't be focusing on this release/supination element, and that instead the hands should remain passive, with the release just happening naturally in response to the pivot through? (one of my good friends, who is a respected head pro at a good golf course, and a TGM guy, seems to be more of this school) Was also trying to incorporate a shorter backswing, today, by thinking of the straight right arm, which helped on the range yesterday. I tried coupling the thought with a weaker right hand grip (since it tends toward a bit strong), and opening face more on backswing (since I generally tend to have it a bit closed on my backswing- my current instructor just said that that makes me a 'closed' player, and that that's okay). Can cause big pulls and/or pull-hooks for me, and overall great inconsistency. However, I've tried this for the past couple days (and on and off for awhile), and it just doesn't seem to work for me. Also, it seems Jack encouraged focusing on active release, so can't be too bad! herman williams golf right wrist Through impact, he advocates back of left hand turning toward ground, along with right palm (while maintaing right wrist angle). Something like this, from an instructor I found referenced here a couple days ago. Are you guys saying that the hands should remain completely passive (no conscious attempt to supinate left hand/forearm? Or is this an okay thought (so long as you are not flipping, which I assume just means hitting at the ball, making your left wrist concave, etc)?Ĭonfused about this, since I've ben told by a couple instructors that my tendency is to "hold off" my release coming through the ball, and that I should work on actively releasing/rotating left wrist/forearm (while, of course, maintaining the flying wedge with hands ahead, etc). I think I (sort of) understand the flying wedge, but am unsure about hand/wrist action, and release. ![]()
