At the Classic Swing Golf School we believe the body is a wonderful support system for the hands and arms and teach our students to use them to PUSH on the golf club. We know the hands are the source of motion in the golf swing and that to pull on the club with the body only spells disaster.
Last month I spoke of a left hand drill that emphasizes the left hand push at impact; now we will turn it over to the right hand.
Since the hands are the source of the motion in the golf swing and your only attachment to the club is through your hands, it is important to train both!
Notice, with just the right hand on the golf club, the slight bend in the right wrist as the arm is extending.
Here the right arm has moved into full extension to compliment the essential ingredient of PUSHING down and out during the moment of truth, IMPACT!

Our drill for the month is again demonstrated by doing a chip motion. Please keep the motion short and slow ... but HEAVY! Deliver a heavy club head into impact by exerting a pushing force down the shaft and immediately after impact.
Keep that right wrist bent back for this drill. Any loss of right wrist bend before impact prevents success so please pay attention to the pictures and watch the video if you can.
The PUSH applies to each and every swing. We choose to demonstrate it with chip drills because your awareness is greater when the motion is shorter and slower...just don't be dainty! Swing like you mean it!
Next month we will begin to move into the follow through and highlight the OUT sensation that is coupled with the down and out push through impact.
