The Hand Path (Rory McIlroy)

1. It might look easy when Rory McIlroy does this.
   But it’s something you really have to train.

   In the backswing, you’re just lifting the club.
   You’re not applying force yet, so it’s easy to keep things loose.

   In the downswing, it’s different — now you want to create speed and power.
   If you apply that force too early, your arms tend to move forward, pushing out.
   That happens because it’s much easier to push horizontally when your body is shifting left towards the ball.

   But in the golf swing, we need to learn something that feels a bit unnatural:
   At the start of the downswing, the arms stay loose and passive, while the lower body does the work – until you’re in the slot — between position 5 and position 6, when the club is parallel to the ground.
   That’s the moment to create speed and really hit it.
   So at the start of the downswing, the lower body works first, the arms stay passive.
   Get into the slot — then go.
   If you’d like one of those drills—something that helps you feel the right movement without overthinking—
   just comment “Mulligan”, and I’ll send you a link to my training community, where LPGA Tour player Sandra Gal and I share the exact exercises that make your swing more effortless.

3. The elbow drop and rotating straightening of the trail arm is the hidden counter-intuitive key to accelerating the hands through impact.  

   I'll ask golfers "What's the measure of a good golf swing?" The answer? "One Cubit' the distance between elbow and fingers as the club shaft drops down to level with ground and then releases around the hands. That tucked in, bent elbow is what creates the leverage necessary to consistently control the path of the hands. Get the path of the hands right and the club head will whip around them into the ball very consistently because the laws of physics are consistently predictable 🙂

4. This is a good angle as how far inside and down he starts the downswing, plus he doesn’t pull down into the slot, he starts releasing early?

5. severe loop unusual for a non tall player

6. 최고의골프레슨
   감사합니다

7. Man rarely ever finds a fairway and spends majority of every round playing out the rough

8. think 'down and under your head' with your trail shoulder. …but it's a complicated move, and very difficult to repeat the same way each time…. unless you're Rory.

9. オンプレーンですねー❤

10. No! He’s not. Don’t do that you’ll pull the club shaft steep. Those arrows need to go out toward the ball to flatten the shaft. Move the handle towards the ball outward so the club is coming horizontal across your chest. Hold you upper body back don’t rotate and those 2 things get you shallow.
