Rory’s Famous Drill… with a TWIST! 🔥🙌🏻 #golf #golftips #golfcoach #golfswing

So Rory has his famous drill that he talks about, the split grip, where you pull the club down to get the arms in front of you before you rotate through. However, for most amateur golfers, by doing this and rotating, you’re going to leave the club face wide open through impact. This is just going to make your slice even worse, cuz there’s one very important move you need to do while you do this drill. It’s being able to steer the wheel. This movement gets a open club face to close, which means as you simply rotate through the shot, the club face will be square. This is going to be a whole new world for most of you, but just hit some half shots with this. And as you get used to this feeling, you’ll learn what it’s like to really compress the golf ball.

  3. That split hand drill is very effective to understand how to release the club around the hands, which is where most of the club head acceleration and increase in kinetic energy striking force occur per the formula Striking Force = 1/2(Mass x Velocity^2) also expressed as 1/2(Mass x Acceleration) because most don’t understand what V^2 means. It means if you can increase club head speed by 5x more than hands are spinning around feet with hip and shoulder turn there will be 25x more Kinetic Energy in the club head available to crush the ball on the face of the club why a grip that allow free lag 👍 and 👉 release is critical for developing a powerful swing.

    Timing is critical and that’s what the split hand drill is so good for. Do it slowly in the beginning keeping your back heal down on the ground.

    If the back foot stays grounded your hips will stop rotating at 45° open just as your hands separated on the grip bring the shaft to horizontal — / |

    The separated hands keep the shoulders from rotating around hips (early extension) and the hands will stop abruptly until you raise the back heel to allow the hips to turn again.

    That action of slowing down the hands that way is what triggers the reaction of club head to whip around the hands. I keep my index finger of the trail hand down on the side of the shaft so can feel the pressure from the lag disappearing and that then becomes my key for the timing of lift the back foot to get hips and shoulders turning into the finish. Once I perfected the timing I added 30 -50 yards to Drives and get started to get wicked spin loft on iron shots — making it possible to shape shots and then land them on greens like lawn darts. 🎯 😊

  6. But he releases his wrist angles , whereas you are not, which is why your clubface is open at impact and Rory’s is square. Rory is releasing all of his angles downwards with some crazy ground forces in opposite direction – force plates have shown that

  12. a good backhand feel is your shot shape is strongly determined by the "line" (imagine holding a marker) you draw thru the ball into release/impact

  23. Rory does not hold wrist angle with the club handle pointing forward at impact as you are showing.
    He releases the club at impact and the handle is aiming away from target, arms fully extended 6-8” in front of the ball.
