This is a good tip. I just took an old club and taped a piece of iron ( a little shorter than the shaft of the club, but about the same diameter) along side the shaft of the club. Great for stretching out, especially my shoulders.
tempo is another term for rhythm. some pros say to count like a grandfather clock. one and two and so that your back swing goes back at a nice consistent slower pace and then on the downswing you accelerate through the hitting area. The backswing would be “one and ” and then when you say “two” you start the downswing.

wasn’t sure what you meant by tempo. is it that you swing your driver too fast after using the club?

Casting is when the clubhead is ahead of the hands at impact because your wrists released too early. My hands are ahead of the clubhead at impact so I’m not sure what you are calling casting.
I’d been swinging that club for quite a while when I decided to make a video out of it. Swinging one of those weighted clubs works out your muscles very well.

As long as you hit the center of the net, the net does a great job of absorbing all that energy. However, if you accidently hit toward the side of the net where the net is not able to move as much, the ball will go through the net so be conscious of what you are aiming at just in case one gets through. I also had a gust of wind knock the top of the net down a couple feet and I hit one over the top of the net. Oops. Luckily I have an empty field behind my house.

Have you put any holes in your net using your driver, once you’ve built up clubhead speed.
i meant width as in the creation of width on the bckswing

The narrow stance encourages balance and focuses more on rotation by limiting lateralization. Muscle memory vs. your brain is a matter of symantics. Muscle memory is a term thats been around forever that everyone is familiar with but if you don’t like it, call it your brain. Whatever you like.
good video – just need to work a bit on your width and angle of attack on your release – just seems the point at which your club releases is a little late – hence chasing the club a little – oh by the way those trainers are not worth the money – you can not train your muscles to swing a golf club only your brain – there is no such thing as muscle memory

I have one of those trainers, and was wondering is there any advantage using the overly expensive(imho)Momentus products to this one.

I can see that you’re casting the club as you transition into your downswing therefore ingraining that motion. Just thought Id let you know
Comment by iheartmetal17 — January 4, 2010 @ 9:38 am
No ball hitting. Just swinging to work on correct swing plane, rotation and transition and build muscle
Comment by AGameGolf — January 7, 2010 @ 7:33 am
do you hit balls with it as well? thanks for the vid

How do you figure? Goes straight for me.
Comment by AGameGolf — February 2, 2010 @ 4:45 am
you must have a terrible hook with that early hinge. or do you just hold on for dear life and block everything to the right?
Comment by stnkye — February 4, 2010 @ 5:14 pm
