Dan,
I know a lot of people have commented and asked about the physical aspect of your game and your equipment, but how do you prepare mentally? Any words of wisdom or reading recommendations? Just curious because after watching your video I feel like I’m not far off (physically) from being where you’re at with your game. 80-90% of my mishaps on the course occur because of negative thoughts or lack of focus on the positive ones.

Kinda seems like his own version of a waggle. I’ve done similar practice swings on occasion. It’s just to help visualize the shot and get the motion in your head before addressing the ball. I did notice a bunch of small adjustments on some of your shots – especially with the big sticks. Seems like you have a lot going through your head when setting up…?

Get out early enough and anything is possible. I played 18 one morning in about an hour and a half and even had a group play through!!!

Will be in Penn sometime in early July. Have to go through 550 miles of Virginia before getting there!

Great thought. I’ll do that next time. It’s good to vocalize intent and would help me in my swing thoughts.
Cheers,
Dan

Golf is a game of opposites to common sense like hitting down to make the ball fly up, and swing the clubhead to the right to draw the ball to the left.

Another one these golf opposites is to setup with the arms and hands closer into the body to speed up the down swing. While sticking the arms and hand out to get a bigger arc tends to slowdown the down swing. This is according to the physics law of the conservation of angular momentum, that says a bigger radius of a rotating body creates more inertia that reduces the speed of rotation.

Figure skaters pull their arms and hands into the body to speed up the spin, while they extend out their arms and hands out from the body to slow down, and to stop their spins.

None skaters can make turns using their feet with the arms extend fully out horizontally, and then pull the arms into the body rapidly. The body will feel like it turns faster as the arms are rapidly pulled into the body. To increase the feel of this automatic speeding up of turning speed, the hands can hold some additional weight like holding a golf club around the middle of the shaft in each of the extended hand at the start of the turning. When the arms and hands holding the extra weight of the clubs are rapidly pulled into the body during the turn, the felling of the turning speed being speed up automatically is enhanced. (This should NOT be done by people with ear balancing problems, nor by people with dizzying problems.)

Thus, arms out means slowing down, and arms in means speeding up. It is like pushing out with the arms and hands to press on the brake (which figure skaters actually do,) and pulling in with the arms and hands to release braking.

Furak and Rory driver setups have the arms and hands very close to the body. According to the law of the conservation of angular momentum, this will automatically add speed to their downswings. Hogan in his book of five fundamentals mentions having the arms close to the body during setup. These are examples of both tall, and shorter top golfers having their arms and hands closer in to their bodies during setup.
