The Finish Swivel

[Daryl]

I am one of the straightest hitters of the ball i know, so i have no problem hitting the ball as dead straight as possible with this 'over rolling' issue. In fact, despite what others may say, i can even FADE the ball with this type of "swivel." The key though is you have to draw a straight plane line. Start 'bending' that plane line out to the right and it will be FOOOOOOOOOORE LEFT!



I'll admit i'm not physics guru, far from it. But all i know is that if you do it "by the book" there isn't as much "smash" as there is with supposed "over rolling." Email me @ koby12@gmail.com and i'll give you a link to a video that has pretty solid evidence.



Probably both. All i'm saying is that with the same amount of speed and "effort" the ball will have more ball speed with the "ben doyle" swivel style. Do i know why? No. Can i prove it scientifically? No. All i have is a pretty convincing video and my launch monitor numbers.

Hope that helps

Hmm?

Just proves that a hands manipulated swinger with great hand-eye coordination (even Tiger) can create any ball flight. Wish I could.

Horizontal hinging is a closing only motion. The motion starts a few inches before impact (slightly open clubface) and ends about a foot after low point (slightly closed clubface). It’s a smooth and mild closing motion because the hands-clubshaft-clubface are moving downward-outward-forward on plane (even past low point) and the radius of the hinge is from the left shoulder. The closing is mild both in degrees and rate from the beginning to end during its’ approximately fifteen inch impact travel. Therefore, hinging cannot account for radical ball flight inconsistencies. The finish swivel occurs after finish. It’s important to keep hinging and finish swivel separate.

Study Bens’ pictures. If his right wrist is flattening, then his left wrist is bending. Can’t have one without the other using a strong single action grip. Do I see a slight amount of chicken wing? Where are “BOTH ARMS STRAIGHT FULL EXTENSION” and extensor action. See 9-2-11 #1 and 9-2-11 #2.

Look at Lynn Blake picture #8: perfect horizontal hinge…. Look at the clubface in #8: end of on plane horizontal hinge. Precise follow-through position after hinge. Both arms straight. #9 and #10 and #11 are on plane swivel.
