Golf Magazine, March 2009
The front page of Golf Magazine features: Build a SWING you
can TRUST by Masters Champion Trevor Immelman. HOW TO BUILD TRUST IN YOUR TOP POSITON: Point the toe down and cup your left wrist. HOW TO BUILD TRUST IN YOUR IMPACT: TRUST THIS: My toe-down position at the top means I have to really go after it at the bottom. This may sound like a compensation move, but it's actuall the easiest way to square the face and swing with speed. I like to feel the clubhead passing may hands through impact, not may hands trying to hold the face square. My be "overtaking" but pictures shows left wrist bent and right wrist flat. Note: this is past impact on a big picture but but on a small picthure, Trevor show the same thing and says "This is the right way to swing through impact and square up the clubface". Then a small picture, showing a bent right wrist and a flat left wrist, Trevor said "Holding the club is both unathletic and a serious power sap." Maybe I am missing something and may have taken something out of text, but the above just doesn't seem right. I know that Hogan cupped the left wrist, at the top on his secret move, but he did not cave in at the bottom. |
Puck release ... like Nick Bradley advocates....It is hard to imagine how it does not lead to inconsistent clubface alignment unless you practice hard....and even then...
Hogan did not do it... But then maybe he was not as dynamic or athletic as Trev aims to be....:laughing9 :rolleyes: Cupping of the left wrist (depends on grip I know) tends to allow the clubface to remain turned to the plane and on plane in early start down...IMO. the wrist is subservient to the requirements of the 3 components of the club (sweetspot/face and shaft/sweetspot plane)... may be going off topic...sorry. PM if anyone wants to discuss last paragraph. |
Trevor may think he does this, but he doesn't, or he wouldn't be on Tour. Feel vs Real re: the release.

What AIN'T Happ'nin
Could someone please post these posed -- and sad -- 'Through Impact' photos? I'd like to comment. Thanks.
:salut: I showed them to YodasLuke the day I received the magazine and told him to "put a supply in the clubhouse." Why? They constitute nothing less than a "Teacher's Annuity". In fact, they are the 'Before' picture in Luke's recent Amazing Changes sequences in Post #15 here: http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/showt...1470#post61470. If this truly is what Trevor Immelman is working on, then he is in big trouble. You will not hear from him again until this conception -- no doubt 'learned' -- changes. As I look at his stats, it is obvious that he has a short game problem -- where the Action is contained and the conscious and subconscious minds have the opportunity to meet head-on -- not a long game problem (where Total Motion childhood 'Feels' rule the day). I'd like 15 minutes with him in the short game area, using his true long game alignments through Impact, and let's see what happens. |
I agree, I could not believe my eyes when reading this. It's nothing more than trying to time club head throw-away!

Bad pics
I saw those pics and my jaw dropped. I think everyone on this site gets that these are bad pics and probably a feel vs. real issue....I just feel sorry for the poor chaps out there trying to make this happen. Reminds me of the "stack and tilt" pictures which looked like reverse pivot in the magazine photos.

Wow....
Sadly, I would've probably been one of the suckers that tried this out a few months ago. I used to love going through golf magazines and trying out different tips and such. It's frightening to me now to see how much bad info is really out there. Thanks for taking the blind fold off yoda and LBG gand.
