re: Worst swing related advice you've ever heard someone say?

I'm saying the weaker the grip the more likely you are to have a steeper backswing

Well that would be pretty stupid of you and I thought you just said grip doesn't change the swing. If golf instruction was so easy there wouldn't be people charging 10k a day to work with top instructors.

Why only $100? You're so confident in your game....

I didn't say it was easy, it's just not complex. Getting the body to do the motion is difficult because we have to fight the brains urge to hit the ball instead of swing through t towards the target. But the motion is not physically complex to perform. When you make the target your focus instead of the ball, it simplifies things significantly.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume we're just missing each other in translation, but if we're not and you're teaching people to hit at the ball you probably shouldn't be teaching.

Either way, swinger or hitter, the right arm doesn't fully extend until after contact, indicative of swinging or hitting through the ball. McClain is a great instructor, I don't think he would ever advocate trying to hit at the ball. Case in point, find one of his vids where he's demonstrating the downswing with the badminton racquets he uses, his right arm is bent.

Hit me up if you're in Dallas. Would be fun to play!
