Strengthen their grip, move ball up and try to get them to feel it on the way back. Even the least athletic and most fricked up people can feel it there. It would hurt less than hitting the ground on a 30 yard shot

Application or not, it can be dumbed down enough for someone to understand.

Gamma torque is a derivative of Nitro.

To me only one number matters and that is smash factor. The rest is just Window dress g.

No not really its just squaring up the face and you can get unreal smash factor numbers on low snap hooks. Just remember for optimum driver speed when the shaft is at about 2 ft from the ball your left wrist is going to go from flexation(bowed left wrist) to extension (cupped left wrist) extremely fast. Don't feel the handle dragging you'll lose a lot of speed.

I'm not kidding. I truly do not know what he is talking about. Not hating, I'm just not smart enough for all of that. Whatever happened to Grip, Stance, Posture.

Show me one mid level amateur that gives a frick about gamma torque or flexation and I will show you a player that will fight his swing forever.

They don't need to know about it. Every person who plays golf applies all 3 torques even though they don't know it. They don't need to but a good teacher needs to

What's your background? Do you teach? If so, for how long and where? What level of golfers do you teach?

My god all I wanted some suggestions on instructors in BR, not a semester worth of physics lessons.

I just want to get my swing back and be able to nitro the hell out of the ball down the fairway again with any club of my choosing without the fear of shanking them two fairways over and killing somebody.
