Bruce Lee if correctly trained would probably hit it miles...can't argue there.

I don't think you need 90° turn either, but you need some and you need it to unwind properly to have a truelly powerful swing...it is not all in the forearms.

If you really think 90% power comes from the arms then you should be able to swing, with 0 shoulder movement and hit it 90 of the distance...not off one leg, not off knees, not 1 handed, and definately not with a little bit of turn so the hands can get high enough. If the power comes from the hands they should not have to get any higher.

This is not meant to be an attack, but I just can not get my brain around this at all.

You can do a test,

Take a long piece of light wood extend from your shoulder and out till 40 inch outward or so like a golf stick. and swing with your body as fast as you possibly can. How fast can you go?

Now take a golf shaft and whip it as fast as you can. with one hand and wrist. Or even better with just forearms and arms. not forgeting wrist is also a power accumulator . now with the wrist and forearms around the elbow .. swish swish swish.


Common illusions, but arm provide most speed, body not so much speed. Our core are not design for speed, they are for support and strength . You need speed to hit far. Force = mv 2 .

In Body controlled hands , Physics Precedes
In Hand controlled Pivot, Geometry precedes.

But you must learn to use BOTH. for maximum power. And i dont mean your body should turn faster , It really doesnt hit the ball much further no matter how fast it is turned. It only make the person look like a Hacker.

And Effort is not equal to power.

Freddie doesnt seem to swing that fast but hits it a mile doesnt he? Everyone followed the concept of body swing and swing easy, but did they get the speed? Everyone will be hitting a mile by now using "what made sense" and what is sold by so called the gurus of golf. Their student are not really known for length.

Did u see Ocha? she is small, but she whips! look at the snap! Look at her distance !
