Perhaps you heard the guys at GC evaluating Russell Henley's swing to that of the mythical Sam Snead before Henley teed off on Sunday. Well, "Slammin' Sam" was one of the huge hitters of his day... And quite correct too. (Bear in mind that the entire wins file Tiger is chasing belongs to Snead.) You may want to do a lot worse than copy some of Snead's action.
So I have collected a couple of videos to help you learn some of Sam's moves. The first here comes from golfing.Com and Top100 trainer Mike Perpich. It will train you a flexible little drill that permit you to get a better flip and better role on the pinnacle of your backswing.
The reason you lay the membership in your shoulder whilst you begin the drill is so you'll cast off the top frame tension that may restrict your shoulder turn. This manner, as Mike says, you get a real indication of how bendy you're.
That video was posted in late January. Ironically, Martin Hall and Holly Sonders posted a School of Golf video that included the same drill (along with a couple of other tips) back in October. It's the second of three Snead tips in this video. I find it interesting that Martin doesn't recommend hitting balls with it when Mike does -- such are the preferences of different teachers! I think the drill is a good one... and while Martin may say he doesn't recommend it, the 3rd key in this video is one to help make this drill work better! So have a look at Martin's take:
Please take note of that third key. Gripping the membership with the anxiety in the right palms -- the hoop and pinky arms of the lead hand -- can help remove a variety of cutting issues whether or not you operate the Snead drill or not. You'll square the club an awful lot greater constantly in case you grip it this way.
Even in spite of everything those years, Sam Snead continues to be teaching the great execs a issue or .
