They are exercises that strengthen the forearm, hands, legs, and core body that all will be put together into a swing. You focus on one particular aspect at a time, mastering each technique.
Module 1 - Works on Impact, developing the forearm rotation.
Module 2 - Works on Ground pressures and forces with your feet and legs (Lower body)
Module 3 - Works on Post impact and pivoting that works both your arms and core body.
All this stuff is no joke! Definitely have to do the homework to get results. But its a great way to learn and develop excellent ball striking in the long run.
This forum has two sidesā¦ a public side for general golf swing and equipment discussion, and an private side that is equally as massive in itās content. Some of the ABS students or myself will drop terms like modules and opposing forces or other terms that are used over thereā¦ that often get leaked over here.
There are a lot of ways to swing a golf club and get adequate results. Super Slotting is something I teach on the private side, but even there it is only an optionā¦ not a requirement. Itās very good stuff though, it does work, and is supported by some of golfās greatest strikersā¦ so itās worth an investigation for those who tend to be more technically minded and have a zest for hitting thousands of golf balls.
I am very impressed with Lagās super slotting youtube swing and this gave me new inspirationā¦
So I went to bent my Irons 57 to 54 degree flat and half inch shorter than previous!
My 7 Iron has now 56 degree Lie angle - I love it! (I played already with 59 degree, but maybe they were to long
and not enough flatā¦)
What I like is that I have to use my knees now - I was never able to reestablish after transition
my right knee and hip flex - now it happens and sure you canāt straighten your left knee well after
impact or you are toastā¦
For my swing āLagās specsā are goldā¦
I have to dig deeper - thankās to the advancedballstriking comunity.
Chris
Even I still donĀ“t do it like I want - I had some thoughts why super slottingā¦
How about rotating the shaft around the sweetspot, instead of turning the sweetspot around the shaftā¦
This needs at release point the right forearm on plane, the shaft underplane and then the left arm shifts from above to underplane and bangā¦ inertia is your friend.
To be able to do this you have to super slot itā¦
Hopefully Brian is not upset that I took his latest footage for comparisonā¦
CRR thank you for the Sergio footageā¦
It is actually Grady, not Brian. No I donāt mind. I just canāt get to where you are through transition. On the other hand I donāt see a lot of power in your motionā¦I may be wrong thereā¦but I suspect if you could get some of my power and I could get deeper isn transition we would both be happy campers.
Also, I am preimpact and you are postā¦that accounts for some of the differenceā¦though not all.
Sorry if I called you out for not having powerā¦that is just the sense I get from watching your swing. If you have it that is super because it looks effortless.
There is a surprising amount of forearm strength needed to be able to work the club from the SS into a flat shaft angle through impact with the hands down low while holding a lot of wristcock. That powerful action also sends the shaft working left post impact and does wonders to keep the ball from going there. The SS is only one side of the equation. Trying to manufacture āa lookā is not going to do well for someone. It is the result of two distinct opposing forces at play working one way and then the other.
The hands donāt want to be low through impactā¦ because CF is trying to raise them up and inline with the left arm (DTL). But this low action is the way to go not only to keep the shaft on plane, but also to increase speed, force and pressure when done correctly, putting a huge lightening bolt of feel right up into the hands and arms terminating into the core of the bodyā¦ then transferring into our brain.
Slot, hit and rotateā¦ trumps slot and dump.
The golf swing is not learned well in a chronological sequence.
So trueā¦ I wished there was a different way when I startedā¦
There is an big advantage in SS - you donĀ“t have to play only a Fadeā¦
To Fade I use a convex handpath and for a Draw the handpath is concave -
what most people donĀ“t understand is that you donĀ“t have to swing your hands inside out
to draw the ballā¦ the club goes slightly inside outā¦ but the handpath goes stil after release point
leftā¦ Mac would call it INLINE.
No need for closed shoulders and pivot stalling or rotating the handleā¦
I change my COGs shift and this changes the handpath.
OK - nobody needs anymore to work the ball - but if you like to work the ball
I believe this technique thru SS is the simplest.
Chris, could you please elaborate a little more on the handpath concavity? Where does it start and end for you? Exactly as drawn? and do you mean the handpath still goes left or the handpath goes still? Sorry if I just donāt see it yet?
Sure, with the following pictures it will be clearer:
In the ShellĀ“s Match he played mostly Draws (concave handpath from DSL)
Here he plays a Fade (convex handpath from DSL)
My point was, that even you play a Draw - the handpath can go from the releasepoint on to the left!
Here is a concave handpath, but combined with 7 degree handle raising and slinging. The hands are going after
the release point still inside out to play a Draw:
Text from George KnudsonĀ“s book: "I alter the plane to change curvature or ball flight by moving the feet.
The question would be, did he only alter the feet or did he change his handpath and with this the plane
tooā¦
Look at his feet alignmentā¦ he needed alignment sticks, lol.
Drawā¦
Itās much more clear now for meā¦Iāll have to experiment with the handpath and see how it feelsā¦Iām not in Mod 9 yet which covers how Lag does it. So Iāll have some fun with it in the meantime.
Thatās a ton of knee flex coming into P3.
Exactly what tall hitters should be doing.
If you want to have some funā¦ take some DTL vids of yourself and check if you can get that much knee flex.
Itās pretty shocking especially for the stiff legged players.
Knees are the best way to lower your CIG into and through impact.
