The shaft should naturally hold some flex as you gently accelerate the club head through the strike. As far as flipping goes, this drill will prevent you from flipping and teach you to maintain a more square clubface relative to the arc the club is traveling on. Someone who flips the club will struggle starting the ball on line consistently, this drill should teach people out of flippy mechanics!

@ Got it. Thanks. 👍🏽

Absolutely right! Gaining control of the clubface is an absolute must if you want to play good golf. If anyone is interested, the link to John's website (Advanced Ball Striking) is in my channel bio.

@HogansApproach if your coach isn't teaching you how to control the clubface and stabilize low point, find another coach..😅

@@ngascoigne Absolutely! Some common things exist amongst all good/great players... awareness of the club face and the ability to control the club face is a skill you must acquire and train, in order to play your best golf.

@@HogansApproach Any current players on tour who you fellas think control the club face really well through impact. McIlroy? Scheffler? Morikawa? Etc.

@@admiraltamalak7559 I think statistically speaking you nailed it, Scottie led the tour in 2024 season with a GIR stat of 73% and Morikawa leads so far in 2025. In general though all these guys on tour control the face well, stand outs who do it better than others I think are the guys that are consistent across large spans of time.

Hey Kx, You look like you have a pretty athletic move and definitely blessed with great range of motion. Keep following along with the channel. After ground force training (keep in mind that motion follows force) I'm going to roll out some owning your swing videos. How each and everyone can understand their golf swing and how their body operates the most efficiently. Thanks for tuning in!

I like the innovation Robert! Train these drills for a few months and I really think people will be surprised by the results. Focusing on the flow of energy and timing of these forces can really ramp up your swing's efficiency and ability to produce speed regardless of age and athletic ability.

This drill is an introduction to the ground reaction forces you see Tiger, Scottie, and Rory using. The plywood board gives you something to squeeze the inner feet against and provides resistance. As you squeeze the board and focus on keeping the right heel planted, the right knee and right hip should begin to work slightly downward and toward the target as you are rotating in the downswing. As the right hip and right knee begin to move properly, you will feel an increased ability to push off of the left foot and right foot, creating the pelvic torque Dr. Greg Rose explained at the beginning of the video. Tiger and Scottie's right foot slipping shows that the force that they are pushing with is overcoming the frictional force provided by their golf shoes. Legend has it, Ben Hogan had an extra spike on his right shoe. Maybe he understood a thing or two about his golf swings connection to the ground! Let me know if this explanation helps!

@@HogansApproach since i developed over the last few years a swing utilizing a good pivot i have found i need to golf wearing shoes with spikes because i'm using the ground more and i kinda slip wearing spikeless shoes.

I apologize for that in the intro. If you fast forward towards the last minute of the video you can see me hitting some shots using the board. I corrected the camera angle at that point. I personally struggle with losing spine angle and allowing my right hip to "spin" up and towards the golf ball. It's a mild case of early extension but it is not ideal at all for GRF (Ground Reaction Forces). I exaggerate the drill in this video feeling like my right heel stays planted, as you get better at this drill you can work into hitting normal shots and allow the right foot to come all the way up as you move into the finish position.

@@HogansApproachappreciate the reply . Will try it and follow you .

@@Rd-bi7vr Thanks! I'm going to role out a series of videos for anyone wanting to get better this off-season. These videos will be a combination of simple drills that I have found actually make me a better player... improve my speed, improve my ball striking, my tempo, etc. Hopefully I will get a bit better at editing and explaining myself as I make more content. I appreciate everyone's interest and hope to provide as much value to you guys as possible!

I wish I could have seen him in his prime!

Don't be discouraged @Grayback1973! There are a host of structural and dynamic screenings you can do at home to see where exactly the club should travel for your body's physical capabilities. I will post a video regarding some of these screenings soon.

He is a true genius when it comes to understanding the golf swing. I'll post a video of my swing after working through some of his "Hogan Modules." It's an incredible difference and very Hogan'esc look.
