Yep it's a constant back and forth, trying new concepts, putting them on the shelf because they don't work, taking them back down later and all of a sudden they make sense. Sometimes things only work in conjunction with another thing, and half the time you're not even sure if you've succeeded in...
Hmm I get what you're saying but I wonder if given the same release angle I would feel a difference in the way I leverage the swing part of the motion. I feel like they both end up in the same place from the pocket out. But quite clearly the mass of the lower arm is in a different place relative...
Yep all this has definitely been touched upon in the past, I'm just putting it into my own words the way I make sense of it in my own throw. And you're definitely right about it being hard to find that tension with the whip technique initially. With what you're doing now you can sort of start...
Hmm, on a full drive that's certainly true. On a touch shot I might end up on my toes after not rotating at all on the heel. I think the heel pivot shouldn't be a focus, but then again I know I've focused on it in the past, and just because at this point it's so ingrained in my movement doesn't...
Reachback is an interesting topic because I don't think the early reachback is a problem on its own (although I think you can get some extra juice from utilizing the slingshot reachback á Lizotte). I could run with a straight arm and make a perfectly good shot. Though I wouldn't run backwards...
Crushing the can like Lizotte rly is key. Before I could never understand how it was even possible for his right foot to move that way, but it ends up doing that when you move in order to power the whip. Right now you're just striding flat sideways and planting the foot 90 degrees to your...
It doesn't matter. Personally I think I lift my toes slightly before release. I think as my plant leg extends the weight shifts to the heel and I lift the toes as soon as that happens. Anyway, the idea is not to brace against the rotation, but to brace against the forward movement and provide a...
As the title suggests I think that there are two different overarching styles in pro form, and I think one is far superior to the other. The easiest way is probably just to show different throws using the different techniques, but my "short" summary is this (videos after):
Whip:
There is no...
I very much agree with the cadence of "step->turn->step->turn". A very, very common problem is the "step+turn -> step+turn" cadence. It ruins the whip by moving everything at the same time. This is why sometimes I don't like using the term swing (especially the idea of swinging from a position...
It doesn't even matter. Take a putter and a driver that you like (and a putting putter) and leave the rest at home. When you learn to crack the whip with your left arm, you can then start snapping different molds at different angles and see what happens. Bagging a massive bag just adds another...
Yeah i don't know, I don't feel like it's a pull, more like a whip controlled by the left arm. Timing is huge though, just like a "regular" whip. It's that free floating moment and then the lower arm whipping in and out of the pocket. Just like how when you snap a towel, you need to sort of toss...
