Mike are you an advacate of the twistaway?

Hey Joe,

It is a staple part of my instruction - especially when I am fixing someone's slice. The golfer usually doesn't have to do it forever but it is necessary for changing the club face's orientation

It is quite interesting, I was using it for years and never had a name for it until I became friends with Brian Manz. He was doing to the same thing to fix slicers and he had a name for it, I like the name.

Mike in 1970 Dick Aultman used it in his book square to square golf swing. It goes on about it was the new thing in golf and many had trouble doing it. His beleivefdz was a strong left side makes the right side were most in those days used strong right sides. He stated by curling the last 3 fingers of your left hand under while the club goes straight back from the ball not only helps establish left side dominance but also puts the back of the left hand,wrist and lower forearm into the vital straight-line"square" impact position at a time when the golfer has maximum control of his swing.

As an example hi says hold your hand straight out infont of you as if you were holding a club gentle , now squeeze the last 3 fingers of your left hand and you will notice you fingers will curl under, continue turning under untilll the back of your left hand and back of your forearm form a straight line

I have a book "the secret of golf" that has many old time teachers so called magic moves, this is just one of them......thought this mite be of some intrest to you knowing how much you put into your teaching, wich is appreciated by all....joe

Joe,
I have the square to square book in my collection. Definitely an interesting book. You can find a similar takeaway move in some other old time famous books. All in all, the moral of the story is monitoring and being conscious of hand and wrist conditions is the key.

I used the twistaway move this past season when using my driver with good success. I found I needed it less though with irons. I guess with the longer club and bigger head its harder to square the clubface and this seems to help. Joe Dante has taught something similar but it focuses more on bending back the right hand which also accomplishes the same thing. Hope to see you for a lesson, then I can get some professional feedback as to whether it is a worthwhile and necessary thing to continue to use.

Swinging "left", please...thanks!

Swinging "left", please...thanks!

Will do pm... So sorry for the delay. I am on the road, now in Arizona

Just about completed the ball flight guide while traveling and such. One of the articles is a nice in-depth look at swing direction vs strike direction. Working hard at publishing a nice simple description of all of these important concepts. Apologize for the delay in my content but my season ends in 2 weeks and I am dedicating 5 months to just pouring all kinds of content here along with sharing lots of my research over the years
