Owner’s Manual to Take Advantage of the Golf Clubs You Received for Christmas

A new or used set of golf clubs requires an owner’s manual

If one of your Christmas presents was a set of golf clubs or a driver, you will need an owner’s manual to take full advantage of their performance and technology. The performance of a golf club depends on how the golf clubs are used, both on and off the golf course.

One effective drill in The ESPY Golf Swing Coach is called Bunt-Type Chip and Pitch Drill. Anywhere you practice your putting, you can practice the Bunt-Type Chip and Pitch Drill. The only thing, in addition, you will need is a backstop to catch those wayward shots that happen, especially if your are rusty from a layoff in golf. Even Santa Claus can take advantage of the Bunt-Type Chip and Pitch Drill during his off season.

What is nice and easy about the Bunt-Type Chip & Pitch Drill is that it uses the same Sync/Preset technique used in all golf shots from tee-to-green. The ESPY Golf Swing Coach, the Owner’s Manual, in Section 3.0, covers the techniques and mechanics used to preset your wrists and elbows.

Another component to use in the Bunt-Type Chip and Pitch Drill is a throw-down home plate, shown above. The throw-down home plate is a training drill used for ball positioning, Sync and Preset, and creating a strike-zone for focus.

The key points on the home plate drill are the back corner (4) and the front edge of home plate. The back corner provides a point to set the Sync/Preset with each golf club. For shorter irons, this point is shorter than for the mid- and long irons, and fairway woods, including driver, as noted above.

My YouTube Video on Setting Up the Bunt-Type Sync, Preset, and Yaw Elements

I produced a YouTube video illustrating one of the toughest shots in golf, which is the 12-Foot Chip/Pitch shot around the green. This is an important drill to perform because the adrenaline that it creates is the same as if you are on the golf course, especially if you have friends watching or doing a video.

Most of us have I-Phones that you can use to help create this adrenaline-like drill in a video. This Video trains your subconscious mind to not differentiate between your practice and your round of golf. You might very well practice your golf swing using your conscious mind, but I can guarantee you that once you step foot onto the golf course you will play golf using your subconscious mind.

Presetting your golf swing using the RIP Technique in your golf swing from tee-to-green:

SYNC Technique- Use the Cam (Palmar Flex and Dorsiflex) to pivot or hinge back both Index Knuckles about the lead Radial Styloid Process to the back corner of home plate. See the illustration below of the Palmar Flex and Dorsiflex maneuvers and the location of your Radial Styloid Process.

The SYNC Technique- Palmar Flex with the lead wrist and Dorsiflex with the trail wrist.

  • SYNC Technique– Use the Cam (Palmar Flex and Dorsiflex) to pivot or hinge back both Index Knuckles about the lead Radial Styloid Process to the back corner of home plate. See the illustration below of the Palmar Flex and Dorsiflex maneuvers and the location of your Radial Styloid Process.
  • PRESET Technique– Use the Cam-Over (Pronation) to cock at the left Pinky Knuckle, for the right-handed golfer, toward the right big toe.

PRESET Technique- Cam-Over with the lead Pinky Knuckle about the lead Radial Styloid Process, the missing link in golf.

The SYNC/PRESET Technique will put your wrists and hands into the Lock Position, as shown below. Eighty percent of your golf swing is completed with the Sync/Preset Technique.

Operation DOG TAG

Sports, such as golf, along with fitness and an exercise regimen that includes yoga, has been proven to be a great Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for trauma victims. Veterans and those who have experienced a traumatic situation where the mind has been traumatized and disrupted can use golf and yoga to help re-establish connection and pathways in the brain. Golf also provides an excellent opportunity for trauma victims to reconnect in a social setting to develop a dialogue without the pressures of clinical visits.

Time-lapse photography that I reviewed during my Kinesiology Xerox Box Golf Research Project compared the golf swing vs. baseball swing and how similar the Sync/Preset wrist action in the golf swing was to the baseball swing sequence.

Here’s the QUESTION: How many times standing in the batter’s box did you think about your golf swing mechanics, techniques, or elements. Your were only focused on the pitch. Why not use the same Outlier technique in golf.

Sir Nick Faldo demonstration of the Preset Golf Swing Technique

One of Sir Nick Faldo’s first golf swing fundamentals that he learned as demonstrated in this YouTube video entitled The Preset golf swing technique. Nick Faldo discussed the WHAT, but didn’t explained the HOW in his YouTube video.

The Sync/Preset Elements in The ESPY Golf Swing Coach explains how to setup the classic golf swing maneuver to place the wrists into the key Lock Position. This was the same golf swing technique used by David Duval during an interview with Charlie Rymer on Golf Channel. These two Videos are probably two of the best Videos to discuss the wrist action in the golf swing.

A Recommendation for your Golf Game:

I would like to recommend an interesting radio program that I regularly listen to originating from my home state Arkansas on my I-Heart Radio app on KARN 102.9 FM station, out of Little Rock. They air a golf show called Arkansas Fairways and Greens, at 7:00 AM CT each Saturday morning, hosted by Bob Steel, and co-hosted by Jay Fox and Charles Crowson. Bob occasionally as has his guess Alex Myers with Golf Digest and Ron Sirak with Golf Channel. I was interviewed on his show about my book, The ESPY Golf Swing Coach. This show is worth tuning into for golf news and information.

Jay Fox is an Administrator with Arkansas State Golf Association that discuss amateur golf and rules of the game.
