Anything that has …
Anything that has to do with changing your speed will never be reliable. If you wind up right, you can unwind as fast or as slow as you feel for power or touch. When the big muscles control the takeaway (not hands) you can swing at any speed you want. Timing is never an issue once you learn the correct sequence on the takeaway and downswing… Ross

The main reasons …
The main reasons golfers Flip is throwning the club head into the ball with their back hand rather than keeping the hands passive and allowing their turn to impact. If the hands help take the club back (should be shoulders only) they will help on the downswing and generally throw the club head past the handle and the front wrist bends and there is no straight line down the front arm thru the shaft to the ball. Using the hips and your turn for power will over ride the hands. Turn don’t slide.

Ross,
Hi,I was wondering if there is any uncocking of the wrists prior to impact to square the club face or will this cause a flip?Sometimes I have done this and hit the ball mile but it is very inconsistent.Please advise.
Thanks

The best way to …
The best way to think about the wrists or Grip Pressure in general is… “You do not change your grip pressure at all during the swing” You do, however allow the wrists to hinge naturally due to the inertia from the shoulders turning on the backswing. If you do not actively hinge your wrists, then your wrists will just allow the club to hinge and unhinge squarely every time adn at the right time as you turn.

What percent of body weight is on the front foot at impact?

The best way to …
The best way to understand this is for you to setup with a golf club against something (like a chair) as if the chair is the ball. Then…undwind from ground up a little towards the target using all of your body unwinding against the chair. The shaft must be in line with the front arm. Use your knees, hips, torso, chest, shoulders (but not hands). When you find the most powerful position… you are there. I think maybe 60% on front foot so you can still use the back foot to push…Ross

This all sounds great and I agree with most of what your saying, though would you not agree it’s more important to talk about posture and creating good angles and balance. you can’t expect a player to swing like you want to without good angles giving them a good chance of coiling and uncoiling like you describe while maintaining connection.

What you call a slide I was taught and Jack Nicklaus called the transition, as did Ben Hogan. So what is the difference between their method which was pretty successful and what you’re describing.
Thanks.
