HackMotion on the Golf Course: What You Can Learn Playing A Hole
We say that wearing the HackMotion while you practice is like having your coach with you on the driving range.
But what happens when you transfer to the golf course?
We took the HackMotion out on the course to play a hole and see what you can learn.
This article will go through drives, approach shots, and chipping, but HackMotion is also useful when working on your putting.
1. What do you want to improve in your full swing?
Using HackMotion on the Golf Course
Tee Shots
If you’ve been practicing your driver on the driving range, working on straightening out your slice, bring your HackMotion to the course to test it.
It’s easy to get motions correct on the range when they don’t matter for your golf swing, by wearing the HackMotion on the course you’ll see how far off your wrist angles are.
Most golfers find that the amount of extension in their lead wrist coming into impact is much higher when they are on the course.
This can happen because of poor mechanics or simply from trying to incorrectly control your drives.
Try to pick a time on the golf course where very few people are playing and hit a few tee shots focusing on your wrist angles and if they are matching the range they should be in.
Approach Shots
Similar to tee shots, approach shots need the correct wrist angle to improve direction and distance.
As you’ll see in the video, the goal was to increase flexion a bit to help lower the ball flight and get a few extra yards of distance.
If you control your clubface at impact, you will decide where the golf ball goes.
Experiment with hitting shots that have varying trajectories and curve to them all by adjusting your wrist angles.
Get the instant feedback you need while on the course to see why the ball never draws when you want it to and learn how to stop slicing the ball.
Short Game
The short game is where you will save all your strokes. Wearing the HackMotion on the course helps tweak the amount of extension or flexion in your lead wrist at impact.
Pitch Shot
The greenside pitch shot needs a little extra height and a softer landing, which requires extension in the lead wrist.
Bump and Run
The bump and run type chip can benefit from more flexion in the lead wrist.
Having some flexibility in this position and the ability to clip the ball clean, thanks to proper wrist angles is an important benefit of bringing your HackMotion on the course with you from time to time.
Final Thoughts
The next time you have a late afternoon range session and the golf course is quiet, keep your HackMotion on and head for the golf course.
You’ll get a lot of information about your game and make that connection between why on course and driving range practice are not the same.
