When Cameron Champ describes his action, he uses one word: slingshot. This is a great description of what his action is. See in this video how his backswing is a gorgeous gathering and loading of the arm-club unit that positions itself to be collected by the kinetic chain that is the Cameron Champ Catapulting Slingshot! Enjoy!

    Good video…more focus should be put into proper arm and hand function.

    Nicely done looking forward to more videos in the future!

    Nice video Shawn, and aimed at the average recreational golfer… who can only relate to imagery and feel. However when you are talking about “catapulting the arm unit” you can only explain it scientifically to be accurate.
    Have you studied the work of Dr. Steven Nesbitt on his alpha-beta-gamma torque analysis to better explain yourself? Here’s an interesting scientific paper that might help you:

    I suggest you look at a Moe Norman swing at the finish. Nice and high. Considered one of the best ball strikers ever.

    Shaw,

    Great video! You really should contact Bobby Greenwood. He has been teaching this type of movement for 30 plus years. You would enjoy speaking with him. Greenwood is a retired PGA pro who not only teaches a solid fundamental, he also plays to it and with success. Check him out and give him a call.

    Muscles contract ie pull.
    Position ourselves ahead of the ball during the BS
    and we are in position to pull from both sides through impact.

    Is it really any more complicated.

      Excellent visualization for the down swing. My inconsistency has been diagnosed by your slingshot video. Before impact my rt. elbow stops leading and quits moving where the forearm and hands throw the club at the ball. Great job. keep them coming.

Which Fujikura shaft is best for you? Inside Fujikura’s full product catalog

Published

on

Two weeks ago, we highlighted Fujikura and the success of Ventus on the PGA Tour, and as one of the most popular shaft lineups in golf. Before that, we talked about Fuji’s new Axiom iron shafts, and saw our members and GolfWRX’s own Brian Knudson getting fit into Axiom.

In this video, we talked with Spencer Reynolds of Fujikura Golf about the other shaft lineups the company offers that are sometimes overlooked. Fujikura offers a wide-ranging shaft lineup for golfers with different skill levels, profiles, or even desired price points. These options include the Vista Pro series, an entry-level option within the Fujikura catalog. Spencer goes on to detail Motore X, Ventus, Axiom, and the Speeder NX series of shafts.

Tune in above to see which Fujikura shaft might be the best fit for you.

ALIGNMENT MADNESS!!

It is just crazy how golfers are literally beside themselves when they are placed in a properly aligned set up! They feel they can’t swing or function! We take a dive into why this is and it has to do with how the eyes are set up in the human skull!

WATCH: Adam Schenk discusses why he brings TWO bags of clubs to tournaments

Published

Check out GolfWRX’s new hero, Adam Schenk, as he discusses why he carries two bags full of clubs to each event and how he decides the 14 that he’ll take to the first tee!

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

Our Andrew Tursky talked with Schenk for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. An excerpt below:

In fact, Schenk travels with so many extra clubs that he needs not one, but two golf bags to carry them all.

“I travel with a little more equipment than most people,” Schenk said. “It’s fun for me, probably more fun than playing, honestly.”

He’s a shot maker, and he sets up his golf bag to play to that strength, keeping multiple drivers around for different courses and conditions.

“I’ll do something different (with each of my driver setups),” Schenk told GolfWRX.com. “Some are for a draw, some fade, some I can do both with. Some high, some low. Just fitting whatever the golf course is calling for. If I’m slicing it, I’ll probably play a driver with more loft to help me turn it over a little more.”

But that’s not the only reason he travels with so many clubs. It’s also for the pure enjoyment of strategizing and tinkering.
