Orange Whip? / by Kaz Hashimoto

Trevor turned me onto the Orange Whip, which I'd heard about on the Tube. With a new swing to groove, seems this ingeniously simple tool will help me do that, so it was a no brainer to try. Sold. Sale closed by my primate attachment to a fantasy outcome. Just like Trump says in the Art of the Deal.

Orange Whip is pretty awesome for warming up prior to hitting balls. Can also feel how it'll make me a bit stronger and provide the feel feedback to burn in that wide back swing and then accelerating narrow to hit max whoosh past 6 o'clock.

The bonus aha is the realization that swinging a club is more like throwing something rather than swinging something. I've thrown balls overhand and sidearm, and sometimes, as when skipping rocks, almost underhand. There's a wrist flick at the end that really makes the ball (or stone) really go. I don't have the consciousness of doing that in the golf swing. With a ball, the hands, wrists and arm has to be loose to execute that flick, which the Tube says is important in the swing, but didn't connect that to enabling the flick action.

Time to take a few days off, scan the Tube and reflect on the flick. Something tells me I've been doing too much pulling with the left side, and providing that flick with the left hand instead of the right.
