I was probably the last authorized instructor authorized by HOMER KELLEY. My question is do you know someone who can teach the entire book? I went to Joe Daniel's school once and it was the worst school imaginable. Hardly any of the book was taught in 10 days at a ridiculous price. Alex Sloan, my teacher taught the whole book in 7 days. All of the old guard are now gone and it seems like nobody in the world even knows how to teach the whole book. It's sad, the public does not know what it is missing. THE GOLFING MACHINE BY HOMER KELLEY. In my opinion the greatest contribution to golf instruction and the greatest contribution to golf.
Great videos! Question- where should we think about accelerating our hands to before starting to decelerate the hands along the path? The left pocket? Just above the ball? The left ribs? Deceleration seems extremely important in the golf swing, I believe it helps transfer energy into the club. Graphs show the hands reach their peak speed just before impact - but I think we need to imagine a different spot to make it work. The left pocket/ribs seems to work well, just wondering what other people think.
Hi DJ-Flights - You’re quite right, the hands do slow down prior to impact… but it’s not something I recommend you consciously manufacture. They slow down during the downswing due to something I discuss in my “Bryson DeChambeau’s Swing Radius” video - the conservation of angular momentum. In layman’s terms, as you start to uncock the left wrist during the downswing, your swing radius increases as the clubhead moves away from your body. This increase in radius causes the hands to slow down. You should resist this deceleration and feel as though you’re still accelerating the hands (and club) through the ball. If you were to consciously decelerate the hands during the downswing, you’d more than likely flip your wrists through impact, ruining your swing’s power and direction control.
Anthony - these are fantastically insightful videos, thanks
Thanks for the kind words Ciaran, much appreciated

Life is a Cabaret and an efficient golf swing is a Trebuchet 😃
The human body is not a machine and never will perform like a machine....
a metaphor?
The machine part is that the closer you get to consistency, the closer you get to a machine and better golfer.
