Golf Swing Hockey Slap Shot
In the celebrity golf circuit, it seems as if hockey players are the ones firing some of the lowest scores. Check out the photographs below of the Detroit Red Wings' Brett Hull, a 600-goal scorer and future NHL auditorium of Famer, and it's easy to glimpse why.
The pivoting and bracing in a good slap shot -- and Brett's is one of the best ever -- are alike to what a good golf sway requires. Add his athleticism and flexibility (and a killer competitive mark) and you get 300-yard drives and a near-scratch handicap. When Brett connected regal Oaks homeland Club in Dallas, we didn't have to do much work on his sway -- he currently could proceed reduced. His sway is PGA Tour-caliber -- not bad for a friend who can't perform much and takes serious punishment on the ice eight months of the year. When he leaves from hockey, gaze out -- and keep your wallet in your pocket.
SWEET SWINGS
On the back of his hockey business business card, Brett is listed at 5-feet-11 and 203 pounds -- a border that's hard to impel round on the ice. He's stocky and strong, with a barrel barrel and legs wider than my body. But as muscular as he is, he is still incredibly flexible. ascertain out his shoulder place in the third frame of the top row of photographs. To be adept to get his bears turned like that without going his head or manipulating his arms to get around his broad chest is an outstanding accomplishment.
His thick build keeps Brett from getting broad on the downswing the way Tiger Woods and Karrie Webb do. rather than, he develops power with lag and arms of iron alloy. Even past influence, his arms and chest form a flawless triangle. couple of players are strong sufficient to keep that triangle in location so late in the sway.
I was surprised just how alike the golf sway is to a slap shot. I habitually considered the slap shot was a more around-the-body move (hey, we didn't have hockey in Texas when I was growing up). The peaks of the two swings look a lot alike -- a full coil, with the chin up to let the left shoulder turn under.
In both swings, the key to developing power is the braced left leg at influence. In the hockey swing, Brett even twists his skate to cut into in and brace himself.
The same features that make his slap shot so good -- Red Wing Associate Head adviser Dave Lewis says Brett's is one of the quickest and most unquestionable in the history of the game -- make his golf swing good as well. Put his head up on the computer video screen and track it -- there's no surplus head action at all. At the complete, he's completely released (see his title on the back of his jersey?) and balanced. His swing has as much grace as it does power.
