Does he get it done today? 🏆

Rate of closure talk… ⬇️

If the clubface is closing (twisting) less through the ball, will the player hit it better? It’s a great theory 🤔

But Phil Mickelson twisted the heck out of the shaft and had a “high rate of closure” …he was still pretty good! ✅

———

I believe you should work on your mechanics to get the release in a reasonable spot, then train your hands and skills to be elite at controlling it 👊

Things that help slow the closure rate:

🔹 Shallow shaft
🔹 Bent trail arm at impact
🔹 Handpath curving around the corner
🔹 Rotation
🔹 Having the face strong enough (closed/square)
🔹 Low VSP (maybe) 🤔
🔹 Many more 

I’m not saying you have to chase these things! This is for showcasing Viktor’s awesome swing only 😁

PS Instead of rate of closure, it should be called closure per displacement - so the reading doesn’t change based on club speed (Chris Como told us that at Open Forum)
