The "Whip it to Rip it" Move for Seniors (and Slicers)

Craig Jones from Face First Golf breaks down the 'whip it to rip it' move, explaining why clubface release is the secret to effortless power for senior golfers. He demonstrates how to fix a slice and the 'chicken wing' by adjusting the grip and swing path to allow for a natural forearm rollover.

• Timing is a requirement for power in all athletic motions and should be embraced, not avoided.
• A 'chicken wing' is often a survival move to keep the face open when swinging over-the-top.
• Using a closed-face grip and a closed, narrow stance helps facilitate an inside-out path.
• The 'whip' occurs when the toe of the club passes the heel rapidly through the impact zone.
• Start with small, slow iron swings to master the slinging feel before adding speed.
