This Swing Test Reveals a HUGE Power Leak in Your Game!
Kerrod Gray demonstrates a simple swing test to identify and fix a major power leak caused by lifting the hands too early in the backswing. By placing a visual reference line across the trail hand at setup and initiating the backswing with the core, golfers maintain a connected takeaway and generate deeper body coil for effortless power.
Lifting your hands early in the takeaway disconnects your arms from your body turn.
Draw or visualize a line across your trail hand at setup as a visual height checkpoint.
Initiate the backswing with core rotation first to keep your hands low and connected.
A lower trail hand through the early backswing builds better torso coil and increases power.
