Why Swinging From Knees Does NOT Prove 80% Hand Speed!
Milo Lines debunks the myth that swinging from the knees proves hand speed accounts for most of the power in a golf swing. By comparing an arms-only kneeling swing to one with full torso rotation, he demonstrates that the body's turn acts as a 'turbocharger' for the arms. The video highlights that even without leg drive, torso rotation is the primary driver of clubhead speed.
An arms-only swing from the knees produces significantly less speed (approx. 54 mph) than one with torso rotation.
Torso rotation acts as a 'turbocharger' for the arms, facilitating more efficient movement and higher velocity.
High clubhead speeds achieved from the knees (up to 108 mph) are the result of torso rotation coupled with arm swing, not just 'hand speed.'
The 'arms-only' argument for kneeling swings is flawed because the chest and torso remain highly active.
