I've seen a few people casually mentioning the "flick" method - could anyone shed some light on this concept and the full technique used?
Thanks!

You just stop the forward motion before the stick hits the end of its full travel. Most do it by flicking the stick forward - the thumb/finger comes off the stick before the full motion is complete.
I gave it a good go, found I was even more over the show than normal... which is a lot! Good luck to those that can do it, 'taint easy.

It's best to do what's natural for you. None of the flickers set out to be that, it's just the way we've always done it

It’s a way to use Master clubs with Pro club results. Wether learned or inherent it’s a good method to learn as long as you don’t get DQs. I have learned how to do it just as an experiment to compare results. I have not committed to it since the feel is different and once I do it for a bit it messes up my normal swing. I will stick with the full swing it’s just more fun for me.

Now that you say it I can't speak for others. But Larry is the one who let me know I was flicking before q school. This being my first season on tgct it's clear that's the case at least for me. |

No doubt there are lads that have always done it, and I’m not questioning you at all, but there’s an awful lot of folk that have adopted it, I’ll bet. It wasn’t an advantage in the past (Tgc1 and 2), it’s just the way the new swing works (or doesn’t, as it happens) |

I've found most success with using two thumbs (PS4), and holding it up before my face with the tv/picture of the golfer in the background. I keep my focus on the stick and thumb movement, but I can see the golfer swing in the background beyond my controller which helps my timing to be accurate. This has worked very well. Also, I've found taking practice swings until you get at least two straight shots in a row helps. After two successful straight swings there's that immediate muscle memory for the real shot. Helps.

How long, on average, does a round take you? |
