Irons , Tornade Swing.

It's similar swing of Tornade driver in irons.
But, for the ball on the ground, "Tornade" is quite challenging. Seldom used, actually only one time tried.

In the tee shot, the success rate is not so low, but there is a risk of shank. So I try it in following conditions only.

- 175Y or over carry needed.
- There is a hazzard in front of green.
- There is a neccesity or wish of challenge. :-)

With 4i 180 ~ 190Y, with 3i 190 ~ 200Y, with 2i 200 ~ 210Y carry, very high fly, then can stop on the green.
Shorter than 5i, almost no meaning.


"Tornade" swing
Grip:
- Left hand is square or weak
- Right hand is ultra strong ( Almost 90 degrees right rotation from usual square grip )
- Left hand is "Baseball", means don't put the thumb on a shaft.
But the reason of it is, my arthro of left thumb was almost broken. So I can't put the thumb on to a shaft.
- Right little finger is on the forefinger of left hand. It's over wrapping.
- Right hand is pretty strongly grabbed with fingers, without no angle of right hand back.
Address:
- Stance is square.
- Waist is also square.
- Left and right ball position is a little right.
- The rotation axis is center of body.
- Body is completely vertical no vend.
- Left arm and shaft is slightly angled, different from other New-new Hammer Siwng. To grab left hand firmly.
- Face is square to target.
- Right hand is quite strong and grab the grip at fingers.
- Align right eye, the crossing point of right fingers and shaft and a little lef side of ball to define the initial head position against to the ball.
- No bended Left wrist.


From this position, shoulders start rotate, then hit the ball.

Everybody - seeing this first - says, "What ? When did you hit ? ". :-)
Then from around third times, starting to laugh wryly.
Taking back:
- Both knees should not be moved from initial positions.
- Head should not be moved.
- taking back to quite insaide.
- No arm rotation.
- No dynamic cocking.
- Shoulders rotate 90 degrees, enough.

Down swing:
- From top, head goes to ball in straight line.
- The right palm is always up.
- The lowest point of head is after hitting a ball.
It's descending blow.
- Swing out to quite left side.

Follow:
- Not concious about a shape of finish.
