A Malaska Golf Member wants to know about the Malaska Move. Mike explains that it’s really not his move but a move that Joe Nichols taught him. Mike also says that it is a feeling.

Mike’s observation about golf today is that he sees players try to shallow the shaft on the downswing and turn and go on it. For most people who try to shallow the club, their hands will push out in front as they turn, the clubface will be open, and they will have a hard time catching the clubface up to the ball.

Joe wanted Mike to take the club back but noted that the momentum of the club wants the club to fall back away when you change directions. Joe said you must feel like you are tipping the club or pulling the handle down. This will help get the club back in front of you, so you can turn and hit the ball.

Mike says the big thing about the “Malaska Move” is that when you tip the club out, Mike’s right shoulders are moving down and not following the swing around. Doing this is not tipping the club out.

Tipping the club is about getting the club in the correct arc so the club can go and it runs into the ball. If you do this correctly without using your shoulders, the momentum of the club will get out in front of you. This allows you to turn as hard as you can into the ball.

If you let the club fall behind you on the downswing and your body turns too quickly, you get into trouble catching the club up to the ball.
