In this edition of the Monarch Beach Monday Mulligan, PGA Director of Player Development Jackie Riegle coaches us on how Jake Knapp, recent PGA Tour winner and OC native hits it so far with such a smooth tempo.
Combine a wide swing, rotation, and lag to increase clubhead speed, then, pair that with a smooth tempo and you’ll be hitting the ball like Knapp. Give this a watch and let us know your thoughts in the comments section!

let’s talk about how local Orange County boy Jake knp recent tour winner developed so much Club head [Applause] speed so Jake knap swing has been compared to Fred Couples and it’s something that I actually try and emulate a lot in my golf swing and it’s something that I kind of forgot about but I’m really really harnessing in on it these days so having really good hand connection between your hands the grip in the club head and soft enough hands and understanding the difference between cocking your wrists AKA doing this and then wrist hinge okay so that’s a hinge like a door and this is called wrist understanding how to do that in your golf swing can really make this club head move really fast my coach would always tell me you do not hit the ball with your back swing and you don’t hit the ball with the start of your down swing you hit the ball where it is at the bottom of your swing Arc and that’s where you need that club head moving the fastest so a really cool swing thought is think of the club head as being very wide on the back swing okay a big wide back swing and then as it comes through you’re doing this wrist and you’re bringing that club head really close to you really close to you really close to you and then let it go at the ball think about the butt of the club pointing at the ball as long as possible pointing to the ground as long as possible till you just can’t handle it anymore and then you let it go in the swing Tracer which we’ll do the club head goes back wide and then comes through Tighter and it actually looks like a half moon you couple that with making sure your hands feel really soft okay really soft really wide swing and then have that wrist on the down swing as long as possible you’re going to develop a lot of Club head Speed without trying really hard at all okay so having your hands really soft big wide swing and then hold that angle on that down swing okay big wide swing hold that angle you’re going to develop a lot of Club head speed give that a try have that visual understand the difference between wrist and wrist hinge okay you’re going to develop a lot of Club headit Speed without trying really hard swing like Jake knp swing like Fred Couples and you’ll have more fun golfing I’m Jackie and that’s your my name Mulligan [Applause]
