Top of the Golf Swing – How to Position the Club Correctly at the Top

If your flexibility allows for it, turn your shoulders and hips until your back faces the target, without moving your feet and knees to much.

At the top, your left arm should remain completely straight and your head should be at the same vertical level that it was when you were addressing the ball.

Your body weight should be mostly on your back – right – foot at this point of the swing.

The shaft of the club should be close to parallel to the ground but not past it.

If the shaft is pointing towards left of the target, your club is laid off. If the shaft is pointing towards right of the target, your club is across the line.

To prefect the Top of the Golf Swing your wrists should be fully hinged at this point and you should feel your body fully coiled, ready for the downswing to begin.
