If you want to make your best golf swings then you need to swing from the ground up in your golf downswing.
Here is a really simple way to get you doing this and to improve your order of movement during your golf downswing sequence, allowing you to hit longer and strike more consistently with every swing.
In today’s video Top Teacher Steve Atherton shows a couple golf tips to control the club face that will help you hit straighter shots by having the club face in the proper impact position.
Chin and Shoulder Separation in the Golf Swing Transition:
What I want to talk about today is separation and specifically, separation between the chin and the shoulder in the golf swing transition or when I’m starting forward.
What happens too often is when people try to pull down with their shoulders and don’t get the lower body to shift correctly, the chin and the shoulder kind of pull together which creates this over-the-top move. The main reason for this is most people’s power source comes from their shoulders, comes from their chest, from the top of the swing, they’re using their arms and shoulders to create that speed.
In today’s video I’ll show you a golf swing transition drill where your chin and shoulder separate as your club drops into the slot to start the downswing.
As we take a look at the swing arc and hand path of an elite players golf swing. You can see the shape of this determines how much energy you can transfer into the golf ball and how much “Golf Swing Lag” you can create and release.
Should you keep the left arm straight in your golf swing? It’s a question that gets asked a lot, in this video we discuss the benefits of doing it and what it will create in the swing. I also give you a drill that will help you create a straighter left arm in the golf swing.
