Transition from backswing to downswing is the subtle sequence of movement that plays a huge roll in how cleanly a player strikes the ball. It’s also something that even the very best players – Tiger Woods being a recent example – struggle with.
Here, Justin Parsons, the director of instruction at the Butch Harmon School of Golf, details his Top 3 tips for making a great transition in your swing.

3 Golf Swing Tips That Will Make All the Difference in Your Golf Swing
Have you hit a plateau in your golf game? You’re hitting the driving range and golf course every weekend, maybe even practicing at home, but your scores never change.
Even if you don’t care much about besting your buddies, we all want to best ourselves. We want to see clear improvement and know that our hard work is paying off. If you’re stuck in a rut, it’s not because you’ve reached your full potential. More likely, there’s some small error in your golf swing that’s holding you back.

You may not need all three, but odds are at least one of these tips will illuminate an error you didn’t realize you were making.
The Takeaway
One neglected aspect of the takeaway is the relationship between the hands and the clubhead. In fact, it’s far more common to worry about the direction the club swings on the takeaway. You may even have received advice on this or heard theories on whether it’s best to swing the club more outside or more inside.
However, if you watch the best players in the world, you’ll notice that there isn’t much consistency when it comes to club direction. Some golfers swing way inside, some swing way outside, and many fall somewhere in between.
Meanwhile, they’re all making incredible shots and taking home trophies. So, here’s a theory: maybe the direction of the club isn’t the real issue. If you watch these same players, you’ll notice there is one thing that remains consistent no matter which direction they guide they club:
They always keep the clubhead outside of the hands. To clarify, when we talk about keeping the clubhead outside of the hands, we mean the clubhead is just slightly farther out from the body than the hands are. If the clubhead passes through the plane of your hands and closer towards the body, the clubhead is now inside.
