Practice this 3 Step Body Swing squences
then, you will improve your golf with distance and consistency without swinging your arms
It is actually quite simple
Let's start!
The 1st Step is Takeaway
the Start of Golf swing
You start to take the club head away from the initial position
After setting up
This squence, from the start postion to this position
is called as 'Takeaway'
This initial movement is critical for your golf swing
The first important point is
As you can see
If you use your hands and arms mainly
Your shoulders won't rotate properly
You need to focus on shoulder rotation
It should look like this
Your arms and the golf club align in front of your chest
and keep the position
and need to put your club head above your hands
and the club face should be a bit closed
which allow you to rotate your body more actively approaching to the impact position
keeping your hands ahead of the club
and in regard to the swing path
don't get inside too much turning your wrist
even if you turn you body actively
keeping the wrist angle at the set up position
proceed the Takeaway step
then hinge your wrist
Following this instruction, have a appropriate swing path and a bit closed club
This is the first step -Takeaway
from there to there
and the 2nd step is
from the Takeaway postion
Through the backswing top position
to the transition position, You start to transfer you weight to the front foot doing a squat with your front knee which drop your arms a bit automatically
This is a ready positon before you make an acceleration
The first important point is
From the Takeaway posiiton to the backswing top
Relax your right arm and shoulder
do not try to raise your arms
Relax your wrists to make a proper wrist set at the backswing top
Just turn your shoulders
Takeaway
Relax your right arm and shoulder
Relax your wrist
Just rotate your shoulders, then you will have a proper backswing top
Not your arms
but rotate your shoulders
You turn your shoulders, but you need to focus on your front knee which turns a bit following your shouders
as your body parts are all connected
That is very important
Takeaway
as we turn our shoulders, our front knee is automatically following
Which means we are transferring our weight to the trail foot
But do not think of your trail foot, just focus on your front knee
You turn your shoulders
but focus on your front knee
like this
1. your front knee turns following shoulders, 2.then do a squat
Connect these two actions as one action
It has to be automatic
Practice this repeatedly
Takeaway - the first setp
Turn your shoulders, but feel the front knee follows
Followed by the front knee squat
This automatically drop your arms
as you have not intenstion to hit the ball at the transition
The first step
The second step
The second step is the backswing top to the transition
In this sequence, your front knee is very important
The 3rd step is
the impact, follow through and finish
You need to extend your front leg like this
using the Ground Force
like this
which turns your body and arms
like this
as your arms are connected to your body, you don't need to try to swing with your arms, it happens automatically
1st Step
2nd Step
3rd Step
in the 2nd step
As these two actions are connected
Front knee squat
and extension of your front knee
like this
These two actions are connected
Doing a squat
Creating a lag
Turning hips
Using the Ground Froce
Stretching your front leg and turning your hips
If these actions are not connected, they cannot be applied to your swing
But, if these actions are connected as one action
the all actions will be applied to your golf swing automatically
So they become your skills
So do not understand or practice the actions seperatelly
But put them into a countiuous sequences
So
the 1st step
as you turn your shoulders
your front knee follows automatically
followed by Squat action automatically
like a habit
Followed by Squat, then Stretching your front leg, turning hips and pushing your lower tummy towards the target automatically
These actions are connected
Our body works like this in a golf swing
All the actions need to be connedted and automatic
Take a time when you do the frist step -Takeaway
When you turn your shoulders to make the backswing top, the next sequences follow automatically
I will show you the three steps seperately first
as you understand all the steps and actions, then try to connect the three steps
I will show you the three steps seperately first
