The downswing takes the golfer onto the 4:30 path to impact. Get this part of the swing in order and golf becomes a simpler game
I have always talked about the similarity of baseball and golf motions. The only difference is the ball sits or is thrown in a different area relative to the ground level.
Many people talk about Mac Ogrady in awe with regards to his swing and teaching philosophy. It is really no different to what I teach. This video shows him talking about what equates to drill 1- 2 and 3.
Getting the shoulders to turn correctly pays huge dividends for the direction the arms and club move and how the body works. Proper sequence is everything. Watch to learn the desired shoulder movement.
Throwing the club away from the body in the transition of the golf swing is one of the largest causes of poor ball striking and swing path. How can a golfer stop that?
Will a perfect backswing find a perfect impact or downswing path? - No. So that's why understanding and becoming good at the 430 entry will find the perfect backswing for you.
Does the club have to face directly towards the target at the end of the backswing? No, it doesn't. There are many options that can work.
Most golfers are under the wrong impression as to when and where speed of the clubhead comes from. It's why mastering the 430 release is not only a key to straighter shots but also longer shots too.
Can the body orientation cause you to mishit your shots? Absolutely!! In this video I explain how some instruction ideals may actually be hurting your swing rather than helping it.
A question I often get asked- Is why the forearms? This video will clear up why that is the focal point of the release rather than the hands themselves.
