Golf Swing Trainer – The Down Swing (part 2)
In my first post I discussed the importance of your hips and the role it plays in you down swing. In the post of golf swing trainer, I’ll talk about how it should feel and what to expect from your results (if done correctly) of a well-executed down-swing .
When you let your hips lead the way and have your arms and clubs follow them, you will see a great improvement in your game. How do you know if you’re doing it correctly? I’m sure that about 95% of all golfers have been hitting from the top and from the outside for quite some time, but if you follow the steps laid out in part one of this post, those actions should feel strange to you and my problem is how am I to describe it to you.
There seems to be only two ways that I could describe it to you. One, we coil ourselves up on the backswing to gain tension that is going to be released as late as possible on the downswing. Holding that tension is the “staying uncomfortable” feeling, the “storing up” feeling. That is what gives us distance.
Second, as we move our hips laterally and keep our head back, but do nothing else, there is a complete absence of effort in our arms and hands. Then, if we have kept ourselves from uncoiling, the hands and club come down on the inside. That, plus club-face position, gives us direction.
If the swing has been made correctly and if the hand-wrist position gained by the backward break has been held, then one knuckle of the left hand should be visible and two of the right, the club face should be at about a 45-degree angle with the ground, the right arm should be firm .against the, right side, and if the hips have gone through as they should, the player should be able to see the outside of his right leg from the hip to the foot.
Except for seeing the outside of the right leg, these check points are exactly the same as they were after the stationary wrist break on the backswing.
