” PLAYER”
Imagine the comments your playing partners will make after you shoot a record round the first Saturday. Then, the second Saturday. And the third.
Are you sure they’d be curious? They will, you bet.
It would make sense to try as hard as possible and play the best you can.
The answer to that question is yes..stupid!
Let’s go!
What would you choose to do if there were one move or position in your golf swing?
Let me wait for your thoughts and then I’ll give you an answer.
{ waiting }
Here it is: Your left shoulder is the center of your swing. The center of your chest.
Your left shoulder position is what causes the majority of your problems with golf swing.
To the right is the blocked shot.
The slice.
Snap hook
The pull hook.
The Sh____k.
Push to the right
You can swipe.
You can also have other problems but they are most likely due to poor posture of the left side shoulder.
However, that is not all the secret. The secret lies in having your left shoulder correctly positioned on the downswing as well as through impact.
The center of your golf swing is located on the left shoulder. The left shoulder becomes the centre of your golf swing when you move away. It was not before. It is impossible to make a center by simply standing on the ball.
You must remember that the swing of golf is dynamic. It moves. Therefore, the position you take during the static part of the swing does not matter. Without movement, there is no center.
As you start your back swing, your left side should move to the right until it is roughly in a position where the ball is pointing at or behind.
This is the center.
This is where you can identify your golf swing center. This is the left shoulder. The next paragraphs will explain how to identify this location.
However, it’s not an answer to the original question.
Let’s ask the question.
“If there was one single move, or position, in your golf swing that had to be done correctly in every single swing, every single time… what do you think it would be ?”
Answer: Clubhead Path…
It would be a great book to write about the ways that pros play this game. It happens every time.
Nothing is more essential in golf swings. It will help you be a better golfer. “player”If you are able to do it correctly,
Ok… now tell me, what’s the best club head swinging path exactly?
It isn’t the most famous. ” over the top “Move, The one that makes the biggest slice and robs accuracy and distance. These two things can lead to many missed strokes every round. What is the right?
From inside to outside of the target lines is the correct route for the club head. The line from the target to the back of the ball is called the target line. It’s a straight line. It does not contain a slice nor hook.
You can easily get your club head on the line. Simply set up above your shot, visualize the line, and get the club head to follow that line. This can be done without the need for hitting any balls. Simply push the clubhead along this line. You can do it very slowly. Watch the club’s head as they travel the route.
It’s not so difficult is it?
However, it’s a different story when trying to swing a complete golf swing. Most golf swings fail because it takes motion and control.
This is how it has always been.
The only thing we want in this instance is to make sure that the head of the club follows the correct path.
Now, you will take your backswing on the same club path as your head and follow it with your downswing in the other direction. Did you get it?
But there’s a problem. Nearly everyone will place their center on the down swing. That center is your left shoulder, as we discussed earlier.
It will be hard to explain this section, but I’m here to help.
In the backswing the left shoulder will be a little behind the ball.
The shoulders must be parallel to each other during the downswing.
This is best done by drawing a line representing the club’s headpath on the ground. Turn your back to the ground and position your shoulders so that your arms are parallel with this line.
You should now have your center moved just a little to the left. You have created what is now called the ” slot” just under your right elbow.
This is the exact position where your shoulders are at the moment in your golf swing, when you need your arms and hands to reach the ball on the club’s head path.
This is when magic happens. This motion is so effortless that there’s no noticeable movement in the shoulders.
This club’s headpath must be seen in the miner’s eyes. This is what great players do before they take their shot.
These key ideas can help you keep your center, your center.
Use your left shoulder to hit.
For as long as possible, keep your eyes on the target.
Maintain your shoulder parallel to club head path
Head out to swing the club
Step out and step down.
Imagine the journey of the club from beginning to end.
Always do this
It is best to practice this drill in slow motion. It’s all about the process, from start to finish. Keep your eyes on the clubhead path.
If I use the term slow motion I am referring to painfully slow. It takes you a minute to swing one time.
The key position to remember is that your center swing should be parallel to the clubhead path, while the clubhead must follow the exact path. The target line is from the outside in to the interior. Your swing’s center is, of course, the left shoulder.
This advanced conversation is one that you won’t see on the driving track. This is the one-move move you should learn.
It will come out like magic. You’ll be hitting it faster than anyone else. Your foundation will be your source of power. You’ll feel like a pro. Go use it.
Don’t think this is impossible, it works. It doesn’t matter if it fails, there is something you have done wrong. For any other problems, please email me.
