Subject: most important part of swing?
|
I worked on this a couple years ago, and found it helped greatly.
This year I "rediscovered" it again, and I'm curious if anyone else
finds it as important.
If I get the club parallel to the ground at waist high, and also
parallel to the target line I then find it almost guarantees a good top
of swing position and thus a good downswing.
It helps greatly because at this point in the swing, things are still
pretty "calm"
and it's easier to get into this one position than any others.
talk amongst yah'selvess!

It's known as being on-plane and why it works.

And just because the hands and arms might be in a good position,
doesn't mean the rest of the body is. The most important IMO is the
release of the arms/wrists and the balance of the rest of the body.

Sadly, for me a good top of swing position guarantees absolutely nothing.
It might *encourage* things, but that's all.

David... you are the best, and I mean that in all sincerity.
Can I hire you as my swing guru?

I appreciate the compliment but I do not consider myself a guru, just
someone well studied in the golf swing.

you here.
