video lesson: how to fix my slice – ok as you have seen in just about every single infomercial on the golf channel, everyone and everybody is trying to sell you a way to fix your slice. I did a search on this on youtube and came up with a ton of videos. …
What he means is your arms bring the club down, not the shoulders.Yes the left hip starts the downswing, but that is not what he is talking about. Don’t swing around with the shoulders…
There are indeed many different ways. The downswing is merely a chain of reactions triggered by a technique performed by the person swinging, whether it’s slightly shifting your weight, or starting with the hands first.
It appears to me that there are a lot of different ways to start the downswing, not just one. Maybe we (includes me) sometimes think there is only one way to do something that is the “correct” way. I don’t think that’s true.
Arms don’t “swing first” they are just a reaction of proper rotation on the way back. First thing moving to the target should be your right hip.. And that is actually moving towards the target on the backswing.
One of my instructors suggested putting the feet together like that… Also if you’re tall like me you have to hover over the ball more, getting into a better stance.
“From the top the arms swing first” and “Swing with feet together drill” These two coaching gems have made a big impact on my game over the past few weeks. Thanks HC14
Interesting…is this “arms first” for the driver only? Irons and FW woods being different?
These golf drills are always good. The advice is perhaps leading people to only hit with the arms and hands. Actually, the drill shows that the hips turn on the backswing – bringing the arms up – and turn again bringing them back down. On the way down you can feel the right point to accelerate and snap the hands through the ball.
This is the best advice I have had for some time and it works. Thanks, perhaps now I can start to play better golf again. I will let you know.
Thanks for the good advice!
