Putting It All Together
Purpose
To coordinate your hands, arms and body work in the whole swing
Training Emphasis
The sequence is all important! Handle leading the clubhead at the start promotes the right hip turn to initiate the body rotation.
Allow the momentum and centrifugal forces to work for you in the backswing and a feeling of “soft hands” and a heavy swinging
club all the way to the finish.
Exercise
The parts of the swing as outlined earlier are initiated in sequence and blend to form a swinging motion of the club to wind up the
backswing, delivering a solid hit on the ball through to a comfortable balance finish.
1. Turn – Push down and against the grip of the club to cause your “oily” responsive right hip to turn, dragging the
clubhead back and setting up a swing motion of the club, hands, and arms.
This swinging motion helps coil the backswing body pivot of the shoulders against the hips, knees, and feet. Feel the
coil, balance, and stability that this exercise builds.
2. Push – Initial push back of the left hand against the right leads into the “Push the Right Hand Bent” (low loading)
action of the wrists following the takeaway. At the point where the wrists hinge up, the left wrist cocks and rotates
into the bending right wrist.
The right arm bends and the right elbow points down and in towards the right hip – the left arm remains extended.
3. Uncock the hands throwing the clubhead directly A to B down the hit line into and through the ball
4. Finish in a nice relaxed, balanced position where the hands and arms have no tension. Watch the ball fly towards its
target with no concern for the outcome.
By now you should be looking over your right arm and right foot will be up on its toe.
5. The secret here is once you have learnt the exercises, when you play on the golf course, play as one swinging motion
and not the different pieces from the start of the swing right through to the finish.
You want to play with good rhythm, balance and tempo when on the golf course and trust in your ability to hit that
ball.
