🔄Starting the downswing involves flexing the upper body forward and adding right side bend.
⬇️Flexing the upper body helps maintain a low lead side and prevents excessive forward lean.
⬅️Right side bend keeps the body centered and prevents lateral movement.
⏭️The upper body motions occur in reaction to the lower body actions in the transition.
🔀The upper body motions should be coordinated with the other parts of the swing, such as wrist and arm actions.

What is right side bend in the downswing?
—Right side bend is when the right shoulder and right hip get closer together, preventing excessive lateral movement and keeping the body centered.
How do the upper body motions interact with the lower body actions?
—The upper body motions occur in reaction to the lower body actions in the transition, creating a coordinated and efficient downswing.
What other swing components should be coordinated with the upper body motions?
—The upper body motions should be coordinated with the other parts of the swing, such as wrist and arm actions, to maintain a smooth and effective swing.
How can I practice these upper body motions?
