🔑The body can't move faster than the arms in the golf swing, but it can move earlier.
⏰Slowing down the arms allows the pelvis to move earlier in the downswing.
💥Reducing tension in the arms and hands enables better awareness and feel of the club.
🎯Adding speed gradually at the bottom of the swing allows for a smoother transition and better impact.
💪Proper femur positioning is crucial for hip rotation.
Why is it important to slow down the arms in the golf swing?
—Slowing down the arms allows the pelvis to move earlier, enabling better hip rotation and leading to more power and accuracy.
How can I reduce tension in my arms and hands during the swing?
—Learn to hit shots with a relaxed grip and practice tension-free swings to develop better awareness and feel of the club.
Should I try to hit the ball harder to generate more power?
—No, adding speed gradually at the bottom of the swing allows for a smoother transition and better impact, resulting in more power without sacrificing control.
How can I improve my hip rotation in the downswing?
—Focus on proper femur positioning by keeping the lead knee external (turned out) and avoiding internal rotation, allowing for better hip rotation and increased distance.
Can these techniques be applied to all skill levels?
—Yes, these techniques can be beneficial for golfers of all skill levels, as they promote a more efficient and powerful swing.
