Continued tips for swing

Since we know that the arms and club linkage wants to move directly away from the target, fold, and then move back expanding until it reaches the ball, we know that the cone needs to twist counterclockwise in space supporting and creating the shoulder and arm motion away from the ball. If the cone loses it’s structural integrity during the windup, the center of the shoulder and arm orbit will spiral out of position with a mishit resulting.

This means our foot to shoulder movement (the cone), must create the desired arm swing while maintaining constant ground contact and a braced orientation to the target. See how far you can swing your arms in a repeatable orbit while leaving your body behind. Increase your range of motion gradually, using the quality of ball contact to schedule larger and larger swings up to a full swing.
To maintain simplicity make your swing a one, two, three rhythm with one being the takeaway (the first 18″), two the transition and three impact. Three is really the whole show and waiting for three is the whole deal. If we can create coil in place without losing our balance we have a chance to release that balanced coil through the ball. The idea is to create maximum clubhead acceleration through the ball. Once the ball leaves the clubface the swing is complete. We start at the ball and we finish at the ball. The ball flight does not care what the follow through looks like so why should we. Our complete focus needs to be on contact which is actually the finish of the swing. We can’t stop there because of inertia so it’s riding free but doesn’t matter to anyone but the cameraman.
An excellent drill to develop proper impact posture is to stop our swing at the ball. At first this will not be too easy but as we become more familiar with the forces we are creating at impact we will be able to brace against faster and faster swings and still stop before the ball with the clubface in a square to target orientation. Caution is advised because the large forces generated can injure the relatively weak hands, wrists, elbows, etc. if they are not supported by the torso from the ground. That means experiment carefully, starting with the club reversed and swinging the grip end, to make sure all the motions are in synch. This would be classified as a plyometric exercise which is on the upper end of the training chain, potentially very stressful, and would normally be used only by elite level athletes. This means make sure you have it right before you swing with power.

Once you learn how to stick your landing at impact all you have to do is set up to the target and fire away with conviction. After that it’s just fairways and greens and bank deposits.
