Ever wondered why 99% of beginners slice the golf ball!

There are several reasons, however if you can install this very important move into you golf swing early on it will encourage positive chain reactions to occur to help eliminate that unwanted slice.

‘Pulling the chain’ is the phrase I use to describe the first movement in the downswing.

Re-read Lesson 4 and refresh you memory of how you managed to complete your back swing.

From half back, one left arm raises vertically as the shoulders continue to turn to 90 degrees. You should not feel any tension under the armpits here as this will restrict the independent movement of the arms to initiate the downswing.

From the top of the backswing keep your back to the target and pull the club vertically down to waist height with no thought of turning your shoulders back to the target. During this stage notice that: The weight has remained on the inside of the right knee. The wrists have remained hinged.

From half down its time to attack! As the club descends to the ball the entire body should drive forwards onto the left side in an attempt to find the pose as soon as possible. This is part of your swing which does require speed and balance. This is a release of the right side of your body as the: Right knee Right hip and right shoulder turn through impact, allowing the natural rotation of the forearms to occur.

NOTES

Your head never stays still in a golf swing. In the back swing it moves to the right and on the through swing it will move to the left to allow the natural weight shift and vital finishing pose.
