Grip,Posture,Swing Plane

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Grip,posture,backswing plane are outlined in this video. It is important to establish an athletic posture because it will aide our ability to compress the golf ball and not strike with a glancing blow. Notice how the forward tilt comes from bending at the hips and not the waist. You need to also be aware of your weight distribution – keep it balanced from heel to toe, and 50-50 from right foot to left foot.

When attempting this drill with the two golf shafts together it’s important to keep the golf club in front of your chest during the takeaway. This can only be accomplished when the pivot moves the arms. Keeping the arms with the body will create more power and allow for consistency. I often see golfers who snatch the golf club back during the takeaway which makes it much more difficult to control the swing plane because the arms are not supported by the body.
