Learning The Correct Golf Instruction Swing Sequence
from: Mike PedersenThere are three segments of the golf instruction swing sequence. They are namely the back swing, the down swing and thirdly the impact and follow through.
The first golf instruction swing sequence is the back swing, which is very important to the entire golf swing. This is because if the technique is not correct at this early stage, the other parts of the golf instruction swing sequence will not matter and the result will be a very poor drive. The main focus at this stage of the golf instruction swing sequence should be on body rotation and club and arm extension.
The downswing golf instruction swing sequence actually starts with the legs and hips rather than the arms, which does the actual swinging of the golf club. There should be a clear transfer of body weight from back to front with the knees, thighs and hips all starting to move forward. This is the correct instruction for the downswing segment of the golf swing sequence.
Finally at impact the body weight should be on the outside of the forward heel and the inside of the rear foot. This is the only correct golf instruction for this swing sequence.
Getting the golf instruction swing sequence right is really impossible without golf-specific exercises to condition and strengthen the relevant muscles. What you should remember is that the golf swing is usually a very alien and unnatural movement, which the body violently resists. This is the reason why it is so difficult to get right the golf swing, something that looks so simple and easy to master when you look at it from a distance.
Golf specific exercises are a very effective way of getting the body to adjust so that it will be a lot easier to master the golf instruction swing sequence.
