The Golf Swing

The objective of the swing is to create speed on the downsizing, not the back swing. A fast back swing will mess up the motion and rhythm of a shot. Keep a good rhythm by taking the club away from the ball slowly using your arms not your hands.

As the golf club starts back, your left shoulder and hips should turn naturally so that your weight can transfer to the right side. The hands should start to set at about waist high. As the golf club rises to the top, the shoulders continue to turn. It is important to have your hands set properly.

Next when you down swing to return the golf club head to the ball with maximum but controllable-speed. Too hard of a down swing can cause a perfect golf swing to go bad. If one pulls with their left arm from the top they will have all their whole body working in the shot and will likely hit consistently. Those who lead the downswing with the left side may slide ahead of the ball upon impact and run afoul a near perfect golf swing.

Finishing the golf swing one must have a good high finish. All that weight that one transferred to the right side in the back swing, must get transferred to the left side. A good finish will see your right knee facing the target, your right foot up and hands high and close to the left ear.
