From this position we now have to swing the club back to the ball. To do so we will release the tension created in the lower body while swinging your arms.

. Unless you can master the backswing as I have described it will be very difficult for you to keep your balance. If you recall in the set up we put you in an atheletic stance, slightly bent at the waist and knees flexed
Now it is time to try and understand ball flight and whatever swing issues can effect the resulting shot.
In the last post we talked about swinging the golf club back by coiling your upper body while resisting with your lower body. In order to create some resistance from your lower body in the backswing
The 4th and final influence on the flight of the golf ball is clubhead speed. It is clubhead speed that tells the golf ball how far to go. In order to create club head speed we will have to put the swing in motion.
That being said, the 3rd influence on the flight of the golf ball is the angle of attack (the angle that the club approaches the golf ball). Rule of thumb is that the longer the club the more shallow the angle of approach. Conversely , the shorter the club , the steeper the angle of approach. Did you ever wonder why your clubs are all different lengths.
Today we will discuss swing path and it’s influence on ball flight. The rule is that the path the club follows determines where the ball will start out, the clubface will influence where it will end up. If you do not put yourself in the correct starting position, you will not have a chance to swing the club along the proper path
As I mentioned in the last post, there are 4 influences on the flight of the golf ball. The first influence that I will cover is the golf clubface. Where the clubface points the golf ball will ultimately end up
For starters, we have to remove any preconceived notions you may have of the golf swing. We will talk today about the 4 influences your golf swing has on the flight of the ball. Ball flight is the end result that we are all concerned about. Do not think for one minute that the golf ball knows or cares if your left arm is straight or your head is kept down.
