Improve Golf SwingImprove your golf swing needs to be explained simply. And that explanation needs to provide the overall feel of a good swing. Please visit our Home Page to learn all that the SWAIL DVD and eBOOK have to offer all golfers.
To improve golf swing, Swail is going to make a case for one quick initiating flail move that will increase whiphead speed and pathway consistency. No matter what may be your degree of flexibility, even partial success with this move will lead to improved shotmaking. To maximize your success with this move, Swail has a prerequisite. To start improving your golf swing, please think of your body as divided at the waist into two parts, each of which is going to feel as if it’sbeing used wholly differently. The Prerequisite ut ter, adj. Webster: extreme to the point of strangeness Swail has fussed quite a bit about looseness, suppleness. If any of your mid-torso muscles are tense as you initiate your flail, when you try to fire your hips ahead of your shoulders, you’ll fail. That’s because your shoulders are ‘attached’ to your hips by those tense muscles. When you fire your hips, your shoulders will uncoil simultaneously. Curiously, you can omit tension from mid-torso muscles by omitting tension from your forearms, wrists and hands. “Omit” is the key. At address your wrists and hands should be utterly floppy. Most readers probably will acknowledge that they’ve heard something like this, but that they still “grip” the handle. Perhaps you’ve gone to the practice tee and significantly lightened your “grip” to see what better would happen. Probably, not much. Believing you must have some degree of “control” over the “club”, you kept some tension in your hands, wrists, forearms. Improve Your Golf SwingImprove your golf swing by doing what others won't. Most golfers simply cannot accept utter hand/wrist/forearm floppiness. But this is Swail’s prerequisite. Try it. Be “extreme to the point of strangeness”. Be clown-like, ridiculous in your floppiness. Have no sense of control over your whip. Have only the vaguest idea where the whiphead is. The whiphead should feel like a rock on the end of a string. As you initiate your lift’n coil, mimic Bobby Jones and Julius Boros by moving your hands before your whiphead. Once you’ve got yourself utterly floppy (and probably incredulous!), hit some 20-to-40-yard pitch shots by: snappily whirling your left hip around and behind just BEFORE your utterly floppy lift ‘n coil finishes. That is, when you sense your coiling arms and cocking wrists have reached the point where the whiphead (the rock on the string) has roughly another 15 degrees of rotation before it reverses course, whirl your left hip around and behind as snappily as you can. Don’t be surprised if this aggressive use of muscles between your knees and waist causes your hand/wrist/forearm muscles to join in at the same time. Keep after this drill until you can maintain your feel of hand/wrist/forearm floppiness THROUGHOUT the entire motion of hitting a golf ball. Yes, floppy-feeling hands through the ball during the flail. Look at Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson’s lower hands just after impact, so loose and floppy that they’re way off the handle. Fred Couples does this, too. |
