To generate your maximum power, you need to know how to properly shift your weight while swinging. Of all the intricate movements made up in a golf rhythm, weight change is among the most important.
The thing about a proper weight change that most recreation players fail to understand is that it has to start again towards the goal before finishing your back. This movement – usually referred to as re-concentrating -It is in the activity of every high -level player, regardless of what the rest of their swing looks.
Think about a baseball player making a pace. As the ball approaches the dish, they take a small step towards the tumulus as they turn their torso and make a “back”. This helps to create the separation between the upper and the lower body as you wrap them in opposite directions, which creates thousands of possible energy ready to release.
If you want to maximize power at your rhythm, you need to add this action. And to help teach the feeling of this movement, instructor Joe Plecker has an excellent exercise he demonstrates in the video below.
How to feel the right weight change
Plecker, a Top 100 Golf teacherExplains that he likes to learn moves in golf swinging with dynamic exercises. Such a workout, which he learned during a visit to Korea earlier this year, is a modified version of the “Step-Swing” exercise.
For this routine, all you need is a stretch stick or an old shaft that can easily rub. Turn like you for a normal pace, and then take a stand.
“What I like to do is start with the club a little before me,” Plecker says. “Then I will swing back and swing my lead leg behind my foot of the trail, I will swing completely this time and then through.”
You have to hear one thimble Sound when you swing through the area of ​​influence. Once the club get to the finish position, draw it again and beat the stick when you get your lead leg and beat it behind your footprint.
“What I’m taking is a split of two halves of my body,” Plecker says. “The bottom half is going forward while the upper half is turning.”
When you do this, you are creating that “spiral” that can be released in the landing and generate tons of club speed.
“What you will feel is that it really starts to become a cadre, a pace,” Plecker says. “By making it two, three, four times in a row, you will find your rhythm or the best pace in which you can control the movement.”
Do this routine a few times, and then take a club and make some shakes, making sure you keep that feeling of shifting your weight to the target before you finish your back. As you start mastering this feeling, you will notice that you can generate the speed of the club much more without effort and you should see longer discs.
