In this episode, we dig into three of the most challenging (yet critical) aspects of the golf swing. First, we explore the timing of the shifts: when to move pressure and mass back, and how to begin shifting forward even before the backswing is fully complete. Next, we tackle the start of the swing, including how the wrists, arms, and body coordinate to get the motion underway. Finally, we dive into the transition, that razor-thin moment when the club changes direction, momentum must be managed, and forces need to be applied in the right places… all in the blink of an eye. These three pieces represent some of the hardest moves for golfers to master, and we share our thoughts on why, and how players can start to get them right.
