Many golfers come to me to increase the power of their golf shots, as that is what I do. They are usually surprised to find that I start their training with the fundamentals starting with short game shots and using the sand wedge.

To have an extremely powerful golf swing, it is imperative to have a swing that is fundamentally sound. All the levers in the body that control the face of the club and the direction of travel of the clubhead must be trained to control the club at low speed. This is so that when we swing very hard, all the control factors have been programmed into our swing and practiced to perfection.

Since the throwing actions I teach are generally contrary to the throw most players have learned, I find that learning to use the component parts while practicing short shots creates total control as we swing fuller and harder. . it is also much easier to learn these actions when they are performed slowly and with great precision.

To better understand this, think about how one would learn a complex piano piece, the pattern would be learned first, and then since the pattern was installed entirely in the memory bank and as easy to do as signing your name, could you do it? at maximum speed.

Study my ezine article on throwing down and throwing up to better understand why this needs to be programmed into your swing and your old clothes need to be programmed.
