The Best Golf Swing Fundamentals
Best Golf Swing Fundmentals
Dave Cahill here at our Palm Springs Golf Schools here in Palm Springs. We are looking at golf swing basics. A nice summary
of all of the golf swing basics…Including the set up. He we have the face on view using
the driver. Starting from the heels they are about 15 inches apart. This is for a golfer
who is 6 feet 1 , which is my height. If you are a little taller or shorter adjust the
width accordingly.With an iron for my height my heels are about 12 inches apart. Notice
with the driver that the ball position is
at the inside of the front foot. This is because
the ball is teed up with the driver. Notice as usual that the butt end of the club is
pointing at the inside of the thigh. Also notice that I have cocked or swiveled my head
in the direction of the target. When we move to the side view you will notice starting
from the feet that i have slightly pulled my trailing foot off the line to allow easier
rotation of my hips in the back swing. My biceps
are hanging straight down from my shoulders.
If yo look at my spine you will notice their is a small curvature in the upper thorax.
And you will also notice that my tail bone is very slightly protruding out an inch or
so. My knees are slightly bent. You can see again that my head is swiveled slightly in
the direction of the target.Here is a little demonstration of the turning
motion in the back swing. Notice the golf swing is founded on the principle of rotation and
if you notice from the down the line view of the golf swing. When we rotate our shoulders
back and forth our arms and the golf club move exactly on the same plane of my rotation.
will notice the same thing. When I rotate
my hips and torso level on the back swing the arms and golf club follow along. If yo
put the golf club across your shoulders you will notice wen I get in my spine angle tilt,
now the clubs and arms will move perpendicular to the spine angle. . So when i turn back
the club follow. When I turn back and maintain that spine angle will follow it exactly back
in the forward swing. And now watch when I get in my address position watch how when
i turn… and you can see this in a mirror or with your camera. The club will follow
and in this case watch how i have pushed my arms inside the line. I manipulate my arms
and wrists to put the club too far inside.
Now watch when i turn back correctly an how the club moves perpendicular to my spine and the club will go exactly on the target line
through impact. You can see this clearly in slow motion of the golf swing. Perpendicular
o the spine and the club is coming right up the especially the upper portion has remained
close to my.torso. Now i am going to do more arm line. Staying in the spine angle
and simply turning. notice how my right bicep little demonstration of what happens to the
golf club if I turn the shoulders to flat in relationship to my spine angle. This is
like casting over the top of the golf plane. But if I move my shoulder perpendicular to
my spine on the forward swing..turning the right shoulder down, under, forward and through.
The club follows the turn exactly on the correct line to the ball. Thos are the golf swing
basics.
