Save The Body Sway For The Dance Floor, Not In Your Golf Swing
Body motion in the swing is necessary, but too much of a good thing can wreak all kinds of havoc with your golf swing.
I received a question over the weekend from a BioForce Golf subscriber about body motion in the swing.
The question from our subscriber asked how not to fall into the trap of too much movement backwards during the golf swing.
What we are really talking about is weight transfer during the golf swing.
Too much weight transfer onto the back foot during the take-away and backswing causes difficulty in getting back to your front foot on the downswing.
This creates some difficulties in your timing during the golf swing.
Oftentimes, this type of swing fault is termed body sway.
So how do we fix this golf swing fault?
Lets take a brief look at golf swing mechanics.
Optimal golf swing mechanics are both a rotational (rotating around a fixed spine angle) and linear (weight transfer backwards and forwards) movement.
It is the sequencing (proper order) and combination of these two biomechanical movements that develop the great...
