The “kinematic sequence” describes the optimal order in which your body parts should move during the swing to generate maximum power and speed. In short, it works as follows: • Backswing: The backswing starts with the upper body (shoulders and arms moving the club back), and then the lower body reacts to the upper body’s turn. • Downswing: The downswing is the opposite! It starts with the lower body (a transfer of weight towards the target), then the torso rotates, and finally, the arms and club follow. The Kinematic Sequence: Unlocking Power
The golf swing should feel like an effortless motion. We aim to avoid any tension, as the natural rotational movement of your body is efficient enough to swing through the ball and get it in the air. • Think Rotation, Not Force: Imagine spreading your arms out like wings and rotating your body as if you’re making “helicopters.” This analogy helps visualize the rotational movement we’re trying to implement in the swing. • Strike First, Then Distance: Your primary goal in the early stages is to make solid strike/contact with the ball and get it consistently in the air. Once you achieve consistent contact, we can then build on adding distance.
