Until Then Practice up with a quick tip from GOLFTIPS.COM
HAVE A DOWNSWING THOUGHT TO TRIGGER THE DOWNSWING WITH A MOVE FROM THE LOWER BODY.
Think of it. The backswing sequence is hands, arms, shoulders, trunk, hips, thighs, knees, feet. The downswing sequence should be the opposite, with the feet, knees, thighs and hips beginning the chain reaction swing until the arms and hands deliver the blow at impact. Some thoughts to help trigger the downswing might include one of these:
"Plant your left heel back onto the ground," "Slide your left knee laterally toward the target," and "Push your weight off the right foot onto the left foot." All of these body movements serve to transfer the weight, that had been moving to the right, back to the left (similar to the stride a baseball hitter takes when hitting). Remember, the purpose of both the backswing and the downswing is to make you strike through the ball squarely. If you don't hit it square, none of the other tips matter.
The key thing to remember from this week's tips is to try to build up a consistent thinking pattern, which, hopefully, can lead to a consistent ball striking pattern. If you're a good golfer already, you've probably got something that works effectively for you. But, if you're not, try developing a backswing thought and a downswing trigger that can remain consistent for a whole round. It should help get you on the road to more consistent golf.
