Most golfers make a golf swing as follows:- *
At the address position, the club face is aligned
Square to the Target Line, as the back swing is performed the
club face gradually "opens" relative to the "Square
to the Target Line".
As the down swing swing movement is performed,
the club face gradually returns to the original address position
so that at the precise moment the club face makes contact with
the ball, the club face is once again "Square to the Target
Line"
As soon as the ball has been struck, the club
face begins to close, relative to the "Square to the Target
Line".
With this conventional type of golf swing the
club face will only be "Square to the Target Line" at
the precise moment the ball is struck, subsequently as soon as
the ball has been struck, the club face immediately begins to
close.
This means that in order to get a good result,
the timing of the movement has to be very precise in order to
ensure that the shoulders, the arms and the hands are returned to the original address position at the exact moment
that the club head makes contact with the ball.
However by learning to force the arms to interact
as the club head swings through the contact area, you will extend
the distance that the club head is "Square to the Target
Line"
However you must maintain the upper
body angles until the club head reaches the bottom of the
swing arc.
