How To Use The Downswing

The downswing in golf is undoubtedly one of the most critical parts of your game.

The downswing has been the subject of a lot of misleading advice, leaving a golfers worried about their backswing and always trying to improve the backswing, even when it is the single best part of their game.

Most golfers start their downswing by turning their shoulders, which often causes them to end up swinging their clubs across the intended line of flight from out-to-in-- with their shoulders open on impact.

You must follow a straight line when making the impact with the ball and then follow through without deviating; if your club curves off, so will the golf ball--and it will more than likely end up in the woods, rather than on the rough.

When performing the downswing, you must also keep it powerful to get the furthest distance possible and maximize flight time. To achieve this, your shoulders must be square at the moment of impact - and you must follow through with your swing to ensure the ball is forced along a straight path.

One fault even pro-golfers have is reliance on the dominant right hand. When the right hand dominates the left hand as the downswing begins, control is transferred from the left hand entirely to the right. This makes the right hand throw the club head forward, over the left hand and arm, which destroys the club-line and releases the club head too early, which results in a weak out-to-in impact.

To correct this, you must retain control in the left hand and left arm throughout the backswing and downswing. This will make the right hand assume it's correct role and allow for the perfect downswing, giving you the power to hit the golf ball and guiding the ball in straight flight.
