Weekend Golf Tip


To swing with power, step into your drives.
Practice making the correct weight shift by raising your left foot on the way back
By David Leadbetter

The proper sequence of motion in going from backward to forward is a dynamic all good athletes have. Whether it's used to make a tennis stroke, baseball or golf swing, this power move begins from the ground up. It allows you to transfer the energy created with coil and torque going back into a powerful move going forward.
Most golfers unwind from the head down--the classic over-the-top slicer's swing that robs you of power. To ingrain the correct sequence, practice raising your left foot before you swing to the top. As you complete your windup, feel as if you're already 'stepping into' your swing. It's a double-directional move that promotes a better weight shift, helps brace your legs as you change direction, and encourages you to begin the downswing with your lower body.
So to all DRM players have a long weekend and happy golfing.
