What you are about to read is one of the best kept secrets in all of the golf instruction world. It is the one move that will transform your game from an "also rand" to an unimaginable power hitter.
It will create a magic in your swing that your playing partners will notice immediately.
I have written about this before. I believe that it is the single most important element in a good player's golf swing, right after proper clubhead path. But you can't have one without the other.
It is the single most common mistake, fixed here, a mistake that most players don't even know they are making.
Sounds nuts doesn't it. If you spent a Sunday watching the PGA tour on TV, you will have seen this move on every single one of the players. Even the ones that fail to make the cut are doing it.
David Duval, while struggling to get back to his high level of play, is still doing it.
Tiger Woods does it every single time (almost)
Your club champion does it, the high school golf team top players all do it.
There are no good players out there that don't do this.
Players on the NIKE tour all are doing this. All of them.
How many times have you heard that you must hit against a firm left side? Or that you need to delay the left side.
Some of you may never have heard this. And if you did and you tried it, well it just didn't work.
But it is true... you must delay the left side in order to get the club on the correct power path on your downswing.
But ........... here is what you have not heard............ you only delay
" PART" of your left side.
Sounds foolish doesn't it.
For a move that produces such grand results, the explanation is amazingly simple.
The part the you delay is your left shoulder.
The rest of you left side can release toward the target all it wants. No problem. That would include your lower body from your left foot up to and including your left hip.
But not you left shoulder. You will delay your left shoulder movement for an instant. That is all it takes.
Now let's have a peek at what happens when you let the left shoulder go and don't delay.
Since your arm is connected to your shoulder, where you shoulder goes, so goes your arm. And at the end of you arm is the club and so it makes sense that where your arm goes so goes the club.
So if I spin my left shoulder out, the club will go out too, as to the target line.
Your shoulder will travel away from your neck and face and move around to your back. While doing this you will also be turning away from the target line. Both of these moves are deadly to a good golf swing.
Here is what is supposed to happen to the left shoulder in a properly sequenced golf swing.
As you move from the right side ( at ground level) to the left side on the downswing, your left hip will bump to the left, ever so slightly in a lateral direction, toward the target. Your right elbow will be forced to your right side and down as a result of this hip movement ( it is a slight hip movement)
It is at this point when you will realize that you cannot hit against the left side as some instruction may indicate. If you did, your hips would not be moving toward the target and your weight would still be on your right foot.
But you can hit against your left shoulder, so while the hip is doing it's thing keep the left shoulder right where it is , your back is toward the target keep it there too.
Your arms and hence the club, will be moving at speed toward the inside of the ball, your left shoulder will not be moving away. What it will do and is supposed to do, is to :
MOVE CLOSER TO YOUR NECK AND FACE AND MOVE UP JUST A BIT.
I know that doesn't sound right, but it is.
Try this: without a club, get into your set up , turn into your backswing as if you are holding a club, make a full turn.
Now without moving your back or left shoulder thrust your hands down toward am imagined ball as if you were trying to throw wet paint off your hands into the ground. Its sticky paint so do this very hard and fast.
Stop your hands at or about where the ball would be, get that paint off your hands, but DO NOT MOVE YOUR LEFT SHOULDER.
Do this four or five times, shake the paint off, stop at the ball, then the last one you do continue this exact same move all the way to a golf swing finish allowing your body to respond to this move into a posed finish while sensing the resistance of the left shoulder.
If you do this right ..notice that your left shoulder actually moves toward your neck and face.
Not away.
Now those of you who get this will find that one of your great power sources is hitting with foundation. Foundation is your body, when you move out of the swing too early you lose the foundation and so you lose one of the best power sources that you have available without effort.
Its the reason that good players hit the ball so far without any obvious effort. They use this foundation as one of their power sources.
In addition to be a power source it is also the best way to repeat a good swing and gets great results with accuracy when hitting irons. Especially scoring irons like short irons and wedges.
Why? Its because while keeping the left shoulder in a stable position every time, you have made room for you to put the club in the "slot" every time.
You have maintained the required space for the slot to be created and soon you will find that it is easier and easier to repeat as you are able to recognize the positions.
I urge you to not dismiss this important move. Do the paint drill. Do it everyday in your living room, in the garage, at your office, repeat this over and over until you get it.
Then do the same drill with a club.
I do this drill before every single shot that I take. Doesn't matter whether it is on the range or on the golf course.
Every single swing includes this drill with a club. The Club I am going to hit, and then I engage my mind to pay attention to the left shoulder and nothing else.
Try it..... if you get it, it will be like magic.
