Kevin Faivre's Method: Using Your Body to Enhance Your Swing
In keeping with his TPI and Smart2Move certifications, he explains the swing in terms of body movement and weight transfer. In his lesson on the weight transfer, he breaks down the pelvis’s movement during the downswing into three phases: a lateral shift (the transfer), followed by a rotation, and then an upward extension to generate power. In the short game, he emphasizes maintaining the arm-shoulder triangle during bump and run approaches.
