Initiate the downswing with your lower body

Pressure on the front foot, unscrew the lid, regain balance: the floor and legs initiate the downswing before the arms do.

The Transition at the Top

Stretch the left side—not to rush anymore—and pause at the top: make a smooth transition from the backswing to the downswing.

Go down through the inside

Right elbow lowered, left arm in line with the feet, quadrants on the ground: to avoid coming over the top or thrusting with the shoulder.

Hands and arms until impact

Point and then snap, relax the clubface, bring your arms back in front of your body: the role of the hands at the end of the downswing.

Other Lessons

The downswing begins from the lower body: apply pressure toward the front foot, let the hips move forward, and then let the arms follow without rushing. Exercises such as the step, the pump, and the lid help establish this sequence.

In summary: a smooth transition and a well-sequenced downswing

Start the downswing using your legs and footwork

Follow the sequence: hips, torso, arms

Avoid overshooting and a rushed downswing

Release the club at impact with your hands
