The Basic Fundamentals of the Golf Swing

( week 13) Results of club being closed in golf swing.
Backswing Closed(dia 1) Short BackSwing(dia 2) Closed downswing(dia 3) closed impact(dia 4)
When not opening the golf club properly in the back swing as in (Dia 1). This not only cause's a shorter than normal back swing shown in (Dia 2) but a position where you cannot release the club causing a potential pull hook. (Dia 3) shows the bad position in the down swing with (Dia 4) showing the result at impact. It is possible to hit the ball straight with this bad back swing but not consistently as having to manipulate the clubface holding it open through impact.

This lesson will be followed up next week with a lesson to show how retaining body angles helps ball striking. .
